We all looked curiously at Xiao Qing. She said she already knew what they were after.
Seeing the curious looks in our eyes, she said, "They should be after us. They stole all the data from the two bases and abducted the senior researchers there. Their target was never your time project. After all, their understanding and grasp of time far surpass yours. To put it bluntly, they simply had no use for your research project. Of course, if you think they wanted to stop your research, they only needed to completely destroy your findings and kill all the senior researchers. There was no need to make things so complicated. That does not fit the results of the priority algorithm. If they truly are our kind, then they should also follow the priority algorithm and would not do meaningless things."
I asked her what the priority algorithm was. She said that before doing something, they would devise several contingency plans, evaluate their priorities, and finally choose the most scientific one. That was the priority algorithm.
And with their brains developed to between thirty and fifty percent, their mental processing was hardly inferior to that of our computers.
So they did not rely heavily on computers as external tools, nor did they rely on so-called systems. They trusted their own abilities more.
She was right. If the other side merely wanted to stop this research project, they could have simply destroyed both bases completely. That would not have been difficult for them at all. There was no need to take the data and abduct people. With their abilities, they could have destroyed this base so thoroughly that nothing remained.
"That is why I said they are after us," Xiao Qing said calmly.
I still did not quite understand. "But if they
