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

After eliminating these interference factors, the real results have surfaced!

Yun Tianming!

To be precise, it is a step plan.

Because Sophon's surveillance of humans is absolute, no information, no plan can escape Sophon's eyes.

Therefore, the Ladder Plan must also be known to the Trisolarans.

It is easy to understand if you think about it this way. Compared with understanding human thoughts through ETO, it seems that having a living person is more worthy of their in-depth study. The value of ETO's existence has been completely drained.

As expected, he is the man who won the MVP award in the third part of The Three-Body Problem. Before the Ladder Project even started, he had already almost destroyed the Three-Body Organization.

Perhaps Qin Shihuang hadn't said half a word at that time.

By making himself the leader of ETO, Qin Shihuang could make the Three-Body World and PDC give up their annihilation of ETO. As the second leader of ETO, Qin Shihuang had a strong sense of crisis.

This is also the real reason why he wanted to meet Lin Xuan. The so-called master did not understand the value of ETO, which was just a cover. Everything he did was just for two words: to save his life!

Chapter 30 Just give away the brain!

Just as Lin Xuan went to Three-Body Game to participate in the ETO's full-staff meeting, another meeting was also taking place simultaneously.

Inside the PIA building, Vader sat at a conference table, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface.

"Well, Cheng, please repeat the entire process of the Ladder Plan to everyone again."

Cheng Xin, who was sitting across the conference table, felt frightened by Wade's ferocious gaze. Even though she had been working at PIA for so long, she was still not used to looking Wade in the eye. It made her feel like she was a prey being stared at by a lion.

Cheng Xin handed the copied plan to Vadim, who took it and distributed it to everyone.

"This is the final revised version of the PDC plan. They have approved the feasibility of this plan. In short, we want to launch a probe with humans as carriers to the Trisolaran fleet four light years away. The speed of this probe must reach 4% of the speed of light, so the mass can only be reduced again and again. In the final design, the mass that the probe can carry can only accommodate a human brain."

"Then we will send this probe containing the human brain into space, and use the explosive thrust of the nuclear bomb to push the radiation sail on the probe, successfully accelerating it layer by layer, and finally achieving a flight speed of one percent of the speed of light."

"Because the acceleration process of this plan is very similar to climbing stairs, we unanimously decided to name it the Ladder Plan."

When the previous versions of the ladder plan were formulated, at least one-third of the people present were participants, but now that the plan has been thoroughly approved by the PDC, it must be informed and explained to all members of the PIA department.

Cheng Xin even prepared many PPT presentations overnight, but they were all rejected by Wade.

According to Vader's original words.

"We just need to inform them, not to adopt other people's opinions, so your responsibility is just to explain it to them, whether they understand it or not is irrelevant."

Cheng Xin has gotten used to this. Her director has taken the term "use any means necessary" to the extreme. Thomas Wade will ignore anything that does not affect his overall plan.

Cheng Xin even sometimes felt that if the leader of PIA was replaced by Deputy Director Yu Weimin, perhaps there would be more honest and loyal people like Vadim in the entire PIA.

If Wade knew what Cheng Xin was thinking, he would definitely sneer at her kindness.

PIA is the intelligence collection and processing department of the PDC. This is a war against the Trisolarans. If the entire PIA is made up of honest people like Vadim, they might as well surrender to the Trisolarans directly.

"What we need to discuss now is who should carry out the Ladder Project, because the ultimate goal of this project is to send a human brain into space, so the person who is involved in the plan must be killed beforehand."

Wade said this in the coldest tone, and Cheng Xin felt goose bumps all over her body.

She felt that she would not be able to make such a decision. After all, letting someone die seemed too unfair to that person.

This was simply too cruel. Cheng Xin could not imagine that the brain that preserved a human's emotional consciousness would wander alone for several light years in the icy space at an ultra-low temperature of minus 200 degrees Celsius. But this was not his final destination.

It will eventually be captured by the Trisolarans and then subjected to various studies.

After all, no one knows what kind of cruel torture a human brain will suffer if it is really captured by the Trisolarans.

"Regarding the candidate issue, I have already submitted an application to the PDC to pass the Euthanasia Bill, hoping that the PDC can intervene and advocate for this plan. Unfortunately, in the end, only three countries agreed to this proposal and began to implement this euthanasia clause in their own countries, so we can only choose candidates from these three countries."

Wade was like the narrator of a game. After explaining to everyone, he kicked the table in front of him and placed himself out of the meeting.

He will not participate in any discussion in the following part.

In the end, it was PIA’s Huaxia Deputy Director Yu Weimin who broke the silence first.

"We can first imagine what kind of person the candidate for this plan would be. First, he must be a patient, or someone who agrees to euthanasia. Second, he must have some knowledge of aerospace. We can't send a fool up there. Third, he must be loyal enough to human society."

"Fourth, he must be a loner, preferably someone who cannot integrate into human society."

This sentence was added by Wade at the side. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone present turned their eyes to him.

"why?"

This is the question asked by Cheng Xin.

She could understand the first three conditions, but Cheng Xin couldn't understand why the fourth condition was necessary.

"The reason is simple."

Vader pulled his body back toward the table.

"We need this person to enter a world full of aliens. If he is a person who can integrate well into human society, he will soon have a mental breakdown if he loses the emotional support of the human world after entering the Trisolaran world. So it is best if this person has a withdrawn personality and does not interact with others for a long time."

Speaking of this, a figure suddenly emerged in Cheng Xin's mind.

The sky is bright.

Cheng Xin met Yun Tianming in her freshman year. In Cheng Xin's eyes, Yun Tianming was always so aloof and he seemed unable to integrate with the people around him.

Cheng Xin had come into contact with some eccentric people before, but compared with Yun Tianming, they could even be called sunny. Yun Tianming was like an icy grave. Anyone who approached him would be overwhelmed by his eccentric personality.

Cheng Xin was more concerned about Yun Tianming. During her undergraduate years, she gave Yun Tianming a little warmth, but to put it bluntly, this kind of giving was more like alms from the strong to the weak.

The type of boy Cheng Xin likes is a sunny type, and Yun Tianming is just the opposite of that type of person. So whenever Cheng Xin comes into contact with Yun Tianming, she is always very careful, for fear of hurting his fragile heart.

But Yun Tianming is a healthy man.

There was no way he could become a participant in the Ladder Plan. No, Cheng Xin felt it was too cruel for anyone to participate in this plan.

She hoped that Wade would not give her the right to choose the candidate in the end, otherwise she would live with that guilt for many years.

The meeting ultimately failed to decide who would participate in the plan.

But this is not a big deal. After all, it will take a long time to complete the preliminary arrangements for the Ladder Project, perhaps half a year, or perhaps several months. Their next focus will be on the Cape Caravelle Space Base.

……

Yun Tianming woke up from his chair. Although Lin Xuan had optimized the composition ratio of the sleeping pills, the long period of deep sleep still made him feel a little dizzy.

"How about it?"

Wang Miao, who was standing by, was recording the experimental data with an instrument while handing over a box of instant noodles.

"In the thirty-fifth attempt, humans created a bacterial weapon, which was used to kill each other and ended in failure a year later."

Yun Tianming took the instant noodles and started eating them in big mouthfuls. After his brain made a lot of calculations, his body showed obvious signs of hunger.

Just as Lin Xuan had envisioned at the beginning, he wanted to use this database to simulate the final results of human development of different technology trees under different circumstances.

However, due to the limited computing power of Yun Tianming's brain, the number of opponents he could simulate in Mewtwo was less than twenty.

Watching it on the computer, Wang Miao felt that what he had created was more like playing an FPS shooting game.

There is no way to show a war between civilizations.

Fortunately, the loading process of Lin Xuan's machine is quite clever. As long as the processed data is stored in that huge database, it can be directly retrieved when needed, saving a lot of loading computing power in the brain.

Yun Tianming first expanded the map of the Mewtwo world. It took him about three days to expand the battlefield from Jinghang's playground to half of Kyoto. Then he spent another day or so to build a human model to participate in the experiment.

"The face-pinching process is too complicated. You don't need to be so detailed. This is not a game. Just make a human figure. It's best to choose the person you are most familiar with."

After Wang Miao completed the preliminary design of the space elevator these days, he was transferred here by Lin Xuan to be responsible for Yun Tianming's auxiliary work.

Sometimes he would have nothing to do and enter the Mewtwo space, using his brain power to provide some new data models for the database.

"it is good."

Yun Tianming agreed and began to create a human model for the experiment.

After sitting in front of the computer and watching for a while, Wang Miao suddenly felt something was wrong.

"No, buddy, what the hell do you mean? I asked you to build a familiar human model, but you built me ​​into it. What do you want to do?"

On the playground, twenty Wang Miao were lined up in an orderly manner. They had dull expressions and looked like a group of emotionless robots.

Upon hearing this, Yun Tianming had no choice but to modify the construction of the character model. However, after working on it for a long time, the Mewtwo database kept showing errors.

"Um...I don't have anyone I know."

Yun Tianming felt a little embarrassed. He really wanted to create a familiar person, but after searching through his memories for a long time, he couldn't find a single acquaintance.

"Don't you have any friends?"

"No."

"Where are the parents?"

"We're divorced, and I don't see them much."

"What about your partner? You must have a girlfriend, right?"

"We broke up. We only dated twice. I can't even remember what they looked like."

Yun Tianming's few words shocked Wang Miao for the whole day.

Damn it, this guy is really weird. The most familiar person in his life is actually himself, whom he has only seen for less than half a month.

"Okay, okay, just use me to build it."

Wang Miao had no choice but to resist the urge to punch Yun Tianming and watch a bunch of images of himself typing on the computer.

It’s all Lin Xuan’s fault. Damn it. After this matter is over, I want him to compensate me three times my salary as compensation for mental damage.

"Wang Miao's shock value +25."

Chapter 31 Knowledge Units: Shi Qiang

In the early stages of the Super Dream Project, there was only one mission, which was to add more models to the data. Any model would be fine. The more models there were, the more accurate the subsequent deduction process would be.

Yun Tianming is definitely the most suitable candidate for the Super Dream Project. His imagination is at least ten times that of a normal person, which is of great help in the early construction of the basic model of the database.

As long as he is not asked to imagine the data models of the people around him, he does quite well in other objects.

After Wang Miao reported this matter to Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan was actually a little surprised. He thought that with Yun Tianming's dog-licking characteristics, the only human model that could be constructed would be Cheng Xin.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Xuan could understand it.

The last time Yun Tianming saw Cheng Xin was after he graduated from college. Cheng Xin had been working on her master's and doctoral studies for at least seven years, and then she was transferred to work at PIA. It had been at least ten years since they had seen each other.

It may be a question whether Yun Tianming still remembers what Cheng Xin looks like.

To take a step back, even if Yun Tianming really remembered what Cheng Xin looked like, he would not allow Cheng Xin's appearance to be used as the subject of this experiment.

"At this rate, it will only take about half a year for us to complete the construction of the basic structure of Mewtwo World."

Wang Miao did a detailed data calculation and listed all the relevant models needed to build the Super Dream World.

There are a total of 184,723 basic models that need to be added to the database, including more than 90,000 models of natural environment such as topography, environmental weather, tides and sunsets, birds and animals, and the rest are some industrial manufacturing products, such as cars, ships, airplanes, cannons, etc.

Wang Miao actually wanted Yun Tianming to try to copy the particle collider into the Mewtwo world, but in order to build a complete model in the database, the human brain needs to have at least a basic understanding of such a thing.

This is also the important reason why Yun Tianming is unable to build a human model in the Mewtwo world.

Because he didn't understand at all. If he forced the construction, either the database would report an error, or the human model he made would be like the one he built for Wang Miao, looking stupid and dull, no different from a robot.

Therefore, Yun Tianming’s daily work not only requires building database models in the Mewtwo world, but also requires him to constantly learn new knowledge.

From clinical medicine to automated manufacturing, from microbiology to art appreciation, his scope of knowledge is so broad that even Cheng Xin cannot compare with him.

In order to speed up Yun Tianming's learning, Lin Xuan even asked Hines for two consciousness extractors.

Then an application was submitted to the PDC, and several masters in these fields were sent over. Their professional knowledge was first extracted into the database, and then downloaded into Yun Tianming's brain through the database.

Why not just go to the doctor?

Because it is not used at all, Yun Tianming only needs to simply understand the basic principles and structures of some things. Too complicated knowledge will not only greatly increase the transmission time, but also may put too much load on Yun Tianming's consciousness, so a master's degree is enough.

Even for some majors that were too similar, Lin Xuan only found a few undergraduates to do the consciousness extraction work.

For example, artificial intelligence technology, Internet of Things technology, and communication engineering technology, the content learned in these three majors is almost the same, but the emphasis is different. In order to save more time, Lin Xuan chose to extract only the non-repetitive knowledge.

Lin Xuan made an attempt to extract the relevant professional knowledge from a complete master's degree brain, which took about 13 hours.

It takes 8 hours to transfer this knowledge into Yun Tianming's brain so that he can absorb and understand it.

If the extraction object is changed to undergraduate students, it only takes about 3 hours, which increases the speed by about ten hours.
