Chapter 249 - 165: Entering a New Phase
Shen Shi now already has a thorough understanding of interstellar warfare, so he understands clearly that interstellar warfare is not about placing bets, but about the balance and confrontation between information and intelligence, technology and vision.
Unless absolutely necessary, both sides in a conflict will try to fight each other only when they have full confidence based on the existing intelligence and information.
Therefore, that Daike People’s Master of Primordial Energy chose to give up when the distance to the jump point was less than two light years.
Because the true performance of Iwen completely exceeded his expectations, forcing him to raise the probability of estimation for human intelligence—acquiring a warship of this level, possessing even the lowest level of civilization-level energy device, is a likely event. The frenzied assassination of Iwen also became a tactic to reduce their troop numbers. After all, when the number of individuals is reduced to a certain extent, their strength in primordial energy will also be greatly weakened.
And this explanation also became one of the reasons many among humans revered Shen Shi.
It seemed as if Shen Shi had accounted for all of this, even having assurance before the war.
But only Shen Shi knew.
He was really just gambling.
"Succeed, and become a Sage Saint; fail, and it’s all for naught. I clearly hate doing such things," Shen Shi laughed self-mockingly.
According to his understanding of himself, he disliked gambling and the feeling of uncertainty.
Yet based on a plethora of information brought to him by Time Crystal after this change, these other future lines of Shen Shi can actually be regarded as his consciousness residue.
In other words, the choices made can be regarded as ones Shen Shi would have made in the same environment.
