Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 517 - 299: Strengthening the Powerful Image

This is indeed a difficult point to resolve effectively.

At present, Human Civilization finds it hard to remain low-key, yet its strength is still lacking, making direct confrontation difficult. Unfortunately, there are practically no alternative strategies available.

Shen Shi frantically calculated in his mind and ultimately realized that to resolve the dilemma and truly make Human Civilization the absolute ruler among the stars, he must start with the main world line, as the fourth future line has little room for maneuver.

"The discovery of the New-type Original Energy Spore Technology happens a few centuries later... no, it should be its recognition." Shen Shi meticulously revisited history, easily noticing that the Thousand Alliance’s initial actions took place more than two thousand years ago, yet this trend emerged even earlier.

In other words, the New-type Original Energy Spore Technology had already begun to spread within the Thousand Alliance much earlier. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

And it garnered the attention of the actual higher-ups.

Although the cohesion of the Thousand Alliance is not as strong as the Mude System, and it lacks a truly powerful ruler or a highly unified will, this does not mean the Thousand Alliance lacks cohesion.

The top ten civilizations represent the cohesion of the Thousand Alliance.

Even with humans mastering such critical technology and clearly demonstrating the potential to surpass these two systems and dominate the entire Cosmos, only one of these ten civilizations opted to join the Human Interstellar Empire. This alone reveals that the upper echelons of the Thousand Alliance possess considerable cohesion.

Strictly speaking, humanity’s greatest opponent is not the entire Thousand Alliance.

But rather, the remaining nine civilizations and the many civilizations they control.

"Maybe, it can disperse the Thousand Alliance as early and as much as possible." Shen Shi focused his attention on the one civilization that joined the Human Interstellar Empire.

This civilization is named "Entropy."

Yes, it is a transliterated name.

This "Entropy" carries the meaning of entropy in human language.

The Entropy Civilization’s membership in the Thousand Alliance is not short, yet this civilization has remarkably distinct cultural characteristics. Born in a barren Star System with a small star and only three planets including the life planet that nurtured their civilization, they have lived in extreme hardship from their inception.

Endless natural disasters, scarce resources.

Hence, throughout the long development, the civilization gradually established a culture of resisting natural calamities, which further evolved into a culture of resisting doomsday.

This is also the source of their name.

The Entropy Civilization steadfastly believes that all things will inevitably perish, including this Cosmos, which is also on a path to extinction. Thus, the ultimate goal of all civilizations, including their own, is to survive the extinction of the Cosmos.

This culture is exceedingly rare.

To some civilizations, it sounds like an interstellar version of worrying about the sky falling.

After all, regardless of whether the Cosmos will perish, that day seems extraordinarily distant in the absence of any signs. Most civilizations will likely destroy themselves first for various reasons before that day arrives.

Worrying about such things appears utterly pointless.

Yet, it is this unwavering belief that continuously drives the strength of the Entropy Civilization.

Shen Shi can confirm that their choice to join the still-weak and perhaps incapable Human Interstellar Empire must also be influenced by this cultural underpinning.

After all, while the Human Interstellar Empire may not be able to truly defeat the Thousand Alliance and the Mude System, may not truly grow strong, with not low risks of premature failure, it cannot be denied that possessing the Holy Land, the New-type Original Energy Spore Technology, and even the Fantasy Legion Technology gives the Human Interstellar Empire the qualification and potential to go further than the Thousand Alliance and the Mude System.

If the goal of the Entropy Civilization’s development indeed is to reach the end of the Cosmos and overcome its destruction, then it should align with the more future-oriented Human Interstellar Empire, rather than abandoning distant prospects for temporary gains.

Therefore, Shen Shi contemplated if it could be possible to engage with the Entropy Civilization earlier.

However, there are significant risks involved.

It is not just because humanity has more potential that they would surely join; there are numerous other ways to leverage this potential.

Not to mention, with humanity’s current strength, rashly seeking out the Entropy Civilization could likely result in losing the initiative and getting suppressed in reverse — using human potential does not necessarily need humans to lead.

Nevertheless... given the ability to foresee the future, some daring attempts might indeed be made.

"In any case, first, decipher which civilization leaked this information initially." Shen Shi has some vague notions in his mind, but transforming them into feasible plans still requires time.

This does not prevent him from simultaneously excluding and avoiding mistakes made by his avatar Shen Shi.

Most importantly, doing everything possible to curb the spread of the message, keep humanity under the radar, and delay developments is something that undoubtedly needs to be done.

Shen Shi quickly identified the civilizations that the Xisoke Civilization first attempted to win over.

However, he found that even memories from the Future World did not reveal which among them was the traitor.
