Chapter 386: Loneliness in vain
From the beginning of the war to the present.
Chen Feng has been watching his comrades-in-arms die all the time, all the time.
He struggled to stay calm.
He began to learn to use numbers to summarize the fate of his comrades.
Because he knows very well that he has no qualifications to remember, nor does he have time to immerse himself in grief.
He had to face the current situation with a relatively indifferent mind, and he basically did.
But it's hard, whenever he sees those indifferent numbers, he can't help but imagine the names and faces behind the numbers.
Although he can always move forward with indomitable progress, there are so many people he is familiar with.
When he hears "Never Walk Alone", he will still think of the tombstones of Zhong Lei, Lu Wei and others, and he will also think of himself who died alone in the universe because he couldn't find Voyager 2.
In this war, he experienced a new despair on the white giant cocoon and the blade mantis.
He's worked to the limit and did everything he could.
Fanxing, Tang Tianxin, Lin Bu, Bernsta, Na Weilun, Dong Shan, Ou Qinglan and other soldiers, every scientist, every engineer, etc., have also done everything they can do.
The humans shattered the white cocoon and annihilated the forty blade mantis of the ball battleship.
Again and again, humanity confronts despair and shatters it.
But at the moment of seeing the prismatic fleet and tens of millions of blade mantises, a deeper and greater despair swallowed everything.
This is still the end of humanity.
Then Chen Feng saw the fleets from Proxima Centauri and Barnard again.
At first he was a little excited, but the excitement came and went quickly.
Through the exchange of information between the three parties, Chen Feng solved many of the puzzles that had been confusing for a long time and found a new direction, but it was of little use to the humans in this timeline.
In the complex mood of calmness and sadness, his timeline is about to come to an end.
In the battle damage intelligence, there is a more straightforward number.
This set of numbers is called the number of remaining populations.
From more than 40 billion at the beginning, to more than 10 billion when the prismatic fleet arrived, and then to less than 2 billion now, and it is still jumping down at a rate of millions per second.
As for the situation of the reinforcement battleships, it is not much better, and the battle damage rate of the two-wheeled battleship and the triangular battleship is still tens of thousands of ships per second.
The Sun Theater is a passive defense, and there is still a certain strategic depth in the rear, but in fact, the casualty rate is a little slower.
The Proxima Centauri fleet and Barnard fleet have more room for maneuver behind them, but they are executing active attacks, and the so-called strategic depth does not exist.
Chen Feng has already seen the end from now on, and in two or three thousand seconds, only some of the planetary bases and the space stations left behind near the solar system will still be alive.
This kind of feeling that you can see the ending at a glance is too bad.
To make matters worse, after paying such a large price, none of the 999996 prismatic battleships were missing.
Not to mention damaged, the prismatic battleship has never even been hit, and it has never moved its position once, and the speed of its propulsion has never changed.
They have been moving forward silently, as if they were eternal and constant natural phenomena.
Chen Feng is familiar with such a scene.
In the second timeline, he felt the same way when he watched the space fleet explode in space without warning on television.
Because it can't be understood, the human brain will have the illusion that it seems to be a natural phenomenon.
Knowing that it is not, people just can't control the illusion in their subconscious.
The desperate situation, coupled with the deep immersion of Morrowind, affected his judgment, causing him to make a wrong decision a few seconds ago, so that he exposed his flaws and fell into the trap of the other party.
But he can't be blamed, he is also facing an unprecedented new situation.
He was completely unaware of the strength of the prismatic battleship, and it was understandable that he would make a mistake.
In other words, even if he knew that this would be the case, he would still act without hesitation when the opportunity to rush out was in front of him.
Knowing that he could go out and fight a shot, he wanted him to do nothing, and he committed suicide early for fear of being captured alive, he couldn't do it.
Now that I've seen it, I have to try it twice, and I can collect a little more data.
Otherwise, you can't find the key to solving the problem, and give up in advance for fear of being captured alive, then next time, next time...... Even later, I still can't win.
But Chen Feng's biggest advantage is that he has a strong ability to endure, even if he realizes that he is in an unprecedented huge crisis, he is not really panicked to the point of being at a loss, but quickly analyzes the situation in his mind.
After a moment, he adjusted his mentality.
He believes that the other party's trap is both a risk and an opportunity.
Capturing him alive means that the compound eye is reluctant to easily erase him.
Then he can use this as a basis to maneuver around the prismatic battleship for a while, get closer a few times, slash a few more times, try a few more different means, and naturally get more information and make more preparations for the next time.
Your ability to reset time may have been exposed, or it may still be hidden.
But the compound eye person would never have imagined that such an attempt to capture him alive would be a huge flaw in the sale.
Of course, he had to try to avoid being captured alive.
Otherwise, if he is frozen and always remains in a state of checkmate death, it will be all over.
The risk still exists, but the truth of seeking wealth and danger has existed since ancient times, and Chen Feng still understands it.
He still had to find a better way to minimize the risk.
Due to maintaining the speed of light for a long time, the arc of the Colossus had to be widened when it changed direction, and a faint spatial shock ripple was stirred up in the place it passed, meandering like an earthworm on the outside of the encirclement of the prismatic ship.
The prismatic battleship did not release beam cannons or white plasma to sweep him away, but continued to send the Blade Mantis to pursue him, and almost all of the prismatic battleships began to spread long whiskers in an attempt to increase the blockade of the space freeze.
The left foot of the Colossus was briefly swept in.
At that time, Chen Feng was ready to give up his left foot, but he didn't expect that after only a little attempt to pull out his left foot, he would successfully get out of trouble like walking out of the swamp quagmire.
The Colossus of Starblade, which has undergone a comprehensive transformation, already has some of the material characteristics of enemy aircraft, and has an isolated space of curvature bubbles, so it is not so easy to freeze.
Compound Eyes units such as the Blade Mantis can move freely in the frozen space, and the Starblade Colossus can't do that, but it's much better than other units.
Chen Feng began to act more confidently and boldly, sometimes using the long-barreled cannon on his back to sweep with a round of concentrated fire, and then using the blade in his hand to make up for two knives, but he could also kill one or two blade mantis from time to time.
He himself can be hit, his armor sliced, or his vortex particles hit on the Colossus and cause an explosion, but it's not a big problem.
The Colossus is not small, and its armor is extremely self-healing.
There was only one thing that always bothered him, and he couldn't get near the prism at all.
The first is that almost all of the prismatic ships are covered with long whiskers, and the second is that behind the long whiskers there is a layer of extremely strong and unclear shaped shields.
This shield can withstand the impact of Barnard's fleet's Austenite guns, as well as Chen Feng's slashing and bombardment.
He successfully slashed it twice, but he couldn't even shake the slightest ripple, and only slightly cracked the autonomous oscillation law of this concentrated energy shield.
Chen Feng's seemingly meaningless struggle can go on for a long, long time.
Before I knew it, another thirty minutes had passed.
The interior of the solar system has fallen silent.
The prismatic fleet is still advancing, but the warships, space stations, engineering ships, medical ships, and other human structures inside have long been broken or mutilated.
Countless blade mantis still come and go, occasionally stabbing or firing a shot at the survivor in the Dragon's arm.
The outside of the Prism Battle Formation wasn't much better.
Chen Feng passed by the front of the Proxima Centauri fleet more than once.
What he saw was still a large army of bladed mantis flying and sweeping like locusts, and the wreckage of two-wheeled warships floating in the sky.
The entire solar system is still being pressed into the grid by the grid link.
The grid arrives at Pluto.
Pluto is swept up in it, then "melts" and dissolves like an ice hockey ball placed on a red-hot iron plate.
In the past many battles, Chen Feng has never experienced this kind of feeling of watching everything slowly destroyed.
He also began to feel more pressure.
More and more longbeards continued to suppress him, and more and more blade mantis began to cross the space to block his path.
Chen Feng didn't think about escaping.
Anyway, his top speed is only 1.5 times the speed of light, and he can only follow the path of the gravitational line of the compound eyer, and the prismatic battleship can completely erase the solar system slowly, and then the old god is chasing after him.
There is no escape.
"Alas......"
Chen Feng sighed.
It's time to blow yourself up.
Otherwise, they will be captured alive.
Just as he was about to approach the prismatic ship and activate the self-detonation button, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw another button above the virtual self-detonation button, which was also marked as a red warning.
The six words "Transformation of the Demon War" are impressive.
Chen Feng began to calculate, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
He didn't think about undergoing modification before, not because he was afraid that he would die of genetic collapse in three days, but because he was afraid of losing the negative effect of thinking ability, and that this side effect would be brought back to the 21st century.
But now Lin Datou has taken the first step to become a guinea pig.
Although he was not sure of the principle, Chen Feng thought that since Lin Bu and Na Weilun and others could stay awake, they should be able to do it too.
As for the risk of dying from genetic collapse after going back, he actually thought about it, but it was not a big problem.
A long time ago, he tried to die in a state of overdose of serum, and there was no problem.
When traveling through time, your body will undergo a complete remodeling, and the result of this remodeling must be in line with the needs of the human body, and only the positive effect will be retained.
In short, the risks are not without risk, but after seeing the complete fleet of the Compound Eye, Chen Feng believes that if the weak want to counterattack, they always have to pay the price and take some risks, and there are always people in the civilization of the weak who have to embark on the road of no turning back.
Today, Chen Feng's understanding of technology is no longer the same as in the past.
The more he became aware of the strength of the compound eye, the more he realized the gap.
He knew better that the hardest thing in the world was to go one step further.
Assuming that after returning this time, he can perfectly execute the civilization plan, so that humanity can catch up with the current technology in 2500 years, and sprinkle the colonies all over the Orion arm at the beginning of the 31st century, it is actually of little use.
That's still just a quantitative change, not a qualitative change.
And with the higher the level of science and technology, the more difficult it is to achieve qualitative changes, even if he wins back five hundred years for mankind, so that the level of science and technology in the thirty-first century in the next timeline can reach the achievements of the thirty-sixth century in this timeline, it will still fail, but it can struggle for a few more years, and the peril will be a little slower.
It's not enough, it's useless.
But this is actually the limit of what he can imagine.
He really didn't know what else could be done to get humanity out of this predicament.
A thousand years is too short to cover the Orion Arm, let alone covet the rest of the galaxy.
The knowledge that human beings can absorb is at its limit, and it is only within Orion's arm, how can it compete with the compound eye civilization killed from the Virgo Galaxy?
They have ruled the galaxy for millions of years!
If you can't solve the shield of the prismatic battleship, can't solve the blockade of the solar system barrier, and can't escape beyond the galaxy, the bigger the human civilization, the more people will die.
After all the previous technicians failed to find a breakthrough in the outbreak of new technology, Chen Feng understood that even if there were countless timelines accumulated, it would be impossible to defeat the invincible fleet of the Compound Eye.
Do I really want to continue to do this step-by-step quest for stability, and then look at that wall of desperate sighs and sigh all the time and sigh at my own powerlessness?
As the higher the level of science and technology of human beings, in fact, he can perceive the limits of thousands of years more and more clearly.
Even if the implementation of the 500-year plan for civilization is successful, come again next time, and come again next time......
There will always be a day when we will reach a predicament where we cannot move forward even a small step.
In this dilemma, it will still not be the opponent of the compound eye.
It's a feeling in his own heart, which he can't tell anyone, from the ...... Gut feeling.
So, it's time to do it!
We must do everything we can, start with ourselves, no longer be afraid of risks, and push everything forward to the extreme.
Chen Feng decided to take a big gamble on the fate of mankind and himself.
Either Caesar or nothing.
His brainwave command clicked "Colonization Demon War Transformation".
The boiling transformation liquid poured out of the inner structure of the Galactic Warframe, quickly overflowing the feet, then to the waist, and reaching the top of the head.
Wisps of indescribable pain began to spread all over his skin until they engulfed his entire body.
Chen Feng couldn't slack off, he still had to endure the pain and control the Xingfeng Colossus to move and shuttle and fight back.
I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, in the process of transforming into a demon war, his consciousness remained highly awake, and his brain could still send commands to the colossus at an ultra-high frequency.
It may have been just a moment, or it may have been a long time, and the sharp pain in his body gradually stopped.
Chen Feng gathered some of his attention to the internal inspection function of the battle armor.
Hey.
He was still a little curious about what form his Colonization Demon Battle would take before, but now that he saw it, he was extremely surprised.
It hasn't changed at all!
What it was before, and what it is now.
The armor has its own medical function to give a genetic analysis report, and his life is a little harder than that of others.
Although he also has to face genetic collapse, he has the self-healing ability of the recovery factor, and his own higher arousal makes his genes more stable than others.
Others can only live for an average of three days after turning into a preserver, but he can live for ten days.
That's enough.
While trying to fight back, he continued to flip through the medical report.
The viscosity of his blood increased again, becoming like a non-Newtonian fluid.
The reason for the viscosity is naturally that his blood is filled with more "red blood cells", "white blood cells", "platelets" and other "nutrients" that are not his own.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the human body to withstand this level of viscosity of blood.
But at this time, Chen Feng's blood vessels became tougher and his heartbeat was more powerful, and even such viscous blood could still be quickly delivered to all parts of his body to provide energy.
The massive starblade colossus twisted a slight arc, wiping over the long whiskers that swept over him as he approached.
The twin blades swirled and slashed out, slashing at the four blade mantis that came in two straight lines.
It's chilling.
The four blade mantis shattered into countless pieces in an instant.
Chen Feng picked up his speed again, returning to the speed of light, avoiding the black hole bomb that swept behind him and was about to engulf his lower body.
After being a little more relaxed, Chen Feng took a general look at the data.
The accuracy of his brainwave instructions is still 100%, but the release speed is three times that of before.
He could have been directly connected to the Colossus of Xingfeng, but after the brain's ability to issue instructions improved, the Colossus of Xingfeng really became a part of his body.
He could even feel the power of the bulb engine boiling out every time he made a move.
Under the blessing of the soul, the forty-eight long whips behind him spread out for dozens of kilometers, swinging violently behind his back, and at the same time spraying out a large amount of physical toxins, engulfing the three blade mantis behind him.
Chen Feng's pressure has become less.
He began to have a chance to slowly approach the prism.
After about ten minutes, he found an opportunity, the huge blade suddenly stretched to forty kilometers, the tip of the knife wiped the shock of the shield of the prism, broke in its inner layer, and flew forward again, hitting the surface of the prism.
The enemy ship did not move at all, only oscillating some energy fluctuations in the air.
Chen Feng's expression was neither sad nor joyful.
This was already expected by him.
He swooped off into the distance again, swooping down on another battleship.
Before I knew it, more than half a day had passed.
The prismatic shrinkage ring continues to press in, and it is about to arrive at the Dyson membrane.
By this time, Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus had long since been cracked into elementary particles, turning into huge boiling flames.
The next one to be cleaved will be the Dyson membrane.
Chen Feng still tirelessly rushed left and right like a madman, going down and slashing from time to time.
By this time, humanity had lost all of its quantum communication capabilities.
In the vicinity of the prismatic battle array, there is no longer a single human combat unit.
Only the massive colossus he controls is running around, doing seemingly futile things.
He now has no assistance from the stars, only the most basic personal brain, no one can help him analyze the data, he can only rely on his shallow knowledge, little by little difficult to remember the radiation shock parameters when he luckily cut the surface of the enemy ship and the concentrated shield.
He couldn't read it, so he had to memorize it by rote.
Suddenly, thirty seconds before the Dyson membrane was about to be dissolved, the largest object ever made by humanity trembled slightly.
