1 year later.
Yan Xia observed the traces of the Silk Civilization's warships.
The other side had tens of thousands of warships in a tight formation, as they were within the internal borders of their civilization's federation.
The initial plan of the Silk Civilization was to sacrifice these warships to inflict heavy losses on the entire border of the Federation.
However, they had not anticipated the Federation's possession of string information flow weapons, which were impossible to block. Nor had they expected Yan Xia to make such a resolute decision to destroy a star and billions of ordinary lives.
In their civilization, this was almost a taboo.
An officer would not have such authority, or no officer could bear such a cost.
But Yan Xia was an exception; he was not just "an officer" but the de facto leader of the entire civilization's federation.
These were all unexpected situations for the Silk Civilization, leading to their current passivity.
The Federation's warships were unable to catch up with the Silk Civilization's fleet.
But Yan Xia had made preparations in advance.
Several fleets had not yet converged, mainly to form an encirclement around the Silk Civilization's fleet.
Currently, these fleets form a semicircle, enveloping the Silk Civilization within, and the only direction they can escape to is the more central region of the Federation.
But that is the core area of the Federation's Tencang Five Star Domain. Going there means certain death for them.
Tencang Five has over 170 stars, and 60% of their energy is gathered in this star domain. Unlike ancient wars, which had extensive defenses on the borders, the interstellar civilization has most of its defenses in the core.
Why is there such a difference?
In ancient times, there were no bows and arrows that could directly shoot from outside the border into the imperial city.
But in interstellar wars, such a possibility exists.
To protect the core's safety, the core is the most heavily defended and attacking area.
In this star domain, there are numerous warships and an astonishingly dense defense system.
The Silk Civilization, upon discovering the surrounding fleets, seemed to have decided to go all out and destroy one or even more star systems. They head towards the Federation's interior.
"It's a useless struggle."
Yan Xia merely orders the fleets to tighten the encirclement.
After advancing for about 100 years, the Silk Civilization's fleet encounters difficulties.
Here, the entire starry sky is densely covered with various interstellar anchor points, which release massive gravitational waves, forming a defensive belt.
The Silk Civilization's fleet instantly feels like they are struggling to move.
Because there are just too many.
Attacking them would consume a tremendous amount of energy, and passive defense would require even more. At this moment, they are like water without a source, even if their warships have energy-producing engines, but these engines are no longer sufficient for a single warship.
They know that to fully charge the energy of their warships would require at least 20 to 25 years of energy release from a star. What kind of engine could produce such power within a small warship?
It usually takes 500 years or even more for a warship to charge itself.
This is why the Federation developed that charging method.
The Silk Civilization obviously has not developed in this aspect; otherwise, they would have completed the charging in the previous star system.
A civilization can be very comprehensive, but not every aspect is so well-developed. The more areas a civilization develops, the more strengths it has, but this also means more weaknesses.
And this is the weakness of the Silk Civilization.
Of course, the technology developed by the Federation is not a simple one. It seems to only increase the charging speed, but in fact, it involves many things. It took a very long time to research and develop, and it is not something that could be developed just by wanting to.
With a cliff in front and a tiger behind.
This can describe the state of the Silk Civilization's fleet at this time.
If the cliff in front was only 1 meter wide, they would have gritted their teeth and jumped over it.
But the cliff in front has no end in sight, and these blocking anchor points are used to weaken super long-distance weapons of the star system. Therefore, the thickness of the layout reaches 2 light-years, and the number is calculated in billions of billions.
The reason for using so much material to make these anchor points is that it has been nearly a thousand years.
The destruction and collapse of stars produce a large number of light elements, among which, in addition to those that can be used as energy, some heavier elements are utilized to manufacture defense equipment or build giant ships.
The Silk Civilization is unable to destroy such a thick defense layer.
If this was just a wall, it would not be scary, but the key is that this wall releases energy, so their attacks cannot sweep through, and the energy will be weakened in this "wall." Even terrifying star-level weapons cannot cross 1 light-year distance in this "wall."
Even if 1 light-year is destroyed, the other anchor points around will gather and block the way.
This is an endless quagmire.
The Silk Civilization can only grit their teeth and turn to break through in a chosen direction.
Both sides begin their first head-on battle.
Hundreds of thousands of the Federation's biological warships charge forward relentlessly, attacking the Silk Civilization's warships with fury.
Yan Xia does not want to lose too many warships, so he decides to release a weapon that can only be effective at close range, as the things it can affect are too scary.
"Release it!"
The Federation's biological warships do not rush to the front of the Silk Civilization's warships, but the latter p rush like hungry tigers.
And when they reach a certain distance, all the warships undergo a terrifying change.
They shrink instantly!
It is as if they have become compressed towels.
The photoelectric effect can make the electrons in a substance be taken out of the atomic nucleus. Based on this simple physical effect, a scholar of the Federation wondered how to make the substance produce destructive changes without taking away the electrons.
This weapon is thus born.
It is called the Strong Electric Nuclear Compression Weapon.
Strong force usually only binds the atomic nucleus, and electrons are bound within the atom, revolving around the atomic nucleus due to Coulomb force or electrostatic force.
This weapon first uses electrostatic force to make the electrons enter the transition state. Generally, the transition of electrons is affected by rules and appears on specific energy level orbits, but this technology makes the electrons transition to the surface of the atomic nucleus.
In the experiment, this transition is very unstable, and the electrons will escape or reappear on specific orbits in about 0.0004 seconds due to not being on the orbit.
At this time, the scholar chooses to use strong force to bind the electrons to the surface of the atomic nucleus, making all the electrons static and waiting on the surface of the atomic nucleus. This also requires a terrifying external force to complete, which requires the use of dark matter repulsion.
By forcefully compressing an atom to a very small size, and doing the same to all atoms, the arrangement of atoms within a substance will be disrupted and destroyed, and the interval between atoms will become smaller.
So, on a macroscopic level, the warship shrinks.
Not only does it shrink, but despite the Strong Electric Nuclear Compression Weapon being extremely energy-consuming, the actual effect time is less than 1 minute. The affected substance is almost unable to restore its original state, which will cause permanent damage to the warship.
Not only the warship but also the life within it.
So, at this moment, a large number of the Silk Civilization's warships that rush into the killing range of the Strong Electric Nuclear Compression Weapon instantly lose their combat effectiveness. This number is about 50,000, and it is still because the Silk Civilization's warships are too fast and the fleet is too compact. If the speed was slower, the loss would be smaller.
The threat of the remaining warships has been greatly reduced.
In the end, Yan Xia issues a destruction order, not allowing a single Silk Civilization warship to survive, and he even gives up the opportunity to capture these warships.
After this battlefield ends.
Another battlefield has just begun.
The battlefield over there is the opposite of this one.
