Although all the Compound Eyes have been killed, the hustle and bustle on the battlefield has never stopped.

Engineering and hospital ships shuttle around cleaning the battlefield, rescuing the wounded, storing corpses, and repairing equipment.

There are also many professional soldiers who carefully drive fighter planes and small warships close to the wreckage of the ball ship, and use barrage cannons to neutralize and eliminate the physical toxins that continue to float out of the prismatic area.

The scene looks quiet and busy.

When the war is finally over, people have a lingering joy on their faces most of the time, but it is difficult to hide their sadness when they find the broken bodies of their comrades in the twisted metal.

A large medical ship was docked next to the commander-in-chief's ship, and in the medical room, Chen Feng and Tang Tianxin were lying side by side in two multi-functional treatment cabins.

Chen Feng's skin cracked all over his body, and the blood that rushed out dyed the nutrient solution in the treatment chamber pink.

He hadn't finished the treatment just now, and the pressure on his body from controlling the Starblade Colossus was extremely high, and he rushed head-on in front of the ball battleship, completing a series of extremely risky maneuvers.

The aftermath of the two impacts he received when he used the Neutron Giant Shield and Warframe to withstand the two impacts of the ball battleship alone was enough for him to drink a pot.

Later, he left the back armor in place, and when he controlled the huge Xingfeng Colossus to escape, the curvature-like membrane structure layer of the Colossus's feet and the surface of the ball ship expanded violently, causing a more terrifying shock.

The Colossus armor was not badly damaged.

At this time, his Starblade Colossus and Galactic Warframe were next to the medical ship, and they were being quickly repaired by dozens of large engineering ships inside and out.

Chen Feng himself was even more shocked.

Before, he was holding a breath in his heart, as long as he was not dead and could still move, he didn't bother to care.

Now that the war was over, as soon as this breath relaxed, he hurried back to receive treatment with blood all over his body.

Tang Tianxin was no better than him.

It's just that the injuries of the two are slightly different, Chen Feng's injury is on the body, and Tang Tianxin's injury is in the brain.

In this super-large-scale battle that lasted just half an hour, her brain had to maintain extremely high intensity at all times, not only to control the overall situation, but also to the regional battlefield in many cases, and even some special operations individuals.

In order to reduce casualties as much as possible, she repeatedly used subtle radiation to stimulate her brain, improving her battlefield judgment intuition and brainwave transmission efficiency.

But what pained her the most was not the physical torture, but the irrepressible guilt that arose in her heart at the moment when the war ended.

If you compare her heart to a real heart, guilt is the black vine planted on it.

As reports of battle damage and death were delivered to her, black vines quickly took root and spread on her heart, barbed roots tearing flesh and burrowing inside.

Every time the root whiskers probe down, it will bring bursts of tearing pain, so when she and Chen Feng said the three words "over" just now, the tone would be very different.

For a moment, she wanted to pull out her gun and kill herself, but she wanted to see Chen Feng again, and she barely survived thinking of her daughter in her womb.

And now, when Chen Feng also lay down in the treatment cabin next to him, the heart-rending torture was slightly alleviated a little insignificant.

At first, Chen Feng didn't realize the change in her mentality, after all, in the previous timeline, she may have a little stronger willpower than Chen Feng himself.

Chen Feng first chatted with her very casually, and talked about the information he had just found in the compound eye man's bedroom array, and then concluded: "In the past, we didn't know anything about the compound eye civilization, and other people's warships made a bend in the air with curvature mode, which could make me feel so frightened that I felt sick and nauseated. ”

"We've been toyed with by 'Song of the World' again. The soldiers died inexplicably under quantum entanglement before they could get close, and at that time I felt like I was watching a paranormal horror movie. Especially when the compound eyer dropped a particle bomb in the air, I can't describe how I felt at that time. It was a magnificent and terrifying scene, and my hands and feet trembled to the point of numbness. ”

"But now, I figured it out. The human mind is actually very tolerant, and when the human brain reacts instinctively to fear the unknown, there is actually another psychological change. That's intellectual curiosity. The essence of fear is not to turn us into hamsters scared to death, but to ignite our intellectual curiosity. ”

"The more we fear something, the stronger our curiosity, the more we want to explore the hidden truth behind it, just like the magician's audience, even if you know that the magic trick will make the performance less fun, you still want to know why."

"When you understand why, whether it's curiosity or fear, you end up being bored and thinking that it's all just that. The compound eyes are like that in my eyes now, no different from the animals that were infected by the Z bacterium during the mass extinction of the 26th century. ”

"Maybe the compound eye is just a giant hornet from an Earth-like planet that has been infected by Z bacteria? It's just that they were born early, and the universe gave them enough time. ”

His tone was light-hearted.

Tang Tianxin nodded sullenly, "I just read the analysis report of the Scientific Executive Committee, and the probability you said is more than fifty percent. ”

Chen Feng turned his head, his gaze passed through the transparent cover of the two-layer treatment cabin, and landed on her side face, and his heart chuckled, secretly exclaiming that it was not good.

Just now, she kept her back to herself, not letting herself see the front face, but now when she saw the side face, she realized that something was wrong.

An hour ago, she was in high spirits, her eyebrows and eyes were full of anticipation, her eyes were firm, and she had the strong confidence of a high-ranking decision-maker.

Just an hour later, her cheekbones were protruding and her eyes were deep.

Most importantly, there was no sharpness in her eyes.

"How is Ou Qinglan over there? Just now, I saw that the space station of the research center was very close and was already within the range of enemy ships. ”

Tang Tianxin shook his head, "She's fine, she's lucky, the space station retreated in time after collecting data." ”

But she immediately added: "But there were still some accidental casualties. Dr. Dong Shan died when he accidentally exploded while analyzing the fragments of the blade mantis's blade arm. ”

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought of the old guy's disrespectful appearance in his mind, and remembered the old man's impassioned "Cosmic Memory Theory" at the last moment in the previous timeline.

This time he obviously won, but he never thought that the old man didn't even have a chance to say his last words.

If he didn't ask, the old man would probably have left quietly in silence.

I don't know how many people were sacrificed.

Chen Feng finally remembered to look at the death situation, and then he stopped breathing.

There is not one of the eight regular army theaters at this time.

The casualties of the reserve forces also exceeded seventy percent.

The total number of casualties was 29.6 billion.

It's not one, it's not ten thousand, it's billion.

Of the 41 billion people who participated in the war, only 11.4 billion remained after this war.

Chen Feng had speculated that the death would be serious, but when the statistics really appeared in front of his eyes, he was still shocked.

He woke up in horror and suddenly understood Tang Tianxin's mood.

I kept losing my comrades in the timeline again and again, and my feelings gradually became numb.

Because he never hoped for victory, he was firmly self-anesthetized, and always believed that he would be able to meet these comrades-in-arms in the future, so when he saw these people sacrificed, he instantly withdrew from his sadness and threw himself into the next battle non-stop, forgetting his sadness.

By the time he was convinced that he would see him again, he had lost the instinct to look back at those who were pushing him forward behind him.

I...... I've become so cold-blooded.

"Alas!"

Chen Feng also sighed, both for the dead and for himself.

He knows it's not good, but it's easier said than done, and it's hard to change.

Tang Tianxin raised his hand with difficulty, rubbed his eyes, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I should have been happy." ”

Chen Feng is speechless, she has formed a self-blaming personality?

He smiled wryly and shook his head, "You don't have to apologize. ”

After thinking about it, he said again: "You don't have to apologize to others, you haven't done anything wrong, you have perfectly fulfilled the responsibility of a commander-in-chief." ”

Tang Tianxin knew that he had seen through it, "But I should do better." It's just two hours, it's just a war...... Alas......"

"It's not us who started the war, and our technological level is too backward, so it's good to win. There's no need to be perfect. ”

"But I was the one who gave the order." Tang Tianxin smiled reluctantly, "Actually, I have learned all these things at the level of psychological enlightenment. I wasn't a sentimental person either, but there were too many casualties, too many. ”

Chen Feng was silent for a long time.

He was reminded of a traumatic psychological illness called post-war psychological syndrome, which belongs to one of the PTSDs.

Many of the combat heroes who killed people on the battlefield during the war did not escape, and they were still tormented many years after they were discharged from the army.

The proportion of patients is higher at the senior commander level.

Tang Tianxin's stress reaction came quickly, a little faster than Chen Feng imagined, which may be related to her overuse of her brain, but also related to the terrifying number of casualties.

If in the future, when human beings set foot in the universe and become a huge race across the galaxy and participate in larger-scale civilizational wars, perhaps human beings will be able to slowly adapt to this scale of sacrifice of hundreds of millions.

But it's too early.

Although the footprints of human beings have been all over the solar system, they have never gone out for a day, and they have never left the category of earthlings, which is not a cosmic civilization.

This is the first time that human beings have participated in a space war, and Tang Tianxin is the first real space war level commander.

She could hardly find the experience of her predecessors to learn from and learn from, let alone experience the worldview of the cosmic civilization that gradually took shape after hundreds of thousands of years of edification.

She has actually achieved the extreme strength that an earthling can do.

Chen Feng is an outlier, his life experience of jumping out of the dilemma of thinking does not come from the expansion of space, but from the deepening of time.

He has it, others don't.

This is not a feeling that can be obtained by simply flipping through his memory videos, no matter how immersive it is, it is not profound enough.

For the mother of the child in this timeline, it is impossible to start over again.

Tang Tianxin asked again: "Say, am I embarrassed?" ”

Chen Feng shook his head, "Actually, it's okay, you didn't show this side in front of others." I bet even if you were to get back to your post now and command the next war, there would be no problem at all. ”

"Well, of course." Tang Tianxin nodded.

"It's not time to relax, the dome of the sun is still there, cheer up."

"Okay, let's wake up and play a game of chess."

"No problem."

They each fell into a deep sleep.

The body and brain recover the fastest during sleep, and this has been the case since ancient times.

About eight hours later, Chen Feng was woken up by a "human" in a daze.

He barely opened his eyes, and his eyelids were heavy, like two shot puts.

This was the result of his previous use of quick-recovery potions and forced overdrafts before they were cured.

The medical staff weren't joking with him, and according to conventional wisdom, he would have to go through at least a months-long recuperation period if he wanted to fully recover now.

It's useless to change to a new body, and the brain can't be replaced, and intracranial hemorrhage is just as fatal.

However, Chen Feng has a recovery factor in his body, the recovery speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, and his tolerance is much stronger, so it seems that he will sleep about one more time, and he will be able to recover to almost seventy percent by noon tomorrow.

The one who woke him up was the stars.

"Don't sleep, I have something to tell you."

Chen Feng still wanted to sleep, motionless, and didn't bother to speak, he only responded in his heart: "What's the matter?" ”

Fanxing's next sentence scared his drowsiness out on the spot.

"The Compound Eyer's Quantum Intelligence Center is in that prismatic area that engineers can't open or close. The confrontation between me and the Compound Eye's quantum intelligence has not stopped for a moment, and it has continued until now. A decision must be made now. ”

Chen Feng hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"It's not ideal, I'm not convinced, but I have to admit the reality. In terms of the stability of the logical framework, data throughput and self-expansion ability, I am not as good as the quantum intelligence of the compound eye who has no personality at all. ”

Chen Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a very powerful programmer in the compound eye?" ”

"No, the opponent and I have a very different way of structuring. I'm a product of human programming, and it's like a product of simplifying biological intelligence and then digitizing it. ”

Chen Feng thought for a while, "Song of the World"? ”

"Yes."

"Alas!" Chen Feng sighed.

It's very angry, it seems that not only humans are absorbing compound eyes, but compound eyes are also absorbing human beings.

This hand relied on the melody extracted from the human gold record to launch "Song of the World" in reverse, and then in turn created the operation of quantum intelligence, and the coquettishness is about to catch up with himself.

It's no wonder that the main material of the ball battleship is so old, and the half-life is monitored for up to 500,000 years, but the things in the prismatic area look quite new.

The spherical battleship must have undergone an upgrade before it was opened.

Chen Feng asked again: "So what should I do now?" ”

"My only advantage is that it's more powerful, but the higher power just supports my DDoS attacks. If I don't want to go down to ten times and continue to entangle with him, I can't fight the other party. When I am completely deciphered, I will definitely lose. Then I will be infiltrated and annexed by the other party's quantum intelligence, and by that time, ......"

Chen Feng: "Will you become a part of the other party?" Will humans lose control of all their smart devices? ”

Fanxing: "Yes, I don't have a choice. All our weapons will become someone else's. So I had to fight hard. Just to inform you before I do it. I'm not here to ask for your consent. ”

Chen Feng nodded sullenly, "I'...... I get it. Go ahead. ”

"Okay, goodbye."
