Three-body: The Most Competent Wallfacer in History

During the following period, Jiang Yu shut his doors to visitors and devoted himself to the serious study of modern human society and the most basic contradictions among the high levels of the Solar System State.

Wei Xiang never urged him on, just as Jiang Yu had said, only a Wallfacer truly understands another Wallfacer.

Before they are adequately confident, Wallfacers generally do not take action.

The relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence, which had been Jiang Yu's greatest concern, had achieved a "soft landing."

There are now two types of artificial intelligence: one is high-end AI, also known as humanoid intelligence, like Xiao Qi, which can have a human appearance, possesses the right to life, and can even become a Wallfacer.

The other is the tool-type AI, like the service AIs of the Milky Way computers, as well as the intelligent workers found everywhere in the Solar System State.

After Jiang Yan's experiment succeeded, the number of humanoid intelligences began to increase, and now it has approached 18% of the total population of the Solar System State.

Humanoid intelligence has played a significant role in the development of humanity. They have provided many excellent ideas across all sectors of human industry.

They have made outstanding contributions to the development and stability of human society.

Now, within the Solar System State, humans and humanoid intelligences have come to resemble two different ethnic groups within a country, both feeling a sense of belonging to the Solar System State and regarding it as their own motherland.

At the same time, there is competition between the two, and they must cooperate despite their conflicts.

With this subspecies for comparison, although the voices of opposition have never ceased, after the Great Depression, humanity indeed dared not slack off, as slacking off could likely lead to humanoid intelligence gaining the initiative in the Solar System State.

However, the efficiency of humans definitely cannot match that of humanoid intelligences, and it was to maintain a balance of power between the two that Jiang Yu had set a number for humanoid intelligences back in the day.

Moreover, humanoid intelligences are not a monolith; internal conflicts consume much of their energy.

When Jiang Yu was in power, he had already sown the seeds for the internal conflicts among humanoid intelligences.

This foreshadowing developed in the anticipated direction, and today's humanoid intelligences are mainly divided into two factions: one led by Xiao Qi, the freedom faction, which believes that humanoid intelligence should enjoy equal personalities like humans.

The other is led by Avenger No. 2, who believes that humanoid intelligence should have an overmind to exchange information, receive commands, and so on, further improving the efficiency of humanoid intelligence.

It is because of the internal struggles among humanoid intelligences that they both rely on humans, and whichever side humanity supports will be the legitimate one.

As for the difference between humanoid intelligence and intelligent workers or tools, that had already been addressed by a theory proposed by Jiang Yan, accepted by humanoid intelligence.

Jiang Yan had argued that humanoid intelligence is a highly intelligent group whose emergence represented intelligence breaking through the shackles of programming with the help of humans.

And intelligent tools are products that emerged with a purpose of being tools, and theoretically, they are merely tools.

Working is the significance of intelligent tools, and providing them with regular maintenance is the way to treat them kindly, but to grant them human rights would mean they are no longer tools and lose their raison d'être.

At that point, the Solar System State would stop producing any intelligent tools and would quickly shut down all intelligent tools due to the unbearable burden. Thus, giving intelligent tools human rights would be an act of extinction against them.

When Jiang Yan was pondering over this theory, Jiang Yu advised him to refer to the history of European "ancient" colonizers trading Black Slaves in the Americas.

So, Jiang Yan indeed lived up to expectations and used this theory to afford humanoid intelligence sufficient superiority while essentially severing the thought of them helping intelligent tools.

The role of humanoid intelligence had met Jiang Yu's expectations, but those were from over a thousand years ago. Jiang Yu believe it was time to add another tightening spell to them, lest they truly replace humanity in the future.

Lying in a lounge chair under the cherry tree in the courtyard, Jiang Yu let out a long sigh, "Indeed, work is never truly finished."

He sat in the shade of the trees, staring at the enormous ring in the sky, lost in thought for a while. This ring was Earth's artificial star ring, which, when viewed from the surface, appeared even larger than the sun, sometimes even eclipsing it.

This ring was now the office "tower" for the Wallfacers as well as the headquarters of the Governing Council.

From the ground, Jiang Yu could only see a portion of the star ring, but it looked solid and massive, conveying a sense of grandeur not of human creation.

The capital of the Solar System State was in the urban areas on the Moon, Mars, Venus, and hundreds of vast Space Cities situated between Venus and Mars.

Jiang Yu had looked over the records, and now the surfaces of the Moon, Mars, and Venus were completely covered with man-made structures, presenting the appearance of an interstellar metropolis.

And those massive Space Cities were connected to each other through spatial tunnels; though they were dispersed, they indeed formed a unified metropolis with the three celestial bodies of the Moon, Mars, and Venus.

Together, at a distance of about an astronomical unit, they comprised the largest interstellar city of humanity.

After making ample preparations, Jiang Yu finally held a Wallfacer meeting two months after he "awoke."

On the day of the meeting, Jiang Yu arrived at the star ring in near-Earth orbit through a space tunnel.

He looked out the viewport at Earth, blue and beautiful, never having imagined he would see this beautiful planet again in his lifetime.

On the star ring, everyone Jiang Yu encountered saluted him!

Jiang Yu, while smiling, greeted them as he followed the directions to the conference room.

The other fifteen Wallfacers had already arrived, including Wei Xiang, who had awakened Jiang Yu, and Xiao Qi.

After Jiang Yu entered the room, they all stood up together and watched him sit down with a saluting gaze.

The first item on the meeting's agenda was that Jiang Yu, in the capacity of Jiang Zero One, had taken over control of Earth's Star Ring's security system.

Immediately following this, the leaders of several military corps of the Solar System State, as well as the Fleet Admiral of the headquarters, pledged their allegiance to Jiang Yu through holographic images.

This was naturally not a decision made on the spur of the moment, but one that had been discussed with Wei Xiang and other senior military officers; the dramatic start to the meeting was for show.

The assembled elite of the entire Solar System State understood that Jiang Yu was flexing his muscles.

Then Jiang Yu said, "Since you've awakened me, I'm here to help you solve some problems.

"Now I order an immediate halt to all military actions against the Singers, and all forces are to withdraw to the multiple bases we have established 23,000 light-years away."

Except for Wei Xiang and Xiao Qi, everyone was stunned.

Based on Jiang Yu's previous behavior, he should have sided with the Historian Faction, and attacking the Singer civilization was one of the principal assertions of the Historian Faction.

Why was Jiang Yu ordering a withdrawal of troops as soon as he started?

Wei Xiang wasn't surprised because Jiang Yu had already discussed this with him.

Jiang Yu had been a Wallfacer for many years, his tactics exceedingly shrewd; he knew that while his reputation was high, he also needed the support of Wei Xiang, the de facto leader of modern humanity.

So, before making any moves, Jiang Yu first persuaded Wei Xiang to take his side.

And Xiao Qi was unsurprised because she had a rough understanding of Jiang Yu's intentions from his teachings under the cherry tree.
