Graviton is still used as a hypothetical particle that transmits gravity at the current stage of earth civilization, but it has been widely used in interstellar civilization. If the universe is regarded as an ocean, then graviton is the sea water existing in the universe.
All directions of space exert the same pressure, and antigravitons can counteract the seawater pressure in a certain direction with the same force. In a direction without seawater pressure, objects in it can be pushed by pressure in the opposite direction.
forward.
In the universe, this water pressure is the speed of light. So in fact, the antigraviton engine is not located behind the starship, but becomes a barrier blocking gravitons in the direction of the starship's forward motion.
Of course, the antigraviton engine alone is not enough to ensure the starship moves at the speed of light. In regular space, once it reaches the highest speed of light, the mass of the object will tend to be infinite. Although the kinetic energy is provided by the gravitons of the entire universe,
But the starship itself cannot withstand such energy, and an energy field is needed to wrap the starship and make it semi-independent of the universe. In addition, at the speed of light, conventional observation methods are invalid. In order to ensure the safety of navigation, it is also necessary to
There are terminals for receiving and analyzing particle information such as neutrinos and tachyons. In addition, there are various corresponding supporting armor technologies, ecological rapidity, life support technologies, etc.
In short, interstellar travel requires more technologies than the imagination of primary civilizations. The fact that the first civilization can be classified as an interstellar civilization shows that even if it is not fully practical, it has at least fully mastered these technologies. The rest is just
Assemble all these technologies onto the starship.
As the most important technology among all technologies, anti-graviton technology is not only a force that allows starships to sail through the starry sky, but also a high-quality energy. Even if it cannot be installed on starships, it itself
It can achieve certain ultimate effects - once released, the gravitons in a certain area will be blocked, and the unbalanced force will squeeze out objects within the range at extremely high speeds.
The reason why it is not the speed of light is because antigravitons cannot be precisely controlled and cannot perfectly block the power of partial gravitons. But even if it is only partially, its speed is far beyond the limit of primary civilization. If it is not the effect of antigravitons
For all matter, at such a speed, the friction between the object and the air is enough to turn it into ashes.
It's just that... all the methods and effects used by the First Civilization are also calculated by the chess players. They understand the power of antigravitons better than the First Civilization itself, and have enough experience in using this power.
If the explosion of antigravitons occurs in a space with a sufficient distance, it is equivalent to a powerful shock wave, and the effect of clearing a designated area is incomparable. But in a universe densely populated with gravitons, antigravitons can act
The range is limited and dissipates quickly. As long as you keep a sufficient distance, you will not be affected at all. And for a starship designed to fly at the speed of light, the thrust generated by using the anti-graviton engine as a bomb will have a huge impact on the star.
The ship's reach will not have the slightest impact.
Even on planets with dense matter, because within the range of antigravitons, all objects, regardless of mass or size, acquire the same speed, and all associated forces are blocked by antigravitons, so it can
Even if the entire space is pushed out at the same time, even if it reaches a speed of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers per second, objects within the range will not be damaged in any way. The only possible lethality may be to cause creatures to suddenly jump from the ground.
Transferred to the universe and suffocated to death.
But in this space constrained by invisible barriers, the huge thrust of antigravitons is forcibly blocked, and all objects are squeezed against this barrier that cannot be moved synchronously. This is equivalent to the range of antigravitons.
The material inside collides with the barrier at high speed. Not to mention the boomerang, which is a biological organism, even the starship cannot bear it.
It's as if the chess player hidden in the depths knew that the first civilization had such a weapon that was extremely dangerous to living organisms, so it used this space to carry out balanced restrictions, changing the antigraviton generating device from a powerful kill to a mutual death.
extraordinary means.
But the First Civilization was forced to use this method because of the inevitable need for chess players to have pairs. The only way to control it was to use the starship's physical engine to counteract the thrust of the antigravitons. But after they had a pair,
The other party also has leeway.
Antigravitons are not penetrating, so when they come into contact with the ground without gaps, they explode into the air on the one hand, and flow around like liquid on the other hand, until they contact the invisible barrier at the end of the ground, and are reflected towards the ground again.
in the air.
All objects above the ground were pushed to the barrier in the air with absolute force, but because the starting point of the force was on the ground, the ground below was not affected at all.
The first civilization completely lost its combat effectiveness, but it was not completely destroyed. All the Boom Beasts from the ground to the sky were wiped out, but there were still new Boom Beasts emerging from the ground. This is the result after the chess players matched their pieces.
For the chess players on Akiyu's side, this move is to pay for the First Civilization chess piece in exchange for destroying most of the boom beasts. For the other side's chess players, this move is a bit of a loss, but it is still
Within the tolerable range, after all, apart from harvesting the most troublesome civilization, the plan to attack the underground has not been affected in any way.
However, the outcome of the chess game is not judged by the move that can be seen in front of you...
The ground cleaned by antigravitons is almost absolutely flat, which is different from the flatness of the relative sea level on the earth, but flat in a practical sense. As long as your eyesight is good enough, you can stand at any point in this space.
You can see every other location clearly without any obstruction.
After the debris in the sky fell, a booming beast poked its head out from the ground. Before that, it had tried its best to restrain the vibrations of its body and carefully received every sound wave signal that might be transmitted by its kind under the ground, but
Apart from the collision of objects, I couldn't find any information that I could understand.
After a long time, a strange emotion forced it to dig out of the ground and observe with six pairs of compound eyes that were far less useful than sound waves.
The world in its eyes is like countless broken mirrors. Each mirror has a large number of overlapping scenes. Through these overlapping parts, it can clearly judge the distance of the target. But at this moment, no matter how it turns its head, it can't find it.
to targets that overlap in the field of view.
There is indistinguishable sticky sand on the ground, and there is a broken and weird starry sky in the sky. Other than that, there is nothing else.
It doesn't like this kind of world that is so empty that it makes it dizzy, and without a single sound of the same kind. Although it is dark under the ground and cannot fly, there are countless similar sounds and several things that attract it, so no matter where it comes from
From all aspects, it is much better than this earthly world. So after taking a last look around, the vibrations in the body began to change from weak to strong, and the soft sand was like a loyal subject crawling in front of the monarch, trembling and sliding towards
on both sides,
At the moment when it was about to completely submerge into the ground, the sonic boom beast was once again driven by strange emotions, and against its own will, it once again reached its head towards the ground.
Before the image of the world is reflected in the eyes, a sound that has never been heard before but is extremely familiar penetrates its body, like the echo of a fragile thing being torn apart...

"Master, do we really do nothing?"
This was the sixth time Qian Xiao asked the same question. Ever since he met Qiu Yu, Qiu Yu's calmness often had only two possibilities. One was that he had already secured the victory, and the other was that he was prepared to take risks. With his own wisdom, Qian Xiao could not be calm yet.
As for thinking that Qiuyu didn't say anything for more than ten minutes, it was because of the former.
Since he didn't get any response in the past few times, Qian Xiao seemed to be venting his anxious emotions more than seeking answers. So after Qiu Yu answered, he was still pacing back and forth. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized that Qiu Yu had just
It seems to have said something.
"Um, were you talking just now?"
"The opponent's chess player has entered the game." Qiu Yu repeated it, then looked at the other allies who had reached the limit of uneasiness, "Get ready to fight."
Taking action at this time is probably part of the chess players' calculations.
Because of the foreshadowing of several games, Earth's civilization already has almost blind faith in its own words. In this game, it has also gained a lot of places to show its strength, but based on this alone, it allows other civilizations to set their own pace.
The route we have set so far has reached its limit.
Limited understanding, cultural barriers, and self-pride cannot allow him to become the leader of these allies. But neither he nor the chess players on his side regard this game as a strategy that only requires one brain.
Game. This is a chess game, a complex game that takes into account all the advantages and disadvantages. It is a bad situation that you cannot master all the chess pieces, but on the other hand, your opponent cannot master them either. This way to play chess
It is an equal disadvantage for the chess player, especially for the almost omniscient Destiny. But for the chess player who has the same mind as the chess player, a small, but not negligible, advantage is established invisibly.
What's more, Qiu Yu was better than his own chess players expected, and within the limited conditions, he made the opponent's chess players fall into small traps that could eliminate his advantage again and again.
The complex deception and counter-deception are over. The moves that the opponent's players and chess pieces can use can no longer surpass the calculations that Qiu Yu can master. The rest is just a step-by-step check...
