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

"There are only 50 billion people left in the world, and even if it continues to decline in the future, you can't build a space station that can accommodate 20 billion people."

In the 10th year of the Crisis Era, which is around 2017 AD, the world's population was only about 70 billion at that time. Coupled with the signs of the Great Depression, the population began to plummet rapidly, from 8 billion in the 70th year of the Crisis Era to about 20 billion.

Most people died of famine, and some died in the colonial resistance against Gallicus, which was violently suppressed by the European Union, which sent troops to suppress it on charges of crimes against humanity.

"Yes, and for these 20 billion people we have to consider eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, cultural conflicts, and all kinds of messy things. Living in space requires a huge amount of supplies," the Eagle Sauce representative added.

"We have considered this plan before. At that time, we named it the [Noah's Ark Project]. But later we found that it was impossible to meet the living needs of so many people. So, Mr. Lin Xuan, do you have any solution to the problem?"

"Only send the conscious body."

"what?"

The Eagle representative asked again, either because he didn't hear clearly or because he couldn't believe it.

"I said, only send the conscious body!"

"You should have all experienced the Super Dream Database. I can accommodate the consciousness of billions of people, and then take away only one database to Reach."

"You want to store all of humanity in that database of yours?"

"Are you crazy?"

"I absolutely don't agree with this. This kind of thing is even more abominable than Rey Diaz. You are enslaving all of humanity!"

Looking at the indignant expressions of the representatives, Lin Xuan smiled.

"Then if I say to everyone present here, the participants of this meeting, that I can guarantee that you and your children will live on Reach in normal human bodies, will you still agree to my plan?"

The whole place fell into dead silence again.

Obviously, someone was moved.

“There is no need to discuss this design.”

Zhang Huaimin, the representative of China, said.

"Whether we agree or not, the difference is actually how big the Reach Space Station should be. Deploying defenses in synchronous orbit is part of the PDC design, so there is no need to discuss this topic. As for whether it will be implemented, that will have to wait for four hundred years."

"I agree. There is no need to discuss this. This plan can be used as a last resort. I also think the expansion of Reach is necessary. Let's build it first as Lin Xuan said."

Although the words of the Eagle Sauce representative seem to be the same as those of the Chinese representative, the two have completely different meanings.

What the Huaxia representative meant was: Your plan won’t work. You just want money, so we’ll give it to you. We were planning to spend the money anyway, so it doesn’t matter where we spend it.

What the Eagle Sauce representative meant was: Your plan is not acceptable now, because if I agree to it now, there will definitely be other people who object. You go ahead and do it first. If you succeed, the benefits will belong to me, but if you fail, the blame will be on you.

At this time in the Three-Body World, Qin Shi Huang also began his private meeting with the Three-Body World.

Seven figures lit torches, and the light of the torches dispelled the darkness around them.

Qin Shi Huang is a code name for the leader of the Three-Body Organization. It does not refer to a single person, but to the seven core leaders of ETO.

No one knows who the Qin Shi Huang who appears each time is, but it is definitely one of the seven of them.

"Lord, are you going to stop Lin Xuan? You have previously instructed us to stop the spread of escapism."

Following one of the questions, Tomoko quickly gave an answer.

"It doesn't matter."

"Lin Xuan's Reach Star Project is fake. This plan has no feasibility. Humans simply do not have the ability to build a space station that can accommodate the escape of all mankind before the fleet arrives."

"Go investigate what's behind his plan."

Ever since being tricked by Lin Xuan last time, the Three-Body World has had very little contact with Lin Xuan. Apart from helping with the construction of the underground city as agreed, it hardly speaks a word to Lin Xuan.

The Three-Body World has been scared by this guy. It turned out to be a wise decision not to directly fight the Observer.

Chapter 67: Always Ahead of Time

January, Year 10 of the Crisis Era.

With the deliberate promotion of various countries, the Reach Space Station has begun to take shape.

In addition to the basic space station module, Wang Miao also built a ring belt around the entire Reach, which will serve as the hibernation module for the entire space station in the future.

"To be honest, the design of your space station really looks like Aincrad from Sword Art Online."

Zhang Xiang was in the space capsule of Tianti-1, looking at the Reach Star Road in the distance.

From here, you can directly observe the giant space station in the sky with your naked eyes.

The main part of the entire Reach is a long central control console, the center of which houses the control center, energy module, and gravity simulation module of the entire space station.

Then the outer layer of this long space station is connected by circles of large and small ring-shaped belts, wrapped like a rice dumpling.

The ring-shaped belt at the bottom is the hibernation module. Going up, there are the entertainment area module, social area module, constant temperature planting area module, living area module...

“Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.”

Wang Miao couldn't help but sigh.

“The order of these levels is based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which, from bottom to top, provide five needs for humans.”

"What's the meaning?"

Zhang Xiang didn't quite understand, but he felt that Wang Miao's design must have a special meaning.

Wang Miao smiled and told Zhang Xiang a result that made his hair stand on end.

"These ring belts on the outer layer of Reach are all individually designed."

"That is to say... if necessary, I mean in extremely severe circumstances, we can take the initiative to detach the lower ring belt."

"Fuck!"

When Zhang Xiang heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

No wonder it is designed like this.

Doesn't this mean that if the Reach Space Station encounters danger in the future, they will take the initiative to abandon some people in space?

"That's what I meant. When I heard Lin Xuan come up with this idea, I was just as shocked as you were. But when I think about it, it does make sense. After all, compared to the survival of the entire civilization, an individual is indeed too insignificant."

"Is this Lin Xuan's idea?"

"Of course. Otherwise, do you think I could design such a crazy thing?" Wang Miao glanced at Zhang Xiang speechlessly.

"So, he really intends to run away with everyone in the world?"

Wang Miao shook his head.

"Theoretically, it's impossible. If you want to build such a huge space station in 400 years, you have to consider the energy issue. There are too many things involved. Unless there is no other way, it is impossible to take this route."

Zhang Xiang was a little confused when he heard this.

"Since you knew it was impossible to accomplish, why did you still follow Lin Xuan's instructions? Is it because he is a Wallfacer?"

Wang Miao laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Don't you realize it yet?"

"Realized what?"

"Lin Xuan's plans are always ahead of time."

"Wallfacer? The power of a Wallfacer right now is not as high as that of a state. If he is just a Wallfacer, no one will be willing to listen to him."

Zhang Xiang was a little confused by what Wang Miao said. He didn't quite understand.

“What does it mean to always be ahead of time?”

"It's hard to explain this to you. You know the general rule. Every step this guy takes is paving the way for the next step."

"If the other wall-facers are using an open plan to cover up their hidden plans, then Lin Xuan is more like carrying out countless seemingly unrelated plans at the same time, and finally weaving them into a complete line."

"The cleverness of this plan is that you can never guess his ultimate goal through one or two of his plans, because every time you think his move is a critical point, he will always attack from another more bizarre angle."

"If we compare the Trisolarans and us to two chess players playing against each other, then Lin Xuan has already played chess with the Trisolarans hundreds of times in this universe, using the stars as the chessboard."

Chapter 68 The Cosmic Age!

The 12rd year of the Crisis Era, 2019 AD.

It has been 9 years since Lin Xuan became a wall-facer.

But because of the injection of RX cell division regeneration fluid, his age was locked at twenty years old.

People say that 23 years old is the last highlight moment in a person’s life, because from the age of 23, both intelligence and physical strength will be much worse than before.

Therefore, many people choose to take the civil service examination or postgraduate entrance examination at this age to make a final effort in their lives.

"Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, I have been a wall-facing person for almost 10 years." Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, you have already delayed your graduation for four years. If it were someone else, they would have almost finished their graduate studies."

Liu Chang on the side couldn't help but tease.

"It's not because of you!"

Lin Xuan gave Liu Chang a speechless look, and the latter just smiled.

"How can you blame me? I even applied for you to repeat the grade. You should be thanking me, otherwise you would have lost your student status long ago."

"Thank you all my family!"

"Tsk, it's obviously you who failed the exam. If you didn't pass, then just study hard. Come on, I believe you will graduate successfully one day."

Lin Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He actually took part in the final exam of the University of Science and Technology of China last year. After all, it is not a big deal to always delay graduation.

Guess what happened? The old guy Liu Chang targeted him!

"Please prove the grand unified theory of the universe."

Opening lightning strike!

Lin Xuan's paper only had this one question, but...

This is fucking impossible. Even the Trisolarans can’t do it.

Originally, Lin Xuan thought that this old guy Liu Chang would only play pranks on her with math and science questions, but after getting the English questions, she was completely stunned.

“Please create a language with a similar structure to English based on the grammatical rules of English. It is required that there should be no duplicate words in the 5651 known languages.”

Exam? What the hell!

At this time, Zhang Xiang came out of the kitchen holding a plate of food. As the handover officer of the wall-facing person, he was now responsible for cooking for several people every day, just like a nanny.

And his age has not changed much, which is not because of Lin Xuan, but thanks to Liu Chang.

Previously, PDC had always wanted to do reverse engineering and crack the formula of the RX cell division regeneration fluid in Lin Xuan's hands, but unexpectedly, Liu Chang figured it out first.

Although the effect is not as terrifying as Lin Xuan's, it can also increase the life expectancy of ordinary people to about 300 years.

After learning about this, PDC bought the formula from Liu Chang. Lin Xuan didn't know how much it cost exactly.

But since that day, USTC has become the second university after Harbin Institute of Technology to have the ability to build spacecraft.

It has to be said that this old man Liu Chang is really awesome sometimes. The clones he created are now indistinguishable from real people.

In order to prevent these clones from being confused with real people in the future, Liu Chang stuck to his usual style and turned all of these guys into bald Wu Ke.

Lin Xuan even joked at the time, "You're doing this, have you ever thought that if you become bald one day, will we treat you as a clone?"

"So I prepared a second verification method."

As Liu Chang spoke, he turned and said to the clone next to him.

"Subject X412, tell me the definition of the word 'I'."

When the clone heard Liu Chang's question, he was stunned at first, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't know or could not answer the question.

"How did you do that?" Lin Xuan was surprised.

"Good question, I want to know too." Liu Chang rubbed his head.

"I don't really understand what the consciousness level is. This is a bug. Just like what I guessed before, even if I don't erase their self-consciousness, they still can't understand the definition of the concept of "I"."

"but……"
