Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 140 - 110: The 1st Batch of Cosmic Battleships_2

Although Shen Shi wasn’t as excited as the other young people, he still looked up, staring blankly at the sky rippling above.

He had seen similar scenes in the films recorded in the Future World.

But that was the dispersal of the shield.

This is humanity’s last barrier. After this, as long as people look up and see its existence, they will know that civilization is safe. Its destruction, however, will be a catastrophe for humanity.

"It’s really beautiful..." Ai Xin’Er said beside him, also looking up, "Will the sky always be like this in the future?"

"Of course." Shen Shi squeezed her hand, whispering, "Even three thousand years from now, it will still exist on Blue Star."

Yes, three thousand years from now, Blue Star will have this barrier as well.

What Shen Shi needs to ensure is that it exists continually for these three thousand years.

Throughout the rest of the day, whether turning on the TV or opening a mobile phone, discussions and reports about the protective barrier flooded everywhere, with all sorts of photos and videos. People began to gradually refer to it as the "Sea in the Sky," because not only does it look like an ocean suspended in the sky when viewed from the ground, but from the Space Base, it appears more like a real ocean.

It simply lacks storms and giant waves, featuring only tranquil protection.

Afterward.

People’s enthusiasm would inevitably gradually wane. The barrier in the sky hadn’t changed at all, but people had grown accustomed to it, and gradually accustomed themselves to this wartime preparation lifestyle.

Some even felt that life now is far better than life before.

People were more united, from the top echelons of the Human Federation down to the most ordinary individual, all striving towards a common goal. Moreover, people began enjoying a variety of high technologies, whether it be much more advanced and smooth mobile phones, Star Spirits capable of 24-hour chat, kawaii or regal, supporting various personality settings, or even Cell Activation Potions capable of restoring body health, or learning devices that quickly enrich one’s brain... these all brought experiences unimaginable in the past.

The more like this.

The more people longed for victory.

Only by defeating the enemy could they truly possess this better era; otherwise, all this now would be nothing but an illusion.

On the other hand, as the Commander of deep space warfare, Shen Shi also knew that the time to set out was approaching.

This was his calculation based on the recorded history of the future.

If he in that history attacked immediately after finding the scout units of the Worren Fleet, then the detection system identifying the scout units should just be in this recent period.

Meanwhile.

The soldiers of the Human Fleet were also making various preparations.

Through Gong Chu, Shen Shi acquired a biological replacement military factory from the Future World, which was placed inside a Sky Base under construction. This military factory, producing for the original human prototype, will allow each soldier who enters to possess a steel body specially designed for deep space warfare, discarding weak flesh and blood. This not only enhances their combat power but also increases their survival rate in space warfare.

At this point, the Human Fleet only lacked the Cosmic Battleships.

"The first batch of old warships has all been modified and tuned." Gong Chu, in a shop at the black market, reported progress to Shen Shi, "Considering that those piloting them have only had months of training, we have locked certain capabilities, which can be unlocked as the operators’ skills improve to protect them..."

Listening to this, Shen Shi felt somewhat helpless in his heart.

He already knew that these warships from Gong Chu, or the warships of future human civilization, differ significantly from the Wogte.

Inheriting the Worren Fleet, human civilization equally evolved towards the direction of biological modification technology.

In other words, their warships merely better fit human aesthetics externally, but the underlying technology closely resembles the blood-flesh-and-machinery-intertwined, menacingly grotesque biowarships that Shen Shi had seen in images.

This kind of warship technology naturally has its advantages.

For example, in combat state, operators can directly connect with the warship’s nerves, turning the entire warship into external armor for their bodies.

It even becomes part of the body itself.

This not only allows operators to command with near-instinctive efficiency but also participate in combat with extreme flexibility.

Yet the drawbacks are also evident.

The captain, as the main operator, is the core of the warship system, while all other personnel, including those pilot small single-pilot warships into battle, are part of the warship system.

It’s somewhat similar to the relationship between a hive and its swarm.

It’s imaginable.

Just how immense is the mental pressure faced by the captain as the core.

Even with AI assistance and distributing most of the work to other secondary commanders in the warship, this pressure remains overwhelming for the ordinary.

Thus, when humanity was just starting, locking certain functions, and even loading some secondary warships was unavoidable.

Although human warriors are at a stage of rapid growth, time is still very tight.

"How many warships are in this first batch?" Shen Shi asked.

"Two hundred and twelve full-loaded sub-frigates," Gong Chu replied.

"Enough to deal with the enemy’s scout units," Shen Shi quickly conceptualized in his mind.

Don’t be deceived by the number of just over a hundred; these sub-frigates are dozens of times the size of the Wogte. Each such sub-frigate, fully equipped, carries five thousand small single-pilot warships, over a million unmanned combat units, and requires at least eight thousand combat personnel.

In other words, just these over two hundred sub-frigates require at least 1.6 million soldiers!

And this is only the first batch.

According to Gong Chu, if all old warships were brought in, the total number of various models would be over eleven hundred. Full combat readiness requires at least ten million well-trained Interstellar Forces, and ideally, no less than fifteen million.

So, for humanity now, the biggest issue is whether they can train such a massive fleet of ship-borne troops.

The current human population of six billion is considered very few in a true interstellar civilization.

After all, it’s confined to a small planet.

Resources and space are incomparable.

For example, the number of warships of the Worren Fleet reaches over ten thousand, referring to warships with sub-light-speed engines. The small single-pilot warships aren’t even counted. The total number of Worrens in the fleet was at least over two hundred million.

And this is only an insignificant survivor fleet of the Worren Civilization.

If it were an interstellar war between two D-level civilizations, the sacrifice of billions of lives and the destruction of nearly ten thousand warships might just be losses from a medium-sized local war.

Even Gong Chu’s Dongfeng Corps has nearly thirty thousand warships in its ranks, and this is just a private security company, the strongest one at that, still incomparable to the formal corps of an entire civilization.

Of course, the true value of the Cosmic Battleship doesn’t lie in its number.

The resources in the Cosmos are unimaginably vast.

The mass of a single Jupiter is more than three hundred times that of Blue Star, and countless asteroids orbit the Solar System.

For a civilization whose microscopic technology has reached the proton level, turning stone into gold is a mere trifle.

Aside from a few rare resources, the majority can be produced in massive quantities.
