Chapter 2940 ('') Hey! Is he also a wall-facer?
A few hours later, under the escort of military aircraft, the large luxury military aircraft on which Anne, Luo Ji and others were boarded finally successfully arrived and landed safely on Isla Verne, the island where the PDC Planetary Defense Council headquarters is located.
Then, including Anne, everyone saw the modern interstellar city in the distance that almost embodies the highest crystallization of human science and technology, and the huge space elevator port that soared into the sky and looked like a train track.
Seeing this, Luo Ji was of course so excited that he took out his cell phone and took pictures and selfies repeatedly. He even didn't forget to post it on WeChat Moments, properly exposing himself in front of his relatives, friends, colleagues, leaders and students whom he had not contacted for a long time.
Face it.
After all, this is Verne Island!
Here, in addition to employees from various departments of PDC and senior executives of PDC headquarters, there are also cutting-edge and elite talents from all walks of life gathered here, and they are the real elites!
And now, since Luo Ji is here, doesn't it mean that he himself is also a cutting-edge and elite talent in the industry, and a true elite?
Fortunately, before Luo Ji could continue his rants, the person who came to pick him up arrived. The other person was a man named Kanter, the director of the PDC Strategic Planning Department.
Originally, after a brief exchange of greetings between the two parties, the other party planned to pick up Annie and Luo Ji directly from Shi Qiang and another team. The procedures were completed, but unfortunately, Shi Qiang refused in the end.
Obviously, Shi Qiang didn't seem to trust the other party.
Even though the other party claims that this PDC island is very safe, everyone who lands on the island has been inspected and monitored 24 hours a day. At the same time, the entire island is monitored on the ground and in the air, and various invisible guards are all over the place.
There are still drones flying all over the island, so people from ETO will definitely not be able to infiltrate in!
Anyway, Shi Qiang is very stubborn, and his meaning is very simple, that is: the other party can pick the person up, but he must follow him the whole way!
Seeing Shi Qiang's insistence and seeing that he couldn't resist it, Kanter, the director of the PDC Strategic Planning Department, didn't want to waste time, so he had to compromise and readily agreed to Shi Qiang's following.
Then, he asked two PDC bulletproof official vehicles to carry Annie and Luo Ji respectively, and rushed to the PDC headquarters as soon as possible. At the same time, he sent someone in the car to introduce the general situation of the PDC headquarters city to the two.
Anne just felt a little strange about this.
After all, as the head of the Koprulu sector, what kind of city has she not seen? She has seen many interstellar cities with hundreds of millions of people. The most she can do is look at this small city built on an island.
It's just a curiosity, not like some uncle who makes a big fuss about it.
soon!
With patrol police and armored anti-explosion vehicles clearing the way, everyone arrived at the headquarters of the PDC Planetary Defense Directorate without any hindrance, and then quickly arrived at a conference venue directly from the staff passage.
Then, under the somewhat baffled looks in Annie's and Uncle Luo Ji's eyes, they were directly invited inside and sat down in two adjacent seats.
"??"
(.)
"Why are you here for a meeting? People thought it was a banquet hall..."
(ω‖)
After seeing the scene, Annie knew that she seemed to have been tricked by that 'uncle'. He had just told her in the car that he would have a surprise for her later, but look now, is this a surprise?
She thought it was a big dinner, but it turned out to be a conference?
You know, she hates meetings the most, so after seeing that there was nothing she was interested in, she got up and prepared to leave.
"You're here, why don't you sit down and take a look?"
Seeing that Annie was about to leave, Luo Ji, who was not prepared to stay alone in a place like this with no acquaintance, quickly stopped him and advised:
"As for the banquet..."
"Usually there is a banquet after a meeting, and it's the level of a state banquet!"
"Are you sure you want to leave?"
He is not talking nonsense, because as far as he knows, in their country, there is indeed a banquet after a conference of this level, and it is a state banquet. As for whether there is one here, whether it is about the food, he is not sure.
, after all, it was his first time here.
"Is that so?"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Oh well!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
After hearing that, Anne thought about it and reluctantly agreed to wait and see. If the meeting didn't last long, it didn't matter if she waited patiently.
The worst thing is, if she gets impatient with waiting, she will just take out her phone and play with herself. Anyway, she definitely doesn't want to give up trying a state banquet-level meal easily.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
Soon, Annie was not kept waiting. As the PDC Secretary-General Sai walked up to the rostrum under the lights and announced that the 19th meeting of the Planetary Defense Council was officially convened and broadcast live worldwide, the entire meeting scene instantly came to a standstill.
It became quiet.
"Everyone..."
"At this meeting, I will announce the final list of Wall Facers and announce the official start of the Wall Facer Project!"
"But before entering the formal agenda, I think it is necessary to conduct a brief review of the wall plan, as well as summarize the achievements and progress of certain work of our PDC during this period..."
"..."
"When the Three-Body Crisis emerged, the former permanent members of the Security Council held emergency consultations and put forward the initial idea of ​​the wall-facing plan."
"..."
"yesterday……"
"The particle collision experiments of Dr. Ding Yi and others in the space station have proven that the sophons emitted by the Trisolarans towards the earth are far more than two..."
"This means..."
"We no longer have any secrets about the Three-Body Problem..."
“I hope that representatives from all countries present here will pay attention to the following fact: After the first two sophons appeared, there is more and more evidence that more sophons are continuously arriving in the solar system and entering the earth. This process has continued until now.
It may still be ongoing.”
"So, for our enemies, the earth is now a completely transparent world."
"For them Trisolarans, everything in our world is like an open book ready to be read, and humans have no secrets left.
"At present, the mainstream and non-mainstream defense plans that the international community has launched, whether it is their overall strategic thinking or the smallest technical and military details, have obviously been completely exposed to the enemy's vision."
"In all our conference rooms, in all filing cabinets, in all computer hard drives and memories, Tomoko's eyes are everywhere..."
"No matter what plan, no matter what plan, no matter what deployment, no matter how big or small, when they appear on the earth, they will be displayed in departments such as the enemy's staff four light-years away.
Any form of communication will lead to complete leakage."
"What's even more frightening is that sophons have also blocked our cutting-edge technology and our most advanced microscopic particle experiments and research, but we have nothing to do about it..."
"besides……"
On the rostrum at the meeting, Secretary-General Say ignored the increasingly ugly expressions of the participants and the possible impact of the global live broadcast, and kept explaining the news one by one that was worse than the last.
Of course, that may not be entirely her original intention, but this is how the meeting arrangements and speeches were originally intended?
After all, this is a racial war between humans and the Trisolaran civilization, which is related to the fate of all people and the life and death of the race. Although it will only happen a few centuries later, it has nothing to do with the vast majority of humans on the earth today.
But the PDC still needs to explain to the world the results it has achieved during this period, what it has done, and its current predicament.
And that is why humans all over the world have given PDC such high functions and powers and invested so much money, manpower and material resources. PDC does not dare to neglect or conceal this.
"??"
|˙˙)
"Uncle Luo Ji!"
()
"What exactly is the wall-facing plan?"
(˙o˙)
Annie is not from Earth, and her understanding of this world is limited to a few random words she read on the Internet at the grilled fish shop. After that, she just focused on herself, so now she heard the Secretary-General aunt above say
Of course, she had a dark eye about those messy things.
So, after thinking about it, she had no choice but to tug on the arm of Uncle Luo Ji next to her, wanting to know more details about the plan.
Of course, she didn't mean anything else. She was just curious and wanted to hear it.
"Just choose the one who faces the wall!"
"Let me tell you this!"
Seeing the interest of the little girl next to him, who was originally bored and looking around, Luo Ji, who had just interrupted others and was scolded, seemed to have finally found the organization and started to explain to Annie in a low voice.
stand up:
"The Wall Plan!"
"At first, I heard that the PDC was strictly confidential, but as you just heard, because of Tomoko, it was simply made semi-public. Then many people knew it, maybe even most people on earth knew it?"
"After all, even the Trisolarans know about it, so continuing to hide it from the people on Earth is certainly unreasonable and necessary, isn't it?"
"I remember, the specific content is like this..."
Just like that, Luo Ji, who just wanted to find something to do and relieve his embarrassment, began to explain to Anne vividly.
It turns out that because the super-intelligent computer ‘Sophon’ created by the Trisolaran civilization can easily learn everything that happens on the earth, the people on earth can only make a fuss about the fact that their thoughts are opaque to the Trisolaran civilization.
The Wall Facer Project came into being. Its original intention was to select some people as 'Wall Facers' and use the opacity of human thought to hide their true strategic intentions against the Trisolaran World. The 'Wall Facers' were also allowed to mobilize
All resources of earth civilization without any explanation.
They just need to hide their plan in their own brains and then implement it step by step. In this way, it is possible to hide it from the Trisolarans and give them a fatal blow when the time comes?
Of course, Luo Ji was skeptical as to whether it could deliver a fatal blow to the Trisolarans.
In his opinion, it was just human beings' self-pleasure and the behavior of seeking medical treatment in a hurry when there was no doubt of failure, but he certainly didn't dare to say that kind of thing everywhere.
“So that’s what it is?
()”
Annie blinked and then asked a little strangely.
"But……"
(ω‖)
"Is it useful to play that kind of conspiracy when technology cannot surpass it?"
(﹏)
As far as she knows, if her Koprulu sector wants to invade here, no matter what wall-facing plan or pancake plan the earthlings here have, it will be useless!
Of course!
It can't be said that it's completely useless. If someone from a certain world can make super delicious pancakes to bribe her, is it really possible for her to stop the fleet in her own sector from invading or interfere with the other side's world?
As for whether Trisolarans like to eat delicious food as much as she does, she doesn't know.
(…)
(;￢￢)
However, the logic had just been explained, and not long after, the Secretary-General Sai on the rostrum began to look around the venue and directly talked about the content of the Wall-Facing Plan.
"It is a pity that four centuries later, when we face the Trisolaran fleet that possesses high-latitude technology..."
"We will have no chance of victory!"
"but……"
"Everyone has a weakness!"
"Although the technology of the Trisolarans is far superior to ours, they cannot hide their thoughts and cannot use conspiracy strategies. However, our human brains cannot be read by sophons!"
"This is our advantage, our only advantage..."
"..."
After hearing this and Secretary-General Nasai's speech, Luo Ji couldn't help but give Anne an awkward smile.
Because he found that what he had just said seemed to be in vain, and now Secretary-General Sai's speech seemed more vivid, more specific and comprehensive?
"..."
()
But Anne ignored him, and just listened carefully beside him for a rare moment.
"under……"
"The 19th meeting of the Planetary Defense Council has entered its final agenda: the list of the final selected Wallfacers has been announced, and the official launch of the Wallfacer Project has been announced."
"Now, in the name of PDC, I will announce the following list of wall-facers!"
Fortunately, before the nagging Luo Ji could find something to do and relieve the embarrassment, Secretary-General Sai on the podium suddenly began to announce the most important part of today's meeting, which was to address the participants
And the list of wall-facers is announced globally.
"First place!"
"Frederick Taylor..."
"He is the former Secretary of Defense and provided a solid theoretical foundation for the global counter-terrorism strategy..."
"At the same time, he showed superhuman courage and foresight when dealing with major crises!"
"Whether it is the depth of his thoughts or his leadership ability, Mr. Taylor is well-deserved as a wall-facer!"
With the warm applause at the conference, and as Frederick Taylor, who was in the front row of the conference, slowly stood up for the first time and signaled to the participants and the cameras broadcast live around the world, the conference became lively.
However, judging from that person's calm and unfazed expression and attitude, it seems that that person has already known about being chosen as the Wallfacer, or even known about it for a long time?
But that's not important. Anyway, Annie and Luo Ji's focus is not on such small issues.
"Second place..."
"It's Manuel Rey Diaz!"
"..."
"The third one is..."
"Bill Hines..."
Just like that, Secretary-General Sai introduced the identities of the selected wall-facers one by one, gave a certain identity explanation, and then asked them to go to the rostrum and appear on the camera, appearing in the global live broadcast.
.
"The fourth wall-facer..."
"Luo Ji!"
"A professor from a certain university in the East..."
Soon, Luo Ji, who was having fun with Annie, was called by name!
Then, when the lights, cameras and the eyes of countless participants were cast on him, Secretary-General Sai also began to introduce some of his Luo Ji's experiences in public, just like the three before him.
Maybe a little lackluster?
"I?"
But Luo Ji couldn't care about that much anymore.
"This, this, this..."
Is that a mistake?
Anyway!
When countless people's eyes and cameras were focused on him, when his own mugshot appeared on the huge screen behind the rostrum and he confirmed that the secretary-general did not call him wrong or that someone had the same name as him, Luo
The editor was dumbfounded on the spot, and then he pointed at his nose and stared with round eyes, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Wow——!
"Luo Ji?"
"Who is he?"
"I don't know..."
"Me too, never heard of it..."
"In which field are you the best?"
"I don't know!"
"It's incredible. A person who has never heard of it has become a Wallfacer?"
"Are you doing this randomly?"
"No!"
"Since he can become a Wallfacer, there is always a reason for him. Let's wait and see!"
"Too……"
Inevitably, people began to whisper in the venue.
Fortunately, after the staff came forward and motioned Luo Ji to the rostrum, the whispering voices quickly quieted down, and then they just watched with their eyes as Logic walked towards the rostrum with his somewhat silly and funny steps.
Go.
"ah!"
(_)
"Uncle Luo Ji or the Wallfacer?"
(`)
"It's really awesome!"
(`)~
Anne was also surprised, but she didn't say much. She just watched the other party being taken from her to the podium and subconsciously applauded and encouraged along with everyone.
After all, in her opinion, it seemed a bit fun that that silly guy could also become a Wallfacer?
However……
When Luo Ji was stupidly brought to the rostrum, when there were four wall-facers standing on it, when everyone thought that this meeting was going to end, and then the wall-facers would go to speak one by one to boost morale,
Something happened that surprised everyone:
"..."
Secretary-General Sai slowly turned over her speech again, then stared at the last document, and after a while, she slowly opened her mouth and announced into the microphone:
"I declare that the fifth wall-facer is..."
"Anne Hastur!"
As soon as she finished speaking, when her steady and solemn voice began to echo in the huge conference hall, just a few seconds later...
Wow——!
In an instant, a deafening uproar erupted in the venue!
The attendees instantly became excited, especially when they saw the lights and cameras focus on a little girl next to Luo Ji's seat just now, and then Anne's pretty little girl also appeared on the screen.
After taking a headshot of her upper body and confirming that it is her.
"What?!"
"A little kid? Is this a joke?"
"How old does she look?"
"Six years old? Eight years old?"
"What's this?"
"yes!"
"The Wallfacer Project should be carried out by a certain industry or the top wise man who can deal with the three-body problem, or a strategist, but a little girl..."
"This decision is too hasty!"
"absurd!"
"Letting a child deal with an alien threat? This is irresponsible to all mankind!"
"What's going on with the PDC people?"
"Perhaps, this has some symbolic meaning? But in actual operation, if you think about it carefully, it is really a fantasy..."
"Ha ha!"
"This is definitely the biggest news today, and the whole world will be shocked by it!"
"Well..."
"We cannot accept this arrangement!"
"Yes, even if she is really different in some aspects, she is still a child, how can she bear such a heavy responsibility?"
"Okay!"
"It's useless to say anything now. This is to announce the results, not to discuss with us."
"well……"
"Perhaps, there are indeed considerations that we don't know, but such a decision will undoubtedly cause huge controversy."
"I don't think it's going to be chaotic for a while!"
"Isn't it?"
"At this critical moment, we should focus more on practical solutions rather than this kind of sensationalism."
"If I can vote first, I will definitely oppose it!"
"Me too!"
"Haha... the process of human history was interrupted by the name of a little girl. This will be another heavy mark in the textbooks."
"Tsk tsk!"
“This is indeed beyond everyone’s imagination!”
"In any case, I feel that the PDC should reconsider and we must immediately assess all the security risks that this decision may bring?"
"Okay!"
"Don't tell me this, it's useless!"
"Why don't you go complain?"
"..."
"It's really unspeakable..."
"Crazy!"
"For a little girl to have to endure all this?"
"Speaking of which, my child is so old. I can't imagine what my child would do if she became a Wallfacer..."
"Perhaps, running to the street, eating and drinking, and taking all kinds of toys without paying for them?"
"Hahaha……"
"..."
"..."
In this way, amid the chaos, Anne was somewhat dumbfounded and unexpectedly invited to the podium by the staff.
Then, even though Secretary-General Sai raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, the participants in the venue were still emotionally agitated and unable to calm down. They just whispered below, whispered to each other, or denounced in person and continued to argue and discuss loudly.
Making a noise.
As for the street-sized screens that are being broadcast live around the world, the advertising boards in stores and shopping malls, the TVs in homes and the personal mobile phones watching the live broadcast, what will be the hot and exaggerated reaction scene?
We can roughly guess the reactions of educated participants and scientific and political elites from various countries.
least……
It might be ten times, ten times or even dozens or hundreds of times more lively and intense than the PDC Congress meeting, right?
