Voyage of the Stars

The moment the fleets entered warp speed, the Awakeners also started to move, but they did not move in a uniform manner like the Reapers, but more like skirmishing. One or several warships formed a small group, and the land forces Entering the warp state one after another.

The Awakeners who appeared in the starry sky only had 1.7 billion battleships, but they were not afraid at all when facing the Reapers with hundreds of billions of ships. After detecting the Reapers taking action, they all faced them head-on. superior.

Ten light-years apart, it would take about seven days for the two sides to collide head-on. However, at this moment, the battle between the two obviously did not require real battleships to collide, let alone to fight against each other. The two sides continued to close the distance, just to let their powerful weapons hit each other better.

As for what kind of weapon it was, both sides quickly told each other the facts.

First, a strange phenomenon appeared in the starry sky. The space at the front of the Reaper fleet suddenly distorted, as if a black hole had appeared. If you use detection methods outside the light cone to detect it, you can obviously see that the starry sky suddenly suddenly It collapsed, and the surrounding three spatial dimensions of length, width and height were suddenly pulled to a certain point.

Black hole bombs are also called gravity bombs.

The Reaper fleet first dropped gravity bombs above the starry sky. They did not seem to be doing this to kill the awakeners, but more like a battlefield arrangement.

Probably because gravity bombs are not the most effective way to kill a level six civilization.

Sure enough, after the artificial black holes appeared one after another, there were streams of strange particles that could not be detected by conventional means bypassing these artificial black holes. These strange particle streams were not accelerated by the gravitational field of the artificial black holes, because their own speed was faster than the speed of light. Still fast.

Belonging to the category of weapons outside the light cone, artificial black holes are only used to cover the emission end of these particle flows to become more concealed.

This strange particle flow attack method seems to be the prelude to the war of the sixth-level civilization. The Reapers are using it, and the Awakeners are also using this attack method.

It’s just that these attack methods are completely invisible in the visible universe, because they do not interact with light at all. This leads to the fact that when the two sides start a war, nothing seems to happen. They just see the fleets of both sides entering the warp state, and then appear. A group of man-made black holes disrupted space, and the starry sky suddenly felt quiet.

From a conventional perspective, you can't see anything at all when looking at strike methods that exceed the speed of light. But in fact, the two sides have already fought in the world outside the light cone.

The shields of a Reaper warship suddenly lit up, and then it was unable to maintain warp speed and was forced to exit warp. What I want to say here is that the so-called shield lighting up is not "bright" in the traditional sense, because no photons appear at all.

The shield of this Reaper warship is not a traditional shield, and the same is true when the shield is lit. Its shield is not visible in the visible universe. Similarly, its shield does not react with photons, nor does it participate in electromagnetic fields. force effect.

Therefore, from the perspective of the time of the visible universe, it seems that nothing happened and it exited the warp state on its own, but in fact this is not the case.

Its shield blocked the blow from outside the light cone. Obviously, it was lucky that it only exited the warp state and was not destroyed as a result.

The other black battleship in the battleship team it belongs to is not so lucky, because it has received more hits. In the invisible world, its shield that does not participate in the electromagnetic force has been broken. The shield generator also burned out due to overload.

It was then hit directly by a stream of tachyon particles.

This kind of strike method outside the light cone showed the world for the first time its power. From a conventional perspective, this kind of strike means nothing. There is no brilliant beam of energy, no faint light path formed by the escape of photons, and no earth-shattering movement.

Even the space that this particle flow passes through does not react at all. Everything is normal, as if nothing happened.

But only the target who was hit knows that is not the case.

The black battleship Reaper was hit on the left side string. At the moment it was hit, the color of its left string first faded a little, and its pure black exterior turned into dark gray. Then its color changed rapidly, maybe dozens of Planck times or maybe Over hundreds of Planck times, the black at its left chord becomes lighter and lighter, and then becomes transparent.

Well, transparency is just viewed from a conventional perspective. In fact, it is not transparent, but it has become another form of existence. If the armor of this black battleship in its normal state is called visible cosmic matter, then it will be After being hit by a strike method outside the light cone, it becomes another form of existence, which may be called space quality.

The place that was struck disappeared in the visible universe, because the change time was extremely short, so it looked as if the black battleship had just been pushed out of the warp state, and then it was as if someone had used video editing to move it from the left to the left. Everything from the side string position to the rear of the battleship was cut off.

It can be seen that the cut surface is very smooth, as if a complete battleship suddenly lost half of it, leaving only the head there. It is almost like using special effects to cut out part of the layer that originally belonged to something in the video.

The parts hit by this kind of strike outside the light cone all disappeared, as if they had received a blow from nothingness.

But the miraculous thing is that no photons were produced in the place where it disappeared, and only some faint meson-like particles drifted out from there, proving to the visible universe that something terrible had just happened here.

The appearance of meson-like particles is also the existence of the tail half of this battleship, the last evidence of its existence in the visible universe.

Because half of it was suddenly missing, half of the battleship was left, and it was immediately completely scrapped by a lightning spark failure.

The encounter of this warship is just a microcosm of the vast battlefield. After both sides turned on the warp state and moved quickly, warships without heads or tails appeared one after another in the starry sky, and some warships also appeared in the middle. The big hole is as if the abdomen has been hollowed out. Looking from the bottom, you can see the starry sky on the back.

There are also some luckier battleships, but there are some gaps around them, just like a biscuit being bitten. These battleships that were not seriously damaged slowly healed under the work of the repair system. They were lucky enough.

More battleships were directly hit by a wave and disappeared into the universe.

Of course, all that have been destroyed so far are the Reaper warships.

This kind of battle is very magical. There was no sound in the universe, and now there is no light. The battle between the two sides is silent and extremely quiet. There are only faint scattered meson particles trying to attack those civilizations that can only observe things in the visible universe. Proof that here, it is indeed not as peaceful as it seems.
