CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 198: 13 YEARS OF SAILING TIME

Aside from that, Tao De did not forget that no matter how much this place looked like a world, a planet, it was still a spaceship!

A B-level immigrant spaceship!

If it is a spaceship, then it has a captain!

By now, they are exceedingly aware of the significance of the captain within the entire ship; the stronger the ship, the more terrifying the captain’s status and power.

Even a ship that seems like such a world exists, so the captain of this ship must be the King of the World here!

Therefore, no one would openly refute Shen Shi’s choice of decisions.

Because of this, after Tao De and the others returned, just as Shen Shi had said, this B-level immigrant spaceship caused a massive uproar in certain circles, but very soon fell silent. The number of people aware of the ship was suppressed to the lowest level, only those directly involved in the project knew about it, and it was kept as the highest secret on the internet.

It is no longer the early information era. In this post-information era managed by highly unified artificial intelligence AI, confidential information that civilization’s leadership decides to hide will not experience large-scale leaks.

And Shen Shi has also emphasized more than once in the highest meeting.

Retreat is only to allow them to develop more boldly and diligently, to become stronger.

Hence, personnel participating in this project began to be selected from the entire civilization, excluding the initial batch of one hundred thousand awakened people serving as Primordial Energy Masters, the entire project needed about two million people.

The number of humans is still too small.

Otherwise, at least billions would be needed to plan more comfortably.

But two million is already the minimum. Below this number, the task will become extremely difficult.

Time flies in this process.

Three years quickly passed by.

This will be the farthest interstellar voyage undertaken by humans after stepping into the Interstellar Era, and it is the first time humans are reaching out to other civilizations with non-combat purposes. It can be said to have special significance for the entire Human Civilization, but the departure of Shen Shi and others was destined to be silent, as the entire project was still shrouded in secrecy.

However, before leaving, Shen Shi left behind a consciousness avatar here.

Mainly to reassure Human Civilization.

To prevent, for the foresighted Shen Shi understood clearly that his departure would cause no issues for Blue Star.

At this moment, two million people have already gathered on the "Grotto Heaven."

Yes, this B3 Level immigrant spaceship has a brand new name.

This name was naturally decided by Shen Shi, and its connotation is very clear. "Grotto Heaven" can be considered a fantasy of a beautiful place in Eastern Country’s mythology and legend. Choosing this name also serves the purpose of viewing this strong immigrant spaceship as Human Civilization’s retreat.

When Shen Shi explained this, it reassured many insiders.

"The entire voyage process will take about thirteen years," Shen Shi’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

Purely relying on the power of Primordial Energy.

He only then realized that this ship has a powerful Primordial Energy Device, not only for external use but also for internal use. Shen Shi called it the "Sea of Consciousness" because its manifestation is indeed an ocean within the Consciousness World; any life stepping into its range will have their consciousness attracted and subsequently lose some privileges, or rather, directly controlled by the Sea of Consciousness.

In other words, at this moment, Shen Shi can easily manipulate everything of these two million people.

Including but not limited to altering their memories and controlling their thoughts.

This made Shen Shi somewhat emotional; he heard from the Collector that this spaceship was originally customized by an unknown client, but the client did not come after paying the balance, so it was taken out to sell by Gus Land, and thus was bought by him.

Now it seems that this spaceship was absolutely designed to become the "Divine Spirit" of a civilization, a world.

If Shen Shi could be ruthless enough to take all humanity away, he could also recreate myth and become a figure like the God King Celestial Emperor.

However, already having made a decision, Shen Shi naturally would not let such thoughts interfere with himself.

"Thirteen years; whether long or short, I won’t impose strict limitations on everyone. Whether you wish to learn and live, sleep through it, or train in Primordial Energy, go ahead." Shen Shi continued speaking to everyone.

Some people didn’t really know the exact voyage time and immediately discussed it.

"If you sleep through it, that would be too wasteful."

"Just thirteen years."

"Just exploring this world, thirteen years are far from enough."

"Everyone, let’s continue training Primordial Energy."

"Yes, strive for more Strong Persons."

"..."

Among these two million people, scientists, diplomats, and warriors account for the majority, of course, there are quite a few other personnel too.

Even Curtis and Trish, the sibling duo, are also among them.

Though Human Civilization is now centered around the Human Federation, to maintain internal competition, national systems are still retained, and these two siblings from the Nick Empire, prince and princess, have now both joined the Federation’s foreign affairs department, and through a period of learning, their capabilities are not to be underestimated.
