Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start

All I can say is, when the time comes, it's easy for the snowball to roll.

When numerous members of the Future Line No. 3 gathered in the Holy Land, Shen Shi did not say much, but rather bluntly stated, "The entire known cosmos is currently experiencing unprecedented upheaval. A fierce war between two powerful interstellar social systems, even after hundreds of thousands of years, rarely happens, but we are facing it, and with this strength, I think we also have the qualification to gain greater benefits from it. The plundering of these B9-level civilizations is merely the first bite of this huge cake; the truly rich and fertile areas are on the most intense battlefronts!"

Shen Shi's words can be described as very shallow and straightforward.

However, no one refuted him.

Even though every member could see the risks involved, the position that Shen Shi held in Future Line No. 3 was absolute, and with the foundation of a strong human civilization, the leader's position was equally unshakable.

Therefore, everyone actively discussed.

"I believe, if we want to fish in troubled waters on such a battlefield, we must fully utilize our Holy Land advantage; otherwise, merely relying on our warships, we might have a chance against B9-level civilizations, but against A-level civilizations, we're probably no different from toys," said Gong Chu.

As a standing member in charge of military affairs, Gong Chu naturally spoke from the perspective of military strength analysis.

This is just basic understanding.

But it is also the most fundamental tone in this action.

This means that human civilization must fully avoid direct confrontation with other forces, becoming a ghost swaying amidst this war, growing stronger in the shadows.

Shen Shi naturally agreed with this tone.

"We need to prepare comprehensively for war, but initially, the smaller the population base, the better. I plan to take an elite team aboard the Iwen and set off alone," Shen Shi said.

As a Sage Saint, he actually had not participated in wars for a very long time.

Even when besieging the B9-level civilization mother star area before, Shen Shi merely stood in the command interface for directing, hardly setting foot on the battlefield.

But that was not out of fear, just simply unnecessary.

In fact, for the current human civilization, taking a single ship or the entire army made little difference. This is the benefit brought by completely controlling and incorporating the Holy Land into the civilization's political system.

As long as the mother star is ready, Shen Shi has the ability to fully deploy the fleet in the shortest possible time.

Not to mention, he also possessed the most powerful primordial energy mastery and the most powerful "Iwen Battleship" in all human civilization.

So, no one opposed the Sage Saint's "risky advance."

Thus, the matter was settled.

Next, all members began discussing the details.

Everything else could be gradually perfected over time, but there was a disagreement on a critical point.

"We should focus our activities in the Mude System area," one member insisted, "After capturing the B9-level civilization mother star area of the Mude System, we've obtained a wealth of intelligence, continually deepening our understanding. This information advantage allows us to operate smoothly in the frontline areas of the Mude System, constantly grasping opportunities for benefits, an advantage unattainable in the Thousand Alliance."

Based on current known circumstances, this war clearly uses three star systems as the frontlines.

The distances are vast and extensive.

Given the strength of human civilization, even with the Holy Land, it would be best to specialize in one star system battlefield.

So, the question arises.

Which star system battlefield should human civilization choose?

The member who spoke obviously wanted to choose the area where the Mude System held the advantage, but others had different opinions.

"Don't forget, we've only understood B9-level civilizations, while the main force on the Mude System battlefield is actually those three A-level civilizations." Another member's consciousness transmission exuded calmness, "This greatly suppresses the advantage you spoke of. Conversely, according to known intelligence, the civilization levels in the Thousand Alliance aren't so pronounced. There's a large number of intermediate levels between B9 and A-level. There, we won't have trouble finding suitable targets, nor would we face drastically overwhelming danger."

Some members chose the most fiercely contested fields between the two: "The Mude System's advantage lies in cutting-edge strength, while the Thousand Alliance's advantage is in having a sufficient number of basic civilizations. I think either could be advantageous, but either could also be disadvantageous. If that's the case, why not choose the area with the fiercest combat? Don't forget, we're going to fish in troubled waters this time. If the water isn't muddy enough, how will we have a chance to fish..."

It has to be said, it's rare to see such prolonged arguments over major issues in the highest council.

But this time, it was indeed difficult to decide.

Ultimately, the information was insufficient.

If the frontline information were sufficient, models could be fully constructed, rapid computations performed with big data, and then choose the most beneficial place.

But now, Shen Shi realized that if the arguments continued, the issue would most likely be handed to him.

Only he had the qualification to make the decision.

So, after pondering for a moment, Shen Shi stopped the discussion.

"I'll go to the Thousand Alliance. At the current stage, the first thing we need to do is gather as much intelligence as possible. We've already learned quite a lot about the Mude System, but the Thousand Alliance is still too unfamiliar to us. Whichever place we go to, we can't lack intelligence on the Thousand Alliance; since that's the case, let's head there first!"

The opinion Shen Shi expressed was actually proposed by a member before, but coming from an ordinary member's mouth and coming from Shen Shi's mouth are evidently different.

Thus it was decided, moving on to the next topic, which was about the deployment of entire civilization's military forces.

It can be anticipated that the entire highest council meeting would last a long time.

But the advantage brought by the Holy Land was undoubtedly fully displayed in such places—Shen Shi, while setting off through the Holy Land, had already embarked on a long journey aboard the Iwen, even determining participants on the way and directly transmitting them to Shen Shi via the Holy Land.

"It's been a long time since I've traveled alone with you through the cosmos like this." Sitting in the captain's chair of the Iwen, looking at the curvature bubble environment outside, Shen Shi couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, it had been a very long time.

This time, even Ai Xin'Er from Future Line No. 3 did not come along.

In fact, ever since possessing the Holy Land, Shen Shi and his own wife had fewer chances to meet. Ai Xin'Er also became a member among the council members and had her own things she wanted to do. If they missed each other, they would meet directly in the Holy Land, allowing for intimate contact anytime and anywhere, no matter how far apart they were.

Admittedly, this feeling, which almost disregarded distance, was indeed strong enough.

Although it couldn't be made available to every human being, it still provided great convenience to a small number of humans.

"Captain." Iwen, in human form, appeared by Shen Shi's side, "Would you like something to eat?"

"Give me some fresh Blue Star local Earth Star beef. I heard those guys brag it is one hundred percent restored to the A-level beef taste of the Earth Star Period. Let me be the judge of that," Shen Shi's request directly brought him a taste of home.

Not just people, but other items as well, disregarded space and time.

Even if another person with a personal terminal was brought along, they could directly return to Blue Star via the Holy Land.

This also directly eliminated the psychological risks potentially brought by long-distance and long-duration interstellar travel.
