CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER 196: THE 1ST INTERSTELLAR TARGET

Although human civilization has changed rapidly over the past decade, especially in some high-end fields, they still see a gap when comparing themselves to these aliens.

A particularly destitute alien from an E-level civilization, piloting a small spaceship, is capable of performing minor repairs and even modifications on the ship.

Just this point alone is something few people in the current human civilization can achieve.

And these people, when placed in today’s human civilization, are true talents.

They can all be employed in the field of high-tech industrial production.

Allowing the mass production devices brought by Shen Shi to function.

This further reinforces Shen Shi’s insistence on launching the "Recruitment Plan."

To enable human civilization to develop rapidly, for human civilization three thousand years later to step into the B-level category, and even once again to open up a new world, we must quickly establish the Star System Fortress, and this requires bringing in a large amount of technical labor from other civilizations.

However, this is not something that can be rushed.

The first step is to select a target.

"Within the domain of the Daike Civilization, there are a total of eight D-level civilizations and twenty-three E-level civilizations. For the lower-level G-level Earth-Level Native Civilizations, there are more than three hundred." Shen Shi now shared this information he possessed in a special planning meeting with the others.

Tao De was among them.

His current position is far higher than before, but it’s not arranged by others; rather, Shen Shi himself requested it, which can be considered a form of support for him.

After all, his abilities are indeed impressive, and after being together for a long time, as a liaison officer, he becomes more familiar overall.

"Is this number, compared to other C-level civilizations, considered many or few?" someone asked.

"Of course, it’s considered few," said Shen Shi. "The Daike Civilization has just recently been promoted to a C-level civilization a millennium ago, and civilization development accelerates the further it goes. They have yet to enter the rapid development phase of the C-level category, so realistically speaking, they are only at the level of C3 to C4. Of course, this is just a very vague classification, as the strength of civilizations is actually hard to categorize in detail. We ourselves are the best example."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This is actually quite understandable.

Human civilization is an extreme case among them. On one hand, they even possess B-level spacecraft, yet on the other hand, do not even have a Star System Fortress. The population numbers and Primordial Energy Mastery are diminutively weak.

But since they can have an existence like Shen Shi, other civilizations also might be able to obtain powerful apparatuses from higher-level civilizations.

"Unexpectedly, within just these several hundred nodes, with a diameter of less than two thousand light-years, there are so many civilizations," Tao De couldn’t help but sigh.

The humans of the past could hardly determine whether there were other intelligent beings in the cosmos.

They made countless speculations and fantasies about the existence of "aliens."

One can only say that with weak strength, all they could do was sit and watch the sky.

"Then which civilization should we target first?" someone spoke up and asked.

This was a general, named Tian Jun, who was about seventy years old, considered very experienced, although at this moment, he looked at most only in his forties.

He was also part of this plan.

Shen Shi was not very familiar with him, but this was an arrangement by other council members. After reviewing his resume, Shen Shi agreed, because for a long time, Tian Jun was responsible for recruiting and training new soldiers—experience that could be entirely applicable to the management of aliens.

Moreover, behind him, there was a complete team.

Shen Shi held this plan in high regard. As long as one has the ability and makes contributions, he does not mind whether there are connections or other underlying reasons.

Human civilization now is still quite pure in its development.

Once the new generation grows up, they can truly embark on the journey and truly become a civilization with the core purpose of development and becoming stronger.

"I already have a plan." As Shen Shi raised his hand, an expansive star map suddenly appeared before everyone. As the scene rapidly changed, a large yellow star appeared in front of the humans.

Located within approximately seventeen nodes of distance from human civilization.

They could see one building after another of primarily white architecture within this star system, similar to their own Sun.

Clearly, this is a highly developed civilization related to the Solar System.

Everyone turned to Shen Shi, waiting for his explanation and introduction.

"This civilization calls themselves ’Yu,’ which is a phonetic translation, so we’ll refer to them as the Cosmic People. The Cosmic People civilization strength is approximately at the pinnacle of E-level, about to become D-level. More importantly, they have not yet been discovered by the Mude System."

As soon as Shen Shi said this, everyone was taken aback.

Not yet discovered?

A civilization that is almost becoming a D-level civilization has not been discovered?

"This is very normal," Shen Shi said with a faint smile. "Although it seems that the majority of civilizations continuously delve into the cosmos, in actuality, this is only the minority. Because there are endless dangers in the universe, and the internal resources of most star systems are sufficient for development. Therefore, many civilizations still choose to cautiously face the cosmos."
