Shen Shi suddenly realized.
This attack seems to be more complicated than he had imagined.
The Daike Civilization is the dominant power in this Star Domain, managing more than just one civilization. A war initiated against the Daike Civilization would directly impact all civilizations throughout the Star Domain.
For instance, this time.
His original intention was merely to eliminate the Daike Base, thus delaying the Daike Civilization’s investigation time, but the result directly affected tens of millions of other entities.
In retrospect, he had not understood how humans in this future timeline dealt with relations among other civilizations.
Shen Shi immediately opened the information library to investigate.
After joining the Mude System as a C-level Civilization, the Human Civilization also cultivated other weaker civilizations while actively waging wars against other C-level civilizations. Without doing so, it’s difficult to support the contributions required by the Mude System.
That’s why the entire civilization is actively expanding outward.
To some extent, it’s a form of external invasion.
As the sphere of influence of human civilization expands continuously, its control over other civilizations strengthens further, making wars against other C-level civilizations more convenient since it can significantly reduce lengthy interstellar travel and communication time.
Moreover, this is the necessary path within the Mude System to become a B-level Civilization.
The influence of each B-level civilization extends beyond just the vicinity of the Mother Star.
Should he continue on this path?
Especially looking at the desolated Space City before him, which had become lifeless under his ordered Primordial Energy attack.
Shen Shi didn’t know.
However, as the victor of the war, this city now belongs to humanity.
"We need some time to bring this place under full control," Shen Shi said to Iwen, "You take charge of the Primordial Energy Technology, and leave the other technical domains to me to handle, ensure no loophole is left."
"Yes!" Iwen responded solemnly.
Soon after, a large swarm of mechanical octopuses appeared directly in front of Shen Shi.
This made Iwen’s heart skip a beat.
She could clearly see that this was a group of fully automated machinery designed specifically to clear the battlefield and recover spoils, with technology levels likely very high, at least reaching C7, possibly even C8. Controlling such a captured prize base posed no challenge.
The ship’s captain before her even seemed somewhat unfathomable.
However, Iwen placed more focus on her mission. The Primordial Energy Domain could only rely on her—no loopholes must exist!
Subsequently, Shen Shi also quickly got busy.
What he had to do was plenty.
He had to scan the entire city, invade every permission point, disrupt all devices that could not be controlled, and separate all intelligent life forms within the city, remove their weapons, modify them, and keep them guarded.
Although Human Civilization bore no enmity with these civilizations.
Yet, in interstellar society, especially within the Mude System, unless part of a covenant civilization, all other civilizations were capturable, even saleable.
Therefore, Shen Shi had no intention to lift restrictions on these intelligent life forms to engage in "friendly" interactions.
Of course, he didn’t intend to convert them all to batteries or eliminate them all.
In the following half-month, Shen Shi even went to the second future timeline, and used Gold Coins to purchase various models and designs of battlefield processing devices to assist, ensuring nothing would go wrong.
Finally, within a month, the entire base came under his complete control.
Communications blocked, evacuation could commence.
All intelligent life forms were disarmed and thoroughly guarded, while a few with significant Primordial Energy prowess, especially those Dike Soldiers, were sealed within Primordial Energy Batteries. The device also served as the best restraining equipment for those with top-notch Primordial Energy Mastery.
"Initiate leap," Shen Shi ordered.
He initially wondered if any other Daike people would return to investigate, but was disappointed when none did.
Just as history recorded in the future; Daike people didn’t send small reconnaissance troops until a hundred years later, and three hundred years later, larger forces arrived.
As the three triangular structures of this Daike Base continually compressed inward, Shen Shi could distinctly feel the bizarre phenomenon brought by the spatial distortion, wherein even his body seemed to start twisting. Yet this was merely a result of the drastic curvatures of optics.
The contrast with the Iwen was stark.
In the next moment, the massive object arrived directly at Jupiter.
That’s right, after two consecutive leaps, it appeared right in front of Jupiter, only eight hours away from Blue Star.
And precisely hovered above Jupiter’s Moon Europa.
Shen Shi felt fortunate; luckily, he didn’t employ the Collector’s massive Wogte for combat in the first future timeline, lest he should have been unable to counter the formidable presence of these Daike Battleships capable of intimidating several nodes around.
And this colossal entity, with a diameter exceeding Blue Star, instantly stirred vehement reactions from all humans in the base upon its emergence above Jupiter’s Moon Europa!
