Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 102 - 91: Entering the Black Market Once Again_2

Just after finishing the first sentence, Hoson couldn’t hold back the excitement in his heart.

Capabilities, talents, he has them all!

If he joins the Star Sea, he will definitely be the first to enjoy the incredible technologies listed that he had just seen!

Hoson was even eager to send a job application email, feeling more excited than when he found his first job after graduating from college!

As for resisting the Star Sea Association?

He is not a conspiracy theory enthusiast!

...

Similar to Hoson’s situation, this is not an isolated case globally.

When Star Sea Company’s first batch of support technology listings was announced, some people who were suffering during economic turmoil were immediately attracted by these incredible technologies.

Unlike the previously showcased Space Elevator, these technologies are closely related to their desires!

Especially technologies related to the body!

Who doesn’t want to return to youth? Who doesn’t want a long life?

The internet exploded again! Most people eagerly await these products to reach their hands as soon as possible!

Although there are still some stubborn individuals voicing their concerns, it can be expected that as these products become reality, these voices will greatly diminish to the point where they can be easily suppressed.

And Shen Shi just picked out some technologies, that’s all.

He wasn’t too surprised even when he saw the effect of these.

"Next, let’s give some time for ordinary people to adapt to the dramatic changes in society and civilization." He stopped paying attention to these developments and began to focus on what truly mattered.

——Planet Fortress.

In these seven days, apart from economic and ordinary people’s turmoil, continuous changes emerged at the upper echelons of civilization, firstly with the Human Federation strengthening its functions at an incredible speed.

Secondly, each country announced a series of cooperation projects with Star Sea.

Finally, hundreds of Space Elevators appeared globally!

Yes, each was heavily guarded, but people could still gaze upon them and even see numerous containers being transported to outer space via Space Elevators.

Some people began to speculate whether this was directly preparing for the construction of Space Cities?

In some sense, this speculation wasn’t wrong.

Gong Chu has already started sending modules for Planet Fortresses, and Shen Shi placed them all on Star Sea Island. Daily, ship by ship, under the escort of warships, transport these modules to various places around the world, then send them to outer space through Space Elevators.

The entire process was commanded and supervised by Sebas, these modules will be assembled in space.

But another problem arose along with this.

——Space Suits are not enough!

The Space Suits used by those representatives were all from Shen Shi’s immigrant spaceship, but it was a small immigrant spaceship capable of housing only tens of thousands, so naturally, there weren’t many Space Suits.

But now, if one wishes to build Space Cities and even relocate some essential production lines to these Space Cities, a massive amount of manpower and resources will be needed.

The demand for Space Suits has become incredibly large.

And it’s not just Space Suits.

Currently, human construction technology can’t fully adapt to outer space, and the same goes for some large machinery.

In other words, if one wants to complete the construction of Space Cities in a short time, a countless variety and quantity of high-tech products are required!

"Gong Chu doesn’t know that there are so many people I need to protect on this planet." Shen Shi was quite distressed, "He designed the Planet Fortress to prevent the whole planet from being destroyed or occupied, but it didn’t entirely hedge against local losses, and such Shields still have the possibility of brief breakthroughs."

Building Space Cities was not part of Gong Chu’s plans.

It was only mentioned briefly in the instructions.

[The Space Base has the strongest defensive capability of the entire Planet Fortress, which can act as a living city and production base.]

This sentence made Shen Shi realize the necessity of building Space Cities; otherwise, given humanity’s population density, if during the war any attacks hit Blue Star, even if just a few, it could result in extremely tragic outcomes.

On the other hand, during the construction of the Planet Fortress, Human Civilization couldn’t contribute much.

Otherwise, it would have been completely public and fully mobilized long ago.

The majority of engineering still relies on automated machines—Gong Chu assumes Shen Shi doesn’t have much manpower.

So, what Human Civilization can mostly do in these three years is adapt to alien technology, learn alien knowledge, engage in star warfare military mobilization and training, and build Space Cities or rather space war refuge cities.

"A sense of participation..." Shen Shi sighed.

The vast difference leaves most people worldwide unqualified to participate in this war.

That’s why it wasn’t necessary to fully disclose war information in the beginning, just appease the public, select elites, maintain order, and give the people time to adapt.

Looks like I need another trip to the Future Black Market for transactions.

But this time, the transaction isn’t about high-tech products from the Future World, but production lines for relatively low-end or lifestyle products.

Such as Space Suits, personal space vehicles, high-strength construction materials, compact energy sources...

Some things, even with technology, modern civilization finds difficult to produce in a short time, but they are necessities for stepping into the Starry Era. Without them, most people might only wait on the ground and pray during this war.

Speaking of...

Shen Shi looked at the back of his hand and involuntarily became somewhat dazed.

This time, he clearly felt the connection with Time Crystal rapidly strengthening, much faster than when he first acquired Time Crystal.

Is it because of his recent actions?

When Shen Shi decided to try changing humanity’s fate, he always had a question: if he really changes humanity’s fate, will future humans also change three years later?

What he’s doing now could already earn him a place in human history.

If the future he visits indeed is his world’s future, then after making such grand actions, it stands to reason that changes would occur, and the disturbances from Time Crystal during this period seem to indicate something.

After contemplating for a while, Shen Shi gave up guessing.

The relationship between time and the future is too profound for him at this moment.

Not just him.

Even future humans don’t have much deep understanding of time, mostly just guesses. It seems to be an extremely profound and mysterious field, further highlighting Time Crystal’s extraordinary nature.

However, there are ways to perform some validations.

"Let’s go."

Shen Shi whispered in his heart, slightly closed his eyes, and his consciousness once again entered the black market.

He wondered if it was his illusion.

Today’s streets seemed a lot colder, with not many people around.

Occasionally seeing a few individuals, they were hurried, giving him a sense of urgency.

Even... quite a few shops were closed!

He had never encountered such a situation in previous visits here!

Did something happen?

Suddenly, Shen Shi had an extremely ominous feeling.

He thought it over and didn’t wander the streets, heading directly to Gong Chu’s shop.

Fortunately, this shop was open.

Upon entry, Gong Chu immediately opened his eyes.

Shen Shi knows these Primordial Energy Masters can easily multitask, always keeping a part of their consciousness in the shop, immediately responding when someone arrives.

Hence, the closed shops appeared even stranger.

"It’s me." Shen Shi said simply.

"Mr. Shen."

Gong Chu’s half-exposed face didn’t seem as lively as last time, exuding an obvious heaviness.

But facing a major client, he proactively asked:

"Did something go wrong with the construction of the Planet Fortress?"
