700 light-years from the core of JD6 lies an ordinary planetary system, located on the edge of a galaxy. The density of civilization is extremely low. When the fleet first arrived, the life on this planet had already entered a primitive social form. More than 20,000 years later, they were finally able to conduct high-energy physics experiments.
This planetary system has a total of 4 planets. In order not to affect the development of these organisms, the fleet did not requisition the planets here and left them all in their original locations.
Currently, at the L5 Lagrange point of the second planet, there is a huge ring-shaped particle accelerator with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers and a total length of more than 3,000 kilometers.
"General, how does it feel? Does it feel familiar?" Yang Fan asked.
"Yes, we built a similar particle accelerator near Earth back then, just to reduce the slight influence of Earth's gravity on particles, hoping to uncover the secrets of the universe. We never expected it to attract a swarm of insects."
"Although the potential of this Eastern Pearl Civilization is not as great as that of our Human Civilization, its current female leader is a woman of great vision. In this turbulent time, she has still managed to create such a long particle orbit with a limited number of spacecraft."
"It seems they are still using atomic fission energy."
"Yes, but they've gone much further than us in the field of fission energy. Our micro-ships have infiltrated and investigated; their fusion energy technology is only in its infancy. Given their capabilities, it's unclear when they'll be able to reach the application stage. General, look! Their ship has reached the accelerator."
Images were transmitted from the miniature spacecraft: a small spacecraft, several tens of meters long, was approaching the particle accelerator. Judging from its clumsy flight attitude and slow movements, it was indeed not much different from humans in Earth's time. Back then, didn't humans rely on this kind of clumsy movement to travel back and forth to space time and time again, and build particle accelerators of the same scale in space?
"It seems they're going to conduct an experiment, but such an experiment is doomed to fail. Particles with such high energy will definitely penetrate the three-dimensional universe and enter the fourth dimension."
"We don't know if this time they've attracted First-Tier Mother Insect or a high-tier swarm. If it's First-Tier Mother Insect, they might be able to handle it, but if it's a high-tier swarm, even one would probably be enough to destroy them."
"Let's take a look first. If it's First-Tier Mother Insect, that would be perfect. Let's capture some and give them to Academician Xiao for research. With our current technological advancements, further research on the queen might yield some results."
" The Fish Horse Star Civilization killed tens of millions of our people for a few queen worms. General, what exactly is so terrifying about the queen worms?"
"I don't know either. I should have asked Mr. Daozi back then, and then asked Dongdong when we got back; he knows."
" Dongdong and the others are very busy right now. They haven't brought any planets with them. The few habitable planets they have are all selected from our existing planets, and they're currently being modified. We've also allocated some unused planets to them so they can build industrial systems. They'll probably be busy for a while."
The Eastern Pearl Civilization's experiments have begun. The ring-shaped particle accelerator is already running at full power. Although this low-level energy is like the difference between a candle flame and a star compared to the current fleet, every technological civilization starts from this tiny candle flame and embarks on the ultimate path to pursue the secrets of the universe.
The first experiment ended quickly, and as expected, some of the particles after the collision went to the fourth dimension, causing a significant deviation in the results. This was the first opportunity for a low-level civilization to come into contact with the fourth dimension. At the time, humanity did not notice this phenomenon, assuming that the particles had dissipated as energy. It is unknown whether the Eastern Pearl Civilization will be able to discover it.
However, the three-dimensional universe has been breached. This high-energy breach in the fourth dimension may be like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating the path for the invasion of the insect swarm.
Soon, preparations began for the second high-energy particle collision experiment of the Eastern Pearl Civilization. The failure of the first experiment would not deter them. This is not only a basic quality of a scientist, but also because such experiments often encounter various deviations, requiring continuous testing to correct the experimental data.
In the second experiment, the physicists of the Eastern Pearl Civilization increased the energy output. After being accelerated and powered, the two beams of particles collided violently again, and this time more than half of the particles disappeared.
"What's going on? What exactly happened?" The chief physicist of the Eastern Pearl Civilization racked his brains, but he couldn't figure it out no matter what he did.
"Where did the vanished particles go? I just can't understand it. The Führer overcame pressure and spent a fortune to build this super particle accelerator. How can such experimental results be worthy of the Führer!"
Near the particle accelerator, a white insect head suddenly appeared out of thin air. It twisted its body, spun around, and then disappeared into space. All of this was captured perfectly by the miniature spaceship.
" Zhonghua, something's up! It's First-Tier Mother Insect!"
"As expected of those beasts, they'll be taught a lesson this time!"
"First, move the planet of the Eastern Pearl Civilization to the vicinity of a nearby star; the swarm will arrive soon."
"Alright, this time I'll see just how capable they are. Frying, baking, stewing—let these insects experience our culinary skills firsthand."
The Reaper fleet sailed over from nearby space. Several Reaper stepped forward and used their robotic arms to control several small spaceships of the Eastern Pearl Civilization near the accelerator, placing them directly onto their planet.
Faced with the massive Reaper fleet, these beings, who had previously been discussing whether other civilizations existed in the universe, were immediately thrown into a panic.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Aliens have landed! Aliens have landed!!!"
"I see. As the Minister of the Army, you must have composure. Such panic is unbecoming. Don't panic, prepare accordingly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, how should we respond? Their technological capabilities are too formidable. Their massive warships alone are countless; any one of them could easily destroy us."
"Forget it, our countermeasures won't work. It's unbelievable that there really are extraterrestrial civilizations in this universe, and so powerful ones at that."
"Your Majesty, let's think about what to do now. The people are completely outraged, and panic is spreading. If this continues, even if the aliens don't intervene, the internal strife we just quelled will likely break out again. Those extremists haven't been completely eradicated; they will definitely seize this opportunity to rise again and overthrow our civilization once more."
"These are all minor matters. Look at these warships, how perfect they are, how well they fit into this universe. And look at us, still entangled in petty gains. How insignificant these gains are compared to this universe, and how ridiculous we are."
