Chapter 877 Faith will last forever (for Cz, 10/10)
February 4th, Saturday.
Lu Zhiyao was in the hotel where he was staying, having just finished eating the Moyu takeaway.
Today is the weekend and the crew is also on break.
Generally speaking, the crew does not take holidays on weekends. After all, most movies are in a hurry, and the crew's shooting tasks are also very tight. Not to mention weekends and holidays, even at night, they often shoot late into the night in order to catch up on work.
But since this is a Tengda crew, they must abide by the Tengda spirit and have weekends off.
Fortunately, directors Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce are both masters of time management, and they still arranged the shooting clearly even though they had rest during the holidays.
Of course, this movie is basically a one-man show by Lu Zhiyao, and there are not many outdoor scenes. It is all special effects. There is no need to coordinate the time of a large number of actors, venues, and props, so there will be more freedom in scheduling.
So far, the filming of the "Mission and Choice" movie has progressed to the last part.
After the filming of the first few parts was completed, editing and special effects production were already underway. Because it would obviously be too late to edit and do special effects after the entire movie was shot.
The plot of this movie is divided into stages, and each stage is not very closely related, so it is no problem to edit and do special effects separately.
After the filming of the last part is completed, the rough editing and special effects of the previous parts are almost done. Finally, after two or three months of fine editing, and the special effects are improved, the movie can be released.
Now, Lu Zhiyao's main task is to figure out the last stage of the script, act out the last part of the plot, and create a perfect ending.
He just got the last stage of the script last night, but he was too tired when he came back, so he fell asleep without having time to read it carefully.
After a good sleep today, after breakfast, Lu Zhiyao took out the script again and prepared to read the last part of the plot.
The previous plot ended at a very desperate point.
Qin Yi ushered in the "final decisive battle" and tried his best to direct the battle, thinking that he could finally die a worthy death and be freed from this difficult fate.
However, after the battle, he realized that this was just the final test of the AEEIS simulation.
The good news is that everything that happened before was false and no one died.
The bad news is that AEEIS simulated the outcome of the final battle between humans and Zerg, and the winning rate was zero. The best outcome is that the commander and the Zerg Queen died together, and the next commander was selected to prepare for the next decisive battle.
But the next battle will become increasingly difficult, and humanity's chances of winning will become lower and lower. Because of the existence of the Hive Mind, the wisdom of the Zerg Queen will continue to improve, and the Zerg's ability to replenish its troops will be higher than that of humans.
If we cannot achieve an overwhelming victory in this crucial battle and take this opportunity to dispatch all our troops to clear out the remnants of the Zerg, then humanity will have less and less chance in the future.
What made Qin Yi even more desperate was that he re-examined every decision he had made, but no matter how hard he racked his brains to analyze and what strategies he used, he could not change the fact that the final battle was a complete failure.
Qin Yi shoulders the destiny of all mankind, but this destiny is destruction.
He doesn't know when this day will come, and he doesn't know if his persistence is meaningful. Even a warrior like him who is used to life and death cannot bear all this and can only sink in despair...
Lu Zhiyao became even more curious about the ending of this story, and quickly opened the last part of the script to read it carefully.
…
A close-up of Qin Yi in the sleeping cabin.
There was also such a close-up at the very beginning of the film, but there were obvious differences between the two shots.
This time, Qin Yi's hair was messy, his beard was unkempt, his eyes were dull, his expression was dull, his haggard face and heavy dark circles all showed that his mental state was extremely poor.
Although he was in a sleeping cabin, his eyes were staring directly upward, blinking once for a long time, telling everyone that he did not die suddenly.
He couldn't fall asleep in the hibernation cabin. It was obvious that his mental pressure was reaching its limit.
And this angular sleeping cabin, which can accommodate just one person, looks like a coffin.
The voice of AEEIS sounded: "Commander, your mental state is extremely unstable and your physical condition is also very poor. You need to rest."
"I have arranged an extra two hours of rest for you, please fall asleep as soon as possible."
"Your body not only belongs to you, it also belongs to all mankind. If you die suddenly before the decisive battle, then mankind will completely lose its only remaining hope."
Qin Yi did not answer, but stretched out his slightly trembling hands, supported the wall of the dormant cabin, stood up, and sat on the ground with his back against the dormant cabin.
He closed his eyes gently and rested his mind for a moment.
In fact, he knew very well that the final battle between humans and Zerg could come at any time. This time did not depend on humans, but on Zerg.
Qin Yi chuckled and said self-deprecatingly: "A fate that must perish, whether it comes sooner or later, what difference does it make?"
"Oh no, there is still a difference. If it comes later, I will have to suffer for a few more days."
AEEIS: "Commander, your mental state is very detrimental to the upcoming battle."
"If you agree, I will inject you with tranquilizers and nutrients so that you can fully rest and stay calm before the final battle."
"After adequate rest, I hope you can resume training as soon as possible. You have not conducted any simulation training for 53 consecutive hours, which may aggravate human injuries during the battle..."
However, before AEEIS finished speaking, the entire space began to flash a red warning again!
"Commander, there are a large number of Zerg gathering underground, and the Zerg's general attack is about to begin!"
"No matter what, please return to the console immediately to command the battle!"
Qin Yi closed his eyes slightly and ignored AEEIS. He was silent for a moment, and then said with a cold face: "I want to call everyone in the combined fleet."
Although Qin Yi is the commander, his command is only to issue attack instructions to each formation, and all specific commands are carried out by AEEIS.
AEEIS was silent for two seconds, seeming to be trying hard to analyze the true intention behind Qin Yi's words, but it obviously failed.
"I'm sorry, Commander, you don't have such authority."
"Please return to the console immediately and start commanding the battle, otherwise AEEIS will take over the command of the combined fleet."
Qin Yi was unmoved, with a cold expression: "If you think the life and death of mankind is more important than this call, then that's up to you."
"I only need five minutes."
AEEIS fell silent again.
Qin Yi did not urge him, but continued to look ahead blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
The red alarm in the space is still flashing. Through Ancebo communication, Qin Yi can clearly see that the dense sea of insects is gathering on the surface of the planet, and the war is about to break out!
A moment later, AEEIS's emotionless voice sounded again: "Commander, your actions are meaningless. The amount of information that AEEIS's real-time communication can transmit is thousands of times that of human language."
"Humans' inefficient information transmission and emotional expression may have counter-effects. When some truths are known to everyone, mankind will fall into chaos and internal strife. The Joint Fleet Executive Committee does not want to take such risks."
"Commander, please stay rational and don't make such meaningless attempts again."
Qin Yi said coldly: "AEEIS, let me say it for the last time. I want to use the console and Ansible communication to speak to all the soldiers of the combined fleet. If you obstruct me, then you, me, and all mankind will do it together.
It’s time to perish.”
"You are just a stupid robot who tries to solve all problems with data. If you can solve the Zerg, the combined fleet will not choose me as its commander."
"Let me say it one last time, I am the commander, fulfill my request!"
With the red alert flashing continuously, it took nearly a minute before AEEIS said again: "Commander, you can use the console to speak to all the soldiers of the combined fleet."
"The fate of mankind rests on you. I hope your speech has been carefully considered."
Qin Yi stood up from the ground with support from his hands, walked slowly to the console, and then sat down in his seat.
Here, he could see all the deployment of the human combined fleet.
Qin Yi used Ansebo communication to randomly observe the personnel inside several starships to make sure that what he said could indeed be heard by everyone.
He could see confusion, anxiety, panic and confusion on the faces of the soldiers inside the starship, which meant that what he saw should be real-time images, because AEEIS should not be able to imitate every human expression so realistically.
At the same time, this also shows that all the soldiers were very surprised that the commander suddenly wanted to address all the personnel.
Because since the beginning of the war, all commanders have commanded their troops through the artificial intelligence AEEIS. The soldiers can only communicate with AEEIS and have no idea who the commander is, what he looks like, or which spacecraft he is on.
But this time, they not only heard the commander's voice, but also saw his appearance.
Only a handful of people in the Asian fleet who knew Qin Yi recognized him.
The vast majority of the soldiers of the combined fleet only saw a man with an unshaven beard, heavy dark circles under his eyes, and a very poor mental state on the screen. This was completely different from the image of the commander they imagined.
Qin Yi's eyes once again swept across the faces of many soldiers.
He knows that every person he controls in the war is actually a living life.
In the future, in the decisive battle between humans and Zerg, there will definitely be people who disobey orders, run away in extreme panic, or make mistakes. And these people may be in the starship at this time, waiting to hear themselves speak. Maybe they are these young faces.
One of the holes.
The first words Qin Yi spoke made everyone stunned.
"I was Qin Yi, the captain of the AS-371-45 team that successfully performed the decapitation mission, and I am also the current commander of the combined fleet."
"I hope to tell you some truth before mankind perishes."
"The Zerg are already preparing for the final attack."
"According to AEEIS's deductions, the winning rate in the final battle between humans and Zerg is zero. Even in the best case scenario, the Queen of Zerg and I will die together, and humanity will eventually perish in a long tug-of-war."
"In the past fifty or so hours, I have tried countless ways, but no matter how I try, the final result will not change."
"I believe that all of you, like me, are tired of hiding and deceiving."
"In order to fight against the Zerg, every commander is working hard to train humans into Zerg, and through various methods, deceives humans into having wrong beliefs and dying like Zerg."
"Maybe we have won in this way, but this is definitely not human belief and the way to win!"
"So, even if all of us will die in the end, I hope you can all die with faith!"
Qin Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and he who had been decadent before seemed to suddenly glow with a strong light: "You can choose to escape from the battlefield, disobey orders, and survive for a few more hours; you can convince yourself with ten thousand reasons.
In front of a sea of hundreds of millions of insects, your death is meaningless; you can also blame the fault on the executive committee, the commander, or anyone after losing again and again."
"But the end result will be the same."
"Blue Star will be swallowed up by the swarm of insects, and you will watch your home be destroyed by the war and become the bait of the worms! A few of you will drive a spaceship to escape hastily, wandering in the vast universe, like a bereaved dog!
When you look back at Blue Star, the once beautiful blue planet has become devastated and riddled with holes. All traces of human existence will be completely erased by the claws and fangs of the Zerg!"
Qin Yi's voice became high-pitched, shouting almost at the top of his lungs: "At that time, you will regret why you didn't die on the front line, why you didn't die on the battlefield with the Zerg! Those who choose to live in an ignoble existence, even if they are alive,
I will live in eternal regret and chagrin!"
"You will regret why you didn't use these few hours of living in vain for another opportunity, an opportunity to prove human faith!"
"Yes, for everyone, things after death are meaningless, because what greets us will be eternal nothingness. But our death, for the living, for our relatives, friends, and compatriots, is
Meaningful!”
"AEEIS calculated that the final winning rate is zero, but I will never agree with this result. Because artificial intelligence can never calculate the value of human belief!"
"If we lose this battle, then humanity will perish, our civilization will disappear from this universe forever, and all evidence of our existence will be completely erased!"
"But if we win, then your death will be remembered by civilization and history!"
"Behind us is Blue Star!"
"In this last battle, we will give meaning to all the previous sacrifices of mankind! We will die vigorously, we will be drowned in the endless sea of worms, we will be wiped out in the explosion, and we will be wiped out by the claws of the worms.
No bones remain!"
"But our beliefs will remain in this starry sky forever, just like those eternal stars, they will last forever!"
"Humanity's faith will never be erased!"
"Fighters, join me, risk everything for the fate of mankind, and die generously!!"
