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

"You are committing a crime."

At the Wallfacer hearing, the U.S. representative, after reading the clone data provided by Lin Xuan, said with some annoyance.

The Wallfacer hearing was held a month later. This time, Lin Xuan was not the only one who attended; Hines, who had awakened from hibernation, also participated in the meeting.

"The technology of creating clones is absolutely prohibited. Its creation is a mistake, both morally and legally."

The rotating chairman for this term is still Zhang Huaimin from China. Since Lin Xuan became the only Wallfacer left, Zhang Huaimin has served as the rotating chairman for almost seven consecutive terms.

Lin Xuan single-handedly made Zhang Huaimin's position as rotating chairman of PDC a secure, permanent job.

There's nothing we can do; right now, the only thing that can restrain Lin Xuan is China.

The U.S. representative has opted for remote meetings several times, since if he were to clash with Lin Xuan at the Wallfacer hearing, Lin Xuan wouldn't even need to lift a finger; his own people would have already taken him down.

The more desperate the masses are, the greater their expectations of those facing the wall become.

If Lin Xuan hadn't lacked American citizenship, she would likely have received more votes than the other candidates in this presidential election.

Zhang Huaimin tapped the table, indicating that he was giving Lin Xuan a way out. He said that no one would say anything if she researched cloning in private, but it was impossible to legalize it in public.

Hines, watching this scene from the side, was also quite nervous.

When he learned that Lin Xuan intended to legalize clones, he knew that the representatives from all sides would react this way.

He was also somewhat worried because the thought imprint he was about to propose was not much different from Lin Xuan's cloning technology. Whether from a legal or moral standpoint, controlling a person's mind would be a taboo subject.

Therefore, he planned to observe Lin Xuan's performance first. If Lin Xuan succeeded, it would greatly assist his subsequent plans.

Just when everyone thought Lin Xuan would discuss this issue with the PDC representative in a gentler way, Lin Xuan responded directly with a more assertive attitude.

“The ones who are truly committing crimes are you, you representatives.”

"What time is it now? The Trisolaran crisis is less than four hundred years away, and the Trisolaran fleet will arrive on Earth."

"What are you all pretending for? I'm violating morality. Put your hands on your conscience and tell me, compared to cloning technology, haven't you caused more damage to the world?"

"you!"

Lin Xuan pointed at the representative of the United States.

"Since last year, there have been 15 protests in the United States. Eight of them were caused by your violent crackdowns, and the remaining seven were due to food distribution issues."

"And you!"

Lin Xuan then turned her attention to the French representative.

"You have made an indispensable contribution to the ever-increasing exploitation of labor in the colonies and the dramatic drop in the world's population from 70 billion."

"And you, you, and you!"

Lin Xuan pointed to the representatives of the island nation, the British Empire, and the Republic of Will.

"Taking advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters, attempting to launch wars abroad and annex neighboring countries—these are all things you are doing."

"As a Wallfacer, I'm trying to find a way to deal with the Trisolaran crisis, while you're turning your weapons on your own people, and now you have the nerve to criticize me?"

Zhang Huaimin on the podium breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I'm the rotating chairman of PDC this time; otherwise, judging from this guy's attitude, I feel like I'd get scolded by him too.

"Shock level from Vader +1."

Wied, sitting in the audience, nodded slightly.

It's been years, and this kid has become more and more ruthless.

After completing the reverse engineering, Vader took a weakened version of the splitting agent long before, extending his lifespan to the 300-year limit for immortals.

Unfortunately, PIA has too many things to deal with every day. If he hibernates in the future, he will miss many good shows.

After Lin Xuan had scolded all the representatives present, she sat back down in her chair.

“Mr. Lin Xuan, your accusations against various countries are pure fabrications, but putting that aside, your research still opens a door to darkness for all mankind,” Zhang Huaimin said.

His words seemed to be a rebuttal to Lin Xuan, but in reality, he was reminding Lin Xuan that simply criticizing them was useless; she needed to come up with something that would move people. If PDC really cared about saving face, then he wouldn't have made such a mess of the world.

"I don't quite understand why everyone is so sensitive about human cloning. In fact, isn't this technology being widely used in modern society?"

"Whether it's gene iteration of a species or synthetic biology, it all boils down to using similar technologies. To put it in Chinese terms, you're just laughing at someone who's only slightly better than you."

Hines, who was standing to the side, was taken aback.

"Wait, why is what this guy is saying so similar to what I'm trying to say?"

In the original storyline, these words were spoken by Hines, and Lin Xuan was too lazy to think of any other words, so she simply copied Hines's words verbatim.

“You’ve taken more than a hundred steps; you’ve already reached the threshold of darkness,” the American representative retorted.

The room suddenly became noisy as everyone shared their opinions on cloning technology.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Everyone, let's learn from that little boy!"

The island nation representative asked, "What little boy?"

"I think everyone has heard this story: a little boy whose leg was crushed by a falling tree in a forest. He was all alone at the time, and his leg was bleeding profusely. If this continued, he would soon die from blood loss. But he made a shameful decision: he picked up a saw, cut off his own leg, climbed into a car, and ran to the hospital, saving his life."

In the original storyline, this was an example that Hines used to explain his thought process, and Lin Xuan recited it verbatim, which made Hines feel like his brain had crashed.

"This is the problem humanity is facing now: to be or not to be. We should give up some things."

“That’s impossible,” said the representative of the Will of the Nation.

"Once clones get out of control, they will be a more terrifying existence than the Trisolaran crisis. They will lurk among the population, imitate humans, surpass humans, and replace humans."

Lin Xuan had been waiting for him to say that. He immediately took out the report on the lack of self-awareness in clones and uploaded it to the meeting sharing interface.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a certificate we produced during our research. Unfortunately, humans are insignificant in the face of nature. We still cannot understand why these clones have lost the concept of 'I'."

"However, this indirectly confirms that Marxist philosophy's understanding of the concept of consciousness is correct."

"Perhaps, just like artificial intelligence, we cannot create clones with independent consciousness, which is their biggest flaw."

"This is the law of nature."

Lin Xuan concluded by quoting Liu Chang's original words.

The plagiarism rate of this presentation can be said to be as high as 99%.

The first half quotes Hines, while the second half presents Liu Chang's theory.

The room fell silent for a long time before Zhang Huaimin finally spoke.

"Alright, let's put this topic aside for now. We need to discuss it briefly after the meeting. Now, Dr. Hines, please present your research."

Hines was still reeling from the shock of Lin Xuan.

“I…this…him.”

He struggled for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.

"He used all my words!"
