Chapter 1222: Great Ripping Strike

The Falcon Civilization calls their wide-area attack method: the Big Ripping Strike!
This is a strike method achieved through the application of dark energy mechanism. The core of its mechanism is the uniform distribution of dark energy and that dark energy is the culprit of the expansion of the universe.

Based on these two basic theories, as the universe expands, the density of dark energy will also increase over time rather than constantly. The mechanism of dark energy is repulsive force, which will eventually cause the repulsive force to gradually overwhelm other fundamental forces. As a result, the expansion of the universe will accelerate infinitely, eventually resulting in a big rip.

According to cosmological theory, after the expansion of space and time, the Big Rip will go through four stages. The first is the separation of galaxy clusters, during which the gravity can no longer maintain the structure of galaxy clusters, so they fall apart. The second is the disintegration of galaxies, during which the stars are thrown out of the galaxy by the rapidly expanding space. The third is the separation of star systems, which means that the star system can no longer maintain a stable structure due to the expansion of space. The fourth is the atomic disintegration, which is the period when elementary particles and atomic nuclei are torn apart.

In the fourth stage, even the strong forces between microscopic particles can no longer restrain them, and the rapid expansion of space tears them apart.

Whether the speculation about the end of the universe in the Big Rip is correct or not remains to be verified by time, but now, judging from the attack method of the Falcon civilization's flagship Falcon, dark energy does have this characteristic and has been utilized by the Falcon civilization.

In fact, whether the conjecture about the end of the universe is correct or not does not conflict with whether the theoretical basis that gave rise to the conjecture is correct, just as there are many other conjectures about the end of the universe, such as the heat death theory and the big crunch theory.

The heat death theory says that the universe continues to expand but the rate slows down, and eventually entropy reaches its maximum, and everything cools and dies. The big crunch is that after the expansion stops, gravity takes over and the universe collapses into a singularity, which is the opposite of the big rip.

These are all extreme expressions of theory.

However, the squeezing theory requires the support of dark energy decay. As far as the current conclusions of various civilizations on the universe are concerned, it has been ruled out.

Having said that, even if the universe really ends in these ways, it is also the natural ending of the universe.

According to the current understanding of all civilizations, this universe may not die peacefully. It is estimated that before it reaches heat death, it has been destroyed by wars among various advanced civilizations.

Not to mention the distant future, as far as the current Beikui Galaxy is concerned, its fate is bound to be two-dimensionalization. And a level 6 civilization with unique technology can create such a cosmic disaster. If a more advanced civilization comes, I am afraid that a single shot will turn an area of ​​tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light years into two dimensions, or cause vacuum decay, or other cosmic disasters.

In short, people are no longer so shocked by the natural end of the universe. After all, everyone knows that this universe is already riddled with holes. Even now, they have seen the irreversible phenomenon of two-dimensionalization in the Beikui Galaxy. The civilizations of the large long-distance navigation organizations are not worried, because worrying is useless. They have no ability to stop it, and they may even be one of the creators of the disaster.

This is foreseeable. Take the situation that the Galactic Grand Voyage Organization is facing now. After witnessing the dimensionality reduction attack, each civilization will certainly think of other extremely powerful and unique technological attack methods. In order to allow themselves to successfully reach the end of the grand voyage, everyone will definitely try their best to improve their combat effectiveness.

And in this process, perhaps some kind of cosmic disaster-type attack was created.

In order to survive, each civilization will certainly seek to protect itself with force. This is how the universe works. You can't convince all other civilizations with just words. Even if you don't want to harm other civilizations, you have to ensure that you are not taken away by them in one wave.

When it comes to taking other civilizations away in one go, both the Paper Battleship and the Falcon have this ability. And now the war between these two top-level battleships has attracted the attention of various civilizations.

Yes, all civilizations.

Although the battle between the two seemed to have only lasted one round, the turmoil it caused was so great that the Galactic Center Civilization Exploration Fleet, which was originally looking for the Falcon Voyage Organization, discovered it from a distance, and they immediately rushed to this area.

As luck would have it, they had just arrived when they saw the Falcon making a gesture of stalling and then launching a large tearing attack. The exploration fleet of the Yinxin civilization was still very professional. Sometimes, in order to obtain first-hand exploration data, they would even risk their lives to get close to the scene for exploration.

Perhaps they feel that they can revive their memories again.

And because of the dedication of the Galactic Center Civilization Exploration Fleet, the Great Voyage Organization was able to see this war soon after.

It can be seen that the Falcon's Big Rip attack was indeed effective, but after the two-dimensional space was hit by the Big Rip, the spatial form it restored was still two-dimensional space. Just as the two-dimensional space was hit by quantum exile, it already had some form of stable structure.

"Unknown civilization flagship, I'm sorry that I destroyed your flagship without asking the name of your civilization. To be honest, you are indeed qualified to reveal your name to our Falcon civilization."

The Falcon, which had completed the Great Rift, was still speeding along, but its warp speed had changed from 392.5 times the speed of light to the normal 213 times the speed of light, and the ship was no longer moving forward in a jerky manner as before.

The Falcon, thinking it had already won, was sending out tachyon broadcasts as it sailed, as if talking to nearby detectors. It seemed that they had also detected the detection fleet of the Galactic Center Civilization and knew that their battle with the paper battleship had been seen.

"Since you have a paper battleship, let's call you a paper civilization! Don't worry, our Falcon Voyage Organization will record the destruction of your paper battleship in our database. Of course, we will come to you to settle the account later. You will be destroyed by us, but your paper battleship will live in the universe in another way."

Just as the Falcon was broadcasting with great enthusiasm, a shadow suddenly appeared in the void nearby, and as soon as it appeared, it seemed to swell in the wind.

The Falcon, which had been running its detection system, was not blind and discovered the shadow as soon as it appeared. However, this sight made the intelligent life on the Falcon tremble in its hearts.

It's a paper battleship!
How can it be? !
The crew members on the Falcon found it hard to accept. They had clearly hit the opponent, so how could it not be destroyed yet and even got close to them? This meant it was a counterattack!
"Humph! No wonder you are so confident. You are a civilization with unique technology. We have wronged you before. You are indeed qualified to talk to us, but..."

After the paper battleship was fully revealed, it immediately launched a counterattack as expected by the Falcon Civilization. However, when launching the attack, they also released a tachyon broadcast at the same time.
