However, considering that the Reaper are constantly engaged in high-intensity production and cannot stop to modify their production lines, and that the Reaper would need to make significant modifications if the new space cannon were to be forcibly Reaper, all of these factors make it impossible for the Reaper to equip themselves with this new type of space cannon.
The most pressing problem to be solved now is the long-distance delivery of the four-dimensional hypersphere. If we rely on space cannons for delivery every time, not only will the distance be compromised, but the attack effectiveness will also be greatly reduced. However, this does not affect the design and manufacture of the Exterminator warship. The warship has sufficient design redundancy, so even if we modify it later to deliver the hypersphere over long distances, it will not be too troublesome.
In the Star Ring Alliance, there are now more than a thousand stars forming more than two hundred rings, with eight stars forming each ring. The two rings intersect horizontally and vertically, respectively. The stars are quite close to each other, and they are all controlled by the Reaper, otherwise a violent collision would occur immediately.
In the center of these rings, large-scale equipment is converting energy extracted from the fourth dimension into various substances needed to manufacture the Exterminator warships. Matter is composed of Basic Energy. Academician Li Youwei has analyzed almost all known matter in the universe. Now, matter is directly composed of Basic Energy according to various orders, which is countless times faster than extracting matter from stars.
Previously, the production line often waited for materials, which is why Hu Yu acquired tens of thousands of planets. Now, not a single planet is needed. The energy-converted materials are directly transported to thousands of planetary shipbuilding machines. Every hour or so, a Exterminator warship flies out of the planetary shipbuilding machine.
Compared to the Reaper's construction speed, the Exterminator is much slower. Under current production conditions, the annual output is at most 8 million ships. Although the number of planetary ship-building machines will be increased later, time is limited, and the annual output will only increase to around 10 million ships at most.
In other words, the fleet will only increase to 100 billion ships in 10,000 years. The number of Superintelligent Robot is already increasing. If these Superintelligent Robot Superintelligent Robot released, they will soon build production lines and manufacture warships. However, they do not yet have the ability to defend themselves. Releasing these Superintelligent Robot would undoubtedly bring unnecessary trouble to the fleet.
The technology of coordinate base stations was completely mastered by Academician Zhou Xiaohua a few years ago. Hu Yu began to deploy them near the base. Half of this equipment is in the three-dimensional universe, and the other half is in the fourth dimension. However, the fourth-dimensional part is very small, with only one antenna for transmitting signals.
The Reaper and Exterminator have entered the fourth dimension multiple times for testing. However, the Reaper are three-dimensional warships and were not designed for the fourth dimension. In the fourth dimension, energy must be used to seal off the extra dimension, otherwise the warship cannot function properly. In particular, some of the machines and equipment inside the warship will become confused and chaotic once they are disturbed by the extra dimension, leading to various accidents.
The design of the Exterminator takes into account the situation of the fourth dimension. Although it still needs to close off the fourth dimension, the location of the closure is already set so as not to affect other parts. It will not forcibly use energy inside the ship like the Reaper, making the ship's interior a mess.
In the fourth dimension, three lines can be drawn perpendicular to a point on a straight line, while in the three-dimensional universe, only two are possible. Therefore, in the fourth dimension, the direction of a warship's movement is no longer forward, backward, left, right, up, or down, but two additional directions. Phenomena like these are difficult to understand in the three-dimensional universe, but become much more intuitive in the fourth dimension.
Academician Zhou has also traveled to the fourth dimension with the ship many times for research. Now, the problem to be solved is not only the positioning problem of returning from the fourth-dimensional space to the three-dimensional universe, but also the communication problem and the problem of higher dimensions.
The preparation time for attacking the Fish Horse Star Civilization is not ample. If these problems can be resolved before launching the attack, the fleet's chances of victory will be greatly increased. Only by mastering these things can humanity truly enter the Great Star Region Civilization. Right now, we are only at a half-baked stage. Perhaps the Fish Horse Star Civilization has already reached this level. Hu Yu always felt that even though the Fish Horse Star Civilization is already the number one Small Star Sector Civilization, they are definitely still hiding their strength.
This time, not only were the production lines busy, but all the academicians were also working overtime. Facing the formidable enemy, the Fish Horse Star Civilization, every little improvement in the fleet's technology would increase their chances of victory. The Fish Horse Star Civilization was the mortal enemy of all mankind. Even the fleet members born later, after reading the fleet's history, all hated the Fish Horse Star Civilization to the core.
The Fish Horse Star Civilization is a disgrace in the fleet's history. To wash away this shame, everyone is working hard. Hu Yu had no choice but to reopen the long-closed industrial planets and have some people work on them. Although these planets no longer have production lines for manufacturing warships, everyone took over all the manual labor that could be done, such as the production of daily necessities and crops, freeing up robots to build more planetary shipbuilding machines and manufacture more warships to attack the Fish Horse Star Civilization and avenge their defeat.
The other civilizations in the alliance soon learned of humanity's plan to attack the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Originally, Hu Yu didn't want them to know, but now that all of humanity knew, the other civilizations in the alliance naturally couldn't be kept in the dark either. Their leaders all approached Hu Yu, requesting to join the attack on the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
Hu Yu didn't explicitly refuse, fearing it would dampen their enthusiasm, so he asked them to accelerate their technological research and build more fleets. At the same time, Hu Yu also gave them a task: to produce as much antimatter as possible, since the spatial collapse caused by the antimatter star explosion of the Xuan Star Civilization last time was truly shocking.
Although Academician Zeng has not yet figured out exactly what happened, this attack effect is undoubtedly the most powerful known attack. Hu Yu hopes to gather the power of nine major technological civilizations to create an antimatter star as large as the Xuan Star Civilization to deal with the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization.
At the same time, Hu Yu also shared the technology of extracting energy from the fourth dimension with several other civilizations in the alliance. The Xuan Star Civilization Carina Civilization had already deciphered the relevant technology shortly after Hu Yu extracted energy from the fourth dimension to create the Fourth Reversed State, but the other civilizations were still somewhat lacking.
Even a fool could see what humans were doing with such a large-scale operation. They even moved some stars to conduct experiments, just like humans. So Hu Yu simply shared this technology with them, since they would master it sooner or later anyway.
