The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Unfortunately, all of this is built on sacrifice; saving one person means killing another.

Don't give Lin Feng any of that nonsense about humans turning into beasts not being human. According to that kind of illogical logic, vegetative state patients should be kicked out of the hospital. There's no need to treat them at all, because they're not human either.

And those elderly people with dementia, who often experience intermittent memory loss and even forget who they are, don't need to be cared for either, because they can't really be considered human beings.

During the meeting, the Swedish representative focused his attention on Lin Feng's 3D projection.

“Wallfacer Feng Taylor, you have no right to stand on the moral high ground to criticize us. The medical resources used to treat your body were obtained from the free-range area.”

"Without the humans in the free-range area providing you with everything you need for treatment, you would still be a hibernating living dead."

Lin Feng was not swayed by the Swedish representative's words, something he had already learned from Dormon William's intelligence.

Lin Feng's holographic projection focused on the Swedish representative and asked, "I know these things, but is there an inherent conflict between these things and my criticism of you? Are the things that happened in the free-range area truly inhumane?"

No matter the purpose, inhumanity is inhumanity, and that cannot be whitewashed.

Lin Feng was well aware of this, and the representatives from various countries in the PDC were naturally very clear about it as well.

However, Lin Feng's direct pointing out of them still made the representatives of various countries look rather unpleasant, somewhat like someone caught doing something wrong and becoming angry and embarrassed.

The Dutch representative stated, "It is impossible for the free-range areas to stop supplying medical resources. Every year, people around the world rely on these medical resources to save their lives. Feng Taylor, your demand that the free-range areas stop supplying medical resources is murder in another sense."

"Feng Taylor, do you think human life is less important than that of wild animals?"

Lin Feng turned his gaze to the Dutch representative, looking at him with disbelief.

"They'll turn into beasts because of you, won't they? How dare you talk to me about 'human life being more important than beasts'? You're the ones who are responsible for turning them into beasts. By that logic, if I beat someone into an idiot with a stick and then shoot him, it wouldn't count as murder?"

Noticing the many eyes on him during the meeting, the Dutch representative coughed awkwardly and shut his mouth.

“Watch your words, Wallfacer Feng Taylor. The decision to turn humans into beasts was not ours,” the Japanese representative said.

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Truly as expected of Japan, shameless old rhetoric. Just because it wasn't your generation that made the decision, you don't have to bear historical responsibility? The Nanjing Massacre in China, Japan can pretend it never happened, right? The German government also pretended it never happened and turned a blind eye to the Holocaust? Was the Warsaw Pact just a pointless kneeling?"

The representatives from Japan and Germany both looked extremely grim.

Meanwhile, the gazes of other delegates at the meeting made them feel threatened, especially the Japanese delegates, who felt the most uncomfortable.

Some things cannot be washed away by time.

The argument between Lin Feng and PDC lasted for more than an hour, and the noise of the meeting finally subsided with the sound of the chairperson's gavel.

The rotating chairman's gaze fell on Lin Feng's 3D projection.

“Wallfacer Feng Taylor, the incident you pointed out does indeed involve serious human rights violations, which, even by the values ​​of your time, are extremely immoral acts.”

"But now, humans need wild-like humans in the free-range areas to provide medical resources. If you can provide a solution to the problem of human medical resources, the PDC will vote on your proposal to 'stop the provision of medical resources by humans in the free-range areas'."

This can be considered a concession by the PDC, with the rotating chair directly laying out the demands of various countries.

All countries have tangible benefits from the free-range areas; these are direct benefits. If countries cut off the medical resources in these free-range areas, what will happen to the patients in their own countries who could have been cured? Are these representatives forced to watch their citizens die or suffer unbearable pain instead of being cured?

This is clearly not going to work. If we want to cut off the supply of medical resources to the free-range areas, we need to find a substitute first.

Lin Feng smiled and replied, "I propose to lift the restrictions on cloning and allow a research team I have assembled to conduct legitimate research on cloning technology."

What he was waiting for was for the PDC to ask him to provide an alternative method so that the medical supplies for humans in the free-range areas would no longer be used as wild animals. Cloning technology was the solution he had in mind from the beginning.

"Cloning? Replacing those beastly humans with clones? Isn't that the same thing? Cloned humans are actually more expensive."

"Wallfacer Feng Taylor, I cannot understand your thinking. To solve one problem of moral decay, you have to do another morally decaying thing? What's the point of doing that?"

Representatives from various countries discussed the matter animatedly. Many of them did not believe that Lin Feng could actually meet their demands and provide a solution.

Even if there were technology that could cure patients' diseases, it wouldn't necessarily be comparable to the medical resources provided by humans who are treated like wild beasts.

For example, if a heart patient needs a heart transplant, is a bionic artificial heart better, or is a heart that is also from a living person better?

The latter is the obvious choice. What if the artificial heart breaks down? And we also have to consider the issue of rejection by the body. The probability of such a problem occurring when using a living person's heart is extremely small.

However, to the surprise of the representatives from various countries, Lin Feng actually proposed cloning to them.

Many representatives from various countries found Lin Feng ridiculous, arguing that cloning also violates the bottom line of human morality and is similar in nature to their use of medical resources that treat humans like wild animals.

To solve one problem of moral decay, you have to do another morally decaying thing? It's utterly ridiculous.

Lin Feng remained unmoved by the sarcasm from the representatives of various countries, and he replied...

"The significance lies in the fact that cloning can elevate medical technology to a higher level."

"From a rational perspective, how long would it take for a wild, animalistic human in a free-range environment to grow into adulthood? Twenty years, right?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's questions, the representatives from various countries fell silent. They were naturally aware of what Lin Feng was talking about: in the free-range area, it takes eighteen years to cultivate a normal human heart, and the same goes for other organs and tissues.

After all, you can't exactly perform surgery on organs and tissues from adolescents, can you? These organs and tissues aren't fully developed yet.

Lin Feng continued, "Although the wild-like humans in the free-range areas can meet the current medical needs of the Earth's population, medical problems will still arise as the population increases. At that time, you will need more free-range areas to raise more wild-like humans, and you will need to raise them on a large scale. You have all thought about this issue, right?"

"You can keep it a secret now because it's small, but what will you do when it grows bigger and you can no longer hide it? How will you face the human race then?"

Human reproduction did not decrease much due to the Trisolaran crisis. With the intervention of Lin Feng as a variable and his long-term plans to influence the population, the Earth's population has continued to rise.

With superior living conditions, low-stress jobs, immigration policies of space cities, and promises from various countries to encourage childbirth, the world's population has increased fivefold in fifty years, reaching over 35 billion, including major space cities.

At this point, Lin Feng suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh, right, you can shift the blame to me. After all, I was the one who first proposed this plan. If we're talking about who's most guilty, it's definitely me. I'll take all the blame."

“You bear no responsibility at all, because when you were in high positions, beastly humans already existed. The fault lies with your morally corrupt predecessors, not with you, the descendants who enjoy their legacy.”

Sometimes, knowing something in your heart is one thing, but saying it out loud is another. When Lin Feng made things clear, the meaning of the situation naturally changed.

The rotating chairman struck the gavel again, interrupting Lin Feng's speech.

“Wallfacer Feng Taylor, please stop these unfounded accusations and let’s get back to the topic of ‘cloning’,” the rotating chairman said.

This is both a reminder and a warning.

"Sorry, I got so engrossed in talking that I went off-topic," Lin Feng chuckled.

Lin Feng continued, "We just mentioned that the human growth cycle is very long. It takes at least twenty years for a human to reach adulthood. Of course, we can push the time forward by two years, to eighteen years old."

"But so what? It still takes nearly twenty years to get a healthy organ or tissue."

"Cloning can theoretically solve these problems, including ethical ones."

"Cloning a human being might be morally unacceptable, but what if we just clone an organ without any thought? And the cells are derived from the patient himself. Logically speaking, it's just like the patient growing an extra organ. Furthermore, if cloning technology is advanced enough, we can accelerate organ maturation through catalysis, and the problem of the growth cycle can also be solved."

Lin Feng glanced at the representatives from various countries who were deep in thought, and then continued.

"In any case, they are more reliable than humans in free-range areas, aren't they? If the cloned genes come from the patient's own body, there is no possibility of rejection after transplantation."

Even when obtaining organs, tissues, and other medical resources from humans who have become like wild beasts, it doesn't mean that rejection reactions can be completely eliminated; it just means that rejection reactions are very low.

Chapter 118 Profits and Risks Coexist

Lin Feng eventually persuaded the PDC to grant permission for cloning. The research team he appointed could legally and legitimately conduct any cloning experiments or research on human genes.

This represents a significant decentralization.

Governments around the world have always maintained a vigilant attitude towards cloning.

Although they themselves may conduct research on cloning to some extent, they absolutely do not allow such things to be brought to the forefront or openly permitted to be cloned.

Lin Feng's situation can be described as groundbreaking and unique.

Of course, the PDC's willingness to compromise stems more from the issue of the beast-like humans. Compared to half a century ago, their moral standards have been significantly lowered due to these beast-like humans.

Lin Feng could already imagine that after the PDC countries jointly issued a statement, there would probably be another wave of public criticism against him, and there might even be baseless accusations that he was conducting some kind of human-animal hybridization experiment.

However, these were not things to worry about. Lin Feng, who was used to his notorious reputation, only cared about whether he had achieved his goal.

Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, admiring the surface of Jupiter outside the window. He was in an incredibly good mood.

The projector was turned on, and a 3D image of Domon William appeared next to Lin Feng.

“I can finally understand why my grandfather respected you so much.”

Domon William's holographic image looked at Lin Feng with immense admiration. Having learned about the content of Lin Feng's meeting with PDC from the intelligence network, he immediately doubted whether the information he had was fabricated.

Those bigwigs at PDC were actually criticized like a bunch of grandsons? And in the end, they even compromised? Domon William felt his worldview had been completely shattered.

It's not that no one has criticized the practice of free-range grazing in the past, but the end result has always been the same: they disappear.

Suddenly they vanished without a trace, and their relatives and friends searched everywhere for them but couldn't find them. Even when the police accepted the case, they would only treat it as an unsolved case.

"What?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

Domon William explained, "It's not like no one has ever brought up the issue of free-range areas with the PDC before, and they all ended up in bad shape."

Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively.

"No, you've got it wrong. I went to PDC not for the issue of the free-range area. The issue of the free-range area will be completely resolved after the future battle between the human fleet and the Trisolaran fleet has concluded."

Lin Feng knew that he was powerless to deal with the beast-like humans in the free-range area. The human collective was the beneficiary, and the majority was justice—an unchanging truth of this world.

Domon William was taken aback, his face showing surprise. The information he obtained from the intelligence network was one-sided, and he had not expected that Lin Feng had other purposes.

Domon William frowned and pondered for a moment before tentatively guessing.

"If it's not for those beast-like humans in the free-range area, then it's for... cloning?"

After much thought, this was the only answer Domon William could come up with: aside from mentioning the bestialized humans in the free-range areas, the only other topic discussed during the entire meeting was cloning.

Lin Feng didn't answer him, but simply swirled the coffee in his hand before downing it in one gulp.

"Human beings have flexible moral standards, which I have always known. In addition to decaying matter, time can also decay morality."

Lin Feng gazed at Jupiter outside the window and murmured to himself.

A moment later, Lin Feng suddenly asked.

"William, how's the matter I arranged for you going?"

Domon William replied, "A dedicated development team will arrive on Earth in a week. They will use a binary computer in orbit to connect to the Internet and develop a viral destructive program to completely remove the Killer virus from the Earth's Internet."

Lin Feng looked at the 3D image of Domon William beside him with a puzzled expression and asked in return.

"With the small number of people you sent? None of the countries have solved the Killer virus problem, have they?"

Domon William shook his head slightly and replied, "The people I sent out are only playing a leading role. After they reach Earth orbit, they will hire programmers on Earth to expand the team's size. Moreover, we will not only solve the problem from the information level, but also from the material level."

“It’s not that countries can’t solve the Killer virus; their problems come from within. There are always people who want to use the Killer virus to eliminate dissidents. After all, this method of killing is very covert; no one knows who did it,” Domon William explained.

"So the people you send out can handle it? Won't they be obstructed?" Lin Feng asked.
