The moment this sentence was uttered, the entire venue was invigorated.
Their greatest advantage is indeed Shen Shi, or rather, the Star Sea represented by Shen Shi.
And they finally understood.
Why the initially formidable threat of the Daike Base could be captured so easily, even seized.
Why Mr. Shen has such powerful warships yet didn’t reveal them earlier.
So this is the reason!
The power of Mr. Shen within the Star Sea is continuously expanding, and this growth reflects back on human civilization, potentially enabling Shen Shi to gain greater benefits in the Star Sea.
Those present were all top-tier figures of human civilization, elite handlers of interest relations, naturally realizing this is absolutely good news!
Just as Shen Shi stated, his interests are closely linked with those of human civilization, and the stronger he becomes, the stronger humanity becomes!
"Councillor Shen, can we obtain a high-performance jump engine transport fleet?" Someone couldn’t help but speak out.
This was the focus of their recent discussion.
In order to centralize the forces of those E-level, even D-level civilizations to human civilization, transportation is the key!
"You must understand, high-performance ships are extremely expensive throughout the interstellar." Shen Shi’s transmitted awareness carried a sense of difficulty, but in the end, he still said, "I can try my best, but while this is certainly a direction, our development must not slacken in the slightest."
The atmosphere of the meeting grew increasingly enthusiastic.
It even seemed like a century-long plan was about to be established.
But Shen Shi stopped it.
"The situation ahead will constantly change, and no one knows what will happen, so making such a plan has little meaning because the only thing we can do is never stop becoming stronger—not only overcoming all crises but also creating a glorious future for humanity!"
Upon hearing this final sentence, everyone’s eyes shone brightly.
Humanity’s seemingly endless ambition and desire is also one of the cultural features of human civilization.
Initially, upon learning of the existence of interstellar society and powerful alien civilizations, they only sought survival.
However, as they grew stronger, they began to pursue glory.
Reflecting on the initial impression, the unimaginable power of the Daike Civilization, humanity now also began to aim to defeat and replace such a civilization!
Then, what of even more powerful B-level civilization, A-level civilization, or even... Pasture Masters?
Currently, humans might still not dare to think, yet once they break through the first impossibility, the ambition buried deep within them will be completely ignited by victory and success.
While inheriting past culture, new culture will also continuously be created!
"With more support now, development plans can be adjusted accordingly. I’ll list a support checklist you can obtain, and you can draft plans based on actual needs, then let me know. Subsequently, I’ll mainly be responsible for external affairs. For instance, right now, those billions from different civilizations and races are the first step..." Shen Shi began to elaborate on his plan, with others occasionally offering suggestions.
Although the war temporarily ended, it has only just begun.
Several days after this meeting concluded, a large group of warriors and various needed talents collectively arrived at Jupiter.
Came to the captured Daike Base.
Among them was a tall man who nonetheless appeared somewhat refined, who hurried forward upon seeing Shen Shi.
"Councillor Shen, hello, I am Qi Yangqiu, the first City Lord of Daike City." He clasped Shen Shi’s hand, gently shook it twice, and released it, appearing extremely respectful.
This was not mere superficial politeness.
In fact, his gaze towards Shen Shi held evident warmth.
He was also part of the previous meeting.
Upon personally arriving and witnessing the magnificence of this Space City, his admiration and gratitude towards Shen Shi reached its zenith.
If not for Shen Shi’s presence, how could human civilization possibly have the chance to possess such a Space City?
And how would he have the opportunity to become the first administrator of such a city?
In terms of importance for human civilization, as well as for his personal life value, he had every reason to be grateful to Shen Shi.
"Are you an Eastern Country person?" Shen Shi asked casually upon hearing the name.
Nowadays, even blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners often give themselves Eastern Country names.
This is not just because of Shen Shi’s presence.
More importantly, as the Primordial Energy System spreads, more and more people are gradually realizing how vital cultural inheritance is to the development of individual Primordial Energy Mastery.
But the culture of some people’s countries is not only simplistic but also deficient.
Fortunately, for belonging to the same race, other countries’ cultures can be assimilated and used, and as one of the planet’s most profound and rich cultural heritages, Eastern Country culture is warmly welcomed.
"That’s right, I was born in Hai City," Qi Yangqiu replied.
"That’s coincidental, Hai City might as well be my second hometown," Shen Shi laughed.
"Now we’ve named a Space Base ’New Sea City.’" Qi Yangqiu followed this topic, "However, even after the war crisis is resolved, some people might still stay in the original Hai City, that city still has its unique charm."
"That’s also nice." Shen Shi nodded.
No need to worry that Space City was built in vain.
Because human civilization is bound to enter a period of population explosion in the coming days, which concerns the core interests of the entire civilization, even faintly becoming the top priority.
This means all other interests must make way for it.
After all, population is not only related to the development of a civilization but directly linked to a civilization’s strength—the greater the number, the more power a Master of Primordial Energy can exert.
"In your report, you state your wish for this civilization to become a hub for alien races?" Shen Shi turned to the serious matter.
The first City Lord seemed to have been recognized due to unique concepts and was elected, Shen Shi didn’t partake in the election but he reviewed the report.
Indeed, there were unique characteristics.
"Yes." Qi Yangqiu addressed the matter gravely, drawing all his attention instantly, showcasing his outstanding Primordial Energy Mastery, "The Daike Civilization has ruled this Star Domain for over thirteen hundred years; their name coupled with the title of C-level civilization holds enormous deterrent power among all civilizations in this Star Domain, something our current human civilization cannot possess, but we can ride this deterrence to shape our own deterrence. Naming this city Daike City serves this reason."
Shen Shi nodded slightly.
This clearly tells other civilizations.
This city was snatched from the Daike People.
If they dare to seize it from the Daike Civilization, and succeeded, let alone you weaker civilizations.
Indeed, this is a method to quickly establish deterrence.
But simultaneously, there are drawbacks.
Fear runs deep in many civilizations that dare to act against the Daike Civilization but aren’t a C-level human civilization—a dead-end.
Nonetheless, Shen Shi didn’t bring this up for that’s his responsibility.
Humanity needs to demonstrate their confidence.
