Compared to ordinary war-related civilizations, Xiao Yu had undoubtedly gone a bit farther. For Xiao Yu, as long as it was technology, it had the possibility of being turned into a weapon. Xiao Yu’s thinking was no longer limited to a single point. Under such circumstances, developing a new weapon to face a new enemy was nothing much for Xiao Yu.
In order to target the Microscopic Civilization, Xiao Yu had specially developed this new-type weapon.
After receiving that sowhat alard ssage from the Microscopic Civilization, Xiao Yu knew that this newly developed weapon of his had achieved a very good effect. Although it could not be seen with the naked eye, Xiao Yu knew that at this mont, within the vast expanse of void before him, countless high-energy particle beams were moving at superluminal speed.
That is right, high-energy particle beams. The principle of this weapon was no different from a particle collider, and its mode of attacking the Microscopic Civilization was also similar to how Xiao Yu had once used a large particle collider to destroy the Droplet probe.
“Aren’t you famous for being small? Then I will likewise use microscopic particles to deal with you…” Xiao Yu said lightly. “Give up resisting and open your data interface!”
“That is impossible!” the Microscopic Civilization replied again.
During these more than ten years, relying on the enormous space inside Level 7 Civilization spacecraft, Xiao Yu had manufactured countless particle acceleration devices to accelerate particles, and had also carried out certain spatial modifications so that these launched particles could carry imnse kinetic energy while advancing in curvature flight. And those needle-tip-like protrusions on the outside of the spacecraft were precisely the launch devices for these particles.
The spacecraft of the Microscopic Civilization were very small. Usually, they were only the size of microscopic particles. Although it was certain that the internal space of these tiny spacecraft was huge, the hull structure was still only that big. It was just like Xiao Yu’s own spacecraft. Although a spaceship only ten kiloters long could contain a sun inside, if a teorite ten kiloters in diater struck that spaceship at a speed extrely close to the speed of light, then that spaceship would still be unable to withstand it.
So by the sa logic, if particles carrying extrely high kinetic energy, maintaining curvature flight while their conventional speed was also extrely close to the speed of light, were used to strike the Microscopic Civilization’s particle spacecraft, the Microscopic Civilization’s spacecraft likewise would be unable to withstand it. The only obstacle to using this weapon was that the target was too small, making accurate aim very difficult. But this point was made up for through sheer quantity. Xiao Yu had several billion spacecraft in total, and this was not that kind of large-scale war that required Xiao Yu to bring out the full performance of his spacecraft. Xiao Yu only needed to control so basic modules of these spacecraft, together with these particle launching devices.
Several billion spacecraft, with each spacecraft carrying anywhere from several million to several hundred million particle beam launch devices. What an enormous number that was. With such an enormous quantity as support, Xiao Yu did not need to aim at all. As long as he confird the approximate direction of the Microscopic Civilization, he could directly launch a carpet-bombing style coverage attack. Within the endless torrent of high-energy particles, so particle beams would always get lucky and just happen to hit the Microscopic Civilization’s spacecraft.
This thod of attack was very ridiculous and laughable. Although the current attack was extrely fierce, it was estimated that even if a Level 6 Civilization spacecraft were placed at the center of the battlefield, these attacks would be unable to destroy it. But things were just that strange. An attack thod that posed no threat to Level 6 Civilization spacecraft could instead happen to cause major casualties to the spacecraft of a Level 7 Microscopic Civilization. This was the power of a specially targeted weapon.
After continuing for several hours, Xiao Yu temporarily stopped attacking the Microscopic Civilization. Once the crisscrossing microscopic particles disappeared, the traces of the Microscopic Civilization once again appeared in Xiao Yu’s spatial network monitoring instrunts. Xiao Yu observed that the intensity of the spatial fluctuations caused by the Microscopic Civilization had decreased by several hundredths of a percent. This ant that during the confrontation of the previous few hours, at least several hundred thousand spacecraft of the Microscopic Civilization had been destroyed by him.
At this mont, both fleets had completely left the Milky Way Galaxy and entered the empty space between galaxies. Matter here was sparse to an unimaginable degree. Usually, on average, there was not even one atom per cubic ter of space. It was precisely because of this empty environnt that this weapon specially developed by Xiao Yu could show its greatest effect. Otherwise, in places where large amounts of matter existed, these microscopic particles launched by Xiao Yu would have been intercepted by other matter before even hitting the target.
“You have no hope. Open the data interface, and I can let you leave.” Xiao Yu made this demand once again.
“As a technological civilization, Xiao Yu, you should know the importance of the central computer to a civilization.” the Microscopic Civilization replied. “This is the key device related to the survival or destruction of our entire civilization. If we allow you into our central computer, then our entire civilization will fall under your control. At that ti, even if we wanted to die, it would be difficult to do so. For us, this is absolutely unacceptable. Believe us. Everything we can tell you, we have already told you. As for the remaining matters, they are not sothing the current you can co into contact with.”
“As long as it is sothing I want to know, then it is sothing I can co into contact with. There is nothing that cannot be known by .” Xiao Yu said lightly. “This will be the last chance. If you still refuse, then I will not ask a next ti.”
“We still refuse. The fate of our civilization cannot be placed in the hands of an outsider.” the Microscopic Civilization replied.
“Very good.”
After that brief exchange, the microscopic particle torrent once again appeared in this stretch of void. Xiao Yu could not perceive the details of this strange war, but he could know that his thod of attack was causing massive casualties to the Microscopic Civilization. But the more this was so, the stranger Xiao Yu felt.
Because it was impossible for the Microscopic Civilization not to know that a place rich in matter was the best environnt for dealing with this kind of attack thod. They had not yet gone far from the Milky Way Galaxy. As long as the Microscopic Civilization turned around and retreated back into the Milky Way Galaxy, they could reduce many casualties. But the Microscopic Civilization never did this. They kept moving farther and farther away from the Milky Way, continuously fleeing toward the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Based on the current speed, the Microscopic Civilization would need only sixty years to flee into the Large Magellanic Cloud. And judging from the current war situation, after sixty years, the population of the Microscopic Civilization would decrease by more than half.
“They would rather lose half their population just to flee into the Large Magellanic Cloud. What exactly is this for? Could it be that in the Large Magellanic Cloud there is sothing capable of changing the course of the war? That should not be the case…” Xiao Yu pondered silently. “My vanguard already set out long ago. It only needs forty years to reach the Large Magellanic Cloud. Let my vanguard thoroughly explore the Large Magellanic Cloud first.”
The war between the two sides continued under this bizarre situation. Every so often, Xiao Yu’s weapon system would rest for a while, and every ti the Microscopic Civilization reappeared, Xiao Yu could observe that their number of mbers had fallen a little more. Up to this point, this situation had already lasted for several decades, and at least three billion spacecraft of the Microscopic Civilization had already been destroyed by Xiao Yu. It was also at this ti that Xiao Yu’s vanguard finally arrived in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
The present Large Magellanic Cloud was already completely different from the Large Magellanic Cloud in Xiao Yu’s mory. The Large Magellanic Cloud had originally possessed one billion stars and a diater of ten thousand light years, but now fewer than one hundred million stars remained, and its diater had shrunk to less than two thousand light years. The orbital trajectories of its stars were entirely different from before. If not for the fact that the elental composition and the overall position of the galaxy had not changed much, Xiao Yu would almost have thought he had arrived in a new galaxy.
A small galaxy only two thousand light years in diater was practically nothing compared to Xiao Yu’s enormous exploratory capability at this mont. The Microscopic Civilization still needed twenty years to arrive here, and twenty years was enough for Xiao Yu to explore the Large Magellanic Cloud carefully several tis over.
“The Microscopic Civilization said that the energy source for the galactic disassembly and reassembly ca from the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is precisely for this reason that the Large Magellanic Cloud shrank so much. Then perhaps within the Large Magellanic Cloud, I may be able to find so clues about this incident…” Xiao Yu silently contemplated this question.
Whether the instigator behind this incident was the Guardian of the Way or the Rebel Alliance, Xiao Yu was trying to get a glimpse of the mysteries behind this nearly heaven-defying thod. Only by glimpsing this mystery could Xiao Yu make a power assessnt in his mind of the Guardian of the Way or the Rebel Alliance, and understand the gap between himself and them.
But in the end, Xiao Yu was still disappointed. The present Large Magellanic Cloud was chaotic, extrely chaotic. Throughout this galaxy were dense gas clouds like those before star birth. Most of the stars that already existed were also showing abnormally intense activity, and their orbital motions were extrely disorderly, like a star system that had only just been born and was still in its active period.
It was very obvious that so enormous upheaval had taken place in the Large Magellanic Cloud so ti before. This matched the information Xiao Yu had already learned.
To describe it in one sentence, the present Large Magellanic Cloud was like an abandoned construction site, chaotic beyond asure.
But there was one thing Xiao Yu could be certain of, and that was that he had discovered nothing of value here. He found no trap, nor any device that might possibly have been aid at him.
“Then… what exactly is the Microscopic Civilization trying so desperately to escape here for?”
