An old question was put back in front of Chen Feng.

War?

Not going to war?

This question haunted him nearly 100 years ago, when he first stepped out of the earth.

With Chen Feng's nature, of course, he didn't want to sit idly by, and he had to go to the center of the battlefield to charge into battle in person to understand his thoughts.

But he found a reason to convince himself that he needed to gather information and not die too soon.

He really used this hundred years to accumulate countless knowledge in his mind, and even saved Xiaofu's life, allowing Xiaofu to move forward day by day, until he unearthed the Mystery Giant Ship, and then developed the Leaping Battle Armor, and finally destroyed the spherical battleship with his own strength.

Chen Feng has memorized a great deal of cosmology.

First of all, the coordinates of the life galaxies, miracle galaxies, and a large number of habitable and easily modified galaxies that have been developed and utilized by humans will greatly accelerate the development and expansion of Orion Arm humans in the next timeline.

Second, the knowledge of cosmology that he has carefully selected and integrated can also allow future generations of humans in the solar system to look at the universe in advance without leaving home, whether before or after the fall of the solar dome.

The technological process in the solar system will also be accelerated again.

Third, he wrote down the coordinates of the Mystery Giant Ship, and knew how to discover the core of the Mystery Clan's mind and brain, and also remembered Xiaofu's design plan for the Folding Leap Battle Armor, as well as Xiaofu's thinking mode of inferring the gene information of Z bacteria according to the protein structure.

Then next time, if he arrives here, he can also try to discover the giant ship himself and make the Leap Warframe.

Fourth, Xiaofu even understands the ZS bacteria, even if this understanding is actually useless, but it is better than dying with a blank face.

These are the results that Chen Feng has exchanged for a hundred years of lurking, which proves the correctness of his seemingly selfish choice at the beginning.

Now the situation has reached a new stage.

Before, he could still use the need to accumulate thick hair to prevaricate and paralyze himself, quietly ignoring the reason why he didn't go out of the mountain because he couldn't see "acquaintances" and didn't have the essence of the problem of the people he really cared about.

Now there is no time.

The same reason is prevaricated.

But the paradox remains.

He really didn't know what to do better.

He is not someone who does not dare to take responsibility.

It's not just pure selfishness that he's hiding, it's actually his greed.

This is not selfish greed, it is the greed that he has to act on behalf of the entire race, in the face of the survival of civilization.

He dreams of finding a better choice, as long as he can strive for more benefits for civilization, make the lives of everyone in this timeline more meaningful, and let Xiaofu complete the highest ideal of the last step, even if he lives up to the expectations of everyone in this timeline, and finally becomes a sinner who is greedy for life and afraid of death in the hearts of others, a "traitor" who abandons countless believers, he can bear it.

So, he's not necessarily selfish.

If Chen Feng took Xiaofu to the war now, according to Wei Xing's and his own estimates, he could at most postpone the two-month destruction period to three months, then Xiaofu would still not have time to complete the cultivation of the battleship.

But if he continues to hide, and after two months, the Orion Arm humans are left alone, then the fleet of the Compound Eyes will definitely start to search for and encircle him with all its might.

How long will you be able to escape?

Will the Compound Eyes quickly discover the mysteries of the Grasses by further infiltrating and absorbing the Orion Arm information, and also burrow into the subspace medium?

None of this is yet known.

But there may be another situation, after Chen Feng returns to human society with Xiaofu, let Xiaofu collide with other top scientists, inspire each other's ideas, and expand the construction of new and larger research institutions for Xiaofu, so even if the advancement of warship technology is slow, some other types of important technologies may erupt, maybe it can delay the defeat of mankind?

Or, in the remnants of the human scientific research force in the Orion Arm, there must be other people who are not inferior to Xiaofu in their intelligence, if Xiaofu is used as a catalyst and put into the big fish tank of the human race, can it form a strong catfish effect to complete the research and development of planting warships faster?

Chen Feng really didn't know.

His eyes are forever clouded with fog.

The fog was so thick that he couldn't see the way clearly.

The direction of history is full of possibilities, and every choice of Chen Feng will bring infinite variables and bifurcations, and the result of his thinking is that no matter how he chooses, he can't choose a standard answer.

Many people think that people who are absolutely calm and rational will definitely be able to make quick decisions when faced with a dilemma and will never hesitate.

In fact, this is completely wrong.

The more calm and independent you are, the more pheromones you collect when making decisions, and the more judgments you have based on comprehensive considerations, the more complicated the situation will be, and reason will not really help you to make a quick decision, whether it is correct or not.

What can motivate human beings to do without hesitation is not logic, but emotion.

Only emotion can make people know that they are wrong, and they dare to gamble.

Chen Feng was an old gambler before, but this time he hasn't found the fulcrum of his emotions, so he can't get rid of this confusion born of greed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Feng jumped down from the medical cabin and sighed.

In the thinking just now, God knows what a huge flow of information he quickly analyzed, but he didn't come to a conclusion, and he dizzled his brain.

He said to himself: "Anyway, whether you participate in the war or not, you won't be able to return to the territory of the empire for a while, so keep your distance first, neither close nor far away, just fly." Let's look at the situation again. ”

At the same time, he also sent a message to Xiaofu and changed the route for the time being.

Xiaofu didn't make any suggestions about this, he listened to Chen Feng's arrangement.

Chen Feng reopened the galaxy simulation system of the Imperial Territory, and once again examined the battle situation from the overall situation to the details.

Today, there are more than 600 major galaxies left of the 14,400 major human colonies.

The reason why this part of the colonial galaxy has been able to survive until now is not because of its strength, but purely because of mediocrity.

These galaxies do not have top-level scientific research institutions that can promote technological progress, nor are they large-scale industrial bases with mature industrial chains in all aspects and some special mineral deposits, nor do they have a favorable natural planetary natural environment and a moderate stellar environment, and they are not a breeding base for the cultivation of reserve populations.

In addition, more than 800 new colonies were established to replenish the military resources and restore industrial capacity.

The Dyson membrane energy base galaxy has expanded to hundreds of thousands, but after years of war, there are now fewer than 10,000 left, and the main channel for the transportation of biological batteries has long been cut off.

The 1,024 stargates have long since been wiped out.

Large human carrier ships are no longer able to safely navigate the route.

As long as a large transport ship dares to appear on the route, it will definitely be spotted by the patrolling and sweeping blade mantis.

Humans can only send small artificial or intelligent ships to pass through the channel in small quantities and batches, and try to bring more energy batteries back to the surviving galaxy in a short period of months or years.

Even so, there will still be small units that will be attacked from time to time.

If you don't encounter a blade mantis, but a beetle or a dragonfly fighter, there's a chance to fight it.

If you encounter a blade mantis, you basically only want to be able to escape for one more second.

Despite the dangers, these long-distance porters never stop on the move.

Nobody cares about death, just like everyone knows that air crashes have a high mortality rate, but people still have to fly.

There will always be people to sacrifice, but there will always be people who can get to their destination and bring back their precious batteries.

Since microwave transmission cannot cross planetary systems, the main output of the Dyson Membrane Energy Base system is on batteries.

In a complete industrial system, every high-performance battery can be converted into dozens of standard fighters.

A few dozen batteries can be converted into a small warship.

The porters also often change their destinations on the fly, either because of the Blade Mantis in the energy base ahead, or because the galaxy of the destination has been destroyed.

Since many years ago, after the compound eyes changed their war strategy, began to gradually purge and blockade the scientific research, industrial and population supply capabilities of the human race, and continued to cut off the human supply lines, the porter has become an important type of work, and there are many practitioners.

Since the end of 3118, when the Compound Eyes built a serpentine stargate and began to encroach on or destroy the human stargate, the number of porters has skyrocketed countless times in a short period of time.

A huge number of porters resembling cosmic vagabonds, with their lives, formed the blood vessels of the remnants of the Morrowind Empire's colonies, supporting the last afterglow of the Empire.

In short, on the vast imperial star map, most of the once thriving human colonies have long since turned into a small orange dot.

The remaining 1,400 galaxies are scattered scattered throughout the territory, not large or organized, most of them have turned blood-red, and only a few still show a green color for temporary security.

The original seventy-two star regions of mankind have long since existed in name only.

Chen Feng noticed that at the other end of the Morrowind Empire's territory, far away from his position, there was a red dot that was particularly bright and dazzling.

He first narrowed down his search, zoomed in on the star map, and then sighed.

It's weird.

At present, there are about 90,000 prismatic warships patrolling outside the Orion Arm to hunt down escape ships.

The nearly 900,000 prismatic warships in Orion's arm were divided into groups of hundreds, divided into more than 1,000 squads, to attack different human galaxies.

But in the small planetary system in front of him, there were a full 100,000 prismatic warships.

Moreover, the combat idea adopted by the prism was different from the past, not to divide and advance, but to form a grid link array around a huge star that made Chen Feng seem familiar, and pressed forward steadily with a slow but firm attitude.

Chen Feng swept the detailed information of the galaxy, and then it suddenly dawned on him.

This is the DF-711 galaxy equipped with the ultra-small star engine codenamed 001, and it is also the only slow superfortress ship built by mankind to directly power from stars.

Since the beginning of the war, the DF-711 fortress ship with a diameter of 7.11 million kilometers has begun to accelerate slowly at an extremely slow pace, drifting from the edge of the development sector towards the Orion arm.

Since it was not possible to build a huge curvature bubble generator that covered a range of 7.11 million kilometers, the Bastion could only use the traditional medium propulsion mode.

A hundred years have passed, and the flight speed of the 711 fortress ship still has not reached the speed of light, only 60,000 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to about one-fifth of the speed of light, and it has not left the territory of the Morrowind Empire, but it is only a little closer to the frontier.

But this is within scientists' estimates, and if it can hold on for a few hundred years, the 711 fortress will gradually approach the speed of light and drop unstoppably to the far other side of the Laniakea supercluster.

According to scientists' estimates, the full-power force field shield of the fortress ship can win by the amount of the grid plasma tear of the prismatic battleship, and can also rely on the huge mass to resist the traction and devouring of the black hole bomb, and the force field shield coupled with the ultra-thick alloy shell protection can also resist the bombardment of antimatter bombs.

As for the unified force cutting of the blade mantis, I am not afraid.

The surface of the fortress ship is covered with countless energy cannons that use focusing lenses, which can carry out saturation strikes on the outside, and if the blade mantis really rushes up, there is every chance to destroy it.

As for the Blade Mantis's ability to leap?

Under the super gravitational pull brought by the super high quality of the fortress ship, the space near the fortress ship was already distorted, coupled with the continuous influence of the ultra-high power space disorder force field, it was not so easy for the blade mantis to jump closer.

As for physical toxin bombs?

That's not afraid.

There are tens of thousands of layers of shell armor of the fortress ship that are independent of each other, and there is also a scale structure design that can be divided at any time.

The shell of the lower layer can be immediately raised to take over the damaged parts, and the manufacturing plant on the inner layer can work overtime to produce new armor.

Stellar engines aside, the batteries hoarded in the fortress ship are enough for the billions of people inside to last at full capacity for tens of millions of years.

Researchers have not done nothing in the past 100 years, and while analyzing the structure of the prism, in addition to studying how to break through the opponent's armor, of course, they are also improving their own materials according to the feedback from the explosion.

According to the most pessimistic estimates of the top brass of the empire, even if the battle is defeated, the 711 fortress ship has every chance to rush into the endless universe, even if it is chased by the prism ship along the way.

The history of mankind will continue in the fortress ship, and there will be opportunities for a thousand years, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, millions of years, or even tens of millions of years.

Maybe one day, humanity will be able to enter the territory of another, more powerful civilization that happens to be on the side of the "good guys"?

It's a dream, but it's better than locking yourself in a nightmare.

The Morrowind Empire's High Command is also located in the fortress ship.

With such a large target, it is naturally difficult to escape the eyes of compound eyes.

Before, the Compound Eyes may have planned to save it for the last time to pick it up slowly, but now it suddenly changed its mind and mobilized a full 100,000 prismatic ships to surround it.

The pace of the fortress ship's advance has not stopped, but the encirclement of the prismatic ship has also steadily moved in sync with the speed of the fortress ship.

Inside, there were still countless warships and fighters flying out, trying to tear apart the encirclement of the prism.

On the periphery of the encirclement, there are more scattered human forces gathered from all directions.

Beneath the sand tower, the human forces trying to break through the protective layer of the prism on the periphery alone are comparable to the Barnard Star fleet at its peak.

There is no doubt that this will be the last battle of humanity.

Vistar's two-month estimate refers to exactly how long it thinks the 711 fortress ship will last.

As for the other colonial galaxies, they can't carry it by then.

When the 711 fortress ship was destroyed, it was the time when human civilization came to an end.
