From The Start, I Traded A Galactic Warship - Chapter 39

Chapter 39 The Corporation Named Star Ocean

The civilization had been destroyed, but the people still existed?

Todd and the others could not understand for a moment.

However, they instinctively realized that this was definitely not something good!

“Benefits are also the main theme in interstellar society. War is just a method to obtain benefits, and intelligent creatures have a certain value in the interstellar world.” Shen Shi straightened his back and swept his gaze across these people one by one. He said slowly, “Whether it’s humans or the Wo people, the reason for the invasion lies in these benefits. Of course, weakness is still the original sin.”

Everyone who could understand this sentence opened their mouths slightly in a daze.

It was as if the endless universe around them had become an abyss that had fallen into hell.

In the information era, who did not know that a man’s wealth was his own ruin?

Even though not all alien civilizations were brutal and warlike by nature, and even though there were still peace-loving civilizations, when it came to the fight for benefits, the entire universe would definitely be drenched in blood!

Especially when these benefits even included intelligent life itself!

If one did not fight for benefits and work hard to become stronger, one would be the benefits being fought over and invaded!

“It’s actually so… dark.” Chief Engineer Lu’s body swayed slightly, as if he could not accept that the universe that he and countless astronauts loved immensely was covered in endless bloodshed.

“You’re right.” Shen Shi glanced at him. “The essence of the universe is darkness. Before the birth of a peaceful order, any place is bound to be chaos and darkness.”

This logic was so simple that even a junior high student who had studied history could understand.

How could everyone present not understand?

The reason why it was so painful and uncomfortable was because this was not in line with the current interests of the people of the Blue Planet.

It would even bring endless danger to the Blue Planet, to humans, and to themselves.

However, even though the end of the world would eventually come, in the moment before its arrival, humans would still have to face everything

Therefore, Shen Shi did not give them buffer time.

Instead, he continued, “In fact, this interstellar society has already formed an order that maximizes benefits. More than 99% of the individuals in the Wo civilization have been reduced to spoils of war. That was the outcome countless times more despairing than that of slaves. However, there were still 1% of them who were ‘pityingly’ bestowed with a shred of freedom. They became a part of this interstellar society, becoming hyenas, wandering endlessly in pursuit of a salvation that could never be reached.”

The scene changed again.

A completely different fleet slowly sailed out from the mother planet of the Wo people.

Metal and flesh intertwined, turning into each other’s cages. Just by looking at the hideous appearance, one could sense endless pain. It was as if they had fallen into hell and turned into demons that were burned by flames all day long. Then, they madly vented their pain on everything they saw.

Everyone seemed to have understood something

Todd stared fixedly at the fleet.

These were very likely the invaders!

No matter how pathetic their history was, no matter how much pain they were in now, they were the enemy of humanity!

“This is the enemy the Blue Planet is going to face.” Shen Shi’s words confirmed everyone’s guess. He was also looking at the fleet and continued, “The Wos can no longer be called a civilization. Their technology has been replaced from head to toe. The original technology tree, the original culture, and the legacy have all been completely destroyed. The so-called interstellar nomadic fleet refers to the fleet that has forever lost its mother planet and lost its future. It will forever wander in the galaxy, invade, and eventually perish.”

They were the hyenas of the Rancher.

Shen Shi was the same as the people in front of him.

The more he understood, the more he could sense the cruelty of the universe.

Destroying civilization and enslaving the citizens was not the end.

They would also give false hope and let you struggle to survive in a pain that was worse than death.

What was the difference between the future humans and this fleet?

They would also lose the past and lose the future!

“Sir, is their current technology stronger or weaker than before they perished?” Willard asked in the East Kingdom language with a clear accent.

Born in the Western Alliance, he was obviously more realistic.

He did not care at all how tragic the history of this fleet was. He only cared about how powerful the enemy was!

“There’s not much difference from humans,” Shen Shi replied, glancing at him.

Willard was silent for a while.

There was indeed not much difference.

Humans did not even have a cosmic warship! And the enemy had an entire fleet!

However, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes, which had just dimmed, lit up again.

“Compared to the power you, Sir, belong to?”. he asked.

This question was quite direct, but Willard could not care less. He was eager to know where the hope was!

Todd also looked at Shen Shi.

They had not forgotten that the alien who had led them in earlier had said that this spaceship belonged to a corporate civilization!

Faced with this question and the cautiously expectant gaze of these people, Shen Shi fell silent.

He naturally understood where the hope was.

According to the classification of levels in the Mulder System, the humans in the future 3,000 years later would be D-class, while the invaders three years later would only be E-class.

This was hope!

However, the problem was that it was unlikely for him to obtain the full support of the entire civilization in the future just by relying on the antique trade on the black market.

The black market was a black market because it could not be made public.

The future humans were also closely monitored.

They were not even qualified to own a migration spaceship.

Could he change the future by relying on limited transactions?

Shen Shi was indeed confident, but he was not 100% sure.

However,

Hadn’t he already decided to give it his best shot if he had the chance?

“I belong to a corporate civilization called the Star Ocean. To be precise, it can also be called an interstellar society,” he said.

This was obviously a translated name.

Just one sentence was enough to surprise some people in front of him.

They now understood the weight of an interstellar society.

That was a force that any new civilization that had stepped into the universe could only choose to integrate or destroy upon encountering!

And the man in front of him, who was very likely the only hope for humanity, had actually found such a backer? “Don’t be happy too soon.” Shen Shi shook his head and continued to throw out the excuse he had already prepared. “It has already been described as a society. You should be very clear about the meaning behind this. Although the Wo people are only an inconspicuous fleet in the other party’s society, I have only just started the Star Ocean. However… a corporate society is ultimately different from a livestock society.”
