Three-body: The Most Competent Wallfacer in History

Jiang Yu remembered that at the time of his "death," there was already a privileged class that had emerged from the accumulation of wealth.

Back then, Jiang Yu could still use his prestige to strike against those privileged classes, but he also understood in his heart that with the stability of a society for a long time, class stratification would inevitably occur.

This could potentially lead to a huge crisis in the future.

Jiang Yu knew clearly that this was no longer something he could solve, unless he plunged the Solar System State into chaos, breaking such balance.

Only, chaos brought such great harm to humanity that it seemed a little counterproductive.

Furthermore, Jiang Yu had confidence in the future of humanity. Education within humanity had been relatively enlightened in a short period of time, with neither the teachings of pure happiness nor the education of the ignorant.

The illustrations in the electronic textbooks were also the works of top artists, depicting figures without pathological appearance or malicious aesthetic uglification.

With increased lifespan, for a long time in the future, people would maintain an open-mindedness and sufficient confidence.

Even if there was a crisis, Jiang Yu believed that the later generations would be able to solve it themselves.

Indeed, at the end of the first millennium of the Galaxy Era, a Jiao Zuo emerged who redistributed the power and wealth of the Solar System State through military force!

According to Wei Xiang's brief account, the century or two after Jiao Zuo was a recovery phase for the Solar System State, after which the Solar System State started to stride forward again.

Wei Xiang said, "After the Great Depression ended, the Solar System State developed two distinct lines of thought.

"One line of thought believed that we should remember history, not forget the enemies of the past and the lessons of history, respect the rules left behind by history, and we call them the Historian Faction.

"Their proposals include following the limitation that the number of high-end artificial intelligences must not exceed 20% of the total human population, such as treating the Singer civilization as an enemy and avenging the destruction of the Solar System.

"The other thought is to live well in the present and plan for the future. Some outdated things should be timely discarded, and we call them the Modernity Faction.

"Their proposals include that being enemies with the Singer is a thankless task, humans are not assured to completely defeat and annihilate the Singer, and for the time being, we should not act against them.

"These two factions have formed a clear opposition on most issues!

"Even the Wallfacers have thus formed oppositions, efficiency has become sluggish, and there are often cases of orders changing overnight.

"The opposition between the two factions has become almost irreconcilable, and if it continues to develop this way, a split is very likely to occur.

"Therefore, I suggest waking you up to mediate the conflict between the two sides.

"Most of the Historian Faction are your admirers, and the main leader of the Modernity Faction is none other than Jiang Yanqi, who has a unique affection for you and is also willing to follow your arrangements."

Jiang Yu asked, "Are the main members of the Modernity Faction high-end artificial intelligences?"

"No, we have always been somewhat wary of high-end intelligences," said Wei Xiang. "Most members of the Modernity Faction are humans, although the Historian Faction is not very friendly toward high-end artificial intelligences.

"That's why Jiang Yanqi chose to stand on the side of the Modernity Faction. He made outstanding contributions to humanity during the Great Depression and earned a lot of war merits thereafter, gaining the respect of the people of the Solar System State.

"He is now one of only two intelligent Wallfacers in the Solar System State and has great appeal."

Jiang Yu asked again, "Does humanity have the capability to wage war against the Singer civilization?"

"It is a common understanding that we do," replied Wei Xiang. "Especially after we made tremendous breakthroughs in the technology of virtual particle transmission, we can instantly transport any material within a thousand light-years!

"But now we are still unable to transport intelligent beings such as humans. The theoretical process of this transport is accomplished through the transformation of real material particles and virtual particles.

"The human body can, in fact, be transported, but consciousness cannot get through.

"We have conducted experiments, and without exception, all subjects who went through the transport turned into vegetative states.

"But if we simply use this technology to transport materials, we have a good chance of victory, as warships in the rear can deliver supplies to the battlefield incessantly in a very short time!"

"Once they arrive at the battlefield, the soldiers can then command the warships to fight."

Jiang Yu suddenly thought of a question, "It sounds like the current model of combat still involves soldiers using real-time communication systems from the rear to operate warships at the front line.

"Then why did so many people die in the previous Great Depression War?"

Wei Xiang sighed, "That was because of political correctness!"

He continued, "Almost no one died on the battlefield, but the Governing Council executed many who supported and sympathized with Wallfacer Jiao Zuo.

"After Jiao Zuo's victory, he executed a large number of the New Aristocracy.

"Together, the number of people executed reached more than three million!"

Jiang Yu sighed, "Indeed, taking sides is always the most dangerous action and not taking sides is even more dangerous."

Then he asked, "In simple terms, to what extent has humanity developed now?"

"Generally, we consider the starfield within a radius of three thousand light-years as the territory of the Solar System State, and our colonization approach is still a combination of point and area styles," Wei Xiang said:

"With such a vast expanse of territory, thanks to the substantial progress of jump-drive spaceships, our fastest ship is now up to 300 times the speed of light!

"That means we can traverse the entire Solar System State within ten years.

"Jump-drive spaceships ensure the integrity of the Solar System State's territory, and we can still concentrate the force of the entire Solar System State in a short time!"

Jiang Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Good."

He then asked, "Since you've called me here for help, what kind of authority will I have? What kind of support will you give me?"

Wei Xiang said, "Your status among the Wallfacers is extraordinary; you can directly take on the title of 'Jiang Zero One,' with authority over all other Wallfacers!

"You can enjoy the same treatment as before, with supreme command over military and diplomatic affairs.

"Since your consciousness was also preserved, and we have been giving Wallfacers numerical designations, we always left 'Zero One' vacant, just for the day when we would awaken you so that you could have the title of Zero One."

Jiang Yu smiled, "Indeed, only Wallfacers understand Wallfacers."

Now that he had such great power, dealing with matters would be easier. He said, "I need to understand the specifics first before making detailed arrangements."

Wei Xiang nodded, "Of course, if you have any questions, you can ask the Milky Way Computer or contact me at any time."

He bowed slightly to Jiang Yu, "I shall take my leave now."

Wei Xiang suddenly disappeared; it turned out that he had been communicating with Jiang Yu using holographic imaging technology all along.

Jiang Yu was also a little stunned; he had sensed Wei Xiang's long sighs a few times, not expecting that it wasn't the man himself, "Does this holographic imaging technology now simulate details like breathing?"

He then asked, "Milky Way Computer, am I on Blue Maiden Star right now?"

"Hello." An elegant young girl appeared at the doorway, bowing slightly to Jiang Yu, "I'm pleased to serve you. You are currently on Earth!"

Jiang Yu was startled, "Earth, has Earth joined the Planetary System?"

"No," said the Milky Way Computer, "This is the Solar System."

It added, "The reborn Solar System!"
