The Science Fiction World of Xueba

A smile appeared on Pang Xuelin's face. He could tell that Say was trying to whet everyone's appetite!

If I am a Wallfacer, whether it is the designer of the "Wallfacer Project", a former ETO member, or a top mathematician, compared to the other four Wallfacers, there are so many things worthy of the media's special mention.

But this is exactly what Pang Xuelin wants to achieve.

Fame is a very mysterious thing. Sometimes it seems useless, but sometimes, fame can help people achieve great things.

In the original book, the Wallfacer project failed one after another, and two hundred years later, it has become an ancient joke.

In order to verify the correctness of the dark forest theory, Luo Ji used the reflection effect of the sun mirror to send a piece of information about the positions of stars 60 light-years away from the earth to outer space, and was ridiculed by later generations as a wizard from the east.

Pang Xuelin didn't want his wall-facing plan to end up in such a state.

Therefore, from now on, he must make himself high-profile and become the leader of the wall-facing plan.

When necessary, I even need to interfere with the decisions of several other Wallfacers.

He must convince everyone that the Wallfacer Project is truly the only strategic plan that can save all mankind!

On the podium, Say's voice continued.

"After the three-body crisis came, we noticed the following fact: There are more and more evidences that more sophons are continuously reaching the solar system and entering the earth, and this process is still going on. Therefore, for the enemy In other words, the earth is now a completely transparent world, for them, everything in this world is ready to be read at any time like an open book, and human beings have no secrets to speak of.”

"Currently, the mainstream defense plan that the international community has launched, whether it is its overall strategic thinking or the tiniest technical and military details, is completely exposed to the enemy's vision, in all conference rooms, in all filing cabinets, In all computer hard drives and memories, sophon eyes are everywhere. A plan, a plan, a deployment, no matter how big or small, when they appear on Earth, they will be at the enemy headquarters four light-years away at the same time. Shows that any form of communication within humans leads to leaks."

"However, so far, human beings still have secrets. Our secrets are the inner world of each of us. Sophons can understand human language, and can read printed text and information stored in various computer media at super high speed, but they cannot read people's minds,

Therefore, as long as they do not communicate with the outside world, everyone is an eternal secret to Sophon, and this is the basis of the Wallface Project. "

"The core of the Wall Facing Plan is to select a group of strategic planners and leaders who formulate strategic plans entirely on their own thinking without any form of communication with the outside world. The real strategic thinking of the plan, the completed steps and the final The purpose is only hidden in their brains, we call them Wallfacers. In the process of leading the implementation of these strategic plans, the thoughts and behaviors of Wallfacers to the outside world should be completely false and carefully planned Disguising, misleading and deceiving, what the Wallfacers want to mislead and deceive is the entire world including the enemy and their own, and finally build a huge and confusing labyrinth of illusions, so that the enemy will lose correct judgment in this maze, and as much as possible Postpone the time for it to ascertain our true strategic intentions."

"The Wallfacers will be granted very high powers, enabling them to mobilize and use part of the war resources already on Earth. During the execution of the strategic plan, the Wallfacers do not have to give any explanations for their actions and orders, regardless of How incomprehensible is this kind of behavior. The behavior of the Wallfacers will be supervised and controlled by the United Nations Planetary Defense Council, which is the only institution that has the power to finally veto the Wallfacers' orders in accordance with the United Nations Wallface Act."

"In order to ensure the continuity of the Wallfacer plan, all Wallfacers will use hibernation technology to span time until they reach the era of the final decisive battle. The Wallfacers decide on their own. In the next four centuries, the United Nations Wallfacer Act will exist as an international law with the same status as the UN Charter. It will work with the corresponding laws formulated by various countries to ensure the implementation of the Wallfacer's strategic plan. "

"The task undertaken by the Wallfacers will be the most difficult mission in human history. They are true loners who will completely close their hearts to the entire world and even the entire universe. What they can confide and communicate with is their spiritual The only ones to rely on are themselves. They will shoulder this great mission and walk through the long years alone. Here, let me express my deep respect to them on behalf of the human society."

"Next, in the name of the United Nations, I will announce the five Wallfacers finally selected by the United Nations Planetary Defense Council..."

"The first Wallfacer, Frederick Taylor!"

Amid the warm applause from the audience, Taylor walked onto the rostrum calmly, shook hands with Say, then stepped aside, turned around, and faced the venue.

There was a faint smile on his face, and no one could tell what the former US Secretary of Defense was thinking.

"The second Wallfacer, Manuel Reydíaz!"

The South American strongman stepped onto the rostrum firmly, with a hot light in his eyes.

After shaking hands with Say, Rey Diaz came to Taylor.

There was a burst of whispering from the audience. Rey Diaz has always been known for his anti-American stance.

This pair of former enemies is now standing one step away, and they don't know what will happen.

Taylor smiled and stretched out his hand first, and said a few words to Rey Diaz, and then Rey Diaz reached out to shake Taylor's hand. The two whispered a few words, and then separated. Rey Diaz turned around and stood beside Taylor beside.

"The third Wallfacer, Bill Hines!"

Bill Hines was all smiles, and walked briskly onto the rostrum. This scholar-turned-bureaucrat was personable and elegant, and he was well-received internationally.

Hines shook hands with Say, Taylor, and Rey Diaz respectively, and then stood beside Rey Diaz.

Under the stage, Hines' wife, Keiko Yamagiri, was covering her mouth with both hands, looking at her husband affectionately.

Pang Xuelin's eyes swept across Shanshan Keiko's face, this couple is quite interesting.

One is a wall-facer and the other is a wall-breaker.

Entangled for hundreds of years.

However, Pang Xuelin did not intend to reveal the identity of Keiko Shanshan within a short period of time.

In the future, thanks to the help of his wife, Hines came up with the ideological stamp. (Ideological seal: that is, a certain proposition can be engraved into a person's brain through mechanical equipment, so that he can believe it subconsciously)

That thing will be of great use to Pang Xuelin in the future.

Amidst the applause, Say's voice continued: "The fourth Wallfacer, Dr. Luo Ji!"

The scene suddenly fell silent. If it wasn't surprising that the first three Wallfacers were all well-known figures in the world, then the fourth Wallfacer was surprising.

"Luo Ji, who is this guy?"

"Looks like a Chinese."

"Why did the Planetary Defense Council (PDC) choose him."

"I don't know, maybe there is something special about it..."

Someone in the audience was discussing in low voices.

Pang Xuelin turned his head and saw Luo Ji standing up in a daze after hearing his name, and then boarded the rostrum under the guidance of a UN official.

Pang Xuelin turned sideways, and asked Kanter intentionally or unintentionally: "Who is this person, and why did you choose him?"

Kanter shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the Wallfacers selected by the PDC always have their own reasons."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said nothing more.

This swinger brother, I am afraid that he never thought that when he visited the grave of his high school classmate Yang Dong last year, he accidentally encountered Ye Wenjie. The conversation between him and Ye Wenjie about the sociology of the universe would bring such a huge change to his life. .

Luo Ji mechanically walked up to the rostrum, shook hands with Say, and then stood beside Hines in a daze.

Say smiled and continued: "Next, I will announce the fifth Wallfacer..."

This time, Say didn't just read the opponent's name like the previous Wallfacers did, but gave a long introduction first.

"The identity of this wallfacer is quite special. It can be said that without him, there would be no wallface project! He is the founder of the wallface project, and he is a former core member of ETO. It is with his help that we got ETO Regarding all the information about the Trisolaran civilization, he is also a top mathematician. In the past year, his theories and research results have pushed mankind forward in the fields of mathematics and natural science. At the same time, he is one of five He is the youngest among the Wallfacers. He is our fifth Wallfacer——Professor Pang Xuelin!"

Say's voice fell, and there was an uproar at the scene.

Pang Xuelin got up slowly, and his figure appeared on the big screen.

All eyes in the audience were focused on him.

At this moment, not only the site of the Wallfacer Conference, but also all the people around the world who were watching the live broadcast, focused their attention on Pang Xuelin.

The media reporters who were excitedly writing articles before quickly turned their attention away from Luo Ji.

After all, compared to Luo Ji, who was not well-known and had no amazing background, Pang Xuelin had too many things to discover.

Especially the identity of the former ETO member is simply a treasure trove of news.

...

Beijing, the cafeteria of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Zhuang Yan was eating while watching the live broadcast of the Wallfacer Conference on TV with her classmates.

When Say pronounced Pang Xuelin's name, and at the same time the live camera shot on Pang Xuelin, Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and even the chopsticks in his hand fell to the dinner plate with a bang.

"Yanyan, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, no... nothing..."

Zhuang Yan picked up the chopsticks in a hurry, feeling a little lost.

"Hey, I didn't expect there to be two Wallfacers in China. That Dr. Luo Ji is nothing more than that, and this Professor Pang is too handsome. He is also the founder of the Wallface Project and a former member of ETO. It's really incredible. ..."

"Oh...he's pretty good..."

Zhuang Yan looked at the figure of Pang Xuelin on TV in a daze.

Although she had already guessed that Pang Xuelin's identity was unusual, she never expected that the other party would be the founder of the Wall Facing Project and even a former member of ETO.

"I don't know what Brother Pang went through in the past..."

Zhuang Yan sighed inwardly.

...

With a faint smile on his face, Pang Xuelin walked up to the podium unhurriedly, and shook hands with Say.

"Ms. Say, thank you for your hard work during this time!"

Say smiled and said: "I am nothing, Professor Pang, I hope that you and your wall-facing plan can bring surprises to us humans!"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Definitely!"

Then, Pang Xuelin shook hands with Taylor, Rey Diaz, Hines and Luo Ji one by one.

When shaking hands with Luo Ji, perhaps because of the shock of the announcement of Pang Xuelin's identity just now, or because of the intimacy that the two are both Chinese, Luo Ji seemed to recover from his bewilderment and said, "Professor Pang, are you The creator of the Wallfacer plan, do you know why the PDC chose me to be the Wallfacer?"

Pang Xuelin shook his head and said, "Dr. Luo Ji, I just found out all the candidates for the Wallfacer, but I think since the PDC chose you as the Wallfacer, there must be their reasons. You should try to find the answer yourself."

"oh!"

Luo Ji nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked, "Can I refuse this Wallfacer status?"

Pang Xuelin looked at Luo Ji with a half-smile and said, "You can try."

"oh!"

Luo Ji nodded in a daze. He vaguely felt that Pang Xuelin's smile just now had a different meaning, but he didn't understand what it meant.

He has not yet realized the essence of the identity of the Wallfacer. Before the mission of the Wallfacer is delivered, there is no need to seek advice from candidates; and once the mission and identity of the Wallfacer are given, it is impossible to refuse or give up.

This impossibility does not come from someone's coercion, but a cold logic determined by the nature of the Wallfacer project.

The Wallfacer project requires the Wallfacers not only to be able to fool the Trisolarans, but also to be able to fool all human beings.

Therefore, when a person becomes a Wallfacer, an invisible and impenetrable barrier is immediately established between him and ordinary people.

Even if the Wallfacer chooses to refuse, how do other people know if the Wallfacer is already working?

This is the core meaning of the Wallface Project. Its logic is cold and perverted, but it is as strong as the iron ring that locks Prometheus.

This is an irrevocable curse, and it is impossible for the Wallfacer to break it with their own strength.

After confirming the candidates for the Wallfacer, Pang Xuelin and the others were brought to sit in the first row of the audience, and then went through a series of procedures.

Finally, Say announced that the Wallfacer Project had officially started.
