Chapter 61: Technological Overwhelm
Fleet Command Room.
[Warning! Warning!]
[Detecting high energy fluctuations!]
[Suspected enemy preparing Gamma-ray burst strike!]
The people who were still analyzing data immediately heard the warning given by the strong artificial intelligence.
"Strike? How did the enemy lock onto us?"
They were very confused. Logically, they were well hidden and shouldn't have been attacked first.
"No need to guess. This kind of energy fluctuation is undoubtedly an indiscriminate strike. The enemy wants to force us to reveal our true form so they can attack us."
Zhuo Yuanming said calmly.
Others understood, but the cost of this kind of strike was too high, right? Did the enemy want to drain all the energy of their civilization?
"High Priest, should we counterattack?"
Everyone asked. What they could do now was either defend against the strike or launch a pre-emptive strike to stop them from attacking.
Zhuo Yuanming's eyes flickered as if he thought of another method: "Prepare to enter Four-dimensional space."
"This..."
Everyone didn't expect the High Priest to be so cautious, but this was also a good method. Only by hiding in the dark could they bring infinite fear to the enemy and launch unexpected attacks.
"Yes!"
Everyone started operating.
[Dimension Dimension Up preparation in progress...]
[Energy extraction... Computing power extraction...]
[Space folding....]
[It is estimated that all objects in this area will be four-dimensionalized within ten seconds...]
[10...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1]
[Dimension Dimension Up!]
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, all fleets disappeared from this Three-dimensional Universe.
After a long time, that metal planet erupted with a terrifying Gamma-ray burst, indiscriminately striking all space within one light-year.
The dazzling strong light made the entire Universe flicker.
Space rippled in waves.
How many innocent civilizations instantly died under this strike, like ants on the roadside casually stepped on and ignored.
The Gamma-ray burst lasted for more than ten seconds, but these ten seconds felt as long as more than ten years.
The Human Race, located in Four-dimensional space, watched quietly. Everything in Three-dimensional space became completely visible in their eyes.
They could freely retrieve events that occurred in this space at any time period.
Nothing had any secrets.
...
"Is there any anomaly in the nearby space?"
"Analyze the data immediately!"
"Report! No anomaly found!"
As soon as the analysis results came out, the metal people looked at each other, not understanding the situation.
"Could it be that the enemy died under our Gamma-ray burst strike?"
A simple metal person spoke.
Other metal people looked at it like an idiot: "The enemy's Technology level cannot be this low. They must have used Technology methods we don't know or haven't mastered."
"What should we do next? The enemy has already mastered all our data information. If we wait for death, we will definitely be subjected to continuous targeted attacks."
The Chief metal person remained silent. This was the first time they had encountered this situation. Once Technology lagged behind even a little, they could only passively take a beating.
A common analogy is that if the enemy's range is one hundred meters, even if our attack distance is 99.9 meters, we can do nothing against them.
A miss is as good as a mile!
"Let's escape, abandon this star system, and don't engage in pointless conflict with the enemy."
The Chief said.
This was the only way at present. There was no benefit in fighting the enemy. They were developing well here and didn't know when they were targeted by these troublesome fellows.
"Yes!"
All the metal people also felt it made sense. If I can't beat them, can't I escape?
"I will communicate with the Living Gold."
The Chief's consciousness began to connect with the planet's consciousness.
That's right, this metal planet was also a life form. This was truly a wonder of the world. They didn't know how this sphere mutated.
After a long time, the Chief slowly opened his eyes and said: "Prepare to merge into the planet, enable escape mode. My Lord also agreed with my decision. There is no meaning in fighting the enemy."
Thus, the order was issued, and all the metal people began the fusion process.
One by one, the metal people turned into puddles like molten iron, and were gradually absorbed by the planet.
After all the metal people were completely integrated, the planet directly began to distort space to prepare for superluminal escape.
This planet... let's just call it sphere from now on...
This sphere could utilize all the Technology of the metal civilization. Once the warp drive was used, it was a super large superluminal spaceship itself.
Four-dimensional space.
"High Priest, the enemy is preparing to withdraw."
In the Four-dimensional state, the Human Race had already detected their movements.
Zhuo Yuanming looked at the metal planet and sneered: "Playing space Technology in front of us? Utterly ridiculous! Seal off space!"
"Yes!"
Everyone started operating, preparing for cross-dimensional targeting. This was the advantage of being unreasonable. You couldn't hit me, but I could easily hit you, and you couldn't avoid it.
It's like a person in Three-dimensional space can freely pick up a brush and kill the matchstick figures on paper, while the other party cannot cause even the slightest damage to you no matter how they attack.
Being separated by a dimension is like a heavenly punishment!
In an instant, the Human Race's strike arrived.
The space around the metal planet was instantly sealed off.
No matter how the planet-sized warp drive bent time and space, it could not cause the slightest wrinkle in space.
Without space wrinkles, let alone superluminal speed, you can't even move a little distance.
In the Three-dimensional state, you are standing still.
After the sphere discovered that the warp drive was ineffective, it immediately changed its escape method.
A huge opening appeared on the planet, and enormous energy sprayed out, attempting to escape quickly by thrust.
"Activate Different Space sealing!"
"Fold all the surrounding space of the target, create countless parallel time and space, and trap it!"
Zhuo Yuanming ordered.
"Yes!"
"Different Space formed! Infinitely extend the distance to form a spatial loop!"
When this strike was implemented, the sphere had not yet realized it was trapped.
In its perception, it was still flying rapidly, constantly moving away from the original space.
The Human Race just watched the show quietly in Four-dimensional space. They wanted to see how long that sphere would fly.
There is no concept of time in Four-dimensional space.
After an unknown amount of time, the sphere finally stopped.
The Human Race also withdrew the Different Space sealing.
One by one, the metal people began to re-manifest their bodies.
"Have we escaped them...?"
The metal people continuously reshaped their bodies and surveyed the surrounding environment.
"This is bad, Chief!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Why the fuss? Did the enemy catch up?"
The Chief frowned.
"No... not... I don't know if the enemy caught up, but the data shows we are still in the original star system!"
As soon as these words came out, all the metal people were shocked.
The Chief was even more frightened, breaking out in a cold sweat. He quickly communicated with the planet's consciousness to inquire about the situation.
But the answer he received was that it had led the entire civilization to fly several star systems away, and it was impossible to still be in the original star system.
The metal people thought the data was wrong, but when they observed the star of this star system, they were all dumbfounded.
"It's still the original star!!!"
Endless fear enveloped the hearts of everyone.
