Chapter 558 Four-dimensional Blockade
The other end of the dimensional silk bridge.
The fourth dimension.
A huge number of Zergs flew over from the other end of the dimensional channel and then scattered.
When the model of the dimensional channel was reconstructed and the dimensional channel within the horizon was discovered, the passing rate of the Zerg increased to one in 700.
That is, one out of 700 Zerg units will reach the fourth dimension.
After the construction of the dimensional silk bridge, this number dropped sharply to one out of every 400,000 Zerg units.
Because the original vacuum environment inside the dimensional channel was destroyed, the Zerg units also had to withstand a very terrifying gravitational pressure.
The reason why there is still one unit coming is that the matter entering the dimensional channel will not fill the dimensional channel.
It's like putting a rope through the middle of a water pipe, and the rope does not touch the pipe wall.
What would happen if it touched the pipe wall?
That would be the total collapse of the dimensional channel.
The black hole would absorb a lot of energy from the star, and then it would no longer be stable, thus tearing the dimensional channel apart.
The dimensional silk bridge itself is a very bold thing.
Ella did it because the Federation had no choice.
The Federation needs a large number of stable transport forces to reach the four-dimensional space, and it is very necessary to do so.
Just like the waves in the star domain of the flying civilization.
That kind of expansion is many times greater than the investment of the Federation.
Why do they do this?
Of course, it is to transport a large number of troops to the three-dimensional space. If only a small group comes to the three-dimensional space, the flying civilization can quickly solve them, so what is the point?
It is a small group, but in fact it is a small group that has failed countless times before arriving.
Its cost may not be as much as the former, but the harvest is not either.
One invests 10,000 and the harvest is 1, and the other invests 100 million and the harvest is 10,000.
It seems that the proportion is the same.
But this is a horizontal comparison, what about the vertical?
Time itself is a cost. If the time cost is counted, the former needs to invest continuously for 10,000 years to harvest 10,000, while the latter only needs 1 year to harvest 10,000.
Whether it is for the Federation or for other civilizations, 10,000 years is obviously very short.
But this is not a question of short and long.
If you can do it in less time, why spend more time to increase risks in other aspects?
Invest 100 million and get 10,000. Since the time is short, the risk is controllable.
However, if you invest for 10,000 years, some unknown changes may occur, which may lead to the loss of even 1% of the profit.
It seems that investing for 10,000 years is the most stable, but it is not the case.
At this time, even if there is only a 1 in 400,000 probability, the Zerg will reach the fourth dimension at a rate of more than 70 per second.
In the third dimension, the number of Zerg has reached the extreme.
Ella has developed more than 100 super star nests around the dimensional channel in thousands of years, continuously supplying Zerg units to the fourth dimension.
After arriving in the fourth dimension, these bugs will fly towards the nearest four-dimensional star system.
There must be civilization there.
Their role is to fight, to kill, and to disrupt the actions of those four-dimensional civilizations.
Bugs are very fragile.
But when there are enough of them, they will also cause some trouble.
Because their attack power cannot be underestimated.
The civilization of the fourth dimension cannot ignore this, and the Zerg can also act in a dispersed manner, and each one needs to be killed at a cost.
In order to buy time for the Zerg, the four-dimensional observatory was built on top of the structure extending from the dimensional silk bridge.
Although it is called an observatory, it is actually built according to the standards of a fortress.
It is not a giant structure as a whole.
Instead, it is composed of countless small structures.
It covers the frame of the dimensional silk bridge.
Each structure consists of a main body and a weapon system.
The dimensional silk bridge requires a very powerful weapon system to resist attacks from the fourth dimension.
In order to make the work here more reliable, Ella used clones.
The clones did not come to the fourth dimension by spacecraft, but were directly stuffed into the bodies of the Zerg. After the Zerg passed through the dimensional channel, these people would come out.
Humans themselves are the cheapest intelligent system.
Ella estimated that 100 million people would be invested in the first stage to reach the fourth dimension, which means that 39.9999 trillion clones would be lost.
This number is huge.
But compared to the Zerg, it is quite small.
Since Ella studied the dimensional channel, the total number of Zerg units invested has exceeded 100 billion.
All of these were buried inside the dimensional channel.
Compared to Zerg units, clones are actually quite cheap. The energy of one Zerg unit can produce hundreds of thousands of clones.
Here.
All clones are instilled with a sense of honor.
This sense of honor comes from the grand narrative.
In the Federation, everyone is insignificant.
Everyone's dream is to leave their own mark in history.
Therefore, everyone hopes that they can enter the grand narrative.
This causes everyone in the Federation to be extremely concerned about the major events of human civilization.
Every news broadcast about human civilization starts with billions of broadcasts and will become a widely discussed topic.
But in fact, these things have nothing to do with them.
Even if they are related, they can only be washed away to any place at will with the torrent.
Their attention will not cause any changes to the things themselves.
But the more they know this, the more they yearn for grand narratives.
Why are there so many explorers in the Federation?
Are they short of money?
Of course not!
They just don't want to be a screw in the torrent of the times.
The only way to change their current situation is to become explorers.
Only by becoming explorers can they get things beyond their cognition.
If they are trapped on a small planet or a small star city, their limit is there.
And in the Federation, even if they become the richest man in a star city, what does it count as?
This is the sadness of the times.
It is also a value that can be used.
The role of the observatory itself is of course observation.
At this time, quite a number of observatories have been built, and they began to observe everything in the four-dimensional starry sky.
These observatories have one more dimension than the three-dimensional one. After some system improvements, they can observe the fourth dimension.
It should be so.
But at this time, the people in the observatory were very frightened.
Because they found that they could not observe the fourth dimension.
The fourth dimension disappeared.
They seemed to have returned to the three-dimensional world.
This is definitely not natural.
Because they could observe the fourth dimension before.
But now the fourth dimension is obscured.
This is a method, a weapon from other civilizations.
Not being able to see the fourth dimension is like a person always looking down at the ground.
When someone approaches, he cannot detect it.
This is fatal.
