Chapter 548 Other People’s Lives [3700 words]



Branna: "But..."

"No buts. I can tell you very clearly that even if you work hard for a hundred years, you can still only write a C-level master's thesis. You are wasting your life."

Branna: "This..."

"I hope you can make a movie once a year."

"Impossible! No one would agree, and I myself would not have such an absurd idea."

"Don't fool yourself. Or rather, even if you can fool yourself, you can't fool me. You have no secrets in front of me."

Branna: "Uh..."

She suddenly felt a little scared.

"Branna, at least give it a try. Just one year is fine. It only takes one year for you to prove your mistake. You have the start-up funds. You have private money, I know. I also know that the black crystal code card where you keep your private money is in the third drawer on the left side of the white closet in your bedroom."

"What! Who are you?"

Chen Feng: "You can call me Shadow Mentor. I will be responsible for your life. Even if you feel that I am forcing you, go and make a movie and try it. You have to go. Don't ask me how to shoot it, I know you have a complete plan, and you have even selected the script for the first movie."

Branna Diaz finally chose to "surrender".

She returned to the academy, packed her bags, and then took a year-long vacation.

Many people came to ask her what happened.

Blanna just smiled and said that she was just tired and wanted to go out for a walk.

This year's paper review would probably not pass, so she took a break and would do better next time.

She thought the lie was flawless, but she never thought that everyone knew her plan the next day.

Now that was good.

Blanna's social circle exploded.

Her retreat was cut off.

She gritted her teeth in hatred.

She really wanted to tie up the person behind the voice, whip him fifty times, and call him a bastard.

Unfortunately, this person seemed to have disappeared since the first contact.

Blanna had no way to call back through the other party's incoming call method, and could only communicate in a one-way manner.

But she didn't know that similar things were happening in different ways to different people in various galaxies.

All of them have one thing in common.

Their fates have been changed.

They are like chess pieces, moved from one corner of the chessboard to the other, and then transformed like a soldier crossing a river.

In 2358, the strings plucked by "Grandpa" Chen Feng burst out with loud notes for the first time.

It was Shen Fu.

He first spent two years to complete adult studies in Tianyuan Four B, successfully obtained a doctorate, and was selected to study at the Eridanus Institute.

Two years later, Shen Fu was selected to study at the Eridanus branch of the Xingfeng Institute.

In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed, and Shen Fu has completed the design and theoretical verification of the 20 times light speed hypercurved flight process.

It is said that Shen Fu got the inspiration when he watched the popular movie "The Wheel of Time" shot and produced by James Diaz in 2353.

Of course, what he should be most grateful for in completing his research is still the countless giants who built a ladder to heaven for him.

The people outside were ecstatic, but Chen Feng himself was calm and composed.

He just urged Fanxing to remind the scholars to quickly start the Mi tribe core retrieval plan, and to use the flying ability of twenty times the speed of light to bring back the Mi tribe core closest to the solar system 2,500 years ago.

In the previous timeline, the place where Chen Feng first discovered the core was located at the border of the empire, 2,000 light-years away from the solar system.

The round trip distance is 4,000 light-years in total, and with hypercurvature motion at twenty times the speed of light, it will take at least 200 years.

What's more, it is just a theoretical verification at present, and it will take at least 20 to 30 years to produce a finished product. There is no time left.

Fortunately, during the millennium from the 31st to the 41st century in the ninth timeline, humans have discovered many hiding places of the Mi tribe's cores. The

nearest one is only about 1,200 light years away from the solar system, and it only takes 120 years to go back and forth.

The core storage there reaches more than 83,000.

If the progress is fast enough, humans have the opportunity to bring it back to the solar system 2,500 years ago.

Only eighteen years later, in 2376, a total of three long-distance fleets consisting of 300,000 people set out from the Eridanus star.

The three fleets were equipped with exactly the same equipment and executed the same order, moving along three theoretically safest routes.

This mission must be successful.

...

Glenny Weiss Zheng sat on the deck of the Heartfire with a confused look on his face.

The Heartfire belongs to the Third Forward Fleet and is one of the 333 spaceships in the entire fleet.

Each different ship in the fleet has its own different functions and will play different roles in the long and long journey.

The cone-shaped Heartfire is 4,400 meters long and is equipped with three hyperwarp engines and the latest shock field composite shield.

Among the entire Third Forward Fleet, the Heartfire has the strongest maneuverability and protection performance.

According to the plan, if the Third Forward Fleet successfully retrieves the core, it will be brought back by the Heartfire.

Glennie currently serves as the artificial navigator on the Heartfire.

If the intelligent device fails, Glennie's task is to replace the intelligent computer and perform artificial navigation.

Glennie's ability is evident from the fact that he can serve as a navigator in such an important mission and also serve on the Heartfire.

He is the navigator with the highest professional skill level in the entire fleet.

But no one dares to believe it. Three years ago, he was just an unemployed vagrant wandering the streets, making a living by cheating and deceiving people under the name of psychological counseling.

His famous saying at that time was "Playing in the world, no taboos."

As a super waste who was kicked out of school at a young age and whose self-control was labeled as hopeless E-level, Glenny's life value can only be evaluated as rich and diverse.

But a prison disaster three years ago completely changed his fate.

No one knows which link went wrong, and what he did was exposed.

He just took advantage of a little loophole and took more social resources.

He thought he would be sentenced to community service for a few years at most.

In order to make himself safer, he spent a lot of effort studying the law.

Glennie is such a peculiar person. In order to get the freedom to exceed his authority, he actually has self-discipline.

Unexpectedly, he was made an example and sentenced to life imprisonment.

He almost collapsed.

The manager told him that the human resources management department had done a new test on him and believed that he had the talent of a navigator. He was required to become an S-class curvature navigator, so that he would be eligible to serve in the army to make up for the "loss" he caused.

Glennie was so angry that he almost committed suicide on the spot.

The basic requirement to become a curvature navigator is to first obtain a master's degree in three disciplines: space navigation, basic physics, and history of cosmic civilization.

Based on his assessed potential, the three disciplines require an average of twenty to thirty years of study for each discipline.

After finishing his studies, he was still only a C-class navigator.

How is this different from lifelong imprisonment?

When he was most desperate, he heard a voice.

Then he had a dream. He

dreamed of his "past life".

After waking up, he was extremely surprised to find that he had inherited the memory of his past life.

He spent three years digesting the "past life memory".

The next thing was a matter of course. In order to avoid actually performing his service, he chose to sign up to join the first batch of hypercurved fleets that were being formed.

He believed that humans had just mastered hypercurved flight, and it would take at least several decades for the fleet being formed to take shape. The first mission would probably be one or two hundred years later.

By that time, the flowers would have faded, and he had almost enjoyed his life.

But he never expected that a week after he reported to the fleet, the Third Forward Fleet would be launched.

Glennie couldn't help but feel sad for his tragic fate.

What did I do wrong?

Why do you treat me like this?

Ah, why is this?

I clearly listened to that person's advice and became the "best version of myself", but why should I sign up for the Third Forward Fleet?

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost.

Glennie feels this way now.

He doesn't know that he is actually Chen Feng's new experimental subject.

So far, every decision he has made, every thought he has, is derived from the calculation of mechanized thinking.

Of course, this also includes his current regret.

Chen Feng wanted to try whether the Reshaper transformed by "Song of the World" could break through the limitations of the machine under the drive of the strong emotions that should belong to humans.

Three years passed unknowingly.

During these three years, Glennie was in pain and torture every day.

In the entire fleet, he was probably the one who was idle the most all day long.

He was not like others. When he was not busy, he would calm down and learn something. Apart from being idle, he would drag others to play cards and muddle through the days.

"Glennie, when can you learn to be a normal person?"

In the ship's bar full of lights and wine, a blonde woman was looking at the sloppy man in front of her with a look of pity for his misfortune and anger at his lack of struggle.

I don't know what the captain was crazy about, he actually agreed to Glennie's request to change the bar into the style of the nightclub in the 21st century, which made her quite uncomfortable.

"Bonnie, take care of yourself, I have my own plans."

Glennie stretched lazily, rubbed her eyes, and said lazily.

Bonnie Westford glared at the other party fiercely, "It's so unlucky, why should I work with someone like you. Your plan is to keep messing around until we return empty-handed, or die on Planet K, right?"

Planet K is the code name given by Chen Feng to the red giant star that contains more than 80,000 Mi Clan cores.

At present, except for the captain and the navigator, everyone else only knows Planet K, but does not know the specific location.

Greene chuckled and said, "Don't say such sad words. We will surely return with glory under the guidance of the great sage."

"Go away! The original words of the sage are that no one can protect him, and everyone can only rely on themselves."

Greene spread his hands, "Yes, am I not living the way I feel comfortable with now?"

"You..."

On this day, Greene lost his girlfriend, who he had been with for only two years, and his partner.

He didn't really care.

Bonnie chose him at the beginning, probably because he was an S-class navigator.

This was not the love he wanted, but just a matter of mutual need.

It's just that as time goes by, people get to know each other better and better, and some flaws will be constantly magnified, and eventually they will go their separate ways.

In the following days, Bonnie Westford's rating as a worker in the field of mechanical excavation was getting higher and higher.

A year later, the crystal of the two was born on the ship through artificial cultivation.

Although with the help of artificial intelligence, both parents did not need to ask, but Bonnie still insisted on seeing her son at least once every seven days, and reluctantly asked Greene to have a parent-child activity for the three of them during a long journey.

At first, Greene was willing to go, but later he gradually became impatient and refused to show up.

Bonnie was rejected by him several times and roared angrily, "Then little James and I will treat you as dead!"

Greene took a sip of the brandy in the glass lightly, "When I boarded this ship, the real me was already dead. Before the ancient philosophers, there were great ancient people who once said, 'I would rather die than be without freedom.' I choose to believe this."

You were about to collapse, "Why should we hand over the lives of tens of thousands of people on the entire ship to a bastard navigator like you!"

Greene spread his hands: "Who knows? Don't worry, Lord Stars is in control of everything. It's not my turn to play, okay?"

In 2431, fifty-five years after the departure, the First Forward Fleet encountered a rare cosmic quantum virus on its way.

In the gravitational curvature metaspace, all the ships collapsed in an instant.

Compared with the human ships in the previous timeline, although these three fleets have the same hypercurved flight capabilities, the materials and shield performance of the ships are still not comparable to the battleships in the previous timeline.

Hypercurved motion was born at least a hundred years earlier than the normal time.

Human space travel technology is a bit top-heavy.

This is the crisis that the three fleets have to face, and why they were sent out at once.

The destruction of the first fleet brought tremendous pressure to the second and third fleets.
