Chapter 121: Civil War, Split, and Departure from the Star City

External pressure is needed to exacerbate internal conflicts.

Ella initiated this war, and the core purpose was to create this pressure.

The false starry sky war will collapse, and the Star City will surely discover that the trigger it released did not hit its target.

The energy consumption of the trigger is enormous; each activation can release energy equivalent to the total production energy of 10,000 times the entire Civilization Federation.

The massive energy consumption, coupled with the initial defeat in the first battle, becomes the source of internal structural collapse and chaos.

The original Star City would have been shaken by this, but now, the Star City is like a huge barrel of explosives.

The remnants of the defeated fleet have not yet returned to the Star City, and the Shared Consciousness Cluster has already observed this information.

"Who made this foolish decision?"

"They didn't even investigate the possibility of creating a field of vision obstruction on the Universe Silk Road of the Civilization Federation."

"You idiots, this should have been resolved when the suggestion was made."

Anger spreads among the Shared Consciousness Cluster, and the individuals who made this decision are in the minority.

Hearing these words naturally makes them even angrier.

They immediately respond without any courtesy.

"We proposed a plan and are still improving it. What about you? Are you all just a bunch of idiots who can't think?"

"These things should be done by you, you bloodsuckers living off the glory of Gauss."

The Manager exists to mediate these conflicts.

However, the new Manager, Root, cannot interfere with the Shared Consciousness Cluster. As expected, it is currently in a power vacuum, and as previously predicted, it has not yet completely detached from the Shared Consciousness Cluster.

When it wants to correct mistakes, the Shared Consciousness Cluster, which has already formed a class structure, will respond rudely without any courtesy, and no one will listen.

The Manager's authority is at an all-time low.

The Star City continues on a path of deterioration.

Of course, they also try to reconcile the conflicts, but the authority of the mediators is not as great as the conflicts between the two parties, leading to a situation where no individual will listen to the mediators.

Moreover, as more conflicts arise, these original mediators may also become entangled in the difficulties of the conflicts.

This is a cycle, a vortex.

All the loopholes of social conflicts are extended to the Star City, almost reaching a pathological scale.

There are as many Hamlets as there are people, so how can 800 billion individuals be integrated?

Not to mention the pseudo-shared consciousness cluster of the Olive Branch Civilization, even if Ella were to get involved, the result would be a computer smoking and crashing.

The calculations required are too vast, even more difficult than creating a simulated universe.

This was foreseeable.

The only way to resolve this conflict is to press the restart button for the Shared Consciousness Cluster.

Otherwise, a true third leader must be born to lead the Star City to complete another revolution.

And now, no one can stop the crisis of the Star City's collapse.

Ella never expected the collapse of the Star City to come so quickly; it still needs a long wait.

It already knows about Yan Xia's situation, and perhaps by the time it reaches the Star City, Yan Xia will be facing death.

But it still has to wait.

It needs to wait for the time to develop the conflict. If it reaches the Star City now, the Star City will temporarily suppress the conflict and resolve it.

That is a Star City, and it is also a battleship.

At this moment, the Civilization Federation is incredibly vulnerable before it, like a grasshopper trying to block a 100-meter-per-second meteor.

...

Another 300 days pass.

The internal conflicts in the Star City continue to intensify, and civil war breaks out.

This civil war divides the Star City into five parts, turning it into five small Star Cities orbiting the star on different trajectories.

In the first 50 days of the internal war within the Olive Branch Civilization, the number of lost battleships has already reached 1,600, which can be described as a devastating loss.

These battleships are all part of the Star City.

The Star City itself is composed of countless molecular-level mechanical combinations, and they can transform into any form.

However, the battleship's body requires energy and many high-composite structures and high-strength materials that make up the Star City.

Therefore, the number of battleships in the Star City is limited, and 1,600 is already a large number.

After another 70 days.

Another unprecedented civil war breaks out. This time, Ella sees an opportunity.

She personally controls a battleship and enters the star system where the Star City is located. This battleship is very small, only a kilometer-class battleship, and it is even smaller than the original Hope.

However, it carries the most advanced stealth technology, which combines the Wall. It uses magnetic fields to affect the medium and refracts light through the medium. These energies are confined within a certain range and blend into the cosmic microwave background, making it difficult to detect.

In fact, using gravity is more effective in bending light, but gravity has no boundaries and cannot be confined to a very small area. Or, to put it another way, confining gravity requires an enormous amount of energy, which the Civilization Federation cannot do. Therefore, using gravity carries a higher risk.

Ella bypasses the satellites of the Olive Branch Civilization, which were originally intended for warning and deterrence and not for detection.

However, things may not go as smoothly as planned. The Star City uses gravity as an energy source and has installed a large number of gravity sensor arrays.

According to the law of universal gravitation, gravity is everywhere. A kilometer-class spaceship is already large, with a mass of hundreds of millions of tons, and creating a gravity detector is as obvious as a mouse crawling on a white table.

Countless laser attacks arrive in an instant.

Advanced civilizations still use laser weapons because they are inexpensive and practical.

Photons are only directly affected by gravity, or to put it another way, they are affected by the space distortion caused by gravity. Any other form of defense is essentially an energy collision, and lasers are very effective in wars between powerful civilizations and weaker ones.

At this moment, Ella's battleship is hit and the terrifying energy reaches the threshold of the Wall, directly shattering it. The remaining energy waves hit the battleship, causing it to shatter into pieces.

There is no resistance.

It's like facing an absolute power where no technique or defense is of any use.

However, Ella has already calculated this.

After the battleship collapses, it splits into countless fragments, one of which is only a few dozen meters long. It travels at a speed of 11.5 km/s towards a Star City.

It takes 175 days to cross 63.4 billion kilometers to reach a Star City.

It uses a slightly deflected orbit, calculated in millimeters, to impact the Star City's defense system, and then it turns into a pool of liquid that extends outward.

These liquids condense into a thin line, like a fishing line, and enter the Star City at the third cosmic velocity. After extending for 4.9 billion kilometers, it finally touches a stiff and cold body.

It coils around the body and then rolls it back.

It completes everything in just 19 days.

The fragments of the body, wrapped in the debris of the Star City's defense barrier, fall towards the star, unnoticed by any life form.
