Damn the Fish Horse Star fleet! No wonder they didn't pursue us into the Nebula Region. It turns out they weren't afraid of the high-density matter in the Nebula Region affecting warp drive, nor were they afraid of wasting time searching for humans in the Nebula Region. They already knew that there were conscious entities in the Nebula Region. If it weren't for good luck, this human fleet would probably be close to annihilation by now.
Now that the Fish Horse Star Fleet has left, Earth Two has at least 200 years of safety. Even if a method to create powerful organisms is not found by then, we can still find a way to delay until we find an opportunity to destroy the Nebula Main Consciousness in one fell swoop.
"Have you decided which one to keep for our research?"
"No need to discuss it. We'll all stay here and keep watch, ready for your research and to ensure you don't try anything funny. Also, your antimatter production is limited to a maximum of 10,000 tons. If you exceed that, we won't be so lenient. As for other technologies, you're free to research them. As long as you find a way to defeat us within 200 years, you can leave here safely. And I can tell you, our strongest attack is Consciousness Field, which can easily influence your thinking."
"Okay, it's a pleasure doing business with you."
The Main Consciousness no longer hides; it is scattered 10,000 kilometers above the equator of Earth Two, slowly rotating around Earth Two along with the nebula matter.
Although an agreement was reached, Hu Yu did not relax. The production of the space matter anomaly movement scanner continued, but this time all of these scanners were deployed on Earth Two, one every tens or hundreds of kilometers, to prevent the Main Consciousness from controlling Branch Consciousness Entity to infiltrate Earth Two.
The beams of antimatter particles in the air continued to erupt, showing no signs of weakening; in fact, they intensified considerably. Tens of millions of disorganized warships gathered 0.5 light-years from Earth Two, completely surrounded by the Wind Master. Branch Consciousness Entity emerged from the warships and quickly merged into the surrounding nebula. This was Hu Yu's request: for the Main Consciousness to hand over all the warships for human research. This time, the Main Consciousness readily agreed without any objection and directly directed the warships to the airspace designated by Hu Yu.
On Earth Two, people finally regained their senses.
"Brother, brother, how are you? I... what happened to me? How could I kill my own brother? Ah..."
"I... I killed someone, I killed someone! He just accidentally touched me, how could I have killed him? This... this can't be, this can't be, I don't believe it... I don't believe it..."
"Squad leader, squad leader, are you alright? Squad leader, how could I shoot you? Why, why!!! You're not my squad leader, you're my older brother~~~ Waaaaaah..." "Bang~~" A soldier shot himself.
"Oh, what happened to me? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have hit you."
"No, it was my fault. I insulted you first. Let's go to the hospital together."
"Okay, together." The two men, who were wrestling, helped each other walk towards the hospital.
After concluding negotiations with the Main Consciousness, Hu Yu immediately organized the restoration of order on Earth Two, rescued the injured, and broadcast globally.
"Fellow countrymen, this is Hu Yu. Don't panic, don't blame yourselves, and don't feel any guilt. This incident has nothing to do with you. Extraterrestrial beings have taken control of your bodies and your minds, which is why you unconsciously harm those around you. Unfortunately, we have only just emerged from the devastation of 70 years ago, and now we have suffered another enormous blow. But this is the cruelty of the universe; only the strongest races can survive in it."
"I know you've all done a great job. We've been through all sorts of hardships together, and I believe you can all pull through this time as well. We will continue to work hard and fight together until human Human Civilization stands at the very top of the universe!"
Although the casualties this time were far less than those caused by the Fish Horse Star Fleet, they were fundamentally different. The Fish Horse Star Fleet destroyed more than 5 billion people, yet Hu Yu did not broadcast the incident because it was an external attack, and the resilient people could not be broken.
But this time, he hurt the people around him, even his closest relatives. Moreover, this part of the incident was not actually due to his body and mind being controlled, as the radio broadcast claimed. Hu Yu said this only to alleviate the public's psychological burden. Throughout the entire incident, people have memories, and they remember them very clearly.
If left unchecked, these negative emotions will quickly spread throughout the entire fleet, causing people to become despondent, fall into deep self-blame, and even choose to end their lives.
The fleet quickly organized various meetings from top to bottom, which would eventually be expanded to include everyone. The spirit of the meetings was singular: all participants must resolve their own ideological problems, and must not have any feelings of self-blame or guilt. In particular, such feelings must not be allowed to escalate and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
" Old Hu, do you think we should have Academician Xiao and his team perform a genetic modification to remove these genes that make us brutal, bloodthirsty, and impulsive?"
" Zhonghua, how could you have such thoughts? Do you want humanity to become a second Snow Star Civilization? I have an idol from a thousand years ago who said something like, 'Losing humanity means losing a lot, losing animality means losing everything.' If we humans didn't have these bloodthirsty and belligerent genes, what would be the difference between us and docile sheep? It is precisely because of these selfish, brutal, arrogant, impulsive, and bloodthirsty genes that we have been able to get to where we are today."
"I'm just afraid that these few Main Consciousness will once again escalate our public sentiment."
"Everything has two sides. This is also a test for our people. If they can overcome it, they will become stronger, and they will be able to cope calmly even with the greatest disasters in the future. We have now basically reached a consensus with these Main Consciousness, and I believe they no longer need to do this. Moreover, we will make corresponding preparations. There are still 200 years left, and I believe there will definitely be a way."
"Like I said, you make the decisions, I'll handle the tasks. Just tell me what to do next."
"We have many problems to solve now. The first is travel speed, the second is space compression, the third is space vortex, the fourth is space transfer, and the fifth is dimension. If we can break through any of these five things, we may be able to break free from the control of the Nebula Main Consciousness."
"Spatial vortexes don't exist, do they? They're lying."
"No, spatial vortexes are indeed possible, and these Main Consciousness have seen them before."
