"It's unbelievable! Academician Li actually managed to create such Reversed State!"
"General, you flatter me. It took me over 1500 years to develop this. If we had developed it sooner, our Grim Slayer might have been able to rival the Xuan Star Civilization in sheer numbers."
" Youwei, you still need to work harder and conduct various destructive experiments to study and explore the feasibility. Just because we can't destroy it doesn't mean that the Xuan Star Civilization is indestructible. Also, you need to convene a special meeting immediately to inform the relevant academicians and all scientists about the manufacturing methods and theories. I believe there are other types of Perfect Structure Reversed State. At the same time, we also need to discuss how to quickly enter the application stage. 500 years have passed, and we have finally achieved this great success. I hope it can be applied to the Grim Slayer as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will. I was so excited just now. I came here to show off as soon as I successfully reversed the process."
"Haha, Academician Li, why be modest? I wish you could come and show off every single moment!"
"General, Academician, I'll get back to work now."
"Okay, once the Grim Slayer app is activated, I will broadcast your award ceremony live globally."
"Thank you, General, but I didn't come here for a reward."
" Academician Li is overthinking it. This honor is well-deserved. I know you just wanted to make me happy. Thank you all for your concern. I want to let everyone know that I'm fine and thank you all for your efforts."
Upon returning to the laboratory, Academician Li immediately convened a special meeting at Academician Zeng's request. The meeting was free of tedious procedures and contained no irrelevant remarks. Academician Li went straight to the point, explaining the entire reverse conversion process in a clear and concise manner. Since everyone present was a professional with a thorough understanding of Basic Energy, Basic Matter, and Perfect Structure, the meeting was completed in just half an hour.
After the meeting, Academician Li immediately returned to the laboratory to conduct various experiments, especially destructive experiments. For the Reversed State sphere the size of a glass bead in front of him, Academician Li used all the destructive tools and instruments that could be found in the laboratory, but the surface of the Reversed State black sphere did not show any marks.
In the final stage of the experiment, Academician Li took the sphere directly out of the laboratory and into the fleet. He first had the fleet's antimatter attack the Reversed State sphere. This time, instead of using the energy of antimatter annihilation to destroy the Reversed State sphere, he used antimatter and the Reversed State sphere to test whether an annihilation reaction could occur.
Although Academician Li knew long ago that annihilation was impossible, science allows no room for carelessness. The fleet's antimatter mainly consisted of antiprotons and antineutrons, as these two types of matter exist in all civilizations. Sure enough, when the antimatter came into contact with the Reversed State sphere, no reaction occurred. Academician Li then used the energy from the antimatter annihilation to attack the Reversed State sphere. One hundred grams of antimatter and matter annihilated right next to the sphere. The energy sphere was swept several kilometers away by the energy and collided with the pre-intercepted Grim Slayer, remaining intact.
Academician Li then had the fleet release a large energy sphere. The Reversed State sphere remained beside the energy sphere. A distant warship plucked the strings of the energy sphere, causing it to explode. The violent energy caused space to vibrate, and the distant starry sky looked like the sky reflected on the rippling surface of a lake.
The ball was retrieved intact once again. High-energy lasers, rotating space, warp drive to distort space, gravity bombs— Academician Li tested everything he could think of, and the Reversed State ball always maintained its original appearance.
Academician Li had no choice but to take the Reversed State sphere back to the laboratory. Under the magnetic field microscope, it was found to be intact. However, when Academician Li gently moved one of the Basic Energy using the magnetic field lines, the seemingly indestructible Reversed State sphere immediately turned into a ball of energy. This was the only weakness of the Reversed State sphere. When Academician Li returned the moved Basic Energy to its original position, the Reversed State sphere returned to Academician Li's hands.
However, Academician Li is not worried that this weakness will be discovered by other civilizations, unless they also use the same technology as him. The magnetic field lines that manipulate the Basic Energy structure of the Reversed State ball require a meticulous design to be microscopically processed. Even the electrons that generate the current of the magnetic field lines are fixed one by one. Any slight fluctuation will cause the magnetic field lines to fluctuate too much, making it impossible to microscopically process the Reversed State ball.
Academician Li did not believe that such stable magnetic field lines could exist in a complex battlefield environment. Ordinary electromagnetic waves would have no effect on the Reversed State sphere. Academician Li had tested all wavebands and all rays, and the Reversed State sphere was immune to them all. However, Academician Li did not know whether the Reversed State sphere would be immune to spatial attacks as well.
Even if a spatial attack could damage the Reversed State sphere, spatial attacks are tiered. The harder the matter, the less effective the spatial attack. Just like a black hole, what kind of spatial attack could affect it? Even a neutron star would probably be beyond the reach of even Small Star Sector Civilization.
After several months of experimentation, Academician Li Youwei sent the tens of thousands of pages of report to Academician Zeng and Hu Yu. Hu Yu didn't care much; he just glanced at the end, found it feasible, and that was it. Academician Zeng, however, had a tough time. He had to verify every piece of data, every formula, and every equation on every page. Fortunately, with the help of computers, Academician Zeng only needed to verify the key parts. Even so, it would probably take at least two months to finish reading the report.
According to Academician Li's transformation results, the total volume of the Reversed State sphere after the energy sphere with a diameter of ten meters is still the same, without any change. However, the volume of this Reversed State sphere is fixed. To change the size of this Reversed State sphere, Academician Li would need to redesign the Perfect Structure. Therefore, it is not as simple as making it as large or as simple as wanting to make it small.
Academician Li spent another twenty years refining the Perfect Structure of the Reversed State sphere. Finally, a one-cubic-centimeter Reversed State- state cube appeared. With the square structure, the armor layer of the warship was easier to build. These Reversed State cubes did not require any secondary processing. They attracted each other like magnets. Two Reversed State cubes joined together were stronger than any welding. What this force was was no longer so important.
Next comes the application stage. In the laboratory, the reverse conversion speed is good enough to produce one Reversed State cube every few days. But that doesn't matter. As long as the theory is solved, entering the application stage is only a matter of time. Scientists just need to find the method. It's like a gem buried thousands of kilometers deep in the soil of a planet. Finding it may take hundreds, thousands of years or even longer, but once it is found, digging it out is a simple matter.
The fleet doesn't lack people to mine gems, but rather people who know how to find them. Currently, the fleet has over 3 million awarded scientists and more than 30,000 academicians. Although the number is still not large when divided into each branch, it is more than enough to solve these application problems. Previously, it only took a few years to convert matter into energy from the laboratory to the application stage. This time, with everyone's rich experience in reverse conversion, I believe it won't be long either.
