How Many Plans Did He Have?

This way, even if Luo Ji was no longer the Swordholder in the future, humanity would not die quite so miserably.

The obstacle to humanity's survival had always been humanity itself. If saviors like Luo Ji were everywhere, could they still be called saviors?

Dark Forest Deterrence was ultimately not a long-term solution.

Just as Lin Feng was considering the course of the future, the Spanish representative raised his microphone to object.

"We already have the Reinforcements for the Future Plan. Your plan is completely unnecessary."

Hearing the plan he had racked his brains to devise dismissed as unnecessary, Lin Feng could not hold back and replied mockingly.

"Spanish representative, do you suddenly understand how wars between space civilizations are fought? This is no longer your sixteenth century. Spain's sailing warships cannot fly into space. Face reality!"

The Spanish representative's face immediately darkened. He wanted to curse back, but Lin Feng was not about to give him the chance.

Lin Feng turned his attention to the entire hall. His expression was solemn as he addressed the representatives of every nation with utmost seriousness.

"Everyone, look at the major powers today. Which war between them is not fought as an integrated system? Sea, land, air—even the entire nation mobilizes together! What can a handful of soldiers sent into the future possibly accomplish? It would not even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!"

"The Trisolarans are already attacking us with everything they have! Our technology is clearly inferior to theirs, so who gave you the confidence to think we do not need to fight Trisolaris with everything we have?"

"From the processing of basic components to top-level combat command, the entire system must possess the resolve and courage to fight the enemy to the death. That is the true foundation of the future human fleet's strength!"

Lin Feng's speech seemed to have moved the entire Planetary Defense Council, and the hall once again erupted into discussion.

Lin Feng's plan received the PDC's approval. The third Wallfacer Plan he had announced made the front pages of major newspapers and news outlets the next day.

Across major social platforms, public opinion split into two camps. One side was profoundly disappointed by the plan.

Those disappointed people were generally adults and the elderly.

"What is this? Mental control? In the end, are we even going to lose our freedom of thought?"

"No, this is a faith relief plan. Hahaha." Someone mocked it.

"Soon, we will not even have freedom of speech. We will become nothing more than components of human civilization."

"I am already used to it. Isn't human society exactly like this?"

"Humanity will be finished before Trisolaris arrives."

The other side, in contrast, strongly supported Lin Feng's plan. These people were generally minors.

"Did you hear? Classes will be held in the virtual world from now on. We can log in from home and go straight to school. No more worrying about being late—we can sleep a little longer."

"And if we sneak in a nap or zone out during class, the teachers will not notice. For online homework, we just need to find someone who finished it and copy-paste it. That is much easier than the miserable homework-copying we used to do."

"Everyone, no matter what anyone says from now on, I am Feng Taylor's loyal fan."

"I heard Feng Taylor is also developing a space game that is one hundred percent true to reality. Players can fly spaceships they built themselves and form fleets in the game to battle other players."

"Huh? Space battles? I am a peaceful farming player."

"Farming players can play too. The factories in the game need to be conceived and designed by the players themselves. How efficiently the production lines operate depends entirely on the players' creativity. The map is set in the Solar System. If they can pull it off, players can even colonize the outer Solar System in the game."

"That sounds pretty interesting."

"Have the news been released?" Lin Feng asked.

The team's expert nodded. "Yes. The internet is in complete chaos right now. Every kind of opinion is out there."

"Good. The design for the game pods must be completed as quickly as possible," Lin Feng said.

As long as there were voices online, that was enough. Silence would be frightening. The more people talked about it, the more attention it received, and the greater its influence on human society as a whole.

"The VR gear already exists. We are not developing something from Non-existence; we are integrating and modifying what is already there. I believe it can enter the market very soon," Lin Feng said.

If VR gear did not exist and virtual games were not yet so mature, Lin Feng might not have acted so hastily.

But now that the foundation was already there, Lin Feng had no reason to wait. He could immediately move forward with bold, sweeping action.

"Why add a life-support system in particular?"

The team's expert asked uneasily. He worried that Lin Feng wanted all humanity to stay in game pods twenty-four hours a day, which would inevitably lead to severe consequences.

For example, an increase in obesity among all humanity.

"Why? Of course, so those people can stay in the game pods longer and move the core of their social lives online," Lin Feng replied as if it were only natural.

"If so, the social consequences it would cause..." The team's expert trailed off.

Lin Feng waved a dismissive hand. He intended to radically transform human society as a whole. If he feared a few social problems, how could he transform anything?

"Minor matters. Could any problem be greater than Trisolaris? Greater than ETO?"

"Before the crisis facing All Humanity, a few social problems are nothing but bullshit. Go ahead and do it. Do not hold back over anything."

"This is a battlefield—the battlefield where you fight Trisolaris."

The team's expert froze for a moment, especially at Lin Feng's final words.

Thinking of the future crisis of the Trisolaran invasion, the team's expert gritted his teeth and agreed.

"I understand what you mean. I will convey your exact words to the rest of the team."

Meanwhile, inside the stone chamber within that Mayan pyramid in the Three-Body Game, ETO was also holding a meeting concerning Lin Feng.

It was truly absurd. For other Wallfacers, ETO only needed to hold one meeting, yet because of Lin Feng, they kept convening Wallbreaker meetings again and again.

"Feng Taylor has announced another new Wallfacer Plan."

"Why does he have so many Wallfacer Plans? It is simply endless."

"Has he become addicted to us breaking his wall?"

There were all kinds of voices within ETO, most of them complaints about Lin Feng. Most ETO members believed that when Lin Feng claimed he had many plans, he was merely boasting or deceiving them. They simply did not believe he could come up with so many Wallfacer Plans.

Now, they had no choice but to believe it.

The arrival of Qin Shi Huang, Mozi, and the other ETO higher-ups quieted the noisy hall.

"Feng Taylor's Wallfacer Plan must be broken. The Lord requires us to break humanity's Labyrinth of Lies for it."

"Feng Taylor's plan is clearly aimed at humanity itself. He intends to confront the Lord by adjusting humanity itself. I see a very dangerous signal in it. This plan is entirely different in concept from his previous ones."

Qin Shi Huang spoke quietly after taking his seat, and the other ETO higher-ups nodded in agreement.

King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang said, "One of the Lord's orders is for us to prevent humanity from leaving the Solar System. This order is on the same level as killing Luo Ji."

"Shiens is already in hibernation, and Radiiaz's wall can wait to be broken. The organization should focus primarily on breaking Feng Taylor's plan—or even sabotaging it."
