I Understand

"That's true, but this method involves payload mass. The space fleet is currently being assembled, and sending every gram of mass into space consumes a great deal of resources," the CIA director replied.

After hearing the CIA director's explanation, Lin Feng paused for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead in realization.

"I nearly forgot—the Space Elevator hasn't been completed yet."

"In the final analysis, it's still a shortage of labor. If we had hundreds of millions of workers who only required cheap maintenance, we could build more than ten Space Elevators at once, vastly increasing the payload we could send into space in a short period. The space fleet could be assembled faster as well, and many problems could be solved."

The CIA director nodded. "You're absolutely right."

Lin Feng continued, "This situation fully demonstrates the importance of my plan. Humanity's current workforce is still far from sufficient. Enabling Intelligent AI to handle complex tasks and freeing humanity from low-skill work is the highest priority."

"Then according to your plan, when will those people in the Macro-electron Energy Storage Project be freed from low-skill work?" the CIA director asked.

Under the Intelligent Revolution Plan, humanity would be liberated from tedious, repetitive physical labor and take on more complex, varied intellectual work.

That being the case, the workers in the Macro-electron Energy Storage Project naturally could not continue working as construction workers under the 007 Work System. They had to transition into intellectual labor.

"Leave that to the United Nations. I'm not in charge now. I can't judge the timing properly, and it wouldn't be good if workers ended up unemployed and starving to death," Lin Feng said.

The Intelligent Revolution Plan—Lin Feng's original intention in designing it had not been to fight the Trisolaran Fleet either. It was to accelerate humanity's progress into the universe, and to do so in a more stable manner.

In the original story, a considerable portion of humanity had remained on Earth. Lin Feng's idea was to send all of them into space, while Earth and every planet in the Solar System would become resource sites.

Humanity entering space on a massive scale was something the Trisolarans did not want to see. Once humanity scattered into space on a large scale, the Trisolarans would be unable to completely exterminate all humans.

After all, the universe was simply too vast.

Alpha Centauri, Trisolaran Homeworld. The Trisolarans were engaged in a fierce discussion over what was happening on Earth.

"Humanity is accelerating its push into space. ETO is completely unreliable."

"ETO said that the issue of who would leave and who would stay would result in no one being able to leave. They're only entering space; they won't leave the Solar System," another Trisolaran retorted.

Upon hearing their colleague mention ETO, the other Trisolarans immediately objected.

"You believe ETO's words? Have you forgotten that humans are better at using lies than we are?"

Yes, even now, some Trisolarans still harbored an extreme distrust of ETO. Even though ETO had truly devoted everything to the Trisolaran cause and would die without regret for it, they still could not completely earn the Trisolarans' trust.

To the Trisolarans, humans without transparent thoughts were each as dangerous as venomous snakes.

Of course, not all Trisolarans were so stubborn. Even with transparent thoughts and an easy ability to understand one another, it was impossible for every Trisolaran's views to be one hundred percent identical.

"They truly are giving everything for us right now. That is an objective fact."

"But they have leaked some intelligence to human governments. That is also an objective fact."

The two sides split into factions and argued without end. Ever since the Trisolarans had realized that humans were capable of deception, the debate over ETO had never ceased.

One group of Trisolarans was willing to accept ETO into their camp, while the other firmly opposed it. They believed ETO was also unworthy of their trust.

"Enough. There is no need to waste time on an issue that has already been settled. ETO can be trusted for now."

The Leader stopped their argument, and both factions quickly fell silent.

The Leader's gaze settled on the screen, which contained all the information on Lin Feng.

"We must take action regarding Wallfacer Feng Taylor," The Leader said.

Japan. Bill Shiens received an unexpected visitor today.

"I'm surprised you actually came to visit me."

"I still possess basic manners," Lin Feng said.

Somewhat unaccustomed to it, Lin Feng changed his sitting posture, shifting from formal Japanese kneeling to sitting cross-legged on the cushion.

"Sorry, I'm really not used to it." Lin Feng gave an awkward chuckle.

"It's fine. I wasn't used to it the first time either."

Bill Shiens shook his head gently and elegantly, poured Lin Feng a cup of tea, and said, "As far as I know, ever since becoming a Wallfacer, you've rarely even gone out. You leave everything to others or handle it through video calls. Why did you suddenly find the leisure to come all the way here?"

As a fellow Wallfacer, Bill Shiens naturally kept an eye on Lin Feng's situation.

Lin Feng's uncharacteristic trip to Japan made him very curious about the reason behind it.

"It's to ensure my personal safety. ETO is desperate to kill me, after all. Being watched so closely is exhausting too." Lin Feng shrugged indifferently.

His reasons for coming to Japan were not particularly complicated. He simply wanted to soak in a hot spring and take care of some business while he was at it.

"I can more or less guess why you came this time. It's for your Intelligent Revolution Plan, isn't it?" Bill Shiens asked.

Lin Feng nodded. "Yes. I want Intelligent AI to be capable of undertaking more complex work, but there are many problems to solve. One of them is algorithms."

"So you came to ask for a backup of the Human Brain algorithm?"

"Yes, that's my purpose. In Human Brain research, Mr. Shiens, you and your team are among the very best in the world."

Bill Shiens's plan was to develop the human brain, allowing future humans to become smarter.

As for the Trisolaran Fleet, it would be left to highly intelligent future humans, whose wisdom had been continuously optimized over several centuries.

Of course, that was merely the public plan. The true Wallfacer Plan was another matter.

However, regardless of which plan it was, Bill Shiens had gained access to the world's most advanced research team and scientific data on the Human Brain.

That was why Lin Feng had come to Bill Shiens. Human Brain algorithms could help Intelligent AI solve complex work-related problems.

Bill Shiens had no reason to object. Lin Feng's request was for humanity's sake, so he gladly nodded in agreement.

"Sure. I'll have my team send the materials over to you."

Elsewhere, unbeknownst to Lin Feng and Bill Shiens, an ETO member watched them through Sophon's surveillance and sneered coldly.

His expression made it seem as though he had seen through some earth-shattering secret.

"Hehehe... Feng Taylor, you still can't break that old habit of yours..."

"Hasn't the Ball Lightning incident taught you enough of a lesson?"
