There was a hint of sobriety and profoundness in Abaddon's tone, just like a cold needle piercing the skin, bringing Zhang Han, who was still immersed in stronger power, back to calmness.

"Tell me your guess, Abaddon." Zhang Han calmed down and said seriously.

"I think we underestimated Shroud." Although she didn't want to admit it, Abaddon almost gritted her teeth and said this sentence.

"According to the research on Psionics, it is a specific manifestation of dark energy. Our universe is very delicate. The proportions of various materials and energies cannot be too much or too little."

After finishing the conclusion, Abaddon began to explain scientifically again.

"Too little will cause the universe to expand rapidly without limit, and all matter will have no chance to come together to form a stable material structure, and can only exist in the form of atoms and molecules."

"Too much will prevent the Big Bang from happening, or if it does happen, it will collapse quickly. All matter will be gathered together and there will be no prosperous and diverse material universe."

"According to Swarm's research on the universe, multiverses exist and their number is infinite. However, many universes have become dead universes due to inappropriate proportions of matter and energy."

"There are very few universes as vibrant as this one. There is probably only one universe in 100 million."

"The dimension where dark energy is located is also a part of this universe, but it is in a different dimension, so it is not observed or sensed. But just like Swarm was initially at a loss when it came to studying dark matter, but now we have achieved quite a lot of results."

"Now because of Psionics, Swarm has a deeper understanding of the dark energy dimension." Abaddon became excited. After all, what he was going to talk about was his scientific research results in the recent period. He is basically using the computing power of several giant Cerebrate.

"In our dimension, the conventional universe can form complex shapes and life, give birth to great and advanced civilizations, and the distribution of various materials and energy is so clever. So is the dimension of dark energy also very similar?"

"In the past, this answer was just a guess. Now I am very sure that there is a powerful civilization in the dark matter dimension, and this civilization should have reached the upper limit of its technological development and touched the ceiling of the dimension."

"Shroud is a piece of the world they cut off from the regular space to allow them to achieve their goals."

A row of formulas written on a green screen surrounded Abaddon. Several of his limbs were writing and drawing on it at the same time, writing out all the evidence for his answer.

"As I said before, the penetration between dimensions will affect the most basic cosmological constants. These constants will directly destroy the balance of the conventional universe and will most likely lead to the destruction of the conventional universe."

"I thought before that Shroud was unconscious and that being pulled by the consciousness of intelligent life was also unconscious, so they had no idea that it would cause serious consequences."

"Now I feel that this is all premeditated. The influence of dark energy has been so great that it can almost be regarded as observable physical energy. It is not appropriate to describe it as dark energy. However, the dimensional membrane is still intact."

"Without precise operation, this is impossible. According to my calculations..." After that, Abaddon started writing and drawing on the screen again. Fortunately, Swarm Network was virtual. If it were the real world, the screen wouldn't be enough for him to write.

"Shroud seems to be elongating, sticking to the dimensional membrane and elongating. Of course, this is just a calculation and needs to be verified. I need more Cerebrate assistance. I control the existence of Shroud and do not want to destroy the balance between dimensions."

The transformed gray mist of Zhang Han stretched out a hand, interrupting Abaddon's words. He wanted to say, what you said is too complicated, let me explain it, but as Overmind, he couldn't seem too ignorant or cheap, so Zhang Han spoke.

"I will give you Cerebrate to continue your research. We will find out whether there is civilization in the dark matter dimension, what they want to do, and what their purpose is. Before that, I will order Swarm to use this power carefully."

Abaddon opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted again by Zhang Han. His brain was already hurting.

"The demon insect Lapras is already hatching. After he is born, you can continue the research on Psionics, dimensions, and Shroud."

Making a gesture of opening his hands and bowing his head in salute, Abaddon said, "Thank you, great Overmind, you are the most supportive Overmind I have ever seen who supports scientific research. Most Overmind are very ruthless, addicted to killing and Consume."

This Abaddon is not an honest person, he can even say flattery. Zhang Han kicked him offline and asked him to do his own research. Then he packaged the formula written by Abaddon and everything he said, and sent it to Overmind consciousness.

Then the human consciousness no longer cares about these things. Of course, this time he is not playing games again, but is seriously helping Isha make overall plans, develop Hatchery, increase production capacity, and incubate Swarm.

After receiving something from the human consciousness, Overmind consciousness cut off a part of his mind to study it carefully, and then he was overjoyed.

The changes in Shroud mean that the Psionics spells he can use have exceeded some of the upper limits in power. Although frequent use of the Psionics stance will cause Shroud to expand faster and faster, it is still possible to only use it in key places.

At this time, Overmind's conscious attention was still on Kadian, and he didn't understand. Zagara had been fighting in Kadian for more than ten days, with no intention of withdrawing. Two more Hatchery were added to the war.

Zhang Han's second meteorite fortress is about to fall. He has never fought a battle that lasted so long and was so fierce.

But this is also beneficial, that is, Zhang Han's tactical command level has improved greatly, it is a thousand miles forward. It can be said that he himself today can always beat himself yesterday.

There is a lot of good news coming from Kundera. He has occupied five Zagara galaxies, compressing a lot of space in Zagara. If it takes another ten days, Kundera's strength will surpass Zagara.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han's psychology began to become unbalanced again. It was obviously him who was developing, and Kundera was the tank. Now it's completely reversed, and all the benefits are taken by Kundera. He is here to take damage and attract firepower.

In the past ten days, Zhang Han's consumption was very huge. When the fighting was the least intense, it suffered losses of 20,000 to 30,000 every day. Zagara on the opposite side suffered almost the same loss. With battles and collisions of this scale, Stellaris Council could defeat four permanent members.

Originally, Zhang Han could not last for so long. Thanks to the opening of the star gate, the newly hatched Swarm fleet came to support every day.

In the Balance Star Territory, Johnny also continued to use transport ships to transport various rare resources to Hatchery. High-energy Crystal and High-energy Gas never stopped, increasing the production capacity of Zhang Han by at least ten percent.
