Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 92 - 86: This is Planet Fortress_2

There are also some people who haven’t really focused on whether they can get a ticket for the ship.

Such as Tao De.

He just raises his head, looking at Shen Shi.

Many doubts in his heart have finally been answered.

For example, why Shen Shi would have such a detached demeanor. freёweɓnovel.com

Thinking about it, how could a captain, the absolute ruler of a spaceship, easily be influenced by others?

If that were the case, he might not be able to sit in the captain’s position at all.

—Those alien crew members wouldn’t revere Shen Shi like this.

He can’t help but feel grateful that Liang Xin’s reminder was correct.

His gaze inadvertently glances at Curtis, who still looks pale, seemingly deeply affected.

A beauty trap?

Indeed, it’s backfired...

Many people at this moment have thoughts similar to Tao De’s, having a renewed understanding of the interstellar realm and Shen Shi, like Villard, who also feels relieved that he wasn’t so reckless, and understands that when he brings back the content of this "lesson," he doesn’t know how many people will be utterly disappointed, yet will have to adjust their direction.

Because, for most of them, the retreat they once hoped for has become unattainable.

Shen Shi sees all these people’s reactions clearly.

With the aid of the Primordial Energy Battery, he can more easily discern their true emotions, almost like mind reading, hence understanding that this little "warning" should have an effect.

Of course, he doesn’t expect this to suppress everyone’s little schemes, but as long as it has some effect, it will do.

In the upcoming Interstellar War, Shen Shi really doesn’t have the mood to deal with all their tactics.

"Thus, the second understanding I mentioned just now will be easy to comprehend." Shen Shi continues, "For individuals, as long as their will, technology, and devices are strong enough, they can survive long even in the interstellar realms. But for civilizations, the fragile will of newborns can only have the most suitable growth environment on life planets. Blue Star’s nature is a world safe enough for most life to grow securely, also the best cradle for humanity. Once leaving it, most people find it difficult to survive in the cruel interstellar realm, so—this war has no retreat route for the entire civilization."

This seems to be a summarizing statement.

After finishing this sentence, Shen Shi stops, seemingly giving them enough time to digest.

To be honest.

For some who once boarded Shen Shi’s spaceship, the shock brought by this lesson is entirely no less than the last time.

Last time, they only felt the power and terror of alien civilizations, feeling humanity’s insignificance.

And this time, they feel the fear of the cosmos and once again feel humanity’s insignificance.

Most humans, like infants living in the cradle of Blue Star, once thrown into this dark and silent cosmos, their outcome is foreseeable.

"Do we really have hope to win?" A hoarse voice with sobs arises.

It’s Trish.

The princess who once shone brightly on Blue Star, has been sobbing and trembling ever since she came here, and this is the first time she’s spoken, filled with deep fear.

Going through Shen Shi’s lesson, let alone any beauty trap, she almost feels she’s developing cosmic claustrophobia, full of dread for the place she’s in.

She wants to return to Blue Star and never come here again.

However, the premise for this wish is that humanity wins the war.

"Then, this lesson ends here." Shen Shi doesn’t answer her because there’s no need to answer. He just raises his voice slightly, "Next, I will briefly introduce the entire defense project and arrange your tasks. This will be a battle about the fate of human civilization. I hope you abandon meaningless fantasies and aspirations and complete it at all costs!"

Perhaps the upward tone played a role, and many people slightly tremble, shaking off their fear of the cosmos.

Some even subconsciously clench their fists.

They certainly understand why Shen Shi doesn’t answer Trish’s question.

Because this question, Shen Shi already gave an answer last time.

—There’s hope!

Now it seems, the man who brings hope has already had a plan to resist the invaders.

Fear not the project’s difficulty, but fear the inability to implement plans!

"Mr. Shen, please arrange it." Tao De speaks up at this moment, expressing his stance, "We’ve long understood that in this dangerous cosmos, every human’s fate is tied to the fate of the entire civilization. From the beginning, we had no retreat, and naturally won’t retreat in the face of hope!"

As a representative of one of the largest forces of human civilization, Tao De’s words clearly hold significant weight.

Villard is a bit annoyed, once again beaten to the punch, but also speaks out: "Mr. Tao is right. Humanity, this term now has new meaning in this era. We’re no longer in wars with each other for interests, but fighting for the right of freedom and survival, for the common fate of all humanity! I’m very sure, this will be the greatest war in human history!"

Although Curtis is in an extremely low mood, he still remembers representing the Nia Empire, one of humanity’s three major powers.

He also concisely and powerfully says: "For all humanity, the Nia Empire will also spare no cost!"

Indeed, including himself, it seems, is already tied to the fate of all humanity.

With the speeches from these three individuals, others also one by one, representing their forces, voice their positions.

It seems, truly a bit united in spirit, with fervent fighting will.

But Shen Shi’s expression doesn’t change much; he just nods slightly, saying: "It seems, we have already reached a consensus, then next, I will introduce the project we need to complete within three years—Planet Fortress!"

This is his first time stating the project’s formal name.

Accompanied by opened hands, like magic, a scaled-down Blue Star appears before everyone.

Identical to the Blue Star beneath their feet!

Everyone’s gaze is drawn to it.

Planet Fortress!

Just by hearing this name, one can vaguely imagine what kind of plan this is.

Also what kind of grand project it is.

"Due to the importance of life planets, interstellar wars often involve planetary offensive and defensive battles. In such circumstances, transforming an entire planet, or even the entire star system, into an indestructible war weapon is the most commonly used defense strategy! This is the significance of Planet Fortress!" Shen Shi’s voice also becomes strong.

After cutting off some people’s delusions of retreat through a lesson, naturally, one has to give them more confidence.

At this moment, many people’s eyes indeed shine slightly.

Even Trish, stops sobbing, dumbfoundedly looking at this scaled-down planet formed by consciousness information before her.

Indestructible war weapon!

"In planetary offensive and defensive battles, often there are two very different phases." In these days, Shen Shi has quickly supplemented some basic knowledge, "One is the space battle phase, in which often the defending Planet Fortress has the advantage because the enemy usually can only attack mainly with fleets, and under this warfare mode, their investment in fleet maneuverability plays a very limited role, and they have limitations in the equipment they can carry, so the defending side can often achieve greater effects with lesser investment and cost."

This, of course, refers to situations where there is no absolute gap in technical level.

For example, the extinction of the Worren Civilization back then.

No conventional planetary offensive and defensive warfare occurred, the Daike Civilization used some powerful Primordial Energy Weapon, roughly invading all the Worren entities’ consciousness in the entire Worren Civilization—that time, the Worren’s research on Primordial Energy was just beginning, having no resistance ability at all.
