Let's say for argument's sake that Zhang came to same conclusions as Blue Space but faster and acted just as fast, thereby eliminating Blue Space and ultimately prevailing in the Battle of Darkness. How would he and the crew of Natural Selection have dealt with the subsequent events Blue Space faced when the latter won the BoD in the original story?
Luo Ji told the Trisolarans that the ETO would've seen through his efforts, but I can't see it. I think the ETO and their chosen Wallbreakers just lucked out that Tyler and Diaz were so relatively transparent in their plans and methods in a manner that didn't fit the Wallfacer way.
Hines in contrast was far more opaque and while his Wallbreaker did break and expose his plan eventually, she couldn't do it in time before he did most of his damage, and even she was surprised at Hines being imprinted.
While Zhang Beyai managed to fly under the radar, his assassination plot eventually drew the Trisolaran's attention and in turn the ETO's. Even then they still couldn't see through his true nature and even they admitted that they were amateurs compared to him.
Even if the ETO's efforts weren't hampered by the Trisolarans, I still don't see them seeing through Luo Ji's efforts. They couldn't see through the significance of his spell and the Trisolaran's assassination orders. He's just too easy to dismiss as a sham, especially since the earlier part of his Wallfacer run was spent intentionally goofing off.

>The February 2025 deal that sent Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for a package built around the injury-prone Anthony Davis left Mavericks fans furious, and that anger hasn't gone anywhere.
>Masai Ujiri didn't dodge it during his introductory press conference. He called Doncic a future Hall of Famer and made clear he understands why the fanbase is still hurting.
>"There's a healing process with that," Ujiri said. "Luka is a future Hall of Famer, and that's the past. In Africa, we say, 'When Kings Go, Kings Come,' and a King went, we have a little prince here that we're going to turn into a King. I think we have to start thinking that way. Like, here. I understand what we've gone through."
>He made sure not to dismiss the pain. Ujiri acknowledged that moving on from a player of Doncic's caliber takes time, and that the frustration from fans, the organization and the broader Dallas community is there. But he was also direct about where the focus needs to go now.
>"There's no other way to do this than winning," he added. "Bringing all the players together, finding the right players, we have the draft, we have free agency, we have so many things. We have young players on our team. We have to now start focusing on this. We can't cry forever."
>That last line captures where Ujiri stands. The grief over Doncic is valid, but it should have a shelf life. His job now is to build something worth getting excited about again in Dallas.
In "Patsy", he relentlessly pursued an innocent man and even got him to plead out the first time initially. In "Act of God", he got an innocent man convicted. But the worse was arguably "Savior" where they keep pressuring an innocent man into admitting he was a family annihilator, although tjankfully he never cracked; McCoy even blamed Olivet afterwards when she made it clear that she couldn't accurately diagnose him third-hand.
