I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

"Your stupidity really amazes me."

The moment Tong Ling was about to lower her finger, a sudden scolding sound in her mind interrupted her movements.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked in her mind: "Brother T? Instructor Long?"

Chen Feng did not change his voice this time and used his own original voice, which was somewhere between T100 and Instructor Long, which made Tong Ling a little uncertain.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is your stupidity. Since the shielding field has taken effect, you have obviously controlled the situation. The battle has just started. But look at what you are thinking in your mind?"

"Are you ready to die generously? Do you think this is honorable? Bah! This is stupid! Being stupid to the extreme is bad!"

Chen Feng cursed ten times every second, scolding Tong Ling until her head was buzzing.

"But we want to avoid exposing the fleet. This is the safest way..."

"Sure! Do you think giving up before the fight is safe? Isn't it honorable to think about dying in battle and your reputation before the real battle begins? That's called cowardice, irresponsibility, and not courage. !”

"This is just the first unexpected situation the fleet has encountered in hundreds of years of voyage, and it is necessary to use the gecko tail-breaking tactic? How many tails can be broken along the way?"

"Throwing it all the way like this, the last peak combat power that has experienced the battlefield test will not be preserved. When the fleet arrives at the center of the galaxy by luck, how many old, weak, sick and disabled will be left?"

"Whole-brain link training can indeed make you close to the top warriors in terms of skills, but skills are not equal to abilities, only potential! Potential that is not converted into the blood of the enemy is meaningless."

"You are an expeditionary force that has gathered nearly half of the elite of all mankind! In order to train you, all mankind has exhausted its wisdom and spent countless huge resources. You really think that after you die, someone can easily take your place and be a good person for you. His successor?"

"Wrong, you are all wrong. Stop dreaming! The gap between the so-called S-class combatants newly born in the fleet and you is incalculable! I have to spend energy to create a new training plan for them! It may not be able to make them Reach your heights.”

"Are you really mentally prepared for the difficulty of the fleet's mission? Do you really think that just three or two kittens can destroy the base of the Compound Eyes in the center of the galaxy?"

"The so-called pursuit of stability should be aimed at pursuing the success rate of the mission, not just reaching the destination. Any pursuit of stability that does not take the ultimate goal as the highest purpose is nonsense."

"besides……"

In just three seconds, Tong Ling read a large amount of information passed by Chen Feng.

Chen Feng said a lot and cursed a lot.

But Tong Ling extracted from a large number of disturbing scoldings the central idea that Chen Feng wanted to express, which is the value of personal desire for survival.

Chen Feng told Tong Ling that only when every warrior with top potential exerts his desire to survive to the extreme, can the individual drive the collective and achieve the greatest breakthrough in the overall military capabilities of civilization.

Every soldier should keep in mind that his or her value is not just in the present, but always thinking about the future.

As long as one is alive, anything is possible.

Only when people are alive can they create new possibilities!

This is not to ask people to learn to be greedy for life and fear death, but to ask people to learn to re-examine the value of their own lives.

Only when you are truly helpless and must face death can you find the courage to sacrifice.

At other times, whenever there is an opportunity that is one in a billion, you should fight for it, do everything to the extreme, squeeze your own value to the extreme, and find the small hope hidden in the dark from the seemingly desperate situation. , grab it firmly in the palm of your hand, and then pull it with all your strength.

Hope is like an iceberg on the earth. It looks small, but there are treasures hidden under the water that can turn the world around.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Finally, Chen Feng asked.

Tong Ling nodded, "Yes. We should take our lives more seriously, control risks better, and see the relationship between risk-taking and stability-seeking more dialectically. Sometimes the essence of risk-taking is to seek stability. .”

"right."

Chen Feng finally grinned and said, "Go ahead."

Tong Ling rejected the applications of other captains.

Her move was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.

However, there was a delay of several seconds before and after, so there was no time to argue.

Two completely different reports were given to Qin Guang at the same time.

One copy was from other captains, requesting the fleet to evacuate immediately.

The other one was from Tong Ling, hoping that the fleet would wait an extra thirty seconds as planned.

The question was thrown in front of Qin Guang.

Qin Guangzheng wanted to adopt the proposals of other captains in accordance with the principle of the minority obeying the majority, but a highest-level guidance message suddenly popped up in his staff system.

This text message seems to have nothing to do with the situation in front of the fleet. It analyzes the thinking mode of today's human military from the perspective of the commander.

In the continuous struggle with the Compound Eyes, today's soldiers are accustomed to their own side being at a disadvantage, but in fact they have the advantage of technological crushing and can change the situation of the battle at any time.

For a long time, when human beings face the enemy's cannon fodder army, they have a sense of indifference and a sense of indifference, and arrogance has quietly developed.

This kind of arrogance does not mean underestimating the enemy, but whenever a key decision needs to be made, decision-makers will habitually think in a safer direction.

When encountering a new type of enemy that they have never seen before, people will always subconsciously think that this is just a temporary backwardness. As long as they continue to pile up manpower and equipment, continue to consume resources, and sacrifice some people in exchange for information, they will definitely be able to crack it. the other party’s methods.

This is both self-confidence, arrogance, and laziness.

Although no one admits it verbally, the fact is that many people are mentally prepared to wait for the final victory if they just stick to it step by step.

This phenomenon is especially evident at the command level.

So far, this group strategy seems to be fine. After all, the empire is now populous, vast, resource-rich, and its scholars are extremely creative.

As long as countless civilized individuals continue to contribute, the destiny of the group seems destined to be changed.

But this is just an illusion.

Arrogance makes decision-makers ignore the importance of individuals.

Even each individual himself despises himself.

Hidden dangers spread quietly.

People overlook one thing.

Always allowing the group to completely override the individual will suppress the individual's growth.

When faced with a situation that requires extreme individual abilities and the technological advantages that humans have established in the past are wiped out due to the mutation of the opponent, they will be blind.

Take the crystal tardigrade as an example. Assuming that tardigrades have the ability to survive attacks below a certain threshold, then no matter how many individuals are sacrificed, their deaths will be in vain.

Maybe everyone is dead in the end, and they still haven't found a way to defeat them, so humans will have to create super-giant fragmentation bombs in exchange for perishing together.

This result is a lose-lose situation, with no winners and no one wants it.

"Implement Captain Tong Ling's decision, just warm up the engine and wait for the battle report from the front. Everyone, please, try to defeat the opponent."

Qin Guang took one second to read the guidance information, and another 0.5 seconds to make decisions and issue orders.

Although the other captains were puzzled, they did not ask too much. Instead, they quickly adjusted their thinking and prepared to implement a seemingly impossible plan - to completely defeat the crystal tardigrades within thirty seconds and successfully return to the fleet.

"Execute plan A, super saturation attack test."

Sixty-six seconds later, hundreds of armors aimed at one point at the same time and launched a saturation concentrated attack.

The superposition of the power of explosions and explosions is not a simple addition, but a multiplication with linear attenuation.

The blast intensity created by hundreds of armors attacking one point at the same time was countless times that of Shan Centipede's single action just now, and it has already caught up with the main gun bombardment of the main battleship.

Three seconds later, the embers of the explosion dispersed slightly, the composite detector regained its effectiveness, and then sighs came one after another.

The tardigrade that was bombarded concentratedly expanded in size, reaching several kilometers in length. There was a dark glow on the outside of the body, but its forward speed was still stable and it was not injured at all.

Obviously, the saturation attack failed and failed to break through the energy-absorbing upper limit of the crystal tardigrade.

"Plan B, physical attack coverage."

Dozens of armors equipped with high-performance mass-energy conversion devices or with their own mass weapons rushed forward.

This time the warriors chose another tardigrade.

Five seconds later, everyone retreated, gnashing their teeth and feeling helpless.

The tardigrade chosen as the target was surrounded by a large number of elementary particles, and these particles were still disintegrating and returning to oscillating basic energy.

Failed again.

"Plan C, independent decision-making special weapons testing."

Part of the armor loaded with new weapons that had not yet been fully demonstrated moved forward, while a small amount of armor retreated, connecting energy modules in series, preparing to synthesize and activate fragmentation bombs in a final desperate attempt.

A few more seconds passed, and Plan C also declared bankruptcy.

"Make independent decisions and coordinate attacks until the armor's energy is exhausted, buying time for the fragmentation bomb!"

The field team voted unanimously.

After all, we have reached this point, and it’s time to try to die together.

At this time, Tong Ling's armor completed a brief rest, and then pounced forward again.

Her mind was racing at high speed.

She was thinking crazily about what she should do to reach the height of Instructor Long.

At the same time, she was also trying to figure out what the desire to survive was.

Obviously I have realized the problem, but why has nothing changed in the end? What is the problem?

What does it mean to truly be at the end of your rope?

Is it now?

But have I really done my best?

What haven't I done yet?

Should I put aside my stubbornness and join the battle as an armored warrior?

These disturbing questions have become a mess in Tong Ling's mind, and they continue to get messed up.

But she finally cut through the knot quickly and made a decision.

It's true that I haven't done my best yet, I haven't really become an armored warrior yet.

But I can't wait until I die without knowing my true level.

Tong Ling gritted her teeth and quickly pressed the switch button.

The protective layer of the loading bay around her suddenly opened, and countless bio-sensing fibers whizzed in from the front, wrapping her around. They had both nerve linking functions and body micro-current sensing functions.

After Tong Ling's brainstem was successfully connected directly to the T100's intellectual brain core, her scalp became numb and her whole body was electrified.

In the new Forge armor, the connection between the warrior and the armor's brain core becomes thought projection.

At this time, the human brain consciousness and the data in the super quantum intelligence brain are deeply overlapped to achieve an effect of infinitely close to zero delay.

But the intellectual brain core in T100 is different from that in other people's armors. It is Chen Feng's thought resonance projection. The amount of information it contains is countless times that of others. Moreover, because Chen Feng's projection operation rules are closer to real people, the depth of the synchronization link is also far greater. Not comparable to others.

Therefore, Tong Ling was unable to withstand the impact of the link at all. She was involved in the "memory" of T100 and "comatose" on the battlefield.

Just when Tong Ling was unconscious, the crystal tardigrade in front of her made different movements.

It seemed like they had finally absorbed enough energy.

Ripples like water waves suddenly appeared on the surface of the two largest tardigrades at the front, and the ripples spread out, wrapping the other tardigrades behind them.

Countless winding threads of light spread out, combining all the tardigrades into an organic whole.

"They are exchanging energy and tissue with each other. The two largest ones are using their energy to feed the other tardigrades. They are starting to evolve."

The fleet's combat staff exclaimed.

After a blink of an eye, more than sixty tardigrades completed their evolution. Their appearance looked the same as before, but their average size was more than fifty meters in length.

The head of the tardigrade began to emit light like a star.

The dense rays of light emitted from the heads of different tardigrades, and then gathered together in groups.

On average, the lights on the heads of every five tardigrades eventually come together and form a beam.

These entangled beams curve and extend forward quickly, but they will disappear out of thin air at a certain location, reappear near a certain human armor, and tightly wrap the human armor.

These beams of light are just like the tardigrade itself, always breaking through space and emerging out of thin air.

Human beings can't find the slightest sign in the third dimension and can't avoid it at all.

Any armor wrapped in a beam of light immediately became unable to move, and then quickly melted and disintegrated like ice and snow under the scorching sun. The armor and body were transformed back into original energy, which was quickly absorbed by the tardigrade and became its nutrients.

No one screamed, and the communicator was quiet.

There is no brilliant explosion of light in the universe, nor the explosions that usually occur when other matter is destroyed.

Human beings are being quietly melted and swallowed by each other.

The names on the death list popped up one after another.

Bai Xiang, Sun Tongwen, Shan Centipede and others were killed one after another.

However, Tong Ling's team did not suffer the most serious casualties. Other teams had even been completely wiped out.

There is less and less time left for field armor units.

In the fleet command room, the adjutant said to Qin Guang: "Let's go, there is nothing we can do."

Qin Guang looked at the timer out of the corner of his eye and said, "Wait a minute, there are still ten seconds left as agreed."

How much can happen in ten seconds? No one can answer this question.

At this moment, Tong Ling suddenly woke up, opened her eyes, and moved her five fingers together to activate the T100's kinetic energy distribution system to 100%.

A total of thirty-six fold, curvature and medium engines on T100 were opened at the same time, and the armor roared forward again.

Each of these three engines has different application scenarios. In most cases, only two of them can be used at the same time, otherwise it is easy to lose control.

But Tong Ling just did it.

But at this moment, her eyes were empty and her mind was blank.

She is still in a coma and has not yet awakened.

She is participating in the battle of the shadow galaxy that took place in the previous timeline in T100's "memory".

Time passed quickly in her mind, and she was only one step away from completing the task.

Her mind has become one with Chen Feng in the previous timeline.

Outside she didn't even know what she was doing.

Six thousandths of a second later, T100 reappeared directly in front of the tardigrade at the front.

Tong Ling's right hand in the armored cockpit shook slightly, and a thin war blade with a handle density three times the material density of a neutron star emerged from the palm of the T100 outside.

The outer layer of the war blade is wrapped in a curvature bubble layer, but the surface of the blade inside is spread with a layer of granular real energy.

This part of the actual energy is generated briefly by Tong Ling through the simulation generator on the T100. It can only exist in the universe for less than a ten thousandth of a second, but it is just enough to reach the blade from the armor's war arm.

T100 lightly swung its knife at the tardigrade in front.

This knife was very strange. It seemed ordinary, but the blade disappeared out of thin air when it was struck in mid-air.

Under the impact of the real energy shock, multiple engines started to pull each other at the same time, causing space chaos and interference. Tong Ling's knife struck outside the triple space, and then crossed the space barrier and fell directly on the crystal tardigrade.

Unlike others, the energy contained in the knife she slashed was not absorbed. Instead, she actually slashed forward, creating a huge hole in the body of the tardigrade, which was about fifty meters long. Breach.

But there were no internal organs in the breach, only clusters of colorful streams of light, like a time tunnel.

A large number of colorful streams of light poured out from the breach. These streams of light were not real light, but pure energy.

Qin Guang, members of the headquarters, and the other surviving soldiers all looked sideways.

No one knows what happened.

Why was she able to accomplish the same thing in vain when others did it before?

"Tong Ling's parameters have changed."

The adjutant reminded abruptly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Guang immediately opened Tong Ling's personal information.

Her whole-brain link simulation training assessment data changed dramatically.

The original 13.54 in front disappeared, the brackets in the back and the 91.77 inside also disappeared, leaving only 99.999..., infinitely close to the level of "Dragon".

Qin Guang looked up to the sky and sighed, "We were wrong, we were all wrong."

At this moment, he finally knew what the value of the pinnacle warriors was, and what the mistakes of today's human beings were.
