Chapter 1966: Calculation
Miao Ke's mechanical eyes lit up!
(〃¤_¤) "With evidence as solid as a mountain, no matter how much the Bose Clan tries to argue, they won't be able to shirk their guilt!"
Jiangnan nodded heavily, "So, the Silicon race should take advantage of this opportunity to expose everything on a grand scale, make the evidence public, and let everyone in the starry sky know the truth!"
"Let them see what the Holy Star has done and how serious the consequences are!"
"Let all races know that the so-called overlord of the starry sky is actually nothing special!"
At this moment, humanity on Blue Star had also reached a historical turning point, standing on the edge of a cliff!
The Holy Star would send a Planet Destroyer, or even unimaginably powerful beings, to carry out one final development of Blue Star!
To eliminate all future troubles and take this fat piece of meat for themselves!
This battle was unavoidable, no matter how they maneuvered or what methods they used—the Holy Star's final sword would inevitably strike Blue Star!
So it was better to use this battle to blow things up, to make a mess that couldn't be cleaned up!
This was also the most critical battle that would determine whether humanity could truly overcome the Holy Star and step onto the stage of the starry sky—the final decisive battle!
Win, and soar ten thousand miles!
Lose, and be utterly crushed!
This was a huge gamble for the Silicon race, and no less so for humanity!
They were even betting the entire future of the human race!
It was a war they had to win!
And what really mattered was what path to take after winning!
Miao Ke's mechanical eyes flickered, "There's one problem with this approach!"
"I don't think that after the Silicon race withdraws our lawsuit and stops pursuing this matter, the Holy Star will immediately open the star path and attack Blue Star!"
"The Bose race isn't stupid. They'll suspect this might be a tactic of the Silicon race—retreating to advance, luring them into action to gather evidence!"
"The Bose race will definitely act cautiously, not as we envision..."
Jiangnan shook his head, his gaze cold, "No! They will definitely choose to open the star path and strike!"
Miao Ke was puzzled, "Why?"
Jiangnan grinned, "Because of me! Just now, I captured the son of the Holy Star's star lord, Xing Luo! Norman!"
Miao Ke's mechanical eyes widened:
(〃⊚口⊚) "You captured Xing Luo's son?"
Because of the previous negotiations, the Silicon race had actually been secretly watching Norman!
They wanted to find a breakthrough from Norman and use him as a bargaining chip to argue with the Holy Star!
But they hadn't gone so far as to capture him. Who would have thought Jiangnan would just grab him?
Jiangnan smiled, (◕‾᷄↼‾᷅) "Just caught him. Still fresh!"
"With Norman missing, Xing Luo will definitely investigate. A little digging, and they'll trace it back to me!"
"Given the Bose race's abilities, watching my battle videos, seeing my name, etc., they'll inevitably notice irregularities and suspect I'm the Jiangnan from Blue Star!"
"To confirm further, they'll contact Carl on Blue Star to verify my identity!"
"The result is obvious. They'll immediately discover I'm human!"
Miao Ke stared intently at Jiangnan, "You plan to directly expose your human identity to the Bose race?"
Jiangnan grinned, "Exactly! If you were Xing Luo, and you found out that a human brat from Blue Star had evaded all monitoring, hidden his identity, and made it to the Thousand Stars City, and even captured your son, what would you do?"
Miao Ke's gaze shifted, "I'd panic! I'd be anxious! Afraid you might spill the Holy Star's secrets to the Silicon race, or even to all races!"
"You'd be an uncontrollable factor. I'd do everything possible to capture you and keep you in my hands!"
"At the same time, I'd take the risk and immediately strike Blue Star, secure the planet, eliminate that worry, and remove the threat!"
Jiangnan smiled, "Exactly! The more they fail to capture me, the more anxious the Bose race will become, because they can't predict my actions!"
"They don't know if I'll grab a loudspeaker and go shout the Holy Star's deeds on the street, or if I'll go to you for exposure!"
"And they'll be even more eager to attack Blue Star. That's when the opportunity comes!"
Miao Ke narrowed his eyes, "You planned this all along? From the moment you clashed with Norman?"
"Even before you connected with the Silicon race, you decided to do this?"
Jiangnan smiled, "Not exactly. Connecting with the Silicon race was unexpected, but I don't rule out that I had this intention."
"But even if I hadn't managed to connect with the Silicon race this time, Norman's identity alone would have been worth taking action."
In other words, from the moment Jiangnan captured Norman as a bargaining chip, Jiangnan had no retreat, and neither did humanity!
The decisive battle for Blue Star would come soon because of Norman's capture!
For this extremely important bargaining chip, Jiangnan was willing to take the risk!
If he hadn't connected with the Silicon race this time, Jiangnan would have directly chosen to expose his human identity later, seek allies, or even reveal his true form at the Black Mark Assembly!
But fortunately, the Silicon race was sharp enough to detect Jiangnan's human identity, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Miao Ke narrowed his eyes, "You're an out-and-out gambler! Every time, you stake everything! You might have won many times before, but one day, you'll lose and lose everything!"
"It's the simplest probability problem. The Silicon race doesn't endorse this approach or way of thinking. One day, you'll lose badly!"
Jiangnan grinned, "Right! You're not wrong! I am a gambler! But do you think I want to be?"
"If there weren't a thousand-pound burden on my shoulders, who would gamble with their life for tomorrow?"
"Because humanity has nothing! So we must give it our all! Maybe one day I'll lose, just as you said, but this time, I have to win! Understand? I have to!"
Miao Ke's mechanical eyes stared at Jiangnan without blinking.
"Sorry, this matter involves the future strategy and development direction of my Silicon race. It's not something I can decide!"
"I'll go consult the Supreme Intelligence!"
With that, Miao Ke slowly closed his mechanical eyes!
At this moment, Jiangnan's palms were covered in cold sweat!
So far, he had slightly figured out the thinking mode of the Silicon mechanical race!
For everything, profit comes first. Facing two choices, the Silicon race would directly choose the option that brings more benefits!
Small choices accumulate to form the basis of the Silicon race's actions!
This mode of thinking might miss many opportunities, but one thing is certain: it's stable!
They would never lose a gamble because they never gamble!
0 and 1! Choosing 0 might get 2, but it could also become -2!
But choosing 1 will definitely get 1!
The Silicon race would unhesitatingly choose 1!
It's not that the Silicon race can't calculate all possibilities; they just don't gamble!
Sometimes, it seems like they miss opportunities, but that's in the short term!
If they keep choosing this way over the long term, the accumulated 1 over billions of years is absolutely terrifying!
This mode of thinking would keep the entire Silicon race developing positively!
That's how the Silicon race had charged to the second sequence position!
As for Jiangnan, he had pure gambler's psychology, but it wasn't that he wanted to gamble or choose 0!
It was because there was no 1 for Jiangnan to choose at all!
There was only one path: gamble!
And this time, Jiangnan wanted the Silicon race to choose 0 with him—to bet big!
Give up the short-term gains and go for a big move!
Jiangnan didn't know if the Silicon race would agree to this!
Just like the mechanical race could never understand the human heart, Jiangnan didn't know what was going on in their mechanical heads!
After a moment, Miao Ke's mechanical eyes opened again. He slowly extended his mechanical hand toward Jiangnan.
(〃☼_☼)っ "The Supreme Intelligence has agreed to your proposal. We can proceed this way!"
Jiangnan suppressed the excitement in his heart and reached out to shake Miao Ke's hand.
(◕¯ิ◡¯ิ) "Looks like your Supreme Intelligence is pretty intelligent after all!"
The two hands clasped together, signifying the formation of a cooperative relationship!
Then Jiangnan rubbed his little hands together:
(ʃƪᵒ̴̶̷ωᵒ̴̶̷) "So... can you support us with some weapons?"
"Do you have any anti-Bose body weapons? Give me about ten thousand or so?"
"Blue Star is about to face a full-scale attack from the Holy Star. With our foundations alone, I'm afraid we can't win!"
Miao Ke retracted his hand like lightning!
(乛-乛〃) "Forget about that! We do have anti-Bose body weapons, but they won't be decisive, and we can't give them to you!"
Jiangnan was anxious, "Why not? If Blue Star loses, the matter won't blow up big!"
"The Holy Star will just have made a mistake. It won't help much!"
Miao Ke said flatly, "If my Silicon race supports Blue Star with forbidden weapons, when the evidence is made public and seen by all races, it will look like my Silicon race supported Blue Star to fight the Holy Star, and that Blue Star's achievements are all due to my Silicon race's covert support!"
"Then my Silicon race's position will no longer be righteous. Instead, it will seem like we supported Blue Star to oppose the Holy Star and magnify their mistakes!"
"You're a smart person. You understand what I mean. We can't give you any support!"
Jiangnan's face darkened. What Miao Ke said made sense. From the Silicon race's perspective, supporting Blue Star was indeed not the right choice!
They still had to rely on themselves to win this battle?
Miao Ke stated bluntly, "Do your best to fight! Don't you want to prove the Holy Star is wrong? Then show the value of humanity!"
"If you lose, it means you lost your gamble! If you win, it means you bet right!"
Jiangnan took a deep breath. Whether humans won or lost, the evidence would be revealed. If they won, the Silicon race would gain more benefits. But even if they lost, the Silicon race wouldn't lose!
Because the Holy Star's mistake would still be exposed!
From beginning to end, the life or death of humanity didn't matter to the Silicon race at all!
They were just pawns!
But at least they were pawns now!
Jiangnan's expression turned serious, "And if I win?"
Miao Ke narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"
Jiangnan grinned. Finally, they asked what he wanted!
