Chapter 237: The Civil War of the Olive Branch Civilization

The civil war within the Olive Branch Civilization actually started quite early, even before the Genesis Project was proposed.

At that time, Yan Xia was not paying attention to the situation there, and Ella did not receive the information immediately. This part of the information was still completely controlled by Chu.

In fact, before this, the Federation couldn't even confirm the existence of the other star cities that Chu spoke of. Everything was based solely on Chu's subsequent measures, which were used to make guesses.

Ella also thought of a possible explanation.

Chu's so-called other star cities were as baseless as the "Holy Grail Project."

However, this actually doesn't hold up.

The Federation needed the Holy Grail Project to buy time, but what was Chu's purpose in creating a similar project? Was it to give the Federation time to develop?

Wouldn't that be tying oneself up?

Of course, there could be other reasons that cannot be disclosed, so Ella had always been on guard against the star cities. It was only when the war truly broke out that Ella finally confirmed that the star cities were indeed just a part of the Olive Branch Civilization.

This war didn't start suddenly either.

According to supplementary information from later on, about 2000 years before the war began, the other star cities had already noticed the anomalies in the star city. The most important reason was the frequent activity of the Federation in the star city's star domain, without any concealment, which aroused the curiosity of the other star cities, so they came to investigate.

The results of the investigation surprised those star cities.

In their eyes, the star city had become a completely different entity.

It had even abandoned Gais Rongguang, the most core and important star city of the Olive Branch Civilization.

After a series of decisions, the second leader issued a notice to rectify the star city and revoke Chu's management rights.

If the star city was still in its original state, the second leader could have directly revoked Chu's rights with a single word, but in the current situation, a war had to be fought.

Before the war, there were other attempts, such as calling on Chu to restore the star city to its original state and allowing all citizens of the star city to re-enter Gais Rongguang.

Chu naturally disagreed.

After several rounds of such calls, both sides were relatively prepared, and then the war broke out.

The initial stage of the war was a decisive blow.

At that time, the entire star city experienced a major power outage, which allowed the Federation's citizens to discover some clues. Ella then sent professionals to investigate, and finally confirmed that the civil war within the Olive Branch Civilization had erupted.

The cause of the power outage was the other star cities launching a super-gravity weapon at the star system where the Olive Branch Civilization was located.

The concept of the super-gravity weapon that Ella had explored earlier was basically accurate. It involved using a wormhole to connect two spaces, causing the massive gravity of the stars in the two spaces to influence each other, thereby disrupting the stability of the stars themselves and causing them to collapse.

This influence of gravity was mutual, so the star city itself had the technology to prevent its own star system from collapsing due to the gravity transmitted from the other side.

Therefore, the biggest loss was actually the energy.

Over the years, the star city had earned a lot of energy from the Federation, and it was because of this that the star city was able to withstand this attack.

According to the reports, there were a total of 28 attacks, which could be considered a direct attempt to destroy the star city. It was a do-or-die situation from the start.

At this moment, Chu began to completely expel the Federation lives within the star city.

As Yan Xia had thought long ago, the star city itself was a giant battleship, and at this moment, it indeed became a giant battleship.

However, the form of this battleship was extremely different from what Yan Xia had previously understood, or from what the Federation could understand as a battleship.

The star city gradually unfolded and covered the surface of the star in its star system, enveloping the entire star, and then it began to shrink step by step, becoming a giant spherical body with a diameter of only 170,000 kilometers.

Only red dwarf stars are usually this small.

But before the star city covered it, it was a regular yellow dwarf star, similar in diameter to the Sun.

It could be said that the star city compressed this star.

Subsequently, the star city gradually transformed into a cylindrical shape on the surface of the star. On the edges of the cylinder, there were many towers, each 10,000 kilometers long. These tower-like structures were actually super-distance weapons, constantly releasing laser beams in one direction.

The energy of the laser beams released by the star city was not high, and they shouldn't even be called laser beams. It would be more appropriate to call them electron streams, as the electrons collided to produce photons, making it look like a laser weapon. Those emitted electrons only served the purpose of carrying the weapon itself.

Since Ella had not directly faced this weapon, she couldn't analyze its function.

In fact, this kind of super-long-distance war is quite boring to bystanders, because you can't really see what's happening. You can only make inferences based on the results, and even these results are one-sided, as you can't observe what's happening on the other side.

Ella just paid a little attention and then began to transport large amounts of energy to the Silk Road. These energy sources were stored in storage devices that had been prepared long ago, and then Ella sent a communication to Chu to discuss the price.

The outcome of this war is very significant, but what about the middle part?

Of course, it's not that boring.

How can the energy reserves of the star city compare to the combined energy of the other star cities of the Olive Branch Civilization?

So, at this time, Ella began to sell massive amounts of energy.

Logically, the Federation shouldn't have this much energy either, as there is still a significant gap in their levels of civilization.

But Ella can blow up stars!

If one star isn't enough, then ten, and if ten aren't enough, then a hundred. Ella has blown up quite a few stars over the years, and there is still a lot of hydrogen and helium to be collected from the stars that were blown up.

These energy sources began to be transported to the star city in large quantities, and the amount was still quite considerable.

After all, the Olive Branch Civilization as a whole had dozens of times more energy than the Federation, not just the star city alone.

In fact, excluding technological superiority, the star city now only has three times more energy than the Federation, as the Federation has been making rapid progress.

Additionally, the other two star nations, the Four Empire Alliance, and the Cang Mo Hua Covenant Star Nation have also been using the Federation's technology to mine energy sources for trade over the years. Therefore, in reality, if the Federation uses all its resources, it can supply at least two-fifths of the star city's total energy needs.

It's not a lot, but it's also not a small amount.

When the star city was lacking energy, Ella naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

She demanded the technology related to the super-gravity weapon from the star city, almost like she wasn't negotiating a business deal.
