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

A lifespan of three hundred years is enough for a rich man to accumulate wealth to a level that surpasses that of a country, and class solidification has almost reached its peak.

More and more chaebol families began to rise, fighting and scheming against each other.

This made the already poor life of the lower classes even worse.

For a time, everyone's condemnation of PDC became increasingly intense. If it weren't for the cloning technology provided by Lin Xuan, the chaos created by the masses would have already overturned the entire PDC building.

Previously, when people knew that Lin Xuan had the life-extending drug in his hands but did not disclose the technology to the PDC, many people accused Lin Xuan of being selfish. However, due to the construction of the space elevator and the mirror project at that time, these negative voices against Lin Xuan hardly caused any waves.

But now, Lin Xuan's wise move once again made people have greater expectations for this wall-facer.

Some people even hope that Lin Xuan will become one of the rotating chairmen of the PDC to oversee the behavior of the entire PDC.

In the end, the PDC had no choice but to issue three decrees.

First, the tax borne by immortals each year will be 30% of their total annual income, and the tax will be increased by 1% for every ten years of life.

Second, starting from the 21st year of the Crisis Era, those who become immortals are not allowed to hold any important military or political positions, nor are they allowed to participate in any political activities.

This resolution directly led to Chang Weisi and a number of senior military officers almost being laid off. In the end, it was Zhang Huaimin and a number of Chinese senior officials who voted together to keep Chang Weisi's position in the Asian Fleet.

As for the third, and most ruthless, rule, all immortals must participate in the plan to reinforce the future and fight for the future.

Once the three decrees were issued, the immortals, who were once above thousands of people, became exploited money-making machines. All the wealth they obtained belonged to the PDC in the legal sense.

This is actually the result of a time difference.

Lin Xuan had been stuck with the RX cell fission fluid technology for a long time, and PDC finally found a way to reverse engineer it. At this time, the precursor to the big trough just began, and the problems of human society were accelerated.

It seems that there is no problem, but the problem lies in the time difference.

Just as the rotating chairman of Say retired, the immortals appeared. However, the rotating chairmen of the previous generation of PDC all gave up on becoming immortals because they had to ensure the alternation of the rotating chairman of the PDC and representatives of various countries. After all, the current PDC has become the largest power center for all mankind. Once the representatives of the PDC can live for more than 300 years, the PDC will become a feudal and autocratic power group.

This allowed Zhang Huaimin and his generation of rotating chairmen to continue this tradition.

Logically speaking, this tradition would basically cease to exist after three iterations. After all, those who hold power desire eternal life. Perhaps after Zhang Huaimin steps down, the next rotating chairman will begin using this cell division agent.

Afterwards, the world situation deteriorated rapidly, and the social conflicts caused by the immortals broke out within three years after Zhang Huaimin's generation of rotating chairman took office. The next generation of rotating chairman didn't even have a chance to be elected before their possibility of becoming an immortal was completely strangled.

After all, the top leaders of PDC are just a group of ordinary people. After seeing the harm brought by the immortals, it is even less likely that they will easily choose the path of immortality.

However, people are like this. When they discover that they cannot achieve immortality, they begin to frantically suppress the group of immortals.

The international community began to increase control over cell division agents, prohibiting their use by anyone except the Space Force. Those who had become immortals also had a very difficult life, becoming a chosen worker, having to work endlessly for the PDC all their lives.

Many immortals even chose to commit suicide, and human society's hostility towards immortals gradually weakened.

Soon, the word "immortal" went from being envied to being despised in less than half a year.

The immortals suffered the same mocking fate as the hibernators back then.

When people look back on this history, they can't help but marvel at Lin Xuan's great wisdom. He may have already anticipated that human society would become like this, and people had misunderstood his behavior before.

At this moment, a dense stream of shock values ​​once again flooded Lin Xuan's head.

Lin Xuan was confused. She didn't do anything, so why were there so many shocking things?

Although the world economic system has collapsed, everyone's investment in education remains the same as before.

After all, we still hope that the next generation will continue to develop science to deal with the Trisolarans, and no country has ever been destroyed by education, so this is a long-term investment.

"By the way, Congmin, why are you so free today? You even have the heart to read. Have you finished your homework?"

Lin Xuan suddenly looked at Luo Congmin who was reading a book next to her.

"Um, I've already finished my high school entrance exam, so I don't have any homework."

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then she realized that this girl is almost 16 years old this year and should be going to high school by the end of the year.

"Ah... uh, is that so?"

"What else? You are my brother after all. Don't you ever care about where I go to school?" Luo Congmin couldn't help but give Lin Xuan a blank look.

After careful instruction from Wang Miao and Ding Yi, Luo Congmin's performance in mathematics and physics remained stable, but it was simply outrageous.

However, she has extraordinary talent in humanities and social sciences.

When she was in the first grade of junior high school, she began to contribute to major magazines and published some prose poetry collections. When she was in the second grade of junior high school, when her peers were still playing games, this girl had already begun to study Leo Tolstoy's "Resurrection".

So much so that the girl had piled up a warehouse full of books.

Lin Xuan had previously said that he could directly find someone who had read these books to extract the knowledge and then transfer it to Luo Congmin, which would save a lot of time, but was rejected by Luo Congmin.

She insists on reading by herself, and even now that e-books are very popular, she still likes to read paper books. She said that every time she reads these books, her thoughts can connect with the authors of these books across time and space.

The humanities and social sciences are different from the natural sciences. The truth of natural sciences is fixed; it is there, waiting for you to discover; whereas the truth of humanities and social sciences is very obvious, but everyone needs to use their own thinking to ponder and comprehend it.

But Lin Xuan was not interested in these. Every time he read these books, the densely packed text made him feel drowsy, and he became bored after reading two pages.

"By the way, don't you have any thinner books? These books are too thick and I can't finish reading them."

"A thinner book? Yes, it's on the bottom shelf."

Lin Xuan bent down and found a book that was obviously thinner than the surrounding books.

"History of the American Country?"

Lin Xuan: ???

Chapter 89 There are six Earths in the Universe

Hines' thought imprint worked very well on clones.

After more than a year of experiments, PDC was no longer so resistant to this invention.

Although mind control makes this technology seem to still have many hidden dangers, in terms of overall strategy, Hines's thought stamp has more advantages than disadvantages.

Every technology has its flaws, just like the lifespan of the clones created by Lin Xuan cannot be extended. Compared with the benefits it brings, PDC can still tolerate this flaw.

But Hines' purpose goes far beyond this. He hopes that the thought stamp should be used more in the space force, rather than just being a means of restricting clones.

"This is difficult, Dr. Hines."

Zhang Huaimin met with Hines and frowned slightly after hearing the other party's purpose.

"I know it's not easy to take this step, but the human condition is precarious right now. Through more than a year of experiments, we have been able to preliminarily prove that thought stamping is harmless."

"The spread of defeatism is far more terrifying than ideological stamping. Now more and more people are confused. This is particularly evident in the space forces of the three fleets. And didn't Zhang Beihai, director of the political department of your Chinese space force, also propose a plan to reinforce the future?"

"In terms of goal, my plan is consistent with his, which is to strangle the existence of escapism."

Hines took out a piece of experimental data and wanted to verify his theory with Zhang Huaimin, but the latter waved his hand and refused.

"Dr. Hines, I am a politician and have no interest in scientific research. You should know what I want to see."

Hines was silent for a long time, and finally said helplessly.

"Well, I know what you're worried about. Since you think that thought stamping is a form of mental control, why don't we try a compromise and let the Space Force voluntarily accept this kind of thought stamping transformation? What do you think?"

"what do you mean……"

"I will open a facility to provide ideological stamps to the Space Force. The Space Force can voluntarily choose whether to accept ideological stamps. If it is voluntary, this is not forced control, right?"

Finally, Hines met with representatives of the island countries and the Russian Federation respectively. When the three seats of the entire Asian fleet reached a consensus, the proposal was submitted to the PDC for discussion.

“I think it’s a good suggestion.”

Surprisingly, the Eagle Sauce representative did not choose to refute this time. You know, in the past, whenever someone made some suggestions, the Eagle Sauce representative was always the first to jump up and refute.

Even their own country's Wallfacer Taylor, when he first proposed that crazy plan, the Eagle Sauce stood up and refuted it, not to mention Rey Diaz who came later.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand.

There are two countries that are the biggest beneficiaries of this ideological stamp, one is the United States and the other is Gaul.

Needless to say, the Gallic rooster may surrender quickly in wars, but it will bully countries weaker than it without hesitation. Since the Three-Body Crisis began, they have never stopped plundering external resources.

The Eagle Sauce needs ideological stamp to solve internal problems, and it is very urgent.

There is no way. This is the nature of their country. When the wind is in their favor, they are very stable, but once the wind is against them, the internal contradictions alone are enough to tear the entire country into countless pieces like the Roche limit.

"Since no one objects, this resolution is passed."

"I have another question." said the representative of the Will Country.

"Regarding the ideological imprint of the Space Force volunteers, I think some changes should be made. After all, they are not clones, and the propositions between them should be differentiated."

“This was actually considered a long time ago.”

Zhang Huaimin placed a copy of Hines' psychotherapy diagnosis on the table.

"See? It's an interesting conclusion."

"When Hines was researching the ideological stamp, he gave himself the proposition that 'water is poisonous', which caused him to be unable to drink water normally for more than a month."

"But after nearly half a year of psychological treatment, the mental imprint has been completely eliminated, and now he can basically drink water like a normal person."

"The ideological stamp has been removed?" Everyone was shocked.

"That doesn't make sense. If the mind stamp can be cured through psychotherapy, why can the mind stamp on the clone army last so long?"

"That's the point I'm making."

Zhang Huaimin took out a copy of Lin Xuan's experimental report.

"Take a look at this. This is Lin Xuan's previous experimental report, for clone subject No. 1881. The proposition is [There are six Earths in the universe]."

"The result is that Subject 1881 firmly believes this. Even after we conducted psychological counseling for a year, he still firmly believes in the hypothesis that there are six Earths in the universe."

"Then there is Subject No. 210. His proposition is [God created humans]. Like Subject No. 1881, psychological counseling has no effect on him either."

"This result is already very obvious. If we want to make the effect of the ideological stamp last, we need to make certain adjustments to the proposition. The proposition must follow two characteristics.'

"First, the concept of the proposition must be vague. The less specific the proposition is, the better the effect of the thought stamp. For example, before, a person was stamped with the thought that "there are ghosts in the world", so he was very afraid of killing. But if the proposition is changed to "all things have spirits", then he might not even dare to eat plants."

"Secondly, the conclusion of the proposition must be difficult to overturn. It is something they cannot verify personally. The reason why Dr. Hines was able to recover so quickly in a short period of time is because he deeply knows that water is non-toxic. He has been practicing to overturn this theory for the past two months. This process is quite painful. He will continue to play games with his own thoughts."

"So, my suggestion is that the proposition given to the Space Force should be changed to [Humanity Must Win], so that both of the above conditions can be met at the same time."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Zhang Huaimin's proposal.

Three days later, Hines' [Faith Center] began to operate.

In front of the entrance to the Faith Center stands a scaled-down replica of the Statue of Liberty, and no one can quite tell its purpose.

I guess he wants to use "freedom" to dilute the color of "control".

But Hines waited in front of the door for a whole day, and the only person who came was Lin Xuan.

"Why don't you call Miss Yamasugi Keiko to help?"

Lin Xuan was asking the question even though she already knew the answer. In order to prevent ETO from disrupting her next plan, Keiko Yamasugi was still hibernating on Reach.

But Hines didn't know about this. He always thought that Keiko Yamasugi was still in the hibernation center.

"I don't know if what I did is right. Perhaps modifying people's minds is really an unforgivable evil. I don't want Huizi to be involved. Since she is hibernating, let her sleep. When I succeed, I will wake her up."

Lin Xuan naturally knew that Hines was not talking about the ideological stamp, but his next plan to face the wall.

Indeed, if we look at the problem from Hines' perspective, letting Keiko Yamasugi continue to hibernate is indeed the best option at this time. If it fails, people will not blame Hines' mistake on his wife.

"Your store is not doing well. There is no one here today. If it were a restaurant, you might have gone bankrupt." Lin Xuan joked.

Hines shook his head slightly.

"No, we already have a guest."

"Who?"

"Myself."

Chapter 90 stamps the entire ETO with ideological stamp!

"Take a break, Huizi. You've been busy for almost three days."

Inside the laboratory, the light of incandescent lamps filled the entire room, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness outside.

Keiko Yamasugi sat in front of the computer like a statue, checking the final experimental data over and over again.

Hines pushed the door open and walked into the house, placing a cup of brewed coffee next to Keiko Yamasugi's table. In order to achieve the best refreshing effect, Keiko Yamasugi asked Hines to take two pieces of ice from the ice maker and put them into the cup.

"It will be soon. There is only one last part left. I need to optimize all the data once more, so that I can convince those old guys at the group meeting tomorrow." Keiko Yamasugi seemed extremely confident.

She has been researching the topic of medical machinery transformation for nearly three years. From the time she graduated with a doctorate until now, she has devoted almost all her efforts to this topic.
