Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 125 - 103: Fighting for Common Interests

Although the representative’s voice and choice of words were very clear, there was still a brief silence after he finished speaking.

Then came an uproar like a tsunami!

Many people couldn’t control themselves and stood up from their seats, staring at the podium with faces full of shock. They didn’t intend to do anything, but without such a reaction, they simply couldn’t express their violent turmoil of emotions!

What did they hear?

Humans have already started building this planet into a military fortress?

No, that’s not the main point.

The main point is the impending interstellar war!

At this moment, even the internet, which should have been extremely noisy, fell silent because people were stupefied, no longer paying attention to the web.

Too sudden!

This is an interstellar war! Who is the enemy? Why would the enemy attack them?

"Everyone, please calm down." The speaking representative seemed to have anticipated this scenario; in fact, his reaction was similar when he first learned of this information.

No one can remain calm in the face of this news because it not only represents a change in people’s lives but also signifies the destruction of it all!

War has always been a terrifying word.

Interstellar war is even countless times more terrifying!

Until the people finally came back to their senses from the news, they still did not sit down, just stood and looked at the podium, some even trembling all over.

For example, Laurie was like this.

At this moment, he couldn’t even care about his doubts anymore, in front of the words "interstellar war," as if all those things he once cared about became worthless!

"I can understand everyone’s feelings, but this is already a proven reality!" The representative spoke with a heavy and solemn tone, using his well-prepared speech, "Mr. Shen’s return has unveiled part of the mystery of the vast starry sky above us. From now on, we know that humanity is not the only intelligent species in this cosmos and is extremely weak! Behind the various powerful technologies you’ve seen during this time is the magnificent, prosperous, strong, yet ruthless interstellar civilization society!"

"..."

Everyone listened in silence.

Some found it hard to accept.

However, all of this did not actually happen suddenly.

Since the emergence of those mysterious and powerful alien technologies, people should have realized that far more powerful civilizations exist in the mysterious and vast starry sky above.

Their science and technology, their power, are ahead of humanity by countless years.

Yet wasn’t that mysterious man claiming to be returning from the aliens, here to help them?

Already, some could not help but shout:

"Is Star Sea Company our ally?"

"Can’t we coexist peacefully?"

"Is this information reliable? How have you verified it?"

"Can you let Star Sea Company try to negotiate?"

"..."

Indeed, faced with the word "interstellar war," people have completely forgotten their resistance towards Star Sea Company, instead starting to see Star Sea Company as a life-saving straw.

This is indeed the only sense of security in facing reality.

If not for the appearance of Star Sea Company, with its continuous provision of technology, products, treatment for patients, and various collaborations, people might have already been engulfed by the despair and fear brought by the news of the "interstellar war."

So, this is indeed the best timing for the announcement.

"I know everyone has many questions," the representative raised his hand again, suppressing the crowd’s voice, "Since we’ve decided to announce this information, we will answer everyone’s questions one by one. Firstly, interstellar society consists of far more than just one civilization. According to the news brought by Mr. Shen, the Milky Way Galaxy alone has no less than hundreds of civilizations that have already entered interstellar space!"

Hundreds of civilizations that have already stepped into interstellar space?

Some people opened their mouths wide but couldn’t say a word.

Just now, when being told they were extremely weak, they didn’t have an intuitive reaction, but now, in front of this number, they clearly realized it.

Humanity is only at the beginning of its interstellar journey!

This means they are among the weakest tier in these hundreds of civilizations!

Suddenly, their entire worldview is no longer limited to this planet; "world" will henceforth represent the whole vast cosmos!

Also representing those numerous interstellar civilizations!

Fear came flooding in like a tide, as if the beautiful world suddenly collapsed, even those fanatical alien enthusiasts trembled upon facing this reality, embodying the saying "the leaf lord loves the dragon" to its fullest.

"I know everyone is very afraid, and we are the same." The representative’s voice changed, becoming steadier and stronger, "In this vast cosmos, our Blue Star is like a small boat in a storm, and each of us is like an ant on this boat; we have made this small boat our entire world, yet unaware that this world could be submerged by a tiny storm at any moment, but— we are also lucky, because before the storm arrives, we have welcomed an anchor, a support point, that is the returning Mr. Shen and Star Sea Company!"
