Chapter 437: Not Participating in the War [5400 Words]
He was pleased with the sheer size of the Orion Arm Humans and disappointed that he had not seen any higher technological advances.
The expansion of the empire's territory came mainly from parts of the solar system that broke out of the solar system five hundred years ago, and the Endeavour took root in various places.
In addition to the quantum refractory stargate, the new technologies created by human beings are generally within the scope of Chen Feng's imagination and reasoning.
If he can understand it now, it means that the degree is not enough.
At present, the total human population is about 35 trillion, and the average population size of each planetary system is 2.43 billion.
The number of stellar-star Dyson films built by humans is more than 100,000.
The number of people seems to be huge, and the total amount of energy mobilized is staggering, but it is still a quantitative change, not a qualitative change.
If the enemy was still only a spherical battleship, perhaps Chen Feng could have declared victory in advance.
But now that Chen Feng's imaginary enemy has changed from a spherical battleship to a million-edged ship of the compound eye civilization located in the Milky Way Territory, and even he has considered the potential threat of the compound eye home star located in the Virgo Local Galaxy Group, it is obviously not time to celebrate in advance.
There was another layer to his disappointment.
He didn't expect to see even a familiar name.
Tang Tianxin, Ding Hu, Lin Bu, Scott, Ouyang Zhenghua, Ou Qinglan, Dong Shan, Lu Xianxian, Pang De, Ye Luming and others did not even see Na Weilun, Mathilde, Gaius, Charles, Lawrence, and Baienstad.
This time, the development of human civilization has changed so much, and the solar system has been wiped out even more, Chen Feng has thought that he will definitely lose some people.
It is entirely possible that the ancestors of these acquaintances partially remained in the solar system and then died in the ZS Doomsday Havoc.
But not a single one, it's too much.
"Wei Xing, search for these people again......"
He added to the roster.
Chen Feng's memory is very good, and he is also deliberately trying to remember more useful people, he has at least thousands of names and thousands of people's voices and smiles in his head.
He reported all the names first, and at the same time, he also output the appearance photos with the intensity of nearly 100 faces in each picture by constructing pictures in his mind.
When the last wave of humanity left the solar system, 21 billion of the 37 billion people left, accounting for more than half.
Even if only the most basic probability and statistics are considered, the ancestors of so many acquaintances should always go out.
Two hours later, Wei Xing: "Sir, the preliminary search has been completed, and no corresponding person has been found, do you want to continue?" ”
Chen Feng: "Huh? ”
I don't have any acquaintances!
This does not conform to his personal logic of seemingly fallacious but actually true truths that he has summed up with experience in the continuous journey for a long time.
Can't all the ancestors of everyone I care about stay in the solar system, or the Endeavour capsized, right?
What kind of bad luck does this have to be for such a comprehensive low-probability event to occur?
Chen Feng rolled his eyes.
me!
It's a ghost.
He did not want to accept this fact, but reality was not shifted by his personal will.
"Divide 10% of the computing power, open long-term retrieval, notify me if there is news, and keep looking for no news. Other computing power continues to focus on analyzing technology and the state of the Morrowind Empire. ”
After re-instructing, Chen Feng spent a full two hours to complete the psychological construction and reluctantly walked out.
He briefly looked at some other important historical materials.
For example, the Dome of the Sun disappeared from the Solar System in 2589 and reappeared in Proxima Centauri in 2599.
The basic population of Proxima Centauri from the solar system is close to 50 million, and after more than 200 years of development, by 2599, Proxima Centauri has a population of more than 10 billion.
At that time, mankind had taken the lead in completing the fifth generation of Dyson membranes in Proxima Centauri, and there were still three, using all three stars: α Centauri A, α Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri.
The South Gate Galaxy, which includes Proxima Centauri, is the second pole of human civilization in terms of prosperity after the parent planet's solar system, and is considered to have high potential due to the existence of the three-star system, which has sufficient energy resources.
But all of this came to an abrupt end after 2599.
The solar dome became the Proxima Centauri dome, and ZS bacteria were re-introduced.
This time, humanity was prepared, strictly quarantined from the beginning, and quickly cleared the planet, completely annihilating the infected space station and ships, so Proxima Centauri humans quickly extinguished the threat of ZS bacteria after paying a small sacrifice, which spanned less than five years.
The results look good, but the time for Proxima Centauri Dome to tamper with the rules to maintain the presence of ZS bacteria is too short, and the energy does not appear to be depleted.
Since then, the Dome of Proxima Centauri has not disappeared, and the Samsung system has been shrouded to this day.
Humans in Proxima Centauri's system can no longer receive external information, their potential is suppressed, and their development has slowed down suddenly.
This situation is slightly different from the solar system in the previous timeline.
The human leaders of the solar system in the eighth timeline are not sure whether the departing humans have succeeded in building colonies, and they are also unwilling to expose the existence of these colonies, so they have never revealed their own technology to the public.
In this timeline, Proxima Centauri still insists on publishing its research results through radio signals, in order to help the Orion Arm humans outside.
But unconsciously, the Proxima Centauri civilization has long lagged behind the Orion Arm humans by several technological generations, but they don't know that they are seriously behind.
Proxima Centauri's humanity is still tirelessly releasing information to the outside world every 10 years on average.
The most recent publication took place in 3015.
However, almost all the fields involved in the scientific and technological information database provided by Proxima Centauri were conquered by the Orion Arm humans as early as 2,900 years ago.
But no one laughed at the "ignorance and backwardness" of Proxima Centauri's humans, they just felt distressed.
They were supposed to be the most potential clansmen, but they just endured the greatest pressure for all mankind and became caged birds.
Orion Arm humans have also seen the power of the invaders in the Dome of Proxima Centauri, and have never stopped trying to crack the Dome, but they have never been able to find a clue, and there is still no way to take the Dome.
This dome is clearly a cosmic miraculous existence beyond human cognition of the grand unification theory.
Chen Feng got an important hint from this seemingly trivial piece of information.
This proves Sergei's second conjecture about the dome of the sun.
Maintaining the rules of alienation that do not conform to the natural laws of the universe will indeed continue to rapidly deplete the reserve energy of the dome.
When the energy is consumed to a certain extent, the dome will briefly fail and disappear in an instant.
Chen Feng had also suspected that the Compound Eyes had moved the dome directly and transferred it to another galaxy.
Now that the 10-year gap has been exposed, it means that in this decade, the solar dome should be recalled.
This is, of course, good news.
This exposes the upper limit of the stellar dome's capabilities, and there should be no stronger means than ZS bacteria.
At the same time, this also partially exposes the upper limit of the means mastered by the compound eye civilization.
Humanity had built so many colonies, Proxima Centauri was just the one that stood out at the time.
However, the compound eye has always dropped only one Proxima Centauri dome.
Is it that they don't want more?
Obviously, it can't be, and the more things that are so good, the more the better.
Chen Feng made bold assumptions, and then made decisive guesses.
Only one is because they have only one in their hands.
Chen Feng even speculated on the pattern of the attack of the Prismatic fleet this time.
The long-range route preset by the compound eye civilization must be directed at Proxima Centauri.
Upon arrival, the Compound Eyes civilization should adopt a strategy of dividing their forces.
Only a handful of prisms were sent into the Proxima Centauri Dome, harvesting it in a few years, and moving the dome to the next planetary system for blockade at about the same time.
Most of the other prismatic ships will scatter and pounce on different human colonies, using the extra-long battle line to create a huge meat grinder to quickly wear down the vitality of the human race, and use their super mobility and search ability to complete the clearance in the Orion arm first, and then pursue those humans who have fled outside the Orion arm.
This pattern is the same as the war between the Compound Eyes and the Lost Clan.
It's just that the battleship of the Compound Eyes has undergone a new generation and has become the prism ship it is today.
Now Chen Feng has enough knowledge of the respective scientific and technological levels of the two sides.
Based on his understanding of warfare, he believed that the humans in Orion's arm would last about a hundred to one hundred and fifty years.
The main range of human activity is only 5,000 light-years in diameter, which is much smaller than the original Mystery Race, which spread throughout the galaxy, and the number of people is much smaller.
This battle will certainly not be fought for thousands of years, and it will be lost.
As long as humans are unable to destroy prismatic warships, they will inevitably be defeated in the end.
Maybe a real stellar cannon or a cluster of black hole bombs could pose a threat to the prism, but that's a bit of a mistake.
In the previous timeline, the reason why humans were always able to easily trap the ball battleship and successfully restrain its instantaneous leap ability was because the compound eye individual who controlled the ball battleship made a very personal judgment, firmly believing that humans could not break through the ball ship's defense, and the judgment was wrong.
And the main function of the ball ship is only patrolling, not the main combat equipment of the compound eye.
When human beings rushed out of the solar system ahead of time and rapidly developed into today's level 3 civilization, it was obvious that the compound eyes could no longer be taken lightly.
The other side will inevitably go all out to guard against it from the beginning, show a real war attitude, and then easily trap it and beat it wildly, it is unlikely.
A more serious enemy must be faced, and this is the price that humanity must bear for its rapid development.
Chen Feng also believes that in a cosmic-level war, what do you want to play and pretend that you are weak, but in fact, it is meaningless and impossible to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Therefore, Chen Feng still believes that mankind will be defeated.
As a warrior who stands to the end almost every time, he is a staunch defeatist at heart, and he is really twisted, but it is also the unique knowledge that has sustained him all the way to today.
After reading all the important information, Chen Feng used it for nearly a whole day, slightly tired.
He stretched, stood up, and began pacing back and forth in the room, thinking.
It's time to make a decision on whether or not to get in touch with the humans of the colonies in this timeline and join the war yourself.
Frankly, he had had a hallucination when he was inflated before.
That is, they are very important to humanity, and if they do not participate in the war, they will not see hope.
But now he's slowly changing his mind.
The concept of human warfare has changed from a single combat force to a cluster of warships or fighters.
Even if he goes back to the war and goes to the front in person, he is only one of the trillion soldiers.
Even if he is more outstanding and is considered a soldier king, he is still only a drop in the ocean in a war of this scale.
He wasn't so inflated that he thought he could match a huge army on his own.
As for his war experience, it seems to be important, but it has long been left in the "title page code" of "The Madman's Conjecture", and it has also been discovered, and then it has been thoroughly studied by scholars, military leaders, political leaders and think tanks throughout the ages.
So, now Chen Feng realizes that he doesn't seem to be as important as he imagined.
If the most sophisticated weapon of human beings is not individual equipment, then with him and without him, it actually means more or less.
It's not many days before the compound eyed arrives on Proxima Centauri.
Even the fleet of the Compound Eyes may have entered the Orion Arm, but it has not yet escaped from the long-range state of the warp, and humans cannot detect it.
Even if he succeeded in blowing himself up on the spot and forced scientists to develop individual weapons specifically for him, it would be too late.
Engineering places special emphasis on the accumulation of experience.
This experience is not simply a technical application, but also a lot of creative accumulation.
The core of engineering is how to combine the cutting-edge technologies of the current era in a scientific and reasonable way to achieve a certain function stably and reliably to meet a certain needs of human beings.
The process of combining technology may seem boring and boring, but it is actually full of creativity and inspiration, not art but like art, just like the Wright brothers invented the airplane, Carl Benz invented the internal combustion engine, and so on.
Every engineering invention seems to be full of engine oil, but it is all the embodiment of the artistic talent of top engineers.
Quantum intelligence can accumulate some experience in the use of technology through simulation, and help mankind avoid detours, but if you want to achieve innovation that meets human needs, it still needs people.
The current concept of human warframe design is still stuck in 500 years ago.
However, there has been a huge generational gap in the level of science and technology in different eras.
The mechanism of action of the parts and components is different, and the past experience cannot be followed, Chen Feng asked others to design individual armor for him, so he had to start from scratch.
It is unrealistic to make up for 500 years of technological stagnation in a month, and let individual weapons catch up with or even surpass other types of troops.
Without the most perfect equipment, even if he goes, he can't show his strength.
If he retreats to the next best thing and chooses to board a battleship and become a carrier-borne soldier, it will be even more meaningless.
With his commanding talents, he was barely qualified for the post of fleet commander.
But he is very self-aware, he does not have the talent and talent of Tang Tianxin, and he may not be better than others.
He ventured to the front line, looking imposing, but if he died in advance without paying attention, or if he was simply captured alive, it would be really miserable.
After careful consideration, Chen Feng comprehensively considered many factors, and decided not to participate in the battle in person, but only hid in the shadows, quietly stealing information through Wei Xing's resonance channel, and continued to collect information in order to get more information.
This war between humans and the Prismatic fleet will last for a long time.
With so many different types of warships and fighters, different guns and missiles, even if they can't smash the prismatic ship, there will always be some difference in the explosion and energy impact caused by each time.
Scientists will also continue to analyze and find the most effective means of killing as much as possible.
For example, what if the shock wave caused by the explosion of a special material from a certain planetary system can cause the Prism's shaped shield to vibrate violently?
For example, the secretion of a creature on a low-level civilization planet can corrode the prism case after continuous purification and strengthening?
Although this is a very unlikely event, Chen Feng always has to keep looking forward to it.
In short, his presence can make the defeat in this timeline meaningful.
He is able to remember these important events and bury their clues into the history of the next timeline, allowing human development to be focused.
His presence can infinitely magnify a small breakthrough of humanity.
But if he dies early, he doesn't even know whether the humans in this timeline have succeeded or failed.
If it succeeds and he doesn't know it, then his next change may lead to failure.
If he fails, he doesn't see it, and he can't sum up the lessons learned, which is tantamount to sacrificing in vain.
Therefore, he is the bottom line of the value of human resistance.
As long as he's alive, he can make failure meaningful, and next time he can figure out how to maintain his success.
In the past, Chen Feng had no choice, so he couldn't go up.
Now that he has a choice, he can think more about it before making a decision.
He had found a good reason and succeeded in convincing himself.
So he changed his mind and decided to be more utilitarian and be an "indifferent observer" lurking in the shadows.
Chen Feng reopened the star map and looked at the projection of the information becoming more comprehensive again.
At this time, 1,000 and 24 stargates and 14,358 colonized galaxies have been marked.
There is also an expansion bar behind the naming of each colonial galaxy, and after clicking on it, you can see the comprehensive parameters of development weighted by Weixing, including population estimation, population proportion distribution estimation, industrial production capacity index, scientific research ability index, achievement transformation ability index, art and culture index, existing military strength index, comprehensive evaluation of military potential, etc.
For example, the existing military strength index is composed of the number of ships of different levels and scales, the scientific and technological content of ships, the comprehensive quality of soldiers, the weighting of special weapons, and the weighting of commanders' comprehensive scores.
Although the accuracy of these assessments made by Weixing is not high enough, and there are many fallacies, as time goes by, the information obtained will become more and more comprehensive, and the conclusions will become closer and closer to reality.
Chen Feng casually clicked on a thriving planetary system, and the scale of the star map automatically zoomed out, and his vision focused on the vicinity of this planetary system.
"Total population size: 55.65454...... 100 million people. Workers: 37.1551...... 100 million people. The distribution of workers in the industry is ......"
A huge planetary system civilization is simply summed up by such a long list of numbers.
Chen Feng exited the planetary system again, and the picture returned to the territory of the vast Morrowind Empire.
His gaze was condensed like a spark, with an indescribable sadness and guilt, as well as anticipation.
He remembered the timeline when humans were trapped and dead in the solar system.
He took a long breath and thought to himself.
Gathering is a fire, and scattering is a sky full of stars.
When I gaze at the night sky, I always fantasize about everyone's faces.
I caused the destruction of the solar system in exchange for a new Morrowind Empire.
But I don't think it's just me.
Work is work.
It's over.
I don't care what future generations say, I just ask myself if I can do better.
If I could, I would like to keep the solar system.
I will face up to my own merits and demerits, and truly resume my responsibility as a leader.
I'll never have the slightest thought of being put on the shelves with ducks thrown off the shelves.
I will respect my choices, I will no longer be afraid of responsibility, I will no longer be afraid of pain, I will no longer be afraid of mistakes, I will no longer hesitate.
This time, I'm just on the sidelines!
On October 17, 3020, a fleet of 999999 prismatic warships appeared a light-year away from Proxima Centauri, 10 days ahead of the previous timeline.
The war began.
Chen Feng's Morrowind 2, in the pitch-black universe less than five light-years away from the battlefield, turned away from Proxima Centauri and headed for a seemingly empty planetary system ahead.
There is an unattended space garbage dump there.
