Xiaofu was dying, but he himself was unaware of it, but Chen Feng could not help being depressed.

Before setting off that day, Chen Feng delayed a little.

He asked Weixing to give Fredes the order to stay where he was.

Although Chen Feng felt that no matter what he said, this person would not understand, there were some things he couldn't help but say.

Fredes seemed to be a person who could not sit still.

After being called, he just stood there stupidly, gesturing in the air with his hands, probably designing something.

Weixing's surveillance camera projected the traces drawn by his fingertips in the air onto Chen Feng's retina in AR mode.

It was indeed the new interior cabin structure design of the Morning Breeze II.

Today, the Morning Breeze II has a hull as long as 55 kilometers, and the powertrain layout has been basically completed, which can provide a stable speed of 9.99... times the speed of light.

However, most of its interior areas are empty, and the various newly added functional units only have a workshop with nothing inside, which needs to be improved.

Every time a new function is added, not only one workshop is involved, but also different workshops must be coordinated with each other to prevent chain accidents from causing the plane to explode, and the entire ship's energy distribution system must be changed.

With the current half-baked level of technician Chen, he can barely handle the original 5,000-meter-long Morning Breeze II, but the ship's size has expanded to the current 55 kilometers, and various new functions are constantly expanding, and he is really at a loss.

The difference between the two is like that between a bamboo raft and an aircraft carrier.

Chen Feng can't do it, but Fredes can.

So in this upgrade, Fredes is the main player, with Chen Feng as a supporting role.

In the previous transformation process, it seemed that Fredes, who originally had no independent consciousness, had already considered what would happen after his death, and the design adopted was a partitioned modular design.

It doesn't matter if he fails to complete all the work before his death, or if after his death, Chen Feng cannot realize all his designs into the 55-kilometer-long super-large Morning Breeze II.

A small section of the front of the ship, which is ten kilometers long, can be separated separately and turned into a bullet-shaped ship, which is equally stable, reliable, and has excellent performance.

Xiaofu's great cause has not yet been completed, but his life has entered the countdown of the last two days. Everything is in his calculation.

Maybe he is really unwilling to accept it, so he is still busy and refuses to rest for a second.

He seems to want to complete all the design plans before he dies and leave a complete wealth to Chen Feng.

He may not accept this era and want to surpass the upper limit of twenty times the speed of light.

Xiaofu's fingers were about to mark the mark, and suddenly they stopped moving, with his fingertips hanging in the air.

His neck was weak and relaxed, his head drooped on his shoulders at a 45-degree angle, and his originally empty pupils became more scattered and out of focus.

Chen Feng knew that he was in a daze again.

The red indicator light on his wristwatch began to light up.

Chen Feng received a rapid automatic alarm, indicating that Fredes' brain was abnormally active, and the quantum storm in his brain was extremely violent, which was madly squeezing the potential of his neurons, and his lifespan was constantly shortening.

Fredes' neurons were very strange, and their quantum stability was consistent with that of young people. They were in the stage of the strongest learning ability and the sharpest thinking, but the vitality they showed was like that of an old man who was about to die. Neurons

are the cells with the worst regenerative ability in the human body, and they can hardly divide and proliferate, and their lifespan is almost the same as that of the human body.

Every time Fredes was in a daze, it was a crazy strain on his brain, which would make his brain damage worse and age.

Chen Feng wanted to save him, but he was powerless.

Chen Feng had tried to share his resuscitation factor with him, but it still couldn't solve his congenital genetic defect as a stem cell clone damaged by long-term freezing.

This is an irreversible end of life, just like Chen Feng himself can't rely on resuscitation factors to achieve immortality.

Gradually, Fredes' expression became more and more distorted, as if every cell on his face was twisting his body.

Even Chen Feng, who had perfect control over his muscles, could not make such a weird expression.

About forty minutes later, Fredes returned to normal, his head was straightened, and his fingers continued to shake, and the frequency was even faster.

Chen Feng said beside him: "Fredes."

"Come with me."

Xiaofu replied sullenly, but his hands did not stop moving.

Chen Feng: "You know you are dying, right?"

This time Fredes ignored him and became even busier.

Chen Feng talked to himself, not caring whether he could understand or not.

"Sometimes I think this world is really fucked up. We could have done something big together this time. How come you only have two days left to live?"

Chen Feng looked up at the ceiling of the armored room, "I really don't know anyone I know this time. If you die, I really don't know who I can talk to in the future. I won't really grow old alone in this timeline, right?" "

In the future...if my life span can be maintained, if there is another timeline. Uh...forget it. I probably won't have a chance to meet you again. After all, you are a clone of Sergei, right? I and others still have a future and hope. But you, we will say goodbye now, probably forever."

"Alas."

Chen Feng kept sighing.

Fredes' fingers shook faster.

Chen Feng thought that he might have understood what he said.

But he couldn't express it, so he could only seize the last minute and try to accomplish more things.

Chen Feng stopped pestering him and asked Wei Xing to let him go out to work.

The two were currently on Planet 001-7-01KX8839, the newest garbage planet created by the oldest and largest Science City No. 1 in the Seventh Star Region. It was the largest planet in the entire planetary belt, with a diameter of 43,000 kilometers.

The two had only been here for half a day, and there were still many things waiting to be discovered.

After watching Fredes enter and exit the hatch, Chen Feng turned around and returned to the command room.

He was in a bad mood, so he didn't go out to scavenge.

Anyway, at this stage, the technician knowledge he had mastered before was gradually unable to keep up with Fredes' genius pace, and he couldn't help much, so Weixing sent thirty of the most advanced intelligent robots to assist near Fredes, which could do a better job than he could.

By the way, these thirty brand new punk intelligent robots have also been modified by Freds, and their ability in engineering machinery is even stronger than Chen Feng himself.

Chen Feng curled up in the leather chair in the command room, and the projection screen in front of him was divided into two.

On the left was a picture from the sky of Freds driving the armor slowly forward, and on the right was a projection of the map of the Morning Breeze Empire filled with smoke and war.

The big network composed of the quantum information network map more than seven months ago has changed a lot now.

Before the war broke out, Weixing divided the galaxies in this star map into three major categories.

Pure white light spots are uninhabited galaxies.

More than 100,000 galaxies with Dyson membranes are marked with blue light spots.

Galaxies with enough people to settle are marked with green light spots.

Green threads represent the information flow of quantum networks.

Since the outbreak of the war, Weixing has added two more markings.

Red light spots indicate that a war is taking place in this planetary system.

Orange-yellow light spots indicate that the war on this planet has ended, and humans have been defeated and eliminated.

Chen Feng is about to lose and has already lost far more than just Fredes' life.

He has also lost many planetary systems.

After the prism fleet arrived at the Proximity system, it really implemented the troop division plan.

The dome of Proximity was briefly opened, and then extended backwards, and a hundred prismatic battleships were left inside.

The rest of the frigates, with an average of nearly 10,000 ships in a team, were divided into 100 groups and rushed to other planetary systems nearby.

The battle line would start from the core star region of humanity and spread outwards, and continue to advance.

The actions of the compound eyes basically had no tactical strategy to speak of, it was just a simple division of troops to rush forward, highlighting the crushing of technology, and defeating ten skills with one force.

As for the spherical battleships that Chen Feng personally cared about, they did not appear in the central battlefield area at all.

Chen Feng speculated that perhaps the compound eyes saw that humans were powerful this time, and the spherical battleships, as large "patrol yachts", were not as good as prismatic ships in the field of war, so they did not participate in the war at all. They may not have come, or they may have patrolled outside the Orion Arm to harvest some of the escaping Spark ships.

The war in the Proxima galaxy ended quickly.

Chen Feng truly witnessed the power of the prismatic battleships, the core war tool of the compound eyes.

Although the technological level of the Proxima civilization in this timeline is not as good as that outside, it is still stronger than the humans in the 31st century in the previous timeline.

The population of Proxima has also reached a huge number of nearly 40 billion, and almost everyone is a soldier.

But the red dot representing the Neighbor system only lasted for three days, and then it turned into orange-yellow, representing destruction. In

just three days, nearly 40 billion Neighbors fell under the gunfire of just a hundred prismatic battleships.

During these three days of war, the Neighbors used up all their wisdom and tried countless combat plans.

Battleships, huge cannons, dense bomb ambushes, planetary collisions, and even detonating stars.

It was useless. All of them were useless.

Either they couldn't hit the target, or if they did hit it, it was just like tickling, with no movement at all.

Chen Feng suddenly realized that the reason why the compound eyes had millions of prisms join together to use the grid connection to block humans last time, and continued to press forward and then use the white plasma in the grid connection to destroy everything was probably because since they were here, everyone had to do some work to make it meaningful.

The reason why he was able to control the Starship Colossus to break through the prism shield and cut a knife on its body was probably because the compound eyes were interested in him and wanted to capture him alive.

The war in the neighboring star was fierce, but the real battlefield was not in the neighboring star system, but in other star regions.

While humans are trying to observe the "small-scale" wars on neighboring planets, they are also preparing to fight against the massive fleet of tens of thousands of prism ships.

Decades ago, the military leaders of the Morning Wind Empire had developed a complete combat strategy.

Each different combat strategy can deal with different actions that the compound eyes may take.

This is the significance of the existence of star gates.

Humans first use the seventy-two star zones as large-scale war zones. Each war zone is equipped with a large number of main fleets with different characteristics, and they are on standby near each star gate for a long time.

Whether it is to organize a large-scale army for a head-on battle, or to adopt a classic guerrilla strategy, or other strategies, the Morning Wind Empire can use the star gates to quickly complete the integration and deployment of forces.

Now that the Compound Eyes have revealed their intention to divide their forces, humans immediately decided to do the opposite, first concentrating superior forces, focusing their efforts on one punch, and trying to achieve success in one battle.

The leaders of the Morning Wind Empire believe that if they can destroy a fleet, seize its wreckage for in-depth analysis, and then quickly digest the opponent's technological achievements, this war of civilizations with a strategic depth of 5,000 light years will have a chance of winning.

The Morning Wind Empire expanded such a vast territory not to enclose land, but to increase strategic depth and prolong the duration of the battle. Every extra day gained will give them a chance to seek technological explosions in the war.

Nowadays, humans can calculate the speed of a prismatic battleship in the Milky Way with relative accuracy, which is 500 to 600 times the speed of light.

This is a terrifying number that humans can only dream of but cannot reach.

No matter how imaginative scientists are, they still cannot understand why other people's ships can move freely at a speed 500 times faster than the speed of light.

According to scientists' calculations, the curvature subspace that propels along the gravitational lines can only withstand a maximum of 100 times the speed of light.

Beyond this limit, even the subspace that is more stable than three-dimensional space cannot withstand the space shock caused by the high-speed propulsion of objects, and will collapse and be destroyed.

At present, the maximum speed of hypercurvature motion of human ships is 20 times the speed of light, and the main factor restricting performance is the strength of the shield.

However, scientists are not very shocked. It is natural to lag behind in technology, and humans can make up for the gap with stargates, which is something that even compound eyes do not have.

It takes about twelve days for the prism to leave Proxima Centauri and head to the nearest prosperous planetary system.

During these twelve days, the Morning Wind Empire quickly completed the deployment of troops, organized three different levels of fleet combat power, and deployed heavy troops in the eight core star regions.

The strongest fleet is located in the Barnard system.

As the first civilized system of the same level as the Neighbor Bee, the Barnard system also has a planetary system. The initial development level of the Barnard system is second only to the Neighbor Bee.

In the past five hundred years, as the Neighbor Bee was suppressed, the Barnard system came later and now has a population of 50 billion.

In addition to developing and utilizing the original planets, the humans of the Barnard star have also built hundreds of large space stations with planetary functions.

In addition to taking advantage of its own austenite isotope 305 to produce the austenite cannon with superhuman power, the army of the Barnard system also absorbed the special resources of hundreds of planetary systems within 500 light years nearby, and even absorbed some elites from secondary civilizations, trying their best to give full play to their respective strengths and forming a cross-civilization joint fleet with humans as the absolute core.

Its own fleet is known as the strongest among all planetary fleets in the eight core areas.

After integration and expansion, the new Barnard war zone fleet has incorporated the most advanced warships, the strongest soldiers, and the most core cutting-edge technology from the eight core war zones.

The fleet has millions of space-class giant ships, hundreds of millions of large galaxy-class battleships, more than a billion Orion-class medium-sized battleships, and countless other small battleships and micro-fighters.

The total number of troops in the fleet has reached one trillion. The

current total population of humans in the Orion Arm is 3.5 trillion.

This means that on average, one out of every 35 humans in the Orion Arm will participate in the battle in the Barnard Star Fleet.

In addition to manned ships, there are also a large number of unmanned warships and small combat machines.

These equipment have a slightly lower technological content and will play a more cannon fodder role in the war.

On the surface, quantum network technology is extremely advanced nowadays, and humans seem to be able to delegate more combat tasks to intelligent machines or remotely control them, which seems to reduce personnel losses.

This seems to make sense.

In fact, it is extremely stupid.

Cosmic wars are completely different from wars that occur within the same civilization on the same planet.

No matter how the internal war is fought, at least we know what the enemy is, what they say, and how they think and communicate.

But in the wars between different intelligent civilizations, every contact is essentially a collision between two more or less different cosmic life rules.

The essence of the war between different civilizations is the "communication" of different civilizations, but this communication is more intense.

Only through "communication" can we understand each other.

Therefore, before the real fight, no one knows what their opponent is and what kind of characteristics he possesses.

If you make a wrong step, you will be in trouble.

For example, humans once discovered a secondary civilization in the Orion Arm that was born with the ability to communicate via quantum network. As soon as humans approached, their quantum network intelligent devices were taken over.

Humans have long known the power of the Compound Eyes, and they also know that Chen Feng used eight timelines to deepen his understanding of this strange enemy.

Every time, the Compound Eyes will give the sage Chen Feng a new "surprise".

No one knows where the limits of the Compound Eyes are, and whether there will be new "surprises".

Therefore, humans really dare not expand to the point of pinning their hopes of victory on the quantum network when they are enemies. What if

the other side comes up with something new, and the fleet that humans have carefully created suddenly becomes a knife for others to stab themselves, what should we do?

In addition, since our side is completely weak, hiding on the planet or living in a space station may not be really safe.

If you hide in the rear just because you are afraid of death, then you might as well not be born.

The purpose of staying in the rear is not to be greedy and afraid of death, but because of the needs of the factories and scientific research in the rear, or because you are a reserve soldier, always on standby and ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

Born in the universe, life is like grass.

Some people may never leave a planet in their entire lives, but the equipment they manufacture will cross thousands of light years and play an important role on the other side of the distant empire.

Countless individuals make up an era, but the era will always change everyone.

Each individual is both small and great in front of the infinitely vast overall civilization.

This is the new universe-level three perspectives that the Orion Arm Galaxy humans, who have seen a wider world and have a deeper understanding of the enemy, have finally formed through their continuous understanding of the spirit of salvation in the larger cocoon of thinking.

In short, the military leaders of the Morning Wind Empire have only one purpose in investing heavy troops in Barnard Star, at all costs, to establish an overwhelming numerical advantage in the war zone, strive to destroy enemy ships as quickly as possible, and capture enemy ships for disassembly and analysis.

When Chen Feng saw the troop distribution star map deduced by Weixing, he was shocked by the scene that almost filled most of the planetary system.

It really covers the sky and the earth, like a galaxy.

The clusters of human ships and war fortresses moved sideways, and could even drag the small red dwarf star Barnard away.

Natural planets even needed to build huge planetary force field shields to prevent gravitational disturbances from causing crustal plate movement and tsunamis.

Chen Feng felt the determination of mankind from this spectacular scene.

The strongest Barnard star fleet is the first-tier fleet.

There are nine second-tier fleets, which are slightly smaller in size and have 300 billion personnel.

The main task of the second-tier fleet is to test the enemy's strength as much as possible while preserving the manpower.

If there is a chance, of course, we must strive to destroy the enemy.

There are ninety third-tier fleets, each with 30 billion personnel. The main task is to preserve strength and delay the enemy's steps.

In the first round of contact warfare, humans deployed a total of 640 billion personnel.

In addition, factories in both the core star zone and the development star zone have long been fully operational, continuously producing battleships and other equipment.

In addition to continuing to struggle on the original technological route and trying to get key breakthroughs, countless scholars in various research institutes are also waiting for front-line intelligence and are ready to invest in new areas at any time.

Reserve troops are also ready to go.

At present, the total number of reserve troops in the human race is as high as 100 trillion, ranging from grassroots soldiers to middle and senior generals.

At the same time, tens of trillions of young and middle-aged people with certain talents, ranging from 20 to over 100 years old, have begun to leave their jobs and receive professional military training.

These young and middle-aged people have already received non-professional military training. They are workers in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. Now they have intensive training. If they have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, they can at least fight, even if they can't match the elite soldiers.

Finally, the plan for mass artificial training of new soldiers has already been put into practice.

The largest artificial training reserve soldiers will soon be 20 years old.

Most of these children, except for those who have shown extraordinary IQ and can be selected for other positions, have received military training since childhood. If they can go to the battlefield, they will probably not be worse than elite soldiers.

In short, humans can burst soldiers at any time and have made all preparations for a long-term war.

It looked like the scene was infinitely good, but despite the extreme preparations, the direction of this war was not optimistic.

Everything did not exceed Chen Feng's expectations.

The compound eye ridge ship showed an overwhelming technological advantage.

The compound eye's understanding of the universe's gravitational lines is far beyond that of humans.

In the human navigation system, there may be only one gravitational line ahead that can enter hypercurvature motion, but in the eyes of the compound eye, it is a tangled network.

The human marching route is always within the transportation network of the compound eye, but the compound eye can always suddenly appear from other unexpected locations.

In terms of mobility, humans lose completely.

Therefore, the powerful means carefully prepared by humans cannot hit the enemy ship at all, and even the taillights cannot be seen.

The compound eye prism used its mobility advantage and used the same trick to cut the battlefield with a grid connection. It also sent a steady stream of blade mantises into the meat grinder, and occasionally fired white beams to sweep, gradually and harmlessly wearing away the human's manpower.

Humans were also helpless against the compound eye prism's space freezing and energy shield.

In these seven months, humans suffered heavy losses and the death rate was alarming.

Chen Feng had already guessed the ending, but the process still made him extremely painful.
