Chapter 235: I'm the One Who Faces the Wall

Pang Xuelin showed a smile on his face, he could see that Sayi was deliberately whetting everyone's appetite!

If you are a wall-facing person, whether it is a designer of the "Wall Facing Project", a former ETO member, or a top mathematician, there are too many places to be talked about by the media compared to the other four wall-facing people.

But this is exactly what Pang Xuelin wants to achieve.

Fame is a very mysterious thing, sometimes it seems useless, but other times, fame can help people do great things.

In the original book, the wall-facing project failed one after another, and by two hundred years later, it had become an ancient joke.

In order to verify the correctness of the dark forest theory, Luo Ji used the sunmirror reflection effect to send a piece of information about the position of a star 60 light-years away from the earth to outer space, and was ridiculed by later generations as a wizard from the East.

Pang Xuelin didn't want his plan to face the wall and end up like this.

So, from now on, he has to make himself high-profile and become the leader of the wall-facing plan.

If necessary, he even needs to interfere with the decision-making of several other facers.

He must convince everyone that the Wall Project is truly the only strategic plan that can save all mankind!

On the rostrum, Say's voice continued.

"After the advent of the three-body crisis, we have noticed the following facts: there is more and more evidence that more and more Zhizi are constantly reaching the solar system and entering the earth, and this process is still going on today. Therefore, for the enemy, the current earth is already a completely transparent world, for them, everything in this world is like an open book ready to read, and mankind has no secrets to speak of. ”

"At present, the mainstream defense program that has been launched by the international community, whether it is its overall strategic thinking, or the tiniest technical and military details, is completely exposed to the enemy's field of vision, in all conference rooms, in all filing cabinets, in all computer hard drives and memory, Tomoko's eyes are everywhere. A plan, a program, a deployment, no matter how big or small, will be revealed at the enemy command four light-years away when they appear on Earth, and any form of communication within humanity will lead to leaks. ”

"But, so far, human beings have secrets, and our secrets are the inner world of each of us. Tomoko can understand human language and can read printed words and information stored in various computer media at super high speeds, but they can't read human thoughts, so as long as they don't communicate with the outside world, everyone is an eternal secret to Tomoko, which is the basis of the Wall Project. ”

"The core of the wall-facing plan is to select a group of strategic plan makers and leaders, who completely rely on their own thinking to make strategic plans, without any form of communication with the outside world, the real strategic ideas of the plan, the steps to be completed and the final purpose are only hidden in their brains, we call them wall-facers. In the process of leading the implementation of these strategic plans, the thoughts and behaviors of the wall-facing people to the outside world should be completely false, and they should be carefully planned to disguise, mislead, and deceive, and what the wall-facing people want to mislead and deceive is the whole world, including the enemy and themselves, and finally build a huge and confusing maze of illusions, so that the enemy will lose his correct judgment in this maze, and delay as much as possible the time for him to determine our true strategic intentions. ”

"The Wall-Facing will be granted high powers, allowing them to mobilize and use a portion of the war resources that Earth already has. During the execution of the strategic plan, the wall-facing person does not have to give any explanation for his actions and orders, no matter how incomprehensible such behavior. The actions of the Wall-Faces will be monitored and controlled by the United Nations Planetary Defense Council, which is the only body that has the power to veto the Wall-Facers directives in accordance with the United Nations Wall-Facing Act. ”

"In order to ensure the continuity of the wall-facing project, all wall-facing people will use hibernation techniques to cross time until they reach the time of the final battle, during which time and under what circumstances they will wake up, and how long each awakening period will be, is at the discretion of the wall-facers. For the next four centuries, the United Nations Facing Act will exist as an international law with the same status as the Charter of the United Nations, which, together with the corresponding laws enacted by States, will ensure the implementation of the strategic plan of the Facers. ”

"The wall-facing ones will undertake the most difficult mission in the history of mankind, they are the real loners, they will completely close their hearts to the whole world and even the entire universe, and the only thing they can talk to and communicate with, their only spiritual dependence, is themselves. They will walk alone through the long years with this great mission, and here I would like to express my deep respect to them on behalf of human society. ”

"Now, in the name of the United Nations, I will announce the five Wall-Facing Ones finally selected by the United Nations Planetary Defense Council......"

"The first wall-facer, Frederick Taylor!"

Amid the applause from the audience, Taylor calmly walked up to the podium, shook Say's hand, and then stepped aside, turned around, and faced the venue.

With a faint smile on his face, no one could tell what was going on in the mind of the former US Secretary of Defense right now.

"The second wall-facer, Manuel Rediaz!"

The South American strongman stepped up to the rostrum with a firm step, his eyes shining with a scorching light.

After shaking Say's hand, Rediaz came to Taylor.

There was a whisper from the audience, and Rediaz has always been known for his anti-American stance.

This pair of former enemies are now standing one step away, and they don't know what will happen.

Taylor smiled and reached out first, and said a few words to Rediaz, who then reached out to shake Taylor's hand, and the two whispered a few words, and then separated, Rediaz turned around and stood beside Taylor.

"The third wall-facer, Bill Hines!"

With a smile on his face and a brisk walk to the podium, Bill Hines was a scholar-turned-bureaucrat with a personable demeanor and a good temperament, and he was internationally acclaimed.

Hines shook hands with Say, Taylor, and Rediaz respectively, and then stood beside Rediaz.

Offstage, Hines's wife, Keiko Yamasaki, was covering her mouth with her hands and looking at her husband with affection.

Pang Xuelin's gaze swept over Keiko's face, this couple is quite interesting.

One is a wall-facing person, and the other is a wall-breaker.

Entangled in time for hundreds of years.

However, Pang Xuelin did not have the idea of exposing the identity of Keiko Shan in a short period of time.

In the future, thanks to the help of his wife, Hines was able to make the Thought Seal. (Thought seal: that is, a certain proposition can be engraved into a person's brain through a machine and equipment, so that it can be subconsciously convinced)

That thing will be of great use to Pang Xuelin in the future.

Amid the applause, Say's voice continued: "The fourth wall-facing person, Dr. Luo Ji! ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, if the first three wall-facing people are all internationally well-known figures, it is not surprising, then the fourth wall-facing person is surprising.

"Luo Ji, who is this guy?"

"It seems to be a Chinese."

"Why the Planetary Defense Council (PDC) chose him."

"I don't know, maybe there's something outstanding......"

Someone in the audience was whispering.

Pang Xuelin turned his head and saw that after Luo Ji heard his name, he stood up a little dazedly, and then stepped onto the rostrum under the guidance of a United Nations official.

Pang Xuelin turned sideways and asked Kante intentionally or unintentionally: "Who is this person and why did you choose him?" ”

Kanter shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the person selected by the PDC always has his own reasons." ”

Pang Xuelin smiled and didn't say anything more.

This swinger brother, I'm afraid I never thought that when he was sweeping the grave of his high school classmate Yang Dong last year, he accidentally met Ye Wenjie, and the conversation between him and Ye Wenjie about cosmic sociology would bring such a huge change to his life.

Luo Ji walked up to the rostrum with some mechanics, shook Say's hand, and then stood beside Hines in confusion.

Say smiled and continued, "Next, I will announce the fifth wall-facing ......"

This time, Say didn't just pronounce each other's names, as he did with the previous faces, but gave a long introduction first.

"The identity of this wall-facing person is quite special, it can be said that without him, there would be no wall-facing plan! He is the founder of the Wall Project, he is a former ETO core member, it is with his help that we can get all the information about the three-body civilization in the hands of ETO, he is also a top mathematician, in the past year, his theory and research results, propelled mankind in the field of mathematics and natural sciences, a big step forward, at the same time, he is also the youngest of the five Wall Facers. He is our fifth wall-facer, Professor Pang Xuelin! ”

Say's words fell, and the scene was in an uproar.

Pang Xuelin got up slowly, and on the big screen, his figure appeared.

The eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on him.

At this moment, not only the scene of the wall-facing conference, but all the people around the world who were watching the live broadcast focused their eyes on Pang Xuelin.

The media reporters who were excitedly writing before quickly diverted their attention from Luo Ji.

After all, compared to Luo Ji, who has no reputation but no amazing background, Pang Xuelin really has too many things to excavate.

In particular, the identity of a former ETO member is simply a news treasure.

……

Beijing, the canteen of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

While eating, Zhuang Yanzheng and his classmates watched the live broadcast of the wall-facing conference on TV.

When Say read out Pang Xuelin's name, and at the same time the camera hit Pang Xuelin, Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and even the chopsticks in his hand fell on the plate with a bang.

"Yan Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, no...... Nothing ......."

Zhuang Yan hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, a little distracted.

"Hey, I didn't expect that there were two wall-facing people in our China, that Dr. Luo Ji is just that, this Professor Pang is too handsome, he is actually the founder of the wall-facing project, a former ETO member, it's really incredible......"

"Oh...... He's pretty good......"

Zhuang Yan looked at Pang Xuelin's figure on TV with some distraction.

Although she had long guessed that Pang Xuelin's identity was not ordinary, she did not expect that the other party would be the founder of the Face Wall Project and a former member of ETO.

"I don't know what Brother Dang has experienced in the past......"

Zhuang Yan sighed in his heart.

……

With a faint smile on his face, Pang Xuelin walked up to the rostrum unhurriedly and shook hands with Say.

"Ms. Say, thank you for your hard work this time!"

Say smiled, "I'm nothing, Professor Pang, I hope that you and your wall-facing plan can bring surprises to us humans!" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled: "Definitely! ”

Then, Pang Xuelin shook hands with Taylor, Ray Diaz, Hines and Luo Ji one by one.

When shaking hands with Luo Ji, perhaps because of the shock of announcing Pang Xuelin's identity just now, or because of the intimacy of the two being Chinese, Luo Ji seemed to recover from his confusion and said: "Professor Pang, you are the maker of the wall-facing plan, do you know why PDC chose me to be the wall-facing person?" ”

Pang Xuelin shook his head and said: "Dr. Luo Ji, I also just know all the candidates for the wall-facing person, but I think since the PDC chose you as the wall-facing person, there must be their reasons, and you should try to find the answer yourself." ”

"Oh!"

Luo Ji nodded thoughtfully, and then, he suddenly asked, "Can I refuse this wall-facing identity?" ”

Pang Xuelin looked at Luo Ji with a smile and said, "You can try." ”

"Oh!"

Luo Ji nodded a little blankly, he faintly felt that Pang Xuelin's smile just now had a different meaning, but he didn't understand what it meant.

He has not yet realized the nature of the identity of the wall-facer, and the wall-facer mission does not need to ask the candidate for advice before it is delivered; And once the mission and identity of the wall-facing person are given, it is impossible to refuse or give up.

This impossibility does not come from anyone's coercion, but is a cold logic dictated by the nature of the wall-facing plan.

The wall-facing project requires that the wall-facing person can deceive not only the Trisolarans, but also all mankind.

Therefore, when a person becomes a wall-facer, an invisible and impenetrable barrier is immediately erected between him and ordinary people.

Even if the wall-facing person chooses to refuse, how will others know if the wall-facing person is already working?

That's the core of Project Facing the Wall, its logic is cold and perverted, yet as solid as the iron ring that holds Prometheus together.

It's an irrevocable spell, and it's impossible for the Wall-Facing to break it on their own.

After determining the candidate for the face of the wall, Pang Xuelin and the others were taken to the first row of the audience to sit down, and then went through a series of procedures.

Finally, Say announced that Project Facer had officially begun.
