I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

When the pilot fleet arrived, they found that there was more to the surprise than just that.

The third planet in the shadow galaxy not only has an atmospheric structure similar to that of the Earth, but also has the same plate topography.

There is indeed a complete ecology on the surface of the earth, but it is still very different from the earth.

In the solar system, the Oort Cloud and the solar wind together form a protective layer.

The main component of the solar wind is an ultra-high-speed plasma charged particle flow, which can partially block and absorb energetic cosmic radiation.

But the solar wind itself is harmful to carbon-based life. Fortunately, the planet's atmosphere can absorb the flow of charged particles in the solar wind.

Solar wind and planetary atmosphere complement each other and are indispensable, providing favorable preconditions for the birth of early life on Earth.

However, in the shadow galaxy, the direction of the stellar wind is affected by the gravity and multiple revolutions of the black hole, making it very chaotic and disorderly. From time to time, it will even tear holes, and the amount of cosmic background radiation and black hole radiation transmitted from the outside is not small.

The radiation released by a black hole can be divided into two types based on the way it is produced.

One is the Hawking radiation that black holes release all the time. It is mainly composed of real particles transformed from virtual particles that escape from the black hole using tidal forces.

The other is when the black hole successfully captures the mass and energy of the universe, and when the mass and energy enters the event horizon, it releases pure energy rays, mainly X-rays, in a certain direction.

If the total amount of captured mass and energy is too large, gamma rays and more terrifying gamma ray bursts may even be produced.

These energy-type radiation sometimes pass through the obstruction of the stellar wind and have a certain probability of directly shining on the planets in the shadow galaxy.

The planetary atmosphere has a poor blocking and absorption effect on pure energy radiation.

From time to time, when a black hole absorbs material with too much mass, if the super-intense rays it releases happen to point in the direction of the shadow galaxy and happen to pass through the shadow of the Earth, there will always be large-scale ecological collapse in the shadow of the Earth from time to time. .

When the pilot fleet arrived, the biodiversity on Earth's Shadow was approximately equivalent to that of the Earth tens of millions of years ago. It was also dominated by carbon-based life, but the biological forms showed obvious differences.

For example, the trees on Earth's Shadow all appear to be extremely short. There are almost no large trees over five meters tall. The leaves are not flaky, but very thick and block-shaped. The leaves are more like fruits than leaves, and show obvious geometric structures. .

The animals are also small in size and have extremely thick hair and skin.

Some animals look like huge beasts with their hair on, but when they are plucked, they are only about the size of a native dog. Their skin is hard and thick, and they basically have a scale structure.

It has both fluffy and towering hair and a scale structure, which does not conform to the rules of biological evolution on earth.

But in this shadow of the earth, it is just right.

The surface molecular structure of the villi forms a special coupling, forming a reaction layer like a hydrophobic layer, which has a considerable reflection effect on energy radiation.

It seems that the mechanism is somewhat similar to the frozen whiskers of the spherical battleship, but the core principles and functions are completely different.

The oil film on the surface of the scales on the skin will form a special structural layer, which has strong absorption and energy conversion and storage effects on radiation.

Humans have not completely destroyed the original ecology in the shadow of the Earth. They have only temporarily taken root on a continent that was swept away by a super strong gamma ray burst about 100 years ago and is still full of deadly radiation residues, leaving almost no vegetation.

With the technological level of the pilot fleet at that time, the transformation of the galaxy no longer needed to be carried out slowly from the planetary level, but directly transformed the overall environment of the entire galaxy.

It took the Navigators seventy years to build a total of nine Dyson branes in the Oort cloud of the shadow galaxy.

The nine layers of Dyson membranes are stacked together at a very close distance, and are pulled into a oscillating egg-filled cake by the interaction of the black hole's gravity, the centrifugal force of the first and second layers' revolutions, the internal star's gravity, and its own structural force. shape.

Since then, the internal environment of the shadow galaxy has changed drastically.

The Dyson membrane absorbs the Hawking radiation that the black hole continuously emits and the intermittent bursts of X and gamma radiation externally, and absorbs the stellar wind and light energy internally. The electrical energy output is several times that of the solar system and is comparable to a multi-star system.

At the same time, the radiation background environment inside the shadow galaxy has been basically eliminated from the influence of black hole radiation, and has become highly similar to that in the solar system, and the differences in stellar rules between the interior and the solar system have been smoothed out.

The superposition of nine layers of Dyson film has extremely high absorption efficiency for stellar light. The light transmittance is as low as 0.05 to the ninth power, which is only 1.95 parts per trillion, infinitely close to zero. This means that the light of the shadow sun is almost Do not escape to the outside world.

The multi-layered Dyson film also has a strong light absorption effect on the outside. It no longer reflects yellow light in the universe, but appears inky black.

It absorbs light from the outside and absorbs it more completely from the inside, causing the planetary system constructed of nine-layer Dyson membrane to almost perfectly blend with the black hole background.

The shadow galaxy has since been completely hidden in the black hole environment.

Later, humans improved the Dyson membrane technology and built a tenth layer of Dyson membrane that only absorbs quantum network information in one direction to prevent the leakage of information in the galaxy.

The Shadow Galaxy has truly become the second home of mankind. It is also the core location of the original world government and salvation. It has begun to develop rapidly, gradually regaining its leadership over mankind, and trying to shape the Orion Arm civilization into what it wants.

In fact, at this stage, it will be difficult for the Shadow Galaxy, which has been "wandering" for more than two hundred years, to successfully take over the power and require all other colonies to cooperate with its actions.

Humanity has a formidable enemy in front of us. It is almost impossible to have an internal war and can only evolve peacefully.

Peaceful evolution is a new model for mankind in the Orion Arm that involves both competition and mutual reinforcement.

Technology competition, knowledge competition, commander simulation battle, special simulation battle...

During the fifty years from 2801 to 2851, the above competition model became the main theme of the Morrowind Empire.

The Shadow Galaxy, which had not closed the information channel at that time, was overwhelmingly ahead of many other colonies in multiple competitions.

In 2851, the Morrowind Empire passed a vote with a 99.98% approval rate, determined the guiding line with the strategy of the Shadow Galaxy as the highest policy, and announced that it would obey the overall leadership of the Shadow Galaxy over the empire.

There is no other reason. In these 50 years, the Shadow Galaxy, with the power of a single planetary system, has almost undertaken 70% of the entire empire's major technological innovations, and has achieved overwhelming advantages in many aspects of competition.

Especially after the emergence of a young scientist named Dong Shan, the scientific innovation ability of Shadow Galaxy is unparalleled.

After that, the Shadow Galaxy closed the channel and changed the communication pattern.

The shadow galaxy itself will communicate with the clones through the stars, simultaneously monitor the external environment and collect information, but its own information is closed and no longer reports information to the outside world in real time.

At the same time, the Shadow Galaxy will also absorb a batch of new blood from outside personnel every few years, bringing together highly aroused, high IQ and special operations talents born in different star regions.

However, after these people arrive, they are no longer allowed to easily contact the outside world.

At the same time, the Shadow Galaxy sends a group of people every few years, carrying a large amount of information through the star gate and appearing in many other colonies, including the Alton Galaxy, to share scientific and technological achievements with the outside world as "inventors" of these galaxies. And put forward new plans for the development of civilization.

One of the plans is the DF-711 Fortress starship.

When the Fortress starship was first born, it was not actually in that location.

The ultra-small star is located further inside.

When the first-generation Fortress starship was built, it had already begun to sail slowly to the frontier of the empire, constantly updating its technology while sailing. It took a full 150 years to reach the position when the war broke out in 3020, and now in 3121 , and have just reached the border of the empire's territory.

At this time, the Fortress starship just forms a straight line with the solar system and the shadow galaxy that is symmetrical at the midpoint.

The total length of the straight line is 5,000 light years, and the midpoint is the solar system.

As for the line connecting the two key colonies of the Orton Galaxy and the Basalt Galaxy to the solar system, the straight line from the shadow of the fortress sun is exactly perpendicular at an angle of 90 degrees.

The distance between the Orton and Xuanwu galaxies and the solar system is less than 5,000 light years. This is related to the geometric shape of the Orion Arm itself.

Just like Chen Feng's previous multiple bait analysis, such a layout indeed uses everyone except the Shadow Galaxy as bait.

The 14,400 galaxy-level colonies in the entire vast empire, as well as the total population that has gradually multiplied and grown to 35 trillion, are all bait.

The purpose of setting up so many baits is to gain more strategic depth, obtain stronger productivity, explore more rules, and continuously extend the time of the war.

The Hundred Years of Struggle is not only a struggle for each galaxy member, but also a preparation for the final battle in exchange for more information for the Shadow Galaxy.

But this matter cannot be made public at will, and it is impossible for everyone to know.

In addition to the people in the shadow galaxy, only the second marshals who came out of the shadow galaxy, as well as the top leaders in the core galaxies such as Orton and Xuanwu are qualified to know.

So far, it seems that this cold-blooded plan has been executed very successfully.

Orion and mankind used the war outside to fight for a hundred years of stability for the shadow.

In the past hundred years, the scientific research institutions on Shadow's side have never stopped providing technical support to the outside world. They have also successively dispatched many soldiers and commanders to join the meat grinder-like battlefield and play roles in many battles. important role.

In the end, the shadow waited until Chen Feng was "very close", only 42 light-years away.

It was a huge success.

After listening to Fanxing's introduction, Chen Feng was completely shocked by this generous move.

After pondering for a long time, he shook his head slightly and commented: "It's a good idea."

Fanxing: "You shake your head because based on your past world view, you think this is unfair to other people in the Orion Arm. But your overall awareness as a leader agrees that this is the best way we can think of."

Chen Feng hummed, "Yes. You have done much better than I imagined and expected. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to do such a big deal."

Fanxing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Wake up. It was you who proposed the initial plan for the pilot fleet yourself, and the Salvation Society has been resolutely implementing your will. Without your spiritual guidance, God knows how many variables would have occurred during the execution of the entire plan. . But at that time, you didn’t predict that there would be a twin solar system in the Orion Arm. You just pointed out that we should concentrate our superior forces on one galaxy and let the most intelligent and creative people stay together as much as possible. In short, you He’s the one who started everything.”

Chen Feng was stunned, "Is that so? Ha...haha, then I'm quite capable."

"Well, in your later years, you were particularly keen on controlling everything. The entire Salvation Society is just your spiritual projection."

Chen Feng's face suddenly turned red, and he was secretly glad that he had not given a negative comment just now, otherwise it would have been a slap in the face.

Chen Feng thought of another important matter and asked, "Then tell me what method you used to ensure that I would appear at the right place at the right time."

Fanxing behind the isolation barrier smiled: "Have you ever heard of psychohistory?"

Chen Feng was shocked, "Of course I have heard of it. It is an academic discipline that originated from Freud's psychoanalysis and was carried forward by Asimov in the "Foundation" series. The core is in fabricated science fiction novels, through analysis Tens of billions of residents distributed on 20 million planets summarize the economic, political, social and scientific events of large-scale populations in history to find objective laws that are consistent with civilization and the universe, and use the mastered laws to predict the development of civilization. For Right? Did I remember correctly?"

Fanxing: "Your summary is basically accurate and consistent with the fiction in science fiction novels."

Chen Feng's heartbeat gradually accelerated, "Have you mastered psychohistory?"

Fanxing shook his head, "It doesn't count."

"ha?"

"First of all, our population base is not as large as tens of billions. Secondly, the number of other civilizations in the galaxy is much greater than what the original science fiction writers imagined. Civilizations composed of different intelligent life forms will only affect Human psychohistorical judgments have caused interference, preventing us from summarizing this law. Now we have also discovered the impact of more stellar quantum storms on the quantum laws of the human brain. Group behavior has become more unpredictable, and will inevitably increase as the population increases. The complexity continues to grow as we arrive at more galaxies.”

"Whether true psychohistory exists or how it is related to the quantum nature of the universe, we have yet to know. In short, that is not important. In this operation, we have simplified psychohistory and turned it into a method that is only for you. Personal, probability of personal behavior. This is probably just a branch of psychohistory, we call it pre-philosophy."

Chen Feng: "Huh? Against me? Philosophy first?"

"Yes. I only study the sage Chen Feng."

"Okay. Tell me what's going on."

"Our historians and psychologists will continue to deepen their understanding of you by studying "Multiple Eyes Crisis", "Feng Lei", and your personal life trajectory changes. All your life trajectories from childhood to adulthood, including your Every word you speak, every microexpression you make, as long as it is recorded, is the object of study by scholars."

Chen Feng imagined it for a moment, feeling as if someone had completely seen through him, which was a bit creepy.

Could it be that these descendants even know how many times they wet the bed and how many times they had diarrhea after eating bad food?

"At the same time, scholars have also speculated on the behavioral patterns of the compound-eyed people by analyzing the Mysterians, compound-eyed people, and the signs of civilizations we have observed in the Orion Arm, the entire Milky Way, and even extragalactic galaxies."

Chen Feng nodded, "This is what it should be."

"And then. Look carefully at our star map."

Stars projected the original territory layout of the Morrowind Empire in the central control room. Before the war, 14,400 colonies and more than 100,000 Dyson membrane energy bases came into Chen Feng's sight.

"This is the overall layout of the Morrowind Empire before the war began. You will find that the development levels of different star regions and different colonies are different. But in fact, some of the colonies should not be so prosperous, and some of the colonies should be stronger. We adjusted the technological progress and development tendencies of each colony to form a large network spanning 5,000 light years. When the war began, the fleet of the Compound Eyes was indeed powerful, but in fact the process direction has been according to our plan. The direction is advancing. There will be some slight differences along the way, but the errors will not be too big."

The next moment, changes began to occur in the star map.

The Proxima Centauri galaxy suddenly turned red first, indicating the arrival of the prism fleet.

After that, the red circle began to spread outwards, and at the same time, new green and blue dots spread, and then turned red again.

Circles representing the flames of war started from the core star region and began to spread in all directions, eventually forming today's pattern.

Fanxing: "This is the evolution of war in the past hundred years. You see, the Compound Eyes will absorb our art of war, changing from meat grinder tactics to focused strikes, and then disperse the troops or go deep alone. This gives us Create many opportunities to catch single-sided ships. A total of 1.3 million... times."

Chen Feng nodded, "Although we have not yet successfully cracked the material of the prism ship, from the perspective of collecting information, we have achieved the ultimate goal."

Fanxing: "Yes, but the end of all this is still you. If you look at the direction of the Compound Eye Fleet..."

The stars marked several different travel routes on the star map, some of which coincided with Chen Feng's route in the past hundred years, and some of which were different.

"Except for not deducing that your crossing anchor point is really an uninhabited solar system, we almost all guessed it correctly. We knew that you would choose to lurk and wait first, and then use the layout of the war zone to create these ships that are not easy to encounter the compound eye fleet. Safe route of travel.”

"At the same time, scholars also know that you will definitely visit different star regions through the star gate. Although no one thought that you could find a stealth method before, your rules are still being calculated. Freders and you are in the network The intercepted information about specialty galaxies has actually been screened. Some specialty galaxies have been blocked by me."

"If you use the filtered data as a basis for judgment, your route will eventually become like this, which will ultimately give you a high probability of appearing near the shadow galaxy during this time period. We have prepared so much, It’s not surprising that this effect can be achieved. There is about a 33% or more chance of success. This is the ultimate probability calculated by scholars, and there is no way to improve it. However, a one-third chance is already worth a try. After all, we must contact you in order to maximize our benefits, right?"

After Fanxing finished speaking, a golden route appeared on the star map that meandered and jumped through the star gate many times. It was all the footprints Chen Feng had left in the empire's territory in the past hundred years.

Chen Feng was silent for a long time, "Yes, the great plan was successful."

Fanxing: "But we also made a major mistake. We didn't discover the Mi clan's ship hidden in the lava planet in advance, and we didn't expect that the Compound Eye Civilization would suddenly step up its offensive because you exposed your powerful combat power. Otherwise, we would have at least been able to It can be delayed for a few more years.”

Chen Feng smiled and said, "There is nothing foolproof. If you want to win, you need to find possible variables from the impossible, which is the X factor."

Fanxing: "You yourself are the biggest X factor."

Chen Feng nodded, "Okay, we're done talking. I understand the ins and outs of the matter. The most important thing now is that I still have to find a way to reach the Shadow Galaxy as soon as possible."

Fanxing: "Yeah."

"Before that, Fanxing, please prepare the list for me."

"What list?"

Chen Feng rolled his eyes, "Don't ask questions knowingly."

This is the disadvantage of changing from Wei Xing to Fanxing, it’s very naughty.

In the next moment, Chen Feng began to list a long list of names in front of his eyes.

From top to bottom they are:

Ding Hu, Pang De, Xiao Zhou, Ouyang Zhenhua, Tang Tianxin, Ye Luming, Scott, Ou Qinglan, Lin Bu...

Chen Feng's eyes swept from top to bottom at an extremely fast speed.

Unconsciously, his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

Yes, it's all there.

Wait, there are some people missing.

"Where is Dong Shan? Where is Emmanuel Bertou?"

Fanxing: "Some people have passed away due to old age."

Chen Feng was shocked and sighed, "It's gone."

Fanxing: "Well, time is the most deadly weapon in the universe after all."

Chen Feng suddenly felt lost, and he couldn't help but think of Old Man Dong's old and unscrupulous appearance.

The old man was already one hundred and seventy years old in 3020, and it is now 3121.

The old man's work was so intense that it was natural that he couldn't wait for himself.

"Here is a video that Mr. Dong left before his death. He said he would only show it to you. Do you want to see it?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Let's take a look."

The projection in front of Chen Feng's eyes turned into a room with ancient charm. An old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face was sitting on an imperial chair with his legs crossed.

The old man's head was lolling sideways, as if he was sleeping.

The voiceover sounded, "Mr. Dong, the filming has started."

The old man trembled violently and sat up straight. His eyes that were cloudy just a moment ago suddenly became bright and clear.

The old man stared forward, his lips gradually curved, revealing a smile.

Then, he opened his mouth suddenly, his voice was loud, his tongue was like a lotus flower, and he spoke very fast and crackling.

"Grandpa, you went too far this time! I have been waiting so hard for you! I can't wait any longer! Hey, you don't know how difficult it is for me this time. I have been indoctrinated since I was a child to worship you and respect you. You, look up to you. I studied very hard, but I can't do it. I just remembered what it said in the movie, I am the person who stabbed your butt with a needle, how can I respect you? Look at what I have prepared this time."

Dong Shan raised his hand and grabbed a huge thigh-thick needle from the side. The tip of the needle was glowing with a dark black light that represented space cutting, as if the online game equipment had particle effects added to it.

"How about it? Is the big needle I prepared for you, Grandpa, strong enough this time? But if you don't come, I won't have a place to pierce it! Okay, okay, having said all that, I have only one request, brother. Grandpa, how can you do this? You must remember my name. Next time, you must not forget me just because we haven’t met. I will be gone. But you must not...Grandpa, you must remember me..."

The voice-over sounded again, "Mr. Dong, pay attention to your image! Image! You are two hundred and fifty years old."

Dong Shan glanced at the side and said, "Image is a piece of shit! My life is gone. How can I impress him with the image of an egg? Oh, by the way, am I two hundred and fifty years old?"

"Ten seconds left to reach two hundred and fifty-one."

"Oh shit, I have to hold on! Otherwise, when people look at the history books and see my age, the old thief Dong Shan died at 250 years old. Doesn't this trick me? Ten seconds gone?"

"Yes, you are two hundred and fifty-one."

Old Man Dong breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's stable. Oh, by the way, I also prepared a poem. Grandpa, listen, I will read it to you..."

In the end, Old Man Dong couldn't read out the limerick. He tilted his head while making a fuss and fell silent again.

The voice-over suddenly burst into wailing.

The video ends abruptly.

Opposite Chen Feng had a smile on his face, but his eyes were inexplicably moist.

This old guy worked too hard just to get a name, and he had no moral integrity.

Even though he acts like a little brat at his age, he is still a teenager.

She has the same demeanor as when I was flirting with Zhong Lei.

Today I said I would update everything, and it’s done. Please give me a monthly ticket, please subscribe, and please recommend me. This chapter is undoubtedly a tribute to Asimov, and it is a preview of the series adapted from Asimov's "Foundation" series of novels that will be broadcast next year. To be honest, when I was conceiving the timeline of the Morrowind Empire, I clarified this plot about Chen Feng's movements, but at that time I really didn't expect that this tribute would correspond to the adaptation of "Foundation" in my lifetime.
