The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Oh, so the plan I had and the plan you had weren't the same?

Lin Feng was a little confused and embarrassed. He was glad that he hadn't revealed what had happened, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.

The elderly Davis glared and said, "What do you know? That's an elevation of the human race! Starting with Australopithecus millions of years ago, humans have abandoned so much, why can't we abandon our genes too? According to the predictions of neural computer, it's inevitable that humans will abandon their genes!"

"Stride forward! Stride forward by any means necessary!"

To elevate the human race?

Abandoning human genes?

Lin Feng sensed that things were getting serious; the 'plan' Davis and his group were talking about might be beyond his imagination.

So Lin Feng quietly tapped on the side.

"Davis, how far along is your plan? I'd like to know."

Davis replied, "There are no problems with the theory. What we lack now is the practice. But before we could even begin, the international police stopped us from conducting experiments to copy human thought into machines and create new humans. This is unacceptable from the perspective of current ethics and morality."

"Moreover, the PDC is probably also worried about the harm these new humans pose to modern people. Your waking up won't help anyway, alas..."

Listening to Davis's explanation, Lin Feng felt a headache coming on.

He understood exactly what Davis and his team's plan was.

To create a completely new kind of human being by scanning and copying human thought data and installing it into robots equipped with neural computers.

This would allow the creation of robots that are extremely similar to humans.

No, they are not robots. These are also human beings because neural computers can simulate the normal operation of the human brain. This means that these robots also have emotions, and they also have the same cognition and thinking patterns as humans. They are another form of 'human beings'.

Good guy!

I asked you to develop an artificial intelligence civilization, and you gave me a new human project?!

Was this the purpose behind your initial suggestion to me about brain implantation research?

You've been hiding it really well!

On the surface, Lin Feng showed no signs of distress, but inside he was in turmoil. When he was explaining the mission, he specifically asked Davis if he understood it. Davis said he did, but it turned out that the two of them were not even on the same level!

Hmm? Wait a minute, this New Human Project doesn't seem to conflict with the Artificial Intelligence Civilization Project...

Lin Feng thought for a moment and realized that the New Human Project, in a sense, was an artificial intelligence civilization project.

In terms of intelligence, humans are definitely stronger than AI. Humans are creative, while AI is not. This new human project, which is based on human thinking, is an artificial intelligence civilization project that maximizes intelligence!

Davis, how about I just give you my Wallfacer spot...?

After entering the Space Force's military base, Lin Feng and his group lived there for several days.

During this period, the Space Force and Earth authorities negotiated to minimize the impact of the attack on the International Court of Justice in order to prevent a larger conflict from erupting.

Whether on Earth or in space, the political landscape of humanity has begun to undergo subtle changes with Lin Feng's awakening.

As Lin Feng was leaving the base, he asked Domon William, who had led the way for them, for directions.

Where do we go next?

“Go to space. That’s within the Taylor Group’s sphere of influence. You’ll be very safe there.”

After so many days, Lin Feng has gained a preliminary understanding of the current political system of mankind.

Human civilization's politics are divided into two: the Earth political sphere and the space political sphere. Just like on Earth, the space political sphere contains multiple political forces, of which the Taylor system is one, and a relatively powerful one. These political forces are intertwined and far from being as clearly defined as they appear on the surface.

In the realm of space politics, the most powerful political forces are the three fleets of the Space Force: the Asian Fleet, the European Fleet, and the American Fleet, with the player fleet ranking second.

However, the three major fleets often give way to the player fleets because the talent recruited by the three major fleets is selected from the player fleets. The player fleets are the talent training legions of the three major fleets.

"Can someone like me go to space?"

Lin Feng pointed to himself and asked, somewhat surprised.

The scale of space is incomparable to that of the ground. The speed limit of light means that Lin Feng cannot lie on Earth and remotely control a mechanical avatar that moves in space in units of AU.

The signal delay is too large, and the signal weakens further and further away.

"We can transport your sterile cabin to space."

Lin Feng's robotic double and Davis were taken to the space elevator by Domon William.

Lin Feng's 'coffin' was also transported to the space elevator.

After several days of negotiations, Lin Feng and his group no longer needed to worry about what actions the political forces on Earth would take against them. With an appreciation for the future scenery, Lin Feng looked at the towering skyscrapers along the way.

Lin Feng learned from the conversation that the Earth's ecology is now very good.

The original industrial planet plan was cancelled, and a large number of factories were moved into space to directly mine industrial minerals, carry out industrial production, and then transport the industrial products to various space cities and Earth.

Farmland on Earth is scarce, and many rural areas have been abandoned. People now live in cities with low housing prices and enjoy the convenience brought by the space industry.

The Hong Electronics energy storage project was halted ten years after Lin Feng went into hibernation, as the quantity was already sufficient and there was no need to invest in more construction.

Controlled nuclear fusion has made human cities on Earth as bright as day, and excess electricity is stored in macro-electronic energy storage facilities, greatly satisfying people's material needs.

For those who lived before Lin Feng went into hibernation, this era must have been paradise.

Lin Feng and his group boarded the space elevator and headed into space.

The engineering vessel that carried Lin Feng and his team was more than twenty times larger than the engineering vessels Lin Feng remembered.

Moreover, unlike the previous spaceships that looked like a pile of junk pieced together, lacking any sense of symmetry, the geometric appearance of these engineering ships reminded Lin Feng of spaceships with functions from science fiction the moment he saw them.

At first, Lin Feng thought that human technology had made some new breakthroughs, and asked Domon William with some excitement, but he received a disappointing answer.

The working principle of these engineering ships is not fundamentally different from that of the era before Lin Feng went into hibernation. They are just larger, with a more aesthetically pleasing structural layout, and look more futuristic.

But apart from that, there haven't been any major changes.

It took Lin Feng and his team more than a month to finally reach the ten industrial fleets of the Taylor system and rendezvous with them.

The ten industrial fleets were much larger in scale. Through the holographic images inside the spaceship, Lin Feng felt as if he was slowly entering a forest made of metal.

The forest was enormous, stretching to the left and right as far as the eye could see.

At the very center of this enormous forest is a colossal man-made object. Its size is so vast that, based on Lin Feng's visual estimation, it is roughly equivalent to a quarter of the volume of the moon.

Sparks flickered on the man-made objects, and there were countless small engineering boats busily working like ants.

What is that thing?

Lin Feng couldn't help but ask Davis, who was standing next to him.

“That’s a gift,” Davis replied with a smile.

"For whom?"

Lin Feng asked this question instinctively.

“A gift for you.” Davis gazed at the enormous man-made structure in the distance, a look of emotion on his face, and explained, “You once talked with Radjaz and Knight William about the idea of ​​‘moving the microscopic to the macroscopic.’”

Lin Feng suddenly realized something, then turned his gaze from Davis to the man-made object in the distance with some surprise, and murmured a question with some doubt.

"Can this thing bring the microscopic to the macroscopic?"

Chapter 109 Chains of Distrust

Lin Feng's question did not receive an immediate response from Davis. He hesitated for a moment before answering.

"That's how it is in theory."

"In theory?"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. He noticed that Davis had left room for interpretation in his words, not saying anything definitive, which meant that there might still be room for failure.

Davis explained, "Moving the microscopic to the macroscopic, we have enough energy. With controlled nuclear fusion combined with macro-electron energy storage, we can manipulate energy more precisely."

"However, the energy carrier has always been a bottleneck for us. Excessive energy will cause the energy carrier to collapse, making it impossible to create a high-pressure environment. But without a high-pressure environment, we cannot move from the microscopic to the macroscopic, and therefore we cannot make any new progress in materials science."

"This becomes a chicken-or-egg problem."

Listening to Davis's explanation, Lin Feng nodded as if he understood.

This is like having an infinite amount of water, but a bottle can only be filled to the capacity of one bottle. If you fill it with more water, it will break. To get a bottle with a larger capacity, you need to fill one bottle with more water than the bottle can hold.

Even without Davis explaining in detail, Lin Feng could understand the difficulties involved.

"Because the Sophon has locked down research into basic science, it will be difficult for humanity to make any further progress in materials science. The discovery of solid metallic hydrogen, a completely new material, by observing the core of Jupiter was already the last hurrah for human materials science," Davis said.

Lin Feng looked at the man-made object in the distance. Since that thing existed, it meant that Davis and his team had found a solution.

Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, "That thing can solve the problem of energy carriers? Does it solve the chicken-and-egg problem?"

"Yes, after twenty-one failures, we finally found a suitable engineering structure that can create a sufficiently high-pressure environment based on existing materials."

"It is expected to be completed in another three years, and you will see the results of our efforts over the years."

The change is not in the materials, but in the engineering structure, which uses the mutual cancellation of engineering torques to enhance strength.

Davis and his colleagues' answer to the chicken-or-egg question was that the egg came first, and they made the egg in a different way first, and then used the egg to hatch the chicken.

Davis explained to Lin Feng how this huge object would generate ultra-high pressure that would crush a large number of atoms.

It was a huge ring-shaped structure, resembling a donut, only much larger, about a quarter the size of the moon.

The ring is encased in a series of huge coils. The strong magnetic field generated by these coils enhances the overall strength of the ring.

Once started, the ring will begin to rotate, accelerating continuously, much like the tires of a speeding race car.

However, in the universe, this ring has nowhere to attach itself. The ring's rotation will not cause it to move at a very high speed. Instead, it will generate an incredibly powerful centrifugal force through continuous acceleration.

As the rotational speed increases, the centrifugal force also increases until the atoms carrying the material inside the ring are crushed, at which point the acceleration will stop.

At this point, the atoms are no longer atoms, but are crushed by the powerful centrifugal force into a degenerate state of matter that is fluid like a liquid, but is not a liquid.

This degeneracy is not an electronic degeneracy, but a neutron degeneracy with a higher density.

In this way, the microscopic details are transferred to the macroscopic level.

Because the subject matter was too complex, Lin Feng felt dizzy listening to it. After gaining a general understanding of how the giant ring structure worked, he gave up on asking Davis about the solutions to other related questions about the ring structure.

Anyway, he's not an expert in this field, and the actual product has already been made. All he's learned about is to burn his brain.

More than a month after Lin Feng awoke from hibernation, the PDC held its first Wallfacer hearing since Lin Feng's awakening.

After scanning the room, Lin Feng noticed that the representatives from various countries were all unfamiliar faces, which gave him a sense of loss and change. However, this feeling quickly disappeared.
