Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Over the past few decades, countless outstanding scientists have emerged from these civilizations, and the civilizations have developed rapidly. This has given Hu Yu and everyone else hope. The alliance seems to be a good way to enhance strength. However, how to attract other civilizations to join the alliance in the future still needs careful study.

Defense equipment built upon the Space Barrier of the Xuan Star Civilization has begun to be deployed in the surrounding airspace. Since there is no need to build warships, only the space weapon system needs to be deployed, the process is countless times less than building warships. Hu Yu plans to deploy as many of these defense systems as possible within tens of light-years around the city.

In 7998 AD, a small spaceship 30 light-years away from the Milky Way finally transmitted the last batch of images of the galaxy. These were images of the Milky Way from 300,000 years ago. The supercomputer had already screened out spatial anomalies from the previous 290,000 years, and with this last batch, a total of more than 1.3 million anomalous spatial coordinates were identified.

Everyone believes that the space of the Treant Civilization must be within these more than 1.3 million anomalous space coordinates, but the computer can no longer process which one it is.

These anomalous coordinates could be due to stellar evolution, civilization wars, or stellar relocation. They could also be special natural or spatial phenomena like Nebula Region. In addition, the farther away the distance, the weaker the light becomes, which greatly affects the optical equipment of the small spacecraft. What might have been a normal space could appear abnormal when captured on camera.

Faced with this massive amount of data, the academicians had to calculate and compare it one by one. The work was tedious and complicated, but when they thought of Zhang Yuanshan Zhang Yuanshan his wife, they immediately felt that the work in front of them was nothing. For the sake of the fleet, Zhang Yuanshan embarked on the road to death without hesitation. To this day, Academician Zeng and Academician Liu still remember Zhang Yuanshan's tall and imposing figure. He was willing to sacrifice his life for the fleet.

This is what makes China soldiers so endearing. In the Earth era, they sacrificed themselves to protect the planet, and now they are sacrificing themselves to protect the fleet. It is thanks to their sacrifices that Human Civilization has been able to continue to this day. Now the fleet has the strength to rescue Zhang Yuanshan, so a little hardship is nothing.

In the year 8000 AD, at the end of the year, two great events occurred. The first was that Academician Li Youwei, through the recombination of Basic Energy, finally discovered the second unnatural Perfect Structure. The second Reversed State work was created. Compared to the first unnatural Perfect Structure, the second one also had the same characteristics, but Academician Li used more Basic Energy to create the Reversed State work of the second Perfect Structure.

Although it is not possible to accurately test the defensive values of the two Reversed State at the moment, because the fleet's current attack power is also unable to break the Reversed State, Academician Li Youwei believes that the defensive effect of the second Reversed State will be stronger, because it consumes one-third more Basic Energy to create. However, for the same size and volume, the more energy, the stronger the defense, which is a basic theorem.

Although it is only one-third of the excess energy, which may not seem like much, Academician Li Youwei tried countless methods and conducted more than a million experiments in order to add this one-third of the energy. It took 1,500 years from the discovery of the Perfect Structure to the emergence of the first unnatural Perfect Structure, and more than 4,000 years from the first unnatural perfect Perfect Structure to the second unnatural Perfect Structure, all for the sake of adding one-third of the Basic Energy.

While precise figures were unavailable, the academicians devised a simple solution: colliding two fully loaded Grim Slayer equipped with Reversed State Armor. Even at the current level, the kinetic energy generated by the collision was still far greater than the attack energy of other weapons.

For example, in the annihilation and collision of matter and antimatter, according to the mass-energy formula E=MC² and the kinetic energy formula E=0.5MV², if two warships collide at 0.3 times the mass, V is not far from C, but the difference between M and C is enormous. Unless matter and antimatter reach the mass of a warship, the mass of the Grim Slayer can exceed billions of tons.

More importantly, the energy of an impact is concentrated at one point, while the energy of an explosion is dispersed. Therefore, even now, impact remains a means of obtaining maximum offensive power. However, whether it can be effectively utilized in actual combat depends on the speed difference between the two warships and their offensive and defensive postures.

By comparing low-speed impacts, the collision scenes of the two types of armor are like a car colliding with a Dongfeng truck, clearly showing the difference in strength and power. Now, the Grim Slayer will have an additional layer of armor. The two types of armor are not simply enhanced defenses. According to Academician Li Youwei's research, there are also differences between the two Reversed State, so it is necessary to equip the Killer with two types of Reversed State Armor at the same time.

Besides the Reversed State Armor, another piece of good news is the second space attack plan: an improved area attack based on the Space Barrier of the Xuan Star Civilization. The Space Barrier requires all warships to be arranged in a plane. The more warships there are, the wider the range. However, it is only planar, making it difficult to use in combat, although its defensive effect is quite good.

However, the Xuan Star Civilization did this in order to concentrate more energy to increase the attack effect. The academicians speculated that if the Xuan Star Civilization civilization had more warships, it could have created a huge Space Cage, completely sealed off from all sides, so that no warship that entered it could escape.

The safety of a warship using Space Barrier is absolutely guaranteed, provided it doesn't encounter a superhuman defense or a higher-level civilization like humanity. As long as the warship isn't destroyed by a more powerful attack, the enemy fleet surrounded on six sides can't escape or break through; they can only be destroyed one by one by the Xuan Star Civilization fleet. If it weren't for the Grim Slayer relying on its Reversed State Armor, it wouldn't be able to break through the Xuan Star Civilization's Space Barrier at all.

Academician Liu improved this attack method because humans have more abundant and efficient energy, and warships do not need to be neatly arranged to create a similar effect to Space Barrier. However, since the superposition effect is gone and the distance may be very far, the actual attack intensity cannot reach that of the Xuan Star Civilization, but the range and freedom of attack have been greatly increased.

As long as the fleet is willing, it can activate the Space Barrier at any time, regardless of the warship's position. The experiment uses the Grim Slayer without the Reversed State Armor as the target ship. It can effectively damage the Grim Slayer at close range, but it cannot damage the Grim Slayer at a distance. Even so, it is more effective than the method of the Xuan Star Civilization. After all, the battlefield is chaotic, and seizing the opportunity is the most effective means.

The obvious drawback is the same as that of the Xuan Star Civilization's warships: after activating the Space Barrier, the surrounding space becomes so chaotic that even regular navigation is impossible, and the warships can only remain stationary. If the problem of maneuverability can be solved, the combat power will definitely reach a new level. Even with the orderly arrangement of the Xuan Star Civilization's warships, once the warships can maneuver, their destructive power will be even more terrifying.
