The conference hall was already full of people, and there was a buzzing of talking, and Kanter led Li Yang and Luo Ji along the passage between the seats, attracting no one's attention at first, until they walked too far forward, causing several people to turn their heads to look. Kanter arranged for Li Yang and Luo Ji to sit side by side in the fifth row of aisle seats, while he continued to walk forward and sat down on the edge of the second row.

Li Yang and Luo Ji were both looking up at the place they had seen countless times on television, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be completely unable to understand the image that the architect was trying to express.

Directly in front of it, the tall yellow wall with the coat of arms of the International Union Congress, as the background of the rostrum, tilted forward at an angle of less than 90 degrees, like a cliff that may fall at any time; The dome of the synagogue is like a starry sky, but the structure is separated from the yellow wall below, which does not increase the sense of constancy of the latter in the slightest, but creates a great pressure from the heights, which exacerbates the instability of the wall, and the whole environment gives people a sense of oppression that may overturn at any time.

In retrospect, it seems that all of this is simply a brilliant prediction of the 11 architects who designed it in the middle of the last century about the condition of humanity today.

Li Yang first withdrew his gaze from a distance and heard the conversation between the two people sitting next to him, their English was very authentic, and they couldn't figure out their nationality.

“… Do you really believe in the role of the individual in history? ”

"Well, I think it's a question that can't be verified or falsified, unless time starts over, let's kill a few great men, and then see how history goes.

Of course, one possibility cannot be ruled out: the dams built by those big men and the rivers dug up really determined the course of history. ”

"But there's another possibility: the big guys you're talking about are just swimmers in the history of history, who set world records, won applause and fame, and went down in history for it, but have nothing to do with where the river flows...... Alas, things have come to this point, is it still interesting to think about this? ”

"The problem is that no one thinks about it in this way throughout the decision-making process, and countries are entangled in things like the right people to balance the use of resources......"

……

When Li Yang was listening to the person next to him and was getting up, he felt that his arm was stabbed by Luo Ji next to him, Li Yang turned his head and looked at Luo Ji with a little doubt, wanting to hear what questions he had.

"Li Yang, what do you think you are calling us for, Shi Qiang and that Kante were both chattering before, and they didn't tell us seriously."

It turned out that Luo Ji's question was this, Li Yang looked around, then lowered his head and said in Luo Ji's ear: "Face the wall plan, let's participate in this thing, I can't explain the specifics, listen to the above speech slowly." ”

When Luo Ji heard Li Yang's answer, he repeated a sentence in his mouth with some strange words, "Face the wall plan?" Then he turned his head and listened to what was being said on stage.

……

The venue was quiet, and the secretary general of the International Joint Congress, Say, was walking on the podium, she was the third beautiful politician from Southeast Asian countries to contribute to the world after Mrs. Aquino and Arroyo, and she was also one of the two eras before and after the crisis in this position.

It's just that if she votes later, she will definitely not be elected, and when humanity is facing a three-body crisis, her image of an Asian lady obviously does not have the sense of power that the world expects.

Now, her petite body was under the cliff behind her, and she looked extremely weak and helpless. Halfway through the podium, Kanter got up to stop her and whispered something in her ear, and the Secretary-General glanced down, nodded, and continued onto the podium.

Li Yang and Luo Ji were sure that she was looking at the direction where they were sitting.

On the podium, the Secretary-General looked around the room and said: "The nineteenth meeting of the Planetary Defense Council is now on the final agenda: the announcement of the list of finalists who will be selected for the wall, and the announcement of the start of the wall-facing program. ”

"Before we get into the formal agenda, I think it's necessary to do a brief review of the face of the wall plan."

"At the time of the emergence of the three-body crisis, the former permanent members of the Security Council held urgent consultations and put forward the initial idea of the wall-facing plan."

"All countries have taken note of the fact that after the first two Zhizi, there has been increasing evidence that more Zhizi are constantly reaching the solar system and entering the Blue Star, a process that is still ongoing today.

Therefore, for the enemy, the current Blue Star is already a completely transparent world, for them, everything in this world is like an open book ready to read, and there are no secrets for mankind. ”

"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 plan, a deployment, no matter how big or small, when they appear on the Blue Star, will also be revealed in the enemy Trisolar's Command four light-years away, and any form of communication within humanity will lead to leaks. ”

"We should pay attention to the fact that the level of strategic and tactical intrigue is not directly proportional to technological progress. There is already definite information that proves that the Trisolarans communicate directly with transparent thinking, which makes them very incompetent in stratagem, disguise and deception, which also makes human civilization have a huge advantage over the enemy, and we must not lose this advantage.

Therefore, the founders of the Facing Wall Project believed that in addition to the mainstream defense plan, several other strategic plans should be carried out in parallel, which were opaque and secret to the enemy. Initially, a variety of options were envisaged, but it was determined that only the wall-facing plan was feasible. ”

"It should be corrected what was said earlier: up to now, human beings still 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, they 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 completed steps and the final purpose are only hidden in their brains, we call them wall-facers, the name of the ancient Eastern meditators well reflects the characteristics of their work.

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 supervised and controlled by the Planetary Defense Council of the International United Congress, which is the only body with the authority to veto the Wall-Facing directives under the International United Conference Face-to-Wall Act. ”

"In order to ensure the continuity of the Wall Facing Project, all facets will use hibernation techniques to cross time and 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 up to the Wall-Facing Person.

For the next four centuries, the United Nations International Assembly Bill 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. ”

After speaking, the Secretary-General walked to the side of the podium and bowed to all the participants, and then the room erupted in thunderous applause, as if to celebrate this last not lonely time for the next wall-facing people in advance.
