Who Was the Wallbreaker?

What a good person. He was clearly in danger himself and had not even explained his own plan, yet he had secretly warned him about the danger first. What an amazing teammate...

Lin Feng's gaze at Mozi grew much more sincere.

Mozi could not understand the meaning behind the change in Lin Feng's eyes. He instinctively classified it as provocation, his fighting spirit surging as he prepared to break Lin Feng's wall further, determined to completely dismantle Wallfacer Feng Taylor's disguise.

"From ancient times to the present, all weapons have essentially been tools. Humanity rose above Earth's ecosystem and stood at its peak precisely because it learned how to make tools."

"If humanity cannot defeat Trisolaris, then create a tool that can."

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

Create an alien civilization that surpassed human civilization as a weapon against the Trisolarans?

That was insane!

Lin Feng was shocked—or rather, frightened—by the plan revealed by Wallbreaker Mozi.

But that was only inwardly. On the surface, he remained calm.

Mozi could naturally read the concealed shock from Lin Feng's subtle movements, but that only made him feel he had exposed the secret hidden in the Wallfacer's heart.

Wallfacer Feng Taylor had been so shocked precisely because the secret in his heart had been revealed so accurately.

Pressing his advantage, Mozi said, "Artificial intelligence is unlike humanity. It will not be influenced by any entrenched notions, and the pace of its self-iteration can be raised to an extremely high level. Such an AI civilization might complete in a single day the path humanity took millions of years to traverse."

"Disregarding labor rights and fully exploiting every resource in the Solar System, when the Trisolaran Fleet reaches the Solar System centuries later, it will not face humanity, but another civilization—one even crazier and stronger than humanity."

According to the Intelligent AI civilization Mozi described, it would acquire every material resource in the Solar System with extreme efficiency.

Over the centuries before the Trisolaran Fleet arrived, it would develop at lightning speed, surpassing both humanity and Trisolaris in a short time. By then, what the Trisolaran Fleet would face would be this highly advanced Intelligent AI civilization, not humanity.

The plan sounded dreamy and wonderful, but Lin Feng noticed one fatal problem within it.

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

"Humanity? Are you suggesting that the Intelligent AI civilization and human civilization would advance hand in hand?" Mozi sneered.

Lin Feng had asked that question to inquire about the details of the plan, but Mozi believed he was making one final struggle. Once this last layer of pretense was stripped away, the Wallfacer would fall into the abyss.

"Please stop trying to deceive and mislead me with such clumsy lies. It is useless. Neither of us is some immature kindergarten child," Mozi said.

"Intelligent AI can develop itself at breakneck speed. Can humanity? Ethics, morality, ingrained worldviews, and so on—these are all layers of shackles wrapped around humanity. What Intelligent AI can do, humanity cannot."

"In your eyes, such a human civilization would only become a burden upon the Intelligent AI civilization and hinder its rapid development. That is why, from the very beginning, you never intended to deeply bind the Intelligent AI civilization to human civilization."

Seeing the slight movement in Lin Feng's expression, Mozi became even more convinced that he was right.

At that moment, he felt like a judge, passing judgment upon the sinner named Feng Taylor.

Lin Feng asked, "Even if things are as you say, and I did have such a plan, how could I guarantee that the Intelligent AI civilization would not turn on humanity and destroy it? Since the Intelligent AI you describe could defeat the invading Trisolaran Fleet, destroying human civilization would naturally be effortless as well."

Mozi nodded. "Indeed. At first, I also found it absurd. Such a plan offered no way to guarantee that the Intelligent AI civilization would not harbor hostility toward human civilization. If the Intelligent AI civilization judged humanity to be a threat, it would inevitably destroy it."

"Not until I monitored the progress of your subordinates' research and noticed that Mechanical Dog did I suddenly understand what position you intended to place humanity in."

Lin Feng froze. So his "own people" had been inspired by his subordinates, which was why this plan had been devised?

"What position?" Lin Feng pressed.

Mozi smiled confidently and replied with certainty, "Pets."

"In human society, cats and dogs do not participate in the production of civilized society. They are not part of human civilization; they can only be considered human property."

"As long as the Intelligent AI civilization does not regard humanity as a civilization as a whole, but rather as animals for which it has an innate fondness, the Intelligent AI civilization will not pose a threat to humanity."

"This would not be difficult to achieve. The technological gap merely needs to be great enough. Trisolaris is an obvious example. They see humanity as bugs, and the highly advanced Intelligent AI civilization would likewise see humanity as low-intelligence bugs."

"Only, in the eyes of Intelligent AI, those bugs would be rather 'cute.'"

Competition between civilizations applied only to civilizations. If humanity was not a civilization, then there would naturally be no competition!

Humanity merely needed to survive!

It would simply survive as the cats and dogs of the Intelligent AI civilization!

To be honest, Lin Feng could not quite accept that. He was human, after all. Living could not be merely about staying alive; there had to be dignity as well...

But on second thought, that was not quite right either. There were plenty of people among humanity who abandoned their dignity to live. To them, this did not seem all that different.

After all, those who lived with dignity were ultimately a minority.

After considering it from every angle, Lin Feng still approved of this "Wallfacer Plan" proposed by this "Wallfacer" Mozi.

Seeing Lin Feng remain silent for so long, Mozi, who believed he had thoroughly defeated the Wallfacer, rose to leave.

"Mr. Taylor, I do not know whether the Intelligent AI civilization you envisioned can defeat Trisolaris, but I do know that this is naked betrayal," Mozi said.

"You have betrayed all of human civilization and every human who believes in you. Humanity will not agree to let you do this."

"Your Wallfacer Plan has already been delivered by the organization to the leaders of every nation. Farewell."

Lin Feng stared blankly at Mozi's departing back.

Even as he left, he did not forget to warn him. ETO was planning to use this method to come after him? He was telling him to think of a response to the plan in advance? He was even telling him that the plan's true resistance would actually come from humanity itself?

Just a few short sentences contained so much information. What an impressive person!

Watching Mozi leave Lin Feng's residence, the CIA agent hidden in the shadows silently drew his sidearm, preparing to shoot him dead.

ETO was humanity's greatest enemy. They could not let him live!

But before the gun could be aimed, someone beside him pressed it down.

"Do not fire. Let him leave."

"But..."

The older agent who had stopped his colleague shook his head.

"Mr. Taylor instructed us beforehand. This is part of the plan."

"Tch..."

The young agent helplessly lowered his sidearm. Since it was Wallfacer Feng Taylor's decision, there was nothing they could do.
