Chapter 202: Making a Move Later (Extra for everyone's recommendation votes)_1

What happened next was not unfamiliar to Jiang Yu, Rediaz had deceived the representatives of the various countries with the non-existent "Cradle" system.

The only difference was that originally Rediaz had intended to use it when there was no turning back, but now he took the initiative to strike with his trump card.

Rediaz still had to return to his own country, and Jiang Yu and Garanin went to see him off together.

On the private plane, Garanin said to Rediaz, "With me here, this plane is safe. Please tell me the location of that hydrogen bomb."

"There's nothing at all, it's just a trick for escaping." Rediaz took off his watch and threw it to Garanin: "You keep it as a souvenir."

Garanin sighed deeply, "Why has it come to this? The Wallfacer's right to closed strategic thinking was originally intended to counter Sophon and the Trisolaran World.

"Now, you and Tyler, as well as Jiang Yu who's behind the planning for Guanghan City's autonomy, are all using it against Humanity itself."

"There's nothing strange about that," Rediaz stayed by the window, enjoying the sunlight streaming in from outside: "Now, Humanity's biggest obstacle to survival actually comes from within."

Garanin looked at Jiang Yu with a dawning realization, "So that's why you..."

"Yes," Jiang Yu said with a voice hoarse from shouting too much in the meeting room, "I understood the moment I became a Wallfacer that a Wallfacer's enemy has always been one of their own!

"That's why I need to create an environment where the Wallfacer plan can be executed over the long term.

"The PDC's Wallfacer plan was flawed from the start, wanting the advantage of the Wallfacer's closed thinking while still guarding against the Wallfacer.

"Especially when the PDC's power became greater than that of the Wallfacer's, and started to restrict the Wallfacer's plans, I knew there was no hope for the Wallfacer plan."

Garanin exhaled deeply, "Then what should Humanity do?"

Jiang Yu smiled, "Mr. Chairman, you actually know what to do in your heart, and many of the national representatives at today's meeting also understand what to do.

"But the question is, do you have the courage to take that step?

"Centralization is only the first step, making Humanity realize the coldness of space and changing their moral outlook, no longer harboring any illusions of luck and hedonism, that's the difficult part.

"I know this step is hard, unless there is a huge change in the living environment, all of Humanity will not be willing to take that step.

"The stable living environment of the Solar System has allowed Humanity to be lucky for too long, to indulge for too long.

"Only when faced with threats from space will Humanity's performance be so disappointing."

Garanin sighed again, he was all too aware of the difficulty of getting people to abandon their existing values.

Jiang Yu then said to Rediaz, "Go to the Moon, I am working hard to shape a new world.

"A new world where the advantages of individual thought and collective strength can be harnessed!

"Although the residents there won't regard you as a hero, they won't see you as a villain either!"

This time Rediaz did not immediately refuse, there was hesitation in his eyes.

Jiang Yu continued, "The feeling of fighting alone is not very pleasant, I hope we can fight side by side again in the future!"

The flame in Rediaz's eyes was rekindled: "Fine! I'll go to the Moon."

He then asked, "Once I get to the Moon, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Hibernation!" Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Humanity's hope lies in the future, not in the present."

He smiled, "Accept it, the Wallfacer is a lifelong profession; we must keep fighting until we are exhausted and dead."

Having saved Rediaz, the trip to America was not in vain.

Rediaz smiled, "I always feel like your plan is even crazier than mine!"

"It's not really crazy, but the chance of success is actually quite high!" Jiang Yu responded.

Garanin, however, said, "You can't go to the Moon, PDC will detain you at the space elevator!"

Jiang Yu laughed, "Who said we were taking the space elevator?"

As he spoke, he signaled to Number Three, who went to the cockpit, and soon the plane changed course and landed at a secluded airport in Panama.

When Jiang Yu got off the plane, he shook hands with Garanin, "Take care, Mr. President. Rest assured, the Wallfacer Project will bring hope to humanity, but you may not be able to see it."

Garanin was immediately overcome with tears, "Thank you for your dedication!"

Cars were already prepared outside the airport, and Jiang Yu took Rediaz to a towering building not far from the airport.

Upon Jiang Yu's arrival, a wall of the building suddenly opened; it wasn't a wall at all, but a door disguised as one.

The building itself wasn't structured with separate floors as it appeared from the outside, but was a unified structure from top to bottom.

After the massive steel doors opened out to both sides, a launch tower and a rocket several dozens of meters tall were revealed inside.

Jiang Yu and his companion got out of the car as the rocket transport vehicle slowly drove out of the building, carrying the rocket and launch tower with it.

Only when they got close could they appreciate the immense size of the rocket, which was as tall as a ten-story residential building!

Jiang Yu said, "This is a secret launch base built concurrently with the implementation of one of my secret projects that has yet to be disclosed.

"I promised to share the rocket technology with Panama as part of that plan, which is why the secret launch base had the support of Panama and was never discovered by the PDC countries.

"Since the space elevator was built, many of the mass-produced rockets by the PDC council members were just sitting in warehouses getting moldy.

"Buying a rocket in Panama's name wasn't too difficult, after all, they were already obsolete."

Rediaz looked up at the towering rocket, "Were you prepared for this day all along?"

"As PDC increasingly didn't regard us as one of their own, a falling out was inevitable, so naturally, I had to have a contingency plan."

On the rocket transport vehicle, people were waving at Jiang Yu and Rediaz.

Jiang Yu said, "Go ahead! We'll see each other in the future."

Rediaz was taken aback, "Aren't you coming with me to the Moon?"

"The power of Guanghan City will prevent PDC from doing anything to me," Jiang Yu said with a smile:

"If I were to go to Guanghan City with you, the PDC member countries would see it as a significant threat, thinking I'm ready to completely turn against them.

"Then they would have no scruples. Right now, the power of Guanghan City is not yet strong enough to contend with the countries."

While unbuttoning his suit, Rediaz said, "I understand, goodbye!"

He ran toward the rocket transport vehicle, tossing his suit jacket on the ground as he went.

On the transport vehicle, now moving slowly, Rediaz entered the elevator in the umbilical tower, and inside the command capsule at the top of the rocket, an experienced astronaut was already on standby.

Now, with no time to spare and no concern for a launch window, the rocket would launch as soon as possible if the weather was mostly clear.

An hour later, the rocket had reached the launch site and, after only a few minutes of preparation, was immediately launched.

Jiang Yu waved to the rocket soaring into the sky, then turned to Number Three, "Let's go home."

The Moonside spacecraft awaiting in space had already reached the designated position. If the rocket launch was successful, the command capsule could dock with the spacecraft in a few hours, and Rediaz would arrive at Guanghan City in two days.

The PDC Seven had all detected the rocket launch but were a step behind. Over an hour later, PDC armed personnel quickly arrived on the scene.

By this time, Jiang Yu was already on a plane, on his way home.
