Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Lin Xuan and Zhang Xiang waited for about half an hour before Hines, dressed in a white research coat, arrived at the British Museum of History, escorted by a motorcade.

The moment Hines stepped inside, a high black wall rose around the entire history museum, sealing off the doors and windows.

Lin Xuan recognized what it was after just one glance.

Material filters; his system also has these.

However, since it had never appeared in the original work, Lin Xuan thought it was technology from another civilization.

This is a defensive device that PDC recently developed. It is made of a special black film and is a low-end version of a plasma barrier.

When a kinetic weapon fires from the outside in, the bullet's material structure will be filtered to reduce its kinetic energy. Of course, current technology can only target kinetic weapons. While it has some effect on laser weapons, it is not as effective as one might imagine.

When a substance applies a force from the inside out, it will pass directly through this barrier.

The only drawback is that light cannot penetrate a single layer, which is why it appears to be pure black.

Zhang Xiang said that when this thing was designed by PDC, they jokingly called it "blind man's shooting".

While the two were chatting, Hines had already arrived in the center of the hall, less than five meters away from Lin Xuan.

The two of them sized each other up.

Compared to the last time Lin Xuan saw Hines at PDC, he now looked more mature, giving Lin Xuan the feeling that he was unfathomable.

Of the four Wallfacers in the original storyline, aside from Luo Ji, Hines is definitely the most successful Wallfacer.

Compared to Taylor's carelessness and Radiaz's madness, Hines did what he should have done as a Wallfacer.

His plan was divided into three parts.

On the surface, his plan was to develop human intelligence, and he was constantly conducting experiments, but this was just for show.

In fact, he was completing his research on the imprint of ideas.

The imprint of thought is something that is difficult to explain in a sentence or two. It is a way to summarize the lengthy discourses in the original work into a single sentence.

This is a technology that can change human thought and consciousness.

Even if you yourself realize that this way of thinking goes against common sense, you will still firmly believe in it.

In the original work, Hines, through his thought-imprinting experiments, could even induce subjects to believe that water was highly toxic.

Even though he knows that water is the most abundant component of the human body, he still firmly believes that water is poisonous.

This was Hines' second plan: he made even his Wallbreaker, Aristotle, believe that his plan was to imprint the Space Force with the ideology of "humanity's inevitable victory."

He cleverly shrouded his ultimate goal in a veil of mystery, almost causing Aristotle to misjudge his plan. It wasn't until eight years later, after a period of hibernation, that Hines truly understood his scheme.

Furthermore, like the previous two Wallfacers, Radiaz and Taylor, although in the original story, Hines' plan was ultimately completed and the Wall was broken.

However, the thought imprint added an extra layer of insurance to Zhang Beihai's future reinforcement plans. Lin Xuan even suspected that the imprinted race had really been completely replaced. The captain of the Blue Space, Chu Yan, was very likely also a member of the imprinted race who had been implanted with a thought imprint.

Therefore, in terms of the final result, putting aside the great Luo Ji, among the three Wallfacers, Hines' plan was definitely successful, which can be seen from the attitude of the Trisolarans in the original work.

The Trisolarans' response to Radiaz and Taylor was, "Lord, we don't care."

But the Wallbreaker didn't say that to Hines when he completed the breakthrough.

This shows that Hines' threat still exists; it's just that his plan ultimately failed.

Therefore, Lin Xuan does not plan to break through the barrier for the time being; his current value will drive Zhang Beihai's future reinforcement plans.

If we break through his mental barrier now, without even giving him the chance to imprint his thoughts, it could have irreversible consequences for the future.

“Mr. Lin Xuan, you look even more like a Wallfacer than you did a year ago.”

Just as Lin Xuan was pondering, Hines interrupted her thoughts.

But when Lin Xuan looked up at the other person, she was startled.
