While Mia was talking to it, the other people in the fast battleship were nervously analyzing the information captured on the detector. The new battleship had reached a critical moment, so it could not support them anymore. They had to rely on themselves for everything.
The result was not very optimistic. The technology displayed by the unknown person, who was suspected to be an earthling, was beyond their understanding.
The rapid-fire warships could analyze on their own, and could even automatically construct a few rough models for analysis, but which strategy to adopt required them to make their own decisions. If they couldn't understand anything and made a random choice, it would be like randomly clicking on the various options on the control screen, accumulating them one step at a time, and the result would naturally be obvious.
It might be better to leave everything to the fast battleship itself. Let it choose the best response after calculation. This was the helpless action of a low-level lifeform in a high-level spaceship.
But their task was to delay the time, the longer the better. The battleship itself could not calculate the parameter variables such as the conversation between Mia and the unknown person at the moment, unless it could analyze the changes of the unknown person's zero-dimensional consciousness.
There were also important parts such as deception, anti-deception, fake escape, real escape, and so on. They needed to be completed by themselves. The battleship could only calculate the best choice based on the current information.
Although the result of the calculation was not optimistic, it was strange that the other party did not immediately attack, as if they were waiting for something.
No matter what they were waiting for, for the fast battleship and for Mia, it was the best situation.
The liquid substance at the spot where the starlight was fluctuating gradually condensed, turning into the shape of a battleship for a moment, then into a huge human face, and the next moment, it changed into the shape of something they had never seen before.
Mia tried her best to talk to it, not caring about its tone at all. She was still trying to buy time, "What do you want?"
It said, "We have been looking for it for a long time, but we could not find its whereabouts. It was not until recently that we found it here."
Mia did not know whether what it said was true or not. Did it track the main fleet on the galactic battlefield, or did it find it again in the dwarf galaxy? Qi Chen and the others had quickly reported its suspected origin to her. The only thing they could be sure of was that it might be a human from a certain era, and it was indeed looking for something.
The new ship didn't get anything new recently. There were only two things. One was the treasure ship that Chu Yunsheng got from the fake Tyrant, and the other was the weapon that he got from Banlulu's spaceship.
If it was telling the truth, then it might be one of the two. If it wasn't, then the range of suspicion was too big. How many things did Chu Yunsheng and the three elemental races have, and what they were, Miya naturally didn't know.
She tried asking, "Is the thing you're looking for from the Milky Way Overlords, or did it appear on the battlefield of the Milky Way Andromeda Galaxy?"
The liquid substance didn't answer. Instead, it calmly said, "We know you're stalling for time, but it's useless. You're aging at an accelerated rate, and you'll all die soon. This isn't something you and the Outsiders behind you can fight back. We don't need to attack you, we're just waiting for you to die, and then we'll take that thing."
Mia immediately asked, "Then why did you save us?"
It said, "Of course we have our reasons. You don't have an era leader, so you are not qualified to know."
Mia didn't get angry. As long as it could stall for time, it didn't matter how cold and arrogant it sounded. Then it said, "Our life is indeed slowing down, what can you do to save us?"
It said coldly, "You don't need to know."
Mia had to change her approach, "Then what should we do?"
This time, it said, "Kill all the aliens in your spaceship, and then fly to us."
Mia immediately realized that she had asked the wrong question and pushed herself into a dead end. But at this time, she could only bite the bullet and continue, "Who is us? Who is the alien race? "
It said coldly, "You understand."
Then it added again, "You don't have much time left. Stalling for time is just a ridiculous struggle. We can tell you that this kind of power is not something that you and the aliens behind you can fight against. You and them are just overestimating yourselves."
At this time, Mia found it hard to continue, but she had to. While she was thinking, the strategist suggested, "We can ask it, if we are willing to give it what it wants, does it have a way to get us out of this predicament, in exchange for it?"
Time was tight, Mia didn't have the time to look at the purpose of the suggestion, but since it was passed by the strategist, there must be a reason for it. She immediately changed her approach and asked.
The liquid substance's tone was still the same, it said quickly, "You will all die soon, we only need to wait."
Mia then used the second suggestion of the strategist, "We will die, but before we die, we can launch that thing into the deep space, or destroy it directly."
It said coldly, "You can't destroy it, we can still catch up to it even if you launch it. There's no need to struggle anymore, no need to waste your time. We don't care what you do! Both you and them are destined to die. Only we can save you. "
Mia then gave the third suggestion, "If that's the case, we will open it!"
The liquid substance paused for a moment, it said after a moment of silence, "You don't know what it is, and you don't know how to open it. Our words are still the same, we don't care what you do.
You don't even need to purposely find a topic to stall for time, we will not attack, we are only waiting, waiting for the inevitable death of you and them. "
Since it said so, and it didn't show any signs of attacking, both sides fell silent.
Mia didn't expect that her task of stalling for time would be so easy, but it was precisely because of this that the other party's words had some credibility. The fact that it didn't attack meant that it was certain that the new ship would die, so there was no need to take the risk.
Mia became even more worried, the purpose of her stalling was for the new ship to succeed, if it couldn't, then there was no point in stalling.
In the silence, she projected herself into the strategist's meeting room and asked, "Why did you ask the last three questions?"
At the time, she didn't have time to ask in detail, and the three questions proved to be useless.
Qi Chen, as the highest-ranking deputy of the strategist, spoke on behalf of everyone: "According to your conversation with them, we should be safe for the time being. Mu Ran just proposed a hypothesis, if the new ship succeeds, then it might be our time to be in danger instead, so we discussed and decided to give them a psychological suggestion first, once the new ship succeeds, we can use this psychological suggestion to increase our chances of survival."
Mu Ran then stood up and said: "Captain, once the new ship succeeds, they will definitely experience a short period of psychological confusion, if they really are earthlings from a certain era, then their situation might be similar to ours, a high-grade ship paired with a low-grade lifeform, once their psychological confusion appears, they might make a mistake, and once they make a mistake, it will be our chance."
Mia looked at everyone and asked her: "Do you believe that the new ship will succeed?"
Mu Ran firmly said: "Yes, I believe!"
This might not be the truth, but Mia needed her to say it for everyone on the ship to hear.
Then, Mulan frowned and said, "Captain, I still think there's a bigger possibility. They might really want to take us away and capture us alive. In that case, they won't wait until the moment they think the new ship and we are dead. Instead, they will suddenly attack before that happens. However, they won't attack the new ship but us. Their goal is to capture us." Mulan frowned.
Mia also frowned, she had a bad feeling: "You mean they are also stalling for time, because they are not sure if they can capture us alive? Do they still need to wait for more power, or wait until our life force is at its weakest? "
Mu Ran said: "Yes, but this is only my guess, I need you and Officer Qi to make a decision."
Qi Chen said: "I think this possibility is very possible, so we have two choices, one is to continue to wait, to buy as much time as possible for the new ship, but we may be in great danger; the other is to take the initiative to attack, if the enemy is indeed not strong enough, this is our only chance, but if our guess is wrong, we will definitely fail, and the new ship will be in danger."
He only mentioned the two choices and the consequences of the two choices, without any bias, he let Mia make the decision.
Mia thought for a while, she did not have too much time to carefully weigh the pros and cons, she had to make a decision quickly.
This was a necessary quality for a military commander, especially at a time like this, she had to make a decision quickly, hesitation would only make things worse.
After a while, she made up her mind, on this point, Staff Officer Chen was convinced. She was very decisive, of course, his superior was even more decisive.
Mia looked at everyone, her eyes finally fell on one of them: "Ali, you bring a team over, get close to them, if you can capture the opportunity, the attack will start from you!"
She did not say what to do if they could not capture it, she did not need to say, if they could not capture it, according to military rules, they would naturally retreat quickly, but in reality, they might not be able to return.
This was a suicide mission, it was very cruel, but now the whole ship was carrying out a suicide mission.
Ali did not hesitate, the old captain's words were an order, he immediately stepped out and said: "Yes! But I have a request. "
Mia immediately said: "Sure, say it."
Ali looked at her: "I want to choose my own people, decide how many people to go, this mission is not small, only I can make the decision myself, only then I have the confidence to complete it."
Mia hesitated for a while, looked at Mu Ran who was standing with him just now, there was no time to waste, she said: "Sure, you choose your own people, we will set off immediately!"
Ali smiled and said: "Thank you, old captain, I will be leaving, wish me good luck."
After that, he flew straight to the cabin door. Mu Ran was stunned, she was already prepared, but she did not expect …
Ali's self-selected list, there was no one else but himself.
She looked at Ali's back and could not help but say: "Captain?"
Ali did not turn back, he waved his hand and said: "It is not far from us, you guys can stay here to support me, all of you live well."
