October 26, 2020, 6 p.m. Beijing time.

Chen Feng put his hands behind his back, looked through the transparent curtain wall, and quietly looked at the starry sky in front of him.

The position where his gaze was focused was the same position that he was all too familiar with every time the ball battleship appeared.

From here to there, there is a thin film that is invisible to the naked eye, but can block any energy, artillery fire, battleship, and life.

No one knows exactly what the thickness of the film is, but it can only be summed up by continuous experimentation, and the general conclusion is that the thickness is less than the diameter of the electron.

At this time, Chen Feng was standing in the flagship command cabin of the Cauldron Legion.

The size of the command flagship is no longer huge, only more than forty meters long, in the shape of an olive.

In space, the petite flagship is as small as a sesame mung bean compared to the massive snowflake ship.

The flagship's exterior looks more harmless to humans and animals, and it is true that it is hardly loaded with any high-powered weapons, but the power system and shield system are the culmination of the highest technology.

The flagship has a small staffing staff, only a few dozen members of the command sequence.

As for the technical analysis team and the logistics team, they are scattered among other functional ships.

All ships rely on the synchronized information system of the Star Architecture to maintain close contact.

With the support of a high-speed and stable ultra-quantum network, the command center no longer needs to be clustered together as in the past.

The advantage of such an adjustment is to protect the command center, avoid being beheaded, and it is not easy to be put in a pot.

After looking at it for a long time, Chen Feng said to the two newly appointed adjutants behind him: "Brother Hu, Ye Luming, I'll go to the flagship of the Tianxin Legion." ”

"Okay."

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Feng entered Tang Tianxin's command room, "Something?" ”

Tang Tianxin sat on the chair, his palm gently placed on his lower abdomen, and his face was full of joy.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, sat down next to him, and put his hand on it.

"That's good."

He sighed.

Tang Tianxin smiled, "It's so strange, I don't know what she's thinking, it's like this every time." ”

Chen Feng: "Ask her when she grows up." ”

"Hahahaha......"

Tang Tianxin was so happy.

After a long time, she calmed down again, "It's a little hard. ”

"yes."

The two held hands and looked at the starry sky together, each with their own thoughts.

Chen Feng stayed here for about half an hour before turning around and leaving.

The two of them didn't talk much about you and me.

The war plan was also not negotiable, and every senior commander took it to heart.

Of course, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and when the real fight starts, you still have to make a decision on the spot, relying on the usual training accumulated day by day.

On the way back to his flagship in a small shuttle, Chen Feng kept looking down at his hands.

I don't know if his perception has become more sensitive, or if his daughter's vitality has become more tenacious, when Chen Feng's hand is placed on the child's mother's lower abdomen, his fingers can feel a slight tremor.

He asked Tang Tianxin, but Tang Tianxin said that he didn't feel anything, and laughed at him if he was hallucinating, he had just been implanted, how could there be movement.

Chen Feng didn't refute her either.

Perhaps, it's really an illusion.

Anyway, he has experienced this kind of scene many times.

Every time, he gave him a little hope, a little excited anticipation, but in the end he was ruthlessly snuffed out.

Chen Feng felt a little numb.

He is like a toad in a well, looking up at the sky from time to time.

There are many of its kind around this toad, and everyone squats on the stone together, looking at the sky together, imagining how high the sky is and how the wind in the sky feels on the body.

One day, the toad mutated.

It has suckers growing on all four legs and can climb up the smooth walls of the well.

It climbed out of the well.

Then, it found itself still in the well.

It's a bigger well.

There was another group of toads beside him, and the hole below quietly disappeared.

The toads still looked up at the sky with him.

Nothing has changed except that the well has become larger.

The toad continued to climb up, and another deep well ......

Chen Feng felt that he was this toad.

It looks like a lot has changed, but some stubborn anchors are throughout.

Every time I come over, no matter how the times change, there are always similar people.

The location and time of appearance of compound eyes are also highly similar.

Traits of the Ball Battleship.

There is another very important point, which Chen Feng has not figured out until now.

When the intruder barrier arrived, it was clear that humans couldn't understand the technology of this thing, and they couldn't analyze any available information, but people just suddenly knew something for some reason.

The invaders will arrive sometime in October 3020.

Chen Feng has read the extremely detailed historical materials in the N timelines, and wants to find a more accurate basis, such as the calculation results of a certain scientist, or a certain Sergei's notes or something.

No, neither.

In the last few timelines, it is he himself who has left some hints that can serve as a warning to future generations.

But in the early timelines where he didn't succeed in leaving a message, people also knew about the outcome.

It's as if from the very beginning of the incident, many leaders have no idea about it in their heads.

Everything seemed natural, and no one felt out of place.

Chen Feng thought about it for a long time.

At first, he thought that the control and infiltration of "Song of the World" had exposed some information.

This is quite likely.

But now, as mankind has studied "Song of the World" more and more deeply, Chen Feng has found that this is not the case.

"Song of the World" does not convey any message to humans.

After all, the goal of the invaders is to destroy humanity, and the less exposed the better.

Chen Feng fell into a new distress.

The more he knows, the more questions he has.

In the end, he still didn't understand anything, so he simply slept beautifully.

October 27, 2020, at half past nine a.m. Beijing time.

The solar system appears peaceful and serene.

The edge of the solar system seems empty.

Chen Feng did not stay in his command flagship, but led a million Metroidians to quietly float to the front of the line, and was shrouded in the transmitted energy field spread out by the latent fortress ship.

In the space behind Chen Feng, as many as thousands of latent fortress ships completely spread out the energy field, and the army of 41 billion people of the entire human race put on a huge attack formation.

Elsewhere in the solar system, there are four other sleeper fortress ships doing the same, helping the Tinder and Sprout ships to hide their forms.

At the same time, dozens of stellar cannons aimed at the front had already warmed up at full power.

In order to mask the energy effects of the Stellar Cannon, at least hundreds of lurking fortress ships overlapped the transmitted energy fields on top of them.

The starry sky seemed to have turned into a cloud of dark energy.

9:49 a.m.

Chen Feng quietly communicated in the quantum network, "Ready." ”

Everyone in the Supreme Military Command Channel was in a state of disarray.

The unexpected happened.

The spherical battleship did not arrive on time at 9:50.

There was still peace outside the dome of the sun.

"This ......"

"What's going on?"

There was an uproar in the command channel.

Chen Feng took a deep breath and projected his image into it.

He shrugged helplessly, "Guys, we're too prepared. The spherical battleship saw our strength, so ...... The strategy has been adjusted. We're about to face different enemies. ”

There was a dead silence in the channel.

The commanders looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

The atmosphere was inexplicably desperate and indescribable.

Chen Feng took a deep breath, "But isn't this also what we expected?" Everybody. I used to be a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky...... I'm tired of boring repetitions. Seeing this, frankly, I'm not sad at all. We're finally ...... Qualified to face the true army of the Compound Eyes! ”

"That's a good thing! It shows that the progress we have made in this millennium is enough to be valued by them, enough to make them jealous! We are no longer a weak civilization that can be pinched and rounded casually! Imagine the despair of the military in the Cold Weapons era in the face of the main battle tanks of the 21st century. ”

"But now, we are no longer the ancients of the Cold Weapon Age, we have in our hands a bag of explosives that can overturn the valley! Then this main battle tank will no longer be able to run over our heads with great might! ”

"Compound Eyes...... I'm scared! I love this new situation, a new challenge. We're going to fight a new war! ”

As soon as Chen Feng's words fell, the stellar cannon that continued to charge over there could no longer suppress the energy.

It must be fired, otherwise the star cannon will explode first.

As the buzzing vibration rang out, dozens of huge mass energy impact beams burst forward.

The beam hits the solar system barrier halfway through.

The unexpected happened.

The solar system barrier has not been as silent as it has been in the past.

The artillery fire stirred up a little ripple.

Compared to the mass energy impact beam with a diameter of tens of kilometers, this ripple is extremely subtle, spreading out perhaps less than 1 nanometer, and exists for less than one ten-thousandth of a second.

But there is yes, and there is no.

There is an essential difference between the two.

The essence of the ripples is that the energy that pours in in a very small area in a short period of time is too strong, so that part of the energy is blocked and leaks and spreads.

For example, if a golf ball in high-speed motion collides head-on with an upright cutter that sharpens iron like clay, the golf ball will be silently cut in half.

Now the golf ball is made of better material and is stronger, and although it will still be cut, the surface of the ball will oscillate at the moment of collision.

This ripple indicates that the invincible solar system barrier, in order to dissipate the impact of the stellar cannon, must be partially shaken back, and it will take more time to dissipate the impact.

With the exception of particle bombs and black hole bombs, the Stellar Cannon is the most powerful means of attack ever prepared by humans.

Although many firing experiments had been done before, it was the first time in history that such a large-scale simultaneous fire and full force bombardment hit the same area.

Chen Feng laughed.

He pointed to the nano-scale ripples highlighted by the analytical instruments in the projection, and said loudly: "See, this is our progress." Although we have never set foot outside the solar system, we already have the strength of a third-level civilization that looks at the galaxy and is second only to the Compound Eyes civilization! ”

"The Compound Eye can see us through the dome of the sun, we already know it. I just want to see how much new they have. ”

"We have explored the nature of the universe in a finite solar system. This time we have the Stellar Cannon, and next time, we'll be able to put the sun into our space giant engine! ”

"We can give them a pot!"

Chen Feng didn't say much, just looked around the audience in silence.

The generals, who were still a little depressed just now, recovered a little bit of enthusiasm.

Frankly speaking, the quality of Chen Feng's speech was very average, but everyone just quickly and inexplicably got back their spirits.

Maybe that's what leadership means.

At 11:33 a.m., the alarm sounded.

The whole army, which was ready for battle, immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

Tang Tianxin's voice suddenly sounded in the command channel, "Prepare to meet the enemy." ”

She speaks extremely quickly, but not in a heavy tone.

The belated spherical battleship finally arrived.

Intelligence analysis starts immediately.

Chen Feng was extremely familiar with spherical warships, so he had little interest in those routine analysis reports.

He just stared at one number.

This time, the number of compound eyes in the ball battleship was reduced by two, only fifty-three.

Where did the other two go?

What are the functions of these two people in the spherical battleship?

Will the spherical battleship go on the offensive when it meets, as it has done in the past, or will it just hover outside as an observer?

If there is still a large army of compound eyes, where is this large army, and what is its size?

How much better is the performance of its ships than the Orbular ships?

Chen Feng was not surprised why human beings could not detect information from the universe in advance.

The reason is super simple.

The Compound Eyed fleet advances faster than the speed of light, so its fleet will attack faster than information.

Unless at some point in the future, human beings will thoroughly understand the power of unification and spread out the quantum entanglement intelligence network in a large enough area, which will represent a qualitative change in human intelligence technology and can obtain information faster than light.

But that will face new circumstances.

You can use quantum entanglement regardless of distance to probe information, and others can also use quantum shielding to mask information, so that you can only "see" a piece of chaos.

Cosmic warfare is fought by science and technology, and it is the degree to which civilization develops and utilizes the essence of the universe.

Just as Chen Feng was thinking about these questions, the voice of "Morning Wind" quietly sounded.

This time, players are spread all over the solar system.

And with the skyrocketing of human productivity, under the massive long-term energy supply of Dyson membrane, the reserve energy of the "Morrowind" player is extremely sufficient, and it can easily overwhelm the extreme of the spherical battleship in the previous timeline.

Under Chen Feng's instructions, in order to consume the energy of the compound eye equally, the power of "Morrowind" was not fully charged at the beginning, but firmly monitored the intensity of "Song of the World", and the power was simultaneously increased with a smooth curve.

Tang Tianxin's new order was issued again.

"The latent bastion ship operates steadily, increases the power, and covers the track. The Tinder Sprout Escape Fleet remains on standby and can warm up the engine. As soon as the Solar Dome is dispersed, the Escape Fleet sprints forward, approaching and using the Black Hole Bomb first as the Dome re-coalesces. ”

The heads of the four escape fleets responded synchronously and said they understood.

As soon as her brainwave order was delivered, the investigators at the front had already sent back a tip-off, "The dome of the sun has been dispersed!" ”
