Ren Zhong, wearing work clothes and covered in oil stains, stood in the Engineering Institute's workspace located on the exterior of the Tracker Spaceship, rubbing his chin in contemplation.

In front of him was a large-sized modified Water Drop Ship.

To fit the range extender engine developed by Old Qian into the Water Drop Ship in the form of a multi-stage rocket, and additionally equip it with the Blast Department for Three-Phase Bombs and High Explosive Missiles, a major redesign of the ship is required.

When Qian Wangshen was alive, both Ren Zhong and the military-industrial department heavily relied on him, and such core tasks were largely handled by Old Qian.

But now that he is gone, Qian Wangshen's ten children are still underage, and although his other disciples are capable, none have reached Qian Wangshen's level.

Ren Zhong could choose to rely on others, but ultimately he stood up to take the position of the head of the modification project team.

In fact, the original Water Drop Ship has two chief designers, one being Qian Wangshen, and the other is Ren Zhong himself.

In subsequent modifications, the Water Drop Ship also heavily referenced the Viper Fighter's concepts, even using the Viper X-type engine.

Now, Ren Zhong is merely making a comeback, which is quite fitting.

"The preliminary structural verification ends here. The ignition timing of the Second Level Range Extender needs to be delayed by 0.2 seconds, and the truss structure tilt angle of the payload bay needs to be adjusted up by 0.03 degrees. Although fluid dynamics aren't a concern in space, the ship itself is a gravitational source, often attracting space dust to it, so the ship's tail needs to be sharper. The neutron coating is dense and sturdy, but lacks flexibility and isn't suitable everywhere. For example, this connection part needs to be replaced with..."

After a long time, he finally completed all the on-site guidance within his capabilities.

The subsequent modification work falls to the tens of thousands of employees in the Engineering Institute.

These individuals will, with Sun Ai's cooperation, complete the new blueprint designs at the fastest possible speed, and finish the modification of over thirty thousand Water Drop Ships within three days.

By now, less than two hours had passed since Ren Zhong ordered the upgrade of the Water Drop Ships.

Afterward, he did not leave the Engineering Institute but instead went to the now vacant office of Qian Wangshen and began to recall the events of the four days he struggled in the previous timeline, slowly analyzing the details. He reinforced in his mind the characteristics, performance, parameters, and other details of traits like memory disorder, lurking, venom spike, thorn snake, giant elephant, sandworm, and Mother Empress Ship.

At the same time, he asked Sun Ai to retrieve the information and data related to the Ascendant's Fourth Rank Mother Empress Ship released by the Empire Intelligence Bureau, pondering and carefully studying each item.

This was a method Ren Zhong found to hone his premonition ability.

Before engaging with the Mother Empress Ship and its reproductive subunit army, no matter how much he invoked his inner obsession to speculate, he was unable to see specific combat details in illusions. He could only roughly estimate the time and area where the fleet would encounter the enemy through mathematical calculations and analyzing star map routes, but he couldn't even perceive when exactly he would die. This was not premonition at all, but ordinary simulation.

However, after receiving information from Ding Canghai and personally engaging with various Ascendant troops on the front lines, the premonition ability began to take effect.

As Ren Zhong had previously speculated, premonition is not omnipotent but is a subconscious integration and analysis of information, based on strict logic, and not fabricated out of thin air. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

To generate premonition illusions, first, the mind must have a sufficient information base, so the subconscious can communicate with the cosmic background information flow, perform deductions, then arrive at reasonable results, and present them as illusions.

Previously, Ren Zhong didn't take the premonition ability seriously, because in comparison, it seemed that Resurrection Reset was more invincible.

But now he changed his approach. Since he decided to leave and probably lose this Golden Finger of Resurrection Reset, prediction derived from information and logic becomes especially important.

After long meditation, Ren Zhong initially crafted a combat plan in his mind, and gradually, a vision appeared: he was lurking on a certain planet in C1915, looking up at the nearby Mother Empress Ship.

When he wished to continue observing, the scene would always quickly fast-forward to the moment of his own demise.

He alters the plan, and then... dies in another manner, in a different place.

"Scattered breakthroughs, concentrated impact, escorting fighters, stealthily maneuvering space asteroids closer... all for nothing."
