Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 969 Energy Conversion
The commander asked, "Quark material?"

The science officer introduced in the communication channel: "Quark material is a material made using the principle of quark confinement. In theory, it is an applied technology that can be realized under the framework of the Theory of Everything. However, we have been cooperating with some civilizations in the Xinghai Alliance for many years and have made no progress."

"In the end, we came to the conclusion that it was something that seemed feasible in theory, but could not actually be made at the level of a Level 5 civilization. I didn't expect that this human civilization could actually make it, and could even make it into battleship armor. It's incredible."

The commander of the Xinghai Alliance understood: "It means that we did cause damage to the flagship of human civilization, but because of the quark confinement principle, the flagship's armor was restored to its original state in an instant!"

"Yes, Commander!" As the scientific officer explained to the commander, his voice was heard by other civilizations in the Galaxy Alliance: "Quark confinement is a field that only civilizations with profound technological attainments in the microscopic field can explore. We in the Galaxy Alliance are also researching it, but ultimately failed, so we believe that it is a technology that a level 5 civilization cannot master."

"When faced with that kind of material, unless our firepower is powerful enough to break it down with one shot, it will instantly return to its original state. That is the most ideal regenerative armor technology."

The words of the scientific officer silenced all the commanders of the civilizations of the Star Ocean Alliance. How could they fight? Every hit was at the cost of sacrificing a large number of their own warships. If they were to hit dozens of times, wouldn't every one of their own warships be in danger?
As long as you get close to the flagship's range, you are at risk of being indiscriminately attacked by your own side. Who can bear this?

If they were the same civilization, they might still have this spirit of sacrifice. But with 13 civilizations in the Xinghai Alliance, who would want their own warships to be attacked indiscriminately?

Besides, even if it hits the flagship, it won’t destroy the human civilization’s flagship.

Those who know the principle of quark confinement know very well that the regeneration ability of that material is so strong that the energy that hits it can indeed tear it apart, but the energy that can tear it apart is directly converted into energy for regenerating quarks.

It has reached the realm of energy-quality conversion.

From a certain perspective, when powerful energy impacts quark-matter materials, the hydrogen molecular cloud that is knocked out is the mass, and the quark-matter materials are a kind of intermediary.

This is how energy is transformed into mass.

If we can master the technology of synthesizing all elements, then human civilization will be able to possess the technology of all elements as long as there is energy - energy-to-matter conversion.

Quark material is a material technology, but it can not only be used as a material technology, because it is a technology obtained based on the quark confinement principle. The quark confinement principle also has other applications, and energy-matter conversion is one of them.

Science and technology are all interrelated or have a contextual relationship.

Quark material technology is a prerequisite for scientific and technological civilization to master energy-matter conversion technology, but quark material technology actually involves extremely advanced microscopic fields, as well as related fields at the boundaries of microscopic and macroscopic levels. The scientific officer of the Star Ocean Alliance is right about this. An ordinary level five civilization really cannot do it.

The reason why human civilization can do this is entirely because of human beings' talent in the field of microscopic dimensions. Human beings can understand some microscopic phenomena that civilizations at the same level cannot understand, so quark materials came into being.

This is actually the first sign of a racial talent in unique technology, but humans themselves don't know this and still think that every level five civilization can possess this technology.

In fact, if you think about it, although humans have now made quark materials, their efficiency is very low and they are materials that cannot be produced on a large scale. That is why quark materials have not been popularized on every warship.

Of course, quark materials are not exclusive to humans. Other civilizations just find it difficult to achieve it at this stage. In the final analysis, it is not a special technology. In fact, many old-fashioned level 5 civilizations can do it, but this group of Xinghai Great Alliance who are huddled together for warmth is not included. In fact, under the framework of the universal theory, a fully developed level 5 civilization can achieve energy-matter conversion, but the development of a civilization always has some technologies that advance faster, and some technologies that cannot be broken through for a long time, or even stagnate for a long time, which causes the development differences of various civilizations at the same level.

This difference has also created diversity in the development of scientific and technological civilization, and caused differences in combat effectiveness and other aspects among sub-civilizations of the same level.

Of course, there are civilizations that have developed all branches of technology to the extreme, but such civilizations are rare and not inevitable.

Because the level of civilization is divided according to whether the advanced civilization has mastered certain key technologies and theories, and the judgment criteria are subjective, it cannot be said that a level 6 civilization will definitely master all the branch technologies of a level 5 civilization.

This is also one of the reasons why many level six civilization organizations such as the Galactic Heart Alliance continue to gather lower-level civilizations through various means.

In addition to wanting to find some civilizations with special racial talents, another goal is to complete their own technology tree.

There is only one way out for all level six civilizations, and that is the great voyage. Before that, all level six civilizations will try their best to complete their own technology trees, otherwise they may fail along the way.

It’s not that those level six civilizations know what the situation is like on the long voyage, but they will infer from point to surface based on the galaxy they are in.

Just like the Awakeners, they were able to travel across the Triangulum Galaxy, but almost died in the Milky Way. In a sense, the Awakeners' great voyage had already begun the moment they left the Triangulum Galaxy.

anyway.

The human flagship Lyra was hit by a tachyon lightsaber, but there was only smoke and no damage, which brought great shock to all the civilizations present.

But no matter how shocked they are, the war will not stop because of their shock.

However, from now on, it was time for the three thousand warships of humanity to perform. The Xinghai Alliance was afraid to act rashly, and the thirteen civilizations actually had their own thoughts, which greatly hit their confidence. No one saw the hope of winning, which made their performance in the battle much worse than before.

As one side gained strength, the other side declined. The 3,000 human warships were like a dragon entering the sea, constantly conquering the east and west in a fleet that was a thousand times larger than their own. Every time a warship was destroyed, the Star Alliance became more desperate.

Cut meat with a blunt knife.

One day, his fleet will be completely destroyed, not to mention that the other side has a single civilization that may arrive at the battlefield at any time. He wants to run away but cannot, because no matter which direction he runs, the end that awaits him is the exhaustion of fuel.

The war continued day by day, month by month, year by year, two years.
The civilizations of the Star Sea Alliance could only watch their own warships being blown up one by one every day. This one-sided damage made them feel that this was not a war at all, but a mental torture.
