After Tang Yi finished speaking, the venue burst into applause

The Wall-Facing Project, which has only been proposed for a year, will be abolished. Although this was the result of intense discussions within governments and the United Nations Council on Planetary Defense, it still caused an uproar in world public opinion. However, this time the alien crisis has made human society unprecedentedly united, united with the outside world, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid that it would be a hundred years before the human race abolishes the wall-facing project.

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down, and then the United Nations Secretary-General Say introduced the human losses of the war and future plans, as well as the announcement of the cancellation of the wall-facing plan. I saw that except for Luo Ji, the other two people facing the wall were sitting below, their faces were not very good, for them, I am afraid that the rest of their lives will not be too good, they have tasted the taste of unfettered power, and then they are ordinary people, even if they are the heads of a small country, I am afraid that they will be tasteless.

The United Nations and any other national organizations will no longer recognize the facers and will not provide them with any funds, which means that the staff they have just organized will be history.

Rediaz, the president of the small Latin American country, looked the most dissatisfied, stood up and shouted: "None of your plans will be of any use in the end, and I will not sign this statement of voluntarily ending the power of the wall-facers." ”

Say snorted coldly and said, "Rediaz, after this meeting, there will be a separate meeting to discuss your whereabouts, please be patient." ”

Listening to Say's tone, it didn't seem like a good result.

After this meeting, it was the last hearing held by the Planetary Defense Council, and the major countries of the world also sent representatives to attend, and Tang Yi also sat quietly below, attending in person as a representative of the Chinese side.

At the beginning of the meeting, the United States, Britain, France, and Germany jointly threw out a proposal calling for Rediaz to be brought to trial by an international tribunal for crimes against humanity.

Rediaz looked at the representatives of several countries viciously, and said: "Even if I am not a wall-facing person, I am also a powerful person, why are you guys framing me?" ”

The representative of the United States spoke: "Rediaz, you may not have known that just a few weeks before the invasion of the alien fleet, your wallbreaker had submitted to us your report on your strategic intentions, and after extensive investigation, we believe that the strategic intentions of Rediaz as announced by the wallbreakers are true and credible. Originally, we had planned to disqualify you from facing the wall and judge you, but because of the alien invasion, it was delayed, so you have to wait until now. ”

Ignoring Rediaz's angry glare, the representative of the United States continued: "Now we are confronted with a man whose crimes are insignificant in comparison with the crimes he has committed. In all the existing laws, there is not even a clause for his crime that applies to him. That is why we propose that the criminal clause of the crime of extermination of life on earth be added to international law to try Rediaz. ”

Rediaz looked relaxed at the meeting, and he sneered and said to the American representative: "Hehe, you guys have wanted to get rid of me for a long time, haven't you?" You've been holding different wall-facers with double standards since the beginning of Project Face-Face, and I'm the last person you want. Now that the Wall-Facing Project is over, and you're still going to settle accounts with me and put me on trial? What a joke! ”

The representative of the United Kingdom retorted: "There is no basis whatsoever for what Ray Diaz the Wall Facer has just said. In fact, it is the very countries he accuses of investing heavily in his strategic plan far more than in the other three facers. ”

"Yes," Rediaz nodded, "but I've invested heavily in my plan because you really want to get a stellar hydrogen bomb. ”

"Ridiculous, what do we want that thing for?" The representative of the United States asked rhetorically, "It is a very inefficient weapon in the space battlefield, and the 20 million-ton hydrogen bomb that once appeared on the earth is no longer of actual combat significance, let alone a monster of more than 300 million tons." If we go according to your plan, we will spend too much energy in the wrong direction, not only delaying the precious time for humanity to improve itself against foreign enemies, but also at the risk of extinction, and your intentions are really terrifying. ”

Rediaz calmly retorted, "But on the battlefields on the surface of other planets in the solar system, the stellar hydrogen bomb is the most effective weapon, especially in wars between humans. On the inhospitable surface of other planets, in the event of a war between human beings, regardless of civilian casualties and environmental damage, they can safely carry out large-scale destruction, or even carry out a devastating sweep of the entire planet's surface, and then the stellar hydrogen bomb can play its role. You must be soberly aware that as humanity expands into the solar system, the disputes over the Earth world will inevitably extend to other planets. “

"Even though we now have a common enemy like the Three-Body World, or an unknown alien creature that suddenly appeared some time ago, this cannot be changed, and you are preparing for this. It is politically unreasonable to develop a superweapon against humanity itself at this time, so you will use me to do it. ”

"This is nothing but the absurd logic of a terrorist and a dictator, and Rediaz is one such person, and with his status and power, the wall-facing project itself becomes as dangerous as the Three-Body Invasion, and the wall-facing plan itself has many loopholes, and when this uncontrolled and unfettered power is in the hands of terrorists like Rediaz, we must take decisive measures to correct this mistake," said the representative of the United States. ”

"They walk the talk." Rediaz turned to the rotating chair and said, "I know that the CIA guys are right now outside the building, and I'm going to be arrested as soon as I walk out after the meeting." ”

The Chairman-in-Office glanced in the direction of the representative of the United States and saw that the latter was intently playing with the pencil in his hand. The current rotating chair is Garnin, who became the first rotating chair of the PDC at the beginning of the Facewall program.

Garnin looked at the representative of the American side and said dissatisfiedly: "Rediaz the Wall-Facer, if what you say is true, then this approach is not appropriate, as long as the principles of the Wall-Facing Project continue to be valid, the Wall-Facing people enjoy legal immunity, and any words and deeds they have during their tenure as Wall-Faces cannot be used as evidence of guilt in the eyes of the law." "And, mind you, this is an international territory." The representative of Japan said.

"Does that mean......" the American representative cocked up his pencil, "and when Rediaz buries a million super-nuclear bombs on Mercury and prepares to detonate them, human society will still not be able to incriminate him?" ”

"Restricting and stopping the strategic plan of the wall-facer who exhibits dangerous tendencies is not the same thing as the wall-facer's own legal immunity under the corresponding provisions of the wall-facing act." Garnin said.

"Rediaz's crimes have crossed the line of legal immunity and must be punished, which is a prerequisite for the continued existence of Project Facing the Wall." This was stated by the representative of the United Kingdom.

"I bring to the attention of Mr. President and delegates." Rediaz stood up from his seat and said, "This is the Planetary Defense Committee's Facing Wall Plan hearing, not my own trial courtroom. ”

The American representative interrupted him with a sneer, saying: "Believe me, you will quickly stand in that courtroom." ”

"No, this detail is important, and for now, let's assume that my strategic intentions as announced by the wall breakers are real." Rediaz insisted, "Just now the representative mentioned that when a million hydrogen bombs are deployed on Mercury and ready to detonate, then I will issue a declaration to the omnipresent Tomoko to the three-body world that mankind will die together, what will happen at that moment?" ”

"The reaction of the Trisolaran is unpredictable, but on Earth, there must be billions of people who want to break your neck, just as you did to your own wall-breaker." This was stated by the representative of France.

"That's right, so I have to do something about it, you see, this is it."

Rediaz raised his left hand and showed the venue a watch on his wrist, which was all black, twice the size of the average men's watch in terms of dial area and thickness, but it was not huge on Rediaz's thick arm, "This is a signal transmitter, and the signal it sends out goes directly to Mercury through a space link." ”

"Use it to give a detonation signal?" Someone asked.

"On the contrary, it sends a signal that it will not detonate."

In the end, the United Nations and representatives of various countries, under the threat of Rediaz, still let him return to China, this process Tang Yi saw in his eyes, although he knew the real situation, but he did not break it, let Rediaz return to China to accept the anger of the people. Although Rediaz had this idea, in fact, according to the information that Jiangnan told him, he did not have time to implement it, and the hydrogen bombs deployed on Mercury were far from the one million he said, and the human society had just completed one-tenth of his plan by increasing its horsepower production, and the hydrogen bombs delivered to the appropriate location were only about 50,000, which was already an impossible task under the technical level of previous years.

The representatives of the United Nations, in order not to take risks, decided to let Rediaz go home.

Caracas was as sunny as New York, and Rediaz walked down the gangway, smelling the tropics he was familiar with, and he bent down, kissed the land of his homeland for a long time, and then drove into the city, escorted by a large number of military and police. After half an hour of driving on the winding road, the convoy entered the city of the capital and drove into the center of the city, Plaza Bolívar. Rediaz gets out of the car in front of the bronze statue of Bolívar and stands on the pedestal of the bronze statue, above him, the hero who defeated Spain and tried to establish the United Republic of Gran Colombia in South America, galloping in armor. In front of him, a crowd of fanatical people boiled in the sun, people rushed forward, and the ranks of the military and police tried their best to block them, even firing guns into the air, but the surging crowd finally broke the military police line and swarmed towards the living "Bolívar" under the bronze statue.

Ray Diaz raised his hands and with tears in his eyes, he called affectionately to the crowd of people who were rushing towards him: "Ah, my people! ”

The first stone thrown by his people hit his raised left hand, the second hit him in the chest, and the third hit him in the forehead and knocked him down. Then the people's stones rained down and almost buried his lifeless body. The last stone that was thrown at Rediaz was thrown by an old lady, who struggled to hold the stone until she reached Rediaz's corpse and said in Spanish:

"Wicked man, you want to kill everyone, but there is my grandson in it, and you want to kill my grandson!"

As she spoke, she slammed the stone in her hand into the shattered head that Rediaz had peeked out of the pile of rocks with all her might.

At this moment, the three-body world has also become a little hesitant about the changes that occurred in human civilization a few days ago, and the unknown civilization that appeared a few days ago, according to the information sent back by Tomoko, the intelligent creatures on the starship do seem to be no different from the humans in the earth civilization.

If you want to say that there is a difference, there is also a difference, because the ability of each of those intelligent creatures has been developed to the limit of the human beings on the earth, and they are equipped with a device to enhance their abilities, so they are probably gods or superhuman beings in front of the earthlings, and the immortal cultivation plan carried out by the human beings on the earth a few days ago has also made some people initially have this level of ability, so to speak, the civilization represented by the starship is most likely human civilization itself.

When the scientists of the Three-Body World came to this seemingly impossible conclusion, the entire Three-Body World fell into infinite fear. They now have several main problems. One is that the unknown civilization came from the depths of the universe and even mastered some kind of space shuttle technology that he has not yet mastered, so what is the relationship between this civilization and the human civilization on the earth? Second, since that civilization can come to the earth, does it mean that other civilizations can also come, that is, human civilization is exposed? So do you want to continue flying to Earth? The third is whether the wisdom of the three-body civilization itself launched into human civilization and the communication and liaison established with human civilization will expose itself in front of this high-level civilization. The powerful space scanning device seems to have discovered the existence of Zhizi, but it has not attacked Zhizi at the microscopic level.

At this moment, the home planet of the three-body civilization has just completed a technological revolution and there has been a technological explosion. In other words, it was only one-tenth of the speed of light, but now it can reach half the speed of light. After years of research on human civilization, it was found that although this civilization existed for a short time, it had many inexplicable phenomena, such as the pyramids of ancient Egypt, Stonehenge, the mystery of Atlantis, etc., the sociologists of the Trisolarans boldly hypothesized that this group of unknown civilizations that suddenly appeared is probably the ancient earth civilization itself, which left the earth a long time ago and developed into a super civilization, and later returned to the earth in an instant through the marks made at this location of the earth, through space technology.
