Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 277 - 179: Our Mother Star is Blue Star

In these days, Shen Shi has actually been contemplating the road ahead.

Waging war against enemies and developing the rear, indeed, have considerable differences.

Waging war, as he mentioned before, mainly hinges on equipment, intelligence, and Primordial Energy. These aspects, he can acquire through the Time Crystal and market terminal.

Even the Primordial Energy strength initially thought to require time to hone was traded for Iwen, wasn’t it?

And honestly, although Iwen still doesn’t realize she has arrived three thousand years in the past, Shen Shi understands that now she’s here, it can’t be hidden forever.

This kind of matter, once breached, becomes entirely different.

Once there’s one, two doesn’t matter anymore.

When the time truly demands, will he bring Gong Chu and the Collector, who are marked with absolute obedience and have human consciousness, care for human history?

Previously, Shen Shi couldn’t provide a definite answer.

Or even showed strong resistance.

But now, he clearly knows this resistance has lessened.

The deepening of the connection with Time Crystal has also become another source of confidence for him. When he can control time to a certain extent, and when Human Civilization becomes increasingly powerful, some past concerns won’t even count as concerns.

Therefore, regarding waging war, he truly isn’t much afraid anymore.

Unless the Daike Civilization truly realizes the threat posed by Human Civilization and suddenly deploys a formidable legion in three hundred years to combat, that would indeed bring modern humans another extinction crisis.

But, if they can truly utilize these three hundred years....

Then it seems resisting such a degree of crisis might not be impossible.

So, this is also why after reading the report, he decided to personally meet this first City Lord.

He started to focus on the rapid development of the entire civilization.

"You stated in the report that you wish to control all the Alien races here, making them the first batch of captives to contribute to human development. Then, which race do you plan to start with?" Shen Shi asked, "This point wasn’t mentioned in your report."

"Of course, the Daike People!" Qi Yangqiu answered without thinking.

"Oh?" Shen Shi could roughly guess the reason, but he couldn’t articulate it.

"The Daike Civilization is indeed crucial to our upcoming development strategies." Qi Yangqiu spoke about the plan with eyes that seemed to be gleaming with light, "Since some civilizations think we are doomed, why not lean towards this direction? A civilization that’s almost dying has nothing to fear and acts recklessly. At least, those E-level and D-level civilizations have no power to resist our ’last-ditch counterattack’, and when they gradually realize our strength is increasing, it’s possible that we won’t ’die’, then we’ll slowly take everything from the Daike People, including prestige and territory."

Shen Shi understood this time. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

It’s essentially about this matter.

Since we’re targeting the Daike Civilization, we must seize everything from them.

Equipment can be seized.

Reputation and prestige can also be seized!

"Then let’s start." Shen Shi slightly squinted his eyes.

He decided to first observe well, especially to see how such changes would bring choices for the future.

However, Qi Yangqiu looked at him with a face full of fervor.

"Next, we will need Councillor Shen to lend more support."

"..."

As a consequence, Shen Shi followed and arrived at the "prison."

There’s no alternative; when Qi Yangqiu mentioned those words, Shen Shi realized he’s essentially the only person in Human Civilization who can be considered a "Primordial Energy Master". Other warriors, no matter how well their bodies were modified, even using the same C9 Level Life Purification Device as him, once they stand in front of those alien Primordial Energy Masters, would be exposed.

A civilization with warriors whose Primordial Energy skills are this feeble can hardly establish fame or instill fear.

Even if they possess the power to capture warships here without injury, it remains the same.

"To use a metaphor, Human Civilization right now is entirely akin to a dwarf with a giant’s leg." Qi Yangqiu spoke with a smile as he went with Shen Shi to the prison, "And facing other civilizations, just extending this giant’s leg lets the enemy mentally conjure up the entire giant shape."

Shen Shi understood, he himself is that giant’s leg.

So he’s the one who has to do it.

Interestingly enough, he previously performed as the "tip of the iceberg" for a massive iceberg, now he again plays the role of "giant’s leg" for Human Civilization, this sort of "deception" seems like it’s specially arranged for him.

However, as long as the goal can be achieved, what does it matter if it’s deception?

Shen Shi is adept at deceiving for his own sake to assist humanity, and it’s even simpler to deceive these aliens for humanity’s sake.

They quickly arrived at the destination.

This "prison" wasn’t specially constructed by Shen Shi; it was already part of this Daike Civilization’s base.

After all, under the interests of Primordial Energy batteries, most civilizations don’t treat intelligent life by directly killing and discarding them into space. Hence, this "prison" is specifically prepared for those "quasi" Primordial Energy batteries.

From the outside, it appears like a series of narrow bubbles, meticulously packed together, squeezing each other into deformation.
