Chapter 445: Chapter 263: A New Overlord-Level Civilization
Shen Shi naturally understood Gong Chu’s meaning.
The situation faced by these civilizations is actually almost identical to the situation of human civilization in the second future line.
Even though they clearly know what kind of consequences the so-called "support" from the Es Civilization will lead to, they are utterly powerless to stop it. Many of their compatriots have even accepted reality in a kind of despair, convincing themselves to strive for integration into the Es Civilization.
But in reality, who truly wants to abandon everything they have, especially their own culture?
When the opportunity presents itself before them, even if it’s just to make an attempt, not many civilizations would completely refuse.
Of course, Shen Shi understood very well that relying on this alone was not enough to make so many civilizations participate; there are naturally many other crucial reasons.
For example, wanting to use this opportunity to explore the reality of the Es Civilization.
It’s not just human civilization that discovered problems with the Es Civilization. These C9-level civilizations may not have perceived more detailed information, but they can vaguely see some issues from the Es Civilization’s recent actions. Not to mention, when the Pirate Alliance invited these civilizations, they clearly pointed out the Es Civilization’s weaknesses.
If this is true, then regardless of whether they can gain benefits from it, it is a matter of critical importance.
It could even affect the entire interstellar civilization ecology within the Milky Way Galaxy.
Moreover, there are other factors.
For instance, civilizations that become part of this alliance will naturally have a collective stance when facing the Mude System or other matters in the future. Not to mention, the Mude System might face a collapse of upper order. Even if it doesn’t come to that point, this alliance has a natural stance of interest, and any civilization not joining might face a dire situation.
Coupled with the clearly powerful and highly threatening Pirate Alliance,
it is only logical that such a situation would result.
Originally, these C-level civilizations in this operation were merely playing the roles of confusion and cannon fodder.
However, looking at the densely packed green dots on the star map, Shen Shi suddenly had other ideas.
If the future of human civilization is to establish an interstellar system of the scale of the Mude System, then it is not something a single civilization can support. It inevitably needs countless civilizations to support it, and indeed, the more the better. Only with a large number of civilizations combined can it be called a true interstellar civilization social system.
But where do so many civilizations come from?
In the past, Shen Shi did not consider this civilization, for in this vast cosmos, what is least in short supply is various civilizations.
But now he thought, if he could bring over all the civilizations within the Mude System, could it quickly advance humanity’s development?
Don’t think these civilizations are useless because they’re weak. Their greatest use lies in their potential, representing endless resources.
Moreover, there seem to be other roles for them, though Shen Shi currently does not know them all.
He pondered for a moment and decided to utilize them regardless of their usefulness.
"Pass the order down, take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen relations with these civilizations. No need to establish any formal associations, just strengthen them."
"Yes!"
Shen Shi’s order quickly began to progress.
Although he only said a simple sentence, countless elites would draw up comprehensive plans for that sentence.
This is the power of a great civilization.
And currently, the entire strength of human civilization is still concentrated in this operation as much as possible.
Human civilization has mobilized over a hundred million various B4 level warships, weapons, and devices from the Solar System.
There are also countless more basic pieces of equipment.
Apart from the resources used to support other future lines, this time almost all of human civilization’s reserves have been brought out.
After all, human civilization has only recently stepped into B4 Level.
And this quantity, this strength, even far exceeds the total of these C-level civilization alliances.
They are just hidden within, unknown to others.
As said from the beginning, they are just cannon fodder and cover.
Such an unprecedented commotion, at such a close distance, naturally cannot be concealed; at least the forces within the Es Civilization’s Mother Star Region must have discovered something.
With time, Es Civilization’s probes began to become more frequent and numerous.
"Activate the counter-detection plan," Shen Shi decisively ordered when their numbers reached a certain peak.
Next, countless Es Civilization probe warships were discovered, destroyed, or even captured by the already prepared Pirate Alliance. Even those in the Primordial Energy technology field were counteracted.
The strength of the Pirate Alliance was displayed to the fullest.
Whether or not the Es Civilization was scared is unknown, but at least those C-level civilizations were terrified.
Although they didn’t expect to play a significant role in this war, each of them also had a thought deep down to explore the strength of these veteran B-level civilizations.
But this brief confrontation has vastly exceeded their imaginations!
