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

Lin Xuan met Yamasugi Keiko three days later.

Hines acted swiftly; after finalizing the design of the first version of the consciousness extractor, he had his team begin mass production.

This time, Keiko Yamasugi brought more than two hundred consciousness extraction devices, which she then sealed and handed over to Lin Xuan.

"Next time, we can optimize the appearance of these devices, preferably making them look like a gaming helmet. I need to use these things for other things later."

After Lin Xuan briefly described her idea to Keiko Yamasugi, the latter forwarded Lin Xuan's proposal to Hines.

"By the way, ETO is holding a general meeting tomorrow, remember to attend on time."

After saying this, Keiko Yamasugi wanted to slap herself to see if she was dreaming.

This is just too outrageous. She just can't understand how Lin Xuan managed to become both the Wallfacer and the next leader of ETO at the same time.

The key point is that Keiko Yamasugi can't find any contradiction in his behavior. After all, both sides feel that Lin Xuan is on their side. As for what he is really thinking, only he himself probably knows.

Having obtained these two hundred sets of consciousness extraction devices, Lin Xuan could finally begin the next phase of the Super Dream Project.

Lin Xuan had all these devices connected to the database, and then retrieved a hidden file stored in the database.

That was a game, a Star Wars game.

Players will take on the role of a member of the space force participating in interstellar warfare, experiencing interstellar combat from different perspectives.

You can choose to be any role in this war, whether it's a spaceship captain, a marine, a heavy mech pilot, or even an engineer maintaining a space station.

The game highly replicates the way spaceships are operated, the feel of various weapons, and even the feeling of weightlessness in space, achieving a near 100% realism.

Even if this game were just a PC game, it would definitely be a AAA masterpiece. Not to mention that this game is played using Mewtwo, the immersive feeling is absolutely unmatched by any other game on the market.

But Lin Xuan's purpose was far more than that. He had Yun Tianming make this game for him before he left, and its content and gameplay were quite unique.

Lin Xuan also gave this game a name: Star Wars: Dark Campaign.

……

The next morning, Lin Xuan attended the ETO's general meeting.

The meeting was originally scheduled for the afternoon, but because Lin Xuan had to attend the PDC Wallfacer hearing in the afternoon, Qin Shihuang directly changed the meeting time to the morning for him.

This is simply outrageous. The same person was able to attend two high-level meetings of completely opposing camps on the same day. If this got out, the outside world would probably be in an uproar.

When Lin Xuan's projection reappeared in the Three-Body Problem game, she discovered that the scene had changed this time.

He and a group of ETO members were standing in a field of yellow sand. In front of them, Qin Shi Huang held a long sword and stood in front of a pyramid.

Behind him, three suns hung high in the sky, scorching the entire earth like a giant furnace.

"Men, the Lord has given us a new command, requiring us to kill all escapists."

Although Qin Shi Huang was standing on a high place, for some reason, his voice could be heard by everyone, so that even the ETO members standing far away could hear it clearly.

"The Lord has never relaxed His vigilance against escapists among mankind, but just recently, the Lord conveyed to me His intention to destroy them."

"why?"

The person who asked the question was Newton.

"The reason is the same as before; the Lord did not tell us."

“This won’t do. We’ve lost a lot of members in our recent operations. The Lord must give us a reason to hunt down the fugitives.”

"Planck, are you questioning the Lord's decision?"

“I have no objection to the Lord, but you must remember that the Lord is not good at scheming. We need to know what caused the Lord to suddenly take action against the escapists.”

Planck's righteous and eloquent words forced Qin Shi Huang on the stage to pause the discussion and turn to ask Zhi Zi about the possibility of his proposal.

Soon, Qin Shi Huang received the reply from the wise man.

"The Lord's meaning is that humanity's resources are now overloaded, to the point where the input and output ratio is not commensurate. Soon, this problem will be exposed in human society and will have disastrous consequences. At that time, a large number of escapist ideas will rise up, which is something the Lord does not want to see."

"Then what can we do? We can't exactly be asked to provide resources for humanity, can we?"

When this ETO member said this, he had already placed his identity outside the realm of humanity. Clearly, these madmen no longer acknowledged the fact that they were human.

"On the contrary, we need to make use of these people, constantly catalyze their thoughts, transforming them from escapism into utter despair. In this way, we will build our own force in human society to ensure the number of people in the ETO organization."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan, who had remained silent until now, immediately understood.

So, during this period of great downturn, ETO organizations are much more active than I imagined.

It seems that in the original storyline, the suffering that humanity endured during the Great Depression was not only due to environmental factors, but also inseparable from the machinations of ETO behind the scenes.

"Mr. Lin Xuan".

After the meeting, Qin Shi Huang suddenly called out to Lin Xuan, who was about to quit the game.

"what's up?"

Lin Xuan looked at Qin Shi Huang, the second leader of the Three-Body Organization, with an indescribable melancholy in her eyes.

"The Lord wishes to speak with you alone."

Qin Shi Huang led Lin Xuan into a private room, then left and closed the door, leaving Lin Xuan alone in the room.

Lin Xuan noticed that there was a screen in the center of the room, on which several lines of clear text were currently displayed.

"Lin Xuan, the Wallfacer, this is our second deal with you."

Lin Xuan knew that this was Zhi Zi's doing.

He looked at the screen in the room with great interest.

"You want me to help you break through the barrier again?"

The "transaction" the Trisolarans were referring to likely refers to the previous time when they broke through the barrier for Taylor.

The Trisolarans also kept their promise and had a certain impact on the propulsion of the radiation engines.

The academic community currently believes that propellant propulsion has no future.

For some unknown reason, the interference with the propellant thruster suddenly intensified, leading the scientists to a near dead end. Left with no other choice, they were forced to choose the development of a radiation thruster.

"Yes!"

The Trisolarans were quite honest; they didn't understand what deception was, at least not now.

“Rediaz’s actions will lead to a surge in escapism, which is not what we want to see. If possible, we hope you can complete the task of breaking down the barriers between us.”

Because Diaz is still manufacturing nuclear weapons, the environmental degradation will continue to worsen, and the Great Depression may occur twenty years earlier than originally planned, or even earlier.

This is actually Lin Xuan's fault.

Taylor's failure to commit suicide meant that the PDC had no concrete evidence to prove that Taylor's plan violated the Wallfacer Act.

The direct result of this is that the Wallfacers have far more rights than imagined; in the original work, their rights were actually severely restricted at this point.

As a result, even now, Radjaz is still able to engage in heated debates with representatives from various countries at the PDC conference.

After all, no one can prove that he made so many hydrogen bombs to use against humanity.

Therefore, this also increases environmental pollution. After all, only the Trisolarans are most worried about the state of Earth's environment, which is their future home. The less damage humans cause to Earth, the less damage they will suffer.

"Rediaz's actions are harmful to both humanity and us. Eliminating it is far more meaningful than letting it continue to waste excessive resources."

Lin Xuan shook her head immediately upon seeing the message from the Trisolarans.

"No, this has nothing to do with me. Humans or you are your business. I need to see something that is of substantial benefit to me."

"what do you want?"

The Trisolarans were clearly at a disadvantage in this contest with Lin Xuan. Without the assistance of ETO, they were no match for Lin Xuan emotionally.

"Three conditions."

"First, Zhizi must not hinder the progress of my Mewtwo Project."

"Second, the ETO must not carry out terrorist attacks against members of the Red Coast base or its buildings."

"Third, Sophon must assist us in completing the construction of a defense for the synchronous orbit."

This time, the screen remained silent for a full three minutes.

Logically speaking, since the Trisolarans' minds are interconnected, even if they were to hold a meeting to discuss matters, it shouldn't have taken this long.

Just when Lin Xuan thought that the Trisolarans on the other side of the screen had disappeared, new words suddenly appeared on the screen.

"The second and third items can be completed, but the first item is rejected."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"make a deal."

Just as he had guessed, the Trisolarans did indeed feel some pressure regarding their Dream Project.

The core of the Super Dream Project is actually the process of speculating on an ideal model.

Lin Xuan needs to use a large number of human brains to simulate and verify the experiment.

The principle behind this plan is actually similar to that of the CAPTCHAs we use regularly.

When CAPTCHAs were first invented, no one imagined their applications. It wasn't until later, when people discovered that CAPTCHAs wasted a significant amount of computing power every day, that they gradually began to pay attention to the rational use of CAPTCHAs.

They turned some ancient books that could not be recognized by computers into verification codes.

Then, this verification code is given to ten users, who are asked to determine its content.

When nine out of ten people enter the same content, the verification code is considered correct and proceeds to the next level of screening. When seven people enter the same content, the verification code is reordered and given to the next group of ten users, and the correct answer is determined one by one by using a splitting method.

And those users, unwittingly, become part of the computer's computing power, working for the capitalists.

Lin Xuan's goal was to bypass Sophon's technological blockade and complete the experiment directly within Mewtwo using this method.

The idea is to have hundreds of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of people connect their brains to a dream world, judge the same experiment as right or wrong, and then integrate their results to complete the entire experimental process.

This is a process of using subjective cognition to create objective things.

To put it bluntly, it's all about guessing.

Having a large number of people repeatedly guess and judge the same problem to arrive at a common and consistent conclusion is very similar to reinforcement learning in artificial intelligence.

Everyone is repeating the same problem billions of times, but the difference is that artificial intelligence overturns all the wrong solutions before drawing a conclusion, while the SuperDream Project integrates and organizes all the correct solutions.

There are certainly advantages to doing this, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

Truth is in the hands of a minority.

Taking China as an example, the number of people with a bachelor's degree accounts for less than 3% of the total population. The characteristics of the country's population are a large population base and a relatively low level of education.

If we were to combine the thinking of these people, the resulting judgment might be completely contrary to the objective facts.

This brings us to another characteristic of the Super Dream Project.

Resource sharing.

Once the Super Dream Project is completed, human knowledge will be integrated, stored together, and shared with all of humanity.

Humanity will directly become the same as the Trisolarans, achieving a completely unified level of knowledge.

For a concrete example of the results, you can refer to Yun Tianming, who learned nearly a hundred professional knowledge subjects in five months and became more proficient than those who learned directly, because his knowledge was directly instilled into his brain.

However, this is fundamentally different from the Trisolarans. The Super Dream Project does not interfere with consciousness and cognition; it is merely a way to raise the average level of human knowledge.

As for the differences between the concepts of knowledge, cognition, and imagination, I have mentioned them before, so I will not go into detail here.

Knowledge sharing leads to shared outcomes.

This is the most specific feature of Lin Xuan's Super Dream Project.

One more thing to add is that experiments conducted in the Super Dream Project will not be interfered with by the Sophons, and will not consume any resources.

Even so, Lin Xuan was still worried that her idea would be a joke in the eyes of the Trisolarans.

A civilization that relies on dreams to achieve scientific and technological progress—that sounds absolutely ridiculous.

However, the Trisolarans do not know how to hide their emotions, which is their greatest weakness.

When Lin Xuan received the negative response from the Three-Body world, he knew that he had chosen the right path.

A good plan is one that can cause the enemy to worry.

As for why the Trisolarans never stopped Lin Xuan, it's because they knew that even if the Dream Project was completed, its threat level would be far less than the threat posed by Lin Xuan herself.
