Chapter 311: Wallfacer International - The Sky Patching Plan

Lin Sen's voice continued to echo in the hall, "The era of the Three-Body Crisis has come to an end!

"The Wallfacers have completed the mission that history bestowed upon them.

"This new era no longer needs the Wallfacers, and the era of the Wallfacers will also come to an end!

"I hereby solemnly request the Solar System Alliance to officially terminate the Wallfacer Project!"

No sooner had Lin Sen finished speaking than the hall burst into an uproar. Although people had sensed it coming and might even have longed to free themselves from the shadow that the Wallfacers cast over everything, the actual moment of parting brought a surge of complex emotions within them.

This feeling was like a fledgling yearning to escape the shackles of its parents, yet upon actually stepping out the door to fly alone, one would suddenly realize that they had not quite grown up and their heart still longed for the warmth and protection of their parents.

At this moment, people felt both relieved and inevitably faced with a profound sense of loss and confusion about the future as the era of the Wallfacers came to an end.

The Co-Chairperson said gravely, "The birth of the Wallfacer Act had a specific historical background; it was the sole strategic measure against the Trisolaran world's invasion of humanity at that time.

"The essence of the Wallfacer Project was to formulate a covert and effective strategic plan by granting the Wallfacers high levels of power and freedom.

"The end of the Sophon myth means that the Trisolaran Civilization can no longer monitor us; on the surface, it seems humanity indeed does not need a covert Wallfacer strategic plan.

"However, as history has evolved, the duties borne by the Wallfacers have undergone significant changes, and the Wallfacers are not just responsible for devising strategic plans. To a large extent, the Wallfacers have evolved into a unique power structure and have become an international space entity.

"The existence of the Wallfacers has penetrated all aspects of our politics, economy, and even culture. Once the decision is made to terminate the Wallfacer Project, the tremors and chain reactions that it will cause are unpredictable.

"We need to weigh more carefully whether we should terminate the Wallfacer Act.

"Mr. Lin Sen, do you have any other requests?"

The Co-Chairperson did not deny it, which meant agreeing to terminate the Wallfacer Act.

The Wallfacer Base has now been relocated to the Moon.

Since Earth was destroyed, the resources of Mercury, Venus, and Mars have been drained. The Inner Solar System, once a prosperous region, has now become the poorest area in the Solar System, its resource scarcity making even the Solar System Alliance consider abandoning it.

After all the twists and turns, Lin Sen had come back to this place, returning to where his Wallfacing plan truly set sail.

All of this seemed just like yesterday, those past challenges, decisions, crises, and turning points replayed in Lin Sen's mind like a film, giving him a sense of disorientation as if time and space had blurred.

Lin Sen took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "The emergence of the Wallfacer Act is undoubtedly a landmark event in the history of human civilization's development, symbolizing our unity and wisdom in the face of crisis.

"Now, its termination will also be another milestone in the evolution of human civilization, and humanity will face the sea of stars with greater confidence.

"The current Wallfacer Base is likewise a special governing force in the human world, and I formally request:

"The power aligned with the Wallfacers be transformed into a new international space entity and join the Solar System Alliance treaty."

Returning to the Moon from the Wallfacer Base, one cannot fail to notice the subtle changes within the Solar System Alliance.

They might not wish to have above them a special entity that supersedes conventional political structures—the Wallfacers.

This mentality does not stem from distrust or hostility towards the Wallfacers but from a consideration of the overall political ecosystem's balance.

Although Command Headquarters might not directly restrict or intervene with the Wallfacers, they also understand that societal development is beyond their control and not something that can be shaped by human forces, as the tides of time move steadily onward.

What's crucial is, humanity no longer needs the Wallfacers.

As the core institution of the Solar System Alliance, Command Headquarters may not directly restrict or intervene with the Wallfacers, but they are also keenly aware that societal development follows its own laws and rhythms that cannot be completely controlled by any organization or individual.

With the resolution of the Trisolaran Crisis and the end of the Sophon myth, humanity seems to no longer need a covert and highly centralized Wallfacer to lead them forward.

If they continue to cling to the identity of the Wallfacer, it will serve no benefit for their future. Thus, it is a wise and necessary choice to let go of this identity that no longer suits the needs of the times.

The torrent of time rolls on, bringing with it changes and evolutions that cannot be easily altered by human power.

In this context, Lin Sen's proposal to transform the power associated with the Wallfacers into a new international space entity and apply to join the Solar System Alliance treaty is perhaps what everyone wants to see.

The meeting lasted nearly a month, and after meticulous discussions and negotiations among all parties, the Solar System Alliance reached a unanimous decision: they agreed to terminate the Wallfacer Project and allowed the Wallfacer Base to transform into a new Space International.

To commend the Wallfacers for their outstanding contributions to humanity throughout history, the new Space International was named "Wallfacer International."

This name not only represented the respect for the Wallfacers' past but also symbolized the mission and expectations they carried for the future.

Wallfacer International would exist as a highly independent organization and enjoy lower levels of Solar System Alliance oversight in many aspects.

Lin Sen could give up his identity as a Wallfacer, but he would never give up the independence of Wallfacer International.

Human civilization, like a lone boat adrift in the vast and boundless sea of the universe, had only overcome its first storm, and the road ahead was still filled with unknowns and challenges.

Lin Sen's work as a Wallfacer would never stop, and it couldn't stop, and he would always be an assistant, an assistant to human civilization.

...

Trisolaran world.

Outside of the escape plan, under the initiative of The Head and the Military Governor, the Trisolarans gathered almost all their resources to start a super project codenamed "Mend Heaven."

The Trisolarans knew well that it was virtually impossible to keep pace with humanity in technological development following their current pattern.

The "Mend Heaven" project was their last hope, with which they aspired to make significant breakthroughs and thereby accelerate the rapid development of Trisolaran technology.

The objective of this project was to break through the limitations of Trisolaran intelligence, which was broadly defined. It included not only traditional logical reasoning but also the ability to learn, imagine, and innovate, the capacity to maintain open-mindedness while accumulating common knowledge and experience throughout one's life, as well as boosting the stamina of thought, meaning the brain's ability to think continuously without fatigue.

The lack of imagination and systematic knowledge among the Trisolarans was largely due to the constraints imposed by their relatively small brain capacity and neural density.

Although they could communicate through brainwaves, this method of communication did not provide much assistance in the field of scientific research and sometimes even hindered their thought processes.

A critical premise of the "Mend Heaven" project was Yun Tianming's brain.

Yun Tianming's brain had been captured by the Trisolarans after the Battle of Doomsday and sent to Trisolaris.

During that time, the Trisolarans conducted an in-depth and meticulous study of this human brain, attempting to unlock its intellectual secrets. One can only imagine the cruel torment that Yun Tianming must have endured in this process.

Now, the Trisolarans had also cloned Yun Tianming, and the current Yun Tianming had almost integrated into the Trisolaran world, becoming a member of their society.

The initial idea of the "Mend Heaven" project was proposed by Yun Tianming himself, pointing out a new path of development for the Trisolarans. In this sense, Yun Tianming might be called the first Earthling with Trisolarian citizenship, a traitor, rather than Mozi.

Yun Tianming's "betrayal" was not unexpected; presumably, in the original timeline, the rapid development of the Trisolarans must also have been closely related to Yun Tianming.

The "Mend Heaven" project was almost a replica of the Hines Brain Evolution Project.

The Hines Brain Evolution Project aimed to directly connect the brain with computers so that the latter's computing power became an amplifier of human intelligence; to achieve direct interconnection between human brains, merging the thinking of multiple people into one; to accomplish memory inheritance and more.

These goals had not been completed because they all relied on one premise: fundamentally understanding the mechanisms of human brain thought.

Shan Shanhui used an almost barbaric approach, simulating the human brain with a hundred billion microprocessors, thereby increasing the computing power of human computers by ten thousand fold and also understanding the mechanism of human brain thought.

The Trisolarans did something similar; they planned to use ten million directly interconnected Trisolaran brains to simulate the operational mechanism of human thought and combine these Trisolaran brains with quantum computers to create a super "brain."

The Trisolarans intended to achieve a revolutionary leap in their intelligence through this super "brain."

They hoped that through this super "brain," the Trisolaran world would gain learning, imagination, innovation, and thinking abilities that surpass those of humans.

They also hoped that this method would break free from the shackles of racial intelligence and lead Trisolaran civilization to unprecedented heights.

"Mend Heaven" was precisely about compensating for the Trisolarans' deficiencies at the intellectual level and propelling them towards a higher level of civilization.

With the "Mend Heaven" plan, the Trisolarans exhibited their boundless desire for wisdom and progress, as well as the enormous effort and unwavering belief they invested to achieve this goal.

Now, the "Mend Heaven" plan had already begun to show its astonishing effectiveness. It was like a magical key unlocking a door to a higher realm of intelligence for the Trisolarans. Through this key, they glimpsed a new world unlike any other before,

As human civilization ascended rapidly and shot up to the skies, the Trisolarans were perhaps not left far behind by humanity.
