The stars, but they become the gray wind

"Why install that? It would be better to shove a few more anti-planetary relativistic missiles in there and use beyond-visual-range firepower to destroy the enemy where they can't see. That would be the right solution."

"We can't have direct firepower against the enemy, right?"

"A phased array of gamma-ray lasers composed of superconductors distributed throughout the entire hull is sufficient. Remember, with the power output of our spacecraft, the range of the gamma-ray laser beam on board can reach hundreds of light seconds."

"At worst, our ship is equipped with a considerable number of ultra-relativistic particle beam weapons. By firing positron beams at speeds extremely close to the speed of light, even if the enemy is made of zero-element material, the power of the positron beams as antimatter weapons is enough to devastate them."

"And considering the actual circumstances of this operation, we pretty much only need to warp to the edge of the enemy galaxy and provide firepower guidance for the hyper-light (I) 児又珊澾绮思罢 rapid, long-range strikes. Even if we encounter an enemy counterattack, it will most likely be an interstellar high-energy laser beam fired by the fastest-reacting Dyson Cloud Laser, or a sporadic direct attack by relativistic missiles. The weapons configuration on the Fantasy Light is more than enough to handle such a situation."

"Well, after all, we are in the same fleet this time. If necessary, it would be better to use our weapons to complement each other."

In the A001 neutron galaxy, more than millions of large and small battle groups composed of unmanned fleets are making final preparations before the jump. On the neutron star behind the fleet is a new type of stellar celestial body giant built by the Sky Star civilization in the past decade - the [Quantum Slingshot]. Through the exotic matter extracted from the core of the neutron star and another precise coordinate positioning device built on the main sequence star specifically for high-dimensional space jumps, the [Heavenly Navigation Tower], this unprecedented large-scale fleet cluster jump will be carried out with extremely high precision with the assistance of the [Quantum Slingshot] and the [Heavenly Navigation Tower].

As the quantum slingshot extracted a steady stream of strange quark matter from the neutron star, the fleet, divided into millions of battle groups, was enveloped by high-dimensional space warp bubbles of varying diameters. In the nearby star system, the celestial navigation tower powered by stellar energy tore open the channel of multi-dimensional space. In the higher dimension, the specific frequency gravitational waves it emitted were like a bright light, becoming the positioning beacon for the fleet during this ultra-long-distance, ultra-large-scale high-dimensional space jump, providing millions of fleet battle groups with precise point-to-point coordinate jumps over a distance of more than 100,000 light years.

As countless warp bubbles closed and disappeared in three-dimensional space, countless fleets rushed towards the Large Magellanic Cluster 15 light-years away. The largest military operation in the history of the Milky Way, named "Whiplash", officially began.

Chapter 167: A One-Sided, Overwhelming War Against the Black Mist (6000 words)

In the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud, R136a1, a Wolf-Rayet star, is burning brightly. Above the star's pole, a huge black collecting coil provides powerful gravitational force through traction beams, harvesting the abundant heavy elements on the surface of the star below. The black fog core of the entire galaxy is located at the top of the collecting coil. The central core, composed of a complex hexagonal structure, controls the Dyson cloud orbiting the entire star, continuously obtaining large amounts of heavy elements from the highly active stellar wind of the Wolf-Rayet star. Each module facility is also equipped with a huge triangular phase laser tower. In addition to being used as a weapon to launch interstellar light-speed strikes, these laser towers can also be used to accelerate light sail spacecraft or for long-distance interstellar communication.

A small mirror bubble appeared in a dense gas nebula hundreds of astronomical units away from the star. Twelve spacecraft, led by Salem and Fantasy Light, arrived at the outskirts of the Wolf-Rayet star system numbered R136a1.

"The jump is complete, the error is less than the Planck scale... The target star has been observed, the long-range induction indicator is activated, and we are ready for a superluminal long-range strike!" Calisi calmly gave orders to this small fleet.

.........

In the Xiangque galaxy, under the close observation and coordinate guidance provided by the fleet, in the control center of the superluminal strike device, Zao Chiqi pulled the trigger without hesitation. A group of strange quark matter from the neutron star Xiangque jumped into the high-dimensional space through the acceleration orbit of the superluminal catapult field, and headed straight for the target 165000 light-years away.

"The long-range strike has been launched, estimated arrival time: 20 minutes!" Zao Chiqi reported meticulously.

.........

"Confirm the location of the enemy's outer solar system observation post. Heavy anti-space fortification relativistic missiles, launch!"

A relativistic missile with a diameter of more than 80 meters, a body length of 2500 meters, and a warhead mass of more than tens of millions of tons was ejected from the vertical launch unit on the side of the hull. It accelerated to a terrifying speed of 99.9992 times the speed of light in just a few hundred kilometers, and smashed into an observation and warning outpost on the periphery of the star system 8 light minutes away. Due to the limit of the speed of light, such an outpost did not react until eight minutes after the fleet appeared, and intercepted the relativistic missile that was approaching at high speed.

Gamma-ray lasers with a power of over hundreds of TW shot out from the laser defense module of the observation station. Multiple gamma-ray lasers with a power of hundreds of TW hit the warhead part of the relativistic missile made of almost absolutely smooth zero-element material. The warhead part irradiated by the gamma-ray laser instantly emitted an extremely strong light. The curved surface of the zero-element material warhead refracted all the gamma-ray lasers hitting itself to other directions. After being directly irradiated by the high-powered gamma-ray laser, the relativistic missile was still intact and rushed straight to the outer observation station of the star system that was already within reach.

When the relativistic missile was less than 100,000 kilometers away from the observation station, the antimatter in the warhead blew the warhead weighing tens of millions of tons into countless fragments traveling at nearly the speed of light. The entire observation station was instantly hit by a fierce blanket of debris rain composed of countless fragmented zero-element matter. Immediately afterwards, a small-scale gamma-ray burst occurred at the location of the observation station. After a flash of light, this observation outpost on the outskirts of the star system no longer existed.

“敌方外围观察哨站已摧毁……超光速长城打击抵达倒计时5、4、3、2、1！”

A mirror-like bubble with a diameter of only several kilometers appeared at the equator of R136a1. Before the Dyson Cloud facility controlling the entire star could react, a dense jet of strange quark matter directly and unimpeded penetrated a Dyson Cloud photovoltaic module with a diameter of more than thousands of kilometers, and shot directly into the center of the star like a bullet.

[Superluminal long-range strike has arrived]

[Detection of strike effectiveness signal]

[Confirmed to have hit the target star]

After the strange particle storm, which was close to the speed of light, reached the core of the star, it quickly caused the nuclear reaction of the entire star to go out of control as planned. The R136a1 star began to shrink inward and collapse rapidly. In the out-of-control stellar fusion reaction, the core of R136a1 was eventually squeezed to the limit. At this moment, time seemed to stop.

Then, there was a supernova explosion like the Big Bang. The tens of billions of Dyson cloud energy collection facilities orbiting R136a1 were destroyed in the light of the supernova explosion. The gamma-ray burst swept across the entire galaxy. All the spacecraft and space facilities in the black fog in the entire star system suffered a devastating blow in the supernova explosion.

This same phenomenon occurred not only in the R136a1 system. At the same time, Sky Star and the Glass Eel launched a blitzkrieg-style assault on the Black Mist entrenched in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Millions of fleets dispersed into countless smaller battle groups. Using the precise point-to-point leaps of their hyperspace jump engines, they reached the outskirts of the Black Mist's controlled star systems, often hundreds of astronomical units from a star. From these locations, they provided long-range fire guidance and precise coordinate positioning for the superluminal, long-range strikes from behind. Across the hundreds of thousands of star systems in the Large Magellanic Cloud, scenes similar to those in R136a1 unfolded one after another. Because the Black Mist's early warning outposts, deployed to defend against near-light-speed, long-range interstellar strikes, located hundreds of astronomical units from the galaxy's edge often contained only a few. The fleets that silently leaped there effortlessly destroyed these scattered outposts, scattered hundreds of astronomical units from the star. Just as the Black Mist noticed the outposts had lost contact, the superluminal, long-range strikes had already struck the star itself.

In just less than an hour, more than hundreds of thousands of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud had been transformed into supernovas or black holes by the superluminal Great Wall. In these star systems, the industrial facilities and infrastructure of the Black Fog were almost completely destroyed in the light that erupted at the moment of the star's death. Both the Dyson Cloud and the stellar energy-collecting coils no longer existed after the violent supernova explosion.

A small number of spacecraft or space facilities that happened to be located behind gas giant planets or other massive celestial bodies in the galaxy when the supernova exploded survived the flash of star death, but were immediately met with a "mopping-up" attack by the Sky Star fleet.

When the Black Mist fleet and space station, which had been severely damaged in the devastating disaster of the supernova explosion, had just come to their senses, the Sky Star battle group rushed directly in their faces through short-distance warp travel. Moreover, the Sky Star fleet that was performing the cleanup work did not clear away the high-energy particles and Hawking radiation close to the speed of light accumulated at the front of the warp bubble before leaving the warp travel. When the unmanned fleet left the warp, the high-energy particle jets and Hawking radiation accumulated on the warp bubble directly hit the Black Mist fleet and space station that had been severely damaged in front, and once again triggered a series of small-scale gamma-ray bursts in the galaxy.

After enduring supernova explosions, the baptism of Hawking radiation and gamma-ray bursts specially prepared for the enemy by the Sky Star fleet when it broke out of warp speed, and the countless relativistic missiles and artillery shells launched by the Sky Star civilization in the final cleanup phase, and suffering devastating damage from warheads composed of magnetic monopole fragments extracted and mass-produced from the Sunny Kite, the black fog in hundreds of thousands of star systems was completely eliminated, leaving only a large number of supernovae and massive black holes produced after the death of stars in their place.

From the perspective of the black fog, on its star map constructed by a series of extremely complex quantum entanglement principles, more than 100,000 light spots went out in an instant. Its quantum supercomputing array spread throughout the galaxy was doing its best to analyze what on earth it had encountered?

On the other side of the Milky Way, the Sky Star civilization is distributed in hundreds of thousands of star systems. Tens of thousands of superluminal Great Wall strike facilities built on stars are frantically firing at the Large Magellanic Cloud 15 light-years away. Through the high-dimensional space channels created by the superluminal catapult sites and the precise positioning provided by the front-line fleets, the Sky Star civilization has completed the construction of tens of thousands of superluminal long-range strike platforms, and the Glass Eel civilization has newly built more than 30 stellar celestial projects and superluminal strike devices in the past few decades. Both sides were able to send the first wave of more than tens of thousands of long-range strikes to each other's faces, giving the Black Mist an unexpected slap in the face.

.........

Inside the Sky Star Superluminal Strike System Command Center

"The first wave of attacks has been completed... Begin verifying the effectiveness of the attacks!"

"Destroy a total of 104,100 enemy stellar celestial projects, including 9715 blue giants, 10705 red giants and red supergiants, 20255 neutron stars and white dwarfs, and 99425 red dwarfs!"

"It has been confirmed that our fleet's casualties in this attack were zero!"

"Start the second wave of attack immediately!"

"All FTL long-range strike platforms begin charging and enter Phase Two!"

With the huge energy supply provided by the celestial project of more than tens of thousands of stars, Sky Star and Glass Eel launched the second phase of the attack on the Large Magellanic Cloud as planned.

In the Large Magellanic Cloud, the unmanned fleet of the Sky Star civilization, which had completed the first phase of cleanup work, once again activated its high-dimensional space jump engine and carried out long-distance cluster jumps towards other important node planets in the Large Magellanic Cloud located in the Black Fog, leaving behind only stars that had turned into supernovas and black holes.

…………

In the R136a1 galaxy, which had already gone supernova, to ensure a thorough cleanup of the black fog, Calisi, during her final cleanup, unleashed hundreds of thousands of relativistic missiles filled with magnetic monopole fragments into the gravitational diameter of the R136a1 star's Hill sphere. Trillions of light-speed fragments covered everything within the galaxy's gravitational range.

As a flaw in space-time itself, each monopole fragment is composed of an unsightly little node with a mass of one trillion protons. All monopole fragments have a uniform mass and charge, and can even cut through the zero-element or color nuclear force material shell of the Black Fog spacecraft like a hot knife through butter.

Under the blanket attack of magnetic monopole fragments at a speed close to the speed of light, after the supernova explosion, all the facilities belonging to the Black Mist that were still functioning in the galaxy had turned into basic particles in the universe. After seeing that all the Black Mist units in the entire star system had been completely cleared, Calisi was relieved to lead the fleet to start the high-dimensional space jump again, intending to remove other node star systems that were important to the Black Mist.

…………

"No wonder it's called Black Mist...the appearance and color of these things are completely black." On the Fantasy Light, Kalisi was communicating with Yuki and the Salem on the communication channel.

"I can only say that Black Mist's aesthetic is quite unique. Although both the Zero Element material and the Color Nuclear Force Armor are originally silvery-white like a mirror."

"It's not difficult to color this material using special techniques, but most people still prefer the original color of this material."

"I have to say, Black Mist, as a super artificial intelligence, even if it's just an out-of-control super artificial intelligence, actually has a preference for the main color of its own technological products?"

"Rather than dwelling on the Black Mist's preference for color, shouldn't the most urgent task be to completely kill it?"

"The other fleets are advancing triumphantly right now. Indeed, using this kind of absolute firepower to suppress the enemy and completely annihilate a large number of the enemy's manpower with a single shot is the true solution to interstellar warfare."

…………

For civilizations like the Sky Star Civilization and the Glass Eel Civilization, in large-scale interstellar wars, what determines victory or defeat is the superluminal strike facilities of the stellar celestial engineering projects of both sides, rather than the fleet. The beyond-visual-range firepower provided by the superluminal strike facilities can accurately and completely destroy the opponent's star system. The fleet is like the drones on the battlefield in the 21st century. While providing reconnaissance functions, it can also serve as an integrated reconnaissance and strike drone and a smaller-scale firepower supplement.

For both sides, sometimes the fleet can even be an oversized smart missile, using the fleet's maneuverability to provide a powerful advantage of flexible confrontation with multiple means.

The fleet can make corresponding tactical changes according to changes in the enemy and our own situation, such as intercepting the enemy's superluminal strikes or near-light-speed weapons, bypassing the enemy's Dyson cloud laser and relativistic missile fire kill zone, infiltrating and attacking space facilities, reconnaissance and secondary reconnaissance to adjust the target and method of attack.

Of course, the above situation will basically not be encountered in this war. In this battle against the Large Magellanic Cloud, most of the tasks that the fleet needs to do are just to provide guidance for the superluminal and beyond-visual-range firepower of the stellar celestial project in the rear, and to carry out the corresponding finishing work after the attack is completed.

…………

If a vacuum has sound, then the tens of thousands of stellar celestial projects and superluminal strike platforms within the territory of the Sky Star civilization must be roaring towards the void of space. Every time a strike is completed, the superluminal catapult field will further extract the energy and matter of the entire star through the star control body, and immediately launch an attack on the next target after the charging is completed. Under the control of the Tree of Life, the superluminal long-range strike device cooperates with the fleet 15 light-years away almost seamlessly. After each small battle group arrives at a new star system and indicates the target for the superluminal catapult field at the rear, the superluminal strike platform at the rear will immediately open fire at the corresponding coordinates and create a new supernova or black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

…………

"The HV888 red giant has been destroyed, and cleanup work is now underway."

In the second round of attacks, hundreds of thousands of stars were ignited in the blink of an eye. With its mobility and communication capabilities completely crushed by the enemy, the Black Mist was almost unable to organize any effective resistance. Without unlimited superluminal communication capabilities, it could only rely on dwarf planet or even planet-sized light quantum entanglement to communicate with base stations. Not only were these base stations extremely fragile, but their communication bandwidth was also quite limited. Moreover, these communication base stations simply could not survive the superluminal attack that turned the entire star into a supernova or a black hole. Limited by the limit of the speed of light, from the perspective of the Sky Star civilization, the reaction speed of the Black Mist in various galaxies was comparable to that of a turtle. Once the outposts outside the stars that provided early warning for the entire galaxy were destroyed, the Black Mist could only use conventional optical observation methods to determine the movements of the Sky Star Fleet, which was located hundreds of astronomical units at the edge of the galaxy. At this distance, due to the delay caused by the speed of light, the position of the Sky Star Fleet seen by the Black Mist was already the same as that of several hours or even days ago. Even the fastest-reacting Dyson Cloud Laser would take the same amount of time to reach the Sky Star Fleet located hundreds of astronomical units away.

Before the Black Mist's counterattack arrived, the superluminal long-range attack from the Milky Way had completely destroyed the entire star system. The small number of Black Mist fleets and military facilities that survived the supernova explosion were simply unable to resist the small-scale fleet battle group of the Sky Star civilization, which had absolute mobility and firepower advantages.

…………

"If we keep going at this speed, I think we will be able to completely destroy all of the opponent's industrial nodes soon..." The red-haired cat girl on the Salem was calculating the current progress of the strategy for the black fog control area of ​​the Large Magellanic Cloud. In this short battle of less than a week, tens of millions of supernovas and stellar-level massive black holes have appeared in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This statistically speaking, more than 5000 million stars that have been ignited and turned into supernovas and black holes are the results of the battle between the Sky Star Civilization and the Glass Eels so far. Most of them are the results of the tens of thousands of superluminal long-range strike platforms of the Sky Star Civilization, and a small part is the result of the more than 30 superluminal strike platforms of the Glass Eels.

The various galaxies of the Black Mist, which had no ability to travel faster than the speed of light, were completely fighting on their own during this hellish week. As soon as the front-line reconnaissance fire guidance fleet of the Sky Star civilization appeared at the edge of the galaxy, within half an hour, everything in the entire galaxy would return to the state of elementary particles in the dazzling star explosion. After seeing that the counterattack had no effect, the Black Mist in each galaxy tried to evacuate before the arrival of the Sky Star strike fleet. A large number of fleets took away everything they could in the galaxy with the highest efficiency, including industrial equipment and von Neumann self-replicator clusters, but this was obviously in vain.

The Sky Star Fleet, which has the ability to travel and detect at superluminal speeds, can easily locate the specific position and direction of the Black Mist Fleet that is trying to escape by relying on point-to-point high-dimensional space jumps, and can also deliver a precise superluminal strike to them. A week is not even enough for these fleets to get away from their star system. Almost all the fleeing fleets are accurately wiped out by the superluminal strikes guided by the Sky Star Fleet that catch up with them in the process of trying to escape.

Inside the Sky Star orbital dock, Cabot looked at the changing holographic star map of the Large Magellanic Cloud in front of him. The black part representing the black fog was gradually shrinking, while the green part representing the Sky Star fleet was rapidly expanding.

"Not bad. As a small pest control operation, this is quite efficient."

"But if we continue at this pace, it will still take quite a while..."

"How about... speeding up a bit at the same time?"

"Forget it... It's just a bug extermination. I won't interfere with anything my daughters can handle on their own... But it seems like there might be some unexpected situations along the way?"

"Hmm...it doesn't seem like a particularly dangerous accident. It's just the pests' dying struggles and counterattacks...they should be able to handle it themselves."

"Once this big cleaning is over, I'll naturally have to give my daughters some rewards..."

"After all, pest control is a job that is time-consuming and labor-intensive." Cabot said, his gaze fixed on the center of the Milky Way, or more precisely, on the massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Chapter 168: A Strange-Looking Unknown Giant Structure

In the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud, two neutron stars are rotating around each other at high speed. The neutron stars rotating around each other cause periodic fast radio bursts in the macroscopic three-dimensional universe, and on the space-time level, the space-time distortion created by the binary neutron star coefficients causes waves of ripples. Through the gravitational waves emitted by these two neutron stars, the Salem and the Ultima Thule led two small battle groups and used them as guiding beacons. They jumped through high-dimensional space and appeared in the star system. In this binary neutron star system, there are more than a dozen small battle groups like the two. The core flagships of these small battle groups have one feature, that is, these core flagships are carrying a very small number of real sky aliens, rather than those unmanned fleets completely controlled by AI that are still fighting everywhere in the Large Magellanic Cloud like tireless fighting machines.

"I'm a bit tired. I've been doing the same thing over and over again for a while now. It's such mechanical work that lasts for several months straight. Even if our bodies are made of nano-machinery that won't tire, we'll still feel a certain degree of mental fatigue!"

On the Utopia Light, Renlong lay on the operating table with a tired look on his face, complaining with his eyes closed.

The war with the Black Mist had lasted for three months. During these three months, both the Utopian Light and the Salem, and the battle groups they were in, had been constantly repeating jumps, activating induction to provide sighting and coordinates for the FTL strike, confirming the strike results, mopping up the damage, and then jumping to the next target, and then repeating the above process mechanically. For these three months, everyone was almost endlessly alternating between entering and exiting jumps, repeating this mechanical process. Also working were a dozen other small battle groups that were also resting in the galaxy. Like the Salem, the core flagships of these small battle groups were also volunteered to follow the entire fleet to the Large Magellanic Cloud to launch a full-scale attack on the Black Mist, totaling about several thousand Sky Star people.

Although the tireless unmanned fleet controlled by AI does not need to rest, after three months of high-intensity mechanical combat, as beings that were originally transformed and evolved from intelligent creatures, both the Calisi group and the other thousands of Sky Star people who came with them would feel a certain degree of mental fatigue. Therefore, under the dispatch of the artificial intelligence of each fleet and the Tree of Life, all fleet battle groups commanded by living Sky Star people took a rest in this neutron galaxy for a period of time. During this period, millions of unmanned fleets and the Milky Way's superluminal long-range strike facilities continued to maintain an all-out attack on the various galaxies occupied by the black fog.

"I'm exhausted... We've blown up at least a few stars in the past three months, right?"

"Almost...if not 1000, then at least 900. I've been watching stars explode lately and I'm almost sick of it."

"You know what? I've always been very interested in massive supernova explosions, these spectacular cosmic astronomical events, but now..."

"The last thing I want to see is the repetitive and boring work of blowing up stars. It's such a spectacular sight, but now I'm tired of it."

"And come to think of it, we haven't slept in over two months, right? We've been constantly traveling between galaxies, blowing up stars, cleaning up after the explosions, and then continuing on our journey, and then blowing up more..."

"But these three months have also yielded remarkable results... We've destroyed nearly half of the star systems in the Black Fog. The other party's industrial production capacity and energy output power in the Large Magellanic Cloud have now dropped by at least 60%. As long as we work harder, we can completely eliminate it from the Large Magellanic Cloud within half a year!" Yuki clenched his fists.

"I don't think it's that simple. They haven't organized any effective counterattacks in three full months, but that doesn't mean Black Mist hasn't prepared a powerful attack for us. Furthermore, the energy consumed by such a large and intensive FTL long-range strike in such a short period of time in the Milky Way has already caused instability in many of the stars at the core of the FTL long-range strike platforms. Several main-sequence stars have experienced helium flashes and tendencies to become red giants due to excessive extraction of stellar matter in a short period of time. Sky Star is even planning to replenish its FTL long-range strike platforms by extracting energy from nearby undeveloped stars."

"Speaking of which... the density of superluminal attacks on the Large Magellanic Cloud seems to have indeed decreased a bit in the past two weeks..."

"Because some of the facilities are consuming energy too quickly, they need to be shut down temporarily to allow time for them to extract matter and energy from the massive star next door as a temporary supplement."

"What about the glass eels?"

"They're fine. The superluminal, long-range strikes they launch are more of an auxiliary nature. Therefore, the energy consumption caused by intensive fire on massive celestial bodies in a short period of time is not as outrageous as ours."

"It's a good thing the other side doesn't have superluminal technology. Otherwise, this war would have become a protracted stalemate, and only the larger force would have emerged victorious."

Supernovae shone across an entire arm of the Large Magellanic Cloud, igniting an area the size of its arm. Hundreds of millions of supernovae and stellar-mass black holes illuminated the night sky of the entire Large Magellanic Cloud. As the high-dimensional space jump engine spacecraft continued to leap, they left behind a series of destructions. Hundreds of millions of stars were completely transformed into supernovae that lit up the night sky and black holes that symbolized nothingness under the influence of superluminal strikes.

Under the fierce attack, the Black Mist finally reacted to the limitations of the light speed threshold and barely organized some decent means. However, due to its own limitations on the speed of light, the speed limit of navigation and large-scale communication, the Black Mist could only do Aqiang. Currently, the remaining areas under its control are clearly fortified, and a large number of devices called bunker rings are arranged on the stellar ecliptic plane to defend against superluminal long-range attacks that may come at any time.

These bunker rings are generally constructed using color-nuclear armor. Due to the special properties of color-nuclear armor, even antimatter weapons are nearly indestructible, as long as they are not antiquarks or antigluons corresponding to the color-nuclear armor material. Furthermore, the bunker rings constructed from these materials can withstand long-range attacks in the physical universe that travel at speeds close to the speed of light.

However, it is obviously impossible to intercept the superluminal long-range attack that is far more technologically advanced than the Black Fog by using this method. Normal superluminal long-range attacks from main-sequence stars may not be able to destroy the entire shelter star ring at once, but superluminal ammunition composed of strange quark matter from neutron stars can still easily penetrate the color-nuclear force armor that constitutes the shelter star ring and directly rush into the core of the star, causing the collapse of the entire star.

At the same time, there is more than one way to destroy color-nuclear force materials. As a large hadronic material, in addition to being destroyed by extremely special microscopic antimatter such as the corresponding antiquarks and antigluons, if a massive black hole directly collides with the color-nuclear force material, the entire piece of armor will be easily eaten away by the powerful gravitational force of the black hole's event horizon.

In addition, the magnetic monopole matter from Xiangyangyuan, as a defect in the space-time level, can also destroy the seemingly indestructible material such as the color nuclear force armor material. At least in the knowledge of Calisi and others, they have no less than ten methods to destroy this indestructible material.

"So, besides resting in this system, there's nothing else for us to do?"

"Theoretically, no. If you really have nothing to do, go observe the data from those two neutron stars out there." Kalisi saw that Yuuki and Renlong were both beginning to look tired and bored.

"Oh right... you guys mentioned... Neutron stars can also be used as a power supply system for a faster-than-light strike platform. Can we come up with something creative?"

"For example, using the neutron star itself as a disposable cannonball or something."

"You're... even more outrageous than shooting an arrow to the moon, right?"

"But this kind of thing is still quite feasible. You see, although the density of a neutron star is large and its mass is heavy, its volume is very small, with a diameter of only about 20 kilometers, which is completely within the diameter and acceleration range of the superluminal catapult field coil. As long as we can theoretically propel a neutron star into the launch port of the superluminal catapult field and use the superluminal catapult field to accelerate the neutron star to near the speed of light, the diameter of each coil is more than 100 kilometers. Even if the mass of the neutron star is a bit large, its volume can be used as a cannonball to be stuffed into the acceleration coil and fired out. Moreover, that is a neutron star, directly heading towards the opposite star, or even a black hole, Dyson cloud, or Penrose sphere. No matter how powerful the bunker star ring defense is, it can't withstand a direct impact from a neutron star close to the speed of light, right?"

"Your idea is a bit too simplistic and crude, although I have reservations."

Although this process may not be difficult in terms of technology and engineering...but in the current state of war, unless we really encounter a hard bone that cannot be chewed no matter how hard we try, I think we will definitely not use such an outrageous and dirty trick.

In the Milky Way, within the territory of the Sky Star civilization, a large star gate, risking the collapse of the wormhole channel due to interference from the star's gravity, began to use high-powered directional tractor beams arranged around the star gate to siphon energy and matter from the undeveloped stars below. After the tractor beam was activated, trillions of tons of stellar matter were sucked into the star gate every minute and injected into the superluminal long-range strike platform at the other end of the large wormhole channel created by the Golden Gate. The energy of other stars in nearby galaxies was extracted through the wormhole channel to replenish the astonishing energy consumption of the central celestial body of the superluminal long-range strike platform caused by overly intensive continuous attacks.

Although some of the superluminal strike platforms did not launch large-scale destruction on the Large Magellanic Cloud like the first round of attacks due to the short CD period of recharging, more than tens of thousands of superluminal Great Wall strike platforms coordinated. While one group was refueling the central star that supplied energy, another group continued to fire accurately at new targets in the Large Magellanic Cloud. With each firing, a supernova or massive black hole would appear in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

In the Large Magellanic Cloud, long-distance support, which is a cheating method beyond visual range, is being advanced at full speed on all fronts as part of the fleet battle group. All industrial facilities and technologies of the Black Mist have suffered devastating damage.

When the war had lasted for six months, the balance of victory almost completely tilted towards Sky Star. The black fog that once occupied more than billions of stars, nearly 90% of the star systems had been completely lost, and nearly 1/10 of the total number of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud had disappeared in this interstellar war.

After a lightning-fast all-out advance, the Sky Star fleet finally encountered a tough nut to crack - a black hole galaxy with a defense like a turtle shell.

…………

"This thing... is a black hole?" Hundreds of astronomical units away from the black hole, the USS Fantasy Light and the USS Salem, which had just completed their repairs and were about to join the battle again, had just led their small battle groups to jump here, but the scene that unfolded before everyone was unexpected.

Here, they did not see a black hole, but a smooth silver-white sphere with a diameter of more than two astronomical units. The entire black hole was wrapped in the center of this huge silver-white Dyson sphere.

"What is this? A Penrose sphere?" Yuki asked in confusion.

"No! It's not that simple. This thing is not just a Penrose sphere built around a black hole." Carlisle looked at the scan results of the object sent by various spacecraft.
