"The hearing for those who have faced the wall will now begin. Please welcome Zhang Huaimin, the rotating chairman of China."

This year's Wallfacer hearing was even more deserted, with far fewer audience members and only one Wallfacer, Lin Xuan, attending.

Since Hines has entered hibernation, only Lin Xuan and Luo Ji remain as Wallfacers still working. Naturally, this year's PDC rotating chairman has been replaced by a Chinese person.

"Mr. Chairman, please forgive me for being unable to attend this hearing on the Wallfacers due to special circumstances.

Luo Ji's projection gestured slightly to Zhang Huaimin on the stage, who simply nodded.

Everyone knows that Luo Ji entered the underground base six months ago, and he hasn't come out since. No one knows what he's researching inside.

Until a day ago, Shi Qiang suddenly contacted PDC, saying that Luo Ji needed to hold this year's Wallfacer hearing ahead of schedule. PDC was not too keen to agree, but Lin Xuan also submitted a request to hold the hearing at the same time.

Left with no other option, the PDC had to move the meeting forward.

"Luo Ji, the Wallfacer, you should already know about the Wallfacer Act that was amended at the UN General Assembly, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chairman."

"You should note that the bill strengthens the review and restriction of Wallfacers' use of resources. I hope that the plan you submitted at this meeting will meet the requirements of the bill, and of course, the same goes for Mr. Lin Xuan."

"I agree."

Lin Xuan was too lazy to argue with PDC. PDC was currently facing severe financial difficulties, and he had long since given up on getting money from PDC.

“I agree, Mr. Chairman. In fact, my plan will not consume too many resources.”

"Indeed, after all, how much money can be spent on food, drink and entertainment is just a year's income for a working-class family."

The eagle representative's teasing of Luo Ji elicited snickers from the crowd, all of whom knew what Luo Ji had done during his years as a Wallfacer.

First, he created an extremely luxurious Eden for himself, then he had PDC find him a wife, and finally, he spent PDC's money to take Zhuang Yan around the world. At the most critical moment for humanity, this Wallfacer did nothing.

"quiet!"

On the platform, Zhang Huaimin slammed the gavel down, and the meeting room fell silent.

Luo Ji cast a grateful glance at the podium before continuing.

"You should all have received the documents that Dr. Albert sent you, right?"

"That's the information I plan to transmit into the universe using the sun's radio wave amplification function. The information only includes three images and an additional message to verify its authenticity."

Upon hearing this, the delegates began to search through the documents in front of them, and the sound of pages turning filled the room.

Soon, they saw the three images that Luo Ji had mentioned. Several black dots were randomly distributed on them, and each image had a more conspicuous black dot, along with an arrow pointing to it.

"what is this?"

"Simply put, this is a message sent to the universe, and the content of the message..."

"It's a spell."

"Shock level from the Chinese representative +5."

Lin Xuan: ?

Why is the shock value being attributed to me? I didn't do it.

Lin Xuan was unaware that the Chinese representative was thinking to himself, "Did Lin Xuan's kick that caused Luo Ji to fall into the water cause water to enter the brain of this Fourth Wallfacer?"

"A spell, a spell aimed at whom?"

"The star 187J3X1 and all its planets, and of course, it may also directly affect the star."

What specific effects will it have?

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"Yes, but one thing is certain: the effect will be absolutely devastating."

"Is there life on those planets?"

"I hope... I hope not."

"How long will it take to observe it, Dr. Luo Ji?"

"This planet is about 50 light-years from the sun, so the spell will take effect at the earliest in 50 years. We may not be able to observe any images of its effects for another 100 years, but this is just my estimate and the actual time may be much further away."

After a long silence, the American representative threw down the documents in his hand.

"Great, now we finally have a god!"

"The god hiding in the cellar!"

The representative added, which immediately drew laughter from the audience.

“Dr. Luo Ji, in terms of strategic deception, your plan is absolutely the most bizarre and inexplicable,” said Garnin, the representative of the Russian side.

But upon seeing Lin Xuan sitting to the side, he felt that his words were somewhat inappropriate and quickly changed his tune.

"Perhaps you really can succeed, after all, the Trisolarans may not even know what you're doing."

"Dr. Luo Ji, if everything is really as you say, why not directly apply it to the Trisolaran world?"

Zhang Huaimin voiced the question that had been on his mind.

Luo Ji shook his head slightly.

"That probably won't work. This was just one of my experiments, and the Trisolaran world is too close to us. It might affect us if it happens. That's why I gave up on stars with planets within fifty light-years."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

They found the words somewhat familiar; it sounded a bit like Diaz's plan.

"Did you design this plan based on that bastard Diaz's Wallfacer Plan?"

"The U.S. representative asked the question."

"Is this ever going to end? Has the PDC lost the most basic respect for the Wallfacers?" Lin Xuan interrupted their conversation forcefully.

"If every plan needs to explain its origins to you, then what is the point of the Wallfacer Project? Zhizi's surveillance of you and me is constant; you haven't forgotten that, have you?"

The American representative was rendered speechless by Lin Xuan's words and had no choice but to shut up.

"Now, Mr. Lin Xuan, please explain your plan."

Lin Xuan took out a design drawing from her bag and gestured for Galen to pass it forward.

Galnin quickly did as he was told and distributed the design drawings to everyone present.

It was a densely drawn CAD design drawing, and it looked like a city.

"Something seems off about this design."

"Indeed, I feel like... something's not quite right."

Lin Xuan smiled.

"Turn it upside down."

"what?"

"Turn the design upside down."

Everyone was startled and quickly flipped the design drawing over, only to discover that it was actually an upside-down design drawing.

"This is my idea for an underground city. Of course, some parts can be modified slightly, but the overall design doesn't need to be changed too much."

"You want to build a city underground?"

"Yes, Mr. Chairman."

"They've all gone mad, completely mad! These Wallfacers have all gone insane! One wants to cast a spell into the sky, another wants to build a city underground! It's utterly ridiculous!" the representative of the British Empire sneered.

"But this does align with PDC's mainstream defenses."

The U.S. representative stared at the design drawings in silence for a long time. He had originally planned to bring this up at the next meeting, but Lin Xuan beat him to it.

"Since you have this intention, Lin Xuan, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Surprisingly, the U.S. representative showed support for Lin Xuan's proposal for the first time, which surprised everyone else present.

"But let me make this clear beforehand: PDC doesn't have any extra money left for you. If you want to build it, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Just as Lin Xuan had imagined, the American representative remained as shameless as ever.

This is clearly a case of wanting to get something for nothing without paying.

The construction of the underground city was already part of PDC's plan; they were simply using their own money to do things for them.

"Sure, but I have one condition: I need someone transferred to my unit."

"Who?"

"Wei Cheng, that mathematical genius from PES."
