It is not difficult to convince Chu Tianjiang, in fact, there is no need to persuade at all, because Chu Tianjiang can fully understand Zhang Xiaogang's purpose and intention.

It's just that it's not so easy to convince Arlie.

The point is that there are many uncertainties in the war plan proposed by Zhang Xiaogang, and he has not made a clear explanation of the possible outcome, and he does not even know what the outcome will be. For Ali, this kind of solution, which is uncertain, is obviously not feasible. To put it more simply, it is difficult for an intelligent individual like Ali from the four-dimensional universe to accept an uncertain future. If this uncertain future has a big impact and is related to fundamental interests, it will be even more difficult for her to accept. Traditionally, Ali still prefers the simple things to the complex, volatile, elusive.

Of course, this is also the biggest difference between Ali and humans.

For humans, the future is inherently uncertain, so humans have long adapted to it and are able to make the right trade-offs in difficult decisions.

The problem is, Arlie had to be convinced.

For this reason, Zhang Xiaogang and Chu Tianjiang spent a lot of effort to make Ali realize that if he didn't do this, the future would be even worse.

What's more, the greater the risk, the greater the gain.

According to Zhang Xiaogang, if his war plan succeeds, then when a large-scale war breaks out, humanity will be invincible, at least much stronger than it is now, so the probability of surviving the war is much greater, and it is the only way to avoid extinction.

Fortunately, Ali trusted Chu Tianjiang.

After Chu Tianjiang made it clear that he supported Zhang Xiaogang, Ali did not continue to dwell on this issue, but just hoped that Zhang Xiaogang could control the overall situation.

Of course, if even Zhang Xiaogang can't control the situation, no one can do it.

According to Zhang Xiaogang's arrangement, when Chu Tianjiang wins the final of the most difficult championship, he will launch the first foreign war, and the goal is a smart civilization that is not very large, so as to test Beka's reaction. If Becca acquiesces in the expansion of human civilization, he will gradually expand the scale of foreign wars, and change the purpose of foreign wars, that is, not only to attack intelligent civilizations in other star systems, but also to capture star systems, mine star cores in star systems, and use these star cores to strengthen the armed forces. The key is that the war of external expansion of human civilization will be carried out simultaneously with the battle in which Chu Tianjiang participates, forcing Becca to make a trade-off.

To put it bluntly, as long as Becca thinks that Chu Tianjiang is more important than a few intelligent civilizations, he will tolerate the expansion war of human civilization.

Zhang Xiaogang will be solely responsible for the specific operation.

Ali only made one request, that is, to inform her in advance when she launched a war of foreign expansion, so that she and Chu Tianjiang could be mentally prepared.

Obviously, even if Ali hadn't brought it up, Zhang Xiaogang would have done it.

After discussing these matters, Ali went to find Soya.

She has accepted Zhang Xiaogang's proposal to let Soya replace her, play God in the intelligent civilization she created, and guide that intelligent civilization on the path of rapid development. According to Ali's arrangement, when the number of individuals in this intelligent civilization reaches 20 billion and enters the stage of self-evolution, she will let Billie come to the three-dimensional universe and attach herself to this intelligent civilization, and then Billie will control this intelligent civilization.

"Lao Zhang, I know that what you do is for the sake of human civilization." After Ali left, Chu Tianjiang said something that was difficult to say before. "It's just that a lot of things can't be rushed. Either way, we're in the same boat as her. ”

Zhang Xiaogang smiled, of course he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.

"She is also a person, even if not human, with an individual consciousness. We have to understand how she feels, understand what she does. ”

"I understand what you mean, and it's not that I don't understand, but I just have to distinguish between the important and the important."

Chu Tianjiang sighed, Zhang Xiaogang was talking about the impact of Billie's arrival.

"To be honest, I'm not optimistic at all." Zhang Xiaogang looked at Chu Tianjiang and paused slightly before saying, "Ali trusts you very much, but she hasn't completely regarded you as a family member, or she hasn't changed much." Although I don't know her as well as you, my gut tells me that sister of hers is a big problem. If left unchecked, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"What's more, it's not just us who are affected, it's the entire human civilization."

"Lao Zhang ......"

"If it was just us, I wouldn't do anything. However, when it comes to the survival of civilization, I believe that we must be cautious. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Delay as much time as possible."

"But ......"

"Is there any other way?"

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, he knew Zhang Xiaogang too well, it was useless to say anything now, and Zhang Xiaogang had clear values.

More importantly, Zhang Xiaogang was not wrong to do so.

"Of course, there's another way."

"What's the solution?"

"Ali has almost absolute trust in you, and you have to take advantage of that."

"This ......"

"If I'm not mistaken, Clara must have said something similar."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned, Clara had indeed said something similar.

"I told you a long time ago that when it comes to something difficult to decide, you should ask Clara's opinion, her opinion is not below mine." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Of course, she is a woman, so she may not see the problem and solve it the same way as me." No matter what she says to you, the meaning is the same. Ali trusts you, and that's the basis for you to influence her and change her. If you can influence her and change her, even if she brings Billie into this world, it won't necessarily be a bad thing. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't expect that?"

Chu Tianjiang shook his head, he really didn't understand what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"Actually, Billie is dead, dead when the four-dimensional universe collapsed, so it is impossible for Ali to let the real Billie come to this world. She resurrected Billie to create a Billie through her own information, an existence that was completely opposite to her. If you can influence her and change her, you can influence and change Billie and make the existence she creates more in our interest. ”

"This ......"

"Understood?"

Chu Tianjiang didn't say anything, Zhang Xiaogang said it thoroughly, of course he understood.

"Of course, it's up to you to decide exactly how to do it."

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, and his expression was very complicated.

"I've said everything that needs to be said, you can do it yourself."

"Lao Zhang ......"

"What, still have questions?"

"I know what you mean, and I know that this is the best way to change Ali. It's just that I still hope that you can put yourself in her shoes. ”

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and didn't say anything.

Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "We are not intelligent beings in the four-dimensional universe, and for us, the result is not the most important thing. ”

"You've changed."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "After going through so many things, anyone will change. I feel that for us, the process is more important than the result. We have done our best for the future of human civilization, so we should not care about the outcome. ”

"You're right, the process really matters. Just, have you ever thought about a question? ”

"What's the problem?"

"You start saying that we did our best." Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly, and then said, "Are you sure that you have done your best?" ”

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

Obviously, to influence and change Ali is also to contribute to the development of human civilization. If you really do your best, you should do it. ”

"But ......"

"Of course, this is a dialectical topic, and it will be very boring to discuss. I just want you to realize that what we do is invisibly changing the future. ”

Chu Tianjiang laughed, but he laughed bitterly.

"What, you think I'm wrong?"

"It's not." Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "I also said this sentence, and I said it to others. Now, you're saying it to me. ”

Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a smile and said, "As the saying goes, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are fascinated." Your relationship with Ali has influenced your judgment. ”

"That's true."

"Go, go find her, and go back with her. Take my words to heart and ask Clara for advice when you have a hard time making a decision. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "When I have time, I will come back to you and discuss the topic of dialectics with you." ”

"You kid......"

"Lao Zhang, it's all up to you."

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Not on me, but on you." If it weren't for me, Soya would have done the same. But without you, there's nothing. ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't say much, of course he knew how important the mission he was shouldering.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Xiaogang, Chu Tianjiang went to find Ali and Clara.

Sawa has traveled to the star system where the intelligent civilization has been born, and has obtained some science and technology from Ali that can be used to accelerate the evolution of the intelligent civilization. Chu Tianjiang had enough reason to believe that even if Suoya didn't discuss it with Zhang Xiaogang, she knew how to treat this civilization. In a sense, Suoya and Zhang Xiaogang are all the way, and she also puts the interests of human civilization first.

Otherwise, Zhang Xiaogang would not recommend Suoya.

Of course, none of this matters.

For Chu Tianjiang, the most important thing is the upcoming final of the last championship. In Zhang Xiaogang's plan, he must be the winner of the last.
