Just like a pool of water, when a bucket of water is taken from so place in the pool, water from the rest will quickly flow over to fill that place. Space has a similar property. After the space in this region was cut away, space from other places also flowed in to fill it again. This is the self-healing property of space.
Xiao Yu knew he had succeeded. He had successfully cut out this spherical space with a diater as large as one light year, allowing it to form a small universe, and had constructed a stable material transmission channel between this small universe and the main universe. Only he, who held the password, could freely shuttle back and forth between the two universes, and any matter not permitted by him could not enter or leave this small universe.
At the very mont the small universe was successfully separated from the main universe, Xiao Yu was t by a new wave of data torrents. However, Xiao Yu had long prepared to et this data torrent, so nothing happened to him due to the impact of this torrent.
If at this mont Xiao Yu were still using his previous computing equipnt, then in that instant he would already be dead. The colossal torrent of data would have burned out all the computing components of the host where Xiao Yu resided, turning Xiao Yu’s host directly into a heap of scrap. And without a computer as a place to exist, Xiao Yu would have no way to survive.
But now Xiao Yu had already adopted the newly developed light computer as his host, so dealing with this data torrent was still within his capability. It rely occupied a full twenty percent of his computational power.
This data stream mainly ca from the linking devices at the main-universe and small-universe ends, the small-universe controlled-movent devices, and the stellar energy collectors. Maintaining the operation of these devices was not a simple matter. With the small universe under traction control and the linking devices opened, unexpected events at the spatial level were constantly occurring. These events had to be personally handled by Xiao Yu. The stellar energy collectors were even more complex. Although a single unit did not consu much computational power, their strength lay in sheer numbers. Xiao Yu manufactured nearly one trillion of them and distributed them beside the thirty-two stars in the small universe. With such vast numbers added together, the computational power required beca considerable.
“It seems the light computer is truly the foundational technology for constructing a small universe.” Xiao Yu thought with a slight, wry smile in his heart. “Without developing the light computer, I would simply be unable to possess such a stable small universe. And this is still an incomplete version of the small universe. If this small universe were fully built and all devices fully activated, it is estimated that sixty percent of my computational power would be occupied. Hm, even if sixty percent of the computational power is occupied, the remaining forty percent is still more than five thousand tis all my forr computational power, enough for to cope with all the events I encounter.”
The transmission and traction devices on the main-universe side were built by Xiao Yu on a specially made large spaceship. This spaceship was only sowhat larger in size and mass, with no other particular peculiarities, yet through it, matter could be allowed to enter the other universe. Its existence also firmly fixed the small universe at so place within the four-dinsional universe, so that it could only stay there and could not move.
By ans of spatial broadcast technology, Xiao Yu received the information transmitted by the devices within the small universe. Through those devices, gazing at the cosmic void with only a sparse thirty-odd bright stars in the sky, Xiao Yu felt sowhat emotional in his heart.
Because the distances between the stars were very close, they naturally looked very bright. Yet at this mont, this small universe still differed sowhat from the Trolor Civilization’s ruins that Xiao Yu had visited. There was only one star in the Trolor Civilization’s ruins, yet it looked like a sky full of stars. In the small universe built by Xiao Yu there were as many as more than thirty stars, yet it appeared quite sparse.
Even a small universe is boundless, but it is finite. Thus, when starlight propagates to the edge of the small universe, it will be bent back. It looks as if another star appears in so illusory place. The specific principle is the sa as when two mirrors are placed facing each other and infinite virtual images appear in both mirrors. Precisely because of this principle, even if the Trolor Civilization’s ruin had only one star, many stars would still appear to be present. However, the small universe Xiao Yu constructed had been born too recently. The light emitted by the stars had not yet propagated a sufficient distance, so only so few were visible.
Because the diater of this small universe was one light year, Xiao Yu knew that after one year, by visual observation, the number of stars in the sky would beco twice the present number. After two years, it would beco three tis the present number, and so on. If this small universe existed long enough, then a sky full of stars appearing within it would not be impossible.
After confirming that the small universe’s existence was stable, the nurous machines already placed within the small universe imdiately began construction tasks. At this mont, Xiao Yu’s workload was heavy. He had to completely develop the one thousand planets moved inside, either building them into habitation planets or industrial planets, and at the sa ti a vast number of stellar energy collection devices required constant control according to the states of the stars.
These stellar energy collection devices were not solar devices in the ordinary sense. Their working principle was entirely different from that of solar devices. The instrunts Xiao Yu built were all made of helium-atomic polyr material. All of them orbited at distances of less than two hundred thousand kiloters from the stars. At these distances, they were constantly stealing mass from the stars and then transporting it by dedicated transport ships to energy plants to supply the traction devices and linking devices located in the two places of the main and small universes.
These two kinds of devices, besides being major consurs of Xiao Yu’s computational power, were also bottomless pits of energy consumption. When in a stationary state, things were sowhat better, but if the small universe, under the traction of the main-universe-side device, moved at full speed, then energy consumption would reach a truly terrifying level. Xiao Yu had made calculations. Under such circumstances, in one year he would need to consu 0.008 solar masses to et all energy demands.
Zero point zero zero eight solar masses is roughly two thousand seven hundred Earth masses. In other words, when the small universe moved at full speed, Xiao Yu needed to consu more than seven Earths every day. One can imagine what an imnse industrial base this required, and such an imnse industrial base in turn demanded how much of Xiao Yu’s computational power.
Fortunately, most of these instrunts could be built within the small universe, and the main universe side only needed to receive energy. This reduced many risks to the small universe. Otherwise, if these critical devices were located in the main universe and then destroyed by the enemy, that would indeed be a troubleso matter.
These devices fell into the category of later-stage construction. Xiao Yu had not yet completed this enormous engineering project. Even though his computational power had now increased by more than ten thousand tis, such a colossal construction task was still sowhat overwhelming for him. Therefore, at this mont, although Xiao Yu had constructed the small universe, this small universe still had no ability to move. A small universe with a diater of one light year, with dozens of stars and thousands of planets within it, was by no ans comparable to a small universe only tens of kiloters across and empty inside.
“Then next it is ti to proceed with small-universe construction and the construction of brand-new warships.” Xiao Yu thought, issuing his orders full of lofty spirit.
The reserves of technology were basically exhausted. At present Xiao Yu still had the two-dinsional fragnt obtained from the spatial lifeform that he had not yet analyzed, but he believed that analyzing two-dinsional technology was a long-term project, not sothing that could be completed in the short term, so there was no rush for the mont. The current technological achievents were already sufficient for his use.
Thus, under Xiao Yu’s leadership, truly large-scale construction began. Xiao Yu planned to build fifty million warships at the true technological level of a Level 6 Civilization, as well as several million super-giant energy bases constructed within the small universe to supply the energy required to maintain the operation of the small universe. At the sa ti, comprehensive reconstruction of the one thousand planets also began, along with the construction of various supporting facilities…
While Xiao Yu was carrying out this vigorous construction task, thousands of light years away from him, around an ordinary red dwarf star, sothing like an asteroid with a diater of more than eight hundred kiloters was quietly orbiting this red dwarf star.
It did not know how long it had been there. It had always been quiet. But at this mont, it showed a trace of movent.
A deep sigh ca from it, “Detestable Specter Race. Your deception made suffer a full-force strike from the Neutron War Star, causing to lose at least eighty percent of my strength. Only now have I sowhat recovered…”
“I must wipe you out, and also annihilate the Divine Ark Civilization. Only thus can I vent the hatred in my heart. Hm, right, according to the intelligence told to by the Taihao Civilization, destroying the Divine Ark Civilization should allow my strength to recover to ninety percent of its peak.”
“I have now recovered thirty percent of my strength. Taking down the Divine Ark Civilization and the Specter Race is no longer an issue. Then set out now, and eliminate these two detestable fellows…”
In the next instant, this imnse existence had disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where it had gone.
