After the intense light, the mechanical behemoth remained motionless, and the space returned to its deathly silence. Hu Yu was baffled by this attack method; the mechanical behemoth that had just been so arrogant now seemed like a piece of scrap metal.
"Alright, stop wasting those trash warships of yours."
Hu Yu had no choice but to ignore the words of the Demon Scorpion Civilization. What the Demon Scorpion Fleet could accomplish in a few seconds required him Carina Civilization to expend billions of warships to do. If the mechanical behemoth hadn't jumped into the fourth dimension, who knows how long the Demon Scorpion Civilization would have waited to make its move.
Youwei did all the previous mechanical warships self-destruct after being attacked, while this giant ship has been preserved intact? It seems that the Demon Scorpion Civilization has mastered some aspects of the Mechanical Civilization.
"You're not convinced?"
"I wouldn't dare, but the quality and technology of your Demon Scorpion Civilization are indeed unequal."
"Manners? What a joke! What use are manners? Strength is the only true measure. Fine, seeing you've lost some of your valuable assets, I'll give you a few of these giant ships after dismantling them. But don't do anything stupid like trying to copy or repair them, or you'll be the ones getting dealt with, understand? Of course, you won't be able to copy anything anyway. These warships are only intact on the surface; inside, they've been reduced to scorched earth."
"You don't need to remind me."
"You say our Demon Scorpion Civilization's quality and technology are mismatched, but your temperament and technology also seem mismatched. Hurry up and take your things back to the three-dimensional universe, remember to clean up your mess, and don't wait for us to tell you what to do before you act."
" Demon Scorpion Civilization! Don't be so arrogant."
"Arrogant! You've got guts! Don't take these mechanical warships!"
"You guys are ruthless. Thanks."
Hu Yu led his fleet back to the three-dimensional universe in extreme displeasure. Even Dongdong's expression turned extremely ugly, and Wen Zhonghua was so angry that his teeth were grinding, his fists were clenched, and his face was ashen. If the creatures of the Demon Scorpion Civilization were in front of him, Wen Zhonghua would definitely have pounced on them and given them a good beating.
The fleet returned to the three-dimensional universe and swiftly wiped out the remaining swarm. Under the immense energy impact of the dimensional collapse, the swarm was reduced to almost nothing. This was even faster than the speed at which the Great Star Region Civilization could use spatial attacks to exterminate the swarm in three dimensions.
After wiping out the swarm of insects, the fleet quickly moved on into the distance. The energy tide was still advancing, and the fleet had to get ahead of it and use its hulls to block it in some directions. Otherwise, all low-level civilizations within a region of thousands of light-years would perish, and some planets would also suffer annihilation.
It's unknown how long these Planetary-Level Civilization can survive. Right now, we can only try to prolong their lives. Perhaps they can break through to the Planetary-Level Civilization Star-Level before the massive invasion of the Zerg swarm. Only after reaching the Stellar-Level Civilization will they have a sliver of hope, and even then, only a sliver.
The once prosperous JD6 Planetary System is no more, leaving only countless insect corpses drifting in place. Of the dozen or so stars, only three are still in motion, but they have all deviated from their original orbits, and their fate, like that of humans, is unpredictable.
In this battle, over 6 billion Reaper ships were destroyed, 500 Planetary Cannons were destroyed, and 5 billion ships of the Carina Civilization were destroyed. Although the Demon Scorpion Civilization's attitude was hostile, the losses would have been far greater without them. Moreover, this was the fleet's first time operating in the fourth dimension, from which they benefited immensely.
The Demon Scorpion Civilization left four mechanical warships for the fleet, Hu Yu gave two to the Carina Civilization. At this time, it was imperative to improve the alliance's strength as soon as possible, whether through technology transfer or by forcing growth. Hu Yu had already anticipated that the Mechanical Civilization could not be completely destroyed; they would lie low and wait for an opportunity. Once the opportunity arose, they would definitely develop rapidly. At that time, the Milky Way civilization would survive in the gap between the two great gods, the Swarm and the Mechanical Civilization.
"General, we've analyzed the Mechanical Civilization's warships, and there are a few things we need to report."
" Qin Yin, please speak."
Qin Yin is one of the few women among the fleet's top academicians. At first glance, this female academician is no different from other women in the fleet, but this seemingly petite academician is one of the top dozens of academicians in the entire fleet.
The concept of gender equality was already realized in Earth's era, and it is even more so in the fleet now. There are not only female academicians like Qin Yin, but also many female scientists, female generals, female officials, and so on. Wherever there is a need for manpower, there are women. Although they are not as physically strong as men, they are more meticulous, patient, and persistent. Therefore, many tasks in the fleet are specially selected for women.
"General, firstly, the materials used in the warships of the Mechanical Civilization are very special; they don't seem to be elements from our universe."
"Not an element of our universe?"
"This is just my guess, because the entire warship is composed of superheavy elements, with each atom having an atomic weight exceeding 5,000. Although warships built with these superheavy elements have the characteristics of high stability and strong defense, the superheavy elements in the mechanical warship seem to be very special. They can easily withstand various energy impacts, but they cannot cope with the corrosion of the swarm of insects."
"Could they have synthesized it themselves?"
"We've been working on synthesizing superheavy elements, but synthesizing atoms is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than extracting antimatter and Virtual Matter. It involves a series of complex processes, and the difficulty of synthesis increases exponentially with the number of particles. It's more worthwhile to use that energy to create degenerate matter."
"That's not the most important thing. The reason I say these substances aren't from our universe is because we discovered a completely new type of particle among these particles. It exists in large quantities within the mechanical warships. When we separated this particle, the materials of the mechanical warships didn't change at all. In other words, this particle exists naturally, and this element also exists naturally. Mechanical Civilization wouldn't add a useless particle when synthesizing superheavy elements for no reason."
"Yes, continue."
"Secondly, regarding the attack on the mechanical warship by the Demon Scorpion warship, does the general know what attack method the Demon Scorpion warship used?"
"I'm not entirely sure. At the time, we were in the fourth dimension, and the warship's external equipment was malfunctioning. We only saw the Demon Scorpion warship emit beams of bright light, and then the mechanical warship combination stopped."
"Hehe, General, what you saw was a dense beam of electrons, or rather, an electric current, not some kind of bright light," Qin Yin chuckled.
"Electron beam?"
"Yes, after analyzing the mechanical warship, we found that all the circuits had been destroyed by a powerful electric current."
