Facing Shen Shi's gaze, the collector just smiled slightly and said: "Thanks to the clan leader for your concern, but I am indeed certain - I have found a perfect partner, a down-and-out, incompetent Gus man. As long as we can catch him a little bit and bring him the benefits he dreams of, many things will be simple."
Just hearing what the collector said, Shen Shi understood.
Intelligent life does have something in common.
Chasing benefits and avoiding risks is one of them.
However, despite what collectors say is simple, in fact, it is not simple at all. If you do not have a full understanding of various situations, any factor that is not taken into consideration may lead to the failure of the entire plan. Failure may even have serious consequences.
Therefore, the collector is so confident that he can indeed see his ability.
Shen Shi felt relieved.
"So, a stable trading channel has been established?" he asked, feeling quite happy in his heart.
"It's just that it's relatively stable now, but I still can't trade as much as I want in a short period of time." The collector said, "I still need more time to establish more relationships and at the same time improve my status as much as possible. There are some risks. Under a certain status, it’s not really a risk at all.”
Shen Shi can understand.
Although the collector said it was easy, you can imagine that every step he took there was actually difficult.
But no matter what, the first step has been taken, and it will only get easier in the future.
Shen Shi looked at the others again and asked, "Have you received all the things you need?"
"Hui Patriarch, not yet." It was Vines who spoke first, "We have just arrived."
This man has been quite expressive since he joined the Shen clan, as if he hopes Shen Shi can remember him.
However, the rest of the people didn't seem to pay much attention to his positive behavior.
There may be reasons that you don't know about. If you have time, ask the public or collectors.
Shen Shi actually felt that he did not have much need to deepen his connections with people other than Gongchu and the collectors. After all, he did not really want to develop in the future world, but just wanted to obtain more advanced devices from the future world to develop modern times. Just the world.
But this kind of mentality is not easy to show too obviously.
Therefore, he still showed concern.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Shen Shi looked at the collector, "Let's see how powerful the equipment in the land of Gus is."
"It's indeed a bit beyond imagination." The collector laughed, "The entire universe seems to have endless mysteries. Whenever we feel that we understand it enough, we will find that there is always someone walking far away from us. In the past, some of the equipment I traded this time, based on our understanding of the universe, it is even difficult to find a reasonable explanation."
It may sound a bit exaggerated, but Shen Shi can completely understand it.
After all, when he first came to the black market and came into contact with some technologies in the future world, he felt that these things were indeed beyond his knowledge.
As for humans in the future world, standing in front of a B-class civilization, I'm afraid they won't fare much better.
It can only be said that what is truly magical and powerful is this universe that seems to be always full of unknowns.
The next moment, projections of pieces of equipment appeared in front of everyone.
Shen Shi's eyes were attracted in an instant.
He looked at the "device" in front of him, but he was a little confused.
Because what was in front of him was not the space battleship he imagined at all, but a smooth oval object with a blue light on the surface, and there seemed to be many lines rippling in it, but this The shape is pointed at the top and rounded at the bottom...
No matter how you look at it, it looks like an "egg".
"Please allow me to introduce it to you." The collector seemed to be able to feel Shen Shi's surprise. He stood up and saluted gracefully, "This is the biological battleship carefully selected for you. Its official name is Edgeworth Seat. Biologically modified battleship of the Ervest tribe.”
When Shen Shi listened to the series of complicated sounds that had no specific meaning but did not have an asterisk, he roughly understood that it was just a name.
And he could still understand the last few words.
Biomodified warship?
Biomodification is one of the macro-technical fields in the general direction and has high potential. Whether it is the Wo people, humans in the future world, or even the Dyke people, they have actually done in-depth research in this direction.
Even the old-style battleships that Gongchu brought to Shen Shi were also biological battleships.
However, Shen Shi had a premonition.
The "biological battleship" that the Collector calls is very different from the biological battleship that he used to think of.
And his premonition came true.
"This type of warship is actually an intelligent creature with considerable raw energy potential," he said.
At this time, not only Shen Shi, but also the other people watching were shocked.
"You mean, this battleship is actually an intelligent creature?"
"Artificial intelligent life has no original potential."
"What level of battleship is this battleship?"
"Is it a modified battleship?"
"..."
Shen Shi was also looking at the collector. In fact, he also had many conjectures and puzzles in his mind.
This battleship is related to whether he can truly change the fate of Blue Star's fall.
It's impossible not to take it seriously.
However, an intelligent creature with considerable original energy potential... indeed exceeded Shen Shi's original expectations.
It can’t possibly be something like a ship girl?
Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been aroused, the collector stopped buying into it.
"When I first learned about this kind of warship, I was really shocked, but then I realized that the Gus people's research on intelligent life and original energy did far exceed our knowledge.
——About 12,000 years ago, they discovered an ocean race on a living planet that was extremely huge but had already met the requirements of an intelligent life race. So, they conducted a long period of training for this race. , combined with unique biological transformation technology, step by step, this race has been transformed into a special and powerful 'battleship race'.
Because they have a complete cultural heritage, they do not consider themselves artificial life in their self-perception. Moreover, their cultural heritage is quite strong, and their original potential is not weak.
What's more important is that the equipment on this kind of battleship is just like our body replacement equipment. As long as there are enough funds, it can be continuously upgraded. "
Shen Shi had roughly understood what the other party meant.
He looked at the projected "egg shape" in front of him.
There are actually civilizations that use this method to overcome the limitation that artificial intelligent life does not have original energy potential.
I'm afraid that only a civilization like Gus, which has probably lasted for tens of thousands of years, has the qualifications to guide and transform another entire intelligent race.
"I probably understand what you mean." A person suddenly said, exuding doubts without politeness, "But what is the advantage of this kind of transformation compared to other warships? After all, only those who have consciousness link technology can With biological battleships, anyone can turn the entire battleship into his own external biological torso, and there seems to be no difference from this kind of modification."
When Chen Shi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded in his heart.
For example, this was the case with the batch of old battleships that Gongchu traded to Shen Shi.
He has experienced it too.
When his consciousness is connected with the organism of the entire battleship, the battleship seems to have become a derivative of the body, as if he has become the entire battleship itself.
Does that also mean that the battleship is also an intelligent life entity at this time?
"It seems that you don't really understand the preciousness of this kind of battleship." The collector shook his head, and then said softly, "If I say that such a battleship is actually no weaker than us in terms of raw power. "
Just this sentence caused the scene to fall into silence.
Shen Shi could feel their shock.
One can also guess the reason why they were so shocked.
Those who can stand here are already the best in human civilization in terms of original energy attainments, and some of them have even approached the level before Gongchu became an original energy master.
When taken to the battlefield and equipped with advanced equipment, each of them becomes a "general".
Able to rush into enemy warships and kill three to three levels.
But now tell them.
Such a battleship is not weaker than them in terms of raw power?
"This is the real power of this battleship." The collector looked at Shen Shi and said proudly, "He is not only a battleship, but also a powerful subordinate, even without any warriors Piloting, by itself, will be a powerful force on the battlefield, and because of its unique culture, as long as the captain of such a warship is determined, there will be no changes, and there is no possibility of trading with others. , even when the captain dies, he will also choose to die. Coupled with the original energy seal of the absolute command, such a battleship will become every captain's most reliable partner in the universe."
This is why the Collector confidently told Shen Shi at the beginning that as long as he got the battleship, Shen Shi was completely unafraid of some C2-level battleships.
Because such a warship does not need the strength of Captain Shen Shi at all.
He alone is powerful enough.
Coupled with the huge technological gap, even if an ordinary C-level civilization sends out legions to encircle and suppress Shen Shi, it is enough to ensure Shen Shi's safety.
However......
Shen Shi's mood at the moment was a bit complicated.
The battleship is indeed a good battleship, and he can understand the collector's intentions, but the biggest question is...such an intelligent life, different from the battleship AI in the past, will Shi Ling be exposed after coming to Blue Star? exist?
Will he be able to contact his original race one day? Revealing Shi Ling's secret?
He couldn't help but worry about these.
Shen Shi was not polite. He stood up at this moment and said to the collector: "I have something to tell you."
The collector was stunned, and soon opened a separate room.
After Shen Shi walked in and saw the entrance to the room, he said directly: "Gong Mo, as a research expert from the Earth Star Period, you should understand that our Shen family has a huge and dangerous secret."
With just these words, the collector's mood changed.
In the body, the light of the original energy began to surge.
A word came out of the lips woven with gold threads.
"Xinghai?"
His tone also completely returned to normal, which was a sign that his attitude had become extremely serious and serious.
Yes, he understood what Shen Shi meant right away.
For people in the future world three thousand years later, they are quite unfamiliar with the term "star sea". They only know that three thousand years ago, a preliminary warning was issued to humans at that time, and a planetary fortress was brought. The founder of the space battleship passed away and founded a company called "Xinghai" on Blue Star.
This company was once extremely magnificent.
Possessing various technologies that were unimaginable in the Earth Star Era.
However, it also fell apart with the death of the sages.
Since then, no one knows where the technology, warships, information, and various powerful devices possessed by the sage Shenshi came from? How did it bypass the detection of nodes by the Dyke civilization and continuously transport them to Blue Star?
The Dyke people were once crazy about finding this secret.
However, it is a pity that since Shen Shi died, this has become a complete mystery.
Even Shen Shi's son, the great hero Shen Li, had no idea about this.
As for Shen Shi's wife, the woman who trained great heroes, she also chose death without hesitation when mankind decided to surrender.
However--
But there is still a secret, a rumor.
That is the sea of stars!
It is not the sea of stars on the blue star, but there is also a mysterious force called the sea of stars among the stars!
Therefore, when Shen Shi told him about Shen's secret at this moment, this was the first thing the collector thought of!
"As expected, you know." Shen Shi was not surprised that the collector could say these two words, "The article about Xinghai in the information database was probably written by you."
"Patriarch, have you also seen that article?" There was a kind of fanaticism in the collector's surging emotions.
For him, everything in the Earth and Star period has great appeal.
What's more, this is related to the biggest event that happened at the end of the Earth-Star Period.
——The return of Shen Shi and the appearance of Xinghai!
"Yes, I have seen it."
Of course Shen Shi had read that article.
When I saw it, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because the person who wrote this article only relied on a little bit of fragmented information to speculate that all the support Shen Shi received came from an interstellar force also called "Xinghai".
