Under normal circumstances, opportunity is accompanied by crisis, and change inevitably brings upheaval.
This crisis hidden beneath the great change, Wen Hezhi and others can naturally foresee it.
However, there’s no way around it.
Compared to the crisis of Alien invasion, this crisis is merely a minor ripple. Even just the news of the impending Alien invasion being leaked could trigger turmoil far beyond the current level.
The resulting panic might directly lead to the collapse of order.
Therefore, during their discussions, they had already set the main tone for the upcoming period.
Maintain order, collaborate fully, and prepare for battle!
The current press conference and all the disclosed information are merely components of "maintaining order," aimed at preserving social order amid the construction of the Planet Fortress and large-scale shifts in focus.
In the entire Interstellar Society, Human Civilization is still too insignificant, so minor shocks could have unimaginable impacts.
But apart from using all our strength to get through, there’s no other way.
Ultimately, this day destined to be recorded in history still ended with the conclusion of the Q&A session; if Wen Hezhi hadn’t forcibly ended it, three days and nights might not have been enough to answer all the media questions.
Until the end, reporters were still eagerly raising their hands to ask questions, unwilling to leave even after the announcement of the end. The majority of the audience were also immersed in their excited emotions, leading many to spend the night sleepless.
Indeed, even Wen Hezhi and his peers couldn’t possibly sleep.
They must immediately convene a meeting to discuss the upcoming series of events.
And then continue the meetings.
Not just them; countless types of meetings and discussions globally will be held intensively over a long period to prepare for the upcoming great change.
On the contrary, Shen Shi, who is at the center, can find a moment of leisure.
He has already returned to his spaceship, witnessing various voices online remaining fervent and sharply perceiving the crisis hidden beneath these voices.
"Are people already starting to resist Star Sea?" Shen Shi looked at a piece of news about a protest, frowning.
Not conspiracy theorists nor Alien enthusiasts, but people bankrupt in the stock market, those worrying about losing their jobs, and those fearing that their skills will become obsolete with the coming of Star Sea.
But this is unavoidable.
With technological development, some professions will inevitably become history.
And certain skills and knowledge will be eliminated, becoming useless.
Countless people’s status, identity, and wealth will undergo drastic changes.
Shen Shi understands fully that if such voices and tides are allowed to grow unchecked, they may eventually bring effects beyond his expectations. Internal chaos in civilization is minor, but in Interstellar War, such chaos could be exploited by the enemy.
Despite being the weaker side, integrating internal resources and uniting all strengths is essential.
So, can we only rely on official guidance and control?
Shen Shi’s frown deepens.
To be honest, he holds a "positive evaluation" of his actions deep down.
Whether it’s trading the Planet Fortress, resisting the Alien invasion, or providing technology to accelerate civilization’s development, all essentially assist Human Civilization by changing humanity’s destiny and future.
As a human, this can definitely be considered a great accomplishment.
No one can doubt this.
Yet the negative impact he brings is real; he cannot deny that rapid technological advancement will inevitably cause significant pain to many.
This realization discomforts Shen Shi.
"No...," Shen Shi suddenly whispered in his heart, "Technological development should bring more benefit..."
Almost fell into a misconception.
His frown gradually eased.
Even without Alien invasion, the establishment of Star Sea Company and the powerful technologies he brought should benefit civilization, including those currently resisting Star Sea, as they will gain greater advantages, far exceeding what they’ve lost.
"Tao De and others should have long seen this result and know how to solve it. Even though I possess a deep understanding of Future World, my perspective in this area cannot compare to theirs," Shen Shi murmured, yet without self-deprecation, "but I ultimately have an ace up my sleeve that they cannot match."
He opened the information library, searching for the information he wanted, and already had a plan in mind.
But he didn’t act immediately.
Instead, he continued studying knowledge related to Interstellar War and Planet Fortress. After all, soon Blue Star’s military commanders will also undergo related training; if he doesn’t want to lose the initiative, he needs to work harder.
Meanwhile, he kept a close eye on societal trends.
As expected, just the next day, Blue Star was flooded with news from Star Sea Company.
The magnitude of the disturbance is far greater than the day before.
Even those who seldom focus on the internet, and even news, have become aware of this sudden, worldwide dramatic change.
