At this time, the human quantum information monitoring network had just been rebuilt and was being debugged, and could only scan a range of one-third of a light year.

When the whereabouts of this prism fleet were 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 form in the universe early, and then jumped forward piece by piece along the curvature gravity line network. This

jump can be named a medium-range fold. Each jump advances the distance of about 0.005 light years, and an average of one jump per second.

So the prism fleet arrived at the edge of the solar dome in about 50 seconds.

During these 50 seconds, Chen Feng quickly readjusted to the control and performance of the Starship Colossus while thinking a lot in his mind.

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

He is a human after all, not a machine.

He no longer needs to emphasize to himself how determined the Compound Eyes civilization is to destroy the Earth civilization.

His hatred initially came from confusion, then took root in his understanding of the rules of the universe, and now, he has become somewhat calm.

Chen Feng subconsciously recalled the argument that he had discussed with Zhong Lei about poisonous ants biting elephants to death.

Now he has some new ideas.

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

Then the earth's ecological environment represents the entire universe.

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

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

It is ants and crickets, collectively called ants.

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

Those widely circulated and long-standing ancient proverbs and idioms are proof of this.

Ants still try to survive.

A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by ants.

I wish to devote my life to the power of ants and open the hearts of students.

The way is unpredictable and there is no rest; the sky cannot be planned, and people are ants.

Ants shake the iron pillars.

Many ants bite elephants to death.

How light is the life of ants.

Ants are too old to be forgiven, their tears are like flying snow, wetting their clothes

in vain. And so on and so forth.

Even in the 21st century, when online literature is on the rise and humans can even see water bears and H39 under a microscope, online writers always like to use the sentence structure of "Little ants, how dare you..."

Chen Feng and Zhong Lei's discussion also revolves around ants.

Ants are both humans' self-mockery and a kind of infinite and far-reaching yearning.

In these ancient sayings, there is both caution, admiration, and contempt.

Why do literati always have a problem with ants?

Of course, it is not because they have nothing to do, but because ants are tiny and fragile, yet they can really cause some trouble to humans.

Humans and other large creatures that seem to be invincible will benefit both ants and those invisible microorganisms after death.

Because human eyes cannot see the appearance of microorganisms gnawing at corpses, they do not feel disgusted, but if they see a group of ants, flies and the like covering a corpse, they will feel disgusted, fearful and full of anger.

However, should ants not have the right to survive on Earth?

Of course they should.

They are still part of the ecological cycle of the Earth's "universe".

Moreover, although ants are weak and can be easily crushed to death by anyone, over the past tens of millions of years, no matter how extensive the influence of humans is, the number of ant species has not decreased significantly. They are still everywhere and live well.

Obviously, humans, elephants, tigers, anteaters, and even a dog can cause a devastating disaster to the ant population, not to mention the real doomsday such as heavy rain and forest fires. The earth's environment should be full of dangers for ants, but the fact is that the vast majority of ants can live their lives safely.

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

The earliest ant population on Earth can even be traced back to 100 million years ago.

During these hundreds of millions of years, one after another seemingly powerful large species have died out, but ants, a small and strong species, still stand on the earth in huge numbers.

So, who is more vulnerable?

Why are small and fragile ants so stubborn? Is

it just because of their huge number base?

Obviously not, the advantage of ants lies in their super high reproductive capacity and "short" lifespan.

Yes, a 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.

Because of the difference in sub-genus species, the lifespan of worker ants ranges from a few days to a few years.

Most worker ants have a life span of about ten weeks, a little over two months.

The "long" life of ants is just a blink of an eye for humans and large animals.

Ants have a short life span, and they die before they encounter a disaster and become an unjustly killed ghost.

Therefore, most ants really live a happy and peaceful life, and they are really not afraid of death.

However, the earth cannot represent the universe, and the ratio of the earth to the universe is far greater than that of ants to the earth.

The status of humans in the universe is not even one billionth of that of ants to the earth.

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

Ants will only be accidentally stepped on by large creatures under extremely low probability, or unfortunately encounter a naughty child who likes to play with water or fire, and suffer a tragic death.

If the earth is also regarded as an isolated ant, then human civilization is also in a 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, and then the angry child turns his eyes from his IPAD to the hardworking ants lined up in a row, the safety factor of the ant nest will drop sharply, and the risk factor will rush to the threshold.

Or, let's talk about the situation from a random and accidental perspective. The ants are just passing by in groups in the courtyard, and a curious child happens to see them.

The moment they are stared at, the ant's safe house is broken, and replaced by absolute danger, and there is no room for resistance.

Naughty human children will just pick up a tap and pour water into the ant nest just for fun.

The higher civilization destroys the lower civilization, without any reason, just for fun.

If you have to find a reason, you can say that the child is worried about his dessert, or that the ants are eating the dead body of a butterfly that he thinks is beautiful.

Or, if the child had a nightmare last night, dreaming that he was eaten by a swarm of crazy ants after his death.

And these ants also appeared in anthropomorphic form in his nightmare, gnawing meat while making a haunting laugh.

It is not difficult to guess the direction of the next story.

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

humans are facing now is "angry children".

The solar dome is the excavator that the angry kid uses to dig the soil. With one shovel, the ant nest is dug up by the roots and isolated from the earth, becoming a fish in a jar and a fish in a bottle.

The spherical battleship is the first drop of water dripping from the huge faucet in the hand of the angry kid.

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

Now Chen Feng has turned himself into a fire, ignited the flame of civilization, and evaporated 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, and this stinky kid also has some knowledge of biology and knows that a drop of water cannot drown all the ants in the ant nest.

So now the angry kid passed the tap over and opened the gate to release the water, which was still boiling water.

The millions of prismatic battleships were the boiling water rushing towards the ants, leaving no chance of life.

At this moment, when he understood this truth, Chen Feng felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

He was sad and optimistic.

He had to accept his fate.

It was time to give up the fantasy, I really couldn't win this time.

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

Unfortunately, there are none.

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

We are so lonely and insignificant.

Everything is a foregone conclusion.

Since human civilization lagged behind for countless years and passed the ape-man stage, when it was born on Earth, it was destined to be in today's situation.

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

In this cosmic race involving countless civilizations, the Earthlings have fallen behind by too many years.

Even if the next race is still long, the pioneers in front will throw unavoidable landmines along the way, and it will be futile for the Earthlings to catch up.

Chen Feng also has a new understanding of fate.

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

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

This may happen in the 21st century, or in the 25th century, or even in the 35th century.

Unless the earthlings give up their potential, the fate of war is inevitable.

But how can this potential be given up?

Regardless of whether you want to or not, it is impossible to do it.

Unless you take the initiative to go to extinction, how can human beings not move forward?

On the road to progress, the earth civilization will inevitably be forced or actively participate in the cruel competition of the universe.

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

But if humanity keeps moving forward, it will certainly encounter an extremely powerful and irresistible malicious civilization someday.

Even if human civilization is stronger than the compound eyes by then, it may not be useful.

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

Of course, Chen Feng is not convinced because he thinks that when the earthlings are targeted, they are too weak and their risk resistance is too low. They are doomed to be destroyed by just a simple gaze from others.

The enemy came too early.

Others did not give them a chance to fight fair.

It's like two swordsmen fighting. The weaker swordsman has been training hard for decades and is ready to fight. The stronger swordsman suddenly pulls out an AWP.

You are stronger and have a sure win, but you still bring a hot weapon.

How despicable!

You may think it is natural from your perspective, but that does not stop me from being unwilling.

The fleet of prismatic battleships finally approached gradually and stopped abruptly in front.

The front end of the enemy ship's spike was facing the inside of the solar dome.

Then, millions of prismatic battleships, like oranges being split open, opened a slight crack in the middle, and one after another of the blade mantises floated out.

At the same time, the top of the prismatic battleship suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.

The detection equipment showed that a very high energy level reaction was taking place there.

The ultra-high-power "Song of the Other World" suddenly sounded in the solar system.

One particle bomb after another is brewing at a very fast speed.

The space in 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 had suddenly increased by a million times.

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

It is still a familiar taste. As soon as the compound eyes arrived, they took out terrible means that were enough to crush humans.

The dispute that occurred in the spherical battleship before may be due to this.

If the spherical battleship waits for this batch of real prismatic battleships, then humans will naturally have no power to resist.

But perhaps it was because the real controller of the spherical battleship, the original body of the fifty-five compound eyes, was eager for credit and arrogant, firmly believed that they could kill all humans with forty blade mantises, so they acted rashly and ended up being annihilated.

Of course, the compound eyes that made the decision also knew that even if it died, it would not affect the overall situation, anyway, there were still people behind it.

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

He gritted his teeth, with fire in his pupils.

Forget it.

This time I accept the fate of extinction.

But the ancients said that ants still live in disgrace.

I know I am an ant, but I don't accept the fate of closing my eyes and waiting for death!

I'll let you taste the sting on your finger, and then the burning pain from my poison!

Chen Feng began to concentrate, perfectly connecting his brain thinking with the Star Charge Colossus.

He tried to move his fingers.

The Star Charge Colossus's fingers, which were nearly one kilometer long, bent slightly, and clenched the two unified force-cutting battle blades in its hands.

The colossus' chest 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 put into the tumor ball engine.

The speakers of nearby warships and fighter planes were affected by the radiation, and a burst of piercing background noise suddenly sounded.

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

At this time, behind him, the scientific research space station, engineering ship, medical ship and other functional units are retreating quickly, and the battleships and combat armor are still quickly preparing the formation.

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

Nowadays, humans have rich experience in fighting particle bombs.

When the battleships form a formation, they no longer stay still, but spread out. Large battleships keep a distance of more than 300 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 battleships and small combat units to complete rapid repositioning.

Outside, after tens of millions of blade mantises flew out one after another, the array of prismatic battleships outside the solar dome changed again.

The prismatic battleships no longer gathered together, but began to disperse in all directions in a medium-range folding manner.

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

The airspace where the human fleet was concentrated was covered by countless floating "wisp" bombs.

The situation was similar on the escape fleet side.

Fortunately, the spark ship and the germ ship were specially strengthened in terms of power and shield.

Past experience also played a considerable role in helping, and the overall casualties of the human race were not great.

What really kills humans is that combat units are inexplicably "eaten" by some undetectable dark black groups during the relocation process.

At the same time, except for the galactic humans whose awakening level has been raised to more than 35%, the thinking patterns of most people begin to change invisibly.

The penetration and influence of the ultra-high-power "Song of the World" are so strong that it is equivalent to putting everyone in a logical thinking incubator dedicated to the manufacture of particle bombs.

Although "Song of the World" can only change the thinking mode and will not fundamentally distort people's three views, when the driver's thinking becomes rigid and rigid, the ability to change direction loses randomness, making it easier to be predicted by particle bombs, and the rate of casualties accelerates sharply.

Chen Feng had no choice.

He was a little overwhelmed.

The Starship Colossus was highly resistant to particle bombs, but if it was dropped inside and detonated, the consequences would be unpredictable, so he also had to perform large-scale circling maneuvers in the state of curvature motion.

A few dozen seconds later, the prismatic battleships outside were completely transformed.

This formation was a little confusing to Chen Feng.

Millions of prismatic battleships were evenly distributed outside the solar dome, and the distance between them was highly consistent.

The strong white light on the top of the prismatic battleship was not a heavy artillery, but it branched out from the top of the battleship like a tree root, spreading out horizontally, turning into a thick arc of electric light that rushed forward, and then connected with another white electric light from another battleship.

It didn't take long before these white lights on the top of the prismatic battleships connected in pairs, forming a new large net outside the solar dome.

From time to time, a faint light rippled between the grids of the large net, swallowing and spitting out tiny electric lights.

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

technical department analyzed that the electric flash chain network was the proprietary technology that the compound eyes mastered.

The purpose of the other party's actions was to prepare to take over the solar dome and then use their own technology to achieve perfect suppression.

Sure enough, after the chain network was formed, the solar dome began to flash 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 calmly: "Everyone, every second we hold on, we can collect one more second of intelligence for Chen Feng. Soldiers, scholars, workers, for yourselves, for the future, for the qualification to live freely under the starry sky one day, for seeing what the universe is like, hold your weapons steady! Fight to the last moment!"

The solar dome disappeared!

Chen Feng, who was performing a small-scale random maneuver, suddenly turned around and rushed towards the nearest prismatic battleship in the universe along a broken line.

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

After losing Fanxing, Tang Tianxin could no longer perfectly control the battleships at both the macro and micro levels. She could only re-divide the fleet into eight integrated new corps, and then give relatively flexible orders to the commanders of each corps.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng rushed to a prismatic battleship less than 3,000 kilometers in front of it, but he did not rush in.

During the charge, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and a warning sign suddenly appeared. After making several changes of direction in succession, he pulled away again, and then reviewed the combat report. He realized that he had walked through the gates of hell.

It turned out that on his way forward, that is, the distance between the solar dome and the enemy ship formation, it was already filled with heavy, overlapping dark black masses.

These dark black masses have no photoelectric effect, nor do they release gravity to the outside. They must be a unique use of some kind of dark matter.

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

When he was changing direction, there was a thick white electric arc chasing him behind him.

If he took one more step forward, he would die, and if he was a little slower, he would still die.

When escaping, he left some boa contraptions in place, and at the same time launched a lot of live missiles.

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

The boa contraptions he left in place were hooked by the electric arcs, and they melted and shattered directly. They could not be detonated at all, and turned into a ball of flame and burned on their own.

The missiles he fired at the enemy ship were hit by the branch-like electric arcs that were suddenly set up on the top of the enemy ship, and they melted and disintegrated into extremely small particles on the spot, and then turned into a ball of fire.

These particles were protons and neutrons.

As for the missiles fired at the grid holes, they were not much better.

When passing through the horizontal plane of the holes, a strand of fine electric arc swept past, and these missiles also broke into powder and flew away like fireworks.

The reason why Chen Feng retreated was because he found that the prismatic battleships that formed the battle formation were still moving forward in coordination at 0.5 times the speed of light.

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

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

Humanity can only keep retreating until it has its back against the sun, with no way to retreat.

"Chen Feng, we have two choices now. First, retreat and try to hold out for a few more days. Second, move forward and focus on the same grid to see if we can escape. Every escape is a

success." Chen Feng thought for a while, "The purpose of the first option is to survive for a few more days, but we lose the opportunity to explore the enemy's methods."

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

Chen Feng nodded in the air, "I will try 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: "New intelligence! Two unidentified fleets are approaching the solar system!"

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

At the same time, she turned on the long-range projection.

After a moment, her eyes froze.

Chen Feng also stared at the projection blankly, his head buzzing.

The image of the starry sky projection has been updated.

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

The spaceships of this fleet are neatly arranged, all with upper and lower elliptical wheels, and a combination in the middle where the command room structure can be seen.

Each spaceship 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 wheels are another development direction of curvature flight technology that has been verified to be theoretically feasible.

This fleet that suddenly appeared had traveled here at exactly twice the speed of light before suddenly slowing down.

The entire fleet is composed of 80 million identical twin-wheeled spaceships.

At the other end of the solar system, there is another huge fleet composed of 50 million triangular geometric battleships.

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

But the battlefield intelligence officers had quickly provided two pictures.

Both pictures were painted on all the twin-wheeled battleships and triangular battleships.

One picture was a bright red flag with 56 stars, and the other picture was the emblem of the United Nations that Chen Feng was very familiar with.

Two solemn voices suddenly rang out in the human communication channel.

"Peng Zhongyun, the commander-in-chief of the Bilin Star Fleet, reports to the home planet Earth!"

"Gallen Yabliel, the commander of the Barnadelli Star Fleet, reports to the home planet Earth!"

"We're back!"

Chen Feng clenched his fists, unable to control his emotions, but the next second he became extremely angry.

He roared, "You bastards! Didn't I tell you never to look back?"

No one expected that at this last moment, these two reinforcements that were totally unplanned would arrive.

More than five hundred years ago, countless colonies died halfway, but humans still successfully established two colonies in the Beelin Star and the Barnard Star System.

Now the "wanderers" in these two colonies broke the oath they made five hundred and forty years ago and arrived at the battlefield almost at the same time at this decisive moment.

Their concept of time seemed to be deviated, and they were seventeen hours and eight minutes late, but they finally arrived.

Peng Zhongyun and Galen looked at the image of Chen Feng 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, general who looks exactly like the ancient sage Chen Feng, we must and can only participate in this war. Unless we can wipe out the army of the compound eyes here today, there will be no peace in the Milky Way and mankind will have no way out."

Galen said again: "I'm sorry, we really can't turn a blind eye. The Milky Way is infinitely large for us, but for the compound eyes, it only takes a thousand years to complete a patrol. We can't stay out of it. If the mother planet is destroyed, it will naturally be our turn next."

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, "So So you decided to mobilize your forces to return to the solar system and fight it several years ago?"

Galen: "Yes."

Peng Zhongyun: "In fact, the solar system barrier has now covered the sky above the neighboring galaxies."

Galen: "The next one is Barnard Star."

Peng Zhongyun: "Unless we can go further and leave the Milky Way to the extragalactic galaxies, we have no choice. In the past five hundred years, our two major colonies have had more or less contact with some other civilizations in the Milky Way. It can be confirmed that this fleet is the entire military force of the Compound Eye civilization in the Milky Way."

After a moment, Chen Feng understood a lot of meanings.

He adjusted his body slightly and turned his head to look at the array of prismatic battleships in front of him. "That's fine. Whether it succeeds or not, let's kill him swiftly."

The three commanders, Tang Tianxin, Jia Lun, and Peng Zhongyun, gave orders almost at the same time.

"All-out attack!"

"Leave no reserve! Charge!"

"Forward!"
