By integrating the dimensional technology of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, and with the help of Academician Liu, Academician Zhou made a breakthrough in the problem of warships operating in the fourth dimension. The fourth dimension is a peculiar space. It is not an extension of three-dimensional space, but rather a more expansive space that includes the three-dimensional universe.
The three-dimensional universe is hidden within four-dimensional space, just as the three-dimensional universe can contain two-dimensional space. However, two-dimensional space cannot be discovered in the three-dimensional universe through normal means. Only when something happens in two-dimensional space, such as lighting a fire, will the three-dimensional universe discover the two-dimensional space where the fire is located. The same applies to four-dimensional space. These fires are like coordinate base stations.
If a civilization is two-dimensional, and it wants to fight against an enemy's two-dimensional warships after entering the three-dimensional universe, the technology it needs most is how to hit the enemy ships that are moving around in three-dimensional space. To put it bluntly, it is how to aim. The missile interception system of the Earth era basically represents the highest technology of that era for locating two high-speed flying objects in three-dimensional space.
Humans, as three-dimensional beings, find it extremely difficult to locate themselves in three-dimensional space. Mid Planet-Level level that civilizations can completely solve this problem, let alone two-dimensional beings. Furthermore, entering the fourth dimension from three dimensions is countless times more difficult and complex than entering the third dimension from two dimensions.
No matter how you attack when moving from two dimensions to three dimensions, as long as you fire forward, you won't be hit. But it's different when moving from three dimensions to four dimensions. If you're not careful, the attack might return to you through another dimension.
Besides the positioning problem, there is also the defense problem. The extra dimension will cause many strange situations. However, the Exterminator has perfectly solved this problem. Academician Zeng presided over the design of the Exterminator. There are many seemingly useless and huge components in the Exterminator. When these components enter the fourth dimension, they can physically seal off the fourth dimension with proper adjustments, so that no attack can affect the interior of the warship.
Although the technology for combat in the fourth dimension has been solved, fleets that initially could only navigate simply in the fourth dimension can now freely travel through the space without getting lost and can also attack each other. However, attacks in the fourth dimension can only be carried out by computers or controlled by Superintelligent Robot for the time being. The fixed mindset of three-dimensional beings cannot flexibly control warfare in the fourth dimension.
In the fourth dimension, speed advantage doesn't have much impact on war. Besides one's own strength, strategy is what influences war, just like playing flags.
When enemy warships attack, friendly warships can choose to immediately appear in any three-dimensional location of the enemy, and the enemy can do the same. They can not only appear in any three-dimensional location of the friendly forces, but also easily break out of the encirclement. Although the extra dimension can also be used for interception or encirclement, the space is too vast. Unless the fleet has a huge number of ships, it is difficult to blockade all four dimensions. In the three-dimensional universe, it would take tens or hundreds of times more warships than the enemy to encircle them. In the fourth dimension, the number of warships needed to encircle them would be even greater.
Wen Zhonghua has already led a group of generals to the fourth dimension for simulated combat exercises. Ordinary people may not understand the rules of fourth-dimensional combat, but as commanders, they must be familiar with these rules and apply them flexibly. Hu Yu knows that these people's heads will explode and their hair will fall out soon. That extra dimension will not stop until it has thoroughly tormented these commanders.
Five years after the arrival of the Yun San Civilization, the Alliance dispatched a joint fleet of 300 billion warships to join the defensive operations. This fleet mainly consisted of the fleets of the six civilizations that came from the Insect Zone Carina Civilization. The Reaper deployed 20 billion ships. The Xuan Star Civilization had no fleet available and naturally could not participate in the defensive operations. After completing Hu Yu's mission, the Aquila Civilization's fleet looted a large amount of technology and left, but now they could return to the Alliance at any time.
Hu Yu had originally hoped that the Aquila Civilization would provide a portion of its fleet to the defense line, but these kids didn't care about the insects at all. In their words, having a little more or less of their fleet wouldn't make a difference, and they couldn't bear to send their hard-earned fleet to the insects' mouths.
Hu Yu didn't force them. Building a fleet is no easy feat. The alliance has deployed 300 billion warships, which is already a third of their strength. These civilizations have also worked hard to build up their fleets, and anyone would feel the pain of losing them. If it weren't for the interception of the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization and the technology tree of the Gemini Civilization, these civilizations would have had to redesign their original warships, and they would probably have felt a great deal of heartache.
The construction of the Exterminator Fleet has been entirely transferred to the fourth dimension. The fourth dimension has abundant energy, which can not only meet the needs of building warships, but Hu Yu can also secretly use energy collisions to extract more two-dimensional Basic Space. The warships have never undergone two-dimensionalization because Hu Yu dares not do so, but the weapons can be used secretly. Now that the fleet is constantly developing and progressing, it will not be long before the warships are two-dimensionalized. At that time, even if the fleets of the Great Star Region Civilization arrive, we will have nothing to fear.
The Xuan Star Civilization is also preparing to build a fleet in the fourth dimension. They have designed a new warship called the Endeavor. The Purger has completed its mission, and combined with the latest technology, the new warship Endeavor has also shown some characteristics of the Great Star Region Civilization.
Seeing the progress of the Xuan Star Civilization, Hu Yu couldn't help but admire the old man's foresight. In recent years, the development of the Xuan Star Civilization has been no less than that of humanity. Humanity has even received some help from the old man, while the Xuan Star Civilization has developed steadily step by step.
The leaders of the Carina Civilization also moved their base to a location less than a thousand light-years from the Solar System. This time, Argo Navis was finally united. Their base, which was originally hidden in curved space, no longer needed to be. Tens of thousands of planets now wandered in a space spanning more than two hundred light-years.
This time, Hu Yu provided the technology tree of the Gemini Civilization and the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization to every Small Star Sector Civilization in the Alliance. Now, these civilizations are all working hard to analyze these technologies, and it is estimated that in just two or three thousand years, every civilization in the Alliance will reach the Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization.
Besides human technology, Hu Yu has never been stingy with the technology of other civilizations. Of course, these technologies are also the result of the efforts of each civilization in the alliance. For example, in the battle against the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization, although other civilizations in the alliance did not directly participate in the battle, they created the antimatter star, a powerful weapon, and provided most of the endless array of weapons used by the fleet. Their names should rightfully be on the list of merits.
