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

"Well, these two are traveling around the world now, and occasionally they send me some photos they took... How should I put it? My current situation is exactly like the kind of old people that you Chinese describe as having children who don't come home often."

“Empty nesters?”

"Yes, yes, that's the word."

Taylor smiled.

"But it doesn't matter. I like my current life. I am free from worries and don't need to worry about the Wallfacers and the Trisolarans. After all, I feel you are quite reliable with me."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"You're just making excuses for your own poor performance."

Taylor shook his head.

"No, no, no, Mr. Lin Xuan, I really have the utmost respect for you, because you are the only one who has broken the wall for me twice."

"twice?"

Lin Xuan was puzzled. Hadn't she only broken Taylor's barrier once?

Taylor stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.

Lin Xuan immediately understood what he meant and exchanged a disposable intelligent blind spot barrier device from the system interface.

Just like when he talked with Zhang Beihai, once this device is activated, Zhizi will not be able to detect any information inside, but the time is limited and it can only be used once.

Lin Xuan activated the device, and a blue barrier enveloped the two of them. Taylor then spoke.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, I have to say that you are a genius. I actually had two wall-facing plans, but you broke through them both."

"My original plan was not to use ball lightning to attack the space forces, but another plan. I called it the Ant Colony Plan."

Lin Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect Taylor to have two plans.

But he quickly searched for the information in the original plot in his mind.

In the original plot, Taylor did have two wall-facing plans, but that was because there were two different versions of "The Three-Body Problem."

The first version of Taylor's plan was to use ball lightning to attack the space forces, just as he said when he broke through the wall.

However, when the book "The Three-Body Problem" was translated into foreign languages, because the concept of ball lightning was not generally understood by the public, Taylor's Wallfacing Project was changed to the Ant Colony Project.

The plan was quite simple. Taylor was going to create an ant colony with CNC units, and then use a self-torture tactic to hand over the control of this thing to ETO in order to gain the trust of the Three-Body World first.

Then, they would use small space fighters to carry miniaturized hibernation equipment and high-yield nuclear bombs, and deliver water as a gift to the Trisolaran fleet when it arrived.

Finally, during the handover, a nuclear bomb was detonated at close range to destroy all the Tri-Body warships in one fell swoop.

Lin Xuan thought that this plan would not appear in Taylor's mind, but who knew that he would automatically give up this plan.

"Before I became a Wallfacer, I had done all the preparations for this plan. But I never expected that you would be more ruthless than me and announce your joining of ETO right on the spot."

Taylor was speechless.

"So my plan was aborted. After all, I could only pretend to defect to the Three-Body World, but you don't seem to be acting!"

The shielding device soon failed, and Taylor let out a long breath.

"I can't think of a third plan anyway. This is good. At least it proves that you are more suitable to be the Wallfacer than me."

Taylor took a sip of his coffee.

"The most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness."

Chapter 37 Zhang Xiang Shut Up

January, Year 5 of the Crisis Era.

The Wallfacer Project has been underway for two full years, and the Trisolaran fleet is getting closer and closer to Earth.

In the third base of Hong'an, this year's Spring Festival is much more lively than last year.

Because in addition to the people in the base, there were three more people who also came to the Red Coast Base to celebrate the New Year with everyone.

It was Luo Ji and Zhuang Yan who had disappeared for a long time.

The two of them spent the entire last year traveling all over the world, visiting more scenic spots than Lin Xuan had ever heard of in her life.

Why do you say there are three people?

Because in addition to the couple, their daughter was also born.

Taylor had mentioned to Lin Xuan once before that Luo Ji and Zhuang Yan’s child would be born next year. Lin Xuan was very surprised at the time. After all, this was several years earlier than the original plot.

During this year's Spring Festival, Lin Xuan gave a holiday to all the staff at the Hong'an Base. After all, these people have been busy for almost two years and haven't been home. It was a good opportunity to let them rest for a few days since there was not much work on hand.

The basic structure of the Super Dream Project has been completed, and good news has come from the project of three space elevators that Wang Miao is responsible for. The base of the space elevator has been successfully installed at the equator. It is expected that by the end of this year, the first-level space elevator will be built to the low-Earth orbit and will be officially put into operation next year.

Ladder No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.

Space Elevator No. 3 is a sea-based elevator. Its base is an artificial floating island called "Verne Island" on the equator of the Pacific Ocean. The floating island can sail on the sea with the help of its own nuclear power, so the position of the space elevator can be changed along the equator as needed.

As for Ding Yi, because he has the Mewtwo World, he can directly conduct nuclear energy conversion experiments in it, saving even the consumables.

The energy conversion rate of controlled nuclear fusion has been increased to about five times the original level. This can be seen from the fact that countries are increasingly fond of using nuclear energy to replace their original energy consumption.

China has even begun research and development of nuclear-powered vehicles.

But this does not mean that controlled nuclear fusion technology has been perfectly realized, it is even far from it.

This technology is still full of loopholes. Ding Yi has tried to optimize it, but there has been no progress.

This is not because of Zhizi's technological blockade, but Ding Yi feels that the upper limit of this technology is only this high.

No matter how much I derive the model data, the optimization solution I get only improves the energy conversion rate by about 0.001% compared to the previous one.

Controlled nuclear fusion is like a sponge that has evaporated. Ding Yi is trying to squeeze out more water from it, but the effect is not significant.

"Sure, Zhang Xiang, you cooked this dish really well."

Luo Ji picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, a happy smile on his face.

He and Zhuang Yan returned to China at the end of last year. Chang Weisi met with them as usual. After learning that Zhuang Yan was pregnant, he arranged for her to be admitted to the best Union Hospital in China.

West China Hospital in the South and Union Medical College Hospital in the North, these two hospitals have always been the top medical hospitals in China. It is said that they never issue transfer certificates because they say if you can cure it, you can cure it, but if they can't, even the God of Heaven can't save you.

The whole process went quite smoothly. After Luo Ji accompanied Zhuang Yan in the hospital for about two months, they were discharged from the hospital with their daughter.

"That's because you haven't been back to China for too long, Mr. Luo. This year I heard from my colleagues at the PDC that you guys traveled around the world and had a lot of fun. If I had known earlier, I should have swapped positions with Kante."

Kant is Luo Ji's handover officer. Every wallfacer has his own handover officer, who needs to protect the wallfacer's safety while also submitting the wallfacer's needs to the PDC for review.

Kant has traveled to all countries around the world with Luo Ji in the past two years. However, since Lin Xuan rarely goes out to play, Zhang Xiang, as his successor, can only stay in the Red Coast Third Base.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiang.

"Zhang Xiang, you are slandering me. Haven't I ever taken you abroad to play?"

When Zhang Xiang heard Lin Xuan's words, he was immediately filled with bitterness.

"Yes, I have played it. The first time I went to the island country, you helped the first wall-facer Taylor break through the wall. The second time I went to New York, you sneaked into the PIA office building, and I was almost scolded to death by my boss. The third time in London, we encountered a terrorist attack by ETO..."

"Isn't this much more interesting than what Luo Ji and the others did? Don't worry about anything else, just tell me whether it's exciting or not."

Zhang Xiang: …

Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Luo Ji passed the last piece of pork ribs to Zhuang Yan who was standing beside him before he spoke.

"By the way, why don't you give my daughter a name? She still doesn't have a name. I've thought of a few before, but they all seem a little off."

Wang Miao smiled.

"Naming is indeed very important. It represents the expectations of the older generation for the younger generation. For example, my father named me Wang Miao. Miao means ocean, and it is also pronounced as Miao, which means the vast sea of ​​stars. My father always hoped that I would become an astronaut, but I didn't do as he wished. I studied nanomaterial engineering. If it weren't for the Three-Body Invasion, I don't think I would have anything to do with aerospace in my life."

Zhang Xiang: "I refuse to participate in this topic."

Zhuang Yan, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.

"I hope our child will be a smart person in the future, at least half as smart as her father."

Zhuang Yan didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone present was smart and knew what Zhuang Yan wanted to say.

If the Three Body Really Invades the Earth in the Future, Their Daughter Must Be Smart Enough to Survive in Such a Harsh Environment.

"If that's the case, then I know what to name her."

Zhang Xiang volunteered.

"The antonym of smart is stupid, but naming a child cannot be too direct, so we should do the opposite. Add the character "Yu" to the name. "Yu" sounds the same as "Yu" and also means Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms period. Then add the character "Fei" to it, which means negation. Instead of saying how smart this child is, it's better to say that she is not stupid. So, combining these two characters, why not call her... Luo Feiyu."

"Zhang Xiang, shut up!"

This was the unanimous opinion of everyone present.

This name is definitely inappropriate. What if she is sent to hibernation later, wouldn’t she become Frozen Luo Feiyu?

Luo Ji was speechless and waved his hand.

"Then let's keep it simple and just call her Luo Congmin."

The original plot did not mention the specific name of Luo Ji's daughter, so Lin Xuan nodded in agreement. Anyway, judging from the plot trend, she would be hibernated by the PDC along with her mother soon... If there were no major changes in this plot, it would be like this if nothing unexpected happened.

Chapter 38 The Second Transaction with the Trisolaran World

Lin Xuan met Yamasugi Keiko three days later.

Hines acted very quickly. After finalizing the design of the first version of the consciousness extractor, he had his team start assembly line production.

This time, Keiko Yamasugi brought more than 200 consciousness extraction devices. After packaging them, she handed them to Lin Xuan.

"Next time, I can optimize the appearance of these devices. It would be best if they look like a gaming helmet. I will need to use them for other things later."

After Lin Xuan briefly described her idea to Keiko Yamasugi, the latter sent Lin Xuan's proposal to Hines.

"By the way, ETO will hold a general meeting tomorrow, remember to attend on time."

After saying this, Yamasugi Keiko wanted to slap herself to see if she was dreaming.

This was really too outrageous. She couldn't understand how Lin Xuan managed to become the Wallfacer and the next leader of ETO at the same time?

And the key point is that Yamashan Keiko couldn't find any conflict in his behavior. After all, both sides now felt that Lin Xuan was on their side. As for what he was thinking specifically, probably only he himself knew.

After obtaining these two hundred sets of consciousness extraction devices, Lin Xuan can finally start the next phase of the Mewtwo Project.

Lin Xuan asked people to connect all these devices to the database, and then retrieved a hidden file stored in the database.

It was a game, a Star Wars game.

Players will play the role of a space force member participating in the interstellar war and fight the interstellar war from a different perspective.

You can choose to be any role in this war, whether it is the captain of a spaceship, a marine, a driver of a heavy mecha, or even an engineer repairing a space station, you can choose.

The game highly restores the operation of the spacecraft and the striking feel of various weapons. Even the feeling of weightlessness in space is restored accordingly, achieving almost 100% realism.

Even if this game is just a computer game, it will definitely be a 3A masterpiece, not to mention that this game is played with Mewtwo. The immersive feeling is absolutely unmatched by any game on the market.

But Lin Xuan's purpose goes far beyond that. He asked Yun Tianming to help him make this game before Yun Tianming left. The content and gameplay contained in it are quite unique.

Lin Xuan also named this game "Star Wars: Dark Battle".

……

The next morning, Lin Xuan attended the general meeting organized by ETO.

Originally, the meeting was scheduled for the afternoon, but because Lin Xuan had to attend the PDC's Wallfacer hearing in the afternoon, Qin Shihuang directly adjusted the meeting time for him to the morning.

This is simply outrageous. The same person could actually attend high-level meetings of two completely hostile camps on the same day. If this were to be made public, the outside world would probably be in an uproar.

When Lin Xuan's projection appeared in the Three-Body Game again, he found that the scene had changed.

He and a group of ETO members were standing in a field of yellow sand. In front of them, Qin Shi Huang was standing in front of a pyramid, holding a sword.

Behind him, three suns hung high in the sky, scorching the entire earth like a huge furnace.

"Everyone, the Lord has issued a new order requiring us to kill all the fugitives."

Although Qin Shi Huang was standing on a high place, for some reason his voice could be heard by everyone, so that even the ETO members who were standing far away could hear it clearly.

"The Lord has never relaxed his vigilance against the fugitives among mankind, but just recently, the Lord conveyed to me his intention to kill them."

"why?"
