……
As time passed and the warships were destroyed one after another, two people finally regained consciousness.
Zhao Xin and Li Wei.
"Are you Li Wei? I'm Zhao Xin, and I'm here to see you."
"Hello, I'm glad you're still alive." - Li Wei
"Captain, I've made a discovery, but I don't have the necessary authorization. I need your help."
"I... I don't have enough authority either..." Li Wei.
"I analyzed the battlefield's light map and discovered that the fleet system was completely wrong; we were fighting our own people."
"This? Really?"
"Don't think I'm crazy. We're friends. You know me."
Li Wei: "Then what kind of weapon did they use?"
After a thorough analysis, the two concluded that the answer was the droplet of the Trisolarans.
……
After hundreds of thousands of men from the three fleets had no idea how they died, the answer was finally found.
Even though they knew it was a water droplet attack, the combined fleet was helpless.
One hour and twenty minutes later, the combined fleet's space forces were completely annihilated.
Only the Quantum and Bronze Age, following Ding Yi's advice, prepared their mental state in advance and became the only survivors of this great destruction.
Immediately, the water droplet left its battlefield and turned to fly towards the sun.
The scenes unfolding before our eyes have finally brought humanity to its senses.
Recognize the technological gap between humans and the Trisolarans.
But the price of this sobriety is far too heavy.
Now humans on Earth can finally cry!
……
The video continues playing.
The scene changes.
Arriving on the Earth's surface.
Shi Qiang's son, Shi Xiaoming, shook his head and sighed, exclaiming, "We're all broken! We're all broken!"
"The collective spirit has collapsed!"
"All the cities are in complete chaos, almost out of control, no, it's like time has passed."
Yes!
When news of the easy destruction of humanity's three major fleets by the droplets reached Earth, human society descended into chaos.
All of them are mentally unstable.
...
Because the end of the world is coming!
The true sunset of humanity!
Government officials couldn't handle it either, and they didn't want to manage it.
Fortunately, the hibernating community where Luo Ji lived consisted of older people who were able to withstand pressure and had not yet reached a state of complete loss of control.
Waaaaah....
Modern people weep uncontrollably, embracing each other, a sense of despair permeating everyone's heart.
"Quiet down!" Shi Qiang shouted.
The modern-day CEO sobbed, desperately trying to suppress his emotions, but the more he thought about it, the more he broke down.
The more people thought about it, the less they could accept this heavy reality.
Bill Hines shook his head at this: "What a bunch of kids."
He attended the meeting as a resident representative.
He was the only one who benefited from the destruction of the Combined Fleet.
At this moment, reality is completely in line with his mental imprint.
In fact, before he recovered, he was tormented by defeatist ideology day and night, and almost lost his mind.
The doctors in the hospital couldn't treat him either, so Luo Ji and others gave him an idea: to use a virtual environment to create an environment where the Trisolarans would defeat the human fleet.
Just like VR, but the virtual environment in this era is already quite mature, and it can almost be indistinguishable from reality.
The community health worker was responsible for treating him and was very happy to help Hines.
In his imagination, the three human fleets were repeatedly defeated by the Trisolaran fleet, and were completely powerless to resist.
Moreover, humans fail every day without repeating themselves.
But reality is cruel!
Humanity's failures are far more devastating than community health officials imagined.
Not to mention the shadow of the Trisolaran fleet, a single droplet of water destroyed humanity's 2008 stellar war record.
To give an analogy, it's like a MABA game. You imagine losing a game where all three lanes are completely destroyed, you don't get any jungle resources, and in the end, you have to defend your base and put up a desperate fight.
In reality, it only took three minutes to push all the way to the house, and the crystal exploded.
Moreover, the opposing team wasn't even a first-team team, and they weren't even considered youth training players.
……
Bill Hines is now in good spirits, but the community health worker who treated him has gone mad!
Chapter 60: Starship Earth Humanity, the Final Decision!
crazy!
All crazy!
The order of the human world is about to collapse. In the war between the Trisolarans and humanity, humanity's space force has been completely wiped out.
Next, only death awaits humanity.
Now how to do?
How to do?
Looking at these helpless children, Hines, Luo Ji, and Da Shi didn't know what to say.
All we can do is try our best to maintain the present.
If destruction is inevitable, then only death awaits humanity.
Luo Ji thought of the child and Zhuang Yan.
……
Many dimensional worlds across the myriad realms, upon watching this video, could only sigh with emotion.
"Alas! These humans, who were so arrogant before, are now being dealt such a heavy blow."
"They really are a bunch of kids, all they do is chatter and make a fuss. When faced with a real disaster, they can't do anything."
"After so many years of development, it's time for Earth's civilization to truly mature!"
"Tsk! I suddenly thought of Zhang Beihai. Everything Zhang Beihai is doing right now is so..."
"I cannot comment on Zhang Beihai; he is a self-assured believer and a master of his own thoughts."
"Seeing this group of people, the '410 Office,' collapse reminds me of Zhang Beihai's conversation with the Asian Commander. The theory of the future historians, which seems wrong to modern people, has now been proven correct. Therefore, Zhang Beihai is protecting his own faith!"
"A lone hero going against the tide!"
"Humans are ultimately foolish and think they are clever. Even if they overcome this difficulty, they will probably make the same mistakes again."
……
At this very moment, strange phenomena once again appeared frequently above the heavens and myriad realms.
Boom~
…………
Thunder rumbled and flashed continuously above each dimension, intertwining like clouds.
Such an astonishing phenomenon meant that the video would continue playing.
The screen started flickering.
When the light flickers in the dark environment, people can see that it is in the universe.
The Natural Selection spacecraft.
Zhang Beihai woke up from his sleep; he had slept for exactly fifteen hours.
Unbeknownst to them, the combined human fleet was completely destroyed by the water droplets, resulting in total annihilation.
However, this fifteen-hour sleep was the longest he had ever slept outside of hibernation.
At that moment, he felt a sense of rebirth.
He gazed at the starlight outside, as if his father were watching over him, but now it was gone.
Zhang Beihai straightened his military uniform; it was time to go out.
He was prepared to face countless condemning and scornful glances, but he would not regret it, much less repent; he was simply fulfilling the duty of a soldier.
The corridor was deserted, and Zhang Beihai continued walking, feeling quite relaxed.
Upon entering the warship's largest spherical hall, Dongfang Yanxu walked towards him expressionlessly.
At that moment, Zhang Beihai desperately wished he was wrong.
But he proved to be right, as Dongfang Yanxu saluted him.
Behind Dongfang Yanxu were numerous members of the Natural Selection fleet, who also saluted, paying their highest respects.
Not just members of Natural Selection.
The spaceship's holographic projection had already been activated, and Zhang Beihai saw not only Captain Dongfang Yanxu, but also the four captains chasing him, totaling more than 5,000 people.
At this moment, background music starts playing in the video, which is sad and melancholic!
But the overall message of this background music is positive and uplifting.
"Blue Space of the Asian Fleet, Chu Yan!"
"USS Enterprise, North American Fleet!..."
"The Asia Fleet's Deep Space!"
"The European Fleet's Ultimate Law!..."
Finally, Dongfang Yanxu spoke, saluting just like them: "The Asian Fleet, Natural Selection!"
"Senior, the five interstellar warships you preserved for humanity are now the entirety of humanity's space fleet."
"Now, I obey your command."
……
hum~~~
Increase the volume of the background music!
Now, everyone who watched the video understands how precious Zhang Beihai's spirit is.
No one understood what he did, and he could not tell anyone.
A solitary journey forward!
All that he did was to preserve a spark of human civilization.
