The high-speed collision of two Great Star Region Civilization' warships would inevitably result in mutual destruction. Although there are certain differences in technology, the kinetic energy generated by the massive warships flying at high speeds and exploding at a single point has an energy that far exceeds that of a dimensional reduction attack, which is more of a three-dimensional attack.
Large attack range, high energy density, and great destructive power are the characteristics of dimensional reduction attacks. If a dimensional reduction attack is a stellar explosion, then the high-speed collision of two Great Star Region Civilization warships is like using a hammer the size of the Earth to hammer a nail, except that the collision usually results in mutual destruction.
By the time the Great Star Region Civilization reached its stage, materials technology had advanced to an incredible level. Even if a Great Star Region Civilization warship collided with a planet or star while flying at high speed, it would not be the Great Star Region Civilization warship that was damaged. Only when warships of the same level collided could they destroy each other.
The Dark Moon Civilization's first echelon consisted of only 5 trillion warships. Upon receiving the order, these warships immediately moved out of the defensive perimeter and charged straight at the menacing Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet.
Seeing the Dark Moon Civilization fleet charging towards them in a suicidal manner, the Fish Horse Star fleet slightly slowed its attack. However, the Fish Horse Star Civilization commander quickly realized that the number of Dark Moon Civilization warships charging towards them did not pose a threat to their operations, so the Fish Horse Star fleet resumed its advance.
Under the command of the central computer Dark Moon Civilization warships immediately formulated the optimal attack route for each warship. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. A distance of millions of kilometers was just a blink of an eye in front of these high-speed warships.
In the final second, the two massive steel behemoths finally collided violently. The Dark Moon Civilization warship did not directly ram the Fish Horse Star warship. In the last 0.01 seconds, one of the Dark Moon Civilization warships slightly changed its course, and this slight change caused it to graz the side of the Fish Horse Star warship.
The side impact did not diminish its enormous kinetic energy much. Immediately afterwards, it collided with a nearby Fish Horse Star warship. The Fish Horse Star warship was instantly pierced by the Dark Moon Civilization warship, and both warships exploded violently, turning into countless fragments that sped away in space.
The Fish Horse Star warship that was brushed past the Dark Moon Civilization warship was not destroyed. The Dark Moon Civilization warship only left a gash tens of kilometers long on its hull. Its armor was damaged, its direction of travel was changed, and it crashed into another Fish Horse Star warship next to it.
The two warships slowed down due to the impact, and were quickly struck by warships behind them that were unable to slow down in time. Multiple warships collided violently, much like a chain-reaction car accident on a highway. Although the terrifying kinetic energy did not completely destroy the warships, it caused severe damage to their interiors.
No matter how powerful the Fish Horse Star warships were, their internal structures were always relatively vulnerable. Just then, a Dark Moon Civilization warship crashed into the scene of the chain collision and self-destructed. The Fish Horse Star warships already had defensive cracks, and now with the Dark Moon Civilization warship self-destructing next to them, several Fish Horse Star warships turned into huge balls of light.
This scene was playing out everywhere in the Fish Horse Star fleet. If the Fish Horse Star warships hadn't been so eager to achieve their goal and maintained such a dense formation, the Dark Moon Civilization warships would hardly have achieved such a great offensive result. And all of this had already been simulated in the Dark Moon Civilization's central computer.
However, the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet was not truly crippled, because the Dark Moon Civilization fleet only attacked the vanguard of the Fish Horse Star fleet. The middle and rear ships slowed down and changed course in time, effectively preventing the Dark Moon Civilization from causing more serious consequences for the fleet.
The phased collision operation was completed. The Dark Moon Civilization used 5 trillion warships in a suicide attack to reduce 8 trillion warships of the Fish Horse Star to ashes. This result exceeded the Dark Moon Civilization's computer simulation results. However, the Fish Horse Star Civilization still had more than 4 billion warships, almost three times the number of the Dark Moon Civilization.
This small victory cannot truly stop the Fish Horse Star Civilization, nor does the Dark Moon Civilization commander expect such an effect, because the Dark Moon leader is leading the fleet on its way to the base. The most important thing now is to buy time for the leader, who, based on the leader's speed of progress, will arrive within three to five days at the latest.
The Fish Horse Star fleet is now less than 5 light-years away from the Dark Moon Civilization's planetary ships. Although the inhabitant planetary ships have been retreating, they dare not stray too far from the main fleet. 5 light-years may seem like a long distance, especially with the shattered space separating them, but the Fish Horse Star Civilization's powerful warships can still maintain speeds of thousands of times the speed of light in the shattered space.
Five light-years away, it would only take a little over a day to reach. This collision gave the Dark Moon Civilization less than 24 hours. The Dark Moon Civilization commander had no choice but to send his fleet forward again, following the endless stream of Virtual Matter weapons he had mobilized, to block the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet.
With two light-years remaining, the Fish Horse Star Civilization had abandoned the Space Millstone. All its warships were concentrated, and they advanced at full speed, completely disregarding the consequences of being destroyed by the Virtual Matter weapon. No matter how the Dark Moon Civilization fleet attacked, the Fish Horse Star fleet paid no heed and headed straight for the planetary spaceship that had already been locked on.
The commander of the Dark Moon Civilization, who was exhausted from dealing with the situation, discovered that another fleet from the Fish Horse Star had circled around and blocked the retreat routes of the inhabitants' planetary ships from multiple directions. The Fish Horse Star fleet was getting closer and closer, advancing unstoppably and about to break through the last line of defense.
The commander was considering whether to enter the fourth dimension. He still had dimensional control over this airspace, but the Fish Horse Star fleet was advancing relentlessly, and his control over the dimension was dwindling. If he opened the fourth dimension, he would have to escape before the Fish Horse Star fleet arrived, but the chances of that were slim.
Just as the commander was caught in a dilemma, a joint fleet composed of five Great Star Region Civilization arrived at the fourth dimension of the Dark Moon Civilization base. All civilizations had witnessed the formidable defenses of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships; even if the entire ship were to be reduced to a lower dimension, it might not be able to completely destroy the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships.
Ordinary dimensional reduction attacks are like tickling the Fish Horse Star warships. These warships form a huge sphere in the fourth dimension, large enough to encompass most of the Fish Horse Star warships. This is a joint attack method newly developed to deal with the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
Since single-target attacks no longer pose a significant threat to the Fish Horse Star warships, even if the Fish Horse Star warships are destroyed in the fourth dimension, the warships of the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization are still of lower quality than those of the Fish Horse Star victory.
