That battle in the ‘Deep Valley Galaxy’ might be a great battle worthy of being recorded in the history of the Milky Way.
While most of the Milky Way civilizations were pushing forward the progress of the ‘fungus control’ behind the defense line, the defense fleet in that place had launched an earth-shattering battle with the ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’
As the name suggested, the ‘Deep Valley Galaxy’ was located in a ‘valley path-like’ interstellar position. It was a ‘gateway’ galaxy.
Even if they could bypass that place and advance from other galaxies, the cost would be more than ten times.
The hyperspace channel did not necessarily connect every galaxy to each other.
The Milky Way had discovered more than once that some galaxies that were very close to each other in terms of celestial distance and should have been connected by a hyperspace channel were surprisingly not connected by a hyperspace channel.
A person only needed to carry out hyper space navigation once, but in reality, he had to travel through four or five galaxies in the Milky Way before he could finally reach that place that was ‘close at hand.’
Although the scientists in the Milky Way had more or less guessed that the hyperspace channel was built by an ancient civilization, if that was the case, they wanted to ask why the creators did it in the first place.
The galaxies near the ‘Deep Valley Galaxy’ were in such a position, and the only other galaxies that were relatively close were temporarily blocked by the toxic gas prepared in advance.
That toxin had been proven to be effective against ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’ In order to create a large amount of toxic gas that could maintain a sufficient density even at a distance of several astronomical units, many robots had been scrapped on the production line.
Now, that batch of toxic gas that temporarily blocked the hyperspace channel was already the full amount that the Milky Way civilizations could take out at the moment. All of it was used in that battle.
They had indeed been pretty effective in blocking the spread of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’ A large number of ‘Caterpillar Fungus Lifeform Fleets’ began to flood into the trap that had been set in advance – the ‘Deep Valley Galaxy.’
The garrison there was a temporary federation led by a first-tier civilization. They were not only the second batch of civilization to be attacked by the ‘caterpillar fungus disease,’ but they also shouldered many responsibilities.
They needed to stall enough time there to test the killing effect of the new weapon on the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ and get more corpse samples.
There were already many clues regarding the research of ‘caterpillar fungus disease,’ but the key problem had not been solved.
Based on the information they knew so far, the ‘civilization’ formed by the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ did not have any ability to communicate.
It was very likely that the fungi had no intelligence at all and were expanding chaotically based on their instincts. They were not aware of the ‘gateway’ nodes on the star map.
They might have sent more people to replenish their manpower because of the massive damage in the ‘Deep Valley Galaxy,’ but they would never attack that place just because they realized that it was the ‘key point.’
It turned out that that guess was correct. There was no difference between the ‘caterpillar fungus fleet’ that came to the ‘Deep Valley Galaxy’ and the ones that invaded other galaxies.
At the edge of the galaxy were a large number of booby-trapped mines. Knowing that the strange fungi had a powerful healing effect on corpses, those booby-trapped mines were made with the most powerful explosives.
Many of them were antiques from thousands of years ago. It had been a long time since the space booby-trapped mines appeared in the battle, but they did not expect to be revived in the battle against the ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’
The main battle formation led by the Titan Battleship was docked in a safe position in the galaxy. All the main cannons had already been charged.
As soon as the ‘Caterpillar Fungus Lifeform Fleets’ appeared, those main battleships would launch a salvo, causing the first round of casualties to the ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’
Even if 80% of the casualties could be resurrected after a period of time, it would still take up the time of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease,’ and stalling time was also an important goal.
Other than that, the small interstellar defense turrets and the other ‘battle fleets’ there were all equipped with ‘virus missiles,’ which were explosive weapons that had a ‘300%’ killing effect on those fungi to cause heavy damage to the enemy.
The large-scale interstellar defense turrets near the stars were loaded with the latest research result of the ‘Galaxy Community’ – the Matter Separator.
It was one of the technologies extracted from the legacy left by the ‘Silent.’ The original ‘Galaxy Community’ was dedicated to discovering the lost production technology and improving the overall development efficiency of the Milky Way civilization.
However, the sudden ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ crisis caused the focus of research to shift. The weapons used by those high-dimensional lifeforms were eventually analyzed and controlled by the civilizations of that dimension, and they were used to fight against the new ‘natural disaster.’
That kind of ‘high-dimensional weapon’ that caused damage by defying the laws of physics could cause fatal damage to the ‘Caterpillar Fungus Lifeform Fleets.’
Any object that was directly hit would evaporate into thin air. With a few more hits, a corpse would lose more than 98% of its matter.
That was undoubtedly extremely disadvantageous to the fungi that needed to suture the corpse, not to mention that the fungi would also ‘evaporate’ under the light of the Matter Separator.
Thus, the defense of the ‘Deep Valley Galaxy’ had a good start at the beginning of the battle. It was a scene that seemed familiar.
In the meantime, the ‘Matter Separator’ had been proven to be highly effective in killing the ‘Caterpillar Fungus Lifeform Fleets.’ More observation data and improved conjectures had been uploaded to the ‘Galaxy Community..’
