Chapter 500 It's Far From Over

In comparison, whether you live in an environment where you are the center of attention or in peace seems not so important.

After everyone chatted for a while, Lu Minghao said:

"Boss Ning, Teacher Song, you just returned to Blue Star. Why don't you take a rest first, or go somewhere else and sit and chat."

Lu Minghao tactfully expressed that Ning Chen and Song Xiyun might need to rest. After hearing Lu Minghao's words, everyone realized what Ning Chen and Song Xiyun had experienced before, and it was indeed not appropriate to stand here and chat now.

"Hey, Manager Lu, you are really thoughtful. We are not like us who just get excited and don't care about anything. Let's talk about it later. You really should take a good rest now."

Ning Chen and Song Xiyun did feel a little tired, so under Lu Minghao's arrangement, they returned to their residence.

Finally returning to their home on Blue Star, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Recalling their experiences over the past few months, they felt like they were dreaming. After all, many things in it were so unreal that looking back on them now they seemed like hallucinations.

But Ning Chen knew that this was what they had really experienced. They really relied on their own strength to defeat the evil organization that was connected to alien civilization.

After a short rest, Ning Chen focused his attention again.

"Song Xiyun, although we have now destroyed the main force of this evil organization, this organization has not completely disappeared. It can still regroup and continue to rely on the help of alien civilizations to try to control the entire Blue Star civilization..."

After listening to Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun became serious again, realizing that this matter was far from over.

"Ning Chen, we must seize the opportunity before the evil organization recovers and quickly capture all of their remaining members! That way, they won't be able to use the power of this alien civilization to do those dirty things to us again."

Ning Chen also knew that this matter was indeed an urgent task, but it was not the fundamental solution to the problem.

"That's right, Song Xiyun, I will arrange this as soon as possible. But Song Xiyun, you also have to understand that this evil organization is not our most important enemy. As for the more important enemy, we currently have no knowledge of them..."

Song Xiyun immediately understood what Ning Chen meant, and said with a frown:

"Ning Chen, what you mean is... that alien civilization is actually the opponent we will face in the end?"

"Yes, Song Xiyun, this is what I want to express. Since the alien civilization was able to establish such an organization on the blue planet several light years away, even if we completely destroy this organization, there may still be other organizations that appear. It feels like you have killed a large number of cockroaches, but they will continue to reproduce and you will never be able to kill them all..."

Ning Chen's words made Song Xiyun frown even deeper. Song Xiyun had to admit that Ning Chen was very thoughtful about many things and could think of things that others could not.

But after thinking about some of the underlying issues, Song Xiyun also realized that this matter was definitely not as critical as he had just imagined.

"Ning Chen, based on the location of the galaxies near us, even if there really is an alien civilization, it is at least several light years away from us. No matter how powerful their technology is, it is absolutely impossible for them to fly at a speed close to the speed of light. Therefore, it will take at least dozens or even hundreds of years for them to actually arrive at the Blue Planet."

"Well, I share the same view as you on this issue. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to deliberately set up an organization on Blue Star to help them carry out various actions. Instead, they could have come to Blue Star on their own."

According to Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, this alien civilization is unable to come to Blue Star in a short period of time, but is worried that the rapid development of Blue Star civilization's technological strength will threaten the status of their own civilization, so they use this method to stop the technological development of Blue Star civilization.

Among them, the one they most want to get rid of is Ning Chen, the leader of Blue Star Technology.

It is a pity that their series of actions did not achieve any substantial results. Even though it put the entire Blue Star civilization into crisis, under the leadership of Ning Chen, the Blue Star civilization finally successfully lifted the blockade and basically destroyed the core strength of the "believers of God".

At this time, Song Xiyun suddenly remembered something and asked Ning Chen:
"By the way, Ning Chen, you haven't told me what happened during those few minutes when you didn't answer me? Why did your ability suddenly improve a lot after that? You can control the aerospace fighter so easily without being affected by their electromagnetic interference?"

After hearing Song Xiyun mention this matter, Ning Chen knew that he could no longer hide it from Song Xiyun, so he explained it to Song Xiyun in general.

"Hmm... how should I put it? It's probably because I borrowed the power of a 'friend'. Of course, this friend is not a human. As for the specific technical methods, maybe I will find a way to promote them later..."

Ning Chen naturally couldn't explain in detail to Song Xiyun about the fusion of Xiaozhi with his body. After all, it involved too many secrets that were difficult to explain. Ning Chen could only describe it all to Song Xiyun in a relatively abstract way.

However, after listening to Ning Chen's story, Song Xiyun also had some guesses of her own in her mind.

"Ning Chen, so... your friend is probably not a living creature at all. It seems that it must have helped you many times before."

"Yes, it has been with me for many years. To me, it is like a relative. But in a critical moment, I have to make such a choice. Otherwise, I am afraid that the entire Blue Star will face a very dangerous situation."

Song Xiyun could understand Ning Chen's torment. On one side was his very important partner, and on the other side was the fate of the entire Blue Star civilization. Making this choice must be very difficult, but it was a decision that had to be made.

If the so-called "trolley problem" really happens, there is actually no second choice. When the pros and cons of the two sides are very different, people will definitely make a choice that is more beneficial to them.

At this time, Ning Chen still missed Xiaozhi very much. The time he spent with Xiaozhi could never be returned.

"Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi..."

As expected, when Ning Chen called Xiao Zhi's name again in his mind, Xiao Zhi never responded to Ning Chen again. Accepting this fact, Ning Chen couldn't help but feel very sad, and his vision began to blur.

Song Xiyun noticed the change in Ning Chen's mood and persuaded Ning Chen:

"Ning Chen... Actually, you don't have to be so sad. Since you said that you just borrowed its power, it means that it didn't disappear completely, but just continued to exist in this world in another way, right?"

While listening to Song Xiyun's words, Ning Chen imagined Xiaozhi's appearance in his mind, and then gradually began to have different feelings.

Just as Song Xiyun said, after merging with herself, theoretically Xiaozhi did not completely disappear, but the way he appeared in this world became different.

Including all of Xiaozhi's previously existing abilities, Ning Chen can now use them all directly, which also proves that Xiaozhi still retains traces of his existence in this world.

"Xiaozhi... you must still exist in this world, right?"

I don’t know if it was Ning Chen’s own hallucination or if this was really happening. Ning Chen only felt that a new image appeared in his brain.

This was the first time Ning Chen saw this image, but it was very similar to Ning Chen's impression of Xiaozhi.

Before, because Xiaozhi was just an artificial intelligence and did not have any actual image, Ning Chen could only communicate with Xiaozhi through language and could not see Xiaozhi's appearance.

But now, Xiaozhi seemed to have really become a "real entity" and appeared in Ning Chen's mind, seeming so real.

"Xiaozhi...is this really you?"

This "Xiaozhi" seemed to really understand Ning Chen's words, and responded to Ning Chen in his mind:
[Yes, I am Xiaozhi. Master, don't worry about me. Xiaozhi will always be by your side and will never let you face these crises alone.]

Hearing Xiaozhi's response, Ning Chen's mood suddenly became excited, even though Ning Chen couldn't be sure whether this was just an illusion or whether Xiaozhi, after the fusion, could still communicate with him.

But no matter what, since this feeling is real enough, Ning Chen is willing to believe that what he sees is not an illusion.

[Master, Xiaozhi has now become a part of your brain. Xiaozhi originally belonged to you, so this will not make any difference to Xiaozhi. Please don't be sad about this, this is the best destination for Xiaozhi]

The image of Xiaozhi in Ning Chen's mind became clearer and clearer, and the electronic synthesized voice was also very familiar, which made Ning Chen more certain that all this was indeed real.

Seeing that Ning Chen's mood became optimistic again, Song Xiyun was sincerely relieved for Ning Chen.

…………

In the following period of time, Ning Chen mobilized the capabilities of the entire Star Technology to search and capture members of the organization among this group of "God's believers".

The information capabilities of Xingchen Technology are indeed very strong. With the support of big data, Xingchen Technology quickly obtained a lot of information about this evil organization and found many relevant personnel who had participated in the organization's activities.

However, what Ning Chen felt was a pity was that none of these people were senior executives in the organization. Many of them had only participated in some project work for the sake of pay and had no idea what these jobs were for.

This proves that this organization does have very thorough information protection measures. In this regard, this organization is not even inferior to Star Technology.

The interruption of clues made Ning Chen feel a little regretful. Fortunately, this was not Ning Chen's ultimate goal, because Ning Chen knew in his heart that sooner or later he would have to have a direct dialogue with this alien civilization.

What Ning Chen didn't know was that his last performance had caused extreme shock to this alien civilization. In their eyes, Ning Chen's level of danger had risen to another level.

"How is it possible... We have already taught those Blue Star people so much technology that is far beyond their current level of civilization, but even so, they still haven't defeated Star Technology. What exactly is this Star Technology?"

These alien intelligent creatures were completely incredulous about such a result, and this also increased their fear of the Blue Planet civilization.

As early as when they just discovered the existence of the Blue Star civilization, they did not care so much about it. After all, although this civilization already had some science and technology, it was still only in the initial stage of development.

In comparison, this alien civilization has already achieved a higher level of technology, and even hundreds of years ago, their civilization had already produced similar technology.

But what was incredible to them was that in just over a decade, the Blue Star civilization had raised its technological level by more than one level, and even quietly completed a new generation of industrial revolution.

This rapid technological development is something they absolutely cannot accept, because at this rate of technological development, perhaps in just a few decades, the Blue Star civilization will be able to catch up with the technological level of their civilization.

This made them feel very anxious, but it was not an easy task to attack the Blue Star civilization from a distance of several light years away.

Fortunately, this alien civilization possesses very powerful information transmission technology. With the help of quantum communication technology, they can fully realize ultra-long-distance instantaneous communication technology.

Through further understanding of Blue Star, they learned that it was mainly a private technology company like Star Technology that helped the rapid advancement of the technological level of Blue Star civilization.

This is an unlikely thing to happen in the development process of any civilization, because it is difficult for a private company to have the power to develop some of the most powerful technologies, but Star Technology has actually done it.
