Civilization has perished, yet people still exist?
Tao De and the others found it hard to comprehend for a moment.
But instinctively they realized, this was by no means a good thing!
"Profit is the main theme in the interstellar society as well; war is just a means to acquire profit, and intelligent beings have some significant value in the interstellar," Shen Shi straightened his back, his gaze sweeping across these people one by one, he slowly said, "Whether it's humans or the Worren, the reason for being invaded lies in this profit, of course, the original sin remains weakness."
All those who understood this sentence had their mouths slightly open, their expressions dazed.
It was as if the surrounding infinite cosmos had transformed into an abyss falling into hell.
In the information age, who doesn't know the principle of having a treasure is a crime?
Even if not all alien civilizations are inherently violent and belligerent, even if there still are civilizations that love peace, but as long as the struggle for profit is involved, the entire cosmos is inevitably blood-soaked!
Especially when this profit even includes intelligent life itself!
If you don't fight for profit, if you don't strive to grow stronger, then you become the profit that is fought over and invaded!
"So dark...," Chief Engineer Lu's body slightly trembled, seemingly unable to accept, the cosmos he and countless astronauts deeply love is covered in endless bloodshed.
"You're right," Shen Shi glanced at him, "The essence of the cosmos is darkness, before peace and order are born, anywhere is inevitably chaos and darkness."
This reason is simple enough that even a middle school student who has studied history can understand.
How could the people present not understand?
The reason for such pain and discomfort is simply because it does not align with the current interests of Blue Star People.
It might even bring endless catastrophe to Blue Star, to humanity, to themselves.
But, even if doomsday will inevitably come, right before its arrival, mankind must still face everything.
Therefore Shen Shi didn't give them any buffer time.
He continued speaking: "This interstellar society has practically already formed a system to maximize profit, over ninety-nine percent of the Worren individuals have become spoils of war, a fate countless times more despairing than slavery, yet there remains one percent of individuals granted a shred of freedom by 'pity,' they become part of this interstellar society, become the hyenas, roaming endlessly in the pursuit of redemption they will never reach."
The scene shifted once again.
A completely different fleet slowly began to sail out from the Worren's Mother Star.
Metal and flesh intertwined, transforming into each other's cage, merely gazing at that ghastly form seemed to evoke endless pain, like falling into hell, becoming a demon burned eternally by flames, madly venting their own pain to all who observe.
Everyone vaguely understood something.
Tao De stared dead onto this fleet.
These, very likely, are the invaders!
No matter how tragic their history, no matter how painful their present, they are humanity's enemies!
"This is the enemy that Blue Star must face," Shen Shi's words affirmed everyone's speculation, he also gazed at this fleet, continued, "The Worren can no longer be called a civilization, their technology has been replaced from top to bottom, the original technology tree and culture, heritage, were completely destroyed, the so-called interstellar nomadic fleet refers to the fleet that forever lost their Mother Star, lost the future, forever roaming and invading in the interstellar, until complete annihilation."
They are the Pasture Master's hyenas.
Shen Shi was like these people before him.
The more one understands, the more one can feel the cruelty of the cosmos.
Destroying civilization, enslaving population is not the end.
They also give false hope, making you struggle to live in pain worse than death.
Future humanity, compared to this fleet, what's the difference?
The same loss of past, loss of future!
"Excuse me sir, is their technology stronger or weaker than before their downfall?" Villard asked with a distinct Eastern Country Language accent.
Coming from the Western Alliance, he's clearly more pragmatic.
He didn't care at all about how tragic this fleet's history was; he only cared about how strong the incoming enemy might be!
"Compared to humanity, there's not much difference," Shen Shi glanced at him and replied.
Villard fell silent for a moment.
Indeed, not much difference.
Humanity doesn't even have a single Cosmic Battleship! Yet the enemy possesses an entire fleet!
But he seemed to think of something, and the gaze that had dimmed suddenly brightened again.
"Compared to the forces you belong to?" he asked.
This question was quite direct, but Villard couldn't care much anymore; he desperately wanted to know where hope lies!
Tao De was also staring at Shen Shi.
None of them forgot that earlier, the alien who brought them aboard said this spaceship belonged to an enterprise civilization!
Faced with this question, with the cautious and hopeful gazes of these people, Shen Shi remained silent.
He naturally understood where hope was.
According to the classification in the "Mude System," humans three thousand years in the future are D-level, while the invaders three years later are merely E-level.
This is hope!
But the problem lies in, solely relying on antique trades from the black market, he likely can't garner full support from the civilization in the future.
The black market is a black market because it cannot be public.
Future humanity is also strictly monitored.
Even the immigrant ships don't qualify to own.
Can limited trades alone change the future?
Shen Shi certainly has confidence but can't guarantee it one hundred percent.
However——
Hasn't he already decided to try with all his might if given the chance?
"I belong to an enterprise civilization known as 'Star Sea,' or more accurately, it can be called an interstellar society," he stated.
This is evidently a name translated by meaning.
Just one sentence made some people's faces light up with joy.
They now understood the weight of an interstellar society.
That is the force any newly entering cosmic civilization encounters, which can only choose to integrate or be destroyed!
And this man, who very likely is humanity's only hope, actually found such a backing?
"Don't celebrate too early," Shen Shi shook his head and continued with the explanation he had long prepared, "It's already described with 'society,' you should understand the significance, the Worren are merely an inconspicuous fleet within their society, but I have only just started in 'Star Sea,' it's only... enterprise society, ultimately, it's different from pasture society."
