Whether it was that preliminary Level 6 Civilization or the fleeing Pegasus Civilization, both were rely interludes in Xiao Yu’s expedition. Xiao Yu continued to advance, forging ahead without wavering.
The Divine Ark Civilization had already returned to calm. Once again, Xiao Yu set his attention on construction, on the journey, and on the developnt of technology. The clash with that preliminary Level 6 Civilization cost Xiao Yu ten million spaceships, and even more spaceships suffered varying degrees of damage. The damaged ships needed repair, the lost ships needed replenishnt, and within the small universe the large-scale construction tasks had never ceased.
Even so, Xiao Yu did not co away empty-handed from this war. Obtaining the structural principles of the Loya Round Cup was one gain. Another gain was obtained through analyzing the spaceships of that preliminary Level 6 Civilization.
This gain once again made Xiao Yu certain of his idea that a single civilization could not possibly cover the entire surface of contemporary technology. Because through analyzing those captured spaceships, Xiao Yu once more obtained so unexpected technologies. The direct result these technologies brought was that Xiao Yu’s research into that body fragnt of a two-dinsional lifeform made a critical breakthrough.
“We are discussing the feasibility of using two-dinsional technology to construct a new layer of shield.” Xu Junpo reported to Xiao Yu during the scientists’ eting. “The four-dinsional shield transfers all attacks it suffers away by ans of an extra dinsion beyond the three-dinsional world. The two-dinsional shield, however, possesses a principle entirely different from that of the four-dinsional shield. When an object enters a two-dinsional world, it too will be two-dinsionalized, and a two-dinsional world has no height. It has only length and width. This ans that once an object enters the two-dinsional world, it can only move in the directions of length and width and cannot move in the direction of height. Then can we do this. We cover the outer layer of the spaceship with a layer of two-dinsional space, thereby resisting attacks from outside.”
Xiao Yu understood what Xu Junpo ant. In fact, after obtaining that preliminary Level 6 Civilization’s technology, which caused his own technological system to make yet another step forward, Xiao Yu had already started thinking about this question. The principle of the two-dinsional shield is simple. Whether a light-type weapon attack or a solid-type weapon attack, it must advance, and this direction of advance can be regarded as motion in the height direction. Yet the two-dinsional world precisely has no height. Then when these attacks enter the two-dinsional world, how will they move.
Very obviously, they will be held within the two-dinsional world of the two-dinsional shield. Their motion in the height direction will be converted into motion in the directions of length and width. And since the two-dinsional shield enshrouds the entire hull of the spaceship, this ans that an attack coming from the front will be transported by the two-dinsional shield to the back of the spaceship, and then the two-dinsional shield can also release it.
Because the two-dinsional shield is not a truly literal two-dinsional world, the matter that enters the two-dinsional shield will only temporarily lose the third dinsion and will not undergo that sort of violent energy release caused by dinsional fall. After it is released by the two-dinsional shield, it will once again possess the third dinsion.
This is the entire defensive principle of the two-dinsional shield. As for the principle, Xiao Yu and this group of scientists already understood it and had proven the feasibility of the two-dinsional shield in theory. What they needed to do now was to realize it by technical ans.
And with the body fragnt of the two-dinsional lifeform as a physical reference, Xiao Yu believed that a true breakthrough was no longer far off.
Aside from the two-dinsional shield, research on the two-dinsional weapon was also proceeding in intense fashion. Xiao Yu was quite certain that in the Milky Way Galaxy only he possessed two-dinsional technology. If he could develop a two-dinsional weapon, he would thus have a certain advantage. The destructive principle of a two-dinsional weapon is also very simple. By ans of a certain sealed fragnt of two-dinsional space that contains a certain amount of energy as the prir, then by ans of a trigger device to trigger it at a specific location, under the provision of energy that two-dinsional fragnt will have sufficient ability to two-dinsionalize a certain range of three-dinsional space. And since space is two-dinsionalized, the matter within the space naturally cannot escape the fate of being two-dinsionalized. Whether spaceships or stellar bodies, none can escape being two-dinsionalized.
The three-dinsional main universe possesses a certain self-healing property, so the spatial two-dinsionalization caused by a two-dinsional fragnt will not spread without limit. After it has exhausted the energy it carries, the process of spatial two-dinsionalization will stop, and then, under the erosion of the self-healing effect of the three-dinsional main universe, it will gradually shrink the scope of its existence and finally disappear without a trace from the main universe.
Different from the two-dinsional shield, the two-dinsionalization caused by a two-dinsional weapon is permanent and irreversible. Any solid matter that has been two-dinsionalized will, in the instant of dinsional fall, convert that one extra dinsion it possessed into energy and release it violently, and in the end, as the two-dinsional space continuously recedes, it will completely vanish from the three-dinsional main universe without leaving the least residue.
Of course, this is only the situation in theory. In the actual process of operation, situations may also appear in which, because the energy in so places is too abundant and space is too solid, matter cannot be two-dinsionalized or pseudo two-dinsionalization occurs. For example, a low-power two-dinsional weapon obviously cannot transform a planet into a two-dinsional existence. For another example, from his Specter companion, Xiao Yu knew that the Sweepers Civilization’s Neutron War Star had experienced being two-dinsionalized and then restored to a three-dinsional structure.
But no matter what, a two-dinsional weapon is ultimately a powerful weapon and worth Xiao Yu’s devoted research.
There were still roughly one thousand five hundred years to reach the Galactic Center. During this period, Xiao Yu launched a large-scale research campaign on this subject. The Space Academy of Science and the Institute of Physics once again received Xiao Yu’s emphasis. Under Xiao Yu’s leadership, the team of scientists with Xu Junpo, Luka Three, and Luka Five at the forefront once again launched an assault operation.
Countless scientists toiled day and night. Countless information was exchanged. This state of affairs lasted for more than two hundred years. Finally, when Xiao Yu had already replenished supplies three tis and set out on the journey for the fourth ti, the research on the two-dinsional weapon experienced a critical breakthrough. Xiao Yu personally witnessed this event in the laboratory.
It was a transparent glass box. Inside this box was an extrely high-purity vacuum. Aside from a speck of dust with a diater of only one milliter, there was basically no other matter present. In such a situation, a two-dinsional fragnt to which a certain amount of energy had been injected, under the sealing of the encapsulation device, entered this box.
Because an antigravity device had been employed, there was no gravity in this box. That speck of dust simply hovered quietly in the box, awaiting its unknown fate. And because it had been given an initial acceleration, that two-dinsional fragnt was slowly moving forward at a constant speed.
When the distance between the two shortened to less than one deciter, Xiao Yu issued the order.
“Two-dinsional weapon, activate. All scientists pay attention to every kind of data during the experint.”
With the issuance of Xiao Yu’s order, a series of indescribable reactions occurred within this thing that looked like an iron sheet. The two-dinsional space fragnt sealed within this sheet of iron seed to have taken a great tonic and suddenly began to expand. The first to be swallowed by it were those iron sheets that wrapped it. They were rapidly two-dinsionalized. In this process, Xiao Yu detected a very obvious energy release reaction. The two-dinsional space continued to expand and finally swallowed that preset speck of dust.
This patch of two-dinsional space ultimately expanded to a diater of about one ter before finally stopping.
With this experint concluded, Xiao Yu and the scientists imdiately began the subsequent work of data analysis. After analyzing all the data, Xiao Yu announced the result. “This experint was a success. The two-dinsional fragnt we had prepared and sealed in advance, under our control, successfully two-dinsionalized the predetermined target. But this experint still exposed so problems, naly that the power is too low to expand the kill radius on a large scale and that effective pinpoint strikes cannot be implented. These two problems an that the two-dinsional weapon still cannot be applied in actual combat. Next we will continue to research these two problems.”
The two-dinsional weapon is the basis of the two-dinsional shield, because the two-dinsional weapon can be regarded as uncontrolled two-dinsionalization, while the two-dinsional shield can be regarded as controlled two-dinsionalization. This is because the two-dinsional shield still needs subsequently to release the three-dinsional objects or light it has absorbed. If it does not release them, the violent energy released by the dinsional fall of the three-dinsional entities may instead produce other adverse impacts on the spaceship’s shield. The relationship between these two is sowhat analogous to the relationship between a hydrogen bomb and controlled nuclear fusion. And there is no doubt that the hydrogen bomb is the basis of controlled nuclear fusion. Likewise, the two-dinsional weapon is also the basis of the two-dinsional shield.
The two-dinsional weapon had already shown its first rudints. It could be believed that the developnt of a two-dinsional weapon that could truly participate in actual combat was not far off, and the research and developnt of the two-dinsional shield now had hope as well.
Ti continued to pass slowly. After another one hundred years, the unidirectional control technology for the linking channel between the main and small universes, based on the Loya Round Cup technology, was finally developed and entered into practical application. From this mont on, Xiao Yu would no longer need to rely on the instrunt at the main universe’s end. He needed only the instrunt at the small universe’s end to conveniently control the opening and closing of the channel.
This ant that the security of Xiao Yu’s small universe had risen by another level.
Amid slow developnt, another three hundred years gradually passed.
