Chapter 199 Misunderstandings and Accidents, Negative Energy Long-Range Gravitational Field Weapons
11 years ago, Yan Xia received the coordinate information of the Silk Civilization transmitted back from 10 fleets.
Because he didn't know what happened over there, he analyzed that the coordinates might be for him to locate and use long-range weapons to let them break through.
But there was no time marked on it, which was a problem.
Yan Xia wanted to contact them, but then he didn't contact them.
Why?
At this time, the 10 fleets no longer had stars as energy stations to recharge, and their energy was very precious.
At this time, asking again, and then letting the fleet consume energy to reply to the information would be consuming the lifeline of the fleet.
Only the coordinates should be because those fleets don't want to consume energy.
Yan Xia judged that time is not important, because his order is to let those fleets gather in that place, and after gathering, the fleet will definitely be besieged, so there will be no major changes in their coordinates and the Silk Civilization fleet.
Even if the Silk Civilization wants to change, the Federation Fleet will not move.
This is just his guess, which is actually wrong.
There is no time only because it was the Federation that proposed to launch weapons, and the meeting and location were also determined by Yan Xia, so the fleet believed that Yan Xia had launched weapons when transmitting information.
Everything was a misunderstanding.
The fleet had been waiting for a reply, they were looking forward to it all the time, but they had never discovered that it was a deception.
…
Yan Xia urgently called for the new weapon after getting the coordinates.
This weapon is an extremely powerful and complex weapon. The original estimated preparation time was about 1 year, but because the weapon itself was used for the first time, many problems occurred and the time was extended to the fourth year.
This was a major mistake.
Yan Xia had been receiving various reports on the Kunlun, which made him look black.
But there was no way, the failure rate of high-tech equipment was high.
Other weapons should have been activated immediately at this time, but each ultra-long-range weapon uses the energy of one or even several stars. It is conceivable that it would take more than half a year or even a year to prepare to replace the weapon, which was a waste of time.
However, I didn't expect that the new weapon broke down for the first time, the second time, the third time...
Time was dragged down like this.
For Yan Xia, this was very outrageous.
Fortunately, in the fourth year, after a total of 11 attempts, the new weapon was finally activated and fired a shot at the coordinates.
The shell is close to the speed of light, and even has the sign of reaching the speed of light.
It is not matter, but energy.
Not positive energy, but negative energy.
Since [Wind], the Civilization Federation has been researching negative energy weapons.
However, the development of negative energy is too difficult, resulting in a very slow progress in weapon research.
So much so that negative energy long-range weapons were not truly born until 1,700 years ago, and they were installed at the border of the Federation to deal with the Silk Civilization.
It can be said that the entire Civilization Federation has only one negative energy weapon so far, and it is conceivable that there is a reason for its failure.
But why do we still use it?
Because it is powerful!
Wide coverage.
Not easy to resist.
The advantages cover the disadvantages.
Negative energy was identified as the most likely energy to achieve superluminal movement in the 21st century, but this assumption has been denied now.
Negative energy has no way to make objects move superluminally, and space-time is far more stable than imagined.
To achieve warp flight, the energy required is not something that negative energy can afford.
But negative energy is indeed a kind of gravity.
So negative energy weapons are also gravitational weapons.
However, after it is launched, it will not form visible gravitational waves. If you make a model, you can think of this weapon as an iron ball rolling on a mattress, which makes the mattress bend.
Usually this kind of bending only occurs on massive celestial bodies and black holes.
And negative energy can achieve the same effect.
Why negative energy weapons do not escape at ultra-long distances is also due to gravity.
The space-time depression formed by gravity makes negative energy always shrink towards the center after moving forward, rather than escaping to the outside.
Although entropy increase and entropy decrease exist, they are insignificant for the huge energy of the entire weapon.
The battlefield where it converges is 10 light years away from the federal border, but it is 12 light years away from the negative energy weapon.
So when the negative energy weapon arrived, it was actually the 16th year, another 5 years after the 10 fleets discovered the civilization spy.
In these 5 years, they encountered more fierce attacks.
They lost 2 giant ships again, nearly 10,000 biological warships, and a super star hive, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
However, the Silk Civilization fleet did not suffer large-scale losses. According to the statistics of the Federation, only about 2,000 warships were destroyed.
The unbalanced casualty ratio not only continued to widen the gap in combat power between the two sides, but also affected the mentality of the Federation soldiers.
The Federation soldiers did not encourage each other, and even the most basic communication was rare.
This was the darkest 5 years.
The morale that was raised by the fearlessness of the Federation soldiers before collapsed to the bottom.
The only thing they held on to was actually the current coordinates.
They also thought of what Yan Xia thought of, and they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
As for using tachyon communication equipment to communicate, it was just a waste of energy.
If the commander knew the meaning of the coordinates, he should have launched the weapons long ago, and would not have waited until the 11th year to launch them. It would be meaningless to contact them in the 11th year.
If the commander did not know the meaning of the coordinates, there would be no way to contact them. After waiting for so long, they can only rely on themselves now and cannot wait for another 11 years for the weapons to be launched.
This hope is so slim.
If they put themselves in the commander's shoes, they should launch the weapons when they receive the coordinates, and the latest arrival time of the launched weapons should not exceed 12 years.
After 12 years, it means that the commander did not choose to launch the weapons at the first time, or even did not choose to contact them at the first time, which may mean that they have been abandoned.
Abandoned!
This is also one of the main reasons for the decline in morale of the federal soldiers.
The federation has already abandoned them, so who are they working hard for now?
Myself?
However, it is impossible for me to win.
So... let's play badly!
However, when the desperate 16th year came, the remaining 8 giant ships observed that the warships of the Silk Civilization were attracted by a mysterious force and converged towards a center of mass.
That is not a black hole.
It is a distortion of space-time that can only be caused by a massive celestial body.
It is also different from ordinary gravity.
Because it affects too wide a range, the gravity is too evenly spread.
The surface gravity of a celestial body cannot be compared with the core gravity, but the gravity of this gravity source at the edge is the same as that at the core.
This makes it difficult for the attracted objects to escape from gravity even at the edge.
Those tens of thousands of Silk Civilization warships were directly torn apart by gravity.
All the federal soldiers stood in place at this time, looking at the scene, and hope was rekindled in their hearts.
The Federation did not abandon them!
