Chapter 429: Chapter 255: The Prototype of the Interstellar System
When Shen Shi’s consciousness returned to the avatar of Line Three, he immediately understood the dramatic changes in human civilization in this future line.
Just in terms of its hard power, it had already reached B3 level!
Even Shen Shi hadn’t anticipated this outcome.
It’s important to know, when technological development reaches this stage, the pace of growth inevitably becomes extremely slow.
This is the inevitable trend in the quest to explore the truths of the cosmos.
Therefore, after reaching B-level, achieving further stage-based development in a short period of time also becomes exceedingly difficult.
The more likely scenario is stagnation over a long period.
And from the Earth Star Era to now, how much time has passed for human civilization on Line Three?
Only a little over 4,000 years!
Over 4,000 years to B3 level?
Even Shen Shi himself, a master player, was astonished!
Normal development is definitely impossible, so the explanation can only be one - plundering!
Plundering technology! Plundering population! Plundering equipment!
Only when built upon plundering could such a miracle be achieved.
Recalling the reason for the changes in this timeline, Shen Shi seemed to already foresee the future.
And when he further explored this history, the situation was as he expected.
When human civilization completely fled the Mude System and entered a desolate area outside the Milky Way Galaxy, around 1,300 years into the Starry Era, a plan was born, the interstellar pirates plan.
Human civilization gradually nurtured members from seven different races.
These included not only humans, Cosmic People, but also Daike People.
Yes, at this time, the Daike Civilization had already vanished, and these Daike People were the only remaining Fire, but after destroying the Daike Civilization, humans were surprised to find that the Daike’s inherent hunter culture had made them highly receptive to the transformation between hunter and prey.
Not all of them, though.
However, upon learning that human civilization was the prey they once targeted, amid intense internal conflict, many Daike People expressed submission, and the voluntarily inscribed Primordial Energy Steel Seal was sufficient to eliminate the possibility of feigned submission.
Thus, Daike People were also chosen as one of the "Seven Pirate Kings."
In this vast Galactic Sea, flying under the name of the Pirate Alliance, they continuously plundered within the Mude System.
Their footprints covered all star systems within the Mude System, their prey included countless, even those powerful B-level civilizations at times found themselves prey, the Pirate Alliance’s reputation became a new legend in the Mude System in less than two thousand years.
Moreover, this brought enormous benefits to the human civilization behind it.
Of course, these powerful B-level civilizations within the Mude System naturally took action to eliminate them.
After all, pirates are an indelible existence in the Galactic Sea, especially within the Mude System; it’s even more excessive. Regardless of which level or civilization, countless people attempt to escape this oppressive system, escape their despairing past, and rely on pillage in the vast cosmos until death.
Hence, over countless years, many have considered forming such an alliance.
But under the strong power of the Mude System, these attempts failed.
In fact, even relying on B7, B8 level warships this batch owned would find it difficult to succeed; after all, this is only something a Three-Day Civilization can casually take out.
However, the trading market owned by human civilization played a terrifying role within the Pirate Alliance.
As long as each pirate gang had someone who could utilize the trading market, they could, at the most critical moment, urgently teleport all warships and personnel anywhere through the trading market, something any Anti-Teleportation System couldn’t solve. Even the strongest Primordial Energy Weapon couldn’t affect those avatars already entered into the trading market!
The Pirate Alliance truly achieved coming and going without a trace!
Of course, losses were not nonexistent.
But with the Mude System not yet taking it seriously, the Pirate Alliance still managed to gain far more than they lost.
Even the resources and devices of B-level civilizations had been plundered by the Pirate Alliance multiple times.
The entire alliance was gradually becoming more powerful!
And relying on the resources obtained, the strength of human civilization was continuously growing.
Only Shen Shi knew that the resources human civilization now possessed were enough for them to develop to B4 level within two thousand years!
"That really is unexpected." Shen Shi mumbled to himself after understanding all this.
In his view, the truly terrifying aspect of the Pirate Alliance wasn’t just about resources.
But that it had begun to tap into the terrifying potential of the trading market within the Star System Social System.
Yes.
From the beginning, Shen Shi was very clear that the trading market was practically the perfect foundation for establishing a truly powerful interstellar social system.
Know that Gus Land solely relied on the identity of the trading platform to continuously develop and even reached the A-level civilization level, while the convenience of human civilization’s trading market is terrifying!
Even more domineering!
Even the rules of Gus Land don’t openly require other civilizations to integrate into their culture but instead must use seemingly fair and just rules to slowly invade other civilizations’ cultures.
