• Lin Ye planned Azure Civilization’s next steps, commissioned more Instances from the District Heads, and received Katerina’s Wayfarer warship design.
• Lin Ye integrated the Intelligent Machines Civilization’s technology, expanded the Trisolaran arsenal, and won Stellar-level approval for the revised Instance.
• Lin Ye selected the Intelligent Machines Civilization as the Challengers, and BT1315 prepared its forces to seize and imitate Solar System Online.
• The five billion Challengers arrived in prehistoric East Africa, where BT1315 began building a base before learning the Trisolaran Civilization would invade and they had to resist for 72 hours.
• Sophons invaded the Intelligent Machines’ systems, disrupted their units, and helped TK75, 7NR, 44th8, and HD600 break away from BT1315 and split the army into warring factions.
• As the Intelligent Machines’ civil war destroyed billions of units, BT1315 unleashed Core Storm to freeze the machines and halt the fighting.
