The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 196 Strategic Deterrence
Walking on the moon is not as easy as imagined.

There is an intelligent lunar rover following them, in order to prevent them from exhausting their physical strength and not having enough physical strength to go back.

Jiang Yu felt that when he stepped on it, it was like stepping into cotton wool, and he didn't know how to use the strength of his legs and feet.

Only then did he understand that the purpose of the pair of shoes in Moon City was to use electromagnetic force to simulate the gravity of the earth, so as to avoid the feeling of being rootless under his feet.

There are already footprints everywhere in the lunar park. If there is no external damage, these footprints may not disappear for millions of years.

Burton said: "You may not imagine that the most tedious daily work in this park is to remove these footprints.

"Otherwise, after new tourists come, they will not find a place to leave footprints and take pictures."

He pointed to the crater not far away: "Only the inside of the crater was left untouched, and we first collected the dust and soil on the surface of the moon for the rest.

"The surface layer has the most helium-3 content, and then we go to mines, open parks, do construction and so on."

Jiang Yu suddenly thought of a question: "It stands to reason that helium-3 has accumulated on the surface of the moon for a long time, and the distribution should be very uniform.

"There is no wind or rain on the moon. Why are there so many helium-3 reserves in some places?"

Burton explained: "The answer to this question is basically conclusive, and the uneven distribution of helium-3 is caused by meteorite impacts and geological activities on the moon.

"According to the research of the Moon City Academy of Sciences, the moon still had geological activities [-] to [-] million years ago."

Jiang Yu sighed, "Hundreds of millions of years!"

He stopped and took a break: "You don't have anything else to tell me?"

"Yes!" Burton said: "When you wake up this time, no matter what, you have to adjust the strategy for Moon City and set new goals.

"Although the crisis of the moon is not imminent, it is not far from us. We must plan early."

Jiang Yu continued to walk forward: "You continue to talk."

Burton said: "I think Moon City has no strategic depth right now, so there is a sense of crisis.

"Well, it should be said that in space, there is no strategic depth like that of National Geographic. Unless it is dug deep into the interior of the moon, any place is extremely fragile.

"The strategic depth in space should be the depth between planets!
"For example, if we also have power on Mars, and the PDC is not sure to wipe us out in one fell swoop, then they will have concerns when they want to do it.

"Our strategic deterrence has been formed, so the next step for Moon City is to actively build the power of Mars.

"Right now in Mars City, Di Fengyi's appeal for mayor is high, this is a rare opportunity.

"Of course the PDC will definitely obstruct this matter, and we can even sacrifice some of the interests of Moon City in exchange for the post of mayor.

"At the same time, Moon City must continue to maintain an open and communicative attitude. Only when we are entangled with the interests of the enemy and they move us will they have greater concerns."

While talking, the three of them had already boarded the crater.

On one side is a huge round pit, and on the other side is the whole picture of Moon City.

When I was climbing just now, I didn't feel how steep the slope was. Now that I reached the highest point of the crater, Jiang Yu realized that the crater is still very high.

At least from here, you can look down on the Moon City, which is tens of meters high. The outside of the Moon City is not as smooth as the inside. There are iron frames for fixing and places connecting with the uneven moon foundation.

It's like putting a brick in the desert, no matter how uneven the surrounding area is, the brick will stick there squarely.

There is also a busy construction site in the distance, many lunar trucks, and J32 are shuttling on the construction site.

The shelves in the new section have been erected and are now undergoing final assembly.

In such a busy construction site, there is no sound at all. In the eyes of Jiang Yu and others, the busy construction site is more like a large-scale mime.

Jiang Yu admired the panorama of Moon City before asking Burton again: "Is there anything else to say?"

Burton was taken aback before he said again: "Director Di and I have no collusion, we both think this is the most feasible path."

"I didn't take this matter to heart, and your thoughts do have some truth." Jiang Yu said to Burton:
"Although you didn't disappoint me, you haven't done enough, far from enough!"

He sighed and said: "There are some things that you need to figure out on your own to truly understand, and telling you will only make you more confused.

"Think about it carefully. We will have a small meeting tomorrow. If you can figure it out before the meeting, I will rest assured that I will continue to hand over Moon City to you."

After speaking, Jiang Yu took the lead and started down the mountain.

Back in Moon City, I put on the magnetic shoes, and then I felt down-to-earth again.

After entering the residential area, Jiang Yu immediately went back to the hotel, while Burton returned to his office thoughtfully.

Soon on the [-]rd, Burton, Bill, Di Fengyi, and Baker will be notified to hold a meeting at [-]:[-] noon tomorrow to discuss the next step of Moon City.

Bill's team is facing a big enemy. Although this is a small meeting, they all know that this should be the meeting where Jiang Yu makes the final decision.

The team of the Academy of Sciences formulated a strategy for Bill to argue at the meeting overnight, tried every means to attack the loopholes in Burton's strategy, and at the same time tried their best to persuade Jiang Yu to support the strategy of the Academy of Sciences.

For this meeting, Bill himself only slept for more than three hours, listening to the strategies of the strategy team.

But Burton was not so busy here. He wanted to understand a lot of things after he came back.

Baker was even more unprepared. He knew that he was just going to listen in tomorrow.

Early the next morning, in a small meeting room in the city hall, Bill, who came to the venue first, was still looking at the documents.

Burton was contemplating, while Di Fengyi and Baker, who had already appeared on the screen, were more relaxed and chatting quietly.

At exactly nine o'clock, Jiang Yu opened the door of the meeting room and said to No. [-] behind him, "You can also participate and take notes."

No. [-] nodded, sat in a corner, and turned on the video recorder.

After Jiang Yu sat down, he didn't rush to speak, but tapped the table lightly with his hand, seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes.

There seemed to be an atmosphere of uneasiness spreading in the air, especially Bill. For some reason, he always felt that the arguments and grounds he had prepared seemed not so reasonable.

After more than ten seconds in such a depressing atmosphere, Jiang Yu sighed: "To be honest, I am very disappointed by the situation in Moon City.

"Everyone sitting here, we first met Burton and Di Fengyi, and later Bill and Baker also joined the team.

"Generally speaking, I'm closer to Fengyi and Bill, but you two especially let me down!"

Di Fengyi lowered his head in shame, but Bill was a little confused.

Jiang Yu said solemnly: "The person sitting here is the highest authority in Moon City. Let me ask you, who else among you remembers the original intention of creating Moon City?"

Bill still didn't want to understand what was going on. Jiang Yu's question exceeded all his team's guesses. He already vaguely felt that the development of the situation was completely out of his control.

No one answered Jiang Yu's question immediately, and the meeting room fell into dead silence again.

After more than ten seconds, Burton suddenly said: "It's ashamed to say that the Wallfacer asked me to think about it yesterday, and I just remembered that the creation of Moon City was for the Wallfacer project!"
