Patiently listening to Chu Tianjiang and Ali talk about the situation, Zhang Xiaogang was silent, and his expression was very solemn.

"We speculate that the attack on the Akachi system was a creator whose main purpose was to prevent us from starting a war and to focus on consolidating the Alliance's defenses."

"It's possible, but I don't think it's very likely."

Chu Tianjiang and Ali both frowned, waiting for Zhang Xiaogang to continue.

"If your assumptions are true, then there are two prerequisites. One is that this creator thinks that he is not Ali's opponent, otherwise he would not have to do so, and he can achieve his goal by killing Ali. The second is that the intelligent civilization of this creator is close to us, and it is very likely that our chosen target, at least in the near future, will become our target of invasion. ”

"Both of these prerequisites exist." Ali said.

Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a smile and said, "Then, let's look at each other from the other party's point of view. What would you do if you were the creator of the attack and in order to achieve the same goal? ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, a war directly against human civilization is more effective than attacking other intelligent civilizations in the Alliance. Even if this guy is not sure of defeating human civilization, as long as the war burns to the second home, human civilization will suffer heavy losses, and it will be difficult to launch an expansion war in the short term. On the contrary, targeting the weak intelligent civilization in the alliance, let alone one Akachi galaxy, even if dozens of star systems are lost, human civilization will not be greatly affected. Besides, after making such a speculation, we will definitely find a way to fight back. Considering the threat, we will inevitably adjust the deployment of the expansion war to ensure that the enemy's war potential is the primary purpose, and the capture of the enemy's star system is only a secondary purpose. In order to achieve the main goal, we will obviously return the favor with others, destroying the enemy's star system in the same way, and certainly starting with the enemy's home system. ”

Ali nodded slightly, she had such an idea before she met Zhang Xiaogang.

Even if it is impossible to know which creator of the intelligent civilization launched the attack, it can still be used to eliminate the potential threat through indiscriminate attacks, so that the creator will suffer heavy damage, so that he will lose most of his abilities, and he will not be able to continue to pose a threat to human civilization.

"You're saying that the creator is more powerful than we think?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Ali won't do this, so neither will the creator who is comparable to her do this, only a creator who is strong enough will dare to do this." Of course, the intelligent civilization of that powerful creator is obviously not within the scope of our attack. ”

"The problem is ......"

"Why did he do this?" Zhang Xiaogang smiled and turned his gaze to Ali.

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you think that his target is Ali?" ”

"Obviously, you don't think that's possible. In your opinion, if the enemy is strong enough, the most direct way is to kill Ali and then get everything on Ali, there is no reason to use these tricks, because doing so will only make Ali more vigilant. Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly, and then said, "The question is, have you thought about it?" If he had any scruples, and Ali wasn't going to be tied up, and you had been following Ali, would he still do it? A direct attack may allow him to take out Ali, but casually get what he wants from Ali, and it will get him in trouble for it, and it may even allow Ali to escape because of your presence. ”

"This ......"

"If that's the case, he knows me very well." Ali said.

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Not only does he know you very well, but he also knows Chu Tianjiang very well, and he knows that your true strength is stronger than what is revealed. ”

"Deria!?"

Zhang Xiaogang shook his head slightly, and said: "It may not be Delia, after all, there are many people who know you, and in the Charent War and the Arcadia War, you all showed extremely strong strength, and killing Valentine can make all the creators know that you are stronger than you appear." If that guy knows the details of Valentine, he can even know Valentine, and you get a lot out of Valentine. ”

Ali was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened.

"If this speculation is true, then his purpose is most likely related to Valentine."

Ali nodded slightly, she had already thought of this.

"The question is, why would he do this? Even if all the intelligent civilizations of the alliance are wiped out, they may not be able to pose a threat to Ali. ”

"But it was able to stop us from expanding so quickly."

"This ......"

"Obviously, if we stop the pace of expansion, even if it is only slowed down, it will not be long before human civilization is destroyed. When the time comes, there may be only one option for Ali, which is to exchange what he has in his hands for the right to live. ”

Chu Tianjiang frowned and said, "In other words, this guy may not immediately attack human civilization?" ”

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Ali is closely related to human civilization, and if he kills human civilization, he will not be able to get what he wants no matter what." As long as it is still the star system of the Alliance's intelligent civilization that is attacked, not the star system directly controlled by human civilization, this speculation can be proven. Of course, if human civilization is directly attacked, then there is a high probability that this guy will no longer need what Ali has mastered. ”

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

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and turned his gaze to Ali.

"I did get a lot of information from Valentine, including tips for making fusion and convergence cores, and I've told you everything."

"Perhaps, there is still some information, but it has not been noticed by you for the time being."

Ali pondered for a while and said, "There is indeed a lot of irrelevant information, and there is also some disorganized information that I don't see any meaning at all. ”

"Obviously, the key is in the information you can't read."

"This ......"

"Valentin has clearly taken refuge in the Punzhi family, and has used the support of the Punzhi family to increase his strength, and it is very likely that he is involved in a huge conspiracy."

"A conspiracy related to the Punzhi family?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Perhaps, he is not a direct participant in the conspiracy, but it is very likely that he knows something related to this conspiracy, and the guy who attacked the Akachi galaxy obviously knows this and wants to obtain these things." ”

Ali nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Obviously, if he is very strong, he will directly kill you and Chu Tianjiang and get what he wants from your head." He didn't do that, showing that he wasn't strong enough, so he might not be able to deal directly with you, nor against human civilization. In any case, judging from the current situation, he will not act rashly for the time being. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"Do what you have to do."

Chu Tianjiang and Ali were both stunned, and looked at Zhang Xiaogang a little incomprehensibly.

"Whatever that guy's purpose is, the only way for us to protect ourselves is to become stronger and make him a bogeyman."

"The problem is, the Akachi civilization is finished, and if we don't do anything......"

"The intelligent civilizations of the other alliances will rebel?" Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Actually, this is the least thing we need to worry about. Even if the news spreads, we can tell the other allies that it was a nearby intelligent civilization that destroyed the Akachi system. Of course, we wanted to avenge the Akachi civilization, so we started a war and destroyed that intelligent civilization through the war. ”

"What if the attacks don't stop?"

"Then find some more scapegoats and keep waging war."

"This ......"

"Of course, there are still a few things we need to do. For example, let the Alliance's intelligent civilization save the basic information, and promise that if any of the Alliance's intelligent civilizations are devastated, we will open a new home for them and resurrect them in the new home. This is a huge project, but we must do it, after all, those allied intelligent civilizations have come to us in order to survive, and if we cannot guarantee even the most basic right to live, we will not be able to gain the trust of those intelligent civilizations. ”

Chu Tianjiang and Ali both nodded, this is a better way to deal with it.

"In any case, we can't stop there."

"Got your target chosen?" Ali asked.

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Since the Akachi galaxy has been completely destroyed, let's choose a powerful intelligent civilization nearby." ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, he had to admire Zhang Xiaogang's single-mindedness.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang also knew that Zhang Xiaogang's analysis was more in line with the actual situation, and the creator who destroyed the Akachi galaxy might not directly deal with Ali, nor would he destroy the second home, but he just hoped that in this way, Ali's strength could not be increased quickly. But Chu Tianjiang didn't feel that he could sit back and relax, that is, after Ali's strength increased, that creator might change his opinion.

Regardless, a powerful Ali is a huge threat to that creator.

If he can't defeat Ali and get the information that Ali took from Valentine, he may just get rid of Ali for the sake of secrecy.

Obviously, protecting Ali is more important than anything else.

Chu Tianjiang did not express this concern, because he knew that even if he said it, Zhang Xiaogang would not give up launching an expansion war because of this.

The heavy responsibility of protecting Ali fell on Chu Tianjiang.
