Chapter 210: Chapter 145: Understanding the Daike People_2

After a careful examination of history, Shen Shi finally found the reason.

They were confiscated.

All devices with a technological level of D6 or higher were confiscated by the Daike Civilization at the time of final surrender.

This once again made Shen Shi realize that without solving the threat of the Daike Civilization, he might find it very difficult to bring any significant changes to the future.

"Daike..."

Shen Shi began to focus his attention on the Daike People.

As the greatest threat to Human Civilization in the Future World, Human Civilization indeed has extensive research on Daike Civilization.

Shen Shi also saw images of the Daike People.

Unlike the short and frail Worren, who have almost no primitive strength and are even beginning to show bodily degradation, the Daike People, as similarly carbon-based organisms, can be described as physically powerful.

Their average height is about three meters, sturdy torso, and like most carbon-based intelligent organisms, they are mammals with a four-limb upright structure. However, Daike People also have long tails, akin to those of lizards, which help them maintain balance.

During their Earth Star Period, the Daike People relied on their strong bodies for hunting over a long period, instead of using tools.

Therefore, this strength derived from their physique also became a part of their culture.

This is also why the Daike People are committed to developing biotechnology and even designed the Life Evolution Device.

Compared to the Daike Civilization three thousand years later, the Daike Civilization three thousand years ago was more savage and fierce.

Even after entering the C-level civilization, they retained the traditional adulthood examination method — removing all equipment and relying solely on their bodies to hunt prey in the jungle. Only those who passed this examination were eligible to modify their bodies.

Of course, this method has been abolished three thousand years later.

Three thousand years later, the Daike People have faced stagnation in their civilization development due to the stagnation of some key technologies, leading to continuous internal issues.

Because they are getting close to the pinnacle of C-level civilization, yet there is a seemingly hopeless gap to the B-level civilization, a level that cannot be reached merely with time.

"Every C-level civilization must have its unique aspects, and the Daike People also once created a brilliant civilization and fortunately did not suffer too much destruction. They’ve been approaching the C-level since joining the Mude System... truly fortunate."

Even within the entire Mude System, civilizations like Daike are not many.

Most civilizations, like Human Civilization, were destroyed when they were weak, followed by long-term cultivation, struggling bit by bit until becoming C-level civilizations, and then spending a long time reshaping their culture.

A culture tightly linked to the Mude System, indistinguishable.

After thoroughly reviewing the entire history of the Daike Civilization and gaining more understanding, Shen Shi couldn’t help but sigh further. In comparison, the luck of humanity is really terrible.

The Daike Civilization entered the C-level over a thousand years ago, and they also experienced a period of stagnation when they first entered.

However, after suffering setbacks on the battlefield of C-level civilizations, their entire civilization gradually awakened under this pressure.

Vigorously cultivating other civilizations within their jurisdiction, constantly nurturing the warlike spirit of their race, began to accelerate development aggressively and fiercely...

From 2000 years from now, it is a period of rapid development for the Daike Civilization, the most glorious period.

"If the Daike People discovered my existence at this time and the changes in humanity, deploying troops would be almost inevitable," Shen Shi contemplated, "But according to the current technology of the Daike People, it would take at least 150 years to deploy forces from their Mother Star... not enough, far from enough."

One hundred and fifty years would only be enough for Human Civilization to develop to a D-level degree.

Still far from being a match for the Daike Civilization.

It’s likely that by that time, Human Civilization will still have no choice but to surrender.

Shen Shi thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a solution. He decided to wait and see what kind of spacecraft the Collector could provide him.

After all, surrender is impossible. If they were to surrender, perhaps due to the Mude System’s rules, humanity could join the Mude System as a D-level civilization, but Shen Shi himself would certainly have to flee because he has already revealed too many secrets to develop Human Civilization.

Like this, another two months of navigation passed.

Since setting out again, more than half a year has passed.

This is the norm for interstellar expeditions, and it is even considered short. The Worren Fleet took nearly two hundred years of navigation to reach Blue Star, and there was no such thing as continuous training during the journey; everyone had to stay in the hibernation pods for a long time, or else they couldn’t psychologically bear the long navigation time.

And by now, the updated reconnaissance system of Shen Shi finally fully detected the entire Worren Fleet.

He gathered all the senior commanders to hold another meeting.

"We need to begin setting traps." This was the first sentence Shen Shi said at the meeting.

At this moment, in the Consciousness Space, everyone was gathered before a three-dimensional star map, reduced countless times, clearly showing their fleet and the enemy’s tens of thousands of warships!

"Part of the enemy’s scout fleet is already approaching us," Zhuang Wenbin stared at the star map and said.

The scout fleet is different from reconnaissance units.

The former is closer to the main fleet in distance and sustained.

In other words, starting from this scout fleet, new scouts will appear at short intervals, constantly linking to the main fleet, and the frequency of scouts connecting to the main fleet will be more frequent, even to a point where contact is continuous without interruption.

This means it’s difficult to use previous tactics against reconnaissance units to take over communications without being detected.

"If you have any thoughts, feel free to share them," Shen Shi looked at Zhuang Wenbin and then at the other senior commanders, conveying consciousness, "You all are the same."

"We have absolute advantage in reconnaissance," Zhuang Wenbin was evidently prepared, "So I believe we can bypass the scout fleet, reduce speed, and set traps on the main ship’s necessary path. As for the scouts near the main ship, we can let them through first, then activate Curvature Oscillation, forcing the main fleet out of the trap."

This is also one characteristic of interstellar warfare.

Space is ultimately a three-dimensional map.

So there’s no guarantee of collision when moving opposite each other.

Bypassing the scout fleet is indeed a good choice.

And the others did not let Zhuang Wenbin perform alone; some even proposed different opinions.

"Old Zhuang, it’s not easy to set traps under the close proximity of scouts."

"The enemy still hasn’t noticed we’ve captured their reconnaissance units and are continuously sending safe signals, so their vigilance won’t be high, their formation is the best proof. Therefore, I think our counter-reconnaissance system makes the chance of being discovered very low."

"No matter how low, there’s still a possibility of being discovered, and once found, consequences are unimaginable."

"Old Zhou is right; I think we shouldn’t set traps on the enemy’s forward path but should find ways to lure their main ships to other paths."

"That’s more risky."

"But we can make the trap more perfect."

"Why not use multiple traps for coercion? Imagine, if you were a commander of an E-level fleet and suddenly realized you were blocked by a Curvature Oscillator, a device only C-level civilizations have, what would you think?"

"Escaping would be the first choice, but the routes for escape in interstellar conditions are too many."

"That’s right, but we can use these scout fleets to mislead them, giving them a seemingly safe route."

"I think the risk is very high."

"..."

Listening to these people’s discussions, Shen Shi could not help but smile inwardly.
