Chapter 184: All-Out Offensive, the Enigmatic Cocoon

Super-Hedge Matter Transfer is a matter transmission technology based on laser transmission.

The original laser transmission involves converting matter into energy and transmitting it to specific equipment, which is then restored through specialized devices.

This made laser transmission less flexible.

Therefore, after more than 2,000 years of research and development based on a concept proposed by a scholar within the Federation, Yan Xia created the Super-Hedge Matter Transfer technology.

It is not limited to the two ends of a line but allows matter to be reconstructed at any point along the line.

Yan Xia instructed Ella to adjust the Super-Hedge Matter Transfer equipment and provided her with the coordinates of the other Super-Hedge Matter Transfer device that Luliang had sent him. He asked Ella to calculate the subsequent operating route and final coordinates of the device.

Once the preparations were complete, Yan Xia saw a giant ring light up in the depths of space.

The outer diameter of the ring was 1,700 kilometers, and the inner diameter was 400 kilometers, with a surface area of 2.27 million square kilometers on one side. If placed on Earth, it could easily cover an entire medium-sized country.

Its overall shape was not that of a disc but rather a cone, with the base facing Yan Xia and the tip, an energy-emitting turret, pointing outward towards the galaxy.

A 100,000-meter-class battleship was sent into the Super-Hedge Matter Transfer device.

Soon, the 100,000-meter-class battleship turned into a beam of light.

Of course, Yan Xia, along with any other life forms or machinery, could not be captured by the Super-Hedge Matter Transfer device because the beam it emitted was extremely concentrated, ensuring that within 100 light-years, no more than 0.1% of the information would be lost. In other words, this beam would hardly scatter within 100 light-years.

About seven years later.

Luliang successfully dragged the Silkmind into a protracted war.

Over the years, they had discovered many attempts by the Silkmind's battleships to approach them, but fortunately, they were all blocked by their massive fleet and the losses of the Zerg.

This further convinced them of their judgment that the Silkmind must possess powerful close-range weapons (within 100 Tianqi units).

"It's almost the scheduled time. Let's launch an all-out offensive."

Luliang issued the command.

After such a long period of development, the Federation, with its enhanced individual capabilities, had eliminated the position of the deputy, which was often a source of disagreement or a role for developing alternative strategies.

Now, all commands for the Federation fleet were highly efficient.

Luliang himself was not a planner but a decision-maker, and most of the plans were formulated by the ship's advisors, while the ship captains controlled the details of the plans.

When Luliang gave this order, it meant that a large amount of preliminary work had already been completed.

The all-out offensive had long been ready to launch.

The remaining 18,000 biological battleships of the Federation, carrying over 4 billion kilometer-class Zerg units, charged towards the enemy, and all the biological battleships and Zerg units transformed their sequences during the attack.

They shifted from an auxiliary or defensive posture to an offensive formation.

The gravitational wave weapons were activated, and countless gravitational wave ripples collided, forming a series of millions of small black holes that swept towards the Silkmind's battleships.

Why did Luliang choose to attack at this time?

Because attacking is the best defense!

You can't predict what the enemy will do next, so you force them to react in the way you want them to.

This puts you in control of the rhythm.

Of course, this method is completely suicidal in conventional combat, and the reason Luliang is doing this now is to provide cover for the Super-Hedge Matter Transfer.

And there's another purpose.

Luliang stood in a corner, anxiously receiving information from the battlefield.

They were close enough!

If the Silkmind possessed close-range weapons, they would surely use them at this moment because they could also detect that the fleet Luliang had sent out was the last combat power of the Tianlian Fleet.

If they didn't react now, when would they?

"The Silkmind may have doubts about why I launched an all-out offensive at this time. This is the only concern that would make them hesitate to take action."

Luliang was gambling.

He was betting that the Silkmind would make a move.

He was a decision-maker and a reincarnator, having experienced countless deaths through more than 20,000 reincarnations.

He had no psychological burden about sending soldiers to their deaths, as this was not a gentle game but a real battlefield. On the battlefield, soldiers must always face the possibility of death.

Sometimes these deaths were caused by the enemy's decisions, and sometimes by their own side's decisions.

The difference is that soldiers killed by the enemy's decisions have made little contribution, and their only role is to deplete the enemy's ammunition.

The truly effective deaths have always been caused by their own side's decisions, whether on ancient battlefields or in these high-tech interstellar battlefields.

Only when the upper echelons make decisions and balance the losses and rewards can the casualties be considered correct.

If it were the soldiers below, hearing this, they would probably want to say, "Go to hell with your correct losses!"

But war is so cruel.

If you want to ensure that everyone survives, then it's not a war but a game of make-believe. Once the other side gets serious and becomes a killer, they can overturn this childish fantasy game at any time.

A real war is one in which every soldier on the battlefield dies with purpose.

This is what Luliang is doing.

At this moment, all the soldiers on the dispatched battleships will be exchanged for intelligence about the Silkmind's close-range weapons and the opportunity for Super-Hedge Matter Transfer.

The only consolation is that, with the advancement of technology, Zerg units have replaced the need for fighter jets.

Therefore, each battleship does not require hundreds of thousands or millions of soldiers, and only a few thousand are needed.

However...

This is still a loss of tens of millions of lives.

Luliang forced himself not to think about this, as he had sacrificed the lives of these soldiers, making him a terrible executioner.

However, Luliang eventually got what he wanted.

It was a Silkmind thread that tore through space.

During the observation, each thread became an astonishing energy source, and this energy did not come from within but from outside.

Those threads absorbed energy and wrapped it around themselves instead of storing it inside the battleship.

The energy-rich threads began to vibrate.

"Those are strings..."

Luliang realized this terrifying fact.

The threads were the Silkmind's imitation of strings in the macroscopic world, based on the Planck scale.

Those lines were energy, and they absorbed energy, producing more energy through vibration. The massive energy was converted into a vast amount of matter within the threads.

This matter was not used directly for attack but to disrupt gravity, which in turn disrupted dark matter, forcing the ubiquitous dark matter in the universe to undergo another level of conversion and become Majorana fermions that annihilated each other.

In this way, these threads could amplify the original energy by 300 times, and at this moment, a terrifying energy cluster burst forth.

First, it contracted inward, and then from the center, it continuously expanded in one direction, like paint being poured into pure water from a height.

The spreading energy connected the threads, forming a giant cocoon that enveloped the Federation's fleet and the Zerg units.

And then—it tightened.
