“We too are foreign affairs personnel and aren’t familiar with these specialized subjects. How about we exchange information about our respective universe alliances?”
Upon seeing the message from the other side, Zhao Yu let out a small smile, confidently accepting the offer.
Before setting off, he had carefully studied the exchange list of the Moro fleet and found a strange detail.
Most of the items on the exchange list were weapon technologies, with only a small part devoted to life-sustaining technologies.
Notably, there were no entertainment technology products, and even the lifestyle technologies were limited to basic necessities.
It seemed as if the people of the Moro fleet spent their everyday lives training with simulators, without any form of entertainment.
After careful analysis, Zhao Yu hypothesized that the Moro fleet might have been specifically bred for combat by the Glen civilization.
From a young age, they learned only war-related skills, and all other forms of entertainment were denied to them.
Given this situation, they might have never read any science fiction novels. So, in a bluffing contest, he might be able to fool them effectively.
Soon, another message came through.
“Our Glen civilization is in a middle-ranking position among the 77 civilizations in the cosmic federation, and our technological level is quite limited. I was fortunate enough to visit a place called Seth civilization once…”
“They have a nano-blade that can cut objects as small as cells, invisible to the naked eye. Even the spaceship I am riding cannot withstand the sharpness of a nano-blade. One swipe, and it would split open…”
Zhao Yu smiled and did not think too much about it. He switched to text compilation and started typing. After typing a few words, he pressed send.
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, didn’t give it much thought, switched to text translation, and began typing. After writing a flurry of characters, he hit send.
“Seth, I didn’t expect you to be so imaginative. A nano-blade? You could think of that!”
Miro surprisingly complimented, at the same time snatching the documents from Seth’s hands, saying, “Let me have a go…”
Seth did not argue, and laughed, “Let’s see what they have to say about this. The nano-blade, according to scientific conjecture, requires at least a tech level of a 3.0 civilization…”
Just then, Zhao Yu’s message appeared on the screen.
“Your nano-blades are impressive, but I have also been to the Huaxia Cosmic Alliance. On a visit to a civilization called Yin Merchant, I saw a type of proton weapon…”
“It can unfold a nine-dimensional proton in a two-dimensional way and modify it through circuit etching…”
“Finally, it upgrades this two-dimensional proton to ten dimensions. Wherever it is sent, all particles in that galaxy will be affected, making any real research and application impossible…”
“It is truly a formidable weapon for blocking technology!”
“Proton weapon?!!”
Everyone was shocked.
Seth couldn’t quite believe it. He trembled as he said, “This proton weapon, it can change dimensions, alter particles… If they were to strike us with this, our particle black hole would be useless?!”
“What’s this about ten dimensions, nine dimensions?”
Miro, not understanding these concepts, didn’t grasp the frightening power of the proton weapon. He flipped through some scientific hypotheses, picked one he could comprehend, and sent it over.
On the other side, Zhao Yu received the message.
“We once visited a civilization called the Milo Civilization. They have a weapon there, capable of colliding antimatter with matter under magnetic constraint, resulting in annihilation…”
“Supposedly, a small amount of antimatter can destroy an entire planet, a larger amount, an entire galaxy…”
A small amount?
Zhao Yu didn’t know what that unit of measurement was, but he didn’t mind. He began to write his reply, then sent it.
• •
“Haha, I mentioned the Miro Civilization and this devastating antimatter weapon. This will surely scare them…”
Miro laughed heartily, clearly pleased with himself.
Seth, still deeply disturbed by the concept of dimensional changes, took a while to react.
“Ding, ding-”
A message from Zhao Yu arrived.
“I also visited a civilization called the Zhou Dynasty within the China Universe Alliance. There, I saw a weapon named ‘Waterdrop’…”
“It’s made entirely of a material with strong interactions, with almost zero spacing between the atoms…”
“The atoms are aligned tightly and neatly, making it indestructible. All normal materials seem as fragile as tofu in comparison…”
“Waterdrop?!”
“Zero atom spacing?!”
Seth
was shocked once again. How was this possible?
Having recently crammed for a science exam, he knew exactly how small an atom was. This Zhou Dynasty civilization was somehow able to alter the arrangement of atoms.
A level three civilization, at least.
But in his mind, this Waterdrop weapon from the Zhou Dynasty civilization didn’t seem as impressive as the proton weapon from the previous Yin Shang civilization.
After all, they didn’t even have a shred of hypothesis on dimensionality alteration.
Could it be that the Yin Shang civilization was a level four civilization?!
Miro, who also failed to comprehend what changing atom arrangement meant, nonchalantly flipped to the next scientific conjecture and continued:
“Again, in the Miro Civilization, we saw a low-volume object that could reach the speed of light…”
“It can convert matter into energy, and the closer it gets to an object with great mass, the greater its own mass becomes…”
“When it collides with a star at the speed of light, its own mass will match that of the star…”
“Upon collision, the star’s structure will be completely destroyed, leading to a helium flash explosion powerful enough to destroy an entire star system…”
After sending the message, Miro was overjoyed, and turned to Seth, saying, “Did you see that? Another weapon from the Milo Civilization, capable of destroying an entire star system!”
Seth’s
remained silent, his face stern, staring at the screen.
Moments later, Zhao Yu’s message came through.
“That matter-energy conversion weapon of yours is quite impressive…”
“I once discovered an interesting weapon in a civilization known as the Great Qin within our China Universe Alliance…”
“I wonder, do you have a piece of paper handy? Please pick it up…”
Miro and Seth were slightly taken aback, but instinctively picked up a piece of paper and continued to read the screen.
“There, there is a weapon named Two-way Foil…”
“When the Two-way Foil makes contact with the three-dimensional universe, it can shrink one dimension of three-dimensional space from macroscopic to microscopic, forcing the three-dimensional universe to reduce its dimensions…”
“All surrounding matter will be passively reduced to two dimensions at the speed of light. Everything in the world, whether it is the universe or living beings, will eventually collapse into a two-dimensional universe, becoming as thin as a piece of paper…”
“This weapon is also known as Dimension Reduction Strike.”
Seeing the description of the Dimension Reduction Strike on the screen, Miro and Seth were startled, dropping the paper they were holding.
“Dimension reduction, dimension reduction… This method, it couldn’t possibly belong to a level three civilization?!”
Seth couldn’t hold back any longer, his voice shrill, “Their China Universe Alliance definitely has a level four civilization!”
“Run-”
“Let’s Run!!!”
