After setting up the automatic cruise mode, Chen Feng went back to the bedroom.

After being busy and tired for almost a whole year, he can be regarded as able to sleep a little peacefully.

On Earth, due to the threat of alienated animals and the harassment of various insects, he has not slept very well for most of the past year.

It only improved slightly after having Xingfeng 1 and 2, but his heart was still not stable enough.

The psychological confusion also affected the quality of his sleep.

His confusion is so blunt in his diary that it doesn't get a little better until he finds Sergei's secret base and sets sail without a hitch.

After Chen Feng fell asleep, Frydes did not sleep, but still sat in his bedroom like a statue.

He was forced to change to a new environment, and he was very uncomfortable.

Of course, Fleders' performance of adaptation or not seems to make no difference, the left and right sides are stone sculptures, like a robot without electricity more than like a human.

But now he has changed a little bit from before.

In the past, Frydes didn't seem to be interested in anything, but now he gets up every day and sits naturally by the window and looks out.

After the spaceship enters the curvature movement, people can't actually see the starry sky outside.

The perfect curvature bubble formed by twisting and compressing space cuts the connection between the inner space and the outer space, and only pure quantum entangled fluctuations that have no mass at all can pass through.

The essence of the curvature bubble is to compress the absolute vacuum to an infinite density, which is still an absolute space, and the mass is both 0 and infinite.

The starlight in the distance falls on the curvature bubble and cannot be penetrated.

All Frydes could see was pitch black.

Leaving the underground base, his relative activity space has become larger, but the absolute activity space has become smaller again.

No matter how sluggish he is, the sudden changes in his living environment will still have some impact.

He now likes to look out the window, at least it shows that he realizes that the window is "outside the world".

When he was growing up, he was actually instilled with a lot of knowledge.

His brain structure is different from that of ordinary people, and the language center is almost not active, resulting in a great lack of language and communication.

So far, he has only two sentences, "follow me" and "Frydes".

Maybe he didn't know the meaning of these two sentences, but he could just use his vocal cords to make the sound of these two sentences.

A person who is unable to master language is unable to establish a complete logic of thinking in the brain, and the ability to grasp theoretical knowledge is almost zero.

Just like people who are deaf, dumb and blind, they usually behave sluggishly, but in fact, their IQ is not low, but life is like this, and there is nothing to be done.

It's so hard for them to master a language.

When he was in the underground base, Frydes was mostly busy with his own business, only acting regularly with the assistance of artificial intelligence and following the cultivation plan left by the primordial Ergai.

After getting up every morning, he will go to the operation workshop in the morning to carry out some training on the use and assembly of equipment step by step.

He couldn't read or remember the instructions, so he could only memorize the operation steps and processes.

After more than ten years, he can also operate most of the equipment proficiently.

This is all to prepare for going up to the ground before dying.

His afternoon task was originally to read and study, but due to the defect of his language center, the artificial intelligence deleted the content of this part of the training plan and turned it into free time.

So he obviously has an infinite amount of time, but he never reads, only in a daze, and he doesn't know what is going on in his head.

The same is true at this time.

Chen Feng didn't prepare equipment for him to practice in the spaceship, which caused him to be completely idle, even more idle.

Eight hours later, Chen Feng woke up, and Frydes was still standing at the window, but his eyes were closed, and he was probably asleep.

"Sir, I've done the calculations."

As soon as Chen Feng sat down in the command room and searched the channel, he received a voice prompt from Wei Xing.

He looked down at his watch, and exactly 27 hours, 33 minutes and 56 seconds had passed.

Accurate.

His mind grew nervous.

As the saying goes, it's timid.

In this era, Chen Feng's hometown is not on the earth, or even in the solar system.

His "vernacular" is different and built on people.

He has to see familiar people in order to have the taste of the country.

It's been almost a year since he came here, and Chen Feng hasn't really communicated with anyone except Frydes, who can't speak, and he's not sure how far the humans in Orion's arm have developed.

He couldn't be sure if the people he wanted to see were still there.

He thought that he would never be able to contact others, and even worried that he would be trapped on Earth, so through self-anesthesia, he really assumed that everyone was gone, and then thought about everything.

If you don't hope, you won't be disappointed, this is his unique skill to maintain his mentality.

The advantage of this habit is that it will always maintain its fighting spirit and will not be easily hit.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to make mistakes, for example, he has considered suicide more than once and reopened next time.

At that time, he convinced himself that suicide would effectively prevent him from being captured alive by the compound eye.

And for good reason.

He had been holding on to it before, just trying to find the core reason for this failure.

Now that I've read the history, I've vaguely found it, and I can make some new attempts to find different possibilities.

He could have killed himself,

But that's a little too irresponsible.

I don't know what about the people outside, so I easily give up the whole world, which is too unfair to the other humans in this timeline.

So in his hesitation, he was numb but determined to rebuild Wei Xing, and saw the possibility of resuming communication.

Once communication is restored, the fog that has shrouded the human civilization in Orion's arm due to information isolation will be lifted, and he will be able to quickly determine whether Tang Tianxin, Ding Hu, Lin Bu, Ou Qinglan, Dong Shan, and others still exist.

He was looking forward to it, and he was worried.

It feels like when he spends a lot of money on a lot of scratch tickets, scratches a lot and finds nothing, pinning his last hope on the last ticket to be scratched.

He was timid, that is, after scratching the last lottery ticket, he still saw "Thank you for your patronage".

Then it's all cold.

If he really didn't have any acquaintances, Chen Feng would have returned to the state of being a complete stranger in the first timeline to everyone in this era, and he couldn't find an emotional anchor at all, and he didn't know how that would affect his decision.

"Weixing, first establish a signal blocking firewall to prevent your own information from leaking, and then start to establish a resonance FM channel, trying to passively receive resonance information in one direction."

After thinking about it for a long time, and even using two glasses of liquor to strengthen his courage, Chen Feng gave an order.

Wei Xing replied, "Okay. ”

"The firewall is under construction...... Construction completed. ”

"According to the Bose quantum coding 154784:546877:65...... In the frequency creation resonance channel, the channel is established successfully. ”

"Retrieving ...... in External Information"

"Frequency Trimming Synchronization ......"

"A signal has been found. Sir, are you trying to read the data? ”

Chen Feng stood up violently.

But he did not rush to give orders, but asked: "Can your information be absolutely independent and not detected by the other party?" ”

Wei Xing: "Since I have perfect resonance with the other party's quantum intelligence, as long as I don't give instructions to the outside world and take the initiative to retrieve information, I can receive the other party's information in one direction without being noticed." I can receive all of the other person's information, including the top secret channel. ”

Chen Feng nodded.

He understood what Wei Xing meant.

To put it in a simple way, the stars are about the same as two tuning forks that are far away.

The human brain, the star, is the larger tuning fork, and the Vivi star is the smaller one.

Tap the big tuning fork to emit sound waves.

The sound waves travel far away.

The small tuning fork comes into contact with the sound waves and vibrates.

Originally, when the small tuning fork vibrates, it should also emit sound waves externally, but due to its small size, the energy level of the sound waves released by passive resonance is too low.

The small sound waves are constantly diluted and counteracted in the air, and they cannot be transmitted back to the tuning fork at all, interfering with the state of the tuning fork.

At this time, the relationship between the stars and the stars is basically the same as that between the small tuning fork and the large tuning fork.

It is assumed that the tuning fork is an intelligent being with its own consciousness.

The big tuning fork had no idea that the sound waves it was releasing to the outside world were being synchronized by another small tuning fork.

Wei Xing just opened a small quantum landmark at the right frequency, and all information came from the resonance of this quantum logo.

Weixing did not actively infuse energy to transmit information to the outside world.

It's just that this small resonance is insignificant in the ocean of information, and the distance of less than one hundredth of a light year will inevitably be shattered by the huge quantum information flow in the external environment.

This state is exactly what Chen Feng needs.

He wasn't going to take the initiative to tell anyone that he was here and that he had just left the solar system.

The advantage of this line of thinking is that it is absolutely safe, and his whereabouts are not easily detected by the compound eye civilization.

The downside is that he can't actively retrieve the huge amount of information from the Orion Arm humans, and can only pull things down from the communication data streams passed between them, like a person standing on the side of the railroad tracks taking pictures of a train.

He can take a clear picture of every "train" that passes by, but he can't go to the station and photograph all the locomotives.

Of course, every locomotive has to be on the road, and as long as he takes pictures long enough, sooner or later he will be able to photograph all the locomotives and get enough information.

After confirming that there was no problem, Chen Feng ordered: "Start reading and presenting the information flow situation." ”

As the words fell, the star map in front of him continued to shrink with the solar system as the central point, and the scale continued to enlarge.

South Gate II, Barnard's Star, Wolff's 359 Star, Laland's 21185 Star, UV Cetus Star, Sirius Binary and other planetary systems near the solar system have been included in the stereoscopic star map projection world one after another.

Over time, the star map became a sphere with a diameter of 5,000 light years.

There are hundreds of millions of bright stars in this sphere.

Hundreds of millions of stars form a long strip that stretches across the ends of the sphere.

This is a section of the Orion Arm.

In the past few minutes, an intricate thread of hundreds of millions of stars has begun to run from one planetary system to another.

Over time, there are more and more threads.

The more threads that are connected within the same galaxy, the brighter the system will gradually increase in the star map.

In addition, there are faint threads that extend beyond the horizon border and spread into the star map from elsewhere.

At the top of the star chart, there is a column of statistics that are rapidly being refined.

"Number of planetary systems with human information activity: 79...... 87…… 135…… 796…… 3154…… 7218…… 11512…… 13577……”

This is the number of stars with human activity that Vivi calculates based on the continuous flow of information collected during this time.

At first, the numbers rose rapidly, indicating that human beings have maintained a very high frequency of information exchange with each other.

Later, the rate of increase slowed down slightly, probably because the colonies in these systems had just been built, and the population density was not large enough, and the first message was only transmitted in these few minutes.

Wei Xing quickly gave an estimate, "The total number of planetary systems with human activity in the Orion Arm should be around 14,400." The flow of quantum information outside the horizon should come from an outgoing scientific exploration spacecraft. ”

Chen Feng nodded heavily, "Hmm." Continue to analyze the current level of human technology, administrative system and geographical division, and so on, and then you focus on these names, and their faces are like this...... Three hours later, report back to me. ”

After giving the order again, Chen Feng got up and walked out of the command room and returned to the bar in the rear living area.

He poured himself a cup of two pots and drank it in one gulp.

He clenched his fist, very hard.

Humanity occupies 14,400 stars within Orion's arm, with a vast territory of 5,000 light-years.

He couldn't have imagined such a scene before.

He never dreamed of it.

He couldn't describe how he felt when he watched the star map light up one planetary system after another, and the silk threads representing the flow of information were linked together to form the vast net that represented the boundaries of the human empire.

Surging?

Yes.

Lament?

Yes.

Out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss?

Both.

Perhaps only the seven words "remove the dark clouds and see the bright moon" can slightly accurately express his state of mind.

Although he had seen descriptions in history books about the successful establishment of thousands of colonies by mankind, it was 500 years ago, and no one knew what happened in those 500 years.

He had imagined that the human realm would be vast this time, but he was always apprehensive when he didn't see it with his own eyes.

He was long past the age when he was prone to sweet dreams.

After nearly a year of lonely struggles on Earth, now, he finally tore through the fog with his own hands and saw the truth of his dreams.

His heart was beating fast and hard.

Chen Feng drank the wine in his glass again, and recalled the star map and the big net representing the exchange of information between human beings in his mind.

He muttered to himself.

"I knew that humans can, they really can! Just give us time and we can do anything! ”

Boom!

He punched the alloy bar again.

He had experienced the frustration of creating the end of the world with his own hands, and now he suddenly had another unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

These two conflicting emotions intersected on him alone, causing him to lose control of his emotions for a short time.

Maybe it's because you've drunk too much, or maybe it's because you're feeling too strong.

In a dim way, he saw the disgusting fly face of the compound eyer, floating in front of the bar, looking at him with a mixture of hatred, fear, and jealousy.

Syllable!

Chen Feng threw the bottle out and slammed it against the wall.

"This is the empire I built with my own hands with nine timelines! And that's just the beginning! I don't care if you're a compound eye or whoever you are, give me death! ”

"Human! Never stop moving forward! I said it! ”

Knowing that it was an illusion, he wanted to shatter it.

Chen Feng opened the second bottle of Erguotou.

The third bottle......

Fourth Bottle......

He didn't know how many bottles he had drunk in a row, and even with his current physique that far exceeded 40% of his genetic arousal, he couldn't resist it, and even the authentic monkey kui he fried himself couldn't cure the hangover.

It could also be that he didn't want to stay awake on his own initiative.

The pressure on him was too great, and he didn't suddenly relax until this moment.

He chose to get drunk.
