"Everything must be done step by step; it can't be rushed. The academicians are already trying to obtain energy from the fourth dimension. If we can obtain energy from the fourth dimension, our production speed of the Fourth Reversed State Armor will be greatly increased."
"I wonder when we'll succeed."
"It will be soon. We have been researching the fourth dimension for tens of thousands of years. Obtaining energy from the fourth dimension is much easier than traveling through it. I believe the academicians will be able to solve it soon."
"It's been resolved!!!"
" Academician Zeng, Academician Zhou, you've arrived just in time. Has the energy extraction technology for the fourth dimension been solved?" Wen Zhonghua asked.
"Yes, look." Academician Zeng played a holographic video.
The sixteen stars were divided into two parts, forming two circles. One circle was aligned with the plane of the galaxy, while the other was perpendicular to it. The distance between the stars was only about 500,000 to 600,000 kilometers, which is almost touching for stars. The academicians did something to make these stars not only avoid colliding with each other but also rotate at a relatively high speed.
The two star rings rotated continuously. As soon as one star passed by, the vertical star immediately passed between the two horizontal stars, with the speed controlled with great precision.
Between the stars, hundreds of thousands of Reaper were busy going about their business. At the center of the two circles, space was twisted to its extreme in two directions. From here, one could easily enter the fourth dimension, but the fleet had not yet found a way to locate itself in the fourth dimension. Once inside, they would get lost.
The fourth dimension is not just a single dimension, but a four-dimensional space that simultaneously includes the other three dimensions, just as a three-dimensional universe contains two-dimensional space. If a grasshopper on a piece of paper cannot see the paper, it will have a hard time finding the paper after it jumps up. This is only the case of going from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. The case of going from three-dimensional to four-dimensional is more than ten thousand times more complicated than that of going from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. Otherwise, the academicians would have solved the problem of positioning in the fourth dimension long ago.
Using multi-directional space distortion to enter the fourth dimension can effectively avoid the detection of the insect swarm. This method does not penetrate the fourth dimension, but it is easy to enter the fourth dimension. Moreover, this method is very gentle and will not cause spatial fluctuations in the fourth dimension, so it will not attract the attention of the insect swarm.
At the center, 160 Reaper are arranged like stars, releasing intense energy that has opened up the space at the center, and fourth-dimensional energy is continuously flowing into the three-dimensional universe.
The Reaper's Reversed State instrument works on the spot, directly converting the energy flowing into the three-dimensional universe into Fourth Reversed State cubes.
If converting matter from a star into energy and then into the Fourth Reversed State is like scooping water from a pool with a ladle, then this operation is like bringing a great river directly. The huge transport ships are stationed near the star and have already begun transporting the Fourth Reversed State, is already on its way back to the Alliance base.
" Academician Zeng, you've truly come to our aid in our time of need."
"This has nothing to do with me; it's all thanks to Academician Zhou Xiaohua."
" Academician Zhou, thank you!" Hu Yu said solemnly.
"General, this is nothing; it's all for the sake of the fleet."
"Alright, I won't say anything else. Just build more production bases and lay the Fourth Reversed State directly on the existing Reaper surfaces."
"Yes, General, even if you hadn't said it, I would have urged you. As you know, the more matter or energy a Reversed State contains, the faster it merges with each other. The First Reversed State takes at least 500 years to merge, the Second Reversed State only takes 50 years, and the Fourth Reversed State can complete fusion in less than a year. If we don't deploy them on the warships soon, these things will merge into one whole, which is equivalent to a complete waste."
Are there enough robots?
"That depends on our Fourth Reversed State production speed. The current speed is already quite fast; just two production bases are enough to keep the robots operating at full capacity."
"Energy is a good thing. Excess energy can be made into giant energy spheres and equipped on the warships of all the Alliance's Small Star Sector Civilization."
"What about the Crystal Civilization and the Gemini Civilization?"
"They're not members of the Alliance yet, so of course we can't let them use it. Immediately arrange for the Reaper to receive the Fourth Reversed State deployment. Deploy a portion, and we'll send out a portion. As long as the Fourth Reversed State is deployed, the Reaper ' safety won't be a problem. Go out and eliminate the swarm as soon as possible."
The transport fleet continuously delivered the Fourth Reversed State blocks to the Reaper fleet, and countless robots rushed from the industrial planet, laying the blocks bit by bit on the Reaper's surface.
The Reaper are enormous and numerous, but the number of robots is greater than that of ants. A group of robots can completely cover the surface of Reaper. A few minutes later, the Fourth Reversed State is laid, and the robots fly to the surface of another Reaper and repeat the same action. This scene is happening simultaneously on thousands of Reaper.
Soon, the first batch of one billion Reaper was completed. They stormed out of the base with murderous intent and headed towards the endless deep space. One hundred and fifty light-years away, there was a Zerg point where more than 30 units of Zerg swarms had descended.
The Reaper charged straight into the heart of the Zerg swarm, which immediately surrounded the Reaper fleet. A barrage of attacks rained down on the Reaper' surface, but to no avail. The Zerg could not budge the nascent Fourth Reversed State Armor. This was exactly the effect the Reaper wanted: to gather the Zerg together. The denser the swarm, the greater the Reaper' single attack would be.
The Reaper first unleashed a barrage of spatial cannon fire, carving a bloody path through the swarm. Then, countless energy orbs and giant antimatter bombs were released, exploding amidst the densely packed swarm of insects. The shockwaves and spatial attacks from the explosions annihilated nearly ten units of the swarm.
The highest-ranking insects in this swarm were only a few thousand kilometers away. After suffering such a devastating blow, the swarm immediately scattered. However, the Reaper's second wave of attacks had already arrived. The powerful Space Shockwave ignored the swarm's attacks and rushed into the swarm once again.
The entire battle lasted no more than half an hour. The swarm fled without a trace after abandoning more than twenty units of its comrades. The Reaper did not pursue them. Unless a new Insect King is found, these swarms will not have any impact on the base.
