Chapter 427: Chapter 254: Ways to Use Warships
However, the real transaction may not necessarily receive an absolute response. Although the demands proposed by Shen Shi do not pose much of a problem for the Three-Day Civilization, the complex possibilities arising behind them are enough to introduce numerous challenging calculations.
Therefore, Shen Shi cannot be certain that the transaction will definitely succeed.
But he doesn’t care much.
Because as long as a direction is found, there will eventually be a successful transaction.
The only place currently where he can obtain some sufficiently powerful devices is within these civilizations. If the Three-Day Civilization fails, Shen Shi plans to try with the Gus Civilization, and if that doesn’t work, then with the Es Civilization. After all, Human Civilization belongs under the jurisdiction of the Es Civilization, and in all honesty, all other civilizations are invasions against the Es Civilization.
Perhaps, by sacrificing support for Human Civilization, he could also exchange with the Es Civilization for enough goods. If the Three-Day Civilization represents the unwillingness to destroy Human Civilization and the trade market, then the Es Civilization represents "if it’s not mine, no one else shall have it."
When the silence reached its climax, Shen Shi received a response that was worse than expected but better than a direct refusal.
"We cannot provide you with the most powerful warships but can offer you a second-tier fleet. As a condition, you must ensure that Human Civilization gains hope, which is the basis of the initial transaction."
The meaning of the Three-Day Civilization was clear; they would not immediately agree to all Shen Shi’s demands but could only agree to parts or cut some off, leaving the rest up to Shen Shi’s performance.
Shen Shi thought for a moment and agreed likewise.
"As you wish, we will intensify our efforts to help humanity."
After leaving such a message, Shen Shi received a trade request from the Three-Day Civilization.
It was only at this moment that he realized that the communication was actually with just one individual from the Three-Day People.
Yet, this Three-Day individual connected with many others outside the trade market.
In other words.
For the Three-Day Civilization, having just one person enter the trade market is equivalent to the whole Three-Day Civilization being present in it.
Civilizations focusing on Primordial Energy Technology more or less share this characteristic.
However, concentrating all minds into one shouldn’t be the ultimate development direction of a civilization. At least, it doesn’t align with the development culture of Human Civilization.
Shen Shi cast aside these thoughts from his mind.
The human civilization of the No. 3 Future Line had already stepped into a brand-new realm, and at the same time, determined its development direction, which is balance.
Yes, the technological development of Human Civilization mostly comes from other civilizations.
From the initial Worren Civilization to the later Daike Civilization, to the Es Civilization...
Even though Shen Shi changed humanity’s fate time and again and repeatedly defeated countless enemies, the influence of these enemies remained deeply entrenched in the development of Human Civilization, existing perpetually in the form of technology. In some sense, this can only be considered as an indelible mark time leaves on Human Civilization.
But this also shaped the style of humanity.
Balanced, comprehensive...
Various similar adjectives can describe humanity.
Because humanity doesn’t have particularly outstanding technological fields, whether it’s Primordial Energy Technology, macroscopic technology, or microscopic technology, Human Civilization has achieved some development.
And now, this balance seems to become more apparent.
Because Shen Shi noticed that the warships traded from the Three-Day Civilization came from many different civilizations, with a variety of characteristics!
"Indeed, the development form of the Three-Day Civilization destined them not to need warships. These items were seized from other civilizations through powerful Primordial Energy," Shen Shi even spotted warships belonging to the Es Civilization among them!
Most of them were around B8, B7 level, but there were a few B9s.
Although it didn’t meet Shen Shi’s initial requests, it could still be considered powerful.
Such a fleet taken out was even sufficient to cause massive losses to the human civilization of the No. 3 Future Line.
However, their distinct and chaotic characteristics were also troublesome.
Shen Shi initially planned to use such a fleet to forge a powerful civilization to delay or even eliminate future resistance from the Mude System, but given the current situation, revealing these civilizations may instead attract more attention to humanity.
No, another approach is needed.
Shen Shi returned to the real world and convened another parliamentary meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are close to successfully escaping the Mude System." Shen Shi did not mince his words in his opening remarks, stating the purpose of this operation, "A new round of support, or rather, a test from the Star Sea Company is imminent."
Instantly, many minds began quickly exchanging ideas.
After all, Shen Shi consistently explained the origins of some aspects acquired from other future lines using Star Sea, including the immensely powerful Star System Teleportation System from before.
At that time, it had caused a sensation in the highest-level meetings of humanity.
By now, these individuals within the highest meetings of humanity were no longer the initial beings who knew nothing about the cosmos. They knew clearly that the system Shen Shi brought was the same as the one from Gus Land, or possibly even more powerful.
