It can only be said that this change in the world line is not entirely a good thing.
While constantly learning about the latest news about the mission through the Holy Land, Shen Shi was also thinking about his next plan.
Even if we can really defeat the Mulder system this time and make a lot of money, the strength of human civilization will not be able to rise to a level that can compete with the two major interstellar systems, and it will even be far inferior to the three major A-level civilizations. , the effect brought by three thousand years is also constantly decreasing. Human civilization seems to have once again reached the edge of a threshold, but it is difficult to see clearly what the road ahead truly looks like, and does not know how to step out.
"Maybe it will take a long time to digest the gains of the past thousand years." Shen Shi whispered to himself.
Since there is no way to obtain huge profits, it can only develop slowly.
In fact, the current strength of human civilization is quite illusory.
Almost all advanced devices are obtained from other places. Even in the third future line, their technical strength is only at the level of B7, which is worse than the B9 civilization that is just an ordinary soldier on the frontline battlefield. Much worse.
This kind of illusory strength may be able to make a fortune at the beginning by using Shen Shi's personal strength and the existence of the Holy Land, but once it is alerted, as it is now, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again.
If this were not the case, Shen Shi could have continued to have both sides, instead of choosing Qianmeng like he did now.
"After making this money, we will settle down for a while." Shen Shi made a decision in his heart.
Of course, precipitation does not mean doing nothing. Even ordinary development has ordinary development methods. Three thousand years still need to be utilized to the maximum extent, but that will happen later.
What's more important right now is this last piece of business.
However, as the envoys sent arrived at Qianmeng, the first news that came over was not good news.
"Qian Meng is acting indifferent?" Shen Shi frowned slightly.
At this level, even the smallest fluctuations can reveal many problems, and at least increase a certain percentage of a certain possibility in high-intensity calculations.
Therefore, there must be a reason for Qianmeng's performance.
But, there is no reason.
According to current intelligence, the Thousand Alliance is actually in decline on the remaining two main battlefields. Their size and overall strength may exceed the Mulder system, but with the ranchers in the frontline battlefield The activity of the Qian Alliance, coupled with the fact that the eighteen major B9-level civilizations gradually moved their home star areas over, with an attitude of winning at all costs, directly led to a great increase in the pressure on the Qian Alliance. In this case, they undoubtedly A win, a big gain is needed to reverse the disadvantage.
This is also the reason why Shen Shi chose to cooperate with Qianmeng.
Looking at the overall situation of the system war, it is still the simplest and most effective means of balancing.
However, Qianmeng's reaction was somewhat unexpected.
"The possibility of a show of force is not low, but this method should not have much meaning." Shen Shi thought alone.
Negotiations between high-level people are often very direct.
Because the computing power of both parties is extremely high.
As Shen Shi has been emphasizing, all disputes will eventually return to intelligence information.
Even strength is a type of intelligence.
Therefore, there must be some information that they do not know that causes the gap between the actual situation and the estimate.
Shen Shi slightly squinted his eyes, but he had fully mobilized his time ability.
He's cheating again.
Peering into the future is a lot of consumption for him, and he can't see the future for too long. Even if the incarnation of Future Line No. 3 is much stronger than the incarnation of Future Line No. 2 when dealing with Emperor Ji, he can only see seven In about eight years in the future, it is actually difficult for this to have much effect on interstellar warfare.
But this time, Shen Shi discovered the key information.
"Does the Qianmen League itself have the confidence to swallow up the Mulder system on the battlefield in this galaxy?" Shen Shi thought thoughtfully, "It is even confident that it will also swallow up a third party like us who suddenly appeared but is not strong. This It’s a bit unexpected, some kind of trump card? Or some kind of strategy?”
Calculated, it is actually more likely that it is the hole card.
It is difficult for strategy to play a major role in this kind of war. Even if the decision is to abandon the other two battlefields and fully support this battlefield, it will take thousands of years to gradually complete it. Such a long time At this time, it was impossible to hide anything.
Therefore, it is more likely that the recent decline has forced Qianmeng to come up with new trump cards.
"In this case, then you should retreat." Shen Shizai finally said to the envoy, and then issued an important order again, "Condensate our people to the smallest unit and hide ourselves with all our strength."
It has to be said that the biggest trump card of human civilization is hiding.
With the Holy Land, human beings can compress their existence to only one spaceship or even one person.
Under such a scale of concealment, even the Thousand Alliance and Mulder systems would have difficulty discovering traces of human civilization.
But if there is a need.
Then, in an instant, the fleets of human civilization can be spread across every corner where there are personal terminals in the Holy Land.
Yes, although the situation has changed, Shen Shi is still not ready to give up.
Regardless of whether it is successful or not, after this battle, human civilization will definitely enter the eyes of the higher-ups of the two systems. Maybe even the ranchers will take action personally. The subsequent "precipitation" of the plan is an inevitable trend. In other words , now it is very likely that human civilization will have an opportunity to fish in troubled waters in this system war within a certain period of time.
At least that's the case in Future Line Three.
Therefore, Shen Shi did not want to leave like this.
He thought for a while, and then added:
"By the way, if we send people to conduct intelligence transactions with the Mulder system, we will say that we have discovered the confidence of the Thousand Alliance and decided to evacuate."
This is not an intention to stand on the side of the Mulder system, but I do not want them to be simply eliminated.
After doing all this, Shen Shi and human civilization seemed to have entered a state of sedimentation in advance, and most of the traces disappeared, including Shen Shi, who did not go anywhere and just stayed near the frontline base of the Mulder system. Watch and wait silently.
You can indeed see a lot of things.
Mulder's system obviously believed the intelligence he had traded in the past, and showed obvious shrinkage behavior. It began to gradually reduce its dispatches, and increased the construction of defense devices. The overlapping phase spaces alone were a bit beyond imagination—— At least when people invaded, they would never have imagined how many warships, weapons, and traps were buried here.
As for Qianmeng's reaction, it is somewhat intriguing.
It was obviously impossible for the Qian Alliance to not notice such an obvious change in Mulder's system. However, they still had no change. They just took advantage of the trend to occupy the territories where Mulder's system had shrunk and advanced step by step.
This can at least confirm that Qianmeng's confidence does not come from long-term strategic adjustments, but from some means that can take effect immediately.
Some kind of special weapon device, or even a relic device, is the most likely possibility.
In addition, Qianmeng has significantly increased its search for human civilization.
Shen Shi receives reports of humans lurking in dangerous areas almost every day. With personal terminals and strong original energy attainments, they are like a drop in the ocean when they enter this battlefield, even if they are from Qianmeng. With technical strength, there is not much possibility to unearth them all.
At most, a small part is found.
But even so, Qianmeng did not relax at all. Every time they occupied a new place, what they did was to conduct a large-scale exploration first. Conventional technology and original energy technology were used together, and they were even used back and forth. They would never give up until they found something. posture.
"They are worried about us." Shen Shi said in his heart.
Because of the changes in the world line, human civilization has indeed gained a good reputation in this war, and has gained a lot of information.
At least both Qianmeng and Mulder are very clear that this third party, who is also quite mysterious in their eyes, has extremely powerful traceless jump technology and can land a large number of fleets in a very short period of time.
However, they may not have determined yet that the traceless jump technology of human civilization requires "coordinates" to be laid out in advance.
At most, this speculation exists as a list of possibilities.
In other words, the current situation is just based on such speculation.
"We don't hesitate to be vigilant just for a guess. This worry has been written on the surface. In other words, we may really pose a big threat to Qianmeng's plan this time." Shen Shi came to this conclusion After the conclusion, I was quite looking forward to it.
Sometimes, the enemy knows you better than you do, and from the enemy's actions, you can also see what you can do.
"Hide with all your strength!" Shen Shi ordered again, "If someone is discovered, after they die, they need to send people to replace them!"
As long as it is for the greater good in a war, one cannot be afraid of sacrifice. Especially after the Holy Land is completely controlled, the sacrifices on the battlefield will be greatly reduced. After all, if you find that you are losing, you will retreat directly. There is no such thing as annihilation of the entire army. This kind of thing.
The sacrifice at this moment was worth it in Shen Shi's eyes.
He even tripled the merits of each "coordinate" who controlled a personal terminal to lurk. It was a reward and also showed how much he valued it.
Time starts to slow down.
The atmosphere of the entire galaxy battlefield seemed to be starting to become weird.
Even those peaceful cities on the frontline planet that were born on battlefields and lived freely seemed to have a faint sense of heaviness.
It's been like this for ten years, it's been like this for fifty years, it's been like this for a hundred years.
Three hundred and forty years have passed since Shen Shi issued the order to shrink.
The Thousand Alliance seems to have controlled three-quarters of the galaxy, surrounding all the control areas of the Mulder system, including external nodes, and looks like it is going to completely destroy the Mulder system.
However, Shen Shi knew very well, and Mulder's system also knew very well that it was simply impossible to achieve this with just the apparent strength of the Qian Alliance.
the most important is--
Shen Shi received news from the remaining two battlefields that the rancher had not appeared for more than a hundred years.
It is impossible for this news to reach here in a short period of time, that is, the human civilization that owns the Holy Land and has already sent personnel carrying personal terminals to those two places can know it.
But this news shocked Shen Shi.
the reason is simple.
The transmission speed of intelligence information is much faster than the speed of jump navigation. According to the technical level of Mulder system, it only takes more than two hundred years and less than three hundred years to transmit the information from here to the central battlefield, that is, The galaxy that the rancher brought before, counting the time, seems to be the beginning of the rancher's disappearance!
"Sure enough, you are here." Shen Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
You can probably imagine that, after all, the Mulder system now has the advantage in the other two main battlefields. Only here, Qianmeng looks full of confidence. In this case, no matter what Qianmeng’s trump card is , taking out the rancher’s trump card is also a high probability choice.
also.
Shen Shike has not forgotten that ranchers are individuals after all, not a civilized collective.
As the same supreme ruler, Shen Shi knew very well that when he realized something was wrong, he actually believed in himself more than in civilization. After all, he had too many strengths and trump cards in his hands, and he couldn't even see them clearly. Under such circumstances, there is always a sense of uneasiness about the rest of the civilization, and one does not dare to bet everything on the rest of the people. Taking action personally or deeply interfering often becomes an important choice.
Although I don’t know if the rancher is the same, but when Qianmeng’s trump card is not revealed, the probability of the rancher coming in person is indeed not low!
So, he had a chance to meet this rancher?
After realizing this, even Shen Shi felt a little uneasy emotionally.
His memory easily returned to the beginning.
The first time he heard the name "Rancher" from Future Line No. 1, Shen Shi thought it was a terrifying interstellar overlord.
Bring it into your own understanding, just like Thanos in the Marvel story.
He treats the entire universe and countless civilizations as his own breeding ground. With a single thought, the stars will collapse, everything will die, and civilizations will fall into despair. No matter how you look at it, he is an unrivaled ultimate villain who has brought despair to countless civilizations.
And as the strength of human civilization continues to improve, and the understanding of the universe continues to increase, this has not changed at all, but has become increasingly clear.
It is a real big mountain that has always been pressing on Shen Shi's heart.
It wasn't until he truly mastered the trading market and was transformed by the Bronze Hall that this pressure and vague fear were relieved.
And now, after more than three thousand years, it's finally time to get in touch with this rancher?
