Chapter 460 - Debate

The gene sequencing, biological signs, and a series of other examination results for the Fourth Wallfacer all showed a similarity to humans in his genetic chain, but

— he was absolutely not the same 'species'!

The reason was simple.

Anyone with basic biological knowledge knows that the genetic similarity between humans and primitives is over 98%, but what about Emrys?

His similarity was far below that index!

Even more crucially, in the gene sequencing of the Fourth Wallfacer, there was an unknown gene that humans lacked!

How could this be human?!

No, absolutely impossible!

The US representative slammed his hand on the table, glaring angrily at the person on the screen, his eyes bloodshot, looking utterly humiliated and enraged after being deceived. 

"Emrys, the factual evidence is right here. What more do you have to argue about?!"

Seeing the 'big brother' initiate the attack, the 'younger brothers' of the UN delegation also followed suit, chattering away like noisy sparrows.

"Merlin Emrys , what else do you have to say?" The French representative and the British representative, seeing that the US had already made its stance clear, no longer bothered to pretend.

"Nothing."

Emrys, surrounded on all sides, looked like a heinous 'criminal' awaiting his final judgment under the gaze of representatives from all over the world.

He shook his head, his expression calm.

From the moment he stepped into the UN conference hall, he had already guessed the events that would unfold.

Accusations, provocations, and indictments were just the first step.

Emrys was very curious to see how far these dirty, unscrupulous politicians would go in the face of humanity's immense crisis of extinction.

His gaze swept over the various representatives on the screen, noting their differing expressions and reactions.

A great man once said this.

Politics is about distinguishing who your friends are and who your enemies are. So now, who among them was his friend, and who was his enemy?

Perhaps Emrys' calm demeanor annoyed the representatives who believed they had the upper hand.

Why?

You are clearly the prisoner!

Yet you act as if you are the one in control!

"Emrys, I advise you to be honest!"

The US representative tapped the table, snorted coldly, and said ominously. 

"You probably don't know, do you? This cell

— it was custom-made for you. Considering your 'superpowers', the metal used to construct this cell is also specially made. Even a large-yield nuclear bomb couldn't destroy it. From the moment you entered here, you will absolutely not be able to leave without our permission!"

"Oh?"

Emrys' unperturbed expression finally seemed to show some reaction. He spread his five fingers, and a surge of psionic energy gathered.

Boom!!!

The scorching flames, like a beam of light, struck the metal wall on the side, but only left a shallow white mark.

It was indeed as the US representative said.

The metal that made up this cell was specially made. With some unknown principle and technology, it was able to withstand a psionic attack!

"Hahahaha

—"

Seeing that Emrys' attack indeed failed to break the cage, the US representative, along with the British and French, all burst into mocking laughter, "Emrys, don't waste your energy."

The British representative said with a gloomy sneer. 

"The metal of this cell incorporates some 'strong interaction force' technology. With humanity's current means, it is simply impossible to destroy it!"

The strong interaction force is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. The specific physical explanation will not be elaborated here. A more intuitive experience is the 'Waterdrop'!

The 'Waterdrop' probe sent to Earth by the Trisolaran civilization was made using the 'strong interaction force'. Its surface is absolutely smooth, and it was named 'Waterdrop' because of its shape resembling a water droplet.

The solidity of ordinary matter depends on the electromagnetic force between atoms, while the surface of a Waterdrop is composed of atomic nuclei completely locked by the 'strong interaction force'. Because the atomic nuclei are completely fixed and cannot vibrate, there is no thermal motion, and the temperature is at absolute zero. At the same time, the surface atoms are arranged absolutely flat, without any molecular-level flaws, thus achieving absolute smoothness.

Furthermore, due to the tight arrangement of atomic nuclei, its density far exceeds any known substance to humans, which also constitutes the 'Waterdrop's' indestructible nature.

No wonder

Even his attack as an 'Epsilon-level' psionic at normal state could not destroy this wall.

"Strong interaction force material?" Emrys half-closed his eyes, as if he had discovered something interesting, and stared meaningfully at the US representative. 

"I'm very curious, with humanity's current scientific level, can such a thing be manufactured? Or is the origin of this thing that certain rats in the sewers gave it to you?"

The gothic and Russian representatives, who had remained silent and uncommitted, seemed to taste a different meaning from this sentence. They subconsciously looked at the Western representatives led by the US, their gazes containing a certain deep meaning.

The US representative naturally understood Emrys' implication. Seeing the meaningful gaze of the Eastern representatives, his face couldn't help but change slightly, then it turned ashen, and he lowered his voice, adding a hint of threat and chill. 

"Emrys, you underestimate humanity too much. As early as before the 'Sophon' probe arrived, we already had preliminary results in this area, and now we can naturally bring them out for use!"

This explanation sounded very strained.

As for whether to believe it, it's up to each individual.

"Excellent! Beautiful!"

Emrys couldn't help but applaud.

"The US representative's explanation truly broadened my horizons. This is truly like burning paper money at a grave."

""Wha-""

The US representative was stunned.

"He's telling you: you're trying to fool ghosts."

The elegant gothic representative 'kindly' explained it to them, even considering the limitations of English and specifically using a gothic idiom.

Bang!

"Emrys! Don't be so arrogant!"

The US representative gritted his teeth in anger, glaring at Emrys. 

"Please recognize your position. You are no longer the Wallfacer!"

"Wait

—"

Suddenly, the gothic representative spoke.

He gently tapped his pen on the table, then, under the icy gaze of the US representative, said indifferently. 

"I need to remind the US representative that revoking a Wallfacer's qualifications requires the unanimous consent of all five highest council members. Until the hearing results are out, he is still our publicly elected Fourth Wallfacer."

"gothic representative!"

A vein popped out on the US representative's forehead. Just as he was about to make a scene, the Russian representative also spoke up.

"That's right, we five elected the Wallfacer. Even if he is to be dismissed, all five of us must agree. What

— do you think this is your home?"

The Russian representative's tone was stiff, and he retorted directly. 

"Also, as for how you got your strong interaction force material, you yourselves know perfectly well, hmph hmph

—"

The US representative was panting like an ox, his eyes red.

He glared fiercely at world and Russia, then, as if he had thought of something, sneered. 

"Alright, then as you say — now that it's confirmed he's not human, can his Wallfacer status be revoked?"

"Agree."

The British representative was the first to click agree.

"Concur."

Next, it was the French representative.

"That's three votes."

The US representative stared at them icily.

The Russian representative hesitated, turning his gaze to world, seemingly waiting for their answer.

The gothic representative looked up and said unhurriedly, "Actually, he can't be completely considered not human, can he? After all, his gene sequencing is very similar to humans, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he cast his dissenting vote.

The gothic representative, like an elegant scholar, smiled, as if a little embarrassed.
