Chapter 211: The Federation's Remote Front, Research and Speculation on Super-Gravitational Weapons

In a star system located less than 100 light-years from the Orion Nebula, some equipment was operating independently.

The controller here was also a Machine God, and its computational power was not as high as the Federation's Machine God, but it was sufficient.

Its daily task was singular.

Production!

Produce robots, then let the robots produce weapons, tirelessly, like this for over ten thousand years.

The area under its control was actually much larger than this single star system, but it dared not stay in the more distant regions, only sending ships to collect resources.

In this star system, there were three planets and a dense asteroid belt, and in the asteroid belt, there were 13 dwarf planets. These 13 dwarf planets were only covered with a thin layer of rock on the surface, but their interiors were battleships.

13 giant ships?

No, the industrial level here was far from reaching the level of the Federation. However, to make up for this, the Federation specifically designed "Modular Battleships."

The battleships could be assembled to form a perfect sphere or be separated as independent battleships.

Each battleship was about 150,000 meters in size, not too large but not small either.

There were 1,430 modular battleships here, along with some other smaller battleships. These smaller battleships, typically under 100,000 meters, disguised themselves as asteroids, and there were more of them, totaling 5,028.

In total, there were 6,500 battleships, a number that seemed a bit small, but sufficient as a surprise force.

Even these battleships themselves were not suitable for combat. Their weapon systems were too poor, but they had seemingly bloated power systems that provided them with immense power, allowing them to reach speeds exceeding 38,000 km/s.

This was the current limit of the Federation's technology.

"Time's up. All units, cease all production activities, inspect battleship safety, and launch the battleships to leave the star system in 10 minutes."

The Machine God's command was transmitted to every robot, and they stopped their work and began to enter the interiors of the battleships.

The battleships launched 10 minutes later.

With the speed of these battleships, it would take three years to fly from the interior of the star system to its edge and into deep space.

If one were to look at a star map, it would be seen that the deep space they were currently in was not at any point between the Federation and the Orion Nebula. Instead, their location was behind the Orion Nebula.

Or, to put it another way, it was behind the corner formed by the Federation and Star City.

This place was very spacious and located in a corner that went unnoticed.

The distance from the Orion Nebula was only about 800 years, which was considered extremely short in the development period of any advanced civilization, but now it seemed longer due to the war between the Federation and the Silkmind.

Could the Federation's border hold for 800 years?

Unknown!

Yan Xia could orchestrate all of this. He could give up many things to win this victory.

The source of victory was not the terror of those 6,000 battleships but the fact that the technology used by those 6,000 battleships was unconventional, a technology that Yan Xia had obtained from the Hundred-Eyed Star, the technology of the Silkmind.

Unconventional technology, an unexpected direction.

What would happen if all of this was brought together?

The emergence of the third Level 2 civilization.

For the Silkmind, this was undoubtedly a signal that would terrify them.

In the vastness of deep space, spanning thousands of light-years, there was one Level 2 civilization, and the other three chose to attack them almost simultaneously during the same millennium, creating a three-front war. They would be terrified by this.

And Yan Xia wanted this terror.

For this reason, he had already sent an envoy to persuade Chu to launch the super-gravitational weapon towards the Silkmind once more.

As the Federation developed, Yan Xia continued to study and research the super-gravitational weapon possessed by the Olive Branch civilization.

If gravity's propagation was limited by speed, how did the Olive Branch civilization achieve superluminal propagation of gravity? This was the problem that had troubled Yan Xia during his time in Star City.

However, as the Federation's technology advanced, he gradually understood that the super-gravitational weapon possessed by the Olive Branch civilization itself achieved the wormhole effect in higher dimensions, allowing it to instantly traverse thousands of light-years.

That enormous cannon was not a cannon barrel but a positioning device. The real attack came from the shadows, within a stable Planck-mass black hole created by the Olive Branch civilization.

The essence of the super-gravitational weapon was to harness the universe's inexplicable force—black holes.

By analyzing the recorded data of the super-gravitational weapon, Yan Xia concluded that the Olive Branch civilization's super-gravitational weapon established super-long-distance black hole connections with the aid of auxiliary devices, using higher dimensions to connect wormholes between two spaces, propagating the enormous gravity of Star City itself. What would happen if a sudden gravitational source of equal mass appeared within or even around a star?

Collapse!

This was the true nature of the super-gravitational weapon.

Initially, Yan Xia thought that the 'super' in super-gravitational weapon referred to supersymmetry, but after further research, it turned out to be superspace or higher dimensions.

The super-gravitational weapon also had some drawbacks. For example, since gravity is mutual, to resist the enormous gravity transmitted from the opposing star, Star City needed to consume a vast amount of energy to keep the entire city in a state of negative mass, repelling the opposing star's gravity.

There were also some things that Yan Xia did not know.

For instance, how did they establish super-long-distance black hole connections?

Even if you could connect two black holes, how could you create a black hole in another location?

These doubts limited the Federation's ability to follow in the footsteps of the Olive Branch civilization in terms of gravity and higher dimensions.

Every civilization was like a perfect wooden barrel, with some parts longer and others shorter. Clearly, the super-gravitational weapon was the longer plank of the Olive Branch civilization.

Yan Xia was deeply apprehensive.

This request for the Olive Branch civilization to launch the weapon was not necessarily just to scare the Silkmind; there was also a certain factor that Yan Xia needed to collect more information about the super-gravitational weapon.

All of the above was based on speculation, as the data used was limited. This time, the nature of the Olive Branch civilization's super-gravitational weapon would be confirmed.

Study it, and be prepared for it.

After the reconciliation with Chu, the Federation still did not take the Olive Branch civilization lightly. There had never been stable allies between civilizations; there was only control and plunder.

In fact, when Yan Xia was at the front line, Ella had shifted much of her attention to the Olive Branch civilization.

Not long after these 6,000 battleships were launched, Yan Xia also began to face the threat of the 300,000 Silkmind battleships. This was a major battle that would determine the entire war and whether the Federation could hold on for those "short" 800 years.

Even before reaching the battlefield, Yan Xia had already received information about the war from the battleships.
