The situation was now completely clear.
The decision of what to do next was in the hands of the Machine Calamity.
But Li Qingsong had only left them with two options.
One, you lose 100%, and I lose 100%, and we all die together.
Two, you lose 95%, and I lose nothing.
Either face the fury of the stellar flare, or face the ambush of hydrogen bomb traps; you have to choose one!
This was Li Qingsong's entire plan.
After more than two hundred years of preparation, and several adventures along the way, Li Qingsong had finally guided the situation to this point.
Li Qingsong himself, of course, would have preferred the Machine Calamity to choose the second option. After all, that way he wouldn't have to abandon everything he had and start all over again.
More than two thousand years of long and arduous effort, two thousand years of painstaking effort, never daring to relax for a moment, never daring to be negligent, to develop to the stage it is today, was it easy for me?!
But…
If he were in their place, Li Qingsong knew that he would definitely choose the first option.
Losing 95% was not much different from losing 100% in his opinion.
Since they were going to suffer heavy losses anyway, they might as well lose even more and kill their opponent as well.
It's better for us to both lose than for you to win alone!
Even more than just Li Qingsong. He knew that if it were any orthodox intelligent civilization, as long as it was dominated by intelligent life, they would most likely choose "lose-lose is better than win-win."
Whatever you choose, I'll take it!
Inside the supercomputer mothership, the logic processing units were still running madly.
"If our side refuses to retreat, then the probability of the prey civilization detonating the hydrogen bomb ships and causing a stellar flare is judged to be: 100%. Therefore, the probability of our front-line fleet being completely annihilated: 100%.
If our side retreats and encounters an ambush of numerous hydrogen bomb traps, the estimated loss rate of our front-line fleet: 95%.
After dying together, our side will completely lose the probability of capturing even one intelligent life from the prey civilization, rate of return: 0%.
If we retreat, even if our side loses 95% of its front-line fleet, and given the opponent's previous performance of strong fighting will and solid defense, our side's remaining combat power will not have the ability to capture the prey civilization.
But after our side recovers in the future, we can still maintain the hope of capture.
Based on the principle of maximizing benefits and minimizing losses, a comprehensive judgment is made, and our side's optimal choice is: retreat."
Then… retreat!
Based on the hyper-distance communication mode, the command from the supercomputer mothership was instantly sent to the front-line fleet.
At this moment, Li Qingsong saw that countless stars surrounding his own fleet in space suddenly increased in brightness.
In an instant, the space was filled with splendor, as if the vast galaxy had truly descended to his side.
The madness in Li Qingsong's eyes gradually dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He knew that he had bet correctly.
After all, the Machine Calamity fleet was different from an orthodox intelligent civilization fleet.
At this moment, it made the choice of maximizing its interests. The reason why those stars suddenly increased in brightness was because they simultaneously activated their thrusters and fled at full speed away from the star.
They were starting to retreat.
However, even though the Machine Calamity fleet had begun to retreat, Li Qingsong did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.
Under his control, hydrogen bomb ships were still being detonated continuously, releasing powerful energy in the atmosphere of the massive star Pegasus V432, but at a lower frequency.
The reason for this was that Li Qingsong was informing his opponent that large-scale detonations could occur at any time. If you want to escape, you better escape quickly, and don't have any plans to slowly scout and clear the hydrogen bomb traps before escaping.
If that's the case, then don't even think about leaving.
Only by making his opponent truly believe in his determination could Li Qingsong's goal be achieved.
And did Li Qingsong have this determination?
The answer was obvious, yes!
Although he didn't want to start over, if it really came to the point where he had to start over, then he would start over!
If you really dare to clear the hydrogen bomb traps, I will really dare to detonate the hydrogen bomb ships!
Either lose 100%, or lose 95%, you only have these two options. Any unnecessary attempts will trigger my misjudgment and lead me to make a decision to die together.
The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
Those hydrogen bomb ships that are constantly detonating at a lower frequency are proof of my determination!
Under these circumstances, the massive Machine Calamity fleet truly began a full-force, almost reckless escape.
Faced with the asteroids in space, which were so numerous as to be almost infinite, the Machine Calamity fleet chose to break through if it could, shatter if it could, and only slightly adjust its course if it really couldn't avoid it, in order to avoid a direct collision.
In the process, where would they have the time and energy to distinguish whether those surrounding small celestial bodies were equipped with hydrogen bombs by their opponent?
Escape, escape with all your might, escape first.
So, under these circumstances, the hydrogen bombs that Li Qingsong had painstakingly deployed in the asteroid belt at the cost of countless industrial resources began to be triggered in large numbers.
In an instant, Li Qingsong saw that tens of thousands of "stars" that did not exist before suddenly appeared in the asteroid belt.
Those stars only appeared for a few seconds before they went out. But after they went out, new ones appeared, endlessly.
Countless fireworks, countless stars, extinguished and lit up again, lit up and extinguished again, circulating in this way, as if holding a grand fireworks party.
One Machine Calamity warship after another was shattered by its protective shield and dissipated into fragments or dust in the vast space.
After all, those were hydrogen bombs! The most powerful weapons in the electroweak and strong nuclear stages!
In a real battlefield, limited by their own mass and because they cannot be quickly delivered, hydrogen bombs do not have much practical significance. But at this moment, as traps, there are no restrictions at all.
Its power, its energy, can all be released recklessly and unrestrainedly.
"Fortunately, the Pegasus V432 star system is too young and has not yet formed a stable ecliptic plane. These small celestial bodies are wrapped around the star in a spherical shell shape, rather than a ring shape like the solar system, so I can truly completely deploy the hydrogen bomb traps without leaving any loopholes.
Otherwise, the Machine Calamity fleet could easily break through this defense line by choosing another direction."
Looking at the fireworks constantly flashing in space, Li Qingsong had such a thought in his mind.
Of course, it was precisely because of this that Li Qingsong chose to come to the Pegasus V432 star system and set up this trap here.
If it weren't for this, Li Qingsong would not have come here at all.
