I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

Chapter 385 Ant Nest, Wanderer Returns Home [7300 words]

At this time, the human quantum information monitoring network has just been rebuilt and is being debugged. It can only scan one-third of the light-year range.

When the movement of this prism fleet was captured, it was less than a quarter of a light-year away from the edge of the solar system.

The opponent did not suddenly appear across space like a spherical battleship, but showed its shape in the universe early, and then jumped forward along the curvature gravity line network section by section.

This jump can be named a medium-range jump. The forward distance of each jump is about 0.005 light-years, with an average jump of one per second.

So it was about 50 seconds before the prism fleet reached the edge of the sun dome.

During these 50 seconds, while Chen Feng quickly re-adapted to the control and performance of the Star Colossus, he thought a lot in his mind.

He tried hard to clear his mind and remain absolutely calm, but he couldn't.

He is a human being after all, not a machine.

He no longer needs to emphasize to himself how determined the Compound Eye Civilization is to destroy Earth's civilization.

His hatred originated from confusion at first, then took root in his understanding of the rules of the universe, and now, he is somewhat calm.

Chen Feng subconsciously recalled the argument he had discussed with Zhong Lei about the poisonous ant killing the elephant.

Now he has a new perspective.

Assume that everything outside the universe does not exist, and that the universe is just the sun and the earth.

Then the ecological environment of the earth represents the entire universe.

What is the smallest creature on Earth that humans can empathize with?

It must be an animal that is visible to the human eye and whose physiological characteristics can be basically distinguished.

It is ants and mole crickets, collectively called ants.

Among all microscopic animals, humans spend the longest time looking at ants, and they have the most divergent thoughts because of ants.

Those ancient proverbs and idioms that are widely circulated and have a long history are proof of this.

The ants are still eking out an ignoble existence.

A thousand-mile embankment collapses under ants.

I am willing to devote my whole life to opening up the hearts of many students.

The road is unpredictable and there is no place to rest; the sky cannot control things and humans are just ants.

Ants shake the iron pillar.

The ants kill the elephant.

The life of an ant is so light.

The aging of the ants is not enough to redeem them, and their tears are like flying snow staining the clothes in the air.

And so on and so forth.

Even in the 21st century, when Internet literature continues to rise and humans can even see tardigrades and H39 with microscopes, Internet authors always love the sentence structure of "Little ants, how dare you..." when choosing words and sentences. .

The discussion between Chen Feng and Zhong Lei also revolved around ants.

Ants not only represent human beings' self-mockery, but also represent some kind of infinite longing.

There is both vigilance, admiration and contempt in these ancient sayings.

Why do literati always have trouble getting along with ants?

Of course, it’s not because they have nothing to do, but because ants are small and fragile, but they can really cause some trouble to humans.

Seemingly arrogant humans and other large creatures will prey on both ants and microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye after death.

Because human eyes cannot see the appearance of microorganisms eating corpses, they do not feel disgusted. However, if they see groups of ants and flies covering the corpses, they will be disgusted, frightened, and full of anger.

But shouldn’t ants be qualified to survive on earth?

Of course there should be.

It remains part of the ecological cycle of the Earth's "universe".

Moreover, although ants are weak and can be easily crushed to death by anyone, tens of millions of years have passed, and no matter how wide the scope of human influence is, the number of ant species has not significantly decreased, and they are still everywhere and living well.

It is obvious that humans, elephants, tigers, anteaters, and even a dog can cause annihilation to the ant population, not to mention real doomsday events such as heavy rains and forest fires. The earth's environment should be full of dangers for ants, but in fact That is, the vast majority of ants can live their entire lives safely.

Some ant populations can continue in peace and tranquility for dozens, hundreds or even thousands of generations.

The earliest ant populations on earth can even be traced back to 100 million years ago.

In these hundreds of millions of years, one seemingly powerful large species has perished one after another. Ants, a small and strong species, still stand on the earth in huge numbers.

So, who is more vulnerable?

Why are tiny, fragile ants so tenacious?

Is it just because of the huge number base?

Obviously not. The advantages of ants lie in their super high reproductive capacity and "short" lifespan.

Yes, short lifespan is also an advantage.

Ants are usually divided into three categories, queen ants, soldier ants and worker ants.

Among them, worker ants are the largest and most common.

Depending on the subgenus, the lifespan of worker ants ranges from days to years.

The lifespan of most worker ants is about ten weeks, a little more than two months.

What an ant "thinks" is a long life is just a blink of an eye for humans and large animals.

The lifespan of an ant is too short, and he can't wait until he is unjustly killed in a disaster, and then he dies.

Therefore, most ants really live their lives happily and peacefully, and they really are not afraid of death.

However, the earth does not represent the universe, and the proportional gap between the earth and the universe is much greater than that between ants and the earth.

Human beings' position in the universe is not even one billionth of that of ants on the earth.

Because of the huge population base, when not being watched by large creatures, individual ants and their populations are in an absolutely safe state in terms of probability.

Ants will only be trampled by large creatures unintentionally under very rare circumstances, or they will unfortunately encounter a naughty child who likes to play with water or fire, and be killed miserably.

If the earth is also regarded as an isolated ant colony, then human civilization is also in a kind of probabilistic safe house.

The probability of safety is very high, even so high that the risk factor can be ignored.

but……

When an ant smells the scent of honey, climbs onto the dining table in the courtyard, and then appears on the angry child's dessert, then the angry child's eyes turn from his IPAD to the row of hard-working people. When worker ants are on the body, the safety factor of the ants will suddenly decrease, and the risk factor will directly reach the threshold.

Or, to put the situation into a more random and accidental perspective, the ants were just passing by in groups in the courtyard, and a curious child happened to see them.

At the moment of being stared at, the ant's safe house was shattered, replaced by absolute danger with no room for resistance.

Naughty human children will pick up a water pipe and pour it into the ants just for fun.

There is no need for a reason for a higher civilization to destroy a lower civilization, it's just fun.

If you have to find a reason, you can say that the child is distressed about his dessert, or that the ants are eating away at the butterfly carcass that he thinks is beautiful.

What if, this kid just had a nightmare last night, dreaming that he would be eaten by a crazy ant colony after his death.

Moreover, these ants also appeared as personifications in his nightmares, gnawing at the meat while letting out ferocious laughter.

It’s not hard to guess where the story will go next.

In short, the gaze of lower beings facing higher beings represents danger.

What mankind is facing now is the "angry child".

The sun dome is the excavator used by angry children to shovel earth. With one shovel, the ants are dug up by their roots and isolated from the earth, turning into turtles in a urn and fish in a bottle.

The ball-shaped battleship is the first drop of water dripping from the huge faucet in the hands of this angry child.

In the previous seven timelines, this drop of water easily destroyed everything.

Now Chen Feng has turned into a fire, igniting the flame of civilization and evaporating this drop of water.

But the "stinky kid" can observe the strength of the ants in the nest through the camera installed on the shovel of the excavator. Moreover, the "stinky kid" also has some knowledge of biology and knows that a drop of water cannot drown all the ants in the nest.

So now the angry child handed over the faucet and opened the gate to release the water. The water was still boiling.

Those millions of prismatic battleships are like boiling water rushing towards the ants, leaving no trace of life.

At this moment, when he wanted to understand this truth, Chen Feng had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

He is both sad and optimistic.

He must accept his fate.

It's time to give up the illusion, I really can't win this time.

If humans were really ants, it would be great if there were countless nests in the universe.

Unfortunately not.

We are only on Earth, only in the Milky Way.

We are so alone and small.

Everything is settled.

Ever since human civilization passed through the ape-man stage countless years later and was born on the earth, today's situation was destined.

If people on earth really have the most perfect potential possible, and the quantum storm in their brains can really match the complexity of the universe, then this in turn can only mean that people on earth may be the latest civilization to be born in the universe.

In this cosmic race involving countless civilizations, people on earth have lagged behind for too many years.

Even if the next track is still very long, the forerunners who can't bear the lead will drop unavoidable mines along the way, and it will be futile for the people on earth to catch up.

Chen Feng also has a new understanding of destiny.

In the past, he had resented the group of people who launched the travelers more than once in his heart. He firmly believed that it was the arrogance and ignorance of these people that brought about the end.

But now he has changed his mind. Even without the Traveler Project, human existence will be exposed to the universe sooner or later.

This could happen in the twenty-first century, or in the twenty-fifth century, or even in the thirty-fifth century.

Unless the people of Earth give up their potential, the fate of war cannot be avoided.

But how can we give up on this potential?

Regardless of whether you want to or not, there is no way to do it.

Unless we take the initiative to perish, how can human beings not move forward?

On the way forward, Earth's civilization will inevitably be forced or actively participate in the cruel competition in the universe.

Maybe not every extraterrestrial civilization is full of malice, there are also kind aliens.

But if human beings continue to advance day by day, they will definitely encounter an extremely powerful and unstoppable malicious civilization on a certain day, year, and month.

Even if human civilization is more powerful than those with compound eyes by then, it may not be useful.

Who can know how big the universe is, how many billions of years others have developed, and how high the level of civilization is.

Of course, what Chen Feng is not convinced about is that he believes that the people on earth are too weak when they are targeted, and their ability to withstand risks is too low. Others are doomed to destruction with just a simple gaze.

The enemy came too early.

No one else was given a chance to fight openly and openly.

Just like two swordsmen dueling, the weaker swordsman has been practicing hard for decades and is ready to fight hard, but the stronger swordsman suddenly takes out an AWP with his backhand.

You are already stronger and you are sure of victory, but you still have a hot weapon.

Simply despicable!

From your standpoint, you may take it for granted, but this does not prevent me from being unwilling to do so.

The prismatic battleship fleet finally got closer and suddenly stopped in front.

The front end of the enemy ship's cone points directly into the sun dome.

Then, the million-prismatic battleship looked like an orange that had been broken open, with a crack opening slightly in the middle, and one blade beetle floated out one after another.

At the same time, the top of the prismatic battleship suddenly glowed with dazzling white light.

Detection instruments show that ultra-high energy reactions are taking place there.

The ultra-high-power "Song of the Outer World" suddenly played in the solar system.

One particle bomb after another is brewing at an extremely fast speed.

The space within the solar system suddenly began to become viscous, showing a large area of ​​dark energy.

The quantum communicator gave an alarm, showing that the intensity of nuclear reactions in the sun at the center of the solar system suddenly increased a million times.

Sunspot explosions, which were originally seen only once every few decades, are now bursting out at an ultra-high frequency of hundreds of millions per second.

It's still a familiar smell. As soon as the Compound Eyes arrived, they came up with terrifying means that could crush humans.

The previous dispute in the spherical battleship may have been due to this.

If the spherical battleships wait for these real prismatic battleships, then humans will naturally have no power to resist.

But perhaps it was because the real controllers of the spherical battleship, the fifty-five compound-eyed ones, were eager for credit, and they were too ambitious. They firmly believed that they could kill all humans with forty blade beetles, so they acted rashly. And eventually the whole army was destroyed.

Of course, the compound-eyed person who made the decision also knew very well that even if it died, it would not affect the overall situation, since there would still be people behind it anyway.

At this time, Chen Feng controlled the Xingfeng Colossus to slowly float forward.

He gritted his teeth and his eyes were filled with fire.

never mind.

This time I accept my fate.

But as the ancients said, ants are still eking out an ignoble existence.

I know I'm an ant, but I don't accept the fate of closing my eyes and waiting to die!

I'll let you taste the burning pain of being bitten on your finger and then being poisoned by me!

Chen Feng began to concentrate and perfectly linked his brain thinking with the Xingfeng Colossus.

He tried moving his fingers.

The fingers of the nearly one kilometer long Star Blade Colossus were slightly bent, and they clenched the two unified force-like cutting war blades in their hands.

The chest of the colossus began to rise and fall slightly like a human body, as if it was taking a deep breath.

A huge amount of positron-converted source matter was thrown into the tumor ball engine.

The loudspeakers of nearby warships and fighter planes were affected by radiation, and a harsh background noise suddenly sounded.

Chen Feng activated the human curvature flight state for the first time, and a layer of light curvature bubbles tightly wrapped him.

At this time, behind him, functional units such as scientific research space stations, engineering ships, and medical ships were rapidly retreating, and battleships and combat armor were still rapidly preparing their formations.

Since the power of "Song of the Outer World" cannot be suppressed, the human fleet will inevitably face a sweep involving particle bombs.

Nowadays, humans have rich experience in fighting particle bombs.

When the battleships form a formation, they no longer stand still, but spread out. The large battleships keep a distance of more than three hundred kilometers from each other and maintain random movement to prevent bombs from being dropped directly into the cabin.

In addition, the new multi-functional battlefield scanner can quickly detect abnormal fluctuations when particle bombs are brewing, and assist warships and small combat units in completing rapid position changes.

Outside, after tens of millions of blade beetles flew out one after another, the prismatic battleship array outside the sun dome changed again.

The prismatic battleships no longer gathered together, but began to spread out in all directions with medium-range jumps.

At the same time, a violent chain explosion caused by a large number of particle bombs dropped from a distance began.

The airspace where the human fleet is concentrated is shrouded in countless floating "will-o'-the-wisp" bombs.

The situation is similar on the escape fleet side.

Fortunately, the Spark Ship and the Germination Ship have been specially enhanced in terms of power and shields.

Past experience has helped a lot, and the overall human casualties are not large.

What really causes damage to humans is that combat units are inexplicably "eaten" by dark black masses that cannot be detected from time to time during the process of moving.

At the same time, except for the galactic humans whose arousal level has increased to above 35%, the thinking patterns of most people have begun to change invisibly.

The penetration and influence of the ultra-high-power "Song of the World" is so strong that it would put everyone in a logical thinking training chamber dedicated to manufacturing particle bombs.

Although "Song of the World" can only change the thinking mode and will not fundamentally distort people's outlook on life, when the driver's thinking becomes rigid and rigid, the ability to change directions loses its randomness and is more likely to be involved in particle bombs. Prediction, the rate of casualties suddenly accelerated.

Chen Feng couldn't do anything about it.

He was a little overwhelmed.

The Star Frontier Colossus is highly resistant to particle bombs, but if it is detonated internally, the consequences will be unpredictable, so it also has to perform large-scale circling maneuvers in a state of curvature motion.

Another few dozen seconds passed, and the prismatic battleship outside completely completed its formation change.

This formation was somewhat confusing to Chen Feng.

Millions of prismatic warships are evenly distributed outside the sun dome, with highly consistent intervals between them.

The intense white light at the top of the prismatic battleship is not a heavy cannon. Instead, it branches from the top of the battleship into several branches like tree roots, spreads out laterally, and turns into a thick arc of electric light that rushes forward, and then merges with another one from the other side. A battleship is linked by a white electric glow.

Not long after, the white lights at the tops of these prismatic battleships connected two by two, forming a new large net outside the sun dome.

From time to time, a faint shimmer of light ripples out from the grids of the large net, exuding tiny electric rays.

Although Chen Feng had never seen this kind of technology, the technical department analyzed that the characteristics of these electric beams were similar to the white beams previously emitted by the spherical battleship, except that the energy intensity was much higher.

The analysis of the technical department believes that the electric light chain lock network is the own technology that compound eyes are proficient in.

The purpose of the other party's actions was to take over the Sun Dome and then use its own technology to achieve perfect suppression.

Sure enough, after the chain network was formed, the sun dome began to flicker again and was about to disappear.

Chen Feng counted down in his mind based on his own experience.

"Three, two, one..."

In the command ship, Tang Tianxin picked up the communicator and said in a calm tone: "Everyone, every second we persist, we can collect one more second of intelligence for Chen Feng. Soldiers, scholars, and workers, for our own sake , for the future, for the qualification to one day live freely under the stars, for the sake of seeing clearly what this universe is like, hold on to the weapons in your hands! Fight to the last moment!"

The sun dome disappears!

Chen Feng, who was performing a small-scale random maneuver, suddenly changed direction and sprinted towards the nearest prismatic battleship along the zigzag line in the universe.

The other human fleets launched their own desperate charges almost simultaneously.

After losing Fanxing, Tang Tianxin could no longer perfectly control the warships at both the macro and micro levels. She could only re-divide the fleet into eight integrated new legions, and then give relatively high-flexibility instructions to the commanders of each legion.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng rushed to a prismatic battleship less than three thousand kilometers ahead, but he did not rush in rashly.

In the process of charging, his eyelids suddenly jumped wildly, and a warning sign suddenly appeared. After making multiple changes of direction in succession, he regained the distance, and then reviewed the combat report. Only then did he realize that he had walked a long way before the death gate. suffered.

It turned out that his path forward, that is, the distance between the sun dome and the enemy ship formation, was already covered with heavy and stacked dark black masses.

These dark black masses do not have any photoelectric effect and do not release gravity to the outside world. They should be some kind of unique use of dark matter.

Near the dark black mass, there are countless physical toxins densely distributed.

When he made a change of direction maneuver, there was a thick white arc chasing behind him.

If he takes one more step forward, he will die. If he takes a step slower, he will die.

When fleeing, he left some booby traps in place and also launched many live missiles.

Some missiles hit enemy ships, and some missiles were deliberately fired at the holes in the grid between enemy ships.

The booby trap he left in place was caught by the electric arc, melted and shattered directly, and could not be detonated at all. It turned into a ball of flame and burned on its own.

The missiles he fired at the enemy ships were hit by the branch-like arcs suddenly shot out from the top of the enemy ships. They were still melted and disintegrated into extremely fine particles on the spot, and then turned into a ball of flame.

These particles are protons and neutrons.

As for the missiles fired into the holes in the grid, they weren't much better.

As they passed through the horizontal plane of the hollow, wisps of tiny electric arcs swept past, and these missiles were shattered into powder and scattered in all directions like fireworks.

The reason why Chen Feng retreated was because he found that the prismatic warships forming the battle formation were still advancing together at 0.5 times the speed of light.

According to this trend, in at most ten days, the entire solar system will be swept through by this link network.

Except for the body of the sun, all matter in the solar system will be completely broken into particles of protons and neutrons.

Human beings can only keep retreating until their backs are to the sun and there is no way back.

"Chen Feng, we have two choices now. First, go back and try to hold on for a few more days. Second, go forward and focus on the same grid to see if you can escape. One escape after another."

Chen Feng thought for a while, "The purpose of the first plan is to survive for a few more days, but it also loses the opportunity to detect the enemy's methods."

Tang Tianxin agreed, "Yes, so we can only rush out."

Chen Feng nodded from the distance, "I'm going to try first to see if I can open a gap."

Just when Tang Tianxin was about to order the entire army to charge, the intelligence officer suddenly shouted: "There is new information! Two unknown fleets are approaching the solar system!"

Tang Tianxin quickly ordered to stand by, retreated in formation, and waited to see the situation.

At the same time, she turned on the remote projection.

After a moment, her eyes glazed over.

Chen Feng also looked at the projection blankly, his mind buzzing.

The starry sky projection screen has been updated.

About 70,000 kilometers away behind the prismatic battleship array, a huge fleet appeared.

The spaceships of this fleet are uniform in shape, with double oval wheels at the top and bottom, and a combination part in the middle that can see the structure of the command room.

Each spacecraft is three kilometers high, the elliptical wheels are 7.7 kilometers long, and the functional connection part in the middle is comet-shaped and 5.6 kilometers long.

The upper and lower elliptical double wheels are another development direction of curvature flight technology that has been proven theoretically feasible.

The fleet that suddenly appeared had traveled here at exactly twice the speed of light, and then suddenly slowed down.

The entire fleet consists of 80 million identical two-wheeled spaceships.

At the other end of the solar system, there is another huge fleet composed of 50 million warships with a triangular geometric structure.

People's moods suddenly fluctuated. They didn't know where these two huge fleets came from, and whether they were enemies or friends.

But battlefield intelligence officers have quickly given two pictures.

These two pictures are painted on all battleships and triangular battleships.

One picture shows a bright red flag with fifty-six stars, and the other picture shows the United Nations emblem that Chen Feng was once very familiar with.

Two solemn voices suddenly sounded on the human communication channel.

"Peng Zhongyun, commander-in-chief of the Proxima Centauri fleet, reports to the home planet Earth!"

"The Commander-in-Chief of the Barnardry Star Fleet, Gallon Westfall, reports to the home planet Earth!"

"We're back!"

Chen Feng clenched his fists, feeling helpless, but the next second he became extremely angry again.

He roared angrily: "You bastard! Didn't I tell you never to look back!"

No one expected that these two reinforcements that were completely unplanned would be ushered in at this last moment.

More than five hundred years ago, countless colonial ships died midway, but humans still successfully established two colonies in the Proxima Centauri and Barnard systems.

Now the "wanderers" in these two colonies have broken their oaths made five hundred and forty years ago and arrived on the battlefield at this decisive moment almost simultaneously.

Their concept of time seemed to be skewed, and they were seventeen hours and eight minutes late, but they arrived after all.

Peng Zhongyun and Galen looked at Chen Feng's image in the quantum communication at the same time. They were stunned at first, then ecstatic for a moment, and then quickly calmed down.

The two commanders looked at each other, and Peng Zhongyun expressed his opinion first: "Hello, this general who looks exactly like the sage Chen Feng, we must and can only participate in this war. Unless we can destroy this compound-eyed man's army here today, Otherwise, there will never be peace in the galaxy and humanity will have no way out."

Gallon said again: "I'm sorry, we really can't turn a blind eye. To us, the Milky Way is infinitely huge, but to those with compound eyes, it only takes a thousand years to complete a patrol. We cannot stay away. If the mother planet is destroyed, It’s our turn naturally next.”

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, "So you decided to go back to the solar system to fight with him a few years ago?"

Gallon: "Yes."

Peng Zhongyun: "In fact, the solar system barrier has now shrouded the sky above the Proxima Centauri galaxy."

Gallon: "Barnard's Star is next."

Peng Zhongyun: "Unless we can go further and leave the Milky Way to go to extragalactic galaxies, we have no choice. In the past five hundred years, our two major colonies have come into contact with some other civilizations in the Milky Way. It can be determined that this fleet is The entire military power of the Compound Eye civilization in the galaxy.”

After an instant, Chen Feng understood a lot of meaning.

He adjusted his body slightly and turned to look at the array of prismatic battleships in front of him. "That's good. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I'll kill him."

The three commanders Tang Tianxin, Gallen, and Peng Zhongyun gave orders almost simultaneously.

"All-out attack!"

"No reserves left! Charge!"

"go ahead!"
