Fish Horse Star are in a frenzy and cannot be two-dimensional. They wouldn't even consider something that attacks at the speed of light. Besides, this thing can only be used in three-dimensional space. Four-dimensional space is stable, so even if an antimatter star were moved to the fourth dimension, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Therefore, even though these Great Star Region Civilization knew that the power of spatial collapse was immense, they did not study antimatter. They also did not expect that antimatter planets could cause such an effect.
For them, antimatter is merely an outdated method of energy utilization. This is true not only for these Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, but also for Hu Yu's region. If it weren't for the fact that two-dimensional antimatter has some effects, they might not have deployed antimatter in large quantities.
On the contrary, Virtual Matter is more effective, but the extraction speed of Virtual Matter is really a headache. It requires extracting those particles that disappear in an instant from a true vacuum, which is tens of thousands of times more difficult than producing antimatter with a micro particle accelerator. Even after so many years, the production of Virtual Matter is still a problem.
The 20 spatial black holes were rapidly expanding. As time went on, the diameters of these black holes grew larger and larger, and their destructive area also grew larger and larger. It only took the black holes a little over three seconds to expand to 1 million kilometers. The 20 spatially collapsing black holes expanded in three dimensions at the same time. In just over ten seconds, the Fish Horse Star fleet, which did not have time to react, was swallowed up by hundreds of billions of ships, and this number was still increasing rapidly.
The three-dimensional Fish Horse Star warship was completely unable to detect the existence of the spatial black hole because the speed of light and the speed of spatial collapse are the same. The light had already been swallowed up and could not transmit information. However, the fourth-dimensional Fish Horse Star warship quickly realized that something was wrong.
The fourth-dimensional warships immediately transmitted the information to the Fish Horse Star warships in the three-dimensional universe. For a moment, these warships were at a loss as to what to do. The Fish Horse Star Civilization did not make the mistake of delayed information transmission. On one of the Fish Horse Star Civilization warships in the fourth dimension was the commander of the Fish Horse Star fleet. The commander immediately gave the order to abandon the three-dimensional battlefield and enter the fourth dimension.
However, from the moment the space collapsed to the time the four-dimensional warship detected the anomaly, and then to the time the commander made this decision and relayed it to the fleet, nearly 30 seconds had passed. In the interstellar battlefield, sometimes ten years is not a long time, but sometimes a second becomes extremely precious. Now the black hole caused by the space collapse has expanded to 9 million kilometers.
Now it was the Conqueror and Endeavor' turn to fight back. Although the remaining Conqueror and Endeavor totaled less than 300 billion, the total losses exceeded 900 billion. This was the result of the Fish Horse Star fleet's battle in less than ten minutes. However, these warships still unleashed their strongest attacks. Even if these attacks could not damage the Fish Horse Star warships, they could still disrupt space and delay their entry into the fourth dimension.
The continuous bursts of four-dimensional space surged into the center of the Fish Horse Star fleet, exploding and shattering space to the maximum extent possible, thus buying time. The longer the time was delayed, the greater the impact of the spatial collapse attack would be. The Fish Horse Star fleet was also getting anxious. Suddenly, all the Fish Horse Star warships abandoned their attempts to disturb space. They realized that under these circumstances, it was impossible for human two-dimensional warships to appear, so they began to release enormous amounts of energy to upgrade space to a higher dimension.
Soon, a four-dimensional structure appeared in space. Although the spatial collapse did not stop destroying the space upon contact with the four-dimensional space, it could only destroy three-dimensional space. As a result, the spatial collapse continued, but it did not advance. As to which three dimensions were being destroyed, it was no longer important and no longer posed a threat to the Fish Horse Star fleet.
The remaining Conqueror and Endeavor seized the opportunity to enter the fourth dimension. Previously, the fourth dimension was blocked, and even if they entered, they would be attacked by the Fish Horse Star fleet. Now, the Fish Horse Star fleet has taken the initiative to open up a dimension in three-dimensional space, which is equivalent to leaving themselves a way out in four-dimensional space.
With the human and Xuan Star Civilization fleets withdrawing and space stabilizing, the Fish Horse Star fleet also rushed into the fourth dimension. The two sides began to fight in the fourth dimension. This spatial collapse caused the Fish Horse Star fleet to lose more than three trillion warships again. If these warships had been destroyed by the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but now they were destroyed by the vulnerable humans, which made the Fish Horse Star Civilization leader even more furious.
Humanity has repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on them, significantly diminishing the effectiveness of its wars to establish its dominance. In contrast, humanity has only lost 800 billion warships, while the Xuan Star Civilization has lost just over 100 billion.
"The First Leader discovered the human settlement base by tracking residual four-dimensional network fluctuations."
Kill! Leave no one alive!
Hu Yu was not unaware of the possibility of the four-dimensional network being tracked, but this incident happened too suddenly, and Hu Yu was not at the Tree Race base, so there were many things that needed to be directed and handled. Therefore, the four-dimensional network was still in use until the first fleet of Fish Horse Star arrived, and these channels were not completely cut off until Ninety-Seven concealed his space.
The current Conqueror no longer require human intervention. With the coordination of senior generals like Hu Yu, the Superintelligent Robot can replace humans in combat operations, and are more efficient and have a lower error rate. The Conqueror near the Tree Race base have been handed over to Gao Jianchuan and Li Zhixiong for command within the Tree Race, and all links between the Solar System and the Tree Race have been severed.
Unaware that the Fish Horse Star Civilization had tracked him to the Tree Race base, Hu Yu Hu Yu, along with a group of high-ranking generals and the commander of the Xuan Star Civilization, had already transferred to a Two-Dimensional Conqueror. All the Conqueror were connected through a four-dimensional network. This ship was inconspicuous, but for the safety of the base, Hu Yu had no choice but to take the risk.
Now only the Conqueror are left to face the Fish Horse Star Fleet alone. The fourth dimension is not only more vast but also more stable, making it much harder for the Fish Horse Star Fleet to reduce the fourth dimension to three dimensions. Even if they were to attempt dimensional reduction, they could not do so over a large area. The Conqueror are already widely distributed in the fourth dimension, making it impossible for the Fish Horse Star Fleet to reduce such a large area of space to a lower dimension.
However, more than half of the Conqueror have lost their two-dimensional structure, making it impossible for them to return to the industrial base in the fourth dimension. Not only would it be too late, but it would also expose the existence of the industrial base. The industrial base is a vital foundation for humanity, and losing it would be equivalent to regressing tens of thousands of years.
The Conqueror are no longer fighting against the Fish Horse Star fleet; their mission is simply to let the Fish Horse Star fleet attack. Once all the civilizations in the alliance have moved to safety, the Conqueror ' mission will be complete. Therefore, the Conqueror do not need to confront the Fish Horse Star fleet head-on. Hu Yu simply instructs the Conqueror to fight and retreat simultaneously, trying to delay the Fish Horse Star fleet as much as possible.
