"It is better to cut off one of the enemy's ten fingers than to hurt him."
In this space age, many ancient ideas are outdated and no longer applicable, but some macro-level experience summaries are still applicable.
Although the detailed information of the giant snake has not been successfully discovered, according to the speculation of the academic conference, the strength of each scale on the giant snake is stronger than any material known to mankind, including neutron star material.
These conclusions have also been reflected in previous weapon battles.
Facing those rays and plasma beam weapons, the scales, which are so strong that they almost subvert the laws of physics, can easily withstand them. Materials that are highly dense at the atomic level will not waver in any way even if they are faced with constant bombardment by particles.
.
Unless the kinetic energy reaches a certain level, no matter how many weapons are bombarded, it will be meaningless.
However, since the atomic structure cannot be destroyed at the microscopic level, there is no need to destroy the atomic structure, but directly annihilate the atoms.
"Antimatter weapons."
This extremely ancient substance was discovered and had been used long before the Galactic Era, and served as a star-destroying weapon that exploded across the Earth. However, the exploration of antimatter has never stopped.
Antimatter is a general term for those substances that are contrary to the composition of normal matter, such as positive and negative particles, positive and negative quarks, positive and negative atoms... Today, scholars believe that both positive matter and antimatter actually had the opportunity to form their own universe.
At the beginning of the Big Bang, there were one billion times the number of positron particles in the entire universe today, and an almost equal number of antiparticles. In that unprecedented violent explosion, each positron particle competed with the corresponding antiparticles.
Particles annihilated, thus bursting out with violent energy. In the end, the antiparticles failed by a slim margin of only one billionth, and the remaining positive particles, one billionth of which gradually formed the entire universe.
If it was not the positive particles that won in the beginning, then it is the antiparticles that make up the universe now. The universe today is an antimatter universe filled with countless antimatter, but in that battle, the antiparticles ultimately failed.
Positive and negative particles are like destined natural enemies. When positive and negative particles meet, they can only annihilate together.
Even the black hole that swallows all things actually has a lifespan.
The greedy black hole eats everything in the universe, and also swallows those anti-particles. The strong gravity of the black hole can swallow anti-particles, but the black hole made of positive particles will also become smaller and smaller because of the swallowing of anti-particles, and eventually
Disappeared because of his own greed.
And this is only the most basic application. In the tens of thousands of years of exploration of interstellar civilization, the use of antimatter has become more and more skillful. Even if it can be compared with neutron star material, the "indestructible" scales are not truly indestructible...
…
Numerous weapons collided with the giant snake's body, but the light from the explosion was like blossoming fireworks, beautiful but meaningless.
To the huge giant snake that is tens of millions of miles away, these small explosions are like little ripples on the sea, and it may not even notice it. The giant snake is crawling on the star.
, gnawing greedily, not caring about the explosion on his body.
But it was all just a feint.
Under Tiloan's order, a group of ordinary-looking unmanned machines rushed in.
Rushing forward at sub-light speed, and next to the giant snake, those special devices equipped with micro-engines quickly moved towards the target.
"..."
When the antiparticles bound by the micro-gravity device hit the continent-like scales, only a crater less than the size of a thumb was blasted out on the smooth, mirror-like continent. But if someone observes carefully,
Then you will realize that under that small pit, there is a tiny wound that is hundreds of meters deep and less than 5 microns in diameter.
At the microscopic level, the closely connected positive atoms are like a neatly arranged army. There are no gaps between them, and no force can break through this encirclement. However, those rushing towards them are not trying to break into them.
Other positive atoms, but the anti-atoms that risk their own lives just to die with them...
The antimatter under precise control broke through the heavy siege composed of positive matter and opened a long and narrow channel.
And this is just the beginning.
Within millions of kilometers nearby, numerous drones were like mosquitoes that smelled blood, and they all aimed their weapons accurately at this small crater.
Every time, those anti-matter weapons would drill a thin hole on the thick and solid scales based on the predecessors. The small hole formed a big hole, and then continued to drill small holes deep in the gap.
hole.
The mountain isolates the two worlds. People outside the mountain want to enter, but the mountain does not allow them.
Although human strength could not move the mountain, they were unwilling to climb over it, so they drilled tunnels between the majestic mountainside.
There is no need to crush the entire solid scale, which is as large as a continent and has a thickness of more than a million kilometers. It only needs to drill a small hole with a diameter of less than a millimeter but extremely deep on the scale.
When the giant snake moved forward at nearly the speed of light, although interstellar humans were aware of the flaw in the "indestructible" scales, they were unable to implement it because of its speed. Even if the position was slightly different, they could not aim at the tiny wound.
Only after the giant snake was dragged down by a layer of gravitational defenses could this tactic, like Foolish Old Man moving mountains, be implemented.
At this moment, such a scene is taking place among the scales. Those huge and solid scales are being besieged by billions of massive drones.
One thousand meters...
Ten thousand meters...
One hundred thousand meters...
Millions of meters...
Thousands of meters...
…
The greedy and violent monster entangled itself on the stars, gnawing at the stars beneath it. It was surrounded by countless tiny dust particles, but it did not care about it. It was not aware that on its own scales, one by one, as small as dust, was being destroyed.
The drone drilled a small hole.
Suddenly, the monster that was eating the star stopped, and the next moment, it felt a rare pain.
"Roar!!!"
There should be no sound in the vast space, but there was an invisible wave above the star. It was a strange power similar to psychic energy, and the giant snake fell into rage.
"efficient!"
Inside the spaceship, some generals cheered.
Immediately afterwards, another device that had been lying dormant for a long time was also released.
"Gravity generating device".
At a certain period of time, the use of force fields as a source of weapons was very popular among the interstellar forces, but in the end, simple and crude explosive weapons became the mainstream, but this period also left many interesting things.
By giving everything mass, the Higgs boson creates an effect similar to a black hole.
This is a weapon used to restrain the giant beast and prevent it from trying to escape.
However, when this weapon is released, it means that the generals should retreat. Otherwise, when it really takes effect, the gravity in this area will be unimaginable. If they don't run, not even the generals will be able to run away.
dropped.
At this moment, some people are even imagining the scene after capturing the giant snake.
However……
Tilloan did not celebrate with everything. The success of anti-matter weapons did not mean anything. He always had a deep memory of the invisible disintegration of all drones within 1.4 billion kilometers. In his opinion, this may have just begun.
Every time during the test, a strange phenomenon often occurs at a certain moment, which is accompanied by a flash of white light, and then all images disappear, leaving only the shattered unmanned machinery in place.
What that light was, no one knew, and Tilloan didn't like the unknown.
Just as Tilloan was thinking about it, an image came to him.
"General Tiloan, prepare to retreat temporarily and start the second phase of the battle."
In front of him, the fleet commander's expression seemed to be very happy, but before Tiloan could respond, under the gaze of many spaceships, the angry giant snake's pupils that were originally opening and closing suddenly opened.
It's hard to describe what kind of vertical pupils it is.
In the open pupil, the too transparent vertical pupil seemed to reflect the colors of the entire universe. Deep in the pupil, a little light emerged.
bright?
Before a thought could emerge, the next moment, Tiloan seemed to notice that a psychic warrior beside him moved.
In front of me, the happy-looking fleet commander, the suddenly alert psychic warrior, the spaceship in front of me, the dark and silent universe... everything was distorted and broken, and only the cold pupils became clearer and clearer in the blurred consciousness.
Immediately, the consciousness solidified...
In space, a huge giant snake wraps around the star and gnaws at it.
Within hundreds of millions of kilometers around the star, there are scattered spacecraft parts and the occasional scattered remains of human corpses.
After a while, the huge monster opened its mouth and swallowed the half-eaten star into its belly. No longer paying attention to the traces of the remains, the giant snake continued to fly towards the distant space.
…
"how so……"
Tilloan felt that his consciousness was blurred and he could not even feel his body.
"..."
The remaining psychic energy seemed to sense something, but it was too vague to tell what it was.
I don't know how much time passed in this drowsiness, but it seemed like some distant voice was calling me.
"Tilloan...General Tilloan...Tilloan..."
The sound moved from far to near, and finally became clear.
"Tilloan!"
In an instant, the huge spiritual energy wave woke him up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a strange ceiling and strange people in front of him.
"You're awake, General Tilloan."
Looking in front of me with some confusion, this seems to be a life body research center, but isn't this usually a place for people who undergo genetic modification surgeries?
As if aware of Tilloan's confusion, the mature and beautiful woman in front of her apologized.
"I'm sorry, but when you were teleported back... there was only one head left, so you can only regenerate your body here."
"...?"
After a while, Tiloan realized what had happened while he was unconscious.
In the Far Walker galaxy, all spaceships were destroyed.
The situation was almost exactly the same. All the spaceships were turned into broken and twisted wreckage, and even the human body was twisted into a strange mass of minced meat. Only Tiloan was teleported back to the nearby galaxy, which was the planned place for emergency teleportation.
Although Tiloan was teleported back with only one head left, the Life Form Research Center still saved Tiloan.
"Now, the only one who survives is you. General Tilloan, please tell me what you saw."
A sector commander of the Second Republic, he was always a serious person, looking closely at Tiloan in front of him.
Tiloan lowered his head. He did not use psychic communication, but murmured in a low voice.
