Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 62: What Technology Do You Want

The words spoken elicited different reactions from everyone present.

Wen Hezhi seemed contemplative, Tao De and Liang Xin had somewhat serious expressions, while Song Yao nodded earnestly.

To be honest, everything about the interstellar is indeed too mysterious for humanity.

From the vast number of related fantasies, one can glean some insights.

However, when it truly appeared, what it brought was far beyond what was depicted in imagination.

It covered everything, encompassed all.

Even a humanoid seemed to represent a concept existing within the interstellar.

Thus, what Tao De and Liang Xin were pondering was not the "humanoid," but the point Shen Shi made about the necessity of adapting to the interstellar.

There is no doubt that, regarding the interstellar, Shen Shi at this moment is the authority on Blue Star!

If there were an "interstellar studies," Shen Shi would undoubtedly be the supreme in this field!

Even his casual conversations and chats abound with abundant information related to the interstellar.

Like a boundless treasure, no one knows how much unknown and how many secrets it holds.

Finally, Song Yao nodded earnestly once again and said, "I will remember Mr. Shen’s words."

"Just call me President Shen," Shen Shi corrected her address.

This signified that he had officially employed Song Yao as an aide to the company.

Tao De seemed satisfied, then looked towards Wen Hezhi.

Without any hesitation, Wen Hezhi promptly said, "President Shen, I’ll join as well."

He was well aware that missing this opportunity meant missing the entire future.

"Good," Shen Shi replied simply.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wen," Liang Xin said with a smile, congratulating Wen Hezhi, "It seems that Mr. Shen is quite satisfied with us, the elite of humanity."

He was aware that Shen Shi still commanded a group of aliens.

"I am also human," Shen Shi shook his head, "Overall, we lag behind, but the elites selected from seven billion people aren’t lacking in potential either. Tao De, have you decided on the island I wanted?"

Shen Shi directly shifted past the topic of selection and looked at Tao De.

Clearly, the initial contact was over, and next would be the official collaboration.

In this regard, the Eastern Country was undoubtedly ahead of foreign countries by a large margin.

"We’ve already discussed it. We’ve listed a few options, all of which can be leased to you for fifty years at the price of one yuan," Tao De, having anticipated that today would not just be about introducing employees to Shen Shi, took out a tablet from his bag and opened it, showing images of several islands.

All satisfied Shen Shi’s requirements and were relatively close to Hai City.

As for the seemingly exaggerated condition of one yuan for fifty years, there was nothing peculiar about it.

Just keeping Shen Shi here would be worthwhile, even if given for free.

Shen Shi glanced over and casually pointed at one.

"This one then," he said.

Tao De glanced at it; it was a small island named Jiqing Island, not particularly large or geographically significant among his list of options.

It seemed to be chosen at random, hence he didn’t mind much.

"Would you like to change the name?" he asked, "Islands like these were mostly nameless in the past, and the current names are often randomly chosen. Changing the name, or adding a subtitle, isn’t an issue."

"Then call it Star Sea Island," Shen Shi said offhandedly.

The reason he wanted an island was merely to establish a ground-based center convenient for material transportation with the rest of the world.

As for the company’s headquarters, even placing it in outer space wouldn’t be a problem.

"And the company registration, also leave it to you," Shen Shi continued.

"Do you mean...register in the Eastern Country?" Tao De’s eyes lit up.

"I’m from the Eastern Country, is there any problem with registering in the Eastern Country?" Shen Shi gave him a glance.

"No, of course not!" Tao De reacted with delight.

Now, anyone could see that this company would inevitably be one that alters the fate of the entire human civilization!

It would be of significant importance!

Tao De had initially been worried that Shen Shi might not intend to follow procedures, or might plan to register abroad.

However, it seemed he had no such plans.

This was yet another piece of good news!

"You probably have other matters too," Shen Shi once again looked at Tao De, "If you have any issues, just bring them up directly. I also need to quickly decide on the next steps."

He already recognized that Tao De and Liang Xin’s visit this time was not merely to deliver personnel and islands but likely had other requests.

This was normal too.

Now that collaboration had begun and with such enormous benefits involved, how could there be no representation?

Shen Shi didn’t mind these matters. He originally intended to promote the development of human civilization. Instead of concealing, it would be better to lay everything out clearly and directly state what was needed.

"To be honest with Mr. Shen," Tao De and Liang Xin exchanged a glance, then looked at Shen Shi with anticipation, "although we know our technical prowess is terribly inferior compared to those alien civilizations, not to mention the enterprise-type interstellar society you belong to, the more backward one is, the more he must develop! If we can’t withstand the battle three years hence, naturally all is lost, but if we can, we can’t continue to lag forever."

The meaning embedded in these words was already very clear.

They were asking for technology and support.

Wen Hezhi and Song Yao both remained silent, sitting quietly, but the look in their eyes towards Shen Shi also held a degree of expectation.

Initially, they had thought Shen Shi might have returned from a "Magic World."

But since he came from the vast universe, what was the most enticing?

Naturally, it was technology!

Humanity’s genuine rapid technological development occurred over just two hundred years, yet it had already resulted in earth-shattering changes, with the impacts penetrating into every individual, making it a benefit truly available to everyone.

Even if not for oneself, one should think of their family.

Especially Wen Hezhi, who was already married and had two lovely children.

Of course, he hoped for his children to live in an increasingly better, more advanced world.

But faced with this request, Shen Shi remained silent.

This silence spread among the people present, causing them also to fall into some silence.

Until Tao De couldn’t help but ask, "Do you think, sir, that preparing for the war in three years is what matters most right now?"

Indeed, if one had to say, if humanity were to be defeated, no matter how advanced the knowledge, it would be meaningless.

Yet, Shen Shi slowly shook his head.

"I am just pondering a direction for development," he said, pausing, "Forget it, these are still too remote for you, let’s first talk about what technology you want?"
