The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

A black hole or neutron star that can move at will and travel at the speed of light—just thinking about it is terrifying.

There are also galaxies with light-speed curvature. On the large scale between galaxies, a tiny black hole is naturally insignificant, so it can be discarded into the galaxy.

It collided with the center of the galaxy, and a large number of destructive rays filled the impact area.

Chapter 325 Give Me Some Access

"No, no, no, that's too crazy. We should consider things more realistically."

"Civilizations in the universe are terrifying. They must have some attack and defense methods that I don't know about. I can't set my mind on how to defeat them and seize a piece of territory in the universe, because it's simply impossible to win."

"From a survival perspective, a light-speed curvature black hole is a good idea."

While black holes do evaporate mass, the larger the black hole, the slower the evaporation rate. Some black holes will not completely evaporate their mass for a long time after the universe's heat death.

This would make a great mass battery, and black holes would become a highly sought-after resource of matter when all the stars in the universe die out.

Making a black hole warp at the speed of light means hiding the black hole from others. As long as the warp engine isn't constantly running, no black space trails will reveal the coordinates of the warp black hole, allowing it to maintain its light-speed gliding state.

Although the gravitational waves from a black hole will still spread, and it is still impossible to guarantee that it will not be attacked, the black hole itself is too stable. Neither light particles nor two-dimensional foils can have any effect on it. Even if it encounters an attack similar to that of a civilization on a planet with a speed of light and curvature, it will not matter.

If necessary, a light-speed curvature black hole can also be used as an attack method.

After all, it is zero-dimensional matter. There are very few things in the universe that can actually harm it. For example, the Big Rip, one of the consequences of the heat death of the universe, can't even keep atoms stable. Matter in the universe will become more microscopic subatomic particles under the infinite expansion of spacetime. But black holes are the only ones that will slowly evaporate on their own, as if nothing happened.

"I'll talk to them about it later," Lin Feng decided.

……

In the star system labeled 465hm122, the Atomic Humans set up a temporary broadcasting station. There are many similar broadcasting stations in the universe, using the reflective surfaces of stars to conduct radio broadcasts with stellar-level power.

These radio stations have very short cycles, being abandoned every ten years, while the broadcasters travel at the speed of light to catch up with their departing compatriots.

On this day, the broadcaster received a message from an atomic being.

"Give me permission to broadcast."

"Such things are never good, after all, those are civilizations just like ours," the broadcaster said with a heavy heart. Her broadcasting station had broadcast no fewer than twenty coordinates in the past ten years.

Because of the speed of light, this information has not yet traveled ten light-years. Neither the broadcaster nor the broadcasting station will be threatened by the hunters. However, the broadcasters are completely unaware that they have been broadcast. Therefore, they will not know that destruction is coming until the day the attack arrives. The destruction of the broadcasters is an inevitable fact.

The Atom Man replied, “In the Dark Forest, superfluous morality is meaningless unless we can become the ones who make the rules. Unfortunately, we are not. We are just insects. Insects can only live as insects. Living as humans will lead to extinction. We have no choice.”

"What does this civilization look like? Give a brief description," the announcer said.

"Why do you keep asking the same question lately?" the Atom asked curiously.

The broadcaster explained, "We just wanted to make a record so that future generations would know that such a civilization once existed in the universe."

"A meaningless act of lamenting the passing of spring and autumn." The Atom Man scoffed at the broadcaster's behavior, but still cooperated with her, explaining the civilization that was about to be broadcast to the broadcaster.

"This time, it is a civilization composed of special intelligent beings that are somewhere between plants and animals. Their neural networks are highly developed, allowing them to act autonomously like animals and photosynthesize like plants. Their cells and body structures have characteristics of both animals and plants."

"Specifically?" the broadcaster asked.

Atomic Man said, "How could it be specific? We don't have that much time."

The broadcaster thought for a moment and then asked the question in a different phrasing.

"How's the technical skill level?"

The Atomic Man replied, "They have just completed the technological development of nuclear fission reactors, roughly equivalent to the early stages of the human crisis era, several decades earlier. However, their industry differs greatly from that of humans because they possess plant-like characteristics and have an innate high resistance to flames. Their metal smelting is done through biosynthesis."

"Biotechnology?" the broadcaster asked in surprise.

After thinking for a moment, Atomic Man replied, "I suppose so. So in terms of carbon-based biological gene technology, we might be a bit more advanced. But I don't know exactly how advanced, without knowing."

"And space?" the announcer continued.

Atomic Man said, "There are some satellite-like things, without space fleets or space cities, but relying on their plant characteristics, they have completed the colonization of a nearby planet within a star system, and their development is not bad."

Is there anything else?

The broadcaster continued to ask, but the Atom's answer disappointed her.

"That's all. Just get a general idea. We're leaving the Milky Way soon, so we don't have much time to focus on this civilization."

The broadcaster began broadcasting, announcing this beacon of civilization.

Just as Atom was about to disconnect, the broadcaster suddenly called out to Atom and asked.

"One last question, what do you think would be a good name for this civilization?"

Atomic Humanity: "Animal and Plant Civilization, a civilization composed of special intelligent beings that exist between animals and plants."

"Ah...this is too simple and crude."

The Atomic Man retorted matter-of-factly, "What's the point of a civilization that's about to be destroyed being so poetic? Besides, isn't this record for future generations? You should consider their reading experience. A pretentious, overly literary approach will only make people's heads spin. Simplicity is much better."

"...You're right."

The record is for those who come after, and the name should indeed be simpler and clearer. The broadcaster agreed with Atom's idea, although she was somewhat suspicious that this was just a way for the other party to appease her.

……

Fifty years later, war broke out between the colonies of the animal and plant civilizations and their home planet, and the two sides formed for the first time a space fleet within the star system that could be used for space warfare.

The two sides' fleets clashed between planets, with both sides attacking and defending each other with no clear victor. Colonies and homeworlds were transformed into fortresses by both sides, and cannonballs were launched directly from the planets to bombard the enemy's planets.

On the very day that the two sides entered the final battle, the animal and plant civilizations witnessed a scene they would never forget, which was also the last scene of their civilization.

Something suddenly struck their home star, causing its surface to cave in and a massive amount of stellar material to be ejected. This was followed by the star's contraction and explosion, the terrifying power of which instantly obliterated the home planet and colonies of the animal and plant civilization, as well as the two fleets in space.

Chapter 326 Sinners of Civilization

After the Atomic People gradually became familiar with the communication methods of the Atomic Computer Network, social platforms were established through algorithms, allowing people to restore their original human appearance in the virtual world.

Of course, they can also transform into other forms. It's not surprising if you see a blade of grass and a stone doing strange things on a virtual platform, just like in the Three-Body Problem game, where the appearance of people is virtual.

A tea table sits on the white snowfield, and two people sit facing each other, sipping tea and chatting.

"It's rare that you would come to see me."

Lin Feng's gaze toward Hines was subtle. Did you come to me because you need something from me?

Even if I am now in a high position of power, you don't have to distance yourself from me like this, do you?

Hines felt a little awkward under Lin Feng's gaze, so he coughed and said, "I just didn't want to disturb your work, Mr. Taylor."

Lin Feng shook his head. "Don't bother me. Actually, I'm quite free most of the time, and I welcome old friends to visit."

"So, what do you think about this matter..."

Lin Feng did not immediately agree to Hines' request for help, but instead asked a question in return.

"Can you tell me what your relationship is with them? I remember your relationship with your husband is still pretty good."

Hines wanted Lin Feng to help save two people, both of whom were women, or rather, young women before atomization, which was a bit complicated.

"No, no, no, Taylor, you absolutely mustn't let Keiko hear that, or I'll be in big trouble."

Hines waved his hands in a panic and hurriedly explained, "They are both my students. As their teacher, I certainly don't want to just watch them reach the end of their lives. After atomization, human lifespans are very long. They still have many wonderful times to experience and shouldn't end so soon."

"This is my personal consideration. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, just pretend I never asked you for a favor."

Lin Feng remained silent for a while. He roughly understood what was going on with the two people that Hines wanted him to save. Those two people had committed the most serious crimes since the atomization of humanity.

The crime of leaking civilized information!

According to the principles of offense and defense, if all information about existence and location is leaked, human civilization will inevitably face a very dangerous situation, and contact with other civilizations will inevitably expose information about its own existence.

"There's something I'd like to ask," Lin Feng said quietly.

“Please feel free to ask,” Hines said seriously.

Lin Feng asked, "Did you instruct them to do this, Hines?"

This time it was Hines' turn to be silent. He shook his head with a wry smile in response.

"They wanted to do it themselves; I was unaware of it."

Lin Feng sighed deeply and said, "Alright, I'll take responsibility for this."

……

"Sinner! Who gave you the right to do this!"

"Your actions are utterly inhumane!"

"What if our information about civilization is leaked? That would be a catastrophe for us!"

"Burn them! Use a slow fire!"

"Now that we're all atomized, fire can't harm us! We should format their mainframe data and make them the first atomic beings to be executed!"

"Yes! Format it! Sentence him to immediate execution!"

"Trial them!"

"Trial them!"

This was a civilization-level trial. Among the observers were atomic humans and atomic Trisolarans. Although both were atomized, there were still differences in their thinking. The atomic Trisolarans were primarily rational and had a strong sense of collective consciousness, while the atomic humans were the opposite, with more emotion in their thinking and a weaker sense of collective consciousness.

But at this moment, they are on the same level, and there is no longer any difference between them.

The trial of criminals who violate civilization, whether driven by emotion or reason, is filled with excitement and indignation.

"quiet!"

The judge struck the gavel. It was a virtual world, so it was just a formality, but the effect was still obvious. The courtroom fell silent within seconds.

"How much information did you reveal? And how much did they know?" the judge asked.

The defendant said, "I will repeat myself. I asked my friend to help me, but she knew nothing about it. I deliberately concealed some of the facts."

The judge struck the gavel again, issuing a solemn warning.

“Yanlan, you have been trying to take all the blame, but we need to remind you that this approach is not good for you or for the person you are trying to protect.”

The prosecutor stated, "The low-speed backup memory information has been deciphered. Based on the content of the exchange, Yanlan's friend provided assistance after fully understanding Yanlan's purpose; she did not tell the truth."

Yanlan's expression changed slightly, and she said excitedly, "She only knows part of the story! You can't just distort the facts to target me!"

"Whether it is true or not, we will naturally continue to investigate further. The impartiality of the court is subject to public scrutiny," the judge replied calmly.
