Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

Lin Tian's expression turned serious.

He read through the technical documentation for the Gravity Shield from beginning to end, and then read it again.

After watching it a second time, he remained silent for a long time.

He was thinking about something.

The black hole route is a path that only a few people are destined to be able to traverse.

It wasn't because he was withholding knowledge from others, but because this path placed extremely high demands on the observer.

For a star to successfully collapse into a black hole, the observer must have the mental arithmetic ability to calculate at least six decimal places.

Six digits.

What does this mean?

Accurate to one part per million.

During the collapse of a star, observers need to monitor changes in dozens of parameters simultaneously, including mass, gravitational coefficient, spacetime curvature, accretion disk state, and ergosphere thickness.

If any parameter deviates by an order of one million, the collapse process will get out of control.

If things get out of control, the star will either explode or collapse into a white dwarf.

Although white dwarfs have a high density, they are not on the same level as black holes!

Collapsing into a white dwarf means that this star has lost the possibility of continuing to evolve.

It can only remain in that half-dead state forever, lacking both the massive size and brightness of a normal star, and never even touching the threshold of a black hole.

This is the most terrifying place.

Not everyone who takes the black hole route will succeed.

On the contrary, failure is the more likely outcome.

The Great Xia Kingdom only managed to train thirty-four black hole observers in three months. It wasn't that the country didn't want to train more, but rather that there were simply too few people capable of reaching this stage.

The Black Hole Legion is destined to follow an elite path.

In the overall strategy of the Great Xia Kingdom, the role of the Black Hole Legion is to break through the enemy's defenses, destroy the enemy's core strength, and deliver a decisive blow at the most critical juncture.

However, the Black Hole Legion has too few members to cover the entire sector battlefield.

Ultimately, what truly underpins the overall national strength of the Great Xia Kingdom is the vast number of observers who follow the path of superstars.

They are the foundation of the nation.

Gravity shields, on the other hand, can provide these numerous but relatively ordinary observers with a defensive capability that could turn the tide of battle.

Imagine what it would be like if all the observers in the Great Xia Kingdom who were on the path to becoming superstars were equipped with gravity shields.

The enemy's red giant squadron painstakingly built up a salvo of thermal radiation, only to have it all deflected to one side when it hit the gravity shield, failing to even touch a hair on the enemy's head.

The enemy's pulsar storm unleashed a high-energy particle tsunami covering billions of kilometers, which, after passing through the gravitational shield, transformed into a beautiful halo around the star—but served no purpose.

Even when facing a black hole, the gravity shield is not entirely useless.

Although the gravitational shield cannot block the event horizon of a black hole, it can at least give a star a sliver of resistance before it is dragged into the event horizon.

They can choose to "cut their losses and survive".

They actively discard their gravity shields, using the momentary spacetime disturbance caused by the shields collapsing to gain a brief window of opportunity to escape.

However, the gravity shield is not very effective against black holes.

Because black holes possess the strongest defense mechanism in the universe—the event horizon.

In the event view, any attack will only have one outcome: being swallowed up.

but--

"The gravitational shield is invaluable to ordinary observers; it's practically giving each of them a second life! If this equipment were deployed throughout the Great Xia Kingdom, even without black holes, the Great Xia Kingdom could sweep across the entire world!"

This is not for his own sake, but for the sake of the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

"We absolutely must acquire this technology!"

Lin Tian pulled himself out of his thoughts and turned his gaze back to the set of coordinates in the database.

The first star region of the Sakura Kingdom.

Tokyo.

"To obtain the technology of the Gravity Shield, we must enter the mainland of Japan and the core of the first star sector of Japan."

Because the coordinates of that relay station are right next to the Japanese mainland.

The Ayers built it in that place because there was no Cherry Blossom Kingdom or any humans at that time.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, that place was just an ordinary interstellar space, just like any other galaxy around Earth in its previous life—desolate, empty, and untouched.

But now, that area has become the core of the first star sector of the Sakura Kingdom.

"Moreover, it is estimated that Japan has not discovered that place either, as it is difficult to detect the gravitational wave signals of the Ayers on a neutron star."

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to do it.

Invading the First Star Sector is not just about fighting a few battles and killing a few people; it could really lead to the destruction of the Sakura Kingdom.

For the Sakura Kingdom, the First Star Sector is their Achilles' heel.

Once the First Sector is breached, the capital, Tokyo, will be directly exposed to enemy fire.

By then, for that country, it would be no different from annihilation.

Lin Tian didn't care about the lives or deaths of the Japanese people at all, but this goal was not so easy to achieve.

War, in the final analysis, is a clash between national power.

You have as many stars as I have as many black holes.

How strong is your gravitational field? How thick is my gravitational shield?

In the end, it all comes down to who has more cards up their sleeve and who has more staying power.

Right now, the biggest trump card in the Great Xia Kingdom's hands is him.

In fact, he could have chosen to go in alone, since no one in the world can restrain a quasar.

However, this would inevitably allow the Japanese to discover the relay station.

"I can't be distracted while transmitting data, nor can I participate in the attack. If Japan launches an attack on the relay station at that time, I will be forced to stop."

Japan couldn't stop him from going to the relay station, but destroying the relay station would be quite simple.

All we need to do is have the neutron star launch a suicidal attack, so that the energy waves from the starburst reach the relay station.

In fact, to protect the relay station, Lin Tian cannot activate the event horizon of the black hole, otherwise he might swallow the relay station as well!

That's the downside of black holes: their gravity is too strong, making them too difficult to manipulate, and they're nowhere near as good as neutron stars.

"Let's discuss these matters with the military when we get back."

Lin Tian stored the data related to the gravity shield in his local database, along with the technical drawings of the gravity array.

He then turned on the communication channel.

"Su Li, Xue Jian, you two continue to devour the dark matter halo here."

"Fang Yan, Li Changying, Zhao Zheng, the three of you bring the rest of the Black Hole Legion here as well. The density of this dark matter halo is two thousand times that of the standard star sector, enough for all the black holes to complete a round of evolution."

On the other end of the communication, Fang Yan was the first to respond: "Received, we'll set off immediately."

Li Changying and Zhao Zheng also confirmed the order one after another.

Su Li's voice cut in: "And what about you? Aren't you leaving?"

"I'm not going back for now," Lin Tian said. "There's still a lot of data in the relay station, and I need some time to completely analyze it."

"Alright then, but don't you dare sneak off to fight somewhere else by yourself! Last time you single-handedly wiped out the entire four-nation alliance, leaving me with only a few hundred. This time, you absolutely have to wait for me!"

Lu Xuejian's voice drifted over from the side: "Lin Tian, ​​if anything happens, please contact us anytime."

"Okay." Lin Tian responded, "I'll stay here for a while and keep communication open. If you encounter any technical problems during the evolution, just ask me."

"Okay!" Su Li called out before Lu Xuejian could react, her tone deliberately teasing. "Then we'll get busy! By the way, Xuejian, who do you think will evolve into the Kerr black hole first? Want to make a bet?"

"No gambling." Lu Xuejian's answer was crisp and decisive.

"Tch, boring."
