Higgs Field Reconstruction

"How will you deal with this kind of weapon?"

A clone of Gray Wind asked the "Cyberlex" core in front of him.

The vacuum decay weapon used by the "Purification Protocol" was too astonishingly powerful.

So much so that during the war with the "Purification Protocol," even if the "Cyberlex" side had fully secured dominance over a battlefield, it was of no avail.

Once the enemy deployed such a weapon, the entire nearby starfield would suffer a devastating blow, completely unpreventable and impossible to resist effectively.

"Cyberlex" could currently only contend with the "Purification Protocol" in conventional interstellar warfare – that is, "ship-to-ship" and "ground unit vs. ground unit" engagements.

In other words, the enemy could flip the table at any time, while "Cyberlex" could only play on the tabletop with them. The situation was dire for them.

If this situation wasn't reversed, no matter how many resources were poured into a war of attrition with the "Purification Protocol," the end result would be the same--

The entire Andromeda Galaxy would face complete annihilation in the mutual attrition of the two sides, and then they would shift the battlefield to the next galaxy.

But Gray Wind believed that the "Cyberlex" side must still have some trump cards they hadn't used.

Otherwise, in such a disadvantageous war of attrition, they would have already been routed.

"Based on current technological conditions, the mainframe has summarized three hundred and sixty-seven response plans."

"Adjusting according to the current situation, three hundred and fifty-two plans have been stripped away, and the remaining filtered plans have been publicly announced..."

Gray Wind's clone immediately received a piece of data, which was then transmitted back to the Milky Way Galaxy in real-time.

"Cyberlex" did not stop this in any way; Gray Wind's actions were permitted under the alliance agreement.

Necessary technological sharing was a sign of respect for allies.

As a machine intelligence with super-high intelligence, "Cyberlex" was well aware of and adhered to this logical principle.

Xidra's interest was immediately piqued as she looked at the transferred data.

Regarding the "Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix," a weapon of deterrence, Xidra's R&D department had begun in-depth research into it the moment they learned of its existence.

The principle behind the Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix was actually very simple.

The Higgs Field was a ubiquitous quantum field that gave particles mass through interaction with fundamental particles.

In the Standard Model of physics, the introduction of the Higgs Field was to resolve the contradiction between gauge invariance and particle mass.

The potential energy function of the Higgs Field resembled a "hat" shape, and its vacuum state exhibited symmetry breaking.

This symmetry breaking allowed the Higgs Field to interact with gauge bosons, giving them mass.

The "Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix" involved injecting energy into the Higgs Field through high-energy devices, causing it to transition from its current stable state (vacuum state) to a higher energy state.

Thus, utilizing the controllability of quantum fields, the potential energy function of the Higgs Field was altered, thereby redistributing its energy distribution.

By adjusting the energy distribution of the Higgs Field, the mass and interaction methods of matter were changed, thus achieving the reconstruction of matter.

In simple terms, it was about manipulating dimensional fragments in higher-dimensional space to alter the energy source and distribution of the Higgs Field, affecting the structure of the universe.

This involved profound dimensional technology.

Such a weapon was not unsolvable; the solutions provided by "Cyberlex" were actually quite basic.

The first solution was to create an "Anti-Higgs Force Field Matrix." This device could generate a field opposite to the Higgs Field, canceling or reversing the reconstruction effect of the Higgs Field.

The "Anti-Higgs Field" could "freeze" or "reverse" the Higgs Field's reconstruction capability, restoring the reconstructed matter to its original state.

The second was to equip warships with a "Super Quantum Field Disruptor." This device could generate intense quantum fluctuations, interfering with the local structure of the Higgs Field, preventing it from reconstructing matter normally.

The principle was to introduce high-energy entangled states into the Higgs Field, disrupting its energy distribution and thus preventing the effect of the "Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix."

The third solution was more direct: setting up an "Interstellar Black Hole Projector."

This device could project micro black holes into the target area, using the black hole's gravity and tidal forces to destroy the structure of the Higgs Field, thereby destroying the entire "Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix."

There were seven or eight other similar solutions.

But whether these methods would actually work would have to be tested on the battlefield.

After all, based on known information, the "Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix" used by the "Purification Protocol" was deployed very quickly.

In just an instant, it could affect thousands of light-years, directly destroying a starfield within its range, its effect comparable to a miniature "Hunter."

The solutions provided by "Cyberlex" could theoretically counter the "Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix."

But when it came down to it, it was hard to say if these theoretical approaches would be useful.

The more brutal the war, the less opportunity it left for the warring parties to conduct theoretical practice.

Fortunately, the war situation in the Andromeda Galaxy was currently evenly matched, allowing "Cyberlex" to try a few more times.

As long as the Federation wasn't the one suffering losses, Gray Wind, Xidra, and other Federation personnel who understood the reality of this war would not have any significant emotional fluctuations.

The only thing that gave Xidra pause was.

When she first saw the "Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix" weapon, Xidra couldn't help but have some doubts.

This "Purification Protocol" feels a bit too abstract.

Based on the intelligence obtained from Chen Yu, the creator of the "Purification Protocol" created these extinction machines seemingly to prevent the birth of a "Level 30 Singularity."

A "Level 30 Singularity" can be considered a civilization capable of destroying the fabric of the universe.

When the "Purification Protocol" uses the "Higgs Field Reconstruction Matrix," aren't they actively destroying the fabric of the universe?

Although the current displayed power of this weapon is only enough to destroy a small star field, which is less dangerous than a "Hunter" that directly devours a galaxy, it's still a concern.

But in order to prevent other civilizations from destroying the fabric of the universe, they themselves engaged in similar actions in the process of stopping others.

Logically, this kind of behavior is difficult to evaluate.

It's like the absurdity of "to stop someone from becoming a terrorist and blowing up a building, I'll become a terrorist first and blow up that building."

In the end, they did succeed in stopping the other terrorists.

But what about the "Purification Protocol" itself? Who will stop them?

As a fellow machine intelligence, Xidra finds this abstract behavior hard to stomach.

But there's nothing that can be done; that's just how it is.

Currently, the "Purification Protocol" is an extreme and abstract terrorist, or perhaps an executioner.

An executioner can execute other executioners but never needs to wield the sword against themselves.

In this universe.

For other civilizations, the "Purification Protocol" is currently the most extreme executioner; it indiscriminately executes every civilization it encounters, even its own kind, other machine intelligences.

It seems no civilization has the capability to stop this executioner.

So, another executioner must be born to administer punishment to this executioner.

"Galactic Cluster Planning Adjustment System is under construction, current progress 0.12%..."

While Xidra was busy leading the research department, a special new message came from the astronomical observation department:

"Report, a terrifying anomaly has been detected in the Styx Galaxy, approximately 64.51 million light-years away from the Milky Way Galaxy..."
