Let you be the wall-facer: you turn around and join the Three-Body Problem?

Shi Qiang probably noticed Cheng Xin at the time. Although Lin Xuan didn't say anything, he still asked PDC to keep a copy of Cheng Xin's doctoral student information.

"As expected, Shi Qiang is the best assistant in the Three-Body World. He is really amazing. He was able to arrange the next tasks for me so early. This kind of insight may not be achieved by others."

Soon, the two of them went to the archives room under the leadership of Zhao Kaiming.

At this time, Yun Tianming behind him was so shocked that he was speechless.

No wonder he said why this person looked so familiar. When he met him for the first time just now, Yun Tianming felt as if he had seen him somewhere, but definitely not in reality.

Now, he finally figured it out.

The fifth wall-facer is Lin Xuan.

Yun Tianming didn't have many friends. After his father got divorced, he and his sister were the only ones left at home. So during his time in the hospital, he spent his time watching the news.

Yun Tianming naturally knew about the Wallfacer plan from a year ago. He was also wondering at the time why there were two Chinese among the five Wallfacers.

And Lin Xuan is one of the two Chinese wall-facers.

Shock value from Yun Tianming +15.

In fact, there was another reason why Yun Tianming failed to recognize Lin Xuan. Just as Cheng Xin could not guess who gave her the star, Yun Tianming had never thought that there would be a day when a wall-facer would come to pick him up in person at the airport.

Ever since the start of the Wallfacing Project, PDC has been intentionally or unintentionally portraying the invincible image of the Wallfacer for the public in some film and television works. Therefore, the public has always firmly believed in the power of the Wallfacer. Just look at Taylor. Even though he now only stays in the Garden of Eden fishing all day, the public still worships him as a god and regards everything he does as part of the plan.

This reasonably explains why Yun Tianming has not been able to recognize Lin Xuan. He couldn't even imagine that the person next to him would be a wall-facer.

But in this way, Yun Tianming felt much more at ease.

Cheng Xin is able to meet a wall-facing person as a friend, I believe she must be living a good life now.

Cheng Xin's seven years as a graduate student were quite dull.

The files show that after graduating from college, Cheng Xin has stayed at Beihang University and continued to work as a master's student on aerospace topics.

After three years of master's career, Cheng Xin finally completed her master's studies with a terrifying number of papers published, including 5 SCI (Science Citation Index) and 15 CSCD (CSCD).

But at the same time, this also drained away her last bit of enthusiasm for aerospace work.

After coming to the Eighth Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics to study for a doctorate, Cheng Xin no longer focused on traditional aerospace research, but continued to expand her professional field. During this period, she became fascinated by nuclear energy research.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Kaiming was deeply impressed by this girl.

"My evaluation of her at the time was that it was a pity. If she had focused all her energy on the research of aerospace engines during the five years she was studying for her doctorate, she would at least be the youngest Yangtze River Scholar in the aerospace field in China now."

Scientific researchers are also divided into different levels. Doctors are generally at the lowest level. Above them, there are Qingqian, Qianren, and Changjiang. Even Zhao Kaiming, who has become an academician, did not have the talent that Cheng Xin had at her age.

"But everything changed after the Trisolarans showed up. I'm really glad that Cheng Xin didn't listen to me. When she graduated with her doctorate, she only submitted the minimum number of papers required for graduation. But after she entered PIA a year ago, we learned that she had spent almost five years focusing on nuclear energy research."

"Chemical rockets are like the chimneys of the Industrial Revolution. Poets praised them, thinking that was industrial civilization. Now they still praise chemical rockets, thinking that they represent the space age. But in fact, these rockets may not even survive to the space age."

These are Cheng Xin’s original words, and also her motto in her determination to research new rocket engines.

"By the way, you should have heard about the recently developed aerospace plane. Cheng Xin was one of the early designers of the aerospace plane. Later, she was transferred to PIA, and the project was handed over to other people."

After coming out of the Eighth Institute of Aviation, a sentence of Zhao Kaiming kept appearing in Yun Tianming’s mind.

"Cheng Xin is a good girl. She is definitely first-rate in scientific research, but she is very dull in dealing with emotions. She is kind to everyone and treats everything with compassion. This kind of personality would be fine in peacetime, but in the context of the Three-Body Invasion, Cheng Xin's future will be very difficult."

Yun Tianming carefully pondered Zhao Kaiming's words, and suddenly, a fire burned in his heart.

This flame echoes the sun in his heart.

He knew what he should do. He couldn't just die like this, in such a meaningless way.

Lin Xuan didn't know at this time that he originally wanted Yun Tianming to give up his love for Cheng Xin and completely give up on this idea.

However, because of Zhao Kaiming's final words, the outcome of the matter developed in another direction.

"Are you satisfied?"

Lin Xuan switched the car to automatic driving and poured herself a cup of hot tea.

"This is what Cheng Xin has been through since you two separated. She is now a person from two completely different worlds from you."

Lin Xuan stretched out her hand and gestured.

"The gap between you is even greater than the distance between the Trisolaran fleet and Earth."

"Thank you."

Yun Tianming thanked Lin Xuan.

He knew that if it weren't for the help of this wall-facer, he might have been stopped by the security guard at the door when he first entered the Eighth Institute of Aerospace.

Although he didn't meet Cheng Xin in person, he was already satisfied. He was able to do such a meaningful thing at the end of his life, which could be regarded as an account of his first half of life.

"Don't be too depressed."

Lin Xuan handed Yun Tianming a cup of hot tea.

"I told you I would take you to see her."

"When?"

Yun Tianming no longer had much interest in meeting Cheng Xin at this time. Just as Lin Xuan said, she and Cheng Xin now belonged to two different worlds, both physically and spiritually.

He will only have a year to live with his lung cancer at most. After a year, his body will be cremated and turned into a pile of powder like an ordinary person.

"I don't know, maybe half a year, maybe a year, but believe me, you will see her, and she will come to you on her own initiative."

When Lin Xuan said this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he showed a smile exactly the same as Thomas Wade's.

But only he himself knew what a cruel plan was hidden behind this smile.

"Give him more hope before giving him the final despair."

This was a consensus reached by Lin Xuan and Thomas Wade during their phone call.

Lin Xuan was driving the Maybach and suddenly remembered another story.

A rainy night, an elevated road, a speeding Maybach, the protagonist of the story is just like Yun Tianming, a complete loser, and I am like the devil beside him. I know what will happen next, but I have to watch him walk towards the abyss step by step.

"Would you like to exchange a quarter of your life?"

Lin Xuan really wanted to ask Yun Tianming this question, but in the end he held back.

Finally, the two boarded a plane to the Red Coast Third Base at Hongqiao Airport.

As a wall-facer, it is easy for Lin Xuan to transfer a patient away.

He applied to the PDC for a proposal to take Yun Tianming away, on the grounds that he needed Yun Tianming's assistance in his plan.

The PDC quickly approved it and sent a notification letter to Yun Tianming's family, including his father and his sister who had always wanted Yun Tianming to die.

The PDC originally wanted to directly issue a death certificate to Yun Tianming, after all, this was the easiest way, but Lin Xuan rejected this plan. He emphasized that Yun Tianming must be kept alive and his information on advanced lung cancer must be recorded in the database.

Chapter 26 Life is not easy, Taylor performs

"So, that's what happened?"

Three days later, in the Garden of Eden.

Next to Taylor, there was a young man fishing with him.

"Yes, I have some guesses about Hines' plan, but I still need him to complete something for me, so it is not time to reveal the answer yet." Lin Xuan said.

Taylor was a little shocked when he heard this.

"So fast?"

+15 for the shock value from Taylor.

Taylor knew what Lin Xuan meant. He had already broken the wall with Hines, but for some reason, Lin Xuan had not yet revealed Hines' true plan to everyone.

"This guy is really scary."

Taylor thought to himself.

The Wallfacer Project has only been launched for less than a year, and Lin Xuan has already broken the walls of two wallfacers. No... According to the order, Hines is the third wallfacer. Maybe Diaz's plan has also been discovered by this guy.

The thought of this made Taylor even more shocked.

If all this is true, then the Wallfacing Plan can now be declared a basic failure. Except for Luo Ji, the plans of the other three wallfacers have all been deciphered by Lin Xuan.

What he didn't know was that Lin Xuan actually knew even Luo Ji's plan.

The reason why Lin Xuan didn't say it was that she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Chieko is still watching him. Luo Ji's plan to face the wall is a reverse plan. The fewer people who know about it, the less danger there is.

If she said that she had guessed Luo Ji's plan, the Trisolarans would probably spare no effort to hunt down Lin Xuan.

After all, he knew the existence of the Dark Forest Law, which was definitely ten times more threatening than Luo Ji knew the Dark Forest Law.

But Taylor suddenly came to his senses.

"That's not right. Hines is useful to you, so you didn't choose to break his wall. Does that mean I'm useless?"

Taylor was Lin Xuan's first wall-facer to complete the process of breaking the wall, and it was so fast that it took less than a month, which made him very depressed.

I haven't even started anything yet and it's already over.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, he couldn’t say that you were the first person to have your wall broken in the original plot. I’m afraid it’s too late to say it and it won’t be broken.

"The main reason is that your plan is too crazy. Once a large amount of resources are spent on such a plan, it is very likely that the PDC's restrictions on Wallfacers will come earlier than expected. It's not like you didn't attend the Wallfacer hearing last time. The attitude of your country's representatives clearly showed that you have simply regarded the Wallfacers as a tool."

"That's true." Taylor let out a long breath.

"Actually, I'm quite grateful to you. At least giving up my identity as a wallfacer is a relief. A few days ago, I applied to the PDC to bring my family over to live with me. When I was the Minister of Defense, I was always busy with work and had no time to spend time with them. Lin, this is all thanks to you."

Lin Xuan's mouth twitched when she heard that.

"Don't learn Chinese from Luo Ji anymore. This word doesn't have a good meaning. You should say 'Thank you for being here'."

Taylor shook his head.

"No, that's exactly what I mean. Ever since I came here, I found that I was actually looking forward to your next move. I was looking forward to who you would break the wall with next. But now you tell me that you won't break the wall because they are still valuable to you. This is really hurtful."

Taylor handed a bottle of soju to Lin Xuan.

"Sai came here once before. She brought this wine. Since she was relieved of her duties as the rotating chairperson of the PDC, she looked much more relaxed. I asked her why she was so relaxed. The threat from the Three-Body World is still hanging over our heads like the sword of Damocles. Guess what she said?"

"She said, we have done what we can, and we don't seek success, but we just want to have a clear conscience."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"That's great. No wonder I noticed that your mental state was much better this time. I was planning to let you try out the new gadget I made."

Taylor took a big sip of soju. The spicy feeling made him frown immediately, but this stimulation made him feel like he was back to the days when he first joined the army.

"Alright, you actually built it. I thought the PDC wouldn't agree to you spending so many resources to build a database."

"The PDC's contraction of the Wallfacers' rights is faster than I thought. As far as I know, they no longer allow Rey Diaz to continue conducting hydrogen bomb experiments on Earth. Before the space elevator technology is completed, Rey Diaz can only perform data deduction of explosion models."

Lin Xuan actually doesn't know how to fish, but Taylor still got him some fishing gear so that he could accompany him to appreciate the beautiful scenery here.

"As you can see, human resources are limited. Even if the final controlled nuclear fusion technology is completed, it will take about several decades to realize the engineering of converting other types of energy."

"By then, everything will have to change. Airplanes, cars, ships, and all mechanical tools that consume huge amounts of energy will have to be completely overturned and redesigned to match the converted energy."

Taylor stated a fact.

"And humans adapting to this new technology and transforming their industrial system will also consume a lot of resources."

This is actually a precursor to the subsequent "big low" era.

In the original plot, in order to create more space forces and defense facilities in Earth orbit, humans have massively destroyed the environment of the Earth itself, causing severe desertification of the land and leaving no place to grow food.

After all, the biggest problem facing mankind is the Trisolaran fleet. Protecting the environment is useless in their view. Even if you protect the Earth so well, won't you still give it to the Trisolarans in the end?

Even in the end, anyone who proposed the idea of ​​protecting the environment would be labeled a traitor to the ETO, and the political situation was quite tense.

The direct consequence of this was that people almost starved to death before the space force was established.

People call this period of history the "Great Low".

Taylor is worthy of being a Wallfacer. He had already predicted the situation that mankind would face in the future several years in advance.

"Yes, I will be responsible for following up on this matter, so the speed will not be too slow. Including the space elevator project, Wang Miao has submitted more than a dozen feasibility plans to the PDC. After next year, the construction of the space elevator should begin."

Lin Xuan finally gave up the idea of ​​fishing. His fishing rod seemed to have reached into a dark universe, and after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

"What are you going to do?"

This is what Lin Xuan is asking Taylor, because in the original plot Taylor had already shot himself at this time, so Lin Xuan didn't know what this guy would do if he were alive.
