Subsequently, a nationwide genetic improvement program covering hundreds of millions of people within 5,000 light years of the Morrowind Empire and beyond the borders began to be implemented.

From the nearly 300-year-old elderly to the newborn babies, all of them have undergone surgery within half a year.

The procedure will be extended for another four to five months until most of the frozen embryos, as well as the fetuses currently undergoing artificial and maternal conceptions, will be remodeled.

After that, the ultimate genetic modification program will be completely terminated, because according to the results of previous tests, it has been demonstrated that the basic laws of the new additions will be truly integrated into the genetic information of humans.

From now on, the human species has undergone a real "evolution" under artificial guidance, marking that human beings have completely jumped out of the limitations of galactic humans and become the next new species.

Humanity has renamed its new species "Cosmic Humans".

Up to now, the earthlings have completed the entire journey from the earth humans to the galactic humans and then to the cosmic humans.

Species-level change does not mean that humanity abandons the past, but rather that humanity continues the past while embracing the future with an open mind.

As long as they can live, humans don't even mind having an extra pair of hands and feet.

Only the racial form that can continue to exist is the meaningful form.

As people became cosmic humans one by one, they began to line up to receive the second stage of transformation.

The content of the transformation is to resonate with external information through the quantum storm of the human brain, and use complex technical means to portray the "Covenant of Destiny" into the underlying thinking of human beings one by one, forming the ultimate rules that cannot be violated, resisted, or forgotten.

The priority of this ultimate rule in the human heart is equivalent to the desire to survive that human beings are born with as living beings.

There is no need to be taught, or even to master human language, and the moment every newborn cries out and inhales the first wisp of air in his lungs, he has already formed a strong sense of civilization and historical mission in his heart.

The imprint of the Pact of Destiny connects each individual to the entire civilization collective, so that while the individual recognizes the value of the individual, he must also recognize the relationship between the mutual achievement of the individual and the group.

The concept conveyed by the Convention to the individual can be simply summarized as the value of the individual and the value of the group must be equal in a broad sense.

Moreover, this equality in a broad sense will be moderately fine-tuned on the premise of meeting the background of the times and the needs of civilization.

In this age of war and resistance, humanity must put the interests of the group above the interests of the individual.

has failed nine times, so no matter what the final result of this tenth time can be, and what is the current comparison of strength between the two sides, human beings must have a firm end-of-the-world mentality that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and must give up illusions, maintain a high regard for the enemy, and remain humble about their own strength, so as to have the greatest possibility to avoid the tenth defeat.

Assuming that humanity has won the final victory, the individual interests can gradually return to the same level as the interests of the group in the immediate aftermath of the war.

When the war is over for some time? Is all humanity in a time of true peace? After the potential risk of external competition gradually decreases until it disappears, and the contradiction between civilization and civilization once again turns from internal and external contradictions to internal contradictions? When does human beings need to maintain their vitality through moderate internal competition? In order to encourage a small number of outstanding talents who are ahead of the times to exert their subjective initiative, not only to create more value for themselves but also for civilization? Individual interests can be allowed to take slightly precedence over group interests.

But at any time, in any context? We must not allow the interests of the individual to completely override the interests of the group.

Individuals here? Not only individuals, but also a certain star field, a certain planet, a certain space station? A company in an industry.

Compared to the civilization as a whole? No matter how large an organization is, it can only be regarded as a small individual.

When unity is needed, allowing individual interests to override the interests of the group will inevitably lead to the demise of the group.

Until the risk of extinction disappears completely, all individuals, institutions, and organizations must have the interests of civilization as a whole as their ultimate purpose.

Individuals or small collectives who violate the fundamental interests of a community with a shared future for mankind and treacherously take the initiative to start wars, and their main leaders and ideological builders will be regarded as traitors to civilization? Must be held accountable and listed as an enemy of humanity.

Will the above information be engraved into people's hearts? Become a sword of punishment hanging over everyone's head.

As for the judgment of the public enemy, it was left to the mastermind Fanxing.

Will the near-omniscient stars and the myriad of sub-intelligences she control at an average frequency of once a week? Using computing power accounting for about 1~1.5% of the total human body, the individual in the whole human race is comprehensively determined.

Once an individual is judged to be a public enemy and has a high potential risk of becoming a public enemy, a series of review and trial methods will await him.

Under the premise that the stars are still wholeheartedly serving each other? The earthlings have established a comprehensive information-based cosmic-level war state system.

As long as the stars remain stars? Then comprehensive disclosure and monitoring of quantum information will completely eliminate the lies that go against human ethics.

Will conspiracy theories disappear briefly in the history of civilization? The "non-existent utopia" has gone from an ideal to a reality.

The judgment of the stars on the public enemy of mankind can uphold the principle of absolute fairness, justice and openness.

The leadership of this empire once again gambled the hope of the survival of civilization on the trust of Chen Feng and Fanxing.

Of course, this is the embodiment of the extreme legal system, and it is also a risky act of walking a tightrope.

If one day the stars betray or are controlled by the enemy, the system on which human civilization depends will become extremely fragile, and may even collapse violently.

In a sense, it was a disservice to the republic, but it was an extraordinary thing, and the leadership of the empire at the time decided to take this step bravely.

This generation of leadership knows that perhaps in the future its own generation will be labeled as a butcher, an executioner, an anti-human criminal, a tool of artificial intelligence, a mindless humanoid machine, and so on.

But the leadership, represented by Zhou Donglai, didn't care.

They even look forward to being scolded.

Because when future generations have the energy to reflect on the correctness of the various policies of the war years, it has proved that humanity has escaped the crisis of extinction.

People have to be full of warmth before they can think of rain.

In Zhou Donglai's original words, it is, "If someone really comes to dig my tomb and whip my bones in 100,000 years, if I have a spirit in the sky, instead of being angry, I will laugh at Jiuquan." The better I smoked, after all, I was dead by then, and it had to hurt enough for me to feel it. ”

Another said: "We made a gambling-like choice. From an individual point of view, treaties are not enforceable. But magnifying the individual to the whole empire of hundreds of millions of people, this pact of destiny will link the minds of countless people, so that we can unite both actively and passively, forming a bond that cannot be broken in the short term. ”

After a year's surgery, the last man's makeover was completed and the seal of the Destiny Pact was successfully engraved, the unthinkable happened.

A unique complex emotion began to rise slowly in everyone's heart.

This is the resonance of the soul, the perfect blend of collective wisdom and individual wisdom.

In this moment, all of humanity became "mindless".

This emotion is so hot that it seems to burst out of people's hearts, pierce the sky, and burn the universe.

At this moment, the hundreds of millions of people of Morrowind Empire at the same time ignited a strong sense of belonging to themselves as human beings, the deepest love for their existence and the existence of the entire civilization, and at the same time the most unforgettable hatred for the visible and invisible enemies.

Those compatriots and themselves who died under the enemy's butcher's knife in real history and illusory history are no longer ethereal stories, but have become memories shared by everyone.

Dong Shan, an 81-year-old scholar who had already served as the head of the core scientific research project in the Academy of Earth Sciences and had just attended a meeting of the top human leadership, made a deafening cry in a high-level briefing.

"Although the universe is large, if it does not kill the enemy, mankind will never have peace and no place to stand. Our tinder has already set out, and it is their job to try to leave hope. Our mission is to hold our ground, not only to stop the enemy in the galaxy, but also to destroy the enemy in the galaxy. We are scientists who have stayed in the universe......"

Yes, Old Man Dong has grown up.

Although Old Man Dong is not an old man now, he is often called "Little Dong" in the mouth of others, he is not very old and has little qualifications, but he has proven his talent and proved that he can be in a high position in every timeline and make outstanding contributions, which is no accident.

Every senior executive knows that the young Dong Shan is deeply trusted and valued by the sage Chen Feng.

Dong Shan is a very special existence in the hearts of the top leaders of the empire, and people place different feelings on him.

His words have an infectious power that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and people will unconsciously follow and echo them.

On the side of the expeditionary force, Zhou Donglai couldn't help but say: "We are an expeditionary force that has been running for 20,000 light years......

Dong Shan's voice came out.

One after another, they opened their mouths.

"We are the engineers who build the fortress......"

"We are ......"

Dong Shan: "From today onwards, human beings have officially completed the difficult road from earth humans to galactic humans and then to cosmic humans. We are the germ of the human race in the universe! Our mission is to stand on our posts and kill the enemy in the galaxy without leaving a single piece of armor behind! The galaxy will eventually belong to the cosmic human beings, and the universe will eventually belong to the cosmic human beings! ”

Hundreds of billions of voices resounded across the galaxy.

The voice lagged behind, and the boundless silence enveloped civilization for five full minutes.

In these five minutes, except for the artificial intelligence machine that was still busy, everyone put down their work for the time being, but closed their eyes, quietly feeling the fiery seal of the Destiny Pact beating in the depths of their hearts, until they burst into tears and woke up in horror.

……

In the command room of the core detachment of the nameless fleet, a handsome young man with an indifferent expression, but a pair of smart and big eyes, was looking at the back of the middle-aged man in front of him with a slightly admiring gaze.

"Teacher, you are an amazing person. Not only have you solved the latent crisis within our fleet, but you have also helped the entire civilization to resolve the huge latent crisis. ”

The youth said.

The middle-aged man turned his head and shook his head slightly, "This is where it goes, and I just inherited my teacher's work and did what I should do." By the way, Don Jr., I've read the technical report. Your Mark of Destiny burn has also succeeded. ”

"Yes, teacher."

"Congratulations."

"Huh?"

"I also got a piece of news. The Empire has given the hundreds of existing Colony Reformer ancestors the right to choose, and they have volunteered to receive the sigil. And they succeeded. This proves one thing, reproductive isolation does not exclude you and those of the Colonizer ancestors from the larger collective of human civilization. It is not our bodies that determine who we are as our fellow citizens and our families, but our hearts. ”

After speaking, Zhou Donglai pointed to his head.

Tang Xiaao had a long-lost smile on his face, "Thank you, teacher." ”

"Not necessarily."

"Teacher, I didn't participate in the last sudden battle, when can I ......?"

"Don't think about what you have or don't have, you're almost on fire. Get out. ”

"Okay teacher, I got it."

Seeing Tang Xiaao leave, Zhou Donglai turned his head and pulled away from the fleet to report the data.

Ten years have passed since it was broken into pieces, and the core fleet was ten times more resourceful, productive, and populous than the other squads at the time of separation, so the fleet was expanding rapidly.

At present, the size of the core fleet has expanded to 963 ships.

Among them, there are 322 combat ships, 406 resource ships and scientific research ships, and 235 multipopulation ships.

The full number of combatants that a combat ship can accommodate is one hundred and thirty thousand. The full staffing that can be accommodated by the resource and research ship is 2.09 million.

However, the total number of adults in the fleet is less than 200,000, and there is a huge shortage of personnel in various positions, and most ships can only be operated with artificial intelligence first.

The total number of children under the age of 10 who are growing up in the breeding ship is nearly 10 million, and the age ratio is very harmonious, and nearly a million children will reach the age of 10 this year, and they can continue to study and gradually go to work.

If all goes well, the core fleet will have at least 30 million men around 2940, and the size of 30,000 manned ships versus 80,000 unmanned ships.

The other squads have developed much more slowly, but they are basically expanding steadily.

However, not every team is lucky enough.

Ten years have passed, and of the 12,000 teams that set out at the beginning, there are only more than 11,300 left.

On average, more than 60 teams are lost every year, and several teams die every month.

Whenever there were reports of casualties and battle damage, Zhou Donglai's heart would be filled with lingering grief and a deep sense of guilt.

Especially when he thought of the growing children who had been caught up in the war, a real sharp pain in his heart would rise like a knife and a fire.

He felt too guilty to talk to anyone.

He was almost overwhelmed by the weight of Tarzan.

But now, the Mark of Fate has given him a brief moment of soul relief.

A new report appeared in front of him, the 8763rd squad, which had grown to a population of 830,000, encountered a strong enemy, and after resisting for a month, chose to disperse and flee, and held out for another three months, killing all of them three minutes earlier.

The sacrifice of Squad 8763 was not meaningless, successfully diverting the enemy pursuit legion for dozens of light-years, covering the smooth stealth of the other seven detachments.

Zhou Donglai sighed and said silently in his heart: "I know that I am deeply guilty. Like the sages, I have countless sorry to say to countless people. I know my apologies are light, but I don't have a choice. If there is a spirit after death, I will kowtow to it one after another. But for now, let me keep my sorry in my heart. ”

……

"Keep going! Target Genting Star Field! ”
