#759 - Chapter 759 Mirror Shield
They were still flying, but not in a straight line.
From the images, they seemed to be flying along the surface of a cylinder or a sphere.
The space mecha warships, like decals printed on a pen holder, rotated endlessly around the surface.
"This is command central, any team members who receive this message, please respond," Lu Guyun called out repeatedly through the microphone.
But there was no response.
It was uncertain if they were still alive.
One possibility was that they were still alive, but trapped in a closed two-dimensional plane, unable to receive or respond to messages.
Another possibility was that they had already sacrificed themselves, completely transformed into a three-dimensional two-dimensional form.
No one knew which situation it was.
Now, there was no other choice but to wait.
Fortunately, their spaceships did not require energy replenishment and would not run out of power.
After successfully attacking, the 28 sub-planetary attack ships of the United American Federation continued to advance.
Everyone was silent.
Everyone was racking their brains to find a solution.
These 28 attack ships were truly too bizarre; no one knew how they defended, nor did anyone know how they attacked.
Without knowing the principle, it was impossible to find an effective method of attack.
"Deputy Commander Liu, what are your thoughts?" Dongfang Chen connected with Liu Feiying.
"It looks familiar, but it is not any of the four Realm Arts that I have mastered," Liu Feiying said.
"Are you suggesting that their technology might have the same origin as Realm Arts?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Very likely," Liu Feiying nodded.
"It seems there are still many things on Blue Star that we don't understand!" Dongfang Chen exclaimed.
"That's normal."
"Do you have any countermeasures?"
"These warriors should still be alive. From our perspective, they seem to be compressed into a closed two-dimensional curved surface. But from their perspective, it may still be a three-dimensional view, just trapped in a repeating space, like being lost in the woods," Liu Feiying analyzed.
"Continue," Dongfang Chen said, finding it reasonable.
"The two-dimensional image we see should be the two-dimensional projection of this space in the real world. So, since they are still moving, it means they are still alive."
"It's just hard to say how long they can last. Imagine, when you stand in place and find another you in front of you, and you can see the back of your own head, what does that feel like?"
"The you in front is doing the same actions as you, taking the same steps, but you can't catch up no matter what, what does that feel like?"
The reason they could see themselves was because this closed space was too small. According to the diameter of the cylinder in the real-world projection, this confined space was only a few dozen meters wide at most.
In other words, the distance between oneself and oneself was only a few dozen meters, so naturally, they could see each other.
"I think anyone who sees such a strange scene would probably go crazy, right?" Liu Feiying analyzed empathetically.
"Then how can we break this closed two-dimensional curved surface?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"I feel like there's no need to break it. Since it's energized, it's very likely to disappear naturally when the energy is exhausted," Liu Feiying thought for a moment and replied.
Dongfang Chen nodded.
"What is the reason for the enemy warships' immunity to attacks? Is it possible that it is also some kind of sub-space technology?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"With the spatial shield constructed by Pan-Realm, we can see the ballistic distortion caused by the spatial distortion. But their shields have no distortion phenomenon, yet ion cannons can pass directly through. This feels a bit like..."
"Like what?"
"Like a mirror image," Liu Feiying pondered over the wording.
"That's right, it does look like a mirror image," Dongfang Chen agreed.
"It seems that the Realm Arts described in the Treasure Sutra are not complete," Liu Feiying said.
"In your experience, is there any way to break a mirror image?" Dongfang Chen asked.
The reason why a mirror image cannot be broken is because any attack is ineffective.
If you can't hit it, how can you break it?
"Attacking the mirror image is useless. Unless you find the warship's real body, the mirror image can never be broken," Liu Feiying said to the essence of the problem.
"Then where do you think their real bodies are hidden?"
"They must be with the mirror image. Since it is a mirror image, it certainly does not have any offensive power. Conversely, since the other party has offensive power, it means that the real body is within it," Liu Feiying analyzed.
"The mirror image wraps the real body, isn't that just like a shield?" Dongfang Chen understood.
"To break the mirror image, you must first break the real body. But the real body is in the mirror image, and without breaking the mirror image, you cannot attack the real body. In that case, wouldn't it be unsolvable?"
