"Professor Ouyang, it's nice to see you."
Chen Feng blinked at the white coat in front of him.
No wonder he showed his emotions so easily and seemed impatient.
He has been in a good mood since he came here.
Every time he saw one more familiar face still exist, he felt very comfortable and lucky.
He has been changing history.
In his personal history, history books are not static books, but like Schrödinger's cat, or like electrons moving around protons. It is unpredictable and unmeasurable.
It exists because he sees it.
Before he arrived at this timeline and reconnected it, all history was nothingness.
Only when he arrived here and lifted the lid with his own hands could he see whether the cat was dead or alive.
To put it in an exaggerated way, Chen Feng, who keeps traveling through time, creates a universe every time he closes his eyes.
But he himself doesn't know what this universe he "created" is like, and whether the people he was familiar with in the past still exist.
He has been avoiding one thing.
In the past, he didn't want to have emotional intersections with people thousands of years later. The superficial reason was that he knew that everyone would die in the end, and the underlying reason was that he was anxious that his changes to history would accidentally make his good friends disappear.
That would be very hurtful.
After he came here last time, because he saw Ding Hu several times in a row, and his comrades in the recruit camp had not changed much, he gradually opened up his closed heart.
But the deeper he got, the deeper his anxiety became.
He can learn to be calm, but he will never learn to be ruthless.
The familiar faces that kept appearing were like screwdrivers pulling out the thorns in his heart, so he was too active today.
Professor Ouyang frowned slightly and tilted his head back, "Have you seen me before?"
Chen Feng shook his head and walked to the test equipment, "No, but those of us who have been on the battlefield always respect the technical personnel."
Ding Hu couldn't stand his familiarity, "Shut up, little bastard! You are still a long way from fighting on the battlefield!"
Chen Feng shook his arm and completed a test. He pointed to the three big words "New Record" on the virtual image in the air and smiled at Ding Hu, "Is it not that far now?"
The whole laboratory instantly fell into madness.
The lap data measured by Ding Hu himself with a watch was not rigorous enough to drive people crazy, but the data in the laboratory was rigorous enough and instantly synchronized globally.
No one could have imagined that the devastating new physical test parameters would appear so casually.
As the test progressed, Chen Feng kept refreshing every record.
"My God, what kind of gene awakening did you experience last night? I've seen your body parameters before, and you were obviously just above average, this..."
Ding Hu was speechless.
Chen Feng keenly captured the four words "gene awakening" and kept them in mind.
Great, another new technology.
The day was spent in busy tests.
Physical examination, psychological test, political review, somatic cell sampling...
"Okay, Corporal Chen Feng, you go back to the dormitory and rest first. The general will meet you after returning to the base tomorrow morning."
Things were finally settled, and Dr. Ouyang made the arrangements.
Chen Feng endured it for a whole day, but finally couldn't help it and asked, "Doctor, as a new recruit, I have a presumptuous question."
"Go ahead."
"What's the general's name?" "
Corporal Chen Feng, what are you talking about? You didn't attend the recruit orientation when you first came to the base? Haven't you met the general?"
"Maybe my gene awakening last night caused some memory disorder. I have an impression in my mind, but I'm not sure, so I thought I'd ask first to avoid being rude tomorrow."
"You already have a formal organization. Although you can check it yourself after you go back, I can also tell you. The general's name is Tang Tianxin."
"Male or female?"
"Female."
"Is she beautiful?"
"From the perspective of aesthetics, the general's appearance is impeccable."
"Thank you, this is the best news I have heard today."
Following the help of the personal information system, Chen Feng returned to the dormitory alone, and then began to check the information.
The amazing physical test data brought him great convenience. Without the need to report, his position in the military system was automatically promoted to corporal.
When Chen Feng saw this, he felt a storm coming on his face.
This time, the changes he made to past history were so great that he was shocked.
First of all, the historical archives he could read became more detailed, which was countless times more comfortable to read than the full outline last time.
Although the militarized management of this era is more stringent, it is much more relaxed in terms of information control.
Although the doomsday disaster has not yet been exposed, the world government no longer forcibly completely blocks historical materials and knowledge, but has switched to another more tempting guidance strategy.
All changes still have to start in early 2020.
"Bath of Fire", which was originally created by Zhong Lei, is still a military song now, and still plays an extremely important role in the birth of Xuanwu Academy.
But the birth time of Xuanwu Academy was advanced by nearly a hundred years.
Ou Junlang became famous all over the world after releasing his first album. Although he has not created or sung other classics since then, his first album alone made him famous for a whole life.
Of course, due to the great Renaissance in the early 21st century, the music world flourished, and Ou Junlang unfortunately did not return to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, his artistic career as a singing artist was still successful.
This forced him to return to manage the Ouhe Group at the age of 65.
However, Ou Junlang's influence on the Ouhe Group was greatly weakened because he, the only heir, was reluctant to return. In his later years, Ou Guohua simply listed the entire Ouhe Group on the stock market.
In the tide of the market, although the assets of the Ou family have been growing continuously, the Ouhe Group has grown faster. By the time Ou Junlang returned, the Ouhe Group had become a super-large multinational group with assets of one trillion. The Ou family's shareholding ratio had dropped to 31.28%, and they could no longer allow Ou Junlang to do whatever he wanted.
After that, the Allho Group lasted for nearly a hundred years before it lost in the competition for new energy research and was swallowed up by another company, becoming the dust of history.
But the Allho Group left more scientific research results for all mankind.
These are visible to Chen Feng's naked eyes, and he personally made the most direct changes to mankind.
But there is another major event in history that is inseparable from him and Zhong Lei.
The song "Self-Ignition", especially its English version, caused a terrible turmoil at the end of the 25th century, when the World Government had just been established for less than a hundred years.
This is a revolution.
Under the tide of the times, a Slav named Sergei was born in 2543.
Sergei is a genius scientist, a rare all-rounder in science. In the first half of his life, he left behind many major scientific research achievements that are enough to transcend the times.
Based on his scientific inferences, his descendants have made great breakthroughs after nearly three hundred years of advancement. The results of this breakthrough are still in use until 3020, and provide almost 100% of the energy supply for all mankind.
In the previous timeline, there was no famous person named Sergei.
Maybe this person was not born at all, or died early due to some external environmental interference.
But in this timeline, Chen Feng can now see so many products of scientific and technological innovation. The role played by Sergei is not less than that of the Ouhe Group and Xuanwu Academy, and may even be higher.
But Sergei's contribution was mainly only in the first half of his life.
At this stage, he was a researcher in the World Government's research institute.
He almost became the only chief scientific officer in human history, who could take charge of the overall situation.
But a year before his inauguration ceremony, he watched a movie that seemed crude and sloppy to later generations.
"Chaos Space".
It was not the movie that changed Sergei, but its theme song "Self-Ignition".
According to historical records, after listening to this song, Sergei had new ideas about freedom and the future of mankind, which changed him overnight and eventually set off a scientific revolution on the day of his inauguration.
It was a real revolution.
He wanted to overthrow the rule of the military party.
He had many supporters.
He told his supporters that the World Government was a conspiracy.
He also told everyone that all of humanity was being infiltrated.
Although he could not find direct evidence, nor could he write a complete argument formula to prove his conjecture, he could smell the breath of danger that was certain to lead to death from the fresh air.
A brutal war broke out, which lasted for nearly thirty years, and the total human population dropped sharply from 8 billion to 4 billion.
In the end, Sergei won.
Yes, his revolution was successful.
But on the day when his revolution was successful, he chose to commit suicide by drinking a bullet at the age of 95.
Before he committed suicide, he screamed in despair.
"Humanity has no chance of winning because everyone is involved. When I overthrew an infiltration, I found that I was still a part of it. Just like we live in this universe, we can only follow the rules of this universe forever."
Sure enough, after Sergei's death, the regime led by him eventually became the new world government, leading humanity forward again and to this day.
When Sergei committed suicide, he himself believed that there was actually no essential difference between the two world governments.
So although Sergei made great contributions, no one ever thanked him in their hearts.
Historians have split Sergei's merits and demerits in half.
Some people think that without him, humanity would be better.
But some people think that without him, humanity would be worse.
The two schools of thought are in dispute, and there will never be a definitive answer.
And because of the damage caused to humanity by his successful revolution, everyone believes that the people on Earth cannot withstand a second turmoil. The newly established world government is more centralized and militarized, and has become a more strict and cruel militarized society.
In Chen Feng's time, there is no such class as low-income households, but slums.
The bottom people in the slums no longer enjoy any preferential treatment, only the minimum guaranteed quality of life.
This is the real minimum guarantee, which can barely keep people from starving to death, that's all.
Even if social productivity is still in excess, this excess productivity is no longer distributed to the lower class as welfare, but is used to reward workers and warriors who have made contributions, or is invested in scientific research, military industry and other industries to a greater extent.
The competition in this era is more brutal than any timeline Chen Feng has experienced in the past.
But the path for the lower class to rise has never been closed, because the world government founded by scientist Sergei has set a supreme principle from the beginning.
Even if you know that everyone has been infiltrated, even if you still can't find out where the problem is, everyone is qualified to learn all the knowledge!
In order to ensure that his highest principles will not be shaken by future generations, Sergei even threatened future generations in his will.
He hid an explosive source deep in the Earth's core that was powerful enough to turn the Earth into space garbage.
If anyone tried to crack his explosive source, it would explode on the spot.
Once his artificial intelligence lurking in the intelligent network determines that the world government leadership has closed the space for the lower class to rise, it will still explode on the spot.
In Chen Feng's view, this is the greatest contribution made by Sergei, because his threat is really effective.
In such a special social background, all people on earth are in the most brutal competition. Once they fall behind, they can only go to the slums to eat coarse food and let others trample on their dignity.
Countless scientists, economists, generals, elite warriors, top craftsmen, artists have emerged from the slums...
As long as you have the ability and as long as you want, you can get everything you want.
If you are lazy and incompetent, even if your ancestors have accumulated wealth for you for dozens of generations, it will be useless. As long as your ability is not enough to support your status and wealth, you will also be eaten away by others in just a few decades.
The upper class and the slum class are clearly separated, but they are highly related and can penetrate and replace each other at any time.
The entire social structure is very dynamic and full of vitality.
Chen Feng felt that Sergei's achievements were almost catching up with his own.
When he committed suicide, he must have anticipated the social framework of the next few hundred years, and all of this was built on his crazy behavior.
Planting bombs on the earth and temporarily replacing one threat with another formed this deformed but effective social structure.
This operation is really outrageous, and he is indeed a crazy geek.
Chen Feng even thought that if Sergei were to do his job, he might be able to do it better.
He had no choice, otherwise he really wanted to quit.
In the early 29th century, after Watson Gaslav invented the gene fluid technology, this cruelty was interpreted to the extreme.
One-third of the "incompetent people" were deprived of the right to survive from birth.
The final result, to some extent, met the expectations of Chen Feng who left the introduction, but it was another bloody history written with more tears.
Everyone's springs are fully pulled, but the truth of the end of the world is still hidden. Everyone is numbly struggling like a machine, but they don't know why they are struggling.
After reading these historical materials, especially after seeing those tragedies, Chen Feng is not Sergei after all. He used a lot of effort to control his emotions.
He even couldn't help but look down at his hands.
If the lives of those who died in war or under the system were to be indirectly counted on his own hands, I'm afraid that Chen Feng has become a super executioner unprecedented in history.
But he finally calmed down.
The dead are gone, and only the living can talk about the qualifications to continue living.
No matter how hard the process was, and how much blood was shed, the current technological level of mankind is indeed much higher.
The Qinglong Armor, Type A-3 Loader, Vibration Knife, high-explosive bombs under the crotch, and battleship-class frigates that he had experienced last time had all appeared in history. They were all technological products that were widely used from the 28th to the 29th century, and are now obsolete.
He was busy all night and didn't sleep until he was about to meet Tang Tianxin the next day, and his mood was completely calm.
Time and fate are really wonderful things.
The inertia of history is also very strong.
Even though a thousand years of time have been almost ruined by himself and distorted beyond recognition, he can still see so many familiar faces.
I don't know if Tang Tianxin is lucky or I am lucky.
Knock on the door.
"Please come in."
"Hello, General, I am Chen Feng."
Chen Feng looked at the black and white chess pieces and Go board still on Tang Tianxin's desk, and said slowly.
