Chapter 77: The Insane and Absurd Wall-facing Plan_1

"Only Trisolarans can deal with Trisolarans!"

As a military strategist, Chang Weisi's first reaction was that it was impossible.

Although, historically speaking, there are countless successful cases of betrayal dealt to the enemy by tempting them with gold, beauties, power, and status.

For example, there was Lü Bu, who specialized in stabbing his adoptive father in the back…

Time and again, they were moved by interests, betraying their own forces to pledge allegiance to others, and then, for even higher interests, they would defect to even greater forces.

This kind of scheme was all too common.

And it never goes out of style.

Whether in the past or present, it works just the same, but this strategy has a premise, that it should be applied to Earthlings.

Used on Trisolarans?

What are the characteristics of Trisolarans? What do Trisolarans look like? Where is the Trisolaris Planet? What do Trisolarans need? What are Trisolarans' weaknesses?

They, humanity, knew nothing at all.

They couldn't even communicate with Trisolarans, let alone turn them against each other by exploiting their weaknesses.

If they weren't careful, the outcome would be no better than sending a concubine to a eunuch.

I'll have someone cut off your root!

However, having attained his position and survived many trials, coupled with Logic's identity and achievements, Chang Weisi did not outright reject the idea but asked seriously, "Mr. Logic, could you please explain your plan in detail?"

"Oh? Is this really the right place to discuss such details?"

Logic asked directly in response.

Chang Weisi even thought Logic was angry since Logic was supposed to be a Brave moving in darkness to save humanity and being held in this interrogation room surely hurt his feelings.

He repeatedly apologized, "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Logic, there was some misunderstanding earlier. You are a true hero, and I deeply regret the actions taken against you and your unfortunate experience. It's all my responsibility, and I will report this matter to my superiors to seek punishment."

Chang Weisi spoke earnestly, "This is my fault. The invasion of the Three-Body Civilization is a serious matter. I urge Mr. Logic to consider this and that separately so as to avoid threatening or even causing the death of more innocent people..."

He thought of the Trisolarans' mad plan, which involved not only erasing Earth's elite but even calculating and preemptively eliminating the future elite of humanity.

Such a chilling thought!

This was a threat to the very existence of humanity!

If those who dared to resist loudly, those who struggled actively, those who fought bravely, and the leaders all perished, then what would remain would be nothing but sheep.

Logic shook his head; he wasn't angry about being detained in the interrogation room, "When I made that decision, I had already prepared to bear the name of a criminal. I just want to remind you of a sentence, a sentence I've already told you once!"

Under Chang Weisi's gaze, he repeated that sentence once more.

But hearing it again,

Chang Weisi's feelings were vastly different, his brows furrowed tightly, a strong sense of helplessness flooding through him.

That sentence was...

"There's a Ghost in this world! A Ghost wandering the air that cannot be observed!"

If mentioned before, this sentence would seem mysterious, hardly making sense or knowing what it was about.

But after Chang Weisi and his team had deciphered Shen Yufei's 'communications dialogue' with the Three-Body, they completely understood that sentence.

It referred to the top technology of the Trisolarans.

A Ghost roaming above Earth, able to observe every move of Earth's population in real time, a Ghost that human technology could not detect.

Sophon!

All of humanity's actions, all of its words, whether spoken or expressed in sign language; even a glance, even the words written on paper, were seen by it with crystal-clear clarity.

This meant that...

They would be utterly exposed before their enemy without any privacy; all of their plans would be observed by the adversary.

How could they fight this way?

You are just a child, and now every move you make can be predicted by your opponent, even the moves you are unaware of can be seen by them.

Even more horrifyingly...

It's as if, during a world war, the enemy got hold of the nuclear weapon codes or even directly stole the nuclear bombs.

How could they fight this way?

How could they fight this way?

Chang Weisi took a deep breath and heavily sat down on the chair, his mind a complete blank. The more he thought, the more he feared, the more he felt dread.

At this moment, he profoundly felt the collapse of emotions the group of scientists who had committed suicide must have felt just before their deaths.

He admired them all the more.

He admired how Logic remained calm and resilient when faced with such circumstances.

After contemplating for a short while, he asked, "What can I do?"

Logic paced around the room, "I need a lot of things, a massive amount of resources, absolute authority, and with a single command, the ability to mobilize anyone and any resource. Moreover, no matter how unreasonable the things I do are! No one must interfere! Nor is there a need to explain to anyone! I shall call this duty..."

"Wallfacer!"

"Hiding one's thoughts, allowing no one to see through one's plans, all plans and ideas are hidden within the confines of one's own mind, constructing a layer of thought that Sophon cannot penetrate!"

The audacity of this idea shocked Chang Weisi into trembling silence; his arms were shaking because the authority of a Wallfacer was truly too vast.

Even having faced life and death, he asked with a trembling voice, "Does that mean you wouldn't need to explain even the launch of a nuclear weapon?"

"Yes!"

"Does that mean you wouldn't need to explain even the complete annihilation of your own country?"

"Yes!"

"Does that mean orders to start a third world war, commands that could lead to the deaths of tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even the destruction of Earth, all wouldn't need explanation?"

"Yes!"

"You are insane! Absolutely!" Chang Weisi couldn't bear to listen anymore; his brain thundered with the uproar of this madness. How could such a crazed plan be proposed, and moreover, what kind of person would dare to conceive such an insane idea?

One wouldn't even dare to dream it!

Chang Weisi turned and left. In this small room, a man who had faced countless battles on the field of war felt the greatest fear of his life. He had just crossed the threshold when he heard Logic's calm voice, "Once, when I was researching the sun, I pondered one question, 'What should Earthlings do when the sun is about to destroy everything?'"

"Many people scoff at this question; how could the sun possibly be destroyed? But a friend of mine had a crazy idea, which was to build an Underground City, construct planetary engines to propel Earth through the vast universe on a wander!"

"To drift forever, seeking a new sun amidst the vastness of the universe!"

"No matter how many people would die, how long it would take, or what difficulties would be faced, as long as it ends in success! Humanity will continue to thrive! Humanity will not be extinguished!"

Logic, with hands in his pockets, turned his back, "And now, although the sun isn't exploding, the situation is nearly the same. General Chang, how should humanity choose this time?"

"Should we just wait for death, wait to be colonized? Perhaps waiting to be slaughtered? To be exterminated?"

"Or shall we stir up the last of our fighting spirit, throw our heads, shed our blood, and fight to the end?"

Chang Weisi fell silent.

"The heavens are collapsing! Who is there to support the edifice that is about to fall?"
