#1078 - Chapter 1078 Robbery is easier! Gray lines that devour space? Counterattack!
Without Haiyina's help, the knowledge involved in this concept would be, to the current Chen Hao…
…like a towering mountain to an ant!
After all, the systematic knowledge he currently possesses is still at a level below a Grade 4 civilization.
What Haiyina gave him before was limited to a certain weapon, or at most a certain field, but not the entire technological system.
Using knowledge from a civilization below Grade 4 to study singularities?
To study reverse engineering technology?
The gap is too big!
He must raise his own scientific and technological knowledge to the highest level.
Unable to obtain it through Haiyina?
There is still one more path!
Let the Toad Clan plunder technology in another universe through conquest.
But there is a problem with this.
Through the Toad Clan's plunder, the target is limited to civilizations that do not have the ability to escape that star field.
That is, Grades 2 to 6 are classified as intermediate civilizations.
Civilizations above Grade 6 have the ability to cross multiple galaxies, and they would have run away long ago.
So…
…even if the Toad Clan desperately plunders, they can only plunder up to Grade 6 civilizations.
At that time, how to cross hundreds of billions of light-years to plunder civilizations above Grade 6 in certain relatively safe areas?
Furthermore.
The singularity research and development is extremely heaven-defying and requires the knowledge of top civilizations as a foundation. If we don't use plundering…
…how long will it take to improve our own technological level?
Hundreds of millions of years?
Or billions of years?
Therefore, after plundering up to Grade 6 civilizations, a technological leap must be completed to have the ability to cross multiple galaxies.
What is the ability to cross multiple galaxies?
Warp engine technology!
But definitely not the project he established before, which is still in the theoretical stage.
Warp engines start at ten times the speed of light.
Crossing 10 billion light-years would take 1 billion years.
Multi-galaxy crossing technology means that warp engine technology is not entry-level, but has reached a very heaven-defying level!
In other words…
…other research and development will take a back seat.
For a long time to come, he must specialize in warp engines.
Of course, not now.
If he can plunder a Grade 6 civilization, the warp engine technology will be even higher, which is something his own research and development cannot compare to.
Plundering is simpler!
…
Another universe.
Unknowingly, two or three months have passed.
Yunhe Star's attacks have long since stopped.
First, mobilizing all the fleets to come over and attacking frantically at the cost of energy consumption could not shake the defense at all.
Second.
It's really unbearable!
In a doomsday universe where energy is scarce, such a large-scale fleet's continuous attacks, even Yunhe Star can't withstand the consumption.
To put it bluntly, Yunhe Star doesn't expect to break through the Toad Clan civilization's defense now.
Nor does it expect to kill the Toad Clan.
It can only settle for second best.
Using the captured fleet as hostages to coerce the Toad Clan to hand over the technology.
I can't break through your defense?
Can't destroy you?
You may still threaten me in the future?
I also have space solidification technology, so I have the ability to protect myself?
The fleet has been brought over!
On the huge projection, the commander hiding in the cloak roared furiously: "What are you dawdling about? If you don't hand over the space solidification technology, all the soldiers in the entire fleet will have to die!"
People of Hasla, look at your superiors, they can even abandon the army.
What about you? You will also be abandoned!
The first sentence is a threat.
The latter is to sow discord.
But it has to be admitted that the discord is very effective.
If the army, as the guardian, can be abandoned by the higher-ups, do ordinary people still have value?
The key is that this is not one or two soldiers, but a huge fleet.
Millions!
Haven't they handed it over yet?
Inside the flagship's command room.
On the projection, the leader is very impatient: "Don't waste your breath with them, start killing the hostages now—kill ten thousand each time!"
Yes, Leader!
The commander immediately obeyed and prepared to order his deputy.
When threats and sowing discord do not see results in a short time, killing hostages is more effective.
Wait a minute!
Suddenly!
Just as the commander was about to give the order, he noticed a change in the data on another projection screen.
That's the monitoring screen.
It is divided into many linked blocks, monitoring the sphere made of energy membrane from different angles.
Whoosh!
A pale gray streamer shot out from a certain position…
No!
What shot out was not a streamer, but a slender line.
It flew out at faster-than-light speed, and the surrounding space where it passed was inexplicably distorted.
Then…
…whole pieces of space were sucked into the gray line!
Black holes can prevent light from escaping, but black holes still exist in space.
And this gray line…
…directly absorbs space!
Including the matter and energy in the space, as well as all the warships from Yunhe Star within the attack range, all were sucked in in an instant—the Toad Clan's captured warships were not sucked in.
This is…
…" The commander's expression changed drastically.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The first gray line's attack direction was not the flagship.
In just a moment, countless gray lines spurted out from different positions outside the energy membrane sphere.
Yunhe Star dispatched all its fleets.
At this moment, tens of thousands of warships surrounded the energy membrane sphere from the periphery, forming an impenetrable barrier.
But now…
…the gray lines shot out from different directions encompassed all the airspace!
What's going on?!
Flagship command room.
On the screen, the leader who was talking to the commander realized that something was wrong.
It's…
…" The commander wanted to say something.
Swish!
He and the flagship he was on disappeared without a trace.
…
In order to buy time, the Toad Clan demanded that all the captured fleets be brought over for face-to-face trading.
You give me the fleet.
I give you the space solidification technology.
You must know that the Toad Clan does not have warp engine technology, and it took the captured fleet more than two months to come from Yunhe Star.
Conversely.
If it were Yunhe Star civilization, warships with warp engines could return in just three days.
Three days.
For Yunhe Star's higher-ups, every day felt like a year.
Three months ago, in order to completely destroy the Hasla civilization, they continued to reinforce and send out all the fleets.
Now, all the fleets have lost contact!
The commander clearly saw the gray line. Logically speaking, the warship's monitoring system would record the scene and send it to the home star.
But the home star's intelligence center did not receive any information.
Because that space was swallowed!
With space as the medium, how can the sent information and signals reach the destination?
That's right!
The information was also swallowed by the gray line.
As a result, no one knows what happened.
The entire fleet disappeared in an incomprehensible way, as if it had evaporated from the world.
Could it be…
…" Inside the main hall.
The leader's face was pale: "Hasla has weapons that surpass us?"
Impossible! If they had that kind of weapon, why didn't they counterattack after being attacked for so long?
Even…without waiting for us to dispatch, they would have attacked!
The other core members also expressed their thoughts.
In theory, the Toad Clan cannot be that strong, otherwise they would have attacked proactively long ago.
These higher-ups do not know that when the first batch of fleets attacked, the new weapon had just been successfully developed.
As for the two or three months of delay…
…they were mass-producing it!
Just as these higher-ups were discussing in the hall, the alarm suddenly sounded.
