Chapter 380: The Great Interaction of the Solar System State_1

The hundred million emails previously sent provided Jiang Yu with some good, albeit fantastical, ideas.

Jiang Yu thought that those good ideas were essentially similar to his own.

For instance, the most feasible future massive interstellar migration, and concepts like Wandering Earth, carrying a planet to escape disaster.

Jiang Yu was very pleased to see that many citizens of the Solar System State did not regard the interstellar migration undertaken by a minorities as a crime, unlike the PDC and Fleet International.

Of course, intense debates would erupt within the Solar System State over which small group should be the pioneers in exploring other star systems in the future, but it would not escalate to the level of a crime against humanity, where all possible paths are shut to everyone.

About this, Jiang Yu was very proud, being able to fundamentally change humanity was essential to cope with the unpredictable situations after humans enter the Dark Forest.

It was a symbol of national confidence; people believed that the Solar System State could enable everyone to evade the Dark Forest Strike, unlike the extremely cautious populace of the PDC.

This was actually a fundamental difference in how governments manage their countries; the Solar System State, even during the stagnant years for people's livelihoods in the past half-century, always tried to ensure fairness and justice, promoting the interests of the general populace.

Whereas the PDC and Fleet International always represented the interests of the conglomerates.

It was only the enormous pressure from the Solar System State that kept them from going too far.

But the citizens of the PDC, from the bottom of their hearts, could never trust their government and those hypocritical conglomerates.

That's why there was such a big difference between the two.

The Wallfacer Office received some ideas that were wildly imaginative, which modern technology could hardly realize.

For example, some suggested working hard to develop interstellar shuttle technology; others proposed breaking through "light particle" technology so that when the Dark Forest launched a "light particle" strike, they could fight back with "light particles".

Some even drew inspiration from Sophon's breakthrough and suggested developing consciousness transfer technology, uploading human consciousness into a virtual world, and having a very small part of the population carry the consciousness of many out of the Solar System.

To Jiang Yu, and all of humanity, these were precious treasures.

While the citizens of the PDC were still questioning the Dark Forest Law and wallowing in pessimism, the entire population of the Solar System State was actively responding.

Therefore, Jiang Yu planned to have a huge interaction with the residents of the Solar System State.

Sean and the other seven were students from Jupiter University who recommended the use of consciousness transfer technology to cope with the Dark Forest Strike.

Although their approach and processes were somewhat different, the end goals were the same.

Sean and the others were thrilled to meet Number Three; everyone knew he was the right-hand man of Wallfacer Jiang Yu.

Number Three continued, "Your ideas are similar, but the details of your individual plans are still rough, which is why you were called to school, hoping you could communicate and come up with a more mature idea.

"I have also ordered your school's Hubble II to simulate a realistic environment within thirty light-years of the Solar System for you to test your plans.

"Please remember, this simulation is very realistic, and many galactic environments have been supplemented by the Wallfacer through special methods.

"The Wallfacer also reminds you that your greatest obstacle will be public sentiment."

Sean and the others couldn't contain their excitement. Did this mean the Wallfacer had seen their plans?

A female student asked, "In the future, I mean after our plans have been perfected, will we have the opportunity to meet the Wallfacer?"

Number Three smiled and said, "Yes, whether you succeed or not, the Wallfacer will meet with you and thank you for your contribution.

"The Wallfacer also mentioned that in that simulated world, you are essentially Wallfacers,"

Number Three paused and then continued, "Another thing I need to remind you of is that you will not be able to enter the simulated world during class time. You are students, and no matter the circumstances, academics must come first."

"Furthermore, this simulator is not just for your use. Jupiter University is merely the main sponsor of the project, and there are nearly twenty thousand people who have access to this simulated world."

"Those who can log into this virtual world are all like you, with similar ideas."

"You can discuss in virtual chat rooms and organize real-life exchanges in your respective provinces. There will be staff from the Wallfacer Office to guide and manage you."

"At the same time, many scholars from the Academy of Sciences working on brain research and electronic signal studies are willing to offer you free technical consultation services."

"The Wallfacer also made it clear that this is not a classified project. You can discuss it with friends and family to pool ideas!"

After Number Three finished speaking, Sean and others engaged in passionate and excited discussions right away.

The more they discussed, the more feasible their plan seemed to them.

Having asked the intelligent teacher for details about entering the simulated world, they agreed to log in tonight to carry out their plan.

The parents of Sean and his peers were the first to learn of this, and while they were happy for their children, they couldn't help but worry about the plan for the mass uploading of human consciousness.

They thought the plan was too idealistic.

But their concerns quickly dissipated because the Wallfacer Office held a press conference, announcing that eight proposals had entered the discussion phase, and the one by Sean and his peers was just one of them.

The most mainstream was the large-scale interstellar migration plan—of one hundred million emails, more than fifty million emails were elaborating on the interstellar migration plans using various spacecraft.

The number of supporters for this plan was so high that they needed to access their designated simulated worlds in batches.

Meanwhile, more of the most advanced Hubble II central computers were being manufactured to facilitate their entry into the simulated world as soon as possible.

The idea supported by Sean and his peers was among the least popular of the eight proposals.

Without exception, they were all convened by Number Three to discuss and simulate their supported plans outside of work and study time.

Of course, Number Three isn't a deity and was not able to notify everyone personally. The initial notifications and organization for the eight plans were carried out by five large Hubble II central computers using Number Three's image.

A total of more than seventy million people were granted access to eight different simulated worlds. Those who were not given such access had their suggestions unadopted, and the reasons for non-adoption were also responded to via email.

Nowadays, the citizens of the Solar System State number over five hundred and thirty million.

This means that one-eighth of the population was involved in actions to counter the Dark Forest, and this one-eighth also engaged others in participating in this topic.

So, in the years following two years after the broadcast, the Solar System State spent its time in heated discussions about these plans, with lobbying and controversy everywhere. Conversations about countermeasures to the Dark Forest could be heard all around.

Meanwhile, the PDC during broadcast year two was going through a phase of major construction, with humanity seeming to thrive more than ever.

Before long, January of broadcast year three arrived, kicking off a year of turmoil and disaster.

For those living on Earth and the Moon, it was a tumultuous year that saw a fierce war and global outbreaks of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis on a massive scale.

The catalyst for all of this began with the Solar System State returning the Hubble II to the PDC.
