I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 383: An ant’s nest, a wanderer returns to his hometown [7,300 words]
At this time, the human quantum information monitoring network has just been reconstructed and is being debugged, and it can only scan a range of one-third light-years.
When the whereabouts of this prismatic fleet was captured, it was less than a quarter of a light-year from the edge of the solar system.
The opponent did not suddenly appear across space like a spherical warship, but showed its shape early in the universe, and then jumped forward one by one along the network of curvature lines of gravity.
This jump can be named as a mid-range jump, and each jump advances a distance of about 0.005 light-years, with an average of one jump per second.
So the Prism fleet reaches the edge of the Sun Dome in about 50 seconds.
During these 50 seconds, Chen Feng quickly re-adapted to the control and performance of the Colossus, while thinking a lot in his mind.
He tried to empty his mind and stay absolutely calm, but he couldn't.
He is a man after all, not a machine.
He no longer needs to emphasize to himself how firm the compound-eye civilization is about destroying the earth's civilization.
His hatred first originated from confusion, then took root in his understanding of the rules of the universe, and now he is somewhat calm.
Chen Feng subconsciously recalled the argument he had discussed with Zhong Lei about poisonous ants killing elephants.
Now he has some new ideas.
Assume that nothing exists outside the universe, that the universe is just the sun and the earth.
Then the ecological environment of the earth represents the whole universe.
What is the smallest creature on Earth that humans could possibly empathize with?
It must be an animal that is visible to the human eye and can basically distinguish its physiological characteristics.
It is the ants and the mole crickets, collectively known as the mole ants.
Among all microscopic animals, humans spend the longest time looking at ants, and think about the most divergent thoughts because of ants.
Those ancient proverbs and idioms allusions that are widely circulated and have a long history are proof.
The ants are still struggling to survive.
The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant.
I would like to devote my whole life to the power of ants and open the hearts of all students.
The Tao is unpredictable, and there is no rest; the sky is unpredictable, and humans are ants.
The ants are shaken on the iron pillar.
Ants mostly kill elephants.
How light is the life of an ant.
The aging of the ants is not enough for redemption, and the tears are like flying snow.
Wait, wait, and so on.
Even in the 21st century, with the continuous rise of online literature and the era when humans can even see tardigrades and H39 with a microscope, online authors always love "little ants, Angan..." sentence pattern.
The discussion between Chen Feng and Zhong Lei also revolved around the ants.
An ant is not only a self-deprecating self-deprecation of human beings, but also a kind of infinite yearning.
There is vigilance, admiration, and contempt in these old sayings.
Why do literati and writers always struggle with ants?
Of course, it's not that they are idle and have nothing to do, but because ants are small and fragile, but they can really cause a lot of trouble to humans.
After death, seemingly indomitable humans and other large creatures will be cheaper both ants and microbes that are invisible to the naked eye.
Because human eyes cannot see the appearance of microorganisms eating corpses, they do not feel disgusted, but if they see groups such as ants and flies covering the corpse, they will be both disgusted and fearful, and full of anger.
However, shouldn't ants have the qualifications to survive on earth?
Of course there should be.
It remains part of the ecological cycle of the Earth's "universe".
Moreover, although ants are weak and small, anyone can easily kill them, but thousands of years have passed, no matter how wide the scope of human influence is, the population of ants has not decreased significantly, and they are still ubiquitous and live very well. it is good.
It is clear that humans, elephants, tigers, anteaters, and even a dog can bring disaster to the ant population, not to mention the real apocalypse such as heavy rains and forest fires, the earth's environment should be dangerous for ants , but the fact is that the vast majority of ants can live their entire lives in peace.
Some ant populations can last for dozens or even thousands of generations in peace and harmony.
The earliest ant colonies on Earth date back as far as 100 million years ago.
In these hundreds of millions of years, one seemingly powerful large species has perished, and the ant, a small but strong species, still stands on the earth in huge numbers.
So, who is more vulnerable?
Why are small and fragile ants so tenacious?
Just because of the huge number base?
Obviously not, the advantage of ants lies in their high reproductive capacity and "short" lifespan.
Yes, short lifespan is also an advantage.
Ants are generally divided into three categories, queens, soldiers and workers.
Among them, worker ants are the largest and most common.
The lifespan of worker ants varies from a few days to several years, depending on the subgenus.
The lifespan of most worker ants is about ten weeks, a little over two months.
The long life of an ant's "self-righteousness" is just a flick of a finger for humans and large animals.
An ant's lifespan is too short, and he can't wait for a disaster to be a wrongful death, and he will die.
Therefore, most ants are really happy and peaceful to go through their lives, and they are really not afraid of death.
However, the earth does not represent the universe, and the proportion difference between the earth and the universe is far greater than that of the ant.
The position of human beings in the universe is not even one-billionth of that of ants to the earth.
Because of the huge population base, when not being watched by large creatures, the individual ants and their populations are in an absolutely safe state in terms of probability.
Ants will only be accidentally stepped on by large creatures in a very small probability, or they will unfortunately die when they encounter a bear child who likes to play with water or fire.
If the earth is also regarded as an isolated ant, then human civilization is also in a probabilistic safe house.
The probability of safety is very high, even so high that the risk factor is negligible.
But...
When an ant smelled the scent of honey, climbed up to the table in the courtyard, and then appeared on the dessert of the angry child, and then the angry child's eyes turned from his iPad and fell to the line When a line of hard-working worker ants is on the body, the safety factor of the ants will suddenly decrease, and the risk factor will reach the threshold.
Or, to put the situation into a random and accidental perspective, the ants were just passing by in groups in the courtyard, and a curious child happened to see it.
At the moment of being watched, the ant's safe house shattered, replaced by absolute danger, and there was absolutely no room for resistance.
A naughty human child would just take a water hose and pour it into the ant just for fun.
Higher civilization destroys lower civilization, no reason, just for fun.
If you have to find a reason, it can be said that the child is distressed for his dessert, or that the ant colony is eating the dead butterfly that he thinks is very beautiful.
What if, this child just had a nightmare last night, dreaming that he was eaten by a crazy ant colony after his death.
And these ants also appeared personified in his nightmares, gnawing meat and making savage laughter.
It's not hard to guess where the story goes next.
In a word, the gaze of the lower beings facing the gazes of the higher beings represents danger.
Now humans are faced with "angry children".
The Sun Dome is the excavator used by angry children to shovel soil. When the shovel goes down, the ant will be dug up by the roots, isolated from the earth, and turned into a turtle in a urn and a fish in a bottle.
The ball-shaped battleship was the first drop of water from the huge faucet in the hands of the angry child.
In the previous seven timelines, this drop easily destroyed everything.
Now Chen Feng has turned into a kind of fire, ignited the flame of civilization, and evaporated this drop of water.
But "Stinky Child" can observe the strength of the ants in the nest through the camera installed on the shovel of the excavator, and this smelly child also has some biological knowledge, knowing that a drop of water cannot drown all the ants in the nest.
So now the angry child handed over the faucet and opened the gate to let out the water, but it was still boiling water.
Those millions of prismatic warships are the scalding boiling water rushing towards the ants, leaving no trace of life.
At this moment, when he wanted to understand this truth, Chen Feng felt a sudden realization.
He is both sad and optimistic.
He must accept his fate.
It's time to give up the fantasy, I really can't win this time.
If human beings are really ants, it would be great if there are countless nests in the universe.
Unfortunately not.
We are only on Earth, only in the Milky Way.
We are so lonely and small.
All is said and done.
Since human civilization passed through the stage of ape-man after countless years behind, and was born on the earth, it was doomed to today's situation.
If people on earth really have the most perfect potential, and the quantum storm in their brains can really match the complexity of the universe, then this in turn can only show that people on earth may be the last civilization born in the universe.
In this cosmic race involving countless civilizations, the people of Earth have fallen behind for too many years.
Even if the next track is still very long, but the forerunners in front of them will drop unavoidable mines along the way, and it will be futile for the Earthlings to chase.
Chen Feng also has a new understanding of fate.
In the past, he had resented the group of people who launched the Voyager more than once in his heart, and firmly believed that it was the arrogance and ignorance of these people that brought the doomsday.
But now he has changed his mind, even if there is no Voyager plan, the existence of human beings will be exposed to the universe sooner or later.
This could happen in the twenty-first century, it could happen in the twenty-fifth century, or even the thirty-fifth century.
Unless Earthlings give up their potential, the fate of war cannot be escaped.
But how can this potential be given up?
Whether you want to or not, there is no way to do it.
How can human beings not advance unless they take the initiative to perish?
On the way forward, Earth civilization will inevitably be forced or actively participate in the cruel competition of the universe.
Perhaps not every extraterrestrial civilization is full of maliciousness, but there are also good aliens.
But the pace of human progress does not stop every day, and it will definitely encounter a very powerful and irresistible malicious civilization in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day.
Even if the human civilization at that time is already more powerful than compound eyes, it is not necessarily useful.
Who knows how big the universe is, how many billion years others have developed, and how high the level of civilization is.
Of course, what Chen Feng is not convinced is that he thinks that the Earthlings are too weak when they are targeted, and their ability to resist risks is too low.
The enemy came too soon.
No one else will give a chance to fight with dignity.
It is like a duel between two swordsmen. The weak swordsman has been practicing hard for decades and is ready to fight hard, but the stronger swordsman snaps out an AWP with his backhand.
You are already stronger, and you are sure to win. You still have a hot weapon.
It's just despicable and shameless!
In your position, you may take it for granted, but this does not prevent my unwillingness.
The prismatic battleship fleet finally got closer and stopped abruptly ahead.
The front end of the enemy ship's cones is directly inside the Sun Dome.
Then, the million-prism battleship was like an orange that had been torn apart, a crack opened slightly in the middle, and blade beetles floated out one after another.
At the same time, the top of the prismatic battleship suddenly glowed with dazzling white light.
Testing instruments show that an ultra-high energy reaction is taking place there.
The ultra-high-power "Song of the World" suddenly played in the solar system.
One particle bomb after another is brewing at breakneck speed.
The space within the solar system suddenly begins to become viscous, showing a large area of dark energy quantification.
An alarm was given in the quantum communicator, showing that the intensity of nuclear reactions in the sun at the center of the solar system was suddenly increased by a million times.
The explosion of sunspots, which can only be seen for decades, is bursting out at an ultra-high frequency of hundreds of millions of times per second.
It's still a familiar taste, and the compound-eyed person has come up with a terrible method that is enough to crush human beings.
The dispute that occurred in the previous spherical warship may be here.
If the spherical warships waited for this batch of real prismatic warships, then human beings would naturally have no resistance.
But maybe it's because the real manipulator of the spherical warship, the fifty-five compound-eyed man's body is eager for credit, and he is too big, and firmly believes that with forty blade beetles, he can kill all human beings. Hastily acted, and eventually ended up being wiped out by the entire army.
Of course, the compound eye who made the decision is also very clear that even if it dies, it will not affect the overall situation, anyway, there are people behind.
At this time, Chen Feng controlled the colossus of the star and slowly floated forward.
He gritted his teeth, his pupils fiery.
Forget it.
This time I accept the fate of perdition.
But the ancients said, ants are still struggling to survive.
I know I'm an ant, but I don't accept the fate of closing my eyes and waiting to die!
I'll give you a taste of what it's like to be bitten on your finger, and then poisoned by me with a burning pain!
Chen Feng began to concentrate and perfectly linked his brain thinking with the Star Front Colossus.
He tried moving his fingers.
The nearly one-kilometer-long finger of the star-blade colossus bent slightly, and squeezed the two unified force cutting blades in his hand.
The colossus' chest began to rise and fall slightly like a human body, as if taking a deep breath.
A huge amount of positron conversion source material is thrown into the tumor ball engine.
Nearby warships and fighter jets were affected by radiation, and a burst of harsh background noise suddenly sounded.
For the first time, Chen Feng started the curvature flight state belonging to humans, and a layer of faint curvature bubbles firmly wrapped him.
At this time, behind him, the scientific research space station, engineering ship, medical ship and other functional units are rapidly retreating, and the battleship and combat armor are still rapidly preparing their formations.
Since the power of "Song of the Otherworld" cannot be suppressed, the human fleet must face the sweeping of particle bombs.
Nowadays, humans have a wealth of experience in combating particle bombs.
When the battleships form a formation, they are no longer stationary, but spread out. Large battleships maintain a distance of more than 300 kilometers from each other, maintaining random movement to prevent bombs from being directly dropped into the cabin.
And the new multi-function battlefield scanner can quickly detect abnormal fluctuations when particle bombs are brewing, and assist warships and small combat units to complete rapid repositioning.
Outside, after tens of millions of blade beetles flew out one after another, the prismatic battleship array outside the sun dome changed again.
The prismatic warships no longer cluster together, but begin to spread out in all directions in a mid-range leap.
At the same time, the violent chain explosion caused by a large number of particle bombs dropped in the air began.
The airspace where the human fleet is concentrated is shrouded in countless floating "Ghost Fire" bombs.
The same is true for the Escape Fleet.
Fortunately, the Tinder and Germination ships have special enhancements in power and shielding.
The past experience has helped a lot, and the overall human casualties are not large.
What really kills human beings is that the combat units are "eaten" by some undetectable dark black groups from time to time in the process of shifting their positions.
At the same time, with the exception of galactic humans whose arousal has risen above 35%, the thinking patterns of most people have begun to change invisibly.
The penetration and influence of the ultra-high-power "Song of the World" is too strong, if everyone is put into the logical thinking training bin dedicated to the manufacture of particle bombs.
Although "Song of the World" can only change the thinking mode, it will not fundamentally distort people's three views, but when the driver's thinking becomes rigid and rigid, the ability to change direction loses its randomness, and it is more likely to be Involved in the prediction of particle bombs, the rate of casualties suddenly accelerated.
Chen Feng couldn't do anything about it.
He was a little overwhelmed.
The Star Front Colossus has strong resistance to particle bombs, but if it is thrown into the interior to detonate, the consequences are unpredictable, so he also has to perform a large-scale hovering maneuver in the state of curvature movement.
Another tens of seconds passed, and the prismatic battleship outside completely completed the evolution.
This formation made Chen Feng somewhat incomprehensible.
The million prismatic battleships are evenly distributed outside the Sun Dome and are spaced at the same height from each other.
The strong white light at the top of the prismatic battleship is not a heavy cannon, but branched into several strips from the top of the battleship like tree roots, spreading out horizontally, turning into a thick arc of lightning rushing forward, and then colliding with another White lightning link from another battleship.
It didn't take long for the tops of these prismatic battleships to connect with white lights, forming a new large net outside the sun dome.
The grids of the big net rippling faintly from time to time, emitting tiny electric lights.
Although Chen Feng had never seen this kind of technology, the technical department analyzed that the characteristics of these electric beams were similar to the white beams fired by spherical warships before, but the energy intensity was much higher again.
According to the analysis of the technical department, the Dianmang chain network is the own technology that compound eyes are proficient in.
The purpose of the other party's actions is to prepare to collect the sun dome, and then use its own technology to achieve perfect suppression.
As expected, after the chain network was formed, the sun dome began to flicker again and was about to disappear.
Chen Feng counted down in his heart based on his own experience.
"Three, two, one..."
In the command ship, Tang Tianxin picked up the communicator and said in a calm tone: "Everyone, for every second we persevere, we can collect an additional second of intelligence for Chen Feng. Soldiers, scholars, and workers. , for yourself, for the future, in order to one day get the qualification to live freely under the stars, in order to see what the universe looks like, hold the weapon in your hand! Fight to the last moment!"
The Sun Dome is gone!
Chen Feng, who was performing a small-scale random maneuver, suddenly turned his direction and sprinted toward the nearest prismatic battleship in the universe along the broken line.
The other human fleets launched their desperate charge almost simultaneously.
After losing the stars, Tang Tianxin can no longer control the battleship perfectly both macroscopically and microscopically. She can only re-divide the fleet into eight new integrated legions, and then give the commanders of the major legions a relatively high degree of flexibility. instruction.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng rushed to less than 3,000 kilometers ahead of a prismatic warship, but he did not rush forward.
In the process of charging, his eyelids suddenly jumped wildly, and his warning signs suddenly came to life. After making multiple direction-changing maneuvers in a row, he opened the distance again, and then reviewed the combat report. Only then did he realize that he was in front of the gate of hell. Walked around.
It turned out that the distance between the Sun Dome and the enemy ship formation was already full of dark, stacked black masses on his way forward.
These dark black masses do not have any photoelectric effect, nor do they release gravity to the outside world. They should be a unique way of using dark matter.
In the vicinity of the dark black mass, countless physical toxins are also densely distributed.
There is a thick white arc chasing him behind him as he makes a change of direction maneuver.
A step forward is dead, and a little slow is dead.
When fleeing, he left some booby-trapped mines in place, and also fired a lot of live missiles.
Some missiles hit enemy ships, and some missiles were deliberately fired at grid holes between enemy ships.
The booby trap he left on the spot was hooked by the arc, melted directly, shattered, and couldn't be detonated at all, turning into a flame and burning on its own.
The missiles he fired at the enemy ship were hit by the branch-shaped arcs that were suddenly set up at the top of the enemy ship. They still melted and dissolved into extremely fine particles on the spot, and then turned into a flame.
These particles are protons and neutrons.
As for the missiles that were fired at the grid holes, it wasn't much better.
As they passed through the hollow level, wisps of tiny electric arcs swept past, and the missiles shattered into powder and scattered like fireworks.
The reason why Chen Feng retreated was because he found that the prismatic battleships that formed the battle formation were still advancing together at 0.5 times the speed of light.
According to this trend, after at most ten days, the entire solar system will be swept over by this link network.
Except for the body of the sun, all matter in the solar system will be completely broken into protons and neutrons.
Humans can only keep going backwards until the sun is behind their backs, and there is no way to go back.
"Chen Feng, we now have two choices. First, step back and try to hold on for a few more days. Second, move forward, focus on the same grid, and see if we can escape. One is the other."
Chen Feng thought for a while, "The purpose of the first plan is to live a few more days, but it also loses the opportunity to detect the enemy's means."
Tang Tianxin hummed, "Yes, so, I can only rush out."
Chen Feng nodded, "I'll try it first to see if I can open a gap."
Just when Tang Tianxin was about to order the entire army to charge, the intelligence officer suddenly shouted: "There is new information! Two unknown fleets are approaching the solar system!"
Tang Tianxin hurriedly ordered to stand by, retreated in formation, and watched the situation.
At the same time she turned on the remote projection.
After a moment, her eyes were dull.
Chen Feng also stared blankly at the projection, his mind buzzing.
The image of the Star Projector has been updated.
About 70,000 kilometers away from the rear of the prismatic battleship array, a huge fleet appeared out of nowhere.
The ships of this fleet are uniform in shape, with two upper and lower elliptical wheels, and a combined part in the middle that can see the structure of the command room.
Each spacecraft is three kilometers high, 7.7 kilometers long with two elliptical wheels, and the functional connection part in the middle is comet-shaped and 5.6 kilometers long.
The upper and lower two elliptical wheels are another development direction of curvature flight technology that has been proved theoretically feasible.
The fleet that appeared suddenly had traveled here at exactly twice the speed of light, and then suddenly slowed down.
The entire fleet consists of 80 million identical two-wheeled ships.
On the other side of the solar system, there is another vast fleet of fifty million warships in triangular geometry.
People's mood suddenly fluctuated. They didn't know where these two huge fleets came from, whether they were enemies or friends.
But the battlefield intelligence officer has quickly given two patterns.
Both of these images are painted on all galleys and triangular ships.
One is a bright red flag with fifty-six stars, and the other is the United Nations emblem that Chen Feng was once very familiar with.
Two solemn voices suddenly sounded in the human communication channel.
"Peng Zhongyun, commander-in-chief of the Proxima Fleet, report to the home planet Earth!"
"Barnary Starfleet Commander Galen Abriel reports to home planet Earth!"
"We're back!"
Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly, feeling embarrassed, but the next second he became angry again.
He roared: "Damn! Didn't I tell you never to look back!"
No one expected that at this last moment, there would be two reinforcements that were not planned at all.
More than 500 years ago, countless colonial ships were sacrificed halfway, but human beings still succeeded in establishing two colonies in Proxima Centauri and Barnard Galaxy.
Now the "wanderers" in the two colonies have broken their vows five hundred and forty years ago and arrived at the battlefield at this decisive moment almost simultaneously.
Their sense of time seems to have gone awry, seventeen hours and eight minutes late, but it's finally here.
Peng Zhongyun and Galen looked at Chen Feng's image in Quantum Communication at the same time~IndoMTL.com~ and were stunned for a moment, then ecstatic for a moment, and then quickly calmed down.
The two commanders looked at each other, and Peng Zhongyun said first: "Hello, this general who looks exactly like the sage Chen Feng, we must and can only participate in this war. Unless we can eliminate this compound eye here today. Otherwise, the galaxy will never be peaceful, and mankind will have nowhere to go.”
Gallon said again: "Sorry, we really can't turn a blind eye. The Milky Way is infinitely huge to us, but for the compound eyes, it only takes a thousand years to complete a patrol. We can't stay out of it. The stars are destroyed, and it will be our turn next.”
Chen Feng pondered for a moment, "So you all decided to return to the solar system to fight against you a few years ago?"
Gallons: "Yes."
Peng Zhongyun: "Actually, the solar system barrier is now shrouded in the sky above the neighboring galaxies."
Gallon: "Barnard's Star is next."
Peng Zhongyun: "Unless we can go further and leave the Milky Way to go to extragalactic galaxies, we will have no choice. In the past five hundred years, our two major colonies have been in contact with some other civilizations in the Milky Way. We can determine this branch. The fleet is the entire military force of the compound eye civilization in the galaxy."
In an instant, Chen Feng understood a lot.
He adjusted his body slightly, turned his head to look at the array of prismatic battleships in front, "It's okay, whether it's successful or not, kill him happily."
The three commanders, Tang Tianxin, Gallon, and Peng Zhongyun, gave orders almost at the same time.
"All-out attack!"
"Leave no reserves! Charge!"
"Forward!"
