From The Start, I Traded A Galactic Warship - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 3,000 Years of Human History

Above his head, this vast and boundless starry sky was more dangerous and cruel than humans had imagined.

It was as mentioned in the video Shen Shi had first seen.

(The Earth Star Era has ended. The dark Starry Sky Era has begun with an all-out invasion war.]

It could be that in the beginning, humans, as a primitive race invaded by force, were only of the lowest G-class. One by one, people like him were stuffed into those black canisters as “batteries”. They were sold and used. Even “consciousness” and “emotion” were just tools.

In the span of 3,000 years, from G-class to D-class, what had humans gone through?

What price had they paid for this?

Shen Shi did not dare to think or know.

But he already understood.

When a race was labeled as a “slave”, it was difficult to find a place to live, even in the vast starry sky. One could only pray that they could escape to a place where no one could find them. Then, they could lower their heads, bend their posture, and live a completely isolated life of fear.

However, it was ironic when he thought about

it.

Even in the future 3,000 years later, humans would not be truly powerful or even free. 5% of the population would be threatened every 12 years! However, because of such a cosmic warship, he had come to the point where he had to do his best to restrain his inflated emotions.

In the final analysis, it was still because his current situation, vision, and temperament were too weak.

It might also be extremely difficult for the rich who were decked in gold and silver, but the poor would scream excitedly if they picked up a small piece of gold.

Even now, he still had the thought that it might not be bad to flee to a deserted place with tens of thousands of people and live dishonorably.

After all, this was already much better than the outcome of the billions of people who remained here.

Isn’t it so?

However, although this was reasonable, there was obviously a difference between leaving without trying anything and leaving after trying.

Even though Shen Shi had wanted to escape from the beginning and had traded for the cosmic warship to escape, he still had the urge to give a good fight.

“Even the Rancher doesn’t have the ability to cross over 3,000 years,” Shen Shi muttered in his heart.

If his ability and ambition could be increased to a certain extent, perhaps he would not only want to change the fate of modern human civilization, but also the fate of mankind 3,000 years later!

In the next moment, without going through Sebastian, he gave the order to the central AI in his mind. Shen Shi’s figure had already arrived in a huge room in an instant.

This was the captain’s room.

It was also the largest room on the entire migration warship.

It seemed to be empty, but it was equipped with the effect of simulating everything. With an invisible force field and information based on original energy, it turned the “nothing” here into “everything.”

At least at this moment, as Shen Shi walked, sunlight, the beach, the sea, and even the gentle sea breeze appeared in this room.

Shen Shi was full of praise.

It was not an exaggeration to say that technology could change one’s life. Currently, in the entire human society, he was the only one who could have such a dream-like technological experience.

But he did not come to enjoy it all.

He sat down directly on the beach chair and naturally adjusted himself to the most comfortable position.

“Let’s start with 3,000 years of human history.”

In an instant, screens of light appeared in front of him.

Yes, Shen Shi was here to learn.

What Aixin’er had said was not bad. Since he had recognized his shortcomings, he had to work hard to learn and grow.

Shen Shi now knew what the “independent information vault” given to him by the collector was. It was a backup of information, a part of the public information of the future human society. In present terms, it was a partial backup of online information.

Of course, the information about the human society of the future world was divided into grades.

Important information would not be made public.

At this moment, what he had was only some public information of the lowest level of authorization.

But it was enough for now.

Shen Shi clearly understood that the first thing he had to do was to understand the interstellar society and the future 3,000 years later. This was not just to widen his horizons, but also to prepare for the next transaction. The Time Diamond was most probably the greatest fortuity for him and the entire human society.

As the information he wanted to know kept appearing, Shen Shi gradually became immersed in it.

At this moment, he had not made up his mind if he should do anything.

However, he believed that his future self would provide the answer.

This was his confidence in his ability to grow!

The effect of learning on a warship was even more exaggerated than he had expected.

It was not just because of the comfortable environment.

It was more because the existence of original energy could actually greatly enhance his mental state.

With just ten minutes of rest, it was as if he had slept for ten hours. He was full of energy.

There was also a corresponding way to relieve physical stress.

And the central AI would always, at the most appropriate time, change the environment, adjust the content of learning, provide delicacies, and play music to maintain his state of mind for a long period of time.

If he had such an effect when he was studying back then, not to mention getting into a better university, Shen Shi was confident that he could even embark on the path of scientific research and become a renowned researcher!

In addition to the effect on learning, information of the future had also brought him great shock.

This was the period 3,000 years later which humans could not imagine no matter what.

Encountering the invasion of an interstellar nomadic fleet, which was rated E-class in the Mulder System, humans had no choice but to surrender in just a week. Then, they fell into the darkest 600 years. A large number of people were captured directly to be used as energy batteries, sold, or handed over.

The rest of the population had completely fallen into the fate of being bred.

They could only live in a “room” the size of a coffin. They were injected with liquid nutrients to be kept alive; their genetic material was extracted for reproduction, and they were restricted from learning any knowledge. They were being fed with a false history and past. They could not even compare with livestock. However, the invaders did not allow humans to die emotionally or even become numb because only the most intense, deepest, and most highly-spirited consciousness was the best “battery”.

Therefore, the invaders had been giving humans false hope and allowing the resistance to exist in order to nurture the best energy batteries.

In the 600-year history of resistance, what Shen Shi saw was only deeper despair.

To a certain extent, human civilization existed only in name.

And the turning point in this darkest history had appeared in the 573rd year of the Starry Sky Era.

Over a long period of time, the huge benefits built on the blood and tears of humans had also brought disadvantages to the invaders. The internal differences became more and more serious, and external crises also followed. This intelligent race that had invaded the humans was actually not a high-class existence in the galaxy. They were also full of flaws.

In the 573rd year of the Starry Sky Era, the leader of the invaders, an individual named Oakley, died on the battlefield on an alien planet.

In a short period of time, this E-class race of the Mulder System, which was not considered powerful, was even torn apart in the fight for benefits.

As the target of their fight, the humans seized the opportunity.

Although they had not escaped from the control of the Rancher in the end, they had escaped the fate of the most tragic G-class.
