The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Pang Xuelin would not interfere with Zhang Beihai's actions, nor would he even take the initiative to appear in front of Zhang Beihai.

The existence of Zhang Beihai is equivalent to an extra backup plan for human beings, and Pang Xuelin does not want this backup to be disturbed in any way.

...

Time unknowingly entered March of the 2nd year of the Crisis Era.

Zhuang Yan was discharged from the hospital.

After being discharged from the hospital, Zhuang Yan chose to return to school to study. On weekends, Pang Xuelin would go to school to pick her up, either to chat with her to relieve boredom, or to take her out to sketch and paint.

The two have almost become friends who talk about everything.

Zhuang's mother used words to test Pang Xuelin's attitude towards Zhuang Yan several times. After all, regardless of Pang Xuelin's status or achievements, it is more than enough to match Zhuang Yan.

But Pang Xuelin didn't say much, he just told Zhuang's mother that he would take good care of Zhuang Yan until she fully recovered.

Pang Xuelin still lives in the Xishan Villa. The Planetary Defense Council's plan to face the wall is advancing rapidly, and the "Wallfacer Act" has passed the final review of the third special UN General Assembly.

In April of the same year, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 117, announcing to the international community that fugitiveism was illegal.

At the same time, in this special session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Wall Facing Plan was officially announced. This plan has never been seen before in human history, whether it is in terms of its own ingenuity or legendary color.

Once announced, it became the focus of global media and public attention.

Every day in the media there are various speculations about who will become a Wallfacer, and there are even gaming companies that specially draw up a list of Wallfacer candidates and calculate the odds of each candidate being elected as a Wallfacer.

Needless to say, this list is quite reliable.

Frederick Taylor, Manuel Reydíaz, Bill Hines, these are all on the list.

Of course, along with it, there are various controversies about the Wallfacer plan.

Some people think that relying on individual strength, there is no way to compete with the general trend of history.

Those famous great men in history are just swimmers in the long river of history,

They set world records, won fame and acclaim, and went down in history, but they had nothing to do with the direction of history.

Some people also believe that a certain choice made by a certain figure at a critical moment in history may determine the future direction of history.

The Wallfacers will take on this important task entrusted by history.

During this time, Wang Miao and Ding Yi still often come to meet with Pang Xuelin to chat about the latest research progress.

Although basic scientific research has been completely locked by sophons, in the field of application, human beings still have great potential to tap.

Whether it is controllable nuclear fusion, supercomputers, ultra-high-density energy storage batteries, or flying blade materials, countries have invested a lot of resources to accelerate research and development.

Wang Miao's Nanomaterials Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences alone has allocated more than 10 billion this year, which was unimaginable before.

Da Shi, on the other hand, seemed to be busy with some case during this period of time, and basically didn't come to Pang Xuelin very often.

After May, the chill in the capital is gone.

In the courtyard where Pang Xuelin lives, there are many fragrant flowers, colorful and beautiful.

This morning, Pang Xuelin was painting with Zhuang Yan in the yard, and Kanter hurried over: "Professor Pang, Ms. Say is calling, and I hope you can go to New York as soon as possible. I have arranged the plane. Take off this afternoon."

Pang Xuelin raised his head and said lightly: "The wall-facing plan, is it about to start?"

Kanter nodded solemnly.

Pang Xuelin smiled. A few days ago, he was interviewed by several bigwigs.

Although the bosses never mentioned anything about the wall-facing project to him at all, Pang Xuelin was already mentally prepared for this day.

Pang Xuelin looked gently at Zhuang Yan who was sitting next to him, who was concentrating on painting, and said, "Yan Yan, I have something to do and I need to go out. I'm going back to school this afternoon. Let Xiao Song take you back."

"Well, okay, Brother Pang, you can go to work first, and leave me alone."

Zhuang Yan raised her head and smiled sweetly, then turned her attention to the drawing paper.

After lunch with Zhuang Yan, Pang Xuelin followed Kanter out.

The two boarded a specially modified Hongqi bulletproof car.

It was only after the car drove out of the villa area that Pang Xuelin realized that the motorcade for this trip was huge.

In addition to the concierge car leading the escort, there were more than a dozen vehicles in charge of the escort, and three of them were exactly the same as the red flag he was riding in, including the license plate number.

Along the way, traffic control is implemented along the way.

The road is full of military police and guards responsible for maintaining order.

And their destination was not the capital airport in Pang Xuelin's imagination, but an unknown air force base.

Outside the base, Pang Xuelin saw many soldiers with live ammunition on patrol, and even saw several main battle tanks.

When the convoy entered the base, there was a deafening roar in the sky. Pang Xuelin followed the prestige and saw four J-20s roaring into the sky in a formation of two or two.

At the same time, there were several armed helicopters patrolling over the base.

The convoy did not stop, but drove directly to the end of the runway. A huge Boeing 747 airliner had been waiting for a long time.

Accompanied by Kanter, Pang Xuelin boarded the plane.

Less than ten minutes later, the Boeing 747's engine started to start, and it took off with a roar.

There was no talking all the way, the plane flew very smoothly, and there was a bedroom specially used for rest in the plane, and Pang Xuelin slept directly in it.

When the plane arrived in New York, it happened to be five o'clock in the afternoon local time in the United States.

The airport where the Boeing 747 landed is also a heavily guarded air force base.

It's just the escort fighter jets. I don't know when the J-20 was replaced by the F22.

When Pang Xuelin got off the plane, he saw a tall white man waiting for a long time.

"This is Mr. Garning, the rotating chairman of the PDC!"

Kanter whispered in Pang Xuelin's ear.

"Mr. Garning, hello!"

"Professor Pang, hello." Garning shook hands with Pang Xuelin and said with a smile, "Professor Pang, I have heard Ms. Say mentioning your name before, but you are younger than I thought, so you should It is clear why I invited you here this time."

Pang Xuelin smiled and nodded: "Of course."

Garning said: "Okay, then let's not say more. The Wallfacer Conference will be held tomorrow. Tonight we will arrange you in a Hilton Hotel near the United Nations Building. The other candidates have already arrived. You are left with another candidate who has not arrived."

Pang Xuelin said: "Mr. Garning, may I take the liberty to ask, how many candidates are there for the Wallfacer this time?"

Garning was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "It's not suitable to say it now, but it's not a secret, especially for you, after all, you were the one who proposed the wall-face plan. Including you, we choose There are a total of five Wallfacers."

Pang Xuelin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

There are five candidates, one more than the original novel, so Luo Ji should also be selected.

I don't know what kind of price the Chinese government paid to convince the PDC to agree to the two Chinese being candidates for Wallfacer.

Pang Xuelin followed Garning into the car, and when he arrived at the hotel, Garning chose to leave.

Accompanied by Kanter, Pang Xuelin had a simple dinner and returned to his room to rest.

He didn't see the remaining candidates for the Wallfacer, and he didn't know if they stayed in the same hotel as him.

Early the next morning, after Pang Xuelin had breakfast at the hotel, accompanied by Kanter, he went to the United Nations Headquarters to attend the Wallfacer Conference.

"Professor Pang, are you not nervous?"

In the Lincoln bulletproof car, Kanter sat beside Pang Xuelin, looked at Pang Xuelin with an indifferent face, and unconsciously adjusted his tie with his hands.

"There's nothing to be nervous about. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. After all, I was the one who proposed the wall-facing plan, didn't I?"

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly.

"Too!"

Kanter laughed.

The motorcade stopped at the square of the United Nations Building. Before Pang Xuelin got out of the car, the Lincoln car was surrounded by a group of tall guards wearing sunglasses.

Kanter got out of one side of the Lincoln, then, walking around to the other side, opened the door.

Pang Xuelin got out of the car silently, glanced around, and stayed for a moment on the giant revolver sculpture with a knotted barrel in the square, and then followed Kanter into the United Nations General Assembly Hall.

This is the first time that Pang Xuelin has entered this place that he has seen countless times on TV.

The high yellow wall inlaid with the United Nations emblem directly in front, as the background of the rostrum, leaned forward at an angle of less than 90 degrees, like a cliff that might fall at any time.

The dome of the synagogue is built like a starry sky, but the structure is separated from the yellow wall below, which does not increase the sense of stability of the latter at all. On the contrary, a huge pressure is generated from the height, which aggravates the instability of the big wall. The whole environment It gives people a sense of oppression that may overturn at any time.

Pang Xuelin's position was arranged in the second row near the aisle, and Kanter was sitting next to him.

There is still some time before the official start of the meeting. Not far from his position, Pang Xuelin saw the figures of Frederick Taylor, Manuel Reydíaz and Bill Hines respectively.

Frederick Taylor, lanky and wearing wide-rimmed glasses, was the outgoing secretary of defense and a man who had a profound impact on American national strategy.

One of his important arguments is: the advantages of big countries are actually only real advantages in the low-tech era. The rapid development of technology will eventually weaken the advantages of big countries. At the same time, it will increase the strategic weight of small countries, which may cause some small countries to rise suddenly. Achieve world hegemony like Spain and Portugal did back then.

Taylor's thoughts undoubtedly provided a theoretical basis for the United States' global counter-terrorism strategy.

Taylor is not only a strategic theorist, but also a giant of action. He has won wide acclaim for his courage and foresight in dealing with many major crises.

Pang Xuelin glanced over Taylor, and turned to a brown-skinned, stout, South American strongman with stubborn eyes.

Manuel Rey Diaz, the current president of Venezuela, and a practitioner of Taylor’s strategic thinking, used low-cost small cruise missiles and other weapons to lead Venezuela to block the invasion of the U.S. military through guerrilla tactics under high-tech conditions, making the U.S. military Withdrew from Venezuela because it could not bear the heavy casualties.

As for the last one, Bill Hines, seemed suave and courteous.

He is the only scientist in history who was nominated for two Nobel Prizes in different disciplines at the same time for the same discovery.

In his research with brain scientist Keiko Yamasugi, he found that the brain's thinking and memory activities are carried out at the quantum level, rather than at a molecular level as previously thought.

This discovery pushed the brain mechanism down to the microscopic level of matter, and also made all the previous research on brain science a superficial article.

This discovery also proves that the information processing ability of the animal brain is several orders of magnitude higher than previously thought, thus making possible the long-guessed holographic structure of the brain.

As a result, Hines was nominated for two Nobel Prizes in physics and physiology, but because this discovery was too revolutionary, he did not receive these two awards. Instead, Keiko Yamasugi, who had become his wife at this time, should have He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine that year for the specific application of this theory in the treatment of amnesia and mental illness.

But this Keiko Yamasugi is no ordinary person.

According to the description in the book, Keiko Yamasugi is one of the top executives of ETO, codenamed Aristotle in the three-body game.

After the wall-facer project started, ETO established a corresponding wall-breaker plan, taking it as its mission to crack the strategic plan of each wall-facer, and Keiko Yamasugi also became Bill Hines' wall-breaker.

Time passed by, and more and more people began to enter the hall.

But Pang Xuelin never saw Luo Ji.

It wasn't until the auditorium was almost full and the Wallfacer meeting was about to start that Pang Xuelin saw a man of yellow race who looked to be in his thirties and had a scholarly air about him, leading by a United Nations official. Some dazedly came from behind.

In the end, he was placed in the fifth row near the aisle, not far from him.

The venue fell silent, and UN Secretary-General Sai walked to the rostrum.

When passing Pang Xuelin's position, Say, who hadn't seen him for a long time, nodded at Pang Xuelin, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Afterwards, Sai stepped onto the rostrum, came to the microphone, and looked around the venue.

The venue gradually became quiet.

"The nineteenth meeting of the Planetary Defense Council and the Wallfacer Conference officially begins now."

"Before officially entering the meeting today, I need to review the wall-facing plan!"

"The Wallface Project originated from the genius idea of ​​a top mathematician. This mathematician was also invited to the meeting today. I will reveal his true identity to you later. Next, I will formally explain it to you. The main content of the wall-facing plan."

After Say's voice fell, there was a commotion in the venue.

Many people looked around, wanting to see who this mathematician was.
