A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 32 This black hole is too flat

"Clear out an area where there can be no matter, and then gather all your spiritual energy into one point," Lu Shang ordered.

"OK."

Upon hearing this, the new generation of planetary beings channeled their immense spiritual energy into one place.

A small, round, black sphere, about the size of a glass bead, appeared out of nowhere at the place where the planetary beings' spiritual energy converged.

Under Lu Shang's command, the planetary creatures freely altered the trajectory of this small black sphere.

However, unlike the usual use of psychic energy to change the trajectory of matter, planetary beings do not use psychic energy to give momentum to those substances; they simply change the location where their psychic energy is gathered.

Lu Shang thought for a moment, then gave the order: "Try to flatten this sphere and turn it into a plane with no thickness."

Following Lu Shang's command, the small black sphere rapidly unfolded at a speed visible to the naked eye. After about seven minutes, a pitch-black giant screen, no smaller than the visible area of ​​a planetary creature, appeared at a distance of about 200,000 kilometers from the planetary creature.

This black curtain is very thin. Through the various senses of the Behemoth behemoth responsible for observation, Lu Shang can roughly understand that its thickness is about 3 nanometers.

If Lu Shang hadn't stopped it midway, the planetary beings could have continued to extend this veil of darkness all the way to the edge of its psionic influence.

In addition, this giant black screen also exudes an unusual gravitational pull.

The Overlords and the Masterminds were also observing the test through the swarm network.

The others were fine; they could understand them. But Lu Shang commanded the new generation of planetary beings to use this thin black veil, which they couldn't understand at all.

"What is that?" the Overlord asked curiously.

"A black hole with no thickness," Lu Shang replied.

The Overlord initially responded knowingly, then, realizing what was happening, looked at the massive, pitch-black wall in astonishment, and asked with a sense of utter disbelief, "A fragment? This is a black hole?"

The bee swarm certainly knew what a black hole was. Having traversed the galaxy for so many years, the Babel Tower bee swarm had encountered black holes before.

But the Babel Tower bee swarm has never heard of such a massive black hole before.

Lu Shang explained, "The formation of a black hole is essentially the result of matter distorting spacetime. So, using other things to distort spacetime can achieve the same effect."

"Psionic energy can be used to warp spacetime and create black holes, and since psionic energy is subject to the arbitrary control of the brain, it becomes possible to change the shape of a black hole formed purely by psionic energy warping spacetime."

After speaking, Lu Shang commanded hundreds of planetary creatures to remove the scout nebula covering them and throw out stones moving at sub-light speeds, which crashed into the unfolding black curtain.

These stones, with kinetic energy approaching the speed of light, fell into this black curtain as if they were fish falling into the gaping maw of a giant abyss beast, causing no ripples whatsoever.

Subsequently, Lu Shang tested black hole-induced attacks and ray-based attacks.

Ray-type attacks are not commonly used in combat by planetary creatures, but they can certainly be used. By confining a beam of particles with psionic energy, arranging it in a straight line, and then throwing it out with psionic energy like a sub-light-speed stone, it becomes a high-energy particle stream moving at near the speed of light.

Neutron jets and positron cannons can all be fired using psionic energy, but that's too cumbersome. In battle, it's more convenient to just throw stones.

A series of tests have all confirmed the impenetrability of this veil.

This is to be expected. A sheet-like black hole is still a black hole. What can penetrate a black hole?

This is practically a shield that can block anything!

The observer, who was in charge of the test, was well aware of the strategic significance of the conspiracy and regretted not discovering it sooner, sitting on a treasure trove without realizing it.

I can't believe level 12 psionic energy can be used like this! Why didn't I discover this before?

The ruler is now feeling like he's about to vomit blood.

"End the test." Lu Shang announced the end of the test with satisfaction, and gave the order to the new generation of planetary creatures and the planetary creatures that had not yet been upgraded.

"It devours stellar matter, multiplies its own kind, and other level 10 psionic planetary creatures hatch and transform into level 12."

"OK."

The planetary creatures responded.

……

After completing the test, Lu Shang used the psionic network to find the Overlord, who was still doubting himself.

"My Lord, what have you thought about what I told you before?" Lu Shang asked.

"Before?"

The ruler, still caught in self-doubt, didn't react immediately.

"It's about changing the social structure of bee colonies."

After Lu Shang's reminder, the Overlord understood what Lu Shang meant.

"Does that really have to be done this way? I think things are fine as they are now."

"The current structure of the bee colony is the most stable and perfect. The colony selects the most capable individual as the leader, and the leader guides the development and growth of the colony. I don't think the kind of change you mentioned would be a good thing."

"It's not efficient."

Lu Shang raised an eyebrow and countered, "A highly efficient, stable, and perfect model has been driven to the brink of extinction by the enemy?"

The Overlord retorted, "Your existence proves precisely that the social structure of the bee colony is perfect. Even when facing imminent extinction, as long as the leader is capable enough, the colony can continue to be guided out of the crisis."

"The crisis of the hive stems from the inadequacy of the old master and me. Mastermind Lu Shang, your abilities are far superior to mine, and you should become the master of the hive."

The overlord is not fixated on its own position. After all, it is an individual chosen by the hive. To gain the hive's approval and become the new overlord, it naturally considers the hive more than itself.

"You still don't understand. If I really wanted to become the ruler, you and those mainbrains wouldn't be alive now," Lu Shang said frankly.

"Have you thought about this? Just because I can solve these problems for the Star River Alliance now doesn't mean I can solve all the problems the Hive will face in the future. That would just be a repeat of the old Overlord's failure, another period of stagnation, and another day in the future, we would be on the verge of extinction."

"What bee colonies need is not some outstanding individual to lead them, but more individuals who are willing to think about the future of the colony and seek progress through thinking."

The Overlord found it absurd. Although Lu Shang described it beautifully, it couldn't imagine what such a swarm of bees would look like.

"What if we fail?" the Overlord asked rhetorically.

Lu Shang replied, "If we fail, we can simply revert to the old system and start over. But change will continue; only in this way can we achieve lasting development and progress."

"Technological change inevitably leads to change in thinking. Thought and technology are always in a relationship of mutual interaction, because any technology must ultimately serve the user. A civilization that is unwilling to change its thinking is destined to go down a dead end in development, and will wander on that dead end for a long time until it is destroyed by other transcendent beings."

"My Lord, if you are unwilling to agree, then I will have no choice but to make you agree."

The Overlord was taken aback, then realized that Lu Shang was not asking for its opinion, but demanding that it do so!

This way, you can handle the things you want to do more easily!
