Although he, as the proposer, couldn't understand the drawbacks, judging by the actions of the Trisolarans, the quantum ghost existence of civilization had severe disadvantages. Otherwise, why wouldn't the Trisolarans use it to solve the survival crisis caused by three suns?
The Trisolarans are not stupid; their civilization is even more efficient than humanity's. Based on this, there's reason to suspect that the Trisolarans realized the drawbacks of quantumization that he hadn't.
The plan to make all of humanity quantum ghosts can only be the last resort when humanity faces unavoidable destruction.
"Understood, understood. Rest assured, I won't rashly implement this plan," Lin Feng replied with certainty in his heart.
"It's an honor to break your wall. Goodbye, Mr. Taylor."
After breaking his own wall, Lin Feng's 'plan' was completely revealed. Staring at the other's somber face, Feng Neumann knew he didn't need to do anything else and turned to leave.
"Excuse me, Mr. Wallbreaker, please come with us."
Several CIA agents in black suits blocked Feng Neumann's path. Clearly, they had no intention of letting this ETO Wallbreaker go.
This won't do! He's one of us! We can't let a hero who sacrificed for humanity bleed and cry! Lin Feng thought to himself.
Immediately, Lin Feng's somber expression changed slightly, and a low voice came out.
"Enough, let him go."
Feng Neumann cast one last deep look at Lin Feng, who seemed abandoned by the world, and turned to leave without looking back.
Lin Feng returned to the presidential car to head back. Shouts and curses came from behind the car.
"Executioner!"
"You and your father are detestable murderers!"
"Feng Taylor! You should be hanged from the gallows!"
"Trash dictatorship! Trash Wallfacer! Get out of the world of democracy and freedom!"
"Feng Taylor! Useless!"
The CIA supervisor sitting in the car held his personal firearm, constantly on guard.
At the same time, he didn't forget to pay attention to Lin Feng's state. From his perspective, Lin Feng's current state was very problematic.
He had been silent since being broken by the Wallbreaker, his face grim, as if he had lost his soul. This state was exactly the same as Frederick Taylor when he was broken by the Wallbreaker.
Due to the close proximity, the CIA supervisor could still hear him muttering things like "I didn't expect this" from time to time.
Shaking his head slightly, the CIA sighed in disappointment. It was over, another one failed...
Actually, what Lin Feng was muttering about not expecting was that there was a force hidden within the ETO that was helping humanity, ETO members who could be read as Wallbreakers but written as Wallfacers.
At this moment, Lin Feng was contemplating how to offer some help to these heroes who had gone undercover within the ETO for the sake of all humanity.
In the original work, the ETO would eventually be completely wiped out. What happened to these people hidden within the ETO? Were they wiped out along with it?
The original work didn't say, and Lin Feng couldn't be sure.
If they were eliminated, that would be too tragic.
They endured humiliation and bore the burden of lurking within the enemy's ranks for their own people, only to be eliminated by their own people in the end.
If it were Lin Feng himself, he probably would have defected long ago. He was such an indecisive person. Precisely because he couldn't do it, Lin Feng admired such heroes immensely.
After pondering for a while, still without a clear idea, Lin Feng's gaze shifted to the CIA supervisor sitting beside him.
"I have a question for you, answer me truthfully," Lin Feng said.
"Of course, Mr. Wallfacer."
"How does your CIA provide assistance to agents who have infiltrated enemy organizations?"
Although he didn't understand why Lin Feng was asking this, the CIA supervisor answered truthfully.
"We provide all discloseable intelligence and help agents climb to important positions within the enemy organization as quickly as possible to obtain more crucial intelligence."
Lin Feng waved his hand, "No, I hope you can be more general."
The CIA supervisor fell into thought, recalling his work.
"Generally speaking... it depends on the ultimate goal, whether it's to assassinate someone, steal intelligence as a mole, or be a pawn to achieve a certain objective."
"For assassination, we try to get the undercover agent as close to the target as possible. Stealing is relatively easier; by having the agent sell some discloseable intelligence, they can quickly be promoted to an important position within an organization..."
"As for achieving a certain objective, it requires a series of arrangements and personnel deployment, like creating an avalanche; the first step is to pile up snow on the mountain..."
Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded in realization.
"I understand what you mean. What you've said is very helpful to me."
That's right! It's exactly like this!
Lin Feng solidified his idea and found a direction.
Since those lurking within the ETO intended to use the Trisolarans' resources to find a path to survival for all of humanity, he could focus his actions around this point and help these people complete their plan.
Under the puzzled gaze of the CIA supervisor, Lin Feng clenched his fist and muttered to himself.
"Hmm, that's how we'll do it."
A few weeks later, Lin Feng received a summons from the Supreme Court. He was accused of 'crimes against humanity'!
Over the past few weeks, Lin Feng's image had been on the news every day, making him a hot topic of discussion.
The "Global Quantum Ghost Project" had caused a global sensation, and Lin Feng had become famous overnight, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
His phone was bombarded with harassing calls daily, and his email inbox was flooded with spam. If Lin Feng hadn't been a Wallfacer, with his residence protected by the government at the same security level as the president, someone might have already shown up to threaten him.
Public opinion continued to ferment, with governments worldwide adopting a laissez-faire attitude and not really controlling the narrative.
Why did they do this? Because they didn't want to become quantum ghosts themselves.
Government agencies aren't run by a single person. There are leaders above and various departments below. Even if a small portion of people felt that "global quantum ghostification" wasn't so bad, the majority's disapproval meant the government wouldn't agree either.
It's the same everywhere; the majority holds the power of speech.
Lin Feng had no particular thoughts about the recent events he'd experienced, not even resentment. He had anticipated this day from the very beginning.
In the original story, humanity didn't even thank Luo Ji, who saved them. Why would they thank him, Lin Feng? That was ridiculous!
"Find me the best lawyers. I'm going to sue everyone who's suing me until they don't even recognize their own mothers."
"Certainly, please wait a moment. I'll arrange it right away."
On the day the Supreme Court hearing was scheduled, the front of the courthouse was bustling with activity. Reporters from major American media outlets were packed together like sardines at the entrance.
"Look! The Wallfacer's convoy has arrived!"
Someone shouted, and a swarm of reporters raised their cameras to start broadcasting.
The convoy drove into the courthouse one after another. Lin Feng stepped out of one of the cars, adjusted his clothes, and walked towards the courtroom.
Lin Feng walked directly to the defendant's stand, sat in the chair that had been prepared for him by the court, crossed his legs, and gestured to the judge.
"Your Honor, we can begin."
