Chapter 1732 - 1730: The Response Conference
In the past few days, Peter Brown had not been idle, pondering ways to counter the impending peril. Having seen too much about the tenth dimension through the Virtual Cosmic Network, Peter was convinced that Earth as it stands could not withstand the onslaught of the Star Kingdom. Let alone the Star Kingdom, even an attack from some star bandits would suffice to destroy Earth. Therefore, he now must manufacture some powerful offensive starships.
Materials kept arriving incessantly, and Peter felt that the area he was in was starting to feel a bit too small.
What are starships?
They are massive constructs capable of engaging in battles in the starry sky. To produce such things here, one problem is the lack of materials, and another is the insufficiency of space—it’s hard to get the work done.
Does he have to establish a base outside Earth?
Peter hesitated at the thought, not expecting developments to take this turn.
When he checked the Network, Peter was speechless to find that everyone was thrilled about making contact with an alien civilization. Discussions abounded, and many believed that with the arrival of aliens, Earth’s development would accelerate, and the future of the human species would be brighter.
Yet, when those who were calm issued their warnings about the dangers, they were ignored by the masses.
The issue was indeed significant. The Virtual Cosmic Network was filled with related content. Would the star bandits, a most malevolent organization, come plundering upon learning of Earth’s existence?
It was a conclusion that Peter didn’t need to ponder long to reach. The star bandits may already be on a countdown to their arrival. At that time, to the bandits, Earth would be like completely defenseless humans possessing vast wealth.
Setting aside Earth’s resources, just selling the several billion Earthlings could bring the bandits immense fortune; it was the kind of thing that could provoke anyone’s greed.
