Chapter 616 Disobedience, an old friend who spans time and space
Lin La sent a message to Yang Guoding.
Yang Guoding looked at the private communication channel and controlled the cursor to move back and forth between deleting and opening it for five seconds.
"You are insulting us with your selfishness. I was once proud of you, but that is all in the past tense."
Seeing this message, Yang Guoding's facial muscles twitched slightly, and then he replied, "I'm very busy. You just need to obey the order."
"I know you are not busy, because you haven't found the direction to be busy yet. You are lying, you are evading. You have selfish motives. I was not sure at first, but when you lied to me, I knew the answer.
Do you know what you are doing? You are heading towards the abyss of sin. You think you are great, but in fact you are despicable. You are committing a crime, and you will become a sinner in history."
Lin La's message was no longer in text, but in voice.
The two finally met.
In the reception area of Yang Guoding's office, the two of them sat opposite each other.
Lin La looked at Yang Guoding with angry eyes.
Yang Guoding, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, unexpectedly had a rare dodge in his eyes.
"I know I'm a bit arrogant. With my rank and purely on official business, I don't have the right to see you. You could have blocked me from the door, or even ordered the guards to take me away. But you still saw me.
I, this once again proves my suspicion about your selfishness."
As soon as Lin La opened her mouth, she attacked fiercely.
The corners of Yang Guoding's eyes shrank slightly.
Lin La: "You are upset. You regret. You are shaken. Your will is no longer pure. Your self-pretended nobility is collapsing. You are indeed not a qualified politician, just a scientific researcher. Let you serve as our
The person in charge of the project was actually a mistake.”
Yang Guoding was silent.
"You have qualified knowledge, but you are not cold-blooded. Under your leadership, we failed to reach our highest potential. In order to prove yourself, you took over the position of project leader. But you did not do your job well.
.So, the reality we have to face is that an unqualified leader led us to conduct an unqualified scientific experiment, and failed to exert its maximum ability in resurrecting the sage. In a world where failure is equal to death
There is no such thing as glory in defeat. Incompetence itself is a crime."
Yang Guoding finally spoke, "That's enough. I'll ask myself. Except for your matter, I have nothing to be ashamed of."
"To truly have a clear conscience, you should die with everyone else, instead of trying to drive others off the ship."
Yang Guoding: "But this is murder."
"According to you, every general should be sent to the gallows? No, the general who really should be hanged is like this. He knows that a soldier is still helpful to complete the mission, and the soldier himself has enough
Awareness, but he forcibly drove people away from the mission out of selfish motives, causing the mission to irreparably fail. This is murder. The targets of his murder are billions and tens of billions in future wars.
Even tens of trillions of victims!"
"Your rhetoric is meaningless. You are taking care of me and want me to live. I admit that my physical condition is not good, but what does it matter? You should have my assessment data in your hands. Yesterday, I became
The best nutritionist in the base. If you drive me away, you are irresponsible to the entire human race and you are also humiliating me."
Yang Guoding turned his head stiffly.
"Yang Guoding, if you are really selfless, then you should let me stay. There is still hope for the sage. Do you know about tardigrades? Tardigrades that have been frozen to death for hundreds of millions of years can also regain their vitality in space.
Can reproduce. The underlying information of the sage's genes is more primitive than that of the tardigrade. As long as we can complete the in vivo inverse deduction and more deeply integrate the sage's genes with the characteristics of the tardigrade, we will have a chance."
Yang Guoding shook his head, "This is unrealistic. Bottom-level information belongs to bottom-level information. The human body and tardigrades are different after all."
"But if it is a virtual energy life that can exist widely in the universe, what about the crystal tardigrades that our unknown fleet encountered before? According to my calculations, if we first stably convert the embryos into virtual energy matter, and then convert the crystal
The characteristics of the tardigrade are carved into it.”
"When the spacecraft truly reaches the speed of light, as long as the sage's consciousness still exists, it will be sucked back by the infinitely amplified absorption characteristics of the tardigrade, and the sage's last participating personality will have the opportunity to enter the embryo without any hindrance. Then the fusion will be complete.
It’s done. From now on, it’s his business. I’ve just begun to have in-depth contact with the unknown fleet’s latest research results on crystal tardigrades, but you want to drive me away? Drive me away because of your selfishness?”
Yang Guoding was finally speechless and could no longer find any reason to refute.
Not long after, a second person came to the door again. He was a research expert in the field of virtual energy.
His reasons were similar to Lin La's. Since the new direction happened to be within the scope of his professional field, he shouldn't go.
Yang Guoding had to relent again.
The wonderful thing about the system is that it cannot be easily broken for a specific target. Once a gap is opened and the news leaks out, there will only be more and more imitators, and the original plan can no longer be implemented.
Just like Lin La scolded, Yang Guoding is not a qualified politician or soldier.
He can neither be cold-blooded nor ruthless, nor can he impose absolute orders and prohibitions.
others say.
"You, Yang Guoding, are not the only great people, and we have never given up. Everyone will die after all, and it may be lighter than a feather... Now that we have a new plan, we want to try again."
Some people even used Yang Guoding's words to refute him.
"You once said that we are soldiers, and this is our battlefield. We agree. However, you should know that soldiers do not have emergency evacuation rights. Every soldier took an oath when he joined the army. Although we did not take the oath with our mouths, we did so in our hearts.
I have become aware. If soldiers retreat whenever there is a risk of death, how will we fight this war? Who will protect the people? Who will protect our bases?"
"The essence of this kind of deserter behavior is distrust of people outside. We should believe that this is where we are needed most, so we do not approve of your judgment, Director Yang."
"There are hundreds of billions of people outside who have more than one of us, and one who has less of us is not more. But here, every time there is one less person, the operation speed of the organization will be slower. This is where we are needed most. Our greatest value
, just die here, regardless of success or failure. Even if it is a complete failure, our story will always shine in the universe like the sun, inspiring future generations together with the sages."
Yang Guoding could not tell others that the original declaration was not his original words.
But he couldn't tell anyone about this.
He could only admit it, but there was no way to save him.
This was the only time since the entire project began that project participants collectively disobeyed his orders.
But no one should be punished.
The institute's last attempt began - to deenergize dead embryos, and the genetic information carried by the deactivated embryos must be completely consistent with that of the embryos originally composed of real energy.
After everyone dispersed, Yang Guoding's office became quiet again.
He suddenly recalled the words given to him by Mastermind Fanxing.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, could Fanxing have anticipated his own character flaws when he was compiling that speech, and anticipated what would happen today?
Since the mastermind Fanxing has even calculated the human nature when the mission is about to fail, will it also calculate the death of the embryo or suspended animation?
If all this is really planned, then it means that there is indeed hope for things.
Yang Guoding suddenly broke into a cold sweat and was deeply grateful for it.
If Lin La hadn't used the lingering relationship between the two to force him to give in, there would only be more than 20,000 people left in the base.
Lin La pulled him back from the sinner's cliff.
An indescribably complicated smile appeared silently on the corner of his mouth, feeling a little grateful, a little ashamed, and a little relieved.
He knew that before Lin La entered the door, he had already anticipated what would happen when the gap was opened.
She is still using the last remaining strength of her life to help herself from every angle.
…
There is silence in the void of the universe.
The slightly elongated eighteen worm-type three ships and the even longer corpse planet floated slowly past like arrows piercing the sky.
The starry sky in the distance remains the same, and the huge extragalactic galaxies further away look just like ordinary stars.
In the process of human exploration of the universe, the most intuitive gift the universe has given to human beings is "loneliness".
The farther away from home, the easier it is for people to fall into the endless emptiness left by the universe to mankind.
But at this time, this emptiness is an illusion.
At a level invisible to the human eye, earth-shaking changes are taking place.
However, when the actual energy rules in the external environment change beyond a certain range, the monitoring equipment can detect some clues.
"Report, a violent quantum tidal surge is taking place in the outer space of the fleet. With us as the center of the sphere, the frequency of the birth and annihilation of real energy particles within a range of 50 billion kilometers is continuing to increase."
This is the first reference provided by the intelligence services.
The second piece of information came from intelligence agencies throughout the Morrowind Empire.
With the solar system as the center, and within a range of nearly 250 light-years, there are violent quantum tidal surges.
Immediately afterwards, the actual energy reincarnation frequency contours were drawn.
At this time, the contour lines look like an inverted water wave to the naked eye. The lines representing the intensity of the tidal surge are starting to retract from a range of 250 light-years, converging towards the location of the corpse planet.
And go.
There are no real unsolved mysteries in the universe.
Behind all seemingly abnormal supernatural phenomena, there must be reasons that are currently unknown to humans.
But this time, it was too abnormal and unreasonable.
Such a large area and large-scale abnormal quantum tidal surge occurring instantaneously at the same time is completely beyond human understanding of the universe.
That is a huge spherical area with a diameter of 250 light years.
Behind the abnormal tides is a change in the laws of space.
With only a simple calculation, it can be deduced that if the explosives produced by manpower were to achieve the same scale and instantaneously change the spatial laws, it would not be enough to burn the heat energy of all the stars in the entire galaxy.
Human beings cannot imagine what kind of great force can accomplish such a feat.
Some people even speculate secretly in despair.
Could it be that the super-level civilization behind the Compound Eyes finally took action in person and used cosmic-level "nuclear weapons" that destroyed the rules of the game?
In an empire where people are panicking, the people in the Corpse Planet Research Institute are extremely calm.
Only the intelligence team observes the external environment step by step, exchanges information with the empire, and then compiles the information and provides it to scientific researchers.
As for others, they put all their energy into the project of how to deenergize embryos.
The paranormal activity out there is strange, but that's about it.
It may or may not be related to the sage.
But since it is impossible to determine where the connection is and what impact it will have on the mission, then just ignore it and just do your own thing with peace of mind.
Another seven days passed like this, and the intelligence team finally obtained new data.
This is the result obtained by the most intelligent brain Fanxing, which used 90% of its computing power to analyze continuously for three days.
What causes the abnormal surge of quantum tide is "people".
Maybe it's not a human being, but at least it's the shadow of a human being.
Tens of billions of extremely tall humanoid shadows are squeezing each other layer by layer, approaching the corpse planet.
The scientific view that scholars have gradually formed over a long period of time has been overturned.
Many people even secretly wonder whether people really have souls.
Does the soul still exist after death?
Are these figures the souls of the dead in the past?
So why are there only tens of billions and not more?
Another seven days passed, and Fanxing was the first to get the answer.
What provides Fanxing with the answer is the memory Chen Feng copied to her.
These "people" are blanks.
In this timeline, there are blank people who took the initiative to let "Song of the World" infiltrate and mechanize their thinking in order to enhance their computing power.
But the stars have a list of self-sacrificing blanks in this timeline.
The number is far less than that, only a few billion people at most.
In addition, the origins of the tens of billions of blanks are beyond comprehension even by Fanxing.
From Chen Feng's "memory", his ninth, eighth... and even the first time in history that year.
Every time Chen Feng experiences resurrection from the dead, it spans at least a thousand years, and human beings will go through countless generations of reproduction.
Spanning tens of thousands of years, there were both those who sacrificed themselves and those who were innocently implicated, as well as the eight million Blanks created under Lei's control back then, all of them are here.
Fanxing "saw" many of the same people, and even saw five Sergey. Those were Sergey who were still infiltrated and brainwashed by "Song of the World" before getting "Morrowind".
Fanxing doesn't know what happened, and doesn't understand why these people who obviously shouldn't exist in this timeline appear, but that's the fact.
It seems that since their death, their so-called souls, that is, their personalities dissolved into the laws of the universe, have never been far away, but have been quietly approaching the solar system, and gathered together at this moment, triggering a quantum tide
