Chapter 190: Chapter 135: More Support from the Star Sea_2

After all, this is a major event concerning the life-and-death crisis of all of humanity!

"First, we need to affirm that the major advantage Star Sea holds over Mude still lies in concealment. They have already discovered where Mude is located, that is here, the Milky Way Galaxy. Yet Mude has no idea where Star Sea’s main camp is. This means, as long as Star Sea needs to maintain this advantage, they cannot appear in great numbers; they must try to hide themselves as much as possible. It’s essential to understand that under the powerful Primordial Energy Technology, it’s hard for the consciousness of intelligent life to keep secrets." Shen Shi had thought through all the logic before he arrived.

A lie often requires more lies to cover it up.

Fortunately, Shen Shi was merely stating the facts in another way.

In the face of tangible support, no one would doubt. Even if they did, at most, they’d think there are some secrets unknown to them.

So at this moment, the high-ranking officials below all nodded one by one, accepting this explanation.

Presumably, this is also why they haven’t seen other Star Sea people until now.

They also hadn’t considered Star Sea launching a massive military campaign, which would mean formal war with the Mude System.

At this moment, everyone’s feelings had calmed down; they could keep their composure and listen to Shen Shi explain everything.

"However, what I know is that Star Sea is indeed highly vigilant against the Mude System. They want to gather more information, which is partly why we have a chance to receive more support." Shen Shi stated once again.

Upon hearing this, some people seemed to have an epiphany.

One individual couldn’t resist raising a hand and, after receiving permission, asked:

"Could I interpret this as Star Sea wanting to use our human civilization as their proxy or agent to explore intelligence on the Mude System?"

This was indeed what many people thought at this moment.

Of course, even if it is the proxy, it is still the opportunity many civilizations crave; without such opportunities, they’d only be farmed and become Primordial Energy batteries.

"It’s both correct and incorrect," Shen Shi replied. "Given the current strength of human civilization, even including the Worren Fleet and the Daike Civilization, we’re far from qualifying to participate in such high-level confrontations. So strictly speaking, the one willing to provide us more support isn’t the whole of Star Sea but rather a faction within Star Sea that I’m relatively familiar with. The previous loan was also obtained from them, and the reason for providing more support is simply because our victory showed them our growth potential, the possibility of defeating Worren, and even posing a certain threat to the Daike Civilization — so this support, to Star Sea, is more of a future investment or a strategic move."

This explanation is clearly more reasonable.

Even if Star Sea really chose a proxy, there is no reason to choose such a weak humanity.

Throughout the Mude System, there are countless more powerful and valuable civilizations to support.

But if it was merely a strategic move due to Shen Shi’s existence and humanity’s potential, it could be understood.

Soon, another hand was raised.

It’s someone from the Eastern Country.

Getting Shen Shi’s signal, this person whose real age couldn’t be inferred from appearance stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, I have two questions. First, since it’s merely a strategic move, can it give us hope to defeat Worren, especially the Daike Base behind them that directly threatens Blue Star? Second, is it really just this small victory with equipment and numerical superiority that lets them see our growth potential and even believe we have the chance to threaten the Daike Civilization?"

Upon hearing these two questions, Shen Shi couldn’t help but feel a bit impressed.

In such a short amount of time, they not only clarified all the logic but also directly asked the critical questions.

These are indeed the two issues most concerned by others.

The first concerns whether humanity has a chance to overcome the current crisis, and survive a while longer in the face of the dark power of the Mude System. The second concerns the specific reason for this support, and also relates to the distant future.

If Shen Shi hadn’t been prepared, mistakes might have occurred.

"For these two questions, I’ll answer the second one first," Shen Shi said slowly. "First, this victory is not as simple as you think. We did have more powerful equipment, but for forces that have only been exposed to interstellar training for mere months, our troops couldn’t fully exploit this equipment advantage. Some functions of the warships were even still locked. Besides, this was a communications system occupation campaign that allowed no mistakes... You must already have some understanding of the combat process and should see the risks involved."

What Shen Shi said was indeed correct.

Even with better equipment, this small-scale battle was still a huge challenge for humanity’s Interstellar Forces.

In several recorded histories of the future, it always ended in failure.

Without Shen Shi cheating by receiving specific intelligence through future historical records, the result would have been the same.

"Moreover, the impact of this victory on the entire campaign isn’t as simple as you think. I can say, if not for the existence of the Daike Base, solely relying on this victory could establish half the winning probability of the entire Worren campaign!" Shen Shi once again shared military intelligence that previously existed only in his mind.

Indeed, everyone was shocked.

In their previous understanding, the main reason for choosing this tactic was to delay the time for Daike Base to discover their changes.

But, establishing half the winning probability directly?

"Is it only relying on the trap you mentioned earlier?" The person asking couldn’t help but speak again.

"That’s right, the trap," Shen Shi nodded. "That’s the answer to your first question. If we relied only on ourselves, just on my little loan, the traps we could set wouldn’t amount to much. But with further support, it’s entirely different; it can maximize the outcomes this victory brings! And this is the strategic preparation we must carry out next — we need to set stronger traps in more distant places! This is harder than building a Planet Fortress, requires more effort, but the trap’s level is so high it can even be considered a small part of a Star System Fortress!"

Yes, the tactics of using the Curvature Oscillation Period paired with other devices to set traps is indeed the common method for Star System Fortresses.

Of course, its strength is far from comparable to a real Star System Fortress.

But the enemy is only an E-level fleet.

Shen Shi can guarantee that once the Worren Fleet steps into the trap, it will bring them a huge "surprise."

And after these words, slight murmurs appeared again, as people below started brief discussions with those beside them.

Now, they are no longer primitive natives ignorant of interstellar matters; after this period of learning, many have grasped the concept of "Star System Fortress," which belongs exclusively to C-level civilizations, and is also prepared for enemies of C-level and above!

The demands for equipment and technology far exceed what humans currently imagine.

After all, even a mere Planet Fortress already leaves all humanity in awe.

And support related to a Star System Fortress is merely a casual strategic move?

This reveals the gap between interstellar civilizations, far beyond their imagination!

But in any case, this is indeed a great thing for humanity.

As for paying more?

There is an investment, which is much more fortunate than standing in despair, unable even to struggle!

So gradually, joy appeared once again on the faces of most people.

Of course, someone couldn’t help but inquire about another matter that couldn’t be ignored.
