Chapter 193: Open and closed string transitions, threats

What is the impact of the sudden change of microscopic particles, especially strings, on the macroscopic world?

Some scholars in the Federation have been studying it.

But the results are uncertain.

The first reason is that the string itself is not something that can be directly observed. Like virtual particles, it is determined by calculating the impact of strings on other matter or energy.

The second reason is that strings are actually very stable, which also makes most of the basic particles in the universe very stable, while string information flow weapons destroy the stability of strings. It is like throwing a stone on the ice surface absolutely vertically, and you cannot detect the information of the ice surface, so you have no idea of ​​the specific and precise state of the stone after it falls on the ice surface.

Does it bounce up or embed into the ice layer?

Will it move to the left, right, forward, backward, or a few degrees to the right, a few degrees to the left, is it biased to the southwest, or northwest?

These are all uncertain.

Unless you accurately measure the ice layer.

However, with the current strength of the Civilization Federation, there is no way to accurately measure the ice layer (string).

Although the Civilization Federation's use of strings is much better than tens of thousands of years ago, this use is still rough. Yan Xia believes that higher civilizations have more powerful string technology, but the Federation is still far behind.

Yan Xia asked all warships to begin to gather after the string information flow weapon was launched.

Since the enemy's status is unknown and the extent of the enemy's damage cannot be determined, what must be done is to keep up with the attack when the enemy has not repaired.

As for why the string information flow weapon is not continued to be used...

Because the bullets are not infinite.

It will take about a hundred years to get from here to the inside of the Federation.

But fortunately, 99% of the resources inside the Federation have long been harvested by the Federation. After all, this is the Federation's back garden.

So the Silk Civilization must enter a star system to repair.

And this is much more difficult than directly destroying a star system, and the Silk Civilization fleet has been severely damaged, which is even more difficult.

All this is just speculation at present.

After all, the enemy is too far away.

At a distance of light years, the so-called 100,000-meter-class and 1-million-meter-class warships could not be discovered at all, and the warships of the Silk Civilization also had the technology to hide.

…

About 115 years later.

Kunlun discovered the warships of the Silk Civilization about 0.7 light years away, and those warships became wreckage.

They were fragmented, and some places had scars from being hit by powerful energy.

The number of these warships was tens of thousands.

Yan Xia ordered some biological warships to collect the wreckage of the Silk Civilization warships.

And he led the Kunlun to continue moving forward, after all, time waits for no one.

More than a decade ago, he had observed a star in the Federation flickering, which was the enemy and the Federation fighting. No information from the star system was received, and that star system must have been blocked.

About 21 years later, Yan Xia got some of the wreckage of the Silk Civilization warships for research.

"The energy actually comes from the inside!"

Yan Xia was very surprised.

The inside he said was not the inside of the warship, but the inside of the material, the inside of the molecule, and the inside of the atom.

The change of the string seems to have caused the transformation of matter. Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission even turned some particles into antimatter. These traces can be clearly detected in the microscopic world.

But this is not what surprised Yan Xia the most.

What surprised Yan Xia was the disappearance of some matter. The disappearance of these substances left no trace. You can't even observe the signs of annihilation. These substances seem to have never existed.

"Will the string be destroyed?" Yan Xia asked this question.

In the existing understanding, the string will not be destroyed, because according to the law of conservation of energy, the destruction of the string must produce something else. Is it another string?

Or something smaller than the string?

This is a challenge to the existing string theory.

"Basically impossible." Ella replied.

"If according to the existing theory, then these strings should be converted into other forms. Did they become closed strings and then go to other dimensions, so they disappeared."

Yan Xia guessed that although this statement is equally absurd, it is estimated to be 100 million times more likely than the former.

What will happen if the open string is transformed into a closed string and the closed string is transformed into an open string?

Closed strings are gravitons, and open strings are the other basic particles that make up everything in the world. When closed strings are converted to open strings, it means that gravity can be directly converted into energy.

This is a major discovery.

"If this is the case, then the possibility of our turning open strings into closed strings has increased by 0.00000000057%, which is a big step forward." Ella poured a bucket of cold water.

A thing with a probability of less than one in 100 million can be called impossible.

Now it is still in the impossible stage, after all, they create chaos, and chaos gives this kind of accidental event.

Accidents may become inevitable, but even if more of these accidents are used, the Federation cannot control the strings.

"Then let's solve the fleet of the Silk Civilization first."

Yan Xia didn't want to understand this matter in depth at this time. Every moment that passed, the fleet of the Silk Civilization might break through the star system to get energy supplies.

"According to the analysis of the wreckage, the loss of warships of the Silk Civilization should be between 70,000 and 74,000."

"It is equivalent to losing more than half of the combat power."

"And I don't think their energy reserves will be optimistic, because the string is an indiscriminate attack, and the energy storage device is very sophisticated, and it can't withstand such variables." Ella analyzed.

This gave Yan Xia some reference.

The warship is not far from reaching that star system.

Every star system in the Federation is absolutely impregnable, because it relies on the energy of the entire Federation. After knowing that Star City has excess energy, Yan Xia asked Ella to develop a quick device that can transfer these energies in special periods.

The excess energy will be directly applied to the defense of the star system.

This caused some trouble for the Silk Civilization fleet.

And in order to deal with the situation where the Federation border was breached, Yan Xia installed AAA guns in many star systems in the Federation.

This is a wise decision.

However, the number of enemy warships is still nearly 50,000. If these 50,000 warships attack one place at the same time, how long can a star system resist?

After another 32 years, Yan Xia finally reached the outside of the attacked star system.

Although he was well prepared, he still sighed.

"Get ready to attack the star system!"

It was not blocked.

After all, the Federation's giant ships are too few. A star system is full of biological warships and old metal warships, with a number of less than 1,000, maybe even less than 500.

At this time.

A message came from the inside of the star system.

The content of the message is a video.

There are still many Federation citizens in the star system!

Obviously, this is a threat from the Silk Civilization...

"Yan Xia, no murderer will give up the hostages in his hands, and no hostage will be rescued under negotiation." Ella spoke at the right time.

Now, Yan Xia is facing a difficult decision.

In the past, he could do it without hesitation.

But now, is his decision worthy of the soldiers who sacrificed before?
