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

Chapter 612 The crisis has not yet been resolved
What made Xu Zhou feel most regretful was that he himself could not fight alongside Ning Chen and the others, and could only silently cheer and pray for them on Blue Star.

Ning Chen carefully looked at the surrounding situation. After confirming all the details, he finally confirmed that this was not an illusion, nor was it a dream, but a real fact.

Although Ning Chen, Song Xiyun and some other members set out from Mars when they first headed for the "space civilization", after that, all their bodies were sent back to the Blue Planet for unified management.

This was also a solution that everyone had agreed upon before. In this way, after the mission was successfully completed, not only could everyone return to Blue Star together, but it would also be convenient for the rear of Blue Star to deal with some emergencies.

"Teacher Xu...did all of us return safely?" Ning Chen asked.

"Yes, everyone's consciousness has returned to normal. Although some people's current condition is not particularly good, at least their vital signs are relatively stable. I believe that after a period of treatment and recovery, everyone will be able to become completely normal..."

Hearing Xu Zhou say this, Ning Chen nodded slightly.

Even someone like Ning Chen, who has an extremely strong heart, still feels the intense pain of being shrouded in shadow whenever he recalls his body and consciousness being ruthlessly annihilated by antimatter.

If it were someone else, this feeling of pain would only be more intense, even rising to the level of a disease. Therefore, the phenomenon that Xu Zhou described did not surprise Ning Chen.

"Then...how is Song Xiyun doing? Are there any serious sequelae?"

"Teacher Ning, you and Teacher Song both have relatively mild reactions, and you will be able to fully recover soon. Now I can let you practice for a while, it doesn't matter."

Given Ning Chen's current condition, if he were to communicate through the brain's biological computer, it would consume a lot of brain power and would not be conducive to their subsequent recovery. Therefore, Ning Chen also accepted this method very obediently.

Immediately, Ning Chen contacted Song Xiyun and discussed their respective situations.

In fact, the distance between their bodies is not far, but because each member's body is stored independently, their bodies are not stored in the same room, so they cannot communicate directly face to face.

"Ning Chen, we really came back safely! This all seemed like a dream. We didn't even bring any information back with us, and we can't be sure what we did, but these memories are undoubtedly very real."

"Yes, there is no doubt that these are all very real experiences, and we did successfully complete the initial mission. I believe that I will soon be able to obtain some information that confirms this fact through other channels."

After making sure that both parties were in good condition, Song Xiyun brought up another topic.

"Ning Chen... now should we restore ourselves to our previous selves? Didn't we say before that after successfully completing this mission, we will restore our genes to their previous state? Now that we have successfully blocked the gap in this huge barrier, this 'space civilization' can no longer continue to mine antimatter energy. Is there no need for us to continue in our current state?"

This was Ning Chen's initial promise to Song Xiyun. Genetic modification was just a helpless move on their part, and not a normal situation.

After hearing Song Xiyun's proposal, Ning Chen hesitated briefly, but still did not agree to Song Xiyun's request.

"Song Xiyun, if we are really in a completely safe situation, I will agree to return to my former self. But in fact, our current situation is not that safe. We have only temporarily resolved the crisis. Just relying on the antimatter energy they currently have stored, this 'space civilization' still has the ability to dominate the entire universe. Our Blue Star civilization is no match for them..."

During the time they were traveling to the "space civilization", in addition to leading everyone to complete their tasks, Ning Chen had also been trying to learn as much information as possible about this "space civilization".

Including the micro-UAV equipment used by Ning Chen and the quantum reconnaissance equipment used subsequently, they are not only used to detect information about this huge barrier, but also to detect information about the mother planet of this "space civilization".

Through this known information, Ning Chen knew that the antimatter energy currently stored by this "space civilization" had reached a very terrifying number. Excluding the antimatter energy they had stored, even if all the antimatter in the entire positive matter universe were added together, the reserves of their civilization alone would not be as rich.

This means that even if the Blue Star civilization can collect all the antimatter in the universe, from the perspective of energy alone, the Blue Star civilization will still not be able to compete with this "space civilization".

Of course, the strength of two civilizations cannot be analyzed solely from the perspective of energy reserves. In complex space battles, there are too many factors that determine the outcome of both sides. Even just a single detail may change the final outcome of the battle.

"Song Xiyun, when we truly defeat this 'space civilization', I will seriously consider restoring our previous gene sequence. Now the new genes are our very important advantage in facing this 'space civilization', and we can't take the initiative to give up this advantage."

After thinking for a while, Song Xiyun finally nodded slightly.

"Ning Chen, I admit that from a rational point of view, your decision is absolutely correct, and I will support your choice. But I hope you really think so from the bottom of your heart, and it's not just a delaying tactic to fool me."

Song Xiyun's words seemed to touch a nerve in Ning Chen's heart, because what Ning Chen just said was indeed not Ning Chen's true thoughts at the moment.

After transforming part of the genes in his body into a robot-like style, Ning Chen would frequently perform such actions.

Even though Ning Chen didn't think so in his heart, in order to stabilize Song Xiyun's emotions, Ning Chen still had to say some insincere words instead of being very straightforward like before.

But at this moment, Ning Chen's heart was somewhat touched by Song Xiyun's words, and the hard barrier that had been hidden outside Ning Chen's heart also showed signs of being broken. "No, no... We have finally gained our current abilities and no longer feel pain because of those negative emotions. We must not easily restore ourselves to our previous state. Unless there is really an important reason that requires us to perform this operation."

After some psychological struggle, Ning Chen still insisted on his own idea and was not easily changed by Song Xiyun's words.

Seeing Ning Chen's reaction, Song Xiyun didn't say anything more, but Song Xiyun still keenly noticed that Ning Chen was still very conflicted when facing this matter.

This shows that Ning Chen's heart is not that cold. At least he still has normal human emotions, and he has not really turned into an emotionless robot.

Song Xiyun is naturally a very rational person. She knows that Ning Chen's current choice is indeed based on the overall situation. At least before the crisis is completely resolved, they should really focus on this more important issue.

"Ning Chen, what do you think we need to do next based on the current situation? Since the capabilities of this 'space civilization' are still powerful and pose a threat to our Blue Star civilization, we definitely cannot just sit there and wait for death."

After stopping the indiscriminate exploitation of antimatter energy, this "space civilization" may no longer be able to threaten the security of the entire universe, but at least it still has the ability to destroy several civilizations.

Moreover, with the antimatter energy they have now stored, they can completely create space folds that can instantly reach the Blue Star civilization, and they are fully capable of attacking the Blue Star civilization.

"Yes, but our best method now is to hide our location in the universe so that this 'space civilization' cannot discover our existence. Although we have been exposed near their civilization, we did not leave much information. In theory, they cannot find our location."

Ning Chen is still very confident about this. After all, the scope of the universe is so vast that it is definitely not an easy task to find the specific location of a civilization through some clues.

In particular, there is a huge distance of dozens of light years between the Blue Star civilization and this "space civilization". Within this range, the number of planets is an astronomical figure. Trying to find out which planet is the mother planet of the Blue Star civilization among these numerous planets is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

Ning Chen was naturally very familiar with the technology of protecting civilization information. Long before heading to this "space civilization", Ning Chen had already prepared the corresponding technology and did not leave any key directional information to this "space civilization".

At this time, Xu Zhou, who had been paying attention to the conversation between Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Okay, Teacher Ning, Teacher Song, your bodies are still in the process of recovery, so there is no need to talk about such heavy topics right from the start. If there is nothing else important, I will temporarily close your chat channel. Of course, if there is anything else, you can still continue to contact each other at any time."

Ning Chen and Song Xiyun both expressed their support for this proposal. Now they really didn't want to talk about these things anymore, but wanted to focus on their own recovery.

"Well, Mr. Xu, let's do as you said and close our chat channel first. After we fully recover in a few days, I will seriously think about our next plan."

"Yes, I have the same idea. I still need to recover my ability to predict crises so that I can better help Ning Chen complete these tasks. When that time comes, we will continue to contact each other."

Ning Chen and Song Xiyun seemed to be a little unfamiliar with each other, which was rare. Moreover, this happened after they completed their mission and returned to Blue Star successfully. This was undoubtedly a bit unusual.

But in fact, such potential crisis has been buried since they decided to carry out human genetic modification.

However, no matter how subtle the changes in their relationship are, it will definitely not affect their future fighting side by side. Their purpose of fighting together against "space civilization" and other opponents that threaten the security of Blue Star civilization will never change.

…………

After a few days of rest, some people with better physical fitness, such as Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, have basically recovered to normal physical condition.

Although they can still feel endless pain every time they think of their former bodies and ideologies being ruthlessly devoured by antimatter energy, other than that, they basically have no other sequelae.

As for the others, their recovery was not as quick. This experience had a very serious impact on their psychology.

According to Ning Chen’s latest assessment, the current situation of these people is far more serious than their previous estimates. If the situation is really very bad, this situation may even continue for the rest of their lives.

Ning Chen naturally didn't want such a thing to really happen, so he discussed countermeasures to solve this problem with Song Xiyun.

"Song Xiyun, we must help everyone recover completely. We can't keep living with this shadow. Some of our members are already on the verge of depression, and even have symptoms of depression. This will cause a certain degree of harm to their body and mind. In serious cases, their lives may be in danger..."

Song Xiyun also expressed that she took Ning Chen's concerns very seriously and was very willing to help Ning Chen complete this task.

In fact, according to Song Xiyun's original idea, Ning Chen should not care too much about the physical condition of other people. After all, for a person who thinks with the "rational thinking" of a robot, the current condition of these people should not be too important to Ning Chen.

But Song Xiyun changed her mind and thought that perhaps it was because the crisis of "space civilization" had not yet been resolved that everyone still had a certain value of use. This was also the reason why Ning Chen did not give up on those people.
