Tang Tianxin had a serene smile on his face, and he lowered his head slightly and gently stroked his abdomen.

Chen Feng thought for a long time and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Tang Tianxin patted the chessboard lightly, "There is no need for us to mate now, so just come and play a game of chess with me."

Chen Feng sat down.

Halfway through the game, the black pieces he held were completely defeated and there was no chance of winning.

This scene has been played out countless times in the past six months.

He loses every time, and the process of losing is never the same, but the result is constant.

In the past, Chen Feng felt that such failures made him feel boring, and he only insisted on playing for the sake of interesting pre-chess exercise.

But Tang Tianxin never gets tired of it, as if he will never get bored.

"I say, if you keep winning against me like this, why not play against the AI? That would at least be a bit challenging. Playing against a lousy chess piece like me, you don't feel like you're participating at all, do you?"

Chen Feng casually threw the chess piece onto the table and raised his hands to admit defeat.

Tang Tianxin smiled and pointed at the chessboard, saying, "I always lose when playing against AI, and I always win when playing against you. The result is always the same. Of course, playing against you is more interesting."

Chen Feng asked, "Interesting? You mean that winning makes you feel happy?"

Tang Tianxin nodded, "Winning is of course better than losing. And playing chess with people, you can feel more diversity than with AI. Even the most perfect artificial intelligence cannot perfectly simulate the uncertainty of human thinking, just like the mistake of your fourth move, AI will never be able to simulate it."

She pointed her finger, and the light screen behind her began to replay.

Chen Feng looked up, "Or even if the AI ​​plays like this, when it reaches the middle of the game, you will find that this is not a mistake but a trap?"

"Yes."

"Then I have a question." Chen Feng crawled forward a little and asked in a slightly oppressive tone: "Since you can sense the emotional changes when you lose and win, then you should have feelings. So what do you think of our experience in the past six months?"

Tang Tianxin replied quickly: "The logic I have learned tells me under what circumstances we should be happy, what kind of emotions are necessary, and what kind of emotions are meaningless."

Chen Feng got the answer he wanted, nodded and left.

"Okay, I know everything."

This includes Tang Tianxin, Ou Qinglan, and even everyone Chen Feng has known so far.

Everyone has chosen a tone in their heart that never changes, and then built their own logical framework based on this tone, and let this logical framework override their own emotional instincts.

This is both a necessity under the current crisis and the result of human self-evolution.

Chen Feng returned to the combat readiness cabin where the Qinglongjia operators gathered.

Bond and many team members were waiting for him in formation.

According to the requirements of the rules and regulations, he, a captain, should make a brief pre-war mobilization.

This is really not what Chen Feng is good at. He has always been a role model by his own actions, not by his high-sounding words

. Coupled with his personal pessimism, he does not think that his words can play any positive role in mobilizing people.

He just put his hands behind his back, staggered back and forth, and was silent for a full ten minutes. When the atmosphere became solemn to a certain degree, he said: "Everyone, it takes a thousand days to train an army, but only a moment to deploy it. We have consumed a large amount of social resources and have prepared countless plans for possible enemies. When the enemy appears, our central intelligent computer will select the best overall response plan within 0.1 second. Our captain will complete all instructions and layouts within five seconds, and we, as a Qinglong armor warrior. What we should do is to figure out within one second what role we should play in this war, and perform our tasks without hesitation! I have finished speaking, at ease!" After

announcing the disbandment of the team, Chen Feng returned to his room.

As for the other Azure Dragon Armor warriors, they each went to cooperate with the operation assistant to make the final check to ensure that their equipment was in perfect combat readiness.

Chen Feng's equipment was in the charge of Ou Qinglan. After half a year of running-in, the two of them now cooperated well.

"Chen Feng, your equipment is fine. You are always on standby."

Ou Qinglan knocked on the door of his lounge and walked in to say.

Chen Feng nodded, "Thank you."

Looking at Ou Qinglan's silver hair that could no longer be restored and his round face with a little baby fat, he thought for a moment and asked, "Dr. Ou, I heard that you also studied anthropology in your spare time. Right?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Do you think that the evolutionary direction chosen by modern humans is in line with expectations? Will actively stripping humans of their rich emotions that distinguish them from ordinary animals really help them face unknown enemies?"

Ou Qinglan raised his eyebrows, "Are you confused?"

"Of course."

"In fact, there is no answer to your question. Whether it is Pangu Academy, which specializes in biotechnology, or Suzaku Academy, which specializes in humanities technology, there is no definite answer. This topic runs through the entire history of human evolution, from ancient times to the present. Every war, plague, and every process that causes major social changes is an exploration."

"We cannot judge whether we are right or wrong before seeing the results. We can only reverse the problem-solving process based on the final answer. Fortunately, human civilization still exists so far, which proves that our route is not wrong."

Chen Feng asked back: "It may just be because the crises we faced in the past were not big enough?"

"Maybe. The trial and error cost of this exploration is very high, so high that it is unbearable, but it can only be borne."

...

Accompanied by a huge explosion that was extremely brilliant, Chen Feng's world returned to silence again.

He floated quietly in the dark void, waiting for his soul to return to its place, waiting for another awakening.

Before that, his thoughts were fixed on the moment when Tang Tianxin stared at the chess piece in his hand with wide eyes and great surprise.

Chen Feng miscalculated one thing, and so did all the commanders of the entire human race.

After completing the pre-war mobilization, starting at noon on October 26, 3020, the entire space fleet and all ground forces entered a state of high alert, waiting for disaster to strike at any time.

Chen Feng relaxed until 8 a.m. on October 27, 3020, and was then dispatched as a special forces commander to lead the team out of the battleship and was dropped into space ten kilometers away from the battleship.

They were not placed on the periphery of the line as meat shields, but were interspersed in the center of the gaps between many battleships in the entire left-wing fleet.

The Qinglong armor warriors were not a suicide squad that was sent to die in vain. They were dispatched in advance only to prevent the situation from changing too quickly and not even having a chance to leave the ship in the event of a boarding battle.

October 27, 3020 AD, 9:43 am.

Chen Feng ordered the use of coagulation serum. He was the last of all the special operations team leaders to give the order, but no one questioned his delay.

He was more nervous than anyone else.

Not only did he turn the power of the detection equipment to the maximum, he also adjusted his personal mental state to the most sensitive.

He could swear that no matter what posture the enemy took or from which direction he approached, he would be able to react immediately.

But at this moment, the universe was still silent and the stars were still bright.

"The vanguard fleet reports that no enemy has been detected!"

"Left wing fleet..."

"Right wing fleet..."

At 9:45, reports from the major fleets rang in his ears one after another through the transmission of the quantum network.

Chen Feng's pupils were dark, and he still stared at the night sky.

A trace of hope emerged in the depths of his mind.

Could it be that I have successfully changed the future, and the lurking enemies have chosen to give up after seeing the technological progress of mankind today? Or lie in ambush?

Buzz...

As soon as this thought arose, a shocking flash of light erupted from the location of the vanguard fleet cluster in the distance of his field of vision.

A strong light lit up.

Still no sound could be heard, only the flashing explosion light one after another.

Once again, the explosion occurred without warning.

Compared to watching TV on the ground when he was a low-income household, being in space in person, as a member of it, the impact was a thousand times stronger.

Chen Feng's hair stood on end and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

Here they come.

But where are the enemies!

"Enemy attack..."

Finally, a clear scream came to his ears, but the sound stopped abruptly.

He glanced at the lower right corner of his helmet, where the source of the signal was displayed, which was the vanguard fleet.

Immediately afterwards, the vanguard fleet completely lost contact.

Countless battleships, as well as more Qinglong armored warriors densely distributed around the battleships, did not put up the slightest resistance and were drowned in the aftermath of the explosion.

Chen Feng's mind went blank, with only endless confusion.

Where are the enemies?

Where are they?

How did they all get wiped out?

"Weiwei, open the full-channel information access! Can anyone tell me how the explosion happened?"

"Captain, be careful! Xiao..."

A scream rang out in the helmet, and Chen Feng turned his head to see that Bond, who was wearing a blue dragon armor, had been cut into two pieces by the fragments that were shot out at an astonishing speed after a battleship exploded not far away.

The sacrifice report was quickly generated and projected on his helmet.

Just now, Bond's intelligent brain calculated in 0.01 seconds that the fragment that was about to pass by his side would hit Chen Feng.

Then he took another 0.1 seconds to make a decision, and pulled the acceleration to 20G, completing a small maneuver, blocking the debris for Chen Feng and changing its direction.

There was no time to grieve. Chen Feng gritted his teeth and shouted to others: "Everyone disperse! Stay away from the battleship! Pay attention to your own protection!"

There was no extra time to think, and everyone scattered according to his orders.

As for Chen Feng himself, he didn't know where to escape. His

intuition told him that he should continue to stay away from Tianxin.

This was most in line with his original intention, to strive to live a few more seconds.

But his emotions told him that at this time, he really wanted to return to Tianxin.

The vanguard fleet had all exploded, and the next would be the center or wing fleets. No one could escape.

He eventually pulled the power to 50G in an instant, and rushed towards the Tianxin like a cannonball.

When he was halfway there, he finally received the intelligence compiled by his artificial intelligence assistant Weiwei.

"According to Dr. Ou Qinglan's latest energy detection instrument, when all the explosions occurred, the source of energy release was inside the major warships, some from the command room, and some from the captain's private room. The news has been reported to the entire army."

Chen Feng still rushed back firmly.

"I have received a notice from my superior, Captain Tang Tianxin, asking Captain Chen Feng to stay away from the Tianxin."

The reminder sounded in his ears again.

Chen Feng ignored him and forced the Tianxin to open the loading bay, otherwise he would rush in.

Three seconds later, the loading bay of the Tianxin opened and Chen Feng rushed in.

Afterwards, he did not wait for the air to be fully filled, but with the help of the Qinglong Armor-Modified, he used the alloy knife to split the internal structure of the battleship and rushed to the command room.

Then he saw Tang Tianxin holding a white chess piece and standing there.

A crazy alarm sounded in his ears.

"Warning! Severe energy fluctuations detected ahead!"

"Warning! Ahead..."

Inside the helmet, the blazing red light representing extreme danger almost blinded him temporarily, and the shrill alarm pierced his eardrums.

The chess piece in Tang Tianxin's hand looked ordinary, but the command room in Chen Feng's field of vision was shaking vaguely as if it was soaked in water.

This was because the short-term release of energy in a small space was too strong, causing the speed of light to change, creating an illusion like underwater diffusion.

The next moment, the chess piece exploded.

Chen Feng's journey across time and space that spanned thousands of years once again ended in such a tragic manner.

Similarly, mankind was defeated again.

In the vast universe, human beings are like a wolf cub learning to walk in the prairie. Perhaps one day it will become the wolf king, but unfortunately it encountered a hungry cheetah when it was still young.

Human beings are extinct.

Once again.

Just like a lost wolf cub being torn to pieces by a cheetah on the prairie.

It seems cruel and is a tragic catastrophe for the entire race.

But this vigorous process is basically the same as the bacteria on the body of the tragic wolf cub.

When the sample is magnified, in the infinite universe, there is no essential difference between the death of an individual and the extinction of a group.

This is the law of nature, except that the space has been magnified from the prairie to the universe.

Human civilization, which is still in its infancy, was unfortunately hunted.

This is insignificant in the vast universe, and it doesn't even leave a tombstone to commemorate it.

Only Chen Feng will continue to carry this painful memory back to reality.

In the past, he was secretly complacent about getting this "golden finger", but now he just wants to complain painfully, why did you choose me?

Why didn't the golden finger choose a more powerful host and let him take this responsibility.

I would rather be a mortal, even if I am a little poorer, a little more miserable, and a little more humble, and just live a simple life, isn't it okay?

Chen Feng asked himself this question over and over again, and then more doubts emerged again.

Chen Feng didn't know whether he was dreaming or his soul was wandering in the long river of time and space, looking for his destination thousands of years ago.

His mind was clear, and he even remembered everything he saw before the explosion engulfed him.

He even remembered the tear in Tang Tianxin's eye that represented regret and self-blame.

Chen Feng wondered what Tang Tianxin was regretting and blaming herself for, and she had done nothing wrong.

Wasn't she used to putting logic over feelings? Then she should be more calm in facing failure.

Why is she crying?

If it were his past habit, facing such a problem that he couldn't figure out, he would decisively put it aside.

But this time he couldn't do it.

On the one hand, it was obsession, but on the other hand, he discovered that even though his body was dead, the effect of his enhanced logical thinking ability and his spirit becoming hyperactive after the injection of coagulation serum seemed to still remain in him.

After a long time, Chen Feng opened his eyes in horror and sat up again.

He looked at the time on the phone next to the pillow again. It

was back again.

Some thoughts that had not been sorted out before were slowly entangled in his mind, forming a clear memory.

He figured out some things.

It was a huge conspiracy that made him feel creepy just by thinking about it.

Human beings did not perish in their own hands.

The enemy still exists, but it is more insidious and despicable than the honest and stupid aliens in the countless science fiction works he had read.
