Chapter 21: Taylor

Taylor didn't appear much in the days that followed, or at the very least, he was no longer seen in the media outlets that frequently reported on the Project Facer.

After all, he is a former U.S. minister, representing the former number one power, so he is actually probably the one with the most authority and available resources among the four facers, so he can now be said to be completely isolated from the world.

In Jupiter's inner base, Taylor, who first came here, couldn't help but be shocked by the magnificent and terrifying scenery outside the protection. Finally, under the guidance of a staff member, he met Li Yi.

Looking at this "alien visitor" who appeared at the United Nations Wall Project meeting five years ago and announced his identity, and thinking of the distant and nearby Trisolar System, Taylor's feelings are really complicated.

"Hello, Dr. Li Yi." He greeted Li Yi first.

"What's the matter, did you come to me for something this time?" Li Yi asked him.

"When I saw on top secret documents that you were able to build a base inside Jupiter, I was very skeptical, because the environment here was so harsh, but when I actually came here...... It's amazing, do you all have such powerful science? ”

"Actually, it's nothing, compared to those ...... Well, Mr. Taylor, I heard that your plan has been broken? Li Yi was halfway through speaking, but suddenly stopped, and asked Taylor instead.

Taylor didn't have the same appearance as when he went to Luo Ji before: "Yes, my plan has been discovered, so I decided to give up." ”

"Give up? You know, even if you kill yourself, it's entirely possible that people will see this as part of the plan to face the wall. Li Yi had this idea when he was looking at the three-body problem, so at this time he wanted to ask Taylor what he thought.

"I couldn't care so much anymore, I was just thinking about death. It's part of the Wall Project, it doesn't matter anymore. I don't want to continue this plan anymore. Taylor seems to be tired of the wall-facing project.

"Then why did you contact me this time?" Li Yi said that he did not understand Taylor's approach.

"I'm here for those macroatomic nuclei that I've collected. It's a good place for them. ”

"Why do you think that? It stands to reason that ...... "Li Yi didn't say the rest of the words, but Taylor knew what he wanted to say:

"In today's world, the country is not an obstacle, whether it is different skin colors, different beliefs, or different cultures, there is no difference for the Trisolaran people. But those people on Wall Street don't think so, they just release their technology little by little that is decades beyond the world average, and they are even delusional about hindering nuclear fusion research in order to maintain the stability of oil prices! shit! A bunch of idiots! ”

Li Yi looked at Taylor, who was a little out of control: "Then why are you giving me this?" He pointed to the macro-nuclear warehouse he had moved from the base's spaceport.

"Because in you, I can feel a group of people who are for the greatness of humanity." Taylor was a bit awkward, but Li Yi understood.

"Okay, so what's next for you?" Li Yi asked Taylor, and now it seems that the wall-facing person may be a little relieved of his burden, "You don't want to be like Luo Ji and find your own Garden of Eden to live in, right?" ”

"How so? Although I envy Dr. Luo Ji's life, I don't want to be so early, I still want to go and see the battle of the end times. Taylor was indeed a little envious when he mentioned Luo Jina's comfortable life, but he was still not ready to do it.

"I've decided that I'm not going to think about any weird ideas that are ahead of my time, and I'm going to use my role as a wall-facing person on Earth to advance technologies that really work, like space elevators, controlled nuclear fusion, high-performance computers, and the like. I can use my status as a wall-facing person to promote these technologies for no reason, so that there are fewer obstacles in front of the technologies that are really needed. It may not be very useful, but it is still somewhat useful. ”

Hearing Taylor's words, Li Yi thought of Zhang Beihai, who used meteorite bullets to shoot three aerospace authorities in space just for the purpose of being truly useful. I think of the people of the future after the liberation of a new civilization, and the feminine society in the era of deterrence. Sure enough, only human beings who are in the golden age will have such a strong spiritual power, and heroes will emerge in troubled times.

After being silent for a while, Li Yi looked at Taylor and looked directly at him: "What can I do to help?" ”

"Nothing, Dr. Lee. It was enough for you to give me hope on the phone. Dr. Luo Ji, thank you for giving me hope to live, otherwise I really don't know what to do. After Taylor finished speaking, he shook Li Yi's hand, and then left the place, leaving only those macroatomic nuclei he had collected in the previous five years flying up and down irregularly like naughty elves.

********

In the following time, Taylor has been campaigning for human space technology, and even used his status as a wall-facing person to vigorously support the development of those technologies. He also offended some people for this. Finally, after a few years, he chose to hibernate.

"Wake ......me up when the Trimaran Fleet arrives," he thought about it, and then added, "Or when the earth is truly reconciled with the Trisolar." ”

Then, he chose to hibernate.

********

On the earth, the heads of various countries already knew about the agreement signed between China and the Three-Body Problem, and after all kinds of fierce negotiations, they still agreed to this plan, and anyway, this plan will not affect their current situation. In addition, this agreement does not contradict their original combat preparations, so the heads of these powerful countries have also adopted this agreement on behalf of the earth.

As a result, the contest between the Earth and the Trisolaran First Fleet will become the mainstream in the future, and they are ready to make this document public at a suitable time to give the world some hope, and maybe they can also make those "elite three" stop a little, these people are really disturbing them now.

It has even been suggested that these people should be turned into Trisolarans directly using biotechnology, sent to future transmitters, and sent to Trisolarans. But for the time being, no one wants to pay for them.

The 89th hearing of the United Nations Planetary Defense Council on the Facing Wall Plan was held. Although it is said to be a hearing, it is actually just an attitude, and it is impossible for the wall-facing people to tell their real plans at the hearing, so this meeting is basically a meeting where the wall-facing people come up with a genius and understandable plan, and then ...... I ask for funding.

And Luo Ji, because he didn't need the funds so much, so he hadn't been here for a long time, so that at this meeting, the first thing the rotating chairman said was to urge Luo Ji to participate in the next hearing, and this proposal was unanimously approved.
