Tang Tianxin had a calm smile on his face, 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 gently, "Now we have no need to mate, so just come and play a game of chess with me."
Chen Feng sat down.
Halfway through the chess game, the black piece he was holding was 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 always different, but the result is constant.
In the past, Chen Feng felt that such failure made him feel boring, and he reluctantly persisted just for the fun of chess exercise.
But Tang Tianxin never tired of it, as if he would never get tired of it.
"I said, you keep beating me like this, why not play against AI? That's a bit challenging at least. You have no sense of participation at all against a bad chess player like me, right?"
Chen Feng casually threw the chess pieces on the table and raised his hands to admit defeat.
Tang Tianxin smiled, pointed at the chessboard and said, "I will always lose when I play against AI, and I will always win when I play against you. The result is always the same. Of course, it is more interesting to play against you."
Chen Feng asked: "Interesting? You mean winning this matter will make you feel happy?"
Tang Tianxin nodded, "Winning is of course better than losing. And playing chess with people, you can experience more diversity than AI. Even the most perfect artificial intelligence cannot perfectly simulate the uncertainty of human thinking. Just like your first
This kind of mistake made by the fourth son can never be simulated by AI."
She pointed a finger, and playback started on the light screen behind her.
Chen Feng looked up and asked, "Or even if the AI plays like this, in the middle of the game, you will find that this is not a mistake, but a trap?"
"right."
"So, I have a question." Chen Feng leaned forward a little and asked in a slightly oppressive tone: "Since you can feel the emotional changes when you lose and win, then you should have feelings.
So what do you think of the experiences we two have had over the past six months?"
Tang Tianxin quickly replied: "The logic I have learned tells me under what circumstances I should be happy, what kind of feelings are necessary, and what kind of feelings are of little significance."
Chen Feng got the answer he wanted, nodded and left.
"Okay, I know everything."
Including Tang Tianxin, Ou Qinglan, and even everyone Chen Feng has known so far, they are the same.
Everyone chooses an ever-changing tone for themselves, and then builds their own logical framework based on this tone, and allows this logical framework to override their own emotional instincts.
This is not only the inevitable demand under the current crisis, but also the result of human self-evolutionary choices.
Chen Feng returned to the combat readiness cabin where the Qinglong Armor operators gathered.
Pound and many team members were waiting for him in formation.
According to the requirements of the rules and regulations, he, a captain at the captain level, should conduct a brief pre-war mobilization.
This is really not something that Chen Feng is good at. He has always set an example through his own actions and will not speak high-sounding words.
Coupled with his personal pessimism, he does not believe that his words can have any positive mobilizing effect.
He just put his hands behind his back, staggered back and forth, and remained silent for a full ten minutes. When the atmosphere reached a certain level of solemnity, he said: "Everyone, you can raise an army for a thousand days, and use it for a while. We have consumed a lot of social resources, and we are not prepared for possible emergencies.
The enemy has prepared countless plans. When the enemy appears, our central brain will choose the optimal overall response plan within 0.1 second. Our captain will complete all instructions and layouts within five seconds.
And we, as a Blue Dragon Armor warrior, what we should do is to figure out in one second what role we should play in this war, and carry out our mission without hesitation! My words
That’s it, take a break!”
After announcing that the queue was disbanded, Chen Feng returned to his room.
As for the other Green Dragon Armor warriors, they each cooperated with the operation assistant for final inspection to ensure that their equipment was in perfect preparation for war.
Ou Qinglan is in charge of Chen Feng's equipment. After half a year of running in, the two of them now work together very well.
"Chen Feng, your equipment is fine and you are on standby at any time."
Ou Qinglan knocked on the door of his lounge room, walked in and said.
Chen Feng nodded, "Thank you."
Looking at Ou Qinglan's irrecoverable full head of silver hair and round face with a little baby fat, he thought for a while and asked: "Dr. Ou, I heard that you also studied anthropology in your spare time, right?
"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"Do you think the evolutionary direction chosen by modern humans is in line with expectations? Will actively stripping humans of the rich emotions that distinguish them from ordinary animals really help face unknown enemies?"
Ou Qinglan raised her eyebrows, "Are you confused?"
"certainly."
"Actually, there is no answer to your question. Neither Pangu Academy, which specializes in biotechnology, nor Suzaku Academy, which specializes in humanities technology, has a conclusive answer. This topic runs through the entire history of human evolution, from ancient times to contemporary times. Every war,
Plague, every time it causes a major social change, is an exploration."
"We can't judge whether we did it right or wrong before seeing the result. We can only use the final answer to infer whether the problem-solving process is accurate. Fortunately, human civilization still exists so far, which proves that our
The route is correct."
Chen Feng asked: "Maybe it's just because the crises we faced in the past were not big enough?"
"Maybe. The cost of trial and error in this exploration is very high, too high to bear, but it can only be tolerated."
…
Following a huge explosion that was extremely brilliant, Chen Feng's world returned to silence.
He floated quietly in a dark nothingness, waiting for his soul to return to his place, waiting for another awakening.
Before that, his mind was fixed on the moment when Tang Tianxin's eyes widened and he stared at the chess piece in his hand in great surprise.
Chen Feng miscalculated one thing, and all the commanders of mankind also miscalculated this thing.
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 remained relaxed until 8 a.m. on October 27, 2020, when he was dispatched as the commander of the special operations team to lead the team to fly out of the battleship and be dropped into space ten kilometers away from the battleship.
They were not placed on the periphery of the front line to act as human shields, but were inserted into the gaps between many warships in the entire left wing fleet.
The Blue Dragon Armor warriors were not a suicide squad who died in vain. They were dispatched in advance just to prevent the situation from changing too quickly. In the event of a boarding battle, they would not even have a chance to leave the cabin.
October 27, 3020 AD, 9:43 am.
Chen Feng ordered the use of coagulation serum. He was the last person among all special operations detachment captains to issue the order, but no one questioned his delay.
He is more nervous than everyone else.
Not only did he turn on the power of the detection equipment to the maximum, he also adjusted his personal mental state to the most sensitive level.
He can swear that no matter what posture the enemy approaches or from which direction he approaches, he will be able to react immediately.
But the universe is still silent at this moment, and the stars are still bright.
"The forward fleet reported that no enemy was found!"
"The left wing fleet..."
"Right wing fleet..."
At nine forty-five, reports from all major fleets were transmitted through the quantum network and rang in his ears one after another.
Chen Feng's eyes were dark and he was still staring at the night sky.
There was a trace of luck 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? Or are they dormant?
Buzz…
As soon as this thought arose, a shocking flash of light erupted from the position of the forward fleet cluster in the distance of his field of vision.
A strong light lights up.
Still no sound could be heard, only the flashes of explosive light one after another.
The big explosion happened again without warning.
Compared to watching TV on the ground as a subsistence household, being in space personally, the impact of being a member of it is hundreds of times stronger.
The hair on Chen Feng's body stood on end and goosebumps appeared on his skin.
coming.
But where is the enemy!
"Enemy attack..."
Finally, a scream came clearly to his ears, but the sound stopped suddenly.
The corner of his eye glanced at the lower right corner of his helmet, which showed the source of the signal, which was the forward fleet.
Immediately afterwards, the forward fleet completely lost contact.
Countless battleships, as well as more Azure Dragon Armor warriors densely packed around the battleships, did not make the slightest resistance and were drowned in the aftermath of the big explosion.
Chen Feng's mind went blank, leaving only endless confusion.
Where is the enemy!
Where is it?
Why were they all destroyed!
"Weiwei, enable all-channel information access! Who can tell me how the explosion came about?"
"Captain, be careful! Little..."
A scream rang out from his helmet, and Chen Feng turned around to see that the body of Pound, who was wearing Azure Dragon Armor, had been cut into two pieces by the fragments shot out at an alarming speed after a battleship exploded not far away.
The sacrifice report was quickly automatically generated and projected on his helmet.
Just now, Pound's brain took the lead in calculating within 0.01 seconds that the fragment that was about to pass by his side would hit Chen Feng.
He then took another 0.1 seconds to make a decision, increased the acceleration to 20g, completed a small maneuver, blocked the fragment for Chen Feng, and changed its direction.
There was no time to grieve. Chen Feng gritted his teeth and shouted to the others: "Everyone disperse and maneuver! Stay away from the battleship! Pay attention to self-protection!"
There was no extra time to think, and everyone scattered according to his order.
As for Chen Feng himself, he didn't know where to escape.
His intuition told him that he should continue to stay away from the Tianxin.
This is most in line with his original intention, to live for a few more seconds.
But his emotions told him that at this time, he really wanted to return to the Tianxin.
The forward fleet has all exploded, and the next one is the center or flank fleet. No one can be spared.
In the end, he fully increased the power to 50g in an instant, and rushed towards the Tianxin like a cannonball.
When he was halfway through the journey, he finally received the information compiled by the artificial intelligence assistant Weiwei.
"According to Dr. Ou Qinglan's use of her newly developed energy detection instrument, when all explosions occurred, the energy release sources were inside each warship, some from the command room, and some from the captain's private room. This news has been reported to the entire military
Notification.”
Chen Feng still rushed back firmly.
"I received a notice from the superior captain Tang Tianxin, requesting Captain Chen Feng to stay away from the Tianxin."
The reminder sounded in my ears again.
Chen Feng ignored it and forced the Tianxin to open the loading bay, otherwise he would crash into it.
Three seconds later, the loading bay of the Tianxin opened and Chen Feng rushed in.
Then he did not wait until the air was filled, but with the assistance of Qinglong Kai-kai, he used an alloy knife to split open the internal structure of the battleship and rushed towards the command room.
Then he saw the scene of Tang Tianxin holding a white chess piece in his hand and standing there blankly.
A frantic alarm sounded in his ears.
"Warning! Severe energy fluctuations are detected ahead!"
"Warning! Ahead..."
Inside the helmet, the glaring red light representing extreme danger almost blinded him temporarily, and the shrill siren pierced his eardrums.
The chess piece in Tang Tianxin's hand looked ordinary, but the command room in Chen Feng's field of vision had a vague and vague sway as if it had been soaked in water.
This is because the short-term release of energy in a small space is 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 time travel spanning a thousand years has once again come to an end in such a tragic manner.
Likewise, humanity was defeated again.
In the vast universe, human beings are like a toddler wolf in the prairie. Maybe one day he will become the wolf king, but unfortunately he encountered a hungry cheetah when he was still young.
Humanity has perished.
again.
Like a lost wolf cub being torn to pieces by a cheetah on the grassland.
It seems cruel, but it is a sad disaster for the entire race.
But this heroic process is basically the same as the bacterial flora on the young wolf that died tragically.
When the sample is enlarged, in the infinite universe, there is no essential difference between the death of an individual and the death of a group.
This is the law of nature, but the space is enlarged from the grassland to the universe.
Human civilization, which is still in its infancy, has unfortunately been hunted.
In the vast and vast universe, this is insignificant and does not even leave a commemorative tombstone.
Only Chen Feng will continue to return to reality with this painful memory.
In the past, he used to be secretly proud of himself for getting this "golden finger", but now he just wants to complain bitterly, why did you choose me?
Why doesn't Goldfinger choose a more powerful host and let him take on this responsibility?
I would rather be a mortal, even if it's a little poorer, a little miserable, a little humble, and just live a simple life, can't I?
Chen Feng asked himself this question over and over again, and then more questions emerged again.
Chen Feng didn't know if he was sleeping at this time, or if his soul was wandering in the long river of time and space, looking for its destination thousands of years ago.
His thinking was very clear, and he even completely remembered everything he saw before the explosion engulfed him.
He even remembered the tears representing regret and self-blame in the corners of Tang Tianxin's eyes.
Chen Feng thought to himself, what exactly was Tang Tianxin regretting and blaming herself for? She had done nothing wrong.
Isn't she accustomed to putting logic over emotions? Then she should face failure more calmly.
Why are you crying?
If it was based on his past habits, when faced with a problem that he couldn't figure out, he would decisively and neatly forget about it.
But this time he couldn't do it.
On the one hand, it was obsession, but on the other hand, he discovered that even if his body was dead, his spirit became high after being injected with the coagulation serum, and the effect of enhancing his logical thinking ability seemed to still remain on him.
After a long time, Chen Feng opened his eyes in horror and sat up straight again.
He looked at the time on the phone next to his pillow again.
It's back again.
Some thoughts that he had not sorted out before slowly became entangled in his mind, forming memories with clear connections.
He figured something out.
It was a huge conspiracy that made him feel horrified just thinking about it.
Humanity has not perished at its own hands.
The enemy still existed, but it was more sinister and despicable than the upright and stupid aliens in the countless science fiction works he had seen.
