Half a day later, Glennie appeared in Captain Will's office.

He looked a little haggard.

But Captain Will felt that this man had a bit more anger.

"Glennie, what do you want to talk to me about? I'm very busy now, so please make it short."

Captain Will didn't like Glennie.

He had high hopes for this S-class navigator, but after decades, he only saw this man doing nothing all day long, and all his hopes were worn out.

Now is a time of trouble, and Captain Will is also very busy, so he doesn't really want to deal with Glennie, the "notorious" scoundrel.

He even wanted to remove this man from the position of chief navigator.

It's a pity that every report Will submitted was inexplicably rejected.

The Operations Command in Eridanus only said that they had other important arrangements for Glennie.

Seeing Captain Will's impatient look, Glennie organized his words a little and was about to speak.

But Will interrupted him again, "The personnel department just reported to me that you attended Bonnie Westford's funeral."

"Yes, Captain Will."

Glennie nodded.

"Everyone thinks that even if 90 percent of people will fall on the road ahead, people as persistent as Ms. Westford should be one of the ones who persevere to the end. Now she will give up her life easily, and you are the culprit."

Glenny did not deny it, "Yes, I know."

"You look as if you don't feel guilty at all?"

Glenny smiled, "Just keep the guilt in your heart. The living always have to carry something left by the deceased in order to have the strength to move forward, right?"

Captain Will: "Huh?"

Glenny shrugged, still looking as cynical as before, but with something else.

He said, "Not all sad things have to be shown on your face for people to see easily. The ancients once said that there is no easy world for adults. You just don't feel sad when you see me."

Will wondered, "Really? But is there such a sentence in the collection of famous quotes by the ancients? Why don't I know it?"

"The ancients said this in the fifth line of the first paragraph of the first chapter of "Feng Lei"."

"Really? Haha, you have a really good memory. But that's just a fabricated story."

"When Liucard wrote this book, the ancients was still alive, so he must have read it personally. He didn't deny it, so this can be regarded as his original words."

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Glennie had confessed, Captain Will's attitude suddenly improved a lot.

Glennie: "The atmosphere on the Heartfire is very bad right now."

"I know this much better than you do. Do you have any advice?"

Captain Will became interested.

An ordinary navigator only needs to remember the star map and quickly calculate the trajectory of the gravity network.

But a top navigator should also have the ability to work with the captain to lead the crew out of desperate situations under any circumstances.

Whether it is a natural disaster, the fog of war, or the chaos from the human heart, it can be called a desperate situation.

Now it is.

Glennie didn't say much, just took out a handwritten document from his arms, "Here it is."

Will lowered his head to read it, then asked, "Do you think this is okay?"

Glennie nodded, "Yes."

Will took off his hat and ruffled his sparse hair, "Let me think about it. This is a very risky idea. If everything develops as you hope, it will be great. But if things go the wrong way, This will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and everything will be irreversible."

Glennie shook his head, "Captain Will, please trust the judgment of an S-class navigator. The crisis substitution method is the best and only option at present. Please also believe in the will of mankind. Since the birth of the ancient philosopher, the will of mankind has never disappointed anyone. Belief will never collapse from our generation."

"Once our experiment on the Heartfire is successful, our experience can be promoted throughout the Third Fleet. Then the Third Fleet will be able to reach Planet K smoothly. Eventually, we will complete our mission and return to our home solar system. We will become heroes of mankind!"

"Even if I'm wrong, it doesn't matter. You've seen that the crew's suicide tendency has become stronger recently, and more and more people are giving up their lives. Since the result of doing nothing is still destruction, we might as well give it a try. Either we have nothing, or the dealer takes it all!"

Captain Will used to feel overwhelmed every time he heard Glennie's gambling terms, but now he has an inexplicable sense of trust.

Glennie has changed.

His tone was filled with strong confidence and an appeal that could not be described in words. After

considering for a full fifteen minutes, Captain Will gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let's do it! Either we are all finished, or we take everything!"

Six hours later, a piece of "bad news" was announced to the senior management of the Heartfire.

One day later, all artificial intelligence auxiliary systems on the Heartfire will be shut down, retaining only basic communication functions.

Reason, no reason.

Will only explained to the outside world that this was due to force majeure, suspected to be similar to the quantum virus encountered by the First Fleet before. The cause is currently being investigated, but has not been found yet.

In order to prevent the Heartfire from disintegrating on its own like the First Fleet's spaceships, the command decided to proactively shut down the intelligent program and switch all posts to manual mode.

No matter what your current status is, your work efficiency can only reach a few percent of the usual level. You think you can go up or not, you have to go up.

Now the already anxious people are in a mess.

The word "gloomy" is not enough to describe the current situation. It is clearly waiting for death.

Don't be kidding!

Everyone's condition is not good to begin with. Are you going to die?

It's not impossible to force it, but any position in space travel is fine, but the navigator must use artificial intelligence navigation to maintain accuracy.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the human navigator will not be replaced.

The position of navigator is dispensable at certain times, but too important at other times.

But look at who our chief navigator is?

Glenny, this cheating thing.

Is there really hope for our lives?

The mediators and psychological intervention experts are so busy that they are confused.

What's worse, the psychological intervention experts seem to have problems.

Looking at the noisy crowd outside, Will also lost confidence and went to Glenny again.

Glennie asked him back, "It's already been done, it's like spilled water, can it be recovered? If you change your mind now, it will only make things more chaotic. Wait, you will know in three days."

The next day, everyone went to work in anxiety.

The average work efficiency value of manual review was 17%, which was shockingly low.

But in the attendance evaluation announcement that day, there was a person whose work efficiency value score shocked countless people.

Glennie.

100%.

Yes, 100% is something that no one can achieve under normal circumstances.

But people think he should be lucky to have 5%.

Someone asked the assessment team if there was any problem.

The assessment team just played a video expressionlessly.

The content of the video was exactly Glennie's work status.

In the picture, he stood on the control console of the navigation cabin with his hands behind his back, and gave orders one after another to dozens of assistants at a very fast speed.

The scope of the orders was extremely wide, involving many aspects such as curvature coordinates, bubble layer stability, engine conditions, and spacecraft cabin stability.

His orders were extremely precise, with an overflow rate of only 2%.

Under his efficient command, the average efficiency value of the navigation team was as high as 80%, and people were squeezed so hard that they had no time or energy to think about the "future".

The assessment team finally spoke.

"What you saw was the picture of Glenny after he worked continuously for sixteen hours. After the filming was over, he continued to work for two hours before taking a break. He set his working hours to work eighteen hours in every twenty-four hours and rest for only six hours."

Hiss...

People were stunned.

In order to maintain working status and prevent mistakes, the original shift time on the Heartfire was an eight-hour work system.

But this guy worked for 18 hours without a break, and his working status maintained a 100% efficiency value for a long time.

Is this the ability of an S-class navigator?

But some people said that he had seen S-class navigators, but they were not like this.

Soon, Captain Will officially stamped Glenny's level.

He said that Glenny's command efficiency was several times that of an ordinary S-class navigator.

It turns out that our navigator is of such skill!

Silently, people regained their confidence.

Actions are always more effective than words.

Time passed by little by little, and just as Glennie said at the beginning, three days later, everything returned to peace.

After another seven days, the Heartfire, which was fully manually operated, recovered to its previous operating level and even improved.

At this time, the originally impetuous people's hearts had gradually settled down.

Glennie's judgment was completely correct.

The reason why people felt panic and nervous before was that they didn't know what dangers and difficulties they would encounter.

The greatest fear comes from the unknown.

But now that the unknown has become known and has been calmly dealt with in the past, the fear will naturally disappear.

Before long, Will's strategy was widely implemented throughout the Third Fleet.

With the successful precedent of the Heartfire, the Third Fleet regained its peace after months of panic.

...

Fanxing: "This guy did a good job. After he dies, it seems that we can also take over his thoughts and train him to be your assistant."

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes. When they return to the solar system, let Glennie leave the solar system as soon as possible and return to Eridanus. Don't be locked up in it."

Fanxing: "Yeah."

The birth of Glennie Weiss Zheng, the first person who relied on independent will to suppress the mechanized effects of "Song of the World", marked that "Song of the World" had completely become a tool of mankind.

Clearer than any previous era.

In 2498, the Heartfire and the Third Forward Fleet, which had nearly half of the remaining spaceships, returned to the Solar System and brought back more than 83,000 Mi cores.

At this time, the size of the Empire had reached the level of the end of the 29th century in the previous timeline.

It was only two short years before the Dome descended on the Solar System.
