……

The plane soon landed smoothly in New York City, and Lin Xuan and Zhang Xiang walked into the venue.

There were only three wall-facing practitioners attending the meeting this time.

Lin Xuan, Hines and Diaz.

Lin Xuan glanced at the seats inside and outside the conference hall and saw a few familiar faces.

Chang Weisi and Fitzroy, two senior military and political leaders, also attended the meeting.

In the original plot, General Fitzroy confirmed the authenticity of the invasion of the Trisolaran fleet through the Hubble II Space Telescope.

Because he was always in charge of managing the NMD system, Lin Xuan seldom saw him, and only occasionally met with him at PDC meetings.

There was another person who also attended the meeting, the director of the PIA's intelligence department, Thomas Wade.

Ever since Cheng Xin went into hibernation due to illness, Wade has been following up on the Ladder Project.

The probe was flying faster than they had imagined. If nothing unexpected happened, it should meet the Trisolaran fleet in about a hundred years.

At the beginning of the meeting, Galnin walked up to the podium somewhat reluctantly.

This year he is the rotating chairman, but he is not happy.

Because of the existence of Lin Xuan, Galnin was very nervous during the two or three months when he became the rotating chairman of the PDC, fearing that Lin Xuan would give him a hard time right from the start.

He now just wants to end this meeting quickly and wait until next year, when Sai will be the rotating chairman of the PDC again.

During her tenure as chairman, Kamisato Ryoko joked that Lin Xuan had single-handedly turned the position of PDC chairman into a time bomb, making it so that no one dared to take it. Everyone threw it to each other, fearing that the bomb would explode in their hands.

Similar to the previous wallfacer hearing, after simply completing the preliminary process, it was the turn of the two wallfacers to explain their work progress.

This time it was Lin Xuan's turn to start reporting, and everyone in the meeting room held their breath.

The last time Lin Xuan made a shocking statement and casually came up with the controlled nuclear fusion algorithm is still vivid in our memory.

They have learned their lesson now. Before Lin Xuan speaks, everyone shuts up and does not ask Lin Xuan any questions.

But this time, Lin Xuan's work report seemed quite standard.

It simply explained the fact that the database of the Mewtwo Project had been completed and that the three space elevators would be officially put into use in the 7th year of the Crisis Era.

"good, very good!"

Galnin couldn't help but lead the applause.

He was not applauding Lin Xuan's work progress, but was happy that Lin Xuan could finally perform normally this time.

At the same time, all the people in the venue who were worried and anxious breathed a sigh of relief, and some even wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

The impact that Lin Xuan has brought to these people in the past two years is so great that they have now developed a psychological shadow on Lin Xuan, and always feel that this person will do something weird in the next second.

The next Wallfacer to report was Hines.

In fact, many people are optimistic about his plan and are more interested in it. After all, improving human brain intelligence has always been one of the important topics of human exploration.

So when Hines said that current hardware technology could not meet the needs of his plan, the PDC unanimously approved his hibernation application.

The last one is Diaz.

Everyone is aware of his recent actions, and many people already have complaints about him as the second wall-facer.

Diaz stood up, ignoring everyone's gazes, and spoke.

"My plan requires a technical support from PDC."

"The construction of a stellar-class hydrogen bomb model with a larger yield is simply impossible with today's computer technology."

“It would take a computer twenty years to model even one percent of the entire project.”

"So, I need the PDC to agree to let me borrow Lin Xuan's Super Dream Database to complete the calculation of the entire stellar hydrogen bomb model."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Xuan.

Everyone has heard of Lin Xuan's Super Dream Database. It is said that it can use the human brain as a computing unit to improve the computing power of computers.

This thing is like a biological computer, but it is obvious that the thing made by Lin Xuan looks more advanced and has already involved things at the consciousness level.

"This is impossible."

Lin Xuan directly rejected Diaz's proposal.

"Mr. Diaz, I don't know if you have learned about the Mewtwo database I created before you made this request. It has only completed the first stage of data construction and is far from the amount of calculation you require."

Diaz nodded slightly.

"I know. I have considered this, so I hope that the PDC will agree to my request. From what I have learned, the first phase of your database project has been completed. The reason why you cannot reach the computing power I require is not because the database cannot handle it, but because you are worried that the excessive load computing power will cause irreversible damage to the computing unit."

Diaz was right. The database has been preliminarily completed. If we want to increase the computing power, we can connect a few more human brains. This way, the computing power of this machine will increase rapidly.

However, because the second phase of the Super Dream Project has not yet begun and the algorithm has not yet been optimized, if the computer is forced to perform such a high-load task, the computing unit will crash.

If it was just an ordinary computer, if the computing unit crashed, you could just replace it with a new one, but the computing unit of Lin Xuan’s database was a living person!

To put it bluntly, what Diaz did was to use human lives to increase the speed of calculations, because once the brain is loaded with the calculations of such projects for a long time, there is only one final outcome, and that is brain death.

"You are committing murder!"

Soon, the representative of the Eagle Sauce spoke first.

The representative of the British Empire was more rational and asked Diaz.

"How many people will die?"

"According to preliminary estimates, based on the average human brain load, completing this project will result in the death of approximately 14,000 people."

"Madman, you're going to kill over 10,000 people to build your model, you're a lunatic!"

The Eagle Sauce representative couldn't bear it any longer and cursed directly.

But Diaz didn't care about the insults hurled at him.

"Gentlemen, necessary sacrifices are desirable. If the death of 10,000 people can speed up the deduction of my stellar hydrogen bomb model, then I think it is worth it."

"I disagree."

The person who spoke was Lin Xuan.

No one expected that Lin Xuan would take the initiative to reject Diaz's request before PDC.

"I designed the Super Dream Project. It enjoys the same rights and status as other Wallfacer Projects. You want to turn that machine into a tool for slaughtering and harvesting human brain computing power. I strongly oppose this."

"Besides, I think these sacrifices are meaningless. Your plan has already wasted a lot of human resources. Now you are going to waste more than 10,000 lives?"

Everyone agreed with the first sentence, but Lin Xuan's second sentence stunned everyone present.

Why does this sound so familiar?

Upon hearing this, Diaz shook his head slightly.

"You said my plan was a waste of resources. How do you prove it?"

A barely perceptible smile suddenly appeared on Lin Xuan's face, as if he had been waiting for Diaz to say this.

"Everyone has seen it. He was the one who asked me to prove it. I didn't force him!"

At this moment, everyone present felt a chill, and they finally remembered why that sentence sounded so familiar. Lin Xuan had said the same thing when he was breaking the wall for Taylor.

"Could it be..."

Everyone just felt their breathing quicken, and a very bad premonition arose in their hearts.

Lin Xuan spoke slowly, enunciating each word.

"Wallfacer Rey Diaz, I am your wall breaker!"

Chapter 40 Why do you think you provoke him?

Quiet.

The whole place suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's expression froze, including Galnin on the podium.

Galnin was already numb, and now he just wanted to yell at Diaz.

"Ley Diaz, oh Ley Diaz, why did you bother with that bastard Lin Xuan?"

Galnin knew that from today on, there would no longer be another Wallfacer named Rey Diaz.

Shock value from Galnin +50.

Shock value from Chang Weisi +50.

+1 for the shock value from Vader.

The person who is most confused right now is Diaz.

His expression changed from shock to anger and finally to confusion.

He looked at Lin Xuan, who was standing in front of him across half the conference hall, and felt as if a heavy hammer had hit his heart hard.

But soon, Diaz put away the emotions on his face and regained his original fighting spirit.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, this kind of joke is not very funny."

"I am just proposing my feasible plan. The life and death of 10,000 people is insignificant compared to the continuation of human civilization. Maybe you think I am selfish. Well, I will apply to join the 10,000 human brain computing units connected to the Mewtwo database."

His words shocked people, but at the same time, they also admired Diaz's courage.

He is a determined human warrior, at least when it comes to fighting the Trisolarans, Diaz is absolutely qualified.

Just like what people said about Rey Diaz when he was chosen to be the Wallfacer.

He always charges ahead, swinging the sword in his hand at the enemy. No matter how powerful the enemy is, Diaz will rush forward without hesitation and bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh and blood. When he was the president, he was like this to the Eagle Sauce. Now that he is the Wallfacer, he is still like this to the Trisolarans.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Indeed, Mr. Diaz, I admire your courage. Only you can come up with a plan to destroy all of humanity."

"what!"

The whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked by Lin Xuan's words. Even Wade, who had been watching the show in the audience, showed a playful smile on his expressionless face.

After Lin Xuan and the others had almost subsided the shock in their minds, they looked at Diaz who was standing there in a daze.

"Well, then, I will begin to describe your plan."

"Your plan is quite good. At least from a strategic point of view, you are an excellent wall-facer."

"Since you became a Wallfacer two years ago, you have been obsessed with making nuclear bombs. This weapon is very ineffective in space, just like a wooden stick in the hands of a primitive man. Using it to fight against the high-tech Trisolaran civilization is tantamount to suicide. The last time someone did this was when the Indians were facing the landing of the Eagle Sauce."

Lin Xuan's words made the Eagle Sauce representative in the distance look dark.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, please be careful with your words."

As a result, the representative of the British Empire pulled the former's sleeve.

"Say less, or he might break through your wall."

Eagle sauce representative: ???

"So, your plan is just like Taylor's. It seems that you are going to deal with the Trisolarans, but in fact you are pointing the gun at your own people. This is why I admire your courage, because Taylor's plan at best just wants to kill the entire space force, but you want to kill all of humanity!"

"You fart!"

Diaz was completely furious. The veins on his head bulged, his hands clenched into fists, and his body trembled unconsciously.

But Lin Xuan knew from the shock value prompts that kept coming from the system that Diaz was completely panicked at this moment, and he was using his anger to cover up the fear in his heart.

"He's talking nonsense. I made a stellar hydrogen bomb. Although it was not used against the Trisolarans, it was definitely not used against my own people. My successor can testify to this."

Everyone quickly turned their attention to Diaz's handover officer, who nodded slightly, indicating that what Diaz said was true.

"Rey Diaz conducted nuclear bomb experiments a long time ago, even before he became the Wallfacer. Later, after becoming the Wallfacer, he used a carrier rocket to pile up all the hydrogen bombs he had made on Mercury. His explanation for this was that after the space elevator project was completed, he would go to Mercury to conduct experiments on stellar-class hydrogen bombs."

"If we need to prove this, we can send astronauts from the International Space Station to Mercury to check. Those hydrogen bombs are piled there."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Rey Diaz again.

"Yes, I was the one who placed those hydrogen bombs. Since you are questioning my plan, I will not hide it. My goal is to dig a super-deep well on Mercury, and then detonate the final one million stellar-class hydrogen bombs to blow a crater on Mercury to be used as a Mercury base in the future."

Diaz pointed down at his feet.

"I have to consider the future of mankind. Once the Trisolarans really occupy the Earth, the Mercury base will be our last barrier."
