Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 496 - 288: Sharpening Knives Against 1000 Allies_2

Chapter 496: Chapter 288: Sharpening Knives Against 1000 Allies_2

Especially in close relation to the operations of the Pirate Alliance.

Therefore, in the end, Shen Shi even picked up the pen and confirmed the legality of this special area, proposing to concentrate all illegal personnel from other regions here, allowing them to atone for their sins while continuing to contribute to the light and warmth of human civilization.

And in the end, when Shen Shi sat back on the throne, his whole demeanor seemed to have changed.

At least when Gong Chu and others saw him again, they were amazed at his transformation.

"Master Sage Saint has become even more formidable."

Yes, even Gong Chu could only use the word formidable to describe him. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Unlike in the past when there was a grand pressure, the current Shen Shi was unusually calm, like a truly ordinary person, even his actions appeared extremely casual.

For example, Shen Shi no longer kept his back straight.

It was somewhat relaxed.

If this posture were adopted by someone else, even a Standing Member, it might give an impression of disrespect and lack of solemnity, but on Shen Shi, it only made him seem more mysterious and unfathomable.

"The essence of Primordial Energy lies in control, control of the mind, control of emotions, but as we grow stronger, we have vaguely moved out of the realm of ’intelligent life.’ Yet this change may not necessarily stem from the heart, so being able to return is truly what matters," Shen Shi said, glancing at the contemplative Gong Chu, and added with a smile, "There’s no need to hurry, it’s not an easy task, take your time."

In fact, if Ai Xin’Er had not accompanied Shen Shi for the past two hundred years, Shen Shi might not have been able to achieve this so easily.

Ai Xin’Er was different after all.

Being with her always allowed Shen Shi to easily find the initial feeling.

The emotions and sensations from before owning the Time Crystal, before possessing power, before stepping into this magical starry sky.

"So, what brings you all here now?" Shen Shi looked again at the others.

Chen Feng was also present.

All were members of the military field of human civilization.

And all were explicitly part of the "Shen System."

Obviously, they had a purpose for coming together.

"Yes, we hope to reignite the activity of the Pirate Alliance," Gong Chu said as the representative, "This is no small matter, so before presenting it in Parliament, we hope to know your opinion first."

In some ways, the scene in front of them was a vivid demonstration of Shen Shi’s personal prestige.

This behavior, of private discussions before formal meetings, clearly violated the basic principles of the Highest Meeting system.

And this intention, even this action, cannot be hidden under the rules of the Highest Meeting.

The reason it doesn’t cause problems is simply that no member cares.

In fact, seeking Shen Shi’s opinion first on critical issues where decisions could not be made has become an "unwritten rule" in the Highest Meeting.

If you must say, it...

This unwritten rule was only absent when human civilization in the No. 2 Future Line was under the deep influence of Emperor Ji.

At this moment, Shen Shi also didn’t care about such things, he was seriously contemplating what Gong Chu had just said.

Because, in the coming long period of time, up to five thousand years, human civilization mainly needs to focus on absorbing technology, so Shen Shi had ordered the Pirate Alliance to execute a semi-covert shrinking action.

In fact, at this moment, they didn’t particularly care about those trivial B9-level civilization matters either.

If they were to plunder, it must be A-level civilization things.

However, having a conflict with A-level civilizations right now wasn’t a wise choice. If it were the No. 3 Future Line, human civilization might be okay, but the main world line human civilization couldn’t properly utilize the spoils from the No. 3 Future Line yet, lacking the capability for direct confrontation with A-level civilizations.

"Do you intend to focus on plundering, or on training troops?" Shen Shi asked again.

"Training troops!" Gong Chu replied this time without any hesitation.

Shen Shi nodded.

He understood now.

The visible five thousand years of peace made these generals feel a sense of crisis. As the war between the Mude System and the Thousand Alliance System gradually intensified, the battlefield situation could be described as ever-changing, with all sorts of technical means and military tactics emerging one after another, and the mere simulation at home couldn’t represent even a thousandth of the real battlefield.

And precisely as human civilization grew stronger, as an independent third party, participating in the wars between the two was almost an open path.

Without some preparation, there indeed would be an unspeakable sense of uncertainty.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi began to accept their suggestion.

War cannot stop.

On the other hand, instead of suddenly leaping to the use of the most powerful warship weapon systems in five thousand years, it would be better to gradually become accustomed during the process.

"Alright." Shen Shi suddenly said, "There really isn’t much to train against within the Mude System, as the gap between C9-level civilizations and the eighteen major B9-level civilizations is immense, and there is also a significant gap between B9-level civilizations and the three major A-level civilizations. Our strength is just stuck in the middle, making it hard to find a suitable training opponent within the Mude System, which means we can try it out in the Thousand Alliance System."

Gong Chu’s emotions were lifted.

The others were almost the same.

They basically already had this intention, but having Shen Shi openly mention it undoubtedly provided them with a certain level of validation.

"Then should I propose it at the next meeting?" Gong Chu asked.

"Yes, provide a detailed plan, expose the manifestation form of the Pirate Alliance, the development method, the plundering targets, make a plan for it all, I will also release the relevant intelligence from the Thousand Alliance for you," Shen Shi said.

Even though the core purpose of these five thousand years remains focused on technological development, since Gong Chu and others have the intent, appropriate troop training, and appropriately raising the reputation of the Pirate Alliance isn’t a bad thing either.

In the previous war on the No. 3 Future Line, humanity seized not only the spoils from the Thousand Alliance System but also took quite a bit with them as part of the Thousand Alliance System, and the current understanding of the Thousand Alliance is even more thorough and detailed than before.

With this intelligence information as a basis, coupled with the Holy Land, Shen Shi believed that the Pirate Alliance could gradually build a reputation in the Thousand Alliance.

Of course, this decision wasn’t that simple either.

Shen Shi hadn’t forgotten, in a while, the main world line would also face the war previously encountered on the No. 3 Future Line.

This reputation change would inevitably impact this future, involving the birth of the No. 4 Future Line, so Shen Shi still needed to remain vigilant and attentive—if the No. 3 Future Line saw unfavorable changes because of this, it would require an emergency halt and corrections.

In summary, with the approval of Gong Chu’s proposal by the Highest Meeting, human civilization on the main world line began gearing up for the Thousand Alliance.

And not by heading to the frontline battlefield.

But by truly delving into the Thousand Alliance.

The incredibly vast distance, costing a full twelve hundred years for the entire voyage.

Luckily, once arriving with personal terminals, this long distance no longer existed as any distance.

But just when Gong Chu and others truly entered the Thousand Alliance, and Shen Shi identified the first target for plunder, preparing to make a name for the Pirate Alliance, he suddenly discovered an unexpected event from the future line’s shifting information.

"What a coincidence... randomly picking a target, and it turns out to be the Thousand Alliance’s secret research base on Primordial Energy Spores?" Shen Shi said as he looked at the historical data emerging from the timeline shift of the No. 3 Future Line and was momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized that the probability of such a coincidence was not high.

This only meant that the research on Primordial Energy Spores within the Thousand Alliance was being shared on a certain level!
