Chapter 11: Logic's Wallfacer Plan_1

```

Logic did not notice what was happening behind him.

A chatterbox ghost was preparing to harass 108 using his own feckless tactics.

For most people, this routine would be very effective.

After all, if a fly buzzes around one's ear, nine out of ten people would definitely find it unbearable, any reaction could reveal a flaw, and as long as one has a thick skin, a connection is bound to be established.

It's a tried-and-true tactic!

Unfortunately...

He picked the wrong person...

At that moment, Logic was earnestly offering flowers to the portrait of Yang Dong, although her death was difficult to understand, too insubstantial, and somewhat contemptible.

After all, it was suicide.

But only Logic understood the pervading fear in Yang Dong's heart. She was a scientist with conviction, pursuing the path of science her entire life, dedicated to becoming a woman scientist who would impact the entire scientific community.

On this path,

She gave up far too much.

She shed too much sweat and endured too much hardship.

If not for Three-Body,

She would have made history, becoming a glorious page in the textbooks.

Unfortunately...

The joke played by Three-Body was too heavy!

The results of particle collisions were not the same!

This felt like finding out that the girlfriend you've been sleeping in the same bed with for several years was actually a man, according to the doctor one day.

It's preposterous!

A scientist could never accept such a thing because it means the very foundation of the entire edifice of science doesn't exist, everything is but castles in the air.

You've toiled your whole life, finally making ten million, only to be told that the country doesn't exist and the money is all counterfeit!

Despair.

Collapse.

Incomprehensible.

Even men can't bear it.

Let alone women.

Of course, this was only half the reason for Yang Dong's suicide, the collapse of her convictions.

The other half,

What could be more despairing than the fact that one's own mother was the villain leading to Earth's destruction?

Logic stood there silently for a long time until Ye Wenjie's voice suddenly came from behind, "Walk with me to the side."

Ye Wenjie's expression was particularly serene; perhaps in her heart, she harbored countless doubts about how Logic had taken over the ETO organization from Evans. Compared to Evans, Logic was too young!

Youth.

It signifies an incomplete understanding of society, having seen too little of human nature, still unaware of the treacherous nature of society and the ignorance of human civilization.

She walked quietly forward, passing by Yang Dong's grave. She seemed to be intentionally avoiding it, not wanting to discuss Three-Body or ETO in front of her own daughter.

Because it was an utterly ridiculous matter.

Because it was she who,

Indirectly caused her daughter's death.

She had long been prepared for this, but when the day actually arrived, her already icy heart still felt some discomfort.

The two walked silently along the path until they were far enough from others that Ye Wenjie finally began to speak, "Logic, is there anything else?"

She was a person very skilled at hiding her feelings.

Perhaps this is a characteristic of those who survived that chaotic era.

If you don't hide what's inside, you die!

Even though she was curious as to why Evans had abdicated and how Logic had taken over ETO, she still did not show it.

```

Logic feigned a look of helplessness, "To be honest, I really didn't expect Aunt Ye to be... Sigh... I should have thought of it earlier, Aunt Ye could have had contact with the Astronomical Observatory back then... And experienced that era..."

He pretended to sympathize, and with just a few words, Ye Wenjie's thoughts drifted far away, back to the era when a daughter betrayed her father, a wife betrayed her husband. It was her darkest moment of disillusionment with humanity.

It was also when she decided to contact Three-Body, intending to use the higher moral principles of a more advanced civilization to reshape humanity.

Ye Wenjie was momentarily lost in thought.

Logic continued, "Human nature is always ugly, always greedy, and especially arrogant. Technology has set humanity on a path it should not have taken, making mankind lose its natural predators, its checks and balances. Without external forces, humanity will destroy itself in no time!"

External forces.

That was Three-Body!

Ye Wenjie listened and nodded slightly.

Logic went on, "I want Shen Yufei to stop contacting Wang Miao."

"Why? Wang Miao's research on the Nanotech Flying Blades has reached a critical stage, and it might pose a threat to Three-Body. This is what the Trisolarans have instructed."

"Because I need Wang Miao!"

Logic earnestly described his plan, not only speaking to Ye Wenjie but also to the other half of the ETO organization under her leadership, and speaking to the Three-Body Civilization standing behind Ye Wenjie.

He said slowly, "I plan to change the location of the Second Red Coast Base, create the Third Red Coast Base, and then expose both the Second Red Coast Base and Three-Body to Earth's civilization!"

A glint of light passed through Ye Wenjie's eyes—the exposure of the Second Red Coast Base and the Three-Body Civilization to Earth's civilization.

Such a wildly bold and suicidal idea!

Three-Body was powerful.

Sophon was powerful.

But too far from Earth, Sophon could not interfere too much with humanity, not too much with reality.

Thus, for ETO, the principle they always followed was to survive quietly, to wait out four hundred years. When the fleet of Three-Body arrived, that would be when ETO reigned supreme.

But to expose everything prematurely.

With just ETO's current power against the mighty Earth civilization, it would be no different than lighting a match in a washroom, searching for shit!

Confronted with Logic's idea, Ye Wenjie did not understand, and the observing Three-Body Civilization also did not understand.

Logic continued, "Humans are greedy, but even more so, they are arrogant. If they learn of the existence of the technologically more advanced Three-Body Civilization, they will definitely be seized with fear, convene global elites for discussion, and ETO along with me can infiltrate their ranks, gain more power, and quietly recruit more people into ETO, expanding a thousandfold. That's the first benefit."

"The second benefit is this: the Three-Body Civilization will take four hundred years to reach Earth. Given Earth's technological development and resource consumption, coupled with humanity's capacity for environmental destruction, it is very likely that humanity will face self-destructive civil wars and environmental devastation within less than four hundred years, rendering Earth unsuitable for any life."

"If the Second Red Coast Base is exposed, if the Three-Body Civilization is disclosed, allowing me to seize power on Earth, to promote the development of Earth's technology, convincing Earth civilization that it has surpassed the Three-Body Civilization, human arrogance will lead them to look down on the Three-Body Civilization, even to sympathize and opt to accept it rather than wage war!"

Earth is truly enormous.

Even with eight billion humans, the area they occupy on Earth's surface is only 0.08%, and that only counts the surface; there's an even vaster world underground.

Not to mention.

The immense other planets within the solar system.

If Trisolarans who had survived such harsh conditions on their own planet were given planets like Venus or Jupiter with stable natural laws, they would probably wake up laughing from dreams of joy.

Once humanity discovers the Three-Body Civilization is no threat, they will not remain vigilant but rather keep it as a pet, similar to animals in a zoo. Hence, setting aside a plot of land would be sufficient to accommodate the entire Three-Body Civilization.

Logic shrugged his shoulders, "I am, after all, a pacifist!"

Expanding ETO's reach a thousandfold without spilling a drop of blood.

Silently causing Earth to let down its guard.

Executing a small stratagem to ensure four hundred years of peace on Earth.

A hint of coldness flashed in Ye Wenjie's eyes; Logic was a good leader, but not the one she needed.

Peace does not belong to humanity!

She concealed the coldness in her gaze, speaking indifferently, "It's hard to stand out from the global elite to gain such immense power over Earth."

"It's possible!"

Logic put his hands in his pockets and said languidly, "I have a bold plan, which I call..."

"The Wallfacer Project!"

He quietly thought to himself, Wallfacer Logic is coming online now!

Unlike the Wallfacers to come, the one he's deceiving now is...

Ye Wenjie and Three-Body!
