Chapter 869: Xingguo disappears and is surrounded

Electron clouds are a means of isolating long-distance signals, and are generally used to block star cities or planets.

It would be terrible to seal off an entire star system.

The electron cloud consists of cubes of signal jamming machines the size of a fingernail, usually 1cm on a side and about 1 meter apart.

Blockade of a star city requires the creation of more than 1 billion interference units.

How many do we need for a star system?

Even if only an area with a diameter of 100 astronomical units is blocked, at least 220 billion trillion interference units are needed.

To cover this area with a maximum diameter of 100 light-years, a number is required that is so huge that Giotto could not imagine it. Even if each unit only weighs 10g, the huge electron cloud they see now is definitely equivalent to several The sum of the masses of ten stars.

"It took decades to complete. How did you do it?"

Giotto thought deeply.

He ordered the fleet to begin its circumnavigation.

Slowing down is definitely impossible, and it can only wander outside the electron cloud.

About 7 years later.

The detector comes into contact with a cloud of electrons.

The electron clouds are indeed just ordinary electron clouds and are not aggressive. Even detectors can easily smash these small things.

Its interference is often accomplished by utilizing excellent thickness.

Electron clouds can even interfere with the transmission of tachyon communications.

Lower, middle, and upper star nations are definitely not only different in size, but also in technological level.

The technological level of upper-level star nations is actually close to that of the Federation and can reach level 2.4. The technological level of lower- and middle-level star nations generally hovers around level 2.3.

Interfering with tachyon communication is actually not a very high-end technology. Tachyon information transmission is the first technology in human civilization to boast dimensions.

What is used is to simply influence the movement of higher-dimensional particles from a more microscopic world. These particles exist in at least ten-dimensional spaces. The theory demonstrated by tachyon communication is a space theory.

Regardless of whether it is a low dimension or a high dimension, they are actually in the same space, but these spaces are in a superposition state.

A space theory explains the phenomenon that tachyons can still be captured after being launched, and has also given rise to the technology of tachyon information interception. After continuous development, the maturity of this technology is even higher than that of tachyon communication itself.

The interception of tachyons does not need to carry specific information, so it is relatively simple.

The electron cloud can use technology similar to tachyon communication devices to disturb particles in high-dimensional space, thereby intercepting tachyons carrying information, thus achieving the purpose of interference.

This thing is used very frequently even within the federation.

It is a very practical device that does not require high-end technology to complete.

Of course, its most extensive space is on the battlefield.

The detector lost contact after entering the electron cloud.

But it doesn't matter.

The detector doesn't stay in the electron cloud for long.

It will start filming and taking pictures after entering the interior. Each detector has a different execution time. To ensure that information can be obtained, the detector with the shortest stay time will only pause for 10 minutes.

10 minutes later.

The detector emerged from the electron cloud.

This is one of the vulnerabilities of the electronic cloud.

But on the actual battlefield, the information conveyed by this kind of detector is extremely limited.

Because most of them act on star cities and planets, no matter whether the detector enters from the outside or the detector comes out from the inside, there will be other interception methods. The strength of the battlefield usually wrapped in the electron cloud is quite different, and the war can be resolved within 20 years at most.

This is actually a typical auxiliary war tool. Basically no one has made it so big, at least Giotto has never heard of it.

More than 6 years later, the message came back.

Giotto sat with other fleet officials for a meeting.

He learned this from Yan Xia. Holding as many meetings as possible can prevent him from making wrong decisions.

In a virtual meeting room.

Dudley opened the message.

A video of more than 9 minutes began to play.

Everyone present looked from solemn to horrified.

Because there is nothing in the video.

Of course it's not all dark or blank, so they think it's nothing but being disturbed.

But the video was full of stars, but when compared with the star map in their memory, some of the stars disappeared.

Those very close starlights.

Stars are stars, and the disappearance of starlight means the disappearance of stars.

"Could there be electron clouds inside, interfering with the star's light?"

Commander Siyang of the Second Fleet felt his scalp tingle, and his tone of voice was very weak, proving that he himself could not believe what he was saying.

Because there is no need.

"It's really crazy to use stars to create so much electronic waste."

"Where are the people inside? Where are the people from Yanli Independent Star Kingdom?"

Si Yabihei of the Fourth Fleet's entire face turned dark.

A place without stars would certainly not be enough to support the survival of so many people.

In fact, such examples have not never happened in Star Kingdom. Although most people will abide by morality, this does not mean that darkness is far away from human civilization.

Especially here in Star Kingdom, many lives don't take other lives seriously at all.

It is common for those interstellar pirates to directly destroy a star city after entering it and massacre billions of people.

Huaana once encountered similar incidents.

There are fewer Star Kingdoms, but not none.

There is no difference between billions and hundreds of billions or trillions of people.

Giotto's face remained gloomy.

After the entire meeting lasted several hours, the second message came.

Du Li gritted his teeth and played the second video. This video was naturally longer and had many more pictures.

The video keeps speeding up, no different from the first video.

Pictures reveal more information, because pictures not only capture simple visible light information, but also invisible light, various types of radiation, gravity, and more.

In these images, they still saw no trace of stars.

The answer is already certain.

The entire Yanli Independent Star Kingdom was destroyed, and every detail was destroyed, including the star city, the planets, and the stars.

As for what exactly happened, there is no way of knowing.

"The Yanli Independent Star Kingdom has been destroyed, so should we continue to fight?"

"There is no energy supply around here!"

The star is gone, which means it cannot be charged, and the enemy may have already prepared abundant energy.

If they attack now, they are simply throwing themselves into a trap.

Everyone looked at Giotto, hoping that Giotto would give him a specific answer.

The first major war encountered such a difficult problem, and Giotto also had a headache.

In his heart, he was still analyzing the necessity of the enemy doing this.

Suddenly he asked: "Did the Yanli Independent Star Kingdom disappear 60 years ago?"

"Let me be clear, was it discovered 60 years ago that it disappeared, or was it calculated 60 years ago?"

Du Li looked at him doubtfully, not knowing why Giotto asked this, but he still nodded and corrected Giotto.

"It was calculated. To be precise, it was 73 years ago."

After getting the answer, Giotto fell into deep thought.

According to calculations, the disappearance of the Yanli Independent Star Kingdom actually happened after they launched the war. This is definitely not a coincidence.

"Our fleet is not an evasive warship and our flights will certainly be observed."

"We don't even need detectors, just use telescopes from some star systems to observe our movements. After all, we can't hide."

The universe is an endless platform grassland with no hiding places at all, which is why evasive spaceships and battleships are so powerful.

"So the enemy took action after discovering our movements. They have been preparing for our arrival here."

Giotto suddenly broke into a cold sweat when he thought of this.

"The electron cloud is so huge that it can even emit false optical information. So have we already broken into the electron cloud?"

His question made the other officers sit still.

"Is this an ambush?"

"Director, don't make such a joke. The electron cloud we see now is huge enough."

"But... those are hundreds of stars!"

Hundreds of stars disappeared.

According to the current observed results, they may have been turned into electron clouds.

The enemy has observed such a huge fleet. If the entire Level 2 fleet can be ambushed and destroyed, it will be a huge blow to the Rusty Star Nation.

The electron cloud that was created to destroy the Yanli Independent Star Kingdom was used to do this kind of thing, which is very cost-effective for the enemy!

So officers gave orders directly in the virtual conference room.

"Measure the surroundings immediately."

After all, the electron cloud is not a precise structure. If you analyze it carefully, you can still analyze some deviations.

In particular, the total mass of the electron cloud is too terrifying, and the gravity measurement will be more accurate.

After the calculation results were posted, everyone couldn't sit still.

"Gravity is not normal."

"There are a few places where the light is off and missing."

"Fake, everything we're seeing right now is fake."

"The radius of the cavity created by the entire electron cloud is almost 170 astronomical units."

"The enemy is ready to attack!"

Giotto noticed that the officers in the conference room were extremely flustered, and he couldn't help feeling flustered himself.

In this case, it would probably be better to cry.
