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

Liu Chang said this and took a sip of the wolfberry tea in the thermos cup.

"But we should also think on the bright side. At least this means that these clones won't be lost in the crowd anymore."

The original underground array of thinkers consisting of 32 clones has now been expanded to a scale of 1024 people.

1024, this number has a very special meaning for computer programmers.

"It's a pity that Dr. Ding Yi and Dr. Wang Miao are not here. They can only see this table of delicious food on WeChat Moments."

Zhang Xiang happily took photos of the dishes he had prepared with his mobile phone, and then shared them to his Moments with just one click.

After hesitating for a while, he deleted his Moments, edited a new one, and blocked Ding Yi and Wang Miao.

Just when Lin Xuan thought that this guy had a change of heart, she saw that he had edited a circle of friends on his mobile phone that was only visible to Ding Yi and Wang Miao, and set the publishing time to five in the morning.

Zhang Xiang: @丁仪@汪苗: You are still awake at this time, get up and have a midnight snack.

Lin Xuan: 6!

He still underestimated the bottom line of Zhang Xiang, this guy. He thought he had a change of heart, but he ended up spreading poison in the middle of the night and specifically tagged others.

Dr. Ding Yi and Wang Miao recently went to Reach, so neither of them is at the Red Coast base.

Wang Miao was responsible for building the synchronous orbital defense of Reach.

After more than a year, humans have basically mastered the method of building buildings in space. The next step is to start exploring this vast starry sky.

Lin Xuan's initial plan was to build a lunar base based on the moon, then connect Reach and the moon, and build a dock in mid-air so that subsequent fleets could use it as a docking point to repair their armaments.

As a result, Ding Yi's controlled nuclear fusion technology made a rapid breakthrough under Shi Qiang's previous suggestions.

Ding Yi abandoned all empirical foundations in physics, completely overturned and reorganized the controlled nuclear fusion technology from scratch, and finally obtained a new object - a nuclear fusion reactor.

The energy consumption of this thing is much better than the previous device.

Of course, this also means that this thing can never be used on Earth.

Because once an explosion occurs, the destruction of the entire earth will be catastrophic.

So Ding Yi moved his laboratory to the synchronous orbit, and while Wang Miao was working on the defense facilities of Reach, he installed his nuclear reactor in outer space.

The two technologies that were originally unrelated to each other were integrated at this moment. The reactor solved Wang Miao's space building energy supply problem, allowing those big iron lumps to operate effortlessly in space.

The technological level of mankind has also made a qualitative leap after the breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology, but the sophon is still there and the technological ceiling is almost locked. However, everyone is still full of confidence in the future.

From this moment on, mankind will officially enter its own cosmic era!

Chapter 69 Heading to Luo City

While the Reach project was being built, inside the Red Coast base.

A man with disheveled hair was standing outside Lin Xuan's office door.

"Wei Cheng, husband of former ETO member Shen Yufei, current PES technical advisor."

Lin Xuan raised her head, looked at the unkempt man in front of her, and gestured for him to sit down.

The latter then entered Lin Xuan's office. He looked around and found that there was nothing on the walls of the entire office, and even on the desk there were few decorative items.

"Mr. Wallfacer seems to like this simple style of decoration."

"Simplicity represents stability, just like the theorems in mathematics." Lin Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Wei Cheng reached out and pushed up the hair on his head that was blocking his vision so that he could see the man's face clearly.

"I thought you would be like other big leaders and like to decorate your office with some landscape paintings and calligraphy."

Lin Xuan smiled and shook her head.

"What's the point of painting and calligraphy that even they themselves can't understand? It's just a way for some ignorant people to show off. The more a person lacks something, the more he will show off. I never care about that."

"At least it should be made more impressive. After all, I heard that this is the center of your team." Wei Chengdao.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan shook her head slightly.

"No, you are wrong. Red Coast Base is not the center of our team."

Shock value from Wei Cheng +1.

"what is that?"

"The center of our team is neither the Red Coast Base nor the Reach in space, but myself."

Lin Xuan pointed at himself.

“Wherever I am, that is the center.”

Wei Cheng smiled. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had such an expression.

"I'm not a very talkative person because I'm too lazy to talk to others, but Mr. Lin Xuan, I think you and I can get along well."

"my pleasure."

Lin Xuan said, pointing to the refreshment robot beside her.

"There's coffee and drinks, pour them yourself."

Wei Cheng bent down and took out two paper cups from the cabinet, poured a glass of boiled water for himself and Lin Xuan, and then sat down opposite Lin Xuan.

"I heard Professor Wang Miao talk about you before. He said you are a very creative person. Now that I see you, it seems to be true."

"You should know my work experience. I worked for ETO in the early years, and later I was transferred to PES by PDC. In recent years, I have been mainly responsible for the construction and design of the scientific research vessel [Qiusuo]."

[Qiusuo] is the first scientific research vessel built by the Asian Fleet at Harbin Institute of Technology.

The name of the ship is taken from "The road is long and arduous, but I will search up and down", representing the first step of mankind's exploration of the vast universe.

“Those guys had no idea about the design of this ship at first, and it only took me one week to give them the best design.”

It can be seen that Wei Cheng still has some mathematician's pride in his heart.

"Yes, that's why I applied to the PDC for your secondment. I want you to be responsible for completing the [Mirror Project] in Los Angeles." Lin Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Wei Cheng reached out and took a piece of A4 paper from the table beside him, and began to draw on it while speaking.

"I've heard of that project before. It's a very good design. I thought at the time that the person who could design it must have at least two-thirds of my ability. However, I still made some optimizations in some local areas, which may make the project go more smoothly."

His hands kept moving, and every time he drew a line, every line he drew was a precise shape without any error.

When Wei Cheng stopped writing, an image of the underground city of Los Angeles appeared on the paper.

Lin Xuan picked up the paper and compared it with his own design drawing. Then he found that except for some places that he had changed, the rest of the design was exactly the same!

He took a magnifying glass and magnified the observation to millimeters, but it still remained consistent with the design drawing.

Even some erroneous lines on the design that were thickened due to the ink cartridge spreading during printing were corrected in Wei Cheng's drawing.

"As expected, he is known as a humanoid computer. His talent in geometry and mathematics is probably hard to find anyone comparable to him in the human world."

Wei Cheng reached out and tapped a few dots on the picture he had drawn.

"Well, these few places can actually be optimized. If there are really a lot of people living here in the future, we need to connect some cables on these two main roads, and we need to reserve some expansion modules in advance."

Lin Xuan was shocked.

Wow, I was still thinking about how to build the dungeon, but this guy even considered the city planning after the dungeon was built.

"These are trivial matters. I asked you to be in charge of this project in Los Angeles because I need you to add more things during the construction process."

Lin Xuan said as she took out the second design drawing and handed it to Wei Cheng.

Compared with the first picture, this picture is not much different from the first one in terms of the main structure, but some components similar to the airlock doors of spacecraft are added at some key nodes.

"This map can only be known by you, me, and the Trisolarans. You are not allowed to tell anyone else."

When Lin Xuan said this, she felt a little speechless. Sophon's surveillance was everywhere, and now when people swore, the Trisolarans could hear it clearly.

Wei Cheng just glanced at it and then directly lit the design drawing with a lighter.

"remember."

"remember?"

"Ah."

Wei Cheng's answer was quite calm, as if he was talking about eating and drinking water.

But Lin Xuan was shocked at this guy's memory speed. He just took a few glances and yet he was able to remember everything. However, when she thought of his ability to draw maps by hand that he had just demonstrated, Lin Xuan did not question anything.

"Then, you will have to stay in Los Angeles for a while in the next few years. The stewed noodles and spicy soup there are quite good. You can try the local snacks when you have time."

Wei Cheng nodded.

"It's just right, I want to change my taste. I've been staying in Northeast China for a year, and I'm a little tired of eating sweet and sour pork."

After sending Wei Cheng away, Lin Xuan went to find Liu Chang again.

Liu Chang came to him in the morning and told him that the reverse engineering of the batch of wheat seeds he had given him before had made progress, and asked him to go and take a look.

"The effect is still not as good as the batch you gave me, but if it is only used for the theoretical part, it should be enough."

Liu Chang handed a thick pile of files to Lin Xuan, which were the experimental records about that batch of seeds.

"I have submitted a copy of the stuff to the PDC, and also left a backup copy of the data in the Mewtwo world." Liu Chang said.

Liu Chang was speechless about Lin Xuan's behavior of getting on the bus first and then buying the ticket.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"It's enough to have a theory to support it, otherwise the PDC will think I appeared out of thin air."

"Is not it?"

Lin Xuan didn't want to continue arguing with Liu Chang on this topic, he said.

“After the PDC got the information, did it have any other reaction?”

Liu Chang shook his head.

"That's not the case. They have bigger troubles to deal with now."

"What trouble?"

Lin Xuan really couldn't think of anything more important than solving the food problem in the Great Valley.

Liu Chang smiled.

"You can check the news online. Diaz's Wall-Facing Project has been secretly restarted by some countries."

Chapter 70 Historical Inevitability

The people's shouting was drowned out by the tanks' cannon fodder, and under the machine gun fire, the Marines fell down in droves like wheat being cut.

In the distant sky, an intercontinental missile carrying a nuclear warhead drew a graceful arc in the air, and its final landing point was a military base on the ground.

"boom!"

A mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky, and all the buildings within a radius of dozens of kilometers centered on the military base were reduced to dust.

The next second, the surrounding scene began to shatter and the world gradually broke apart.

"Well done, you have now mastered the basic tactical combinations, but you still have a lot to learn in the use of infantry."

Diaz looked at the girl in white in the distance.

"This is not glorious, Mr. Diaz. I was able to defeat you because of my powerful computer computing power and nearly a million war simulations. I extracted all the players' data and synchronized them in my operating instructions. If I didn't rely on these, I would never be your opponent in a one-on-one situation." Cheng Xing said.

"Well, I can feel that if this were the real world and I were to have a match like this with you using a computer, I would definitely not be able to beat you. The speed at which you issue orders to each soldier is something I cannot compare to. Unfortunately, you lose in this aspect as well."

Rey Diaz commented.

"This may be a common problem of your AI. You focus too much on controlling details and divide everything layer by layer according to data. If it is a one-on-one contest, it may be difficult to defeat you, but when there are more people, your method will not work. From a macro perspective, you are still far from enough."

"I've recently been studying the history of human warfare and discovered that China once had a military strategist like this. In terms of tactical command, he made the same mistake as you did. He focused too much on microscopic battlefield scheduling and was even able to manually adjust the angle of a soldier's machine gun on the battlefield before the war began. This military strategy may not be suitable for a commander-in-chief, but it is qualified as a front-line battlefield commander."

Diaz paused at this point.

"Of course, this is not entirely a bad thing. Your abilities should complement each other. I will be the planner of the entire strategy, and you will be the commander of the battlefield. In this way, we can win both macroscopically and microscopically, and we will not make the same mistakes as when I was a wallfacer and lost my observation of the microscopic world."

"You are right, Mr. Diaz. Mr. Lin Xuan also hopes that we can cooperate and prepare for the war against PDC in the future."

"But speaking of this, there is an interesting thing. It seems that your wall-facing plan has been restarted by someone."
