The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

In the virtual space battlefield, players can deploy their formations and use magnetic rail arrays to accelerate projectiles to near the speed of light, sending them hurtling towards distant enemies.

Although it makes no sense to do so, since it's outside of effective range.

A distance of more than twenty astronomical units would take more than two hours to travel even at the speed of light, let alone a physical cannonball traveling at only seventy percent of the speed of light.

Two hours is enough time for a warship to travel a certain distance, not to mention that at such a distance, even a one-second deviation angle means a huge difference, making it impossible to hit the target.

Therefore, this is just players venting their anger for no reason, or showing their enemies that they have no fear whatsoever because of this cheat-like battle.

They'll win next time!

In the fleet channel, players were cursing and swearing because of this virtual war.

"Damn it, the enemy was indeed in the command center. This battle was too humiliating. Last time we were lucky enough to destroy some enemy ships, and this time they hurriedly added a bug-level attack method like a gravitational wave weapon."

"After the game is over, I'm going to go there and cause a huge ruckus."

Many players said that once this virtual war ends, they will form a group to storm the director's office.

It was one thing to give the Trisolaran fleet an antimatter boost before, since the Trisolaran fleet seemed to actually have such a thing, although the quantity was uncertain. But it was certain that it was definitely not as much as the Trisolaran fleet had in the virtual war.

This time, the directors' cheating was outrageous; they resorted to cutting-edge technology.

Chapter 128 This is a Magic Fleet

"Don't be impulsive. The Directorate is, after all, a department of the Space Force. Although the Space Force will be very lenient with us players, going too far will lead to big trouble," a rational player advised the group.

One player in the channel complained, "Who told them to be so biased in the virtual war? This time they're clearly bullying us honest people."

Then another player complained, "I bet if you went there, they would just tell you—isn't it natural for aliens to be equipped with alien technology? If you're not satisfied, you can go and communicate with the Trisolaran civilization and ask them to lift the technological blockade imposed by the Sophons, allowing humanity to continue in-depth research into basic science and narrow the equipment gap."

The channel fell silent for a moment because of this imitative remark, but soon it erupted in excitement again.

"Haha, I can picture it now."

"I laughed like a pig."

"Damn, he's really good at imitating. I'm already tempted to punch him."

"Well said. You'll be joining the directing department tomorrow. If they dare refuse you, we'll all go and smash them up."

Unlike the noisy players, the Space Force was unusually quiet, with very few people talking in the channel.

"They haven't gotten close, nor have they increased the distance."

"Stay vigilant. Although at such a distance, their gamma rays and near-light-speed projectiles are unlikely to inflict effective damage on us, we cannot let our guard down."

The Space Force is on alert of the Trisolaran fleet stationed in the distance.

Gamma rays, even a axial cannon can't hit more than twenty astronomical units. Near-light-speed projectiles, because they are below the speed of light, can also be evaded by radar as long as the distance is large enough.

Moreover, before each projectile accelerates to near the speed of light, it releases strong gamma rays for further acceleration, and this strong gamma emission can be observed to provide early warning.

"I still can't get used to connecting to the player channel; those kids are too lax," said a space officer who had switched back from the player channel.

"It's no wonder they're so lax; after all, all the strategic planning has been completed," another officer replied.

"Gas giants like Jupiter have been destroyed by enemy antimatter bombs. As long as we stay near stars, gravitational wave attacks cannot harm us. They will either use gamma rays and near-light-speed projectiles to attack us, or use antimatter bombs to destroy stars."

"They will probably choose the former. There are no shelters for them to withstand the star's explosion, and detonating the sun would also cause them damage."

"Now they have two options: either close the distance, let us inflict some sporadic losses on them, and then eliminate them, or use an antimatter bomb to detonate the sun, destroying us while also suffering the impact of the sun's explosion, which may be even greater than the losses from engaging in combat with us."

"The defeat is now inevitable, but at least we haven't come away empty-handed this time."

Everything was a setup orchestrated by the human fleet.

The addition of gravitational wave weapons did not throw the human fleet into disarray.

Knowing that ordinary methods could not harm the Trisolaran fleet, they decided to use other methods to inflict damage on it.

Using gas giants like Jupiter as gravitational wave defense positions, they launched an attack on the Trisolaran fleet.

The Trisolaran fleet destroyed these celestial bodies by dropping antimatter bombs. This was a tactic employed by both the Trisolaran and human fleets.

Currently, there are no longer any celestial bodies in the entire solar system capable of weakening the power of a solar explosion.

Gravitational wave weapons would become useless under the influence of stellar gravitational wells.

If the Trisolaran fleet detonates the sun with antimatter bombs, they themselves will be affected, and the impact will be something that antimatter shields cannot withstand.

The Trisolaran fleet will most likely choose to close the distance and use gamma rays or near-light-speed projectiles to destroy them.

In this way, the human fleet can at least inflict some damage on the enemy, since they also have near-light-speed projectiles capable of retaliating.

In this war, the human fleet never sought victory; they only sought to inflict casualties on the enemy.

In their view, they had already won as long as they had achieved that.

No one would think such an idea is humble. With such a huge equipment gap, it's a complete one-sided crushing victory. To still be able to inflict casualties on the enemy under such circumstances is already a sign of exceptional talent.

Suddenly, the radar ship, which is dedicated to radar detection, broadcast a report.

"Target acquired by radar!"

"Strong signal detected! Speed ​​is constantly increasing!"

After a few seconds of silence, the radar ship made its judgment.

"It's a near-light-speed projectile! All ships, take evasive maneuvers!"

Just as all the ships in the incoming fleet were maneuvering to avoid them, the radar ship changed its tune.

"No! Wait! This near-light-speed projectile isn't aimed at us!"

"Where is the target?" a player asked.

The radar ship hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Yes, a star..."

"They actually chose a suicidal strategy?!"

The players and space force officers were somewhat taken aback. They knew that detonating the sun would affect even the Trisolaran fleet. It might not be completely wiped out, but the losses would certainly be greater than those suffered in a direct confrontation with them.

In other words, they made a profit.

After all, the human fleet's high-precision fire control relies on radar ships, and whether they can destroy even a single-digit number of enemy ships is a question.

The Trisolaran fleet sent a communication request to the human fleet.

With a sense of skepticism, the human fleet agreed to the communication request.

"I'm sorry, you failed."

As soon as the connection was established, the human fleet heard this response from the Trisolaran fleet.

"What?"

"The sun exploding won't hurt us, that's all."

When the Trisolaran fleet transmitted this message, the antimatter bomb, accelerated to near the speed of light, had already begun to transform into a star-devouring demon, consuming the star's matter.

The out-of-control star became unstable, and terrifying energy burst forth after the micro black hole broke its critical point, destroying everything in its path with devastating force.

Human fleet, solid planet, asteroids and meteorites...

The blinding light was terrifying, but the Trisolaran fleet remained calm and composed.

"Release gravitational waves."

A black wall stood between the Trisolaran warship and the solar storm.

A miraculous scene unfolded: these black curtains actually blocked the raging solar storm, and on their pitch-black surface facing the star, a luminous coating was applied.

The coating has an extremely high gloss, comparable to that of a sun explosion.

Every warship in the Trisolaran fleet accelerated under the raging torrents, yet remained unscathed. The black curtain between them and the exploding sun completely blocked all impacts; even quantum tunneling was unable to penetrate it.

With the energy from the solar eruption completely released, the Trisolaran fleet once again won the virtual war unscathed.

The Space Force leadership remained silent after watching the entire virtual war exercise.

At this moment, the high-ranking officers of the Space Force were completely dumbfounded.

Yes, everyone was completely stunned.

They all guessed what would happen first, but they didn't guess what would happen next. The 'veil' used by the Trisolaran fleet was beyond their comprehension.

"They held up? How did they do that? And what is that dark curtain?"

The Space Force leadership couldn't help but want to know what this thing was, something capable of withstanding a solar explosion. They remembered that Lin Feng had only requested to include gravitational wave attacks this time.

Beside him, an astrophysicist adjusted his glasses and explained to the senior officers of the Space Force.

"The gravitational waves that were just emitted reached the level of a black hole and absorbed the energy released by the star. That's why the curtain is black."

"As gravitational waves diffuse and reduce their frequency, the binding force on matter decreases, forming a luminous layer. The energy bound by the gravitational waves is then released, making the dark side very bright."

"However, even so, the energy is still very high. The energy will travel back and forth between the luminous layer and the black curtain many times before it is finally dissipated."

"We hadn't considered this use of gravitational waves; it was the Trisolaran fleet that came up with it during the battle," the astrophysicist said with some admiration.

He was not lacking in knowledge, but he never thought of this. The audacity and madness of the idea of ​​using black hole-level gravitational waves for defense truly surprised him.

The astrophysicist's explanation shocked even the top brass of the Space Force.

The Trisolaran fleet has brought up black holes, although not in the traditional sense.

"Does that mean this thing is even more outrageous than an antimatter shield, and no matter attack can penetrate it?!"

One of the space officers' eyes twitched slightly. If his understanding was correct, the black curtain was a flat black hole, and trying to penetrate it was like trying to penetrate a black hole.

At least according to human current understanding of physics, nothing can penetrate this darkness except for gravitational waves.

“That’s right. Gravitational waves at the level of a black hole can absorb lasers and electromagnetic projectiles, and can even defend against almost all known ray and projectile attacks. However, the drawback is also obvious: projectiles will be crushed into high-energy particle states by gravitational waves, and it will take longer to release the energy converted from their mass,” another scholar said.

The commander of the European fleet looked at his colleagues with some hesitation and asked with a wry smile.

"Can humanity defeat this kind of warship?"

The commander of the Asian fleet shook his head. "I don't know. I can't think of any way to win unless we develop the same gravitational wave weapon."

Only gravitational wave weapons can penetrate this black curtain and damage the warships on the other side. Other material weapons, even projectiles that reach near-light speed, cannot penetrate this thin black curtain.

What method can be used to penetrate a black hole?
