Everyone was silent by the ti the conversation reached this point.
If anyone else had made these remarks, they could only be considered as speculation about Interstellar Travel.
But when Shen Shi said it, it was fact.
Moreover, there were certain things that they could understand, and even imagine.
For instance, space claustrophobia, and the theory of the Cosmic prison.
Another example is the status of the captain on the spaceship.
So people had boarded Shen Shi’s spaceship and witnessed the evident respect that the two Aliens had for Shen Shi as the captain.
Reflecting on it now, perhaps it was fear.
If humanity were to be defeated, even if Shen Shi was willing to take them or so humans away, what would their status be on the spaceship?
Would there be conflicts with other Aliens? Would they strive for more rights? Would there be infighting?
The answer may reside within each individual’s heart.
So, who were once desperate to get a "ticket," a guarantee of escape amidst the great battle, such as Curtis, now harbored a vague fear of that outco.
On Blue Star, their status is high, they are free and enjoy life.
But once aboard the spaceship, in this dark and perilous Cosmos, they would be nothing more than a group of pitiful creatures protected and controlled by Shen Shi.
"Is there truly no solution for this situation?" soone finally couldn’t help but ask, "Are those more advanced civilizations the sa?"
"Good question." Shen Shi looked at the person speaking.
It was Villard.
This Western Alliance elite, who had given Shen Shi impressions of being "shaless," "brazen," "shrewd," now bore an expression of weightiness.
Clearly, the harshness and danger of Interstellar Travel far exceeded his imagination.
"Science, knowledge, technology, such notions only exist among sentient life; essentially, they’re all ant to make life stronger." Shen Shi’s tone changed noticeably, "Thus, another understanding of the Cosmos is that every danger has a solution. If unsolved, it rely shows your weakness."
"Does that include psychological dangers?" soone asked.
"Of course." Shen Shi replied affirmatively, "We all know that human psychology is extrely fragile. Blue Star has many psychological patients, much of which is due to trivial and simple causes, yet they lead to psychological problems. Thus, psychology as a field developed—and in the endless Star Sea, such disciplines are far more important than on Blue Star!"
With these words, the originally dead atmosphere seed to beco sowhat lively.
Quite a few people subtly breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, even Blue Star has a field of psychology, even Blue Star’s ships have psychological doctors and related dications. So in interstellar travel, in those more advanced civilizations, how could there not be such research?
In fact, from Shen Shi’s perspective, this crisis should be one that most civilizations must face.
Even Curtis was sowhat invigorated.
Yet what Shen Shi said next plunged their spirits again.
"The problem is, I don’t have enough resources to provide for a group of people whose willpower is insufficient, even extrely weak." Shen Shi said.
Many people’s expressions stiffened once more.
"The field of willpower is a significant and powerful area in the Void, and it similarly makes related costs high."
Shen Shi continued speaking with an almost cold tone, as if unaware of their reaction, "Therefore, in interstellar travel, most people actually have only one path, which is to strengthen their own willpower, to make their spirit strong. But this requires talent, requires intrinsic ability. It’s well understood, isn’t it? When you return, simply peruse the relevant data, and you’ll understand the vast difference in ntal resilience between people. Hence—if humanity ultimately loses, the ones I will take will be the group among humans with the strongest and most resolute will. Unfortunately, not everyone among you ets the criteria."
The dagger is revealed!
Yes, by this point, everyone understood the real purpose of Shen Shi’s lesson.
To teach them the common knowledge of Interstellar Travel?
Perhaps that was part of the purpose, but more importantly, it was within these words!
This was a kind of warning!
The man holding the "tickets" before them wasn’t even planning to give them the chance to compete by any ans, but instead, in a nearly rciless way, directly extinguished the desires and aspirations of so people.
Curtis’s face already seed sowhat ashen.
Was his willpower strong?
While he wanted to give himself a confident and affirmative answer, unfortunately, reality told him so clearly that his willpower might not even be on par with that of an ordinary person.
Depression, insomnia, irritability... when alone, he often found it hard to control his emotions, yet he had to restrain himself in public places.
Many psychological issues he’s experienced, he had even relied on dication for a long ti just to sleep.
But if that’s the case, if that’s the reality...
There’s no place for him to survive on Shen Shi’s spaceship!
Once again, the scene fell silent.
Everyone was diligently digesting everything Shen Shi had said.
