The people have changed, but their attitude towards Lin Feng, the Wallfacer, remains exactly the same.
After the rotating chairperson finished reading the routine announcement, the Japanese representative made a request to Lin Feng.
“Wallfacer Feng Taylor, we can grant you the pardon of Goring Davis’s crimes against humanity, but you must immediately cease any acts of copying and modifying human mind data.”
"Although you were a hero of your time, in this day and age you should follow the moral standards of this era. The human right to life and information is sacred and inviolable."
Lin Feng feigned disbelief, spreading his hands helplessly.
“I’ve only been awake from hibernation for a little over a week, and you’re suddenly telling me all this? How am I supposed to accept this? The AI you’re using now was developed after studying human thought models.”
The German representative countered Lin Feng, saying, "Human sacrifice existed in a time much older than yours. Should it have continued in your era? Human sacrifice actually accelerated humanity's understanding of human life sciences."
In this day and age, replicating and modifying human thought, and cloning and altering human genes to create inhuman beings, are synonymous with inhuman research.
However, this alone wouldn't warrant a trial for Davis.
Which politician doesn't have a dirty heart?
Are there not enough studies on inhumane practices in various countries?
The real reason PDC wanted to put Davis on trial was that he wanted to create an alien civilization, namely the New Human Project.
"Then what should we do? Should we stop developing AI? Or can you find a reference template that is more intelligent than humans so that AI technology can continue to develop?" Lin Feng asked.
"Is the current AI intelligence sufficient to cope with future space wars? Imagine our fleet's shipborne AI is like an idiot, unable to hit the enemy, while the Trisolaran fleet is like a sniper firing at targets at close range, easily destroying a human warship with each attack. How can we fight such a war?"
Lin Feng continued to haggle with the representatives from various countries, trying to circumvent their arguments and allow Davis to legally and legitimately carry out the New Human Project.
This is very difficult, after all, these are human elites, but Lin Feng still has to give it a try, what if he succeeds?
The representatives from various countries saw through Lin Feng's thoughts and were too lazy to waste any more words with him. The American representative, with a cold face, brought the matter to the forefront.
"Feng Taylor, you're copying human thought data. Are you really doing this to develop AI? Or are you planning to become the creator of a new kind of humanity?" the American representative asked.
"Of course, it's to become the creator. For highly intelligent AI, we humans are their creators. What I'm saying is for the development of AI."
Lin Feng skillfully steered the conversation back to artificial intelligence.
"Is it for your new human project?" the Indian representative retorted with a sneer.
The Swedish representative said calmly, "Whether you admit it or not, humanity will not support your new human project. That is not human at all, but another species. Your project poses a serious threat to all of humanity."
Having said all that, Lin Feng knew that none of the national representatives would support him, and their attitudes were very firm. No matter how he tried to argue, it would be meaningless.
Lin Feng sighed and asked, "Don't you believe that human thought data also falls under the category of human life information? Why then do you treat robots equipped with replicated thoughts as anomalies instead of considering them as human beings as well?"
"Then let me explain the issue in a way that you can understand," the Russian representative said.
"Fifty years ago, in your time, if someone had taken part of the genes from a human brain and transplanted them into the body of a primate, giving that primate intelligence comparable to that of humans, would humans have considered that primate as human? Should humans at that time have allowed such biological modification?"
Obviously, this is not allowed. Biological experiments on animals are acceptable to human society, but if humans are involved, they will definitely be criticized and condemned.
The Russian representative continued, "If it were today, the same logic would apply to the New Human Project. Moreover, the product of that project would be a civilization, an alien civilization completely different from modern civilization. The solar system is not large enough to accommodate another civilization competing with humanity for resources. Before the Trisolaran fleet arrives, humanity will be forced to expend a large amount of resources to fight a war of civilization destruction with an unknown outcome."
"The New Human Project is a crazy project that could lead to the destruction of humanity. Now you understand? We will absolutely not allow your crazy plan to pass."
“We will not oppose the development of AI, but if you insist on carrying out the new human project unilaterally, humanity will use all its resources to stop you.”
……
After the meeting with PDC ended, Lin Feng was at a loss for words.
Strictly speaking, the PDC's decision wasn't wrong; they didn't want human civilization to be threatened.
If an alien civilization composed of new humans were to compete with human civilization for resources in the solar system, then humanity would have no choice but to wage war against the alien civilization before the Trisolaran fleet arrived in the solar system. Regardless of whether they won or lost, it would be a huge loss for humanity.
As for the goodwill of the new humans, the PDC cannot count on it, because their minds are derived from humans, but their physiology is completely different from humans.
People's joys and sorrows are not shared, let alone their physiological differences from those of normal humans.
This is a chain of suspicion, a chain of suspicion between the PDC and the New Humans. If the New Humans were to be born, Lin Feng estimated that it would be similar.
The PDC is worried that the new humans will destroy the old humans, while the new humans are also worried that the PDC might destroy them out of concern. Then, some people in the PDC might think that the new humans might take action first to protect themselves...
As the nested dolls of a situation accumulate, it becomes complicated and difficult to manage, and may even spiral out of control.
"It's complicated..."
Lin Feng frowned, thinking of a solution, but he couldn't come up with one.
Strengthen communication?
The chasm between people's hearts cannot be easily bridged by simply increasing communication...
……
Lin Feng told Davis about the contents of the meeting.
Although Davis had already guessed the outcome of the meeting, he still showed disappointment.
"Yeah……"
"I have considered having the new humans leave the solar system and colonize other star systems, but that still wouldn't fundamentally solve the PDC's concerns about the new humans," Lin Feng replied with a shrug.
Without addressing PDC's concerns about the New Humans, the New Humans Project cannot gain acceptance.
Lin Feng could tell that the PDC was serious about the New Human Project this time, and it was probably not just them who had this attitude; the three major space fleets also had a similar attitude.
If things go wrong, they could strike with lightning speed and wipe out the entire Taylor Group.
Domon William curled his lip in disdain: "They're less worried about the new humans and more worried about humanity itself; they're afraid of themselves."
“If we can see the new humans as part of civilization, then this defensive barrier will not exist. But we must break down this defensive barrier before humanity can accept the new humans.” Lin Feng scratched his head and muttered to himself, without any clue, “It’s another chicken-and-egg problem.”
“PDC’s concerns are not without merit. Do you think the new humans are trustworthy? They have no blood ties with humans, and apart from the information they think about, they are physiologically very different from humans,” Davis said.
His implication was that he wanted to abandon the plan.
In fact, he himself had such concerns, but he had always insisted on carrying out the plan because it was given to him by Lin Feng.
"It's just racial modification, no big deal. If humanity wants to set foot in the starry sea and stand firm in this boundless galaxy, it must be able to gladly accept the self-modification of its race. At times, this is a life-saving means to continue civilization."
The New Human Project reminded Lin Feng of the Singer and the Two-Dimensional Foil. After completing the low-dimensional survival transformation of their race, they would unscrupulously launch dimensional reduction attacks on the surrounding unfamiliar civilizations.
Compared to this, what is humanity's New Human Project? It's utterly worthless!
If humanity can't even accept this, then the future is certainly bleak.
"A way to save your life?" Davis was taken aback.
Neither Davis nor Domon William understood what Lin Feng was referring to. In their eyes, the greatest danger was nothing more than the Trisolaran fleet that would arrive in the solar system a few centuries later.
"I absolutely support the New Humans project and will definitely push it forward," Lin Feng said firmly to the two.
Domon William looked troubled. "However, the PDC has warned us that if we continue our research on the New Human Project, they will stop us at all costs. In their view, our actions are gambling with human civilization."
"Nate William has taught you to be a little too upright. Now let me teach you a lesson—as long as you're not caught, doing anything isn't illegal," Lin Feng sneered.
"You're planning to..."
Before Domon William could finish speaking, Lin Feng interrupted him.
"Stop, we can't say it. There are some things we can do but not say, and some things we can say but not do."
"Once everything is done, no one will have any objections."
Lin Feng's gaze fell on the circular structure in the distance outside the porthole.
The New Human Project doesn't consume many resources, especially in the space environment. It can be carried out quietly inside a spaceship, so who would know?
Lin Feng took a sip of his coffee, then frowned.
"By the way, the coffee you make is really awful, your skills are terrible."
Chapter 110: No matter how overpowered the aliens are, it's not excessive.
Lin Feng was invited by the Space Force to visit the human fleet.
As a great figure of the past era, Lin Feng naturally inspires humanity to showcase the achievements of the younger generation.
Just like the engineering vessel that Lin Feng boarded, the tonnage of the human warships has also been magnified many times over.
Just by looking at them, Lin Feng knew that these warships were superior to the ones he had before he went into hibernation in terms of weapons, armor, and speed.
Lin Feng stood on the observation spaceship and gradually passed in front of the military formation composed of warships.
These massive warships were like the powerful warriors in Lin Feng's memory; their power didn't need to be explained, it could be felt just by looking at them.
But this level of strength alone is far from enough.
The Trisolarans' power was overwhelming; in their eyes, humanity's powerful warships were no different from those made of paper.
Having mastered the strong interaction material, the entire solar system appears to the Trisolarans as tofu, while Jupiter's core, with its solid metallic hydrogen, is like dried tofu—somewhat hard but not very firm.
After viewing the human warships, as they began to view the industrial fleet, Lin Feng asked one of the generals accompanying him a question.
"What is the highest speed that human spaceships can currently achieve?" Lin Feng asked.
After a moment's thought, the general replied, "Five percent of the speed of light is less than one-tenth the speed of light of the Trisolaran fleet, but I believe that in a few decades, we humans will be able to completely escape the shadow of war that the Trisolarans have cast upon us."
Almost...
Lin Feng's eye twitched slightly. Could this "some" mean a difference as large as a solar system?
"They're using antimatter, we're using nuclear fusion; they're not even on the same level," Lin Feng reminded him.
The general chuckled and shook his head, thinking Lin Feng was just an amateur, and then patiently began to explain.
"Speed is speed, no matter what you use to run, it's still running."
"The form of material utilization does not explain anything. In the Sino-Japanese War, didn't China win against Japan with millet and rifles? On the Korean battlefield, people outran mechanized troops. Going back further in time, sailing ships and gunboats existed for a long time, and the outcome was still decided by boarding combat with cold weapons. Outdated equipment does not necessarily directly determine the outcome of a war."
"I agree with that," Lin Feng thought to himself.
Humanity did ultimately win the war against the Trisolarans, using the Dark Forest Theory as a deterrent.
However, Lin Feng did not want the Space Force to let its guard down. The two thousand soldiers who fought against the droplet had suffered too much. The droplet had not only destroyed human warships, but also humanity's determination to go into space.
"So, if the Trisolaran fleet arrives in the solar system and engages in combat with the human fleet, what form of attack do you think they will employ?" Lin Feng asked.
After a moment's thought, the general gave a rather cautious answer.
"Antimatter bullets, if a very small bullet hits the target, the largest warship in human history will be destroyed."
The antimatter bullet is, based on current intelligence, the most lethal weapon that the Trisolaran fleet is believed to possess.
