Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 122 - 101: Revealing the Conspiracy of the Star Sea_2

Chapter 122: Chapter 101: Revealing the Conspiracy of the Star Sea_2

Shen Shi listened attentively to Ai Xin’Er as she chattered about family matters, without the slightest hint of impatience, even occasionally chiming in.

Despite his current studies being focused on interstellar warfare, his interactions with significant Human Federation officials, and his involvement in projects like "comprehensive wartime preparation," the warmth and significance of family discussions became more apparent.

This is also his motivation to continue striving to save the world.

Presumably, it’s the same for those soldiers.

To protect the home and nation is to safeguard everything they cherish.

However, toward the end, Shen Shi suddenly thought of something and asked: "Xin’Er, would you like to try Primordial Energy training?"

"Primordial Energy?" Ai Xin’Er knew what it was; she had heard Shen Shi mention it in previous conversations.

"Your self-control and willpower are quite good, and your talent shouldn’t be lacking. Training in Primordial Energy can not only protect you but also strengthen your spirit, offering numerous benefits. It can even provide greater clarity of self-awareness, which would be greatly helpful for your musical dreams." This wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment idea for Shen Shi—it had been on his mind for some time.

In the Future World, almost everyone undergoes related training.

After all, while there are many ways to protect the body, the fragility of the spirit can only rely on oneself.

Shen Shi did not intend for Ai Xin’Er to become a Master of Primordial Energy, but only for her to have stronger willpower, enough to protect her own spirit.

And Ai Xin’Er did not hesitate overly.

"Alright!" Her voice lacked the air of decisive resolution—it sounded more like a sigh of relief as she softly added, "I’ll work hard with you, just like before."

True love can make both individuals grow together, making each other better.

Especially in the face of immense pressure.

If they can encourage and support each other, even without the time for romantic escapades or lovey-dovey moments, their relationship will still grow deeper and richer.

Ultimately, their conversations never lasted long; Ai Xin’Er always ended them proactively, knowing that Shen Shi didn’t have much time to rest at the moment.

This was Ai Xin’Er’s understanding and tacit support for Shen Shi.

After hanging up, Shen Shi suddenly had a thought.

Would Ai Xin’Er leave her mark in history?

If humanity could defeat the Worren, surely she would; it’s just uncertain whether it would be as a piano master or as the wife of the Star Sea Company’s founder.

As Shen Shi pondered, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a gentle laugh, then continued with his studies.

From beginning to end, he truly paid no mind to the increasing wave of resistance in some regions.

After all, just as he had said to Ai Xin’Er, everything was under control.

The Star Sea Company’s silence, to some extent, also intensified the resistance voices, leading to incidents where individuals attempted to storm the Space Elevator in certain areas. Though these attempts were tightly guarded against success, it still increased the chaos.

Industry transformation in some regions came to a complete halt.

Some people were unable to start their entirely new careers.

But it was precisely at this moment that the resistance against the Star Sea Association ushered in what they perceived as a significant, phase victory—

The Human Federation was about to convene a public hearing regarding this industry’s transformation and agreed to allow the association to send a representative to participate.

This victory even led to the resistance against the Star Sea Association gathering most of its major members for a celebratory gathering.

The whole banquet was extremely lavish.

They even booked an entire five-star hotel, inviting a large crowd of bikini-clad girls for a pool party at the hotel.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies."

The president of the resistance against the Star Sea Association, a drunk middle-aged white man in his thirties, stood at the highest point, raising his glass:

"Tomorrow, we will reveal the conspiracy of the evil Alien and the equally evil Human Federation in front of the whole world. We will become heroes of all humanity! We have safeguarded humanity’s freedom and wealth! Cheers to the heroes!"

"Cheers to the heroes!" A fat man below, embracing a bikini-clad girl, shouted indignantly, "Those damned rich people want to use chips and drugs to rule us forever—they want to live high above in the sky, like Gods, ruling us forever. Will we agree? No! We won’t allow it!"

"The God will punish them because they have stolen the rights of the God. I’ve already seen it; divine punishment is coming tomorrow!" proclaimed a witch adorned with various bizarre trinkets, rolling her eyes and appearing quite frightening.

These three were the president and two vice-presidents of the resistance against the Star Sea Association; their words resonated with many.

For a moment, all sorts of voices emerged.

Representatives of justice, conspiracy theorists, divine punishment advocates—the representatives of various interests—and those ordinary people who have been influenced by these voices, occupied the largest numbers.

But in the corner, a rather disheveled middle-aged black man with a full beard was shouting helplessly: "President Laurie, you shouldn’t drink anymore; we need to properly discuss the content for tomorrow’s hearing."

"Hey, Quint the lawyer, don’t worry; there’s still time." Laurie wrapped an arm around the black man’s shoulder, "After tomorrow, we’ll succeed—I promise—I’ll make sure your law firm reopens!"

"Certainly, I have never doubted it." Quint said as he squinted his eyes, smiled, "But we still need to confirm the content for tomorrow; firstly..."

....

"Firstly, how can you ensure that the transformation plan you propose is truly fair and just without infringing upon our private wealth?" Laurie, in a suit and standing in a spacious and bright conference hall, faced the representatives of the Human Federation, as well as the densely packed representatives and media cameras in the back, his voice loud and seemingly full of momentum.

This was the hearing scene.

Long before the hearing was announced, extensive promotion had taken place; at this moment, the ratings for this hearing had completely broken viewership records for conference-type videos.

After all, it affects the real interests of countless people, with unknown numbers globally paying attention.

As for the Star Sea Company’s representative, it wasn’t Wen Hezhi, but Song Yao who attended.

By this time, the Star Sea Company was no longer the fledgling team it initially was; over the past month, it had absorbed thousands of employees—all elite individuals from around the world—forming an efficient operation scheme.

Under such circumstances, Song Yao, the chairman’s secretary, indeed had the qualification to represent the Star Sea Company at the hearing.

Facing Laurie’s challenge, it was a representative from the Human Federation who stood up to reply.

"We have merely customized a transformation framework in line with economic models. However, when it comes to individual and specific enterprise transformation, it is not up to us to create—instead, it is comprehensively handled by the central AI, the Star Spirit. The entire process is completely impartial and traceable." The representative’s voice was equally loud and firm.

"But isn’t the Star Spirit still controlled by you, taking orders from you?" Laurie asked next.

"As the central AI of the Human Federation, the control rights of the Star Spirit belong to all one hundred and ninety-eight countries worldwide. Each country can send representatives to apply for a review of the core permissions and instructions received by the Star Spirit. Moreover, the transformation-related plans, reasons, and even the transformation framework jointly created by global economists have been completely disclosed when the hearing began. Any individual or enterprise can inquire about the Star Spirit via the economic transformation app." The representative seemed not to need any thinking time.
