"Your stupidity really amazes me."

When Tong Ling was about to drop her finger, a rebuke suddenly sounded in her mind, interrupting her movements.

She was stunned at first, and then quickly asked in her mind: "Brother T? Instructor Long?"

Chen Feng did not change his voice this time, using his original voice, which was between T100 and Instructor Long, which made Tong Ling a little unpredictable.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is your stupidity. Since the shielding field has taken effect, you have obviously controlled the situation. The battle has just started. But look at what you are thinking?"

"Are you ready to die heroically? Do you think this is glorious? Bah! This is stupid! Stupid to the extreme is evil!"

Chen Feng scolded Tong Ling ten times in a second, making her head buzz.

"But we are trying to avoid exposing the fleet, this is the safest way..."

"Safety bullshit! You call giving up before the fight safe? The real battle hasn't even started, but you're already thinking about dying in battle and being famous after death. Is that honorable? That's cowardice, irresponsibility, not courage!" "This

is just the first unexpected situation the fleet has encountered in hundreds of years of sailing, and we have to use the tactic of cutting off the gecko's tail? How many tails can we cut off along the way?" "If we keep

throwing away tails along the way, even the last peak combat power that has experienced the test of the battlefield can't be preserved. When the fleet arrives at Yinxin, how many old, weak, and disabled people will be left?"

"Whole-brain connection training can indeed make you close to top fighters in terms of skills, but skills are not equal to abilities, they are only potential! Potential that is not converted into the blood of the enemy is meaningless."

"You are an expeditionary force that has gathered nearly half of the elite of all mankind! In order to train you, all of humanity has exhausted their wisdom and consumed countless huge resources. Do you really think that after you die, someone can easily replace you and be your successor?"

"Wrong, you are all wrong. Don't dream! The gap between the so-called S-class fighters who are newly born in the fleet and you is unimaginable! I have to spend energy to create a new training plan for them! It may not allow them to reach your level."

"Are you really prepared for the difficulty of the fleet's mission? Do you really think that you can destroy the base of the Compound Eyes in the Silver Center with just a few kittens?"

"The so-called pursuit of stability should be aimed at pursuing the success rate of the mission, not just reaching the destination. All the pursuit of stability that does not take the ultimate goal as the highest purpose is nonsense."

"And..."

In just three seconds, Tong Ling read the large amount of information transmitted by Chen Feng.

Chen Feng said a lot and cursed a lot.

But Tong Ling extracted the central idea that Chen Feng wanted to express from a lot of disruptive scolding, which was the value of personal desire to survive.

Chen Feng told Tong Ling that only when every soldier with top potential exerts his desire to survive to the extreme can he use the individual to drive the collective and give the civilization's overall military capability the greatest breakthrough.

Every soldier should keep in mind that his own value is never only in the present, and he should always think about the future.

As long as people are alive, everything is possible.

Only when people are alive can they create new possibilities!

This does not mean that people should learn to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but that people should learn to re-examine the value of their own lives.

Only when you are really helpless and have to face death, should you find the courage to sacrifice.

At other times, if there is a one in a million chance, you should fight for it, do everything to the extreme, squeeze your own value to the extreme, find the tiny hope hidden in the dark from the seemingly hopeless situation, hold it tightly in your palm, and then pull it with all your strength.

Hope is like an iceberg on the earth, it looks small, but under the water it hides a treasure that can turn the world around.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Feng asked at last.

Tong Ling nodded, "Yes. We should take our lives more seriously, control risks better, and see the relationship between adventure and stability more dialectically. Sometimes the essence of adventure is to seek stability."

"Yes."

Chen Feng finally grinned, "Go ahead."

Tong Ling rejected the applications of other captains.

Her move was like a stone that caused a thousand waves.

However, this delayed a few seconds and there was no time to argue.

Two completely different reports were sent to Qin Guang at the same time.

One was from other captains, requiring the fleet to evacuate immediately.

The other was from Tong Ling, hoping that the fleet would wait for more than thirty seconds according to the predetermined plan.

The problem was thrown in front of Qin Guang.

Qin Guang was about to adopt the proposals of other captains according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, but a top-level instruction message suddenly popped up in his staff system.

This text message seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation of the fleet. It analyzed the current thinking mode of the human army from the perspective of the commander.

In the continuous entanglement with the compound eyes, the current military is accustomed to being at a disadvantage on the surface, but in fact they have the advantage of technological crushing and can change the situation of the war at any time.

For a long time, when facing the enemy's cannon fodder army, humans have a sense of calmness and arrogance have quietly grown.

This kind of arrogance does not mean underestimating the enemy, but whenever a key decision needs to be made, decision-makers will habitually think in a safer direction.

When encountering a new type of enemy that they have never seen before, people will always subconsciously think that this is just a temporary backwardness. As long as they continue to pile up manpower and equipment, continue to consume resources, and sacrifice some people in exchange for information, they will definitely be able to crack the opponent's methods.

This is both self-confidence, arrogance, and laziness.

Although no one admits it verbally, the fact is that many people are mentally prepared to wait for the final victory if they just stick to it step by step.

This phenomenon is especially evident at the command level.

So far, this group strategy seems to be fine. After all, the empire now has a large population, a vast territory, abundant resources, and extremely creative scholars.

As long as countless civilized individuals continue to contribute, the fate of the group seems destined to be changed.

But this is just an illusion.

Arrogance makes decision makers ignore the importance of individuals.

Even each individual itself despises itself.

Hidden dangers are quietly laid out.

People have overlooked one thing.

Always letting the group completely dominate over the individual will suppress the growth height of the individual.

When faced with a situation that requires extreme individual capabilities and the technological advantages that humans have established in the past have disappeared due to the mutation of the other party, they will be at a loss.

Take the crystal tardigrade as an example. If the tardigrade has the ability to remain indestructible under a certain threshold, then sacrificing more individuals will be in vain.

Maybe everyone will die in the end, and there is still no way to defeat it. Then humans will have to create super-giant fragmentation bombs in exchange for mutual destruction.

The result is a double-lose situation, no winner, and no one wants it.

"Implement Captain Tong Ling's decision, just preheat the engine and wait for the battle report from the front. Everyone, please try to defeat the opponent."

Qin Guang took one second to read the guidance information, and another 0.5 seconds to make a decision and issue an order.

Although the other captains were puzzled, they did not ask too much. Instead, they quickly adjusted their thinking and prepared to execute a seemingly impossible plan - to completely destroy the crystal water bears within thirty seconds and return to the fleet smoothly.

"Execute Plan A, super-saturation attack test."

0.6 seconds later, hundreds of armored vehicles aimed at one point at the same time and launched a saturation concentrated attack.

The power of explosions is not a simple addition, but a multiplication with linear attenuation.

The explosion intensity created by hundreds of armored vehicles attacking one point at the same time is countless times that of the mountain centipede's single action just now, and has already caught up with the main gun bombardment of the main battleship.

Three seconds later, the afterglow of the explosion dispersed slightly, the composite detector resumed its function, and then sighs came one after another.

The tardigrade that was bombarded swelled even more, reaching a length of several kilometers, with a dark glow on its surface, but its forward speed remained steady, and it was completely unharmed.

Obviously, the saturation attack failed and failed to break through the energy absorption limit of the crystal tardigrade.

"Plan B, physical attack coverage."

Dozens of armors equipped with high-performance mass-energy conversion devices or with their own mass weapons rushed up.

This time the warriors chose another tardigrade.

Five seconds later, everyone retreated, gritting their teeth, helpless.

A large number of elementary particles were now spreading around the tardigrade that was chosen as the target, and these particles were still disintegrating and returning to oscillating elementary energy.

It failed again.

"Plan C, autonomous decision-making special weapon test."

Some armors equipped with new weapons that have not yet been fully demonstrated moved forward, while a small number of armors retreated, connecting energy modules in series, preparing to synthesize and activate the fragmentation bombs for a final desperate fight.

A few seconds later, Plan C was also declared bankrupt.

"Autonomous decision-making to coordinate the attack until the armor's energy is exhausted, to buy time for the fragmentation bombs!"

The entire field team voted.

Finally, it has come to this point, and it is time to try to die together.

At this time, Tong Ling's armor took a short break and then jumped up again.

Her mind was running.

She was thinking frantically about what she should do to reach the level of Instructor Long.

At the same time, she was also trying to figure out what the desire to survive was.

She had obviously realized the problem, but why didn't the results change in the end? What was the problem?

What did it mean to be at the end of one's rope?

Is it now?

But have I really tried my best? Is

there anything else I haven't done?

Should I let go of my stubbornness and join the battle as an armored warrior?

These disturbing questions became a mess in Tong Ling's mind, and it was impossible to cut them off.

But she finally made a quick decision.

It is true that I have not done my best, and I have not truly become an armored warrior.

But I can't wait until I die without knowing my true level.

Tong Ling gritted her teeth and quickly pressed the switch button.

The protective layer of the loading bay beside her suddenly opened, and countless bio-sensory fibers rushed in from the front, wrapping her body, with both nerve connection functions and body micro-electromagnetic response functions.

After Tong Ling's brain stem was successfully connected directly to the T100's intelligent core, her scalp went numb and she felt an electric shock all over her body.

In the new Forge armor, the connection method between the warrior and the armored intelligent core has become a thought projection.

At this time, the human brain consciousness and the data in the super-quantum intelligent brain are deeply overlapped to achieve an effect that is infinitely close to zero delay.

But the brain core in T100 is different from that in other people's armor. It is Chen Feng's thought resonance projection, which contains countless times more information than others. And because the operation rules of Chen Feng's projection are closer to real people, the depth of synchronization connection is far beyond the comparison of others.

Therefore, Tong Ling was unable to resist the impact of the connection. She was drawn into T100's "memory" and "fainted" on the battlefield.

Just when Tong Ling was unconscious, the crystal water bears in front of her had different movements.

It seemed that they finally absorbed enough energy.

The two largest tardigrades in the front suddenly began to ripple like water waves, and the ripples spread out, enveloping the other tardigrades behind them.

Countless winding threads of light spread out, combining all the tardigrades into an organic whole.

"They are exchanging energy and tissue with each other. The two largest ones are using their own energy to feed back to the other tardigrades. They are beginning to evolve."

The fleet's operations staff exclaimed.

In the blink of an eye, more than 60 tardigrades have completed their evolution. Their appearance looks the same as before, but their average length is more than 50 meters.

The heads of the tardigrades begin to emit light like stars.

The mist of light emanated from the heads of different tardigrades, and then gathered together in groups.

On average, the light from the heads of every five tardigrades finally gathered together and formed a beam.

These entangled beams of light curved and extended forward quickly, but they would disappear out of thin air at a certain location, and then appear near a certain human armor, and tightly wrap the human armor in it.

These beams of light, like the tardigrades themselves, always directly broke through the space and emerged out of thin air.

Humans could not find any traces in the triple space, and could not avoid them at all.

Any armor wrapped in the beams of light immediately became immobile, and then quickly melted and collapsed like ice and snow under the scorching sun, and the people and armor were transformed into original energy again, and then quickly absorbed by the tardigrades as their nutrients.

No one screamed, and the communicator was very quiet.

There was no brilliant light from any explosion in the universe, and there was no secondary explosion that usually occurs when other substances are destroyed.

Humans were being quietly melted and swallowed by each other.

Names on the casualty list popped up one after another.

Bai Xiang, Sun Tongwen, Shan Wu and others died one after another.

But Tong Ling's team did not suffer the heaviest casualties, and other teams had even been completely wiped out.

The time left for the field armored forces was getting less and less.

In the fleet command room, the adjutant said to Qin Guang, "Let's go, there's no other way."

Qin Guang glanced at the timer from the corner of his eye, "Wait a little longer, there are still ten seconds as agreed."

How much can happen in ten seconds? No one can answer this question.

At this moment, Tong Ling suddenly woke up, opened her eyes, and moved her five fingers, and the kinetic energy distribution system of T100 was opened to 100%.

A total of thirty-six folding, curvature and medium engines on T100 were opened at the same time, and the armor roared forward again.

These three engines each have different application scenarios. In most cases, only two can be used at the same time, otherwise it is easy to get out of control.

Tong Ling did it.

But at this time her eyes were empty and her mind was blank.

She was still in a coma and had not woken up.

She was participating in the Shadow Galaxy War in the previous timeline in T100's "memory".

Time passed quickly in her mind, and she was only one step away from completing the task.

Her mind has merged with Chen Feng in the previous timeline.

Outside, she didn't even know what she was doing.

Six thousandths of a second later, T100 appeared again in front of the tardigrade in the front.

Tong Ling in the armored cockpit trembled her right hand slightly, and a thin battle blade with a density three times that of neutron star matter emerged from the palm of T100 outside.

The outer layer of the battle blade was wrapped in a curvature bubble layer, but the surface of the blade inside was covered with a layer of granular energy.

This part of the energy was briefly generated by Tong Ling through the simulation generator on T100. It can only exist in the universe for less than one thousandth of a second, but it is just enough to reach the blade from the armored arm.

T100 lightly swung a knife at the tardigrade in front.

This knife strike was very strange. It seemed ordinary, but the blade disappeared in mid-air.

Under the impact of the real energy shock, and the space disturbance caused by multiple engines opening at the same time and pulling each other, Tong Ling's knife cut outside the triple space, and then crossed the barrier of space and fell directly on the crystal water bear.

Unlike others, the energy contained in her knife strike was not absorbed, but it was actually cut, creating a large gap in the water bear, which was about 50 meters long.

But there was no internal organs in the gap, only a bunch of colorful streamers, as if it was a time tunnel.

A large amount of colorful light poured out from the breach. These lights were not real light, but pure energy.

Qin Guang, members of the command center, and other surviving fighters all looked sideways.

No one knew what was going on.

Why did others do the same thing in vain before, but she was able to succeed with one blow.

"Tong Ling's parameters have changed."

The adjutant reminded suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Guang immediately opened Tong Ling's personal information.

Her whole-brain connection simulation training assessment data had changed dramatically.

The original 13.54 in front disappeared, and the brackets at the end and the 91.77 inside had also disappeared. Surprisingly, only 99.999 was left..., infinitely close to the level of "dragon".

Qin Guang looked up to the sky and sighed, "We were wrong, we were all wrong."

At this moment, he finally understood the value of the top warriors and what was wrong with humanity today.
