Chapter 35 The Galaxy Alliance Is Too Dangerous
Bernd lost sleep...

He had recently suffered from swarmer syndrome, a condition in which sufferers, after learning of certain things that swarmers do, will sink into varying degrees of negativity for long periods of time.

Swarm Syndrome also existed in the past, and most of the patients were starship crew members. Later, when the swarm creatures ravaged the galaxy, the number of such patients surged especially sharply on the administrative star.

Let’s talk about how Berndt suffered from this disease.

It was at a certain military meeting, and I saw how the swarm creatures controlled a star that was in a state of explosion in a completely unreasonable way...

Since then, Berndt suffered from insomnia, and often accompanied by headaches. After medical diagnosis, his pain was not caused by physicality, but by mental disorders.

"Mr. Berndt, are you feeling better recently?"

A soft alien resembling a blue slime with one eye enters Berndt's infirmary with a gift.

When Bernd saw the visitor, he didn't exchange too many greetings, but asked him the most concerned question.

"Those things are not important, Redis, how is the situation on the front line?"

"Then do you want to hear the truth or the truth?"

Asking back, Redis stretched out a few tentacles from the software, and put the gift he brought to visit his old friend on the table.

"Of course it's the truth. If you want to hear good news, why would I ask you? Why don't you just deceive yourself?" Berndt said dissatisfied.

High-level lies can be misleading with the truth in order to achieve the purpose of deception. Redis asked this, naturally reminding Berndt to pay attention to his condition.

Redis said: "It is not optimistic. The Dias Empire has completely fallen, and more than half of the Banner Federation's star field has been reduced to an area where bee swarms are raging. Fortunately, the loss of the alliance fleet is not serious. The bee swarm creatures After the alliance fleet joined the battlefield, the speed of the offensive slowed down a lot.”

After learning about the current situation from his friend, Berndt breathed a sigh of relief. When he first saw that the swarm creatures could resist the explosion of stars, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The current situation is not good, but it is not too bad, at least there is no comprehensive rout.

"Has the Alliance reverse-engineered the ability of the swarm creatures to restrain the explosion of stars?" Berndt asked impatiently.

"The general principle has been researched and understood." Redis said.

Redis explained to his friends the shady principle of the bee colony that blocks the explosion of stars.

"Through the direct action of psionic energy on the characteristics of space-time, a region of infinitely stretched space-time is created, which is a space-time structure similar to a black hole."

"Black hole? No, it doesn't make sense. Those swarm creatures can obviously stretch those black things arbitrarily." Berndt questioned.

Berndt is not a scholar specialized in celestial bodies, but as the chief commander of the fleet, he must have in-depth research on various celestial bodies in the universe, otherwise, as the chief commander, he would not be able to use the cosmic environment to create a favorable battlefield for his own fleet .

If the black hole can be arbitrarily flattened and rounded, then it would be a simple matter for the swarm creatures to directly pull out the singularity inside the black hole in an instant.

Just by imagining it, Berndt felt powerless.

Seeing that my friend misunderstood, Radis explained: "A space-time structure similar to a black hole does not mean that it is a black hole, because those structures that act on space-time with psionic energy do not have singularities like black holes. "

"There's nothing in there at first, and it's only when matter falls that there's a singularity there."

"So, the swarm creatures can arbitrarily stretch those space-time structures similar to black holes, because there is no singularity in those structures, just a space-time without mass."

"Matter tells space-time how to bend, and space-time tells matter how to move. In the past, the singularity of a black hole told space-time how to bend into a pitch-black sphere. Now it is the spiritual energy that first bends space-time into a pitch-black sphere, and then lets matter fall into it, forming Singular point."

Berndt understood, but his worry has not diminished by half. Even if it is only a space-time structure similar to a black hole, any attack known by the Galaxy Alliance will not be able to cross that space-time gap and attack the enemies behind.

The enemy can attack one's side arbitrarily, but all attacks of one's side cannot take effect on the enemy, the result is self-evident.

Redis saw the concern of his friend, and added: "But don't worry, the method to crack it has been researched."

"How to do it?"

The dejected Berndt regained his spirits all of a sudden, as if he had found an oasis in the dry desert.

Redis said: "Just put in matter. With the input of matter, a singularity will be born inside the space-time structure similar to a black hole. It will become more and more difficult for bee colony creatures to use this type of structure. Finally, when the singularity energy level is greater than that of a bee The psionic energy of the swarm creatures, the swarm creatures completely lose the right to control this kind of space-time structure."

"So, the alliance can take back the star field of the Dias Empire and the occupied areas of the Banner Union?" Berndt asked a little excitedly.

Concerned about Berndt's condition, Redis hesitated and asked, "...Do you really want to know?"

"Hurry up," Berndt urged.

Redis replied: "The industrial capabilities of the swarm creatures seem to be gradually catching up with the alliance. From the current signs, it is indicated that the movable nest planets of the swarm creatures are increasing at a very high speed."

"As for the reason, I believe you should have guessed it a long time ago, that is, the swarm creatures began to extract star matter on a large scale."

"Hive creatures are different from our technological development model. They don't need to rely on war machine groups. Their productivity will increase with the increase in the number of individuals. Many stars have already been extinguished."

"The only way out for the alliance now is actually only one, and that is to realize a new round of industrial innovation, so that the technology of the alliance can be displayed more conveniently and quickly. Otherwise, relying solely on huge man-made objects, I am afraid..."

……

In the occupied Dias Empire star field, many fire trees grew on the stars in half of the star field. These fire trees are naturally stellar jets formed by planetary creatures using psionic energy to extract star matter.

The planetary life has proliferated so much that the swarms are now increasingly controlling the captured areas.

And since following the example of the Galaxy Alliance, setting up a large number of gravitational obstruction points in the captured star field, it directly caused the Starship Alliance fleet to be unable to easily break into the hinterland of the star field occupied by the bee colony at super-light speed like in the previous small-scale battles. , Using microscopic black holes to detonate stars for sneak attacks.

Small-scale battles are limited to the fringes of the star field.
