As the order was given, the Grotto Heaven also began to accelerate.
Here, it must be said, the actual navigation speed at Gus Land is not very high. Although it is always under Curvature Navigation, it only reaches the lowest level of sub-light speed. So even some low-level warships have the possibility of catching up, but with the Curvature Engine technology of the Grotto Heaven, it can get close in the shortest time.
When approaching a certain distance, all ships can receive curvature code information from Gus Land.
Without this, ordinary ships cannot directly enter its Curvature Bubble for Curvature Navigation.
This is also a reflection of technology.
At least, Shen Shi has never seen similar technology before, not even on some B-level spaceships, so Shen Shi speculates this might be high-level B, or very likely A-level technology.
If Gus Land three thousand years later has just entered A-level not long ago, then Gus Land now has definitely entered A-level in some critical technological fields.
In the end, measuring the strength of an entire civilization is not like personal power in a fantasy novel, which has a clear hierarchy system.
Mude System’s evaluation standards are also not the sole standard in the Cosmic void.
When the entire fleet of Grotto Heaven along with the Anan Civilization’s fleet all input the specific curvature code, Shen Shi and others finally entered an immensely large Curvature Bubble.
Yes, immensely large.
Although, like all other Curvature Bubbles, there is a continuous flow of radiant lights at the edge, it has been reduced to the minimum under unknown technologies. So upon entering, some people even questioned whether they were still in the Universe void.
Moreover, another rare characteristic here is that both the Curvature Engine and Jump Engine cannot be used anymore.
Everyone and every spaceship are under the effect of an immensely large engine of Gus Civilization.
Thus, with only common engines usable, a diameter of almost one light-year within the Curvature Bubble seems immensely large.
Even a B-level spaceship like the Grotto Heaven would take hundreds of years to enter the core area of Gus Land from its edge.
The trade market allocated to Human Civilization is not far.
"Most outsiders can only stay on the edge, which is the most flourishing trading area, concentrating trade markets of Level 1 to Level 5." Shen Shi explained the basic situation to the others during the journey to the trade market, "The Level 5 trade market we acquired is in a relatively void space, a star already abandoned for over four thousand years. Reopening it would take considerable effort, and evidently, this is also a demonstration of authority."
Even though they happily accepted the cake thrown out by Gus Land, Shen Shi was not naive enough to think this cake must be sweet.
Even if it’s truly sweet, it might contain malicious intentions leading to high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and diabetes behind it.
This became particularly evident after Shen Shi acquired future information.
As he said, in Gus Land, trade is most important, and a trade market is akin to a shop where location and reputation are equally important.
And what has been given now is like an abandoned supermarket in the suburbs.
Yes, the level is a supermarket, not a small shop.
But the suburban area, coupled with the word abandoned, means even a supermarket can’t make money.
Not to mention the high taxes that must be borne.
In Gus Land, one must have a clear recognition that behind everything called fairness and order is the truth of crazy profiteering.
If sufficient taxes cannot be paid, then high-level permissions become a huge burden. Here, concepts like permission downgrades do not exist, nor can you abandon the "rewards" associated with permissions. When unable to pay enough wealth, leading to debt to Gus Land, it’s time to witness the fangs behind the brilliance.
Someone, or some force within Gus Land, has not given up on the relic in Shen Shi’s hand.
This is an unabashed open plot.
Yet, even understanding all this, the high-level humans in front of Shen Shi didn’t have much concern.
Because in their hearts, they agreed to all of this without hesitation and accepted the luscious sweet cake knowing that Shen Shi must have a firm grasp of the situation.
It can only be said that until Shen Shi makes his first major mistake, the confidence of the entire Human Civilization in him will be absolute, almost equivalent to faith.
The entire navigation process probably took about two years.
When the Grotto Heaven arrived at its own "trade market," despite being prepared, they were still slightly shocked by the scene before them.
What appeared in front of them was a crescent-shaped planet with a large chunk missing.
Yes, as if a giant hammer had forcibly shattered part of it, countless shattered fragments still drifted around due to gravity, but not peacefully; rather, in a mad collision, running at high speed, wrapped in countless dust and grayish-gray atmosphere.
"Is this planet... really a planet?" Ai Xin’Er spoke with a tone full of helplessness, "The size is really big, more than ten times larger than the Grotto Heaven, but perhaps only its size matches the standards of a Level 5 trade market."
