The air in the virtual space seemed to freeze the instant they reached that conclusion.
The expressions of everyone present were exceedingly complicated. The answer was both reasonable and far beyond anyone's expectations.
To dissect Zhang Qi's Wallfacer Project, they had practically turned his entire life inside out.
From his birth, to entering university at eighteen, to earning his doctorate at twenty—those achievements were certainly astonishing, but human history had never lacked prodigies like him.
What truly kept them awake at night, what they repeatedly scrutinized, was the extraordinary efficiency Zhang Qi had displayed after becoming a Wallfacer.
Fusion engines, orbital elevators, Antigravity Systems—
Every one of those technologies was enough to be written into the annals of human civilization.
Turning theory on paper into practical engineering normally required vast amounts of time, countless trials, and repeated iterations.
Yet Zhang Qi was like a student who had obtained the answer key in advance, directly transforming those "impossible" theories into realities within reach through engineering experiments—
Based on that, they had once formed a hypothesis: Zhang Qi had directly obtained answers from some highly advanced civilization.
The reason he had only begun acting after becoming a Wallfacer was the unique nature of the Wallfacer Project—no one would question a Wallfacer's actions.
After all, every absurd and unreasonable thing a Wallfacer did could be explained away as part of the plan—
"So what do we do now?"
The fingers of King Wen of Zhou's projection lightly tapped the void, breaking the silence. "If the other side can still transmit technical data to Zhang Qi under Sophon's surveillance, then it can only mean one thing."
King Wen of Zhou's shadow lightly tapped the void with his fingers, breaking the silence. "If, under the Sophons' surveillance, they can still transmit technical information to Zhang
