Chapter 428: Chapter 254: Ways to Use Warships_2
If there’s nothing in that which they don’t know, then there’s only one possibility left—the Star Sea has acquired the greatest secrets of Gus Land and optimized them.
If this is truly the answer, then it’s somewhat terrifying.
And now, the Star Sea strikes again!
"We have entered the Starry Era, lasting for a thousand years. You all should understand, the stronger our power, the stronger the civilizations we encounter. The Star Sea must be even more cautious, and upon reaching B-level, civilization characteristics can manifest through their devices. Therefore, the devices that the Star Sea is about to support us with are powerful, but they all come from various B-level civilizations within the Mude System!"
When Shen Shi transmitted the information about those powerful warships to everyone, the consciousness exchange in the meeting fell into a brief silence.
Strong?
Certainly strong!
The gap between B1 Level and B9 Level is immensely huge, bigger by countless times than the gap between the most powerful and the weakest countries on Blue Star during the Earth Star Period.
Not to mention B9.
A civilization fully reaching B3 Technology Level can easily destroy a civilization at B-level but merely at B1 Level.
Frankly speaking.
With just this fleet brought by Shen Shi, it could easily destroy the entire human civilization as it is now.
This is based on the fact that human civilization has many devices exceeding its own developmental level.
It is evident that with such a fleet in hand, human civilization’s strength will far surpass its own development, genuinely qualifying it to alert those powerful civilizations within the Mude System, and no longer be seen as collapsing at a single blow, without even qualifying to appear in front of them.
However, everyone also understood what Shen Shi meant by "test".
These warships all came from those civilizations within the Mude System!
Some warships even have clear markings on their surfaces!
And these markings cannot be changed.
For instance, one of the warships’ shape is distinctively the shape of an Es Civilization warship!
Just bringing this warship into the Mude System, even a C-level Civilization can easily recognize it!
Thus using such warships in the Mude System indeed yields unpredictable results.
Suddenly, the consciousness exchange in the meeting became intense.
"The characteristics and technologies of these warships are all different. If they gather together to head inside the Mude System, it’s too dangerous. Better to separate them."
"But if they separate, there won’t be enough deterrent force."
"Actually, in the short term, we don’t need to obtain too many resources in the Mude System, the existing ones alone are enough for us to digest over a long period, no need to use these warships."
"Didn’t you hear just now? It’s a test; how can it count as a test if they’re not used?"
"They say it’s a test, but fear that reluctance to provide warships with their own characteristics and help us arose. Just don’t know where these warships come from, if there’s any unknown risk behind them."
"..."
Shen Shi listened to all their exchanges in his mind.
Human civilization has developed to this point, and his existence naturally is an undeniable priority, but that does not mean the others can only rely on him without any highlight of their own.
Actually, Shen Shi, in most situations, would delegate the work needing intellectual analysis and thinking to these people.
While he merely uses the advantage of the Future World to hold the overall situation.
At most, only issues that must be kept confidential without relying on them would he think alone.
But now, with the cover of Star Sea, collective brainstorming is entirely possible.
And as the discussion and analysis continue, some matters also begin to be clarified.
At this moment, someone begins asking crucial questions.
"Councillor Shen, may I ask whether these devices were directly plundered from the hands of these civilizations?"
"... this point I am not aware of." Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.
He knows this matter is significant; if these devices were all plundered, then once these civilizations see them, they would associate humans using these devices with those who previously plundered them.
Yet indeed he does not know.
These warships were traded to him by the Three-Day Civilization, but he truly doesn’t know how the Three-Day Civilization obtained them.
Judging by their components, it’s highly possible they were acquired through some trade.
But it doesn’t exclude the possibility of some plundering involved.
The key still lies in time.
Some events may have already happened, others perhaps will happen in the future.
All Shen Shi knows is that these devices have all been processed by the Three-Day Civilization, preventing automatic contact with the original civilizations or detection of specific serial numbers, etc.
According to the Three-Day Civilization’s statement, these devices were initially intended for scattered sale, to exchange for some resources.
And Shen Shi’s answer understandably left some present people silent, adding more complexity to the situation.
The yet unaltered future line is enough to prove that these devices are not easily usable.
Shen Shi hesitated for a while, but still said: "Nor is it entirely without information, these devices seem to have been uniformly obtained from the Three-Day Civilization, should we use them, at least avoid the Three-Day Civilization, at least don’t directly appear before them."
"That being the case." At this time, Yulan spoke, "Why not divide and scatter, establish an organization that is both dispersed and unified, then use these devices in the name of this organization."
"Care to elaborate?"
Through consciousness links, Shen Shi quickly understood Yulan’s meaning, and his eyes lit up, inviting Yulan to detail her thoughts.
"The fact before us is that these warship devices come from different civilizations and possess strong characteristics, which actually align with the traits of interstellar pirates. Hence, I think perhaps we could establish an Interstellar Pirate Alliance to operate under the name of the Interstellar Pirate Alliance, trading, plundering, and acquiring assets within the Mude System for our use and development."
Pirate Alliance!
Many councillors’ eyes lit up.
This indeed is a method.
Neither letting the warships concentrate too much lest they be wiped out in one go, nor allowing them to be too scattered and thus ineffective.
Disperse in various places to collect gains, yet have a unified, strong backing force.
If such a Pirate Alliance could really be established, it would undoubtedly be able to efficiently utilize these devices, gaining considerable development.
Having a broad direction, everyone’s mind opened up.
"Perhaps we could be bolder, not just fictitious but truly establish such a pirate alliance, even attracting many others, even many civilizations."
"Exactly, the Mude System lacks no homeless strong persons."
"Then these warships cannot only be used by ourselves."
"The Cosmic Civilization can be trusted. Some among them surely would willingly imprint a loyalty seal."
"Not merely the Cosmic Civilization; more other civilizations need to be solicited."
"Perhaps we could form something like a pirate council of seven kings, let seven races use these warships separately, and beneath them recruit other scattered pirates, providing them with weaker B-level warships."
"How can we ensure after acquiring warships they wouldn’t flee?"
"Voluntary Primordial Energy Steel Seal is a good method, yet requires close interest connection."
"The general direction is settled, but details still need meticulous crafting."
"..."
As the councillors’ discussion continued, Shen Shi’s focus was no longer in the meeting.
He was instead monitoring the future of the third future line.
Ever since the discussion on the Pirate Alliance plan began, the third future line experienced the greatest change in over two hundred years!
