What a good person. Even though he was in danger himself and hadn't even fully explained his plan, he secretly warned him about the danger first. This teammate is too good…

Lin Feng looked at Mozi with much more sincerity.

Mozi didn't understand what Lin Feng's changing gaze meant. He subjectively categorized it as provocation, his fighting spirit soaring as he intended to break through Lin Feng's walls further, determined to thoroughly dismantle Wallfacer Feng.Taylor's disguise.

"From ancient times to the present, all weapons, in essence, are tools. It is precisely because humans understand how to create tools that they have been able to rise above the Earth's ecosystem and stand at the apex."

"If humanity cannot defeat the Trisolarans, then we must create tools that can overcome them."

"What kind of 'tool' can defeat a constantly advancing civilization? Naturally, another civilization. That's why you chose artificial intelligence."

To create an alien civilization that surpasses human civilization as a weapon against the Trisolarans?

This is too insane!

Lin Feng was shocked, or rather, terrified by this plan revealed by the Wallbreaker Mozi.

However, these were all unspoken thoughts; outwardly, he maintained his composure.

Mozi could naturally discern the hidden shock in Lin Feng's subtle movements, but this only made him feel that he had struck a chord with the Wallfacer's deepest secrets.

It was precisely because his innermost secrets were being exposed so accurately that Wallfacer Feng.Taylor was so shocked.

Mozi pressed his advantage, saying, "Unlike humans, artificial intelligence is not influenced by any inherent concepts. Its rate of self-evolution can be greatly accelerated. Such an AI civilization could potentially complete in a day the path that humanity took millions of years to traverse."

"Ignoring the rights of labor, fully utilizing all resources in the Solar System for development, and then, centuries later, when the Trisolaran Fleet arrives, they will not face humanity, but another civilization that is even more radical and powerful than humans."

According to the intelligent AI civilization described by Mozi, it would efficiently acquire all material resources in the Solar System.

Over the centuries before the Trisolaran Fleet's arrival, it would develop rapidly, surpassing both humanity and the Trisolarans in a short period. At that time, the Trisolaran Fleet would face this highly advanced intelligent AI civilization, not humanity.

This plan sounded fantastical and beautiful, but Lin Feng noticed a fatal flaw within it.

"...What about humanity?" Lin Feng asked.

"Humanity? Are you implying that the intelligent AI civilization will advance hand-in-hand with human civilization?" Mozi scoffed.

Lin Feng asked this question to inquire about the plan's details, but Mozi believed Lin Feng was making a final, desperate struggle. Once this last veil of pretense was removed, the Wallfacer would fall into the abyss.

"Please, do not try to deceive or mislead me with such clumsy lies. It's useless. Neither of us are tender children in kindergarten," Mozi stated.

"AI can develop itself rapidly. Can humans? Ethics, morality, ingrained worldviews, etc., these are all shackles placed upon humanity. What an AI can achieve, humans cannot."

"In your view, such a human civilization would only become a burden to the AI civilization, hindering its rapid development. Therefore, from the very beginning, you had no intention of deeply binding the AI civilization with human civilization."

Mozi looked at the slight change in Lin Feng's expression, becoming increasingly convinced he was correct.

He felt like an interrogator at this moment, judging a sinner named Feng.Taylor.

Lin Feng asked, "Even if what you say is true and I have such a plan, how can we guarantee that the intelligent AI civilization won't turn against us and destroy humanity? The kind of AI you're describing, since it can defeat the incoming Trisolaran Fleet, destroying human civilization would be equally effortless."

Mozi nodded. "Indeed, at first, I also found it absurd. Such a plan offers no guarantee that the intelligent AI civilization wouldn't harbor malice towards human civilization. If the AI civilization deemed humanity a threat, it would inevitably seek to destroy it."

"It wasn't until I was monitoring your subordinates' research progress that I noticed that Mechanical Dog. That's when I suddenly understood what position you intended to place humanity in."

Lin Feng was stunned. So, 'his own people' were inspired by his subordinates to formulate this plan?

"What position?" Lin Feng pressed.

Mozi smiled confidently, replying with certainty, "Pets."

"In human society, cats and dogs do not engage in the production of civilized society. They are not part of human civilization; they are merely considered human possessions."

"As long as the intelligent AI civilization does not view humanity as a whole civilization, but rather as animals with inherent affection, the AI civilization will not pose a threat to humanity."

"This is not difficult to achieve, as long as the technological gap is large enough. The Trisolarans are a clear example; they view humans as insects. A highly developed intelligent AI civilization would similarly view humans as low-intelligence insects."

"Except, in the eyes of the AI, these insects are rather 'cute'."

Civilizational competition only applies between civilizations. If humans are not a civilization, then there is no competition!

Humanity only needs to survive!

Merely living as the cats and dogs of an intelligent AI civilization!

To be honest, Lin Feng couldn't quite accept it. He was human, after all. Humans shouldn't just live for the sake of living; they should also have dignity...

However, Lin Feng then thought, that wasn't quite right. There were plenty of people in humanity who lived without dignity. For them, this seemed to make no difference.

Those who live with dignity are ultimately the minority.

After much deliberation, Lin Feng still approved of this 'Wallfacer' Mozi's 'Wallfacer Plan'.

Seeing Lin Feng's prolonged silence, Mozi, believing the Wallfacer had been completely defeated, stood up to leave.

"Mr. Taylor, I don't know if the intelligent AI civilization you envisioned can defeat the Trisolarans, but I know this is naked betrayal," Mozi said.

"You've betrayed the entire human civilization, betrayed all the humans who believed in you. Humanity will not agree to you doing this."

"The organization has already delivered your Wallfacer Plan to the heads of state of various countries. Goodbye."

Lin Feng stared blankly at Mozi's retreating back.

He left, but not without reminding him that ETO intended to use this method to target him? To make him think of countermeasures for the plan in advance? And to tell him that the real obstacle to this plan was humanity itself?

Such a formidable individual, packing so much intelligence into just a few sentences!

As Mozi left Lin Feng's residence, CIA agents hidden in the shadows silently reached for their sidearms, ready to take him down.

The ETO is humanity's great enemy, we can't let him go!

However, before the gun could even be aimed, someone beside the agent pressed it down.

"Don't do it, let him leave."

"But..."

The older agent who stopped his colleague shook his head.

"Mr. Taylor gave instructions beforehand, this is part of the plan."

"Tsk..."

The young agent reluctantly lowered his sidearm. Since this was Wallfacer Feng.Taylor's decision, there was nothing he could do.
