Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 497 Turning the Tide
Thinking of such a result, Ning Chen felt extremely tormented in his heart. Before this, Ning Chen had never allowed a similar situation to occur, and had never broken his promises.

At this moment, Ning Chen suddenly remembered something, and his tormented mood began to show hope.

"Oh right... the reward for completing the system task before should be able to help me solve this problem. Now, this is my last hope..."

Thinking of this, Ning Chen opened the system panel and checked the items on the system backpack interface.

Because there were too many things to do before, Ning Chen didn't have the time to pay attention to the changes in system tasks and backpack interface, but if nothing unexpected happened, Ning Chen should have completed the previous system task.

Sure enough, at the very end of the system backpack, Ning Chen saw the latest item.

"A technology that combines the human brain and artificial intelligence... System, use this item now!"

Theoretically, this technology can give Ning Chen more powerful brain power, but as to whether this will bring some other side effects, Ning Chen does not know yet.

After Ning Chen applied, the system quickly responded to Ning Chen.

[The host's current brain power index already meets the conditions for using the technology that combines the human brain with artificial intelligence. Please select the artificial intelligence to be integrated, and the system will integrate the quality later.]

After hearing the system's reply, Ning Chen subconsciously wanted to choose Xiaozhi for fusion immediately, but before making a decision, he suddenly hesitated.

Because Ning Chen was a little worried that after such a fusion operation, Xiaozhi would no longer be the same Xiaozhi, but would become a part of his own brain.

Even though this would allow Ning Chen to possess even more powerful brain power, it might also mean that Ning Chen would no longer be able to possess Xiaozhi.

Although Xiaozhi is just an artificial intelligence, after spending so many years with Xiaozhi, Ning Chen has developed some feelings for Xiaozhi.

This kind of feeling is different from the feelings between people, but it does not affect Xiaozhi's position in Ning Chen's heart.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen couldn't help but ask the system:
"System...if I merge with an artificial intelligence, does that mean that this artificial intelligence will cease to exist?"

[In theory, yes, because this technology allows an artificial intelligence to be perfectly integrated with the host's brain. This fusion process is irreversible, and of course it will not cause any negative impact on the host's brain.]

The system's answer made Ning Chen feel even more desperate about the matter, but after a brief hesitation, Ning Chen decided to merge with Xiaozhi.

Because if Ning Chen does not use the power of this function now, he will not be able to break through the current predicament. In comparison, losing Xiaozhi is a relatively more acceptable option.

And this does not mean that Xiaozhi will disappear completely. He will just exist in this world in another way and continue to "fight side by side" with Ning Chen.

With some sadness, Ning Chen expressed his final decision to the system.

"System... please merge me with Xiaozhi, the artificial intelligence..."

After Ning Chen finished speaking, the system immediately gave Ning Chen a response.

[The host's fusion request has been received, and the host and the artificial intelligence Xiaozhi are being integrated...]

When Ning Chen heard this information from the system, he felt that his brain was in a state that he had never experienced before.

This state is very difficult to describe, as if his soul has been pulled out, and the sadness in Ning Chen's heart makes him feel even more tormented.

Under the influence of these multiple negative effects, Ning Chen could only rely on his strong willpower to barely control the flight of the aerospace fighter and try his best to prevent it from falling.

Song Xiyun, who was far away on the other side of Blue Star, also received the abnormal situation from Ning Chen and quickly asked Ning Chen through the radio communication equipment:

"Ning Chen, what happened on your side? Why did the situation suddenly become so unstable? If all else fails, make an emergency landing. Don't let the aerospace fighter crash directly!"

Song Xiyun was very anxious about Ning Chen's unusual condition, because based on Song Xiyun's understanding of Ning Chen, such a situation must be very abnormal.

Under this condition, it is very dangerous to continue to drive the aerospace fighter. Once the aerospace fighter is completely out of control, even an active forced landing will be impossible.

After receiving Song Xiyun's inquiry, Ning Chen was unable to respond to Song Xiyun at all, because now Ning Chen could only try his best to maintain his driving of the aerospace fighter, and he was already in an overloaded work state.

"Ning Chen... why don't you answer? You really make me worried..."

In a trance, Ning Chen felt that all his senses became more blurred, and even Song Xiyun's voice began to become less real.

"Am I...going to die..." Ning Chen thought with some despair.

Ning Chen knew that the scene before his eyes was no longer the scene he saw with his naked eyes, but a very chaotic state.

In this state, Ning Chen was definitely unable to exercise any control over the aerospace fighter. Presumably, this aerospace fighter had completely lost control and crashed directly to the ground.

At this moment, Ning Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that this fusion technology of the human brain and artificial intelligence would experience a brief loss of consciousness, Ning Chen would not have chosen to integrate it while flying the aerospace fighter, but would have used this technology earlier.

This would not result in Ning Chen facing the failure of the mission before he had time to experience this technology.

However, while Ning Chen was thinking about these questions, his various feelings gradually became clearer. Ning Chen only realized that he was still driving the aerospace fighter, and it did not fall directly as Ning Chen had imagined.

On the other side of the radio communication equipment, Song Xiyun still did not give up calling Ning Chen, but the voice was a little hoarser than before.

Ning Chen reacted quickly. It was very likely that when he was in a confused state just now, Xiao Zhi helped Ning Chen take over the driving task of the aerospace fighter, which continued to maintain the stable flight of the aerospace fighter.

Ning Chen didn't have much time to think about these things at the moment. He first took over the driving of the aerospace fighter, and at the same time informed Song Xiyun of his current situation through radio communication equipment.

"Song Xiyun, I just dealt with some things here. Now everything is fine. You don't have to worry. How are you doing here? If it really doesn't work, you can choose to find a safe place to land. I can handle the rest of the problems."

Finally hearing the response from Ning Chen, Song Xiyun's heart finally settled down and she was no longer as worried as before.

"Ning Chen... you finally replied to me. I thought you really encountered something. Don't worry, I can still hold on and will definitely not hold you back..."

Song Xiyun is the kind of person who will never give up until the last moment. Song Xiyun knows in her heart that as long as she can hold on for a moment longer, she can help Ning Chen reduce some of the burden.

Because Ning Chen was unable to rush to Song Xiyun's side immediately, Ning Chen simply let Song Xiyun deal with the situation there alone. After he had dealt with the remaining few spacecraft interference devices, he would choose to support Song Xiyun.

After focusing his attention on driving the aerospace fighter, Ning Chen quickly felt the difference between himself now and before.

Ning Chen seemed to have been reborn. His brain possessed extremely powerful thinking ability and reaction speed. Even facing the irregularly changing power and frequency of electromagnetic wave interference, Ning Chen was able to change his response plan in real time.

After all, Ning Chen was integrated with a powerful artificial intelligence like Xiaozhi, which greatly made up for some of Ning Chen's previous shortcomings and made some of Ning Chen's previous advantages even more powerful. It can be said that Ning Chen's overall brain level has at least been raised to a higher level.

This allows Ning Chen to easily overcome the interference effects of these devices, allowing the aerospace fighter to fly more smoothly than before.

Without much effort, Ning Chen arrived at the nearest spacecraft jammer and used an aerospace fighter to completely destroy the device.

Ning Chen's action greatly shocked the "Believers in God" organization. They couldn't even imagine how Ning Chen accomplished this.

"How is it possible... We have already reconfigured these spacecraft jammers according to God's will. No aircraft can fly smoothly in the sky of Blue Star. But... this strange plane driven by Ning Chen can still continue to attack our equipment?"

After all, this is the technology that "God" has just bestowed upon them. Even if Ning Chen is as powerful as he is, they would never believe that Ning Chen can fight against "God".

But what happened just now refreshed their cognition again, making them realize that Ning Chen's ability was far beyond their imagination.

"Commander, should we continue to ask God to bestow us with some new technologies? I believe that as long as God gives us some more advanced technologies, we will be able to completely destroy Ning Chen and this aerospace fighter!"

After hearing what this person said, the leader did not have any positive reaction and continued to remain silent with a bitter look on his face.

Because he knew in his heart that if "God" really had any better method, he would have granted it to them long ago, and there would not have been no response until now.

It is not easy to impart some technology at such a long distance. In addition, the alien civilization may not fully trust this organization, so some of the most advanced technologies will never be taught to them easily.

Just as he thought, the "God" on the other side of the communication device did not give them any response, but remained silent. It was unknown whether the "God" was no longer paying attention to this matter or just didn't want to talk to them anymore.

During this period, Ning Chen successively destroyed several spacecraft interference devices. After merging with Xiaozhi, Ning Chen was like a flawless hexagonal warrior and was not affected by these electromagnetic interference signals at all. The speed of his brain was no slower than the speed of change of these electromagnetic wave power and frequency.

But there was still no progress on Song Xiyun's side. Ever since the "Believers in God" organization updated a new program, Song Xiyun was no longer able to complete the mission and could only barely maintain the flight of the aerospace fighter.

However, this state consumes a huge amount of energy. Even for Song Xiyun, it is impossible to maintain this state for a long time and has already reached her limit.

Just when Song Xiyun was about to run out of energy, Ning Chen decisively took back Song Xiyun's control of the aerospace fighter and took the initiative to carry out the landing procedure for the aerospace fighter.

"Song Xiyun, I will let your space fighter land first. This landing site is very safe, and someone will pick you up soon. You don't need to worry about what happens next. I will deal with the remaining spacecraft interference devices."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun simply stopped insisting and calmly accepted Ning Chen's arrangement.

"Okay, Ning Chen, the rest of the tasks will be handed over to you. You must pay attention to safety and don't force yourself for any reason."

Song Xiyun didn't want Ning Chen to put himself in danger because of the promises he made. In this mission, their performance was already good enough.

Of course, Song Xiyun also knew that Ning Chen must have used some mysterious method to allow her to better deal with the interference of these electromagnetic waves. Song Xiyun believed that Ning Chen could handle these things.

In the face of Song Xiyun's persuasion, Ning Chen did not give a clear answer.

"Song Xiyun, just take a good rest. I will adapt to the actual situation."

Ning Chen naturally wouldn't really joke about his own life. After confirming that Song Xiyun was safe, he quickly flew towards the next target.

It has to be said that the performance of the aerospace fighter developed by Ning Chen is indeed outstanding. If it were not for this aerospace fighter as a basis, even if Ning Chen was integrated with more powerful artificial intelligence, he would definitely not be able to fly smoothly in such an environment.

Moreover, as most of the spacecraft interference devices have been destroyed, the shielding effect of the Blue Planet's atmosphere shielding system formed by these devices will become much weaker.
