Chapter 764: Chapter 641: Destroying Geometric Civilization is as Easy as Swatting a Bug!
“This is impossible!”
A sudden exclamation interrupted the discussion; the speaker was a leading scientific researcher from a geometric civilization.
Previously, after establishing communication with their home world, the administrator Mony had sent the neutron ball through wormhole technology with Lynn’s permission.
Regarding this ‘gift’ from the Magic Empire, the disk leaders naturally placed great importance on it, so they had it examined immediately. The result revealed that the material of this object was nothing special, just a larger cluster of neutrons, something that geometric civilization’s current technology could also achieve after some effort.
The only thing worth mentioning was the anti-gravity technology on the outer layer, which allowed ordinary carbon-based life forms to handle a neutron ball as massive as a giant peak without being crushed. This led to the immediate assembly of top scientific researchers from the geometric civilization to study it.
“Have there been any new discoveries?” The supreme leader highly valued this matter. He didn’t believe it was merely a simple gift. Since it had been sent by the interstellar governor, it certainly held a deeper meaning.
The researchers responsible for the examination were very excited, “The range of the Strong Nuclear Force inside this neutron ball has reached a full five hundred times the atomic distance!”
Upon hearing this, the geometric beings present were utterly astonished.
Although some of the disk leaders were not from scientific backgrounds, thanks to genetic engineering, they could receive information through photon brains directly, so concepts like the range of Strong Nuclear Force, which was common knowledge, were clearly understood by them, typically ranging between one atomic distance and one ten-thousandth of an atomic distance.
This atomic distance was derived based on the diameter of the hydrogen atom, the smallest in the atomic series.
Similarly, the time unit used by the geometric civilization—atomic second—was also determined by the natural energy level transition frequency of the hydrogen element.
This standardized their interactions with different civilizations, avoiding complications due to varying time units. Even for weaker planetary civilizations, the atomic second was easily measurable.
“So you’re saying the Magic Empire’s technology can directly influence the Strong Nuclear Force itself?” The supreme leader’s tone was extremely grave, with his emitted electromagnetic waves being intermittent.
The geometric civilization could also manufacture neutron balls, but frankly, it was only an application of cosmic rules by forcibly reducing the distance between protons or neutrons so that they combine tightly together.
Naturally formed atomic nuclei were created in this manner; they were merely replicating the process, leveraging the power of the rules themselves.
However, the other party’s approach involved altering the rules themselves. Even if it was just the basic extension of the range of strong interaction, it proved that the Magic Empire had the capacity to directly manipulate the Strong Nuclear Force!
This meant that their pride and reliance on artificial black holes, perhaps, wasn’t as intimidating as previously thought.
A civilization proficient in dimensional research and capable of controlling the Strong Nuclear Force was very likely also capable of creating and defending against black hole attacks.
As for why they hadn’t used it in previous wars, there were many possibilities, with the most despairing being the beast-fight theory.
The battle with the fleet of the geometric civilization might have seemed to the Magic Empire merely a test to evaluate the combat capabilities of high-dimensional biological weapons, much like a fight in an arena. As long as they eventually emerged victorious, the masters wouldn’t personally intervene.
“Gift… gift…” The supreme leader gazed at the neutron ball held by a researcher in the center of the conference hall, suddenly realizing why, after proposing to ‘purchase’ the element number seven, they specifically handed this object to Mony to bring back.
This was clearly to put them at ease!
Element number seven was a treasure of Geometric civilization. When the other party initially proposed it as compensation, some leaders strongly opposed, considering it a foolish decision to give away such a trump card.
As the top researchers said, the potential of element number seven was far from fully realized. Holding onto it might provide a chance for a scientific breakthrough that could surpass others thousands of years later.
But once handed over, the Magic Empire, knowing the secrets of element number seven, would become even harder to deal with and might even annihilate them to acquire more of it.
Now, however, those leaders no longer harbored such thoughts because the technology displayed by the other side was too terrifying. A tenfold difference in time flow meant there was no possibility for the geometric civilization to ever defeat them without a miracle.
The meaning of the ‘gift’ sent by the other side was all too clear—with the current technological level of the Magic Empire, destroying the geometric civilization would be as easy as swatting a bug!
If they wisely engaged in ‘trade’ and satisfied the Magic Empire’s interest in element number seven, they could maintain peace; if not, they would face utter annihilation.
In a sense, it truly was the best gift!
“Supreme leader, I have another matter to report,” Mony said, noticing the prolonged silence in the conference hall and cautiously bringing up the fact that he had secretly stored some magic power.
He had initially thought of using the opportunity when the wormhole opened to send it back, but this was highly risky. If discovered, it would amount to the theft of critical strategic information, resulting in the execution of the remaining geometric beings on planet 1700, and potentially even sparking a war between the two civilizations.
Without confirmation from their home world, he naturally didn’t dare take the risk.
Hearing that Mony had successfully obtained some magic power, the disk leaders in attendance were somewhat envious. The uniqueness of magic power had been evident from the data transmitted earlier and was undoubtedly a more advanced energy source than element number seven, likely related even to the Magic Empire’s dimensional technology.
“You should have been more decisive; opening the wormhole was clearly the best opportunity!” the oval-shaped disk leader said regretfully.
Opening a wormhole within a planet couldn’t possibly be kept hidden from the Magic Empire, so this ‘gift-giving’ might have been the only chance!
However, it was ultimately lost due to Mony’s hesitation, which was somewhat unfortunate.
Still, since the opportunity had already been missed and considering it involved the survival of a civilization, it was a significant decision that not just anyone could make, so it was unfair to blame Mony.
After further discussion, soon someone proposed a second plan—to transport the magic power out during the next exchange of compensation!
