With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 395 "Antimatter Cannon"

Good news, we finally discovered a local civilization.

This anti-universe is not a real ghost town, at least there is still a civilization there.

The bad news is that the native civilization seems to regard them as invaders.

Several vague thoughts flashed through Chen Fan's mind as he tried to find a way to prevent the conflict from actually breaking out.

but……

Before he could come to his senses, changes had already appeared in the images sent back by the detector!
Brilliant beams of light shot out from the muzzles of the fixed turrets, piercing through the empty starry sky and heading straight towards the detector! !

The beam of light is dazzling.

Hundreds of beams of white light made the surrounding starry sky incredibly bright!
This is a defensive war with all our might!!

"Fuck!"

Chen Fan was shocked, and with a cry of surprise he cast his gaze towards Wang Jing who was sitting in the driver's seat.

Wang Jing did not show much panic on her face at this sudden and unexpected attack. On the contrary, at this moment, she was looking at the analysis data quickly sent back by the detector with great interest.

"Don't panic."

Wang Jing glanced at Chen Fan, whose face changed drastically, and said softly: "The probes sent to the Anti-Varilla star system are standard probes for scientific research ships. They not only have powerful detection capabilities, but also have certain self-protection capabilities."

"In theory, no civilization below level eight can cause damage to it."

Chen Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He was not afraid of problems with the detector...

He was afraid that this civilization, which he had finally found, would go astray!

If we rashly attack the research ship of the Human Union and if this happened in any other conventional universe bubble, this civilization would probably have been extinct eight hundred times!

Fortunately.

Judging from Wang Jing's interested expression, this civilization born in a special cosmic bubble has obviously been treated preferentially.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, Wang Jing reached out and pressed a few virtual buttons on the control interface in front of her.

【Warning! Probe shield is shut down! 】

hum! ! !
As a line of prompt information flashed across the holographic interface, the detector's shield output power instantly dropped, and the originally light golden shield even disappeared directly into the visible universe.

Not only that, it did not make any evasive moves, but just hovered quietly in the starry sky, waiting to be bombarded by hundreds of bright light beams in front of it.

“Eh? No!!”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan felt completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is this operation?
How can you actively shut down your shield when facing an enemy attack?
Chen Fan's eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Jing in disbelief: "Academician Wang, what are you doing..."

Operational error!

It was definitely an operational error!
Sure enough, academicians are not perfect, and they will still make mistakes when facing war...

Just when Chen Fan was mentally prepared for the loss of the detector, a faint smile appeared on Wang Jing's face.

"Don't worry, this attack may seem powerful, but for us..."

"Not the slightest threat."

……

boom! ! !
Since there was no intervention from the shield system, countless bright white light beams crossed each other and bombarded the surface of the spherical detector with incredible precision.

What is surprising is that even though the number of beams is still increasing, and even though the beams actually hit the outer armor of the detector.

but……

No warning information appeared.

There was peace in the cockpit of the research vessel, and even the original shield shutdown warning signal was silently withdrawn by the ship's main brain.

"This……"

Chen Fan was a little confused about the battle situation in front of him.

Such a dense fixed artillery defense line, such a massive offensive...

The result...is this?
"According to the Human Union's criteria, the attack method used by the other party is the 'antimatter' particle cannon."

As Wang Jing's voice sounded, parameters quickly appeared on the holographic interface in front of everyone.

"Antimatter cannon?"

Chen Fan's expression was shocked. This thing must be very powerful!
Even if the detector of the research ship uses strong interaction force armor, without the protection of a shield, it theoretically cannot withstand the attack of an antimatter cannon!

Just as these thoughts flashed through his mind, Hongshi's soft chuckle suddenly came from behind him: "I see... No wonder you said that the opponent's attack poses no threat to us."

Chen Fan: “……???”

How come it turned out like this?

"This is an antimatter cannon, how come..."

Halfway through his words, Chen Fan suddenly realized the problem.

They are now in the anti-universe. To the civilization of the anti-universe, antiparticles are normal matter in their eyes, and antimatter in their eyes...

To put it bluntly, it is just the conventional matter that can be found everywhere in the node universe.

After thinking it over, Chen Fan shook his head in a helpless manner. "These 'antimatter' particle cannons use proton beams as their means of attack."

Wang Jing glanced at Chen Fan with a smile: "The white light you see is nothing more than the light released by the annihilation of protons and antiparticles in interstellar space."

"This attack is effective against objects in the anti-universe."

"But for us..." Wang Jing's smile deepened, "Do you know what stellar wind is? To put it bluntly, for us, these 'antimatter cannons' are equivalent to an enhanced version of stellar wind."

Chen Fan was speechless.

"Since they have mastered antimatter weapons, according to the Human Union's classification standards, this civilization is at least a Level 4 civilization."

Wang Jing's eyes were filled with more and more interest. "Without any civilization around, they were able to develop to this level behind closed doors. It seems that this civilization has great potential..."

……

After several minutes of "antimatter cannon" firing, the bright white light column in the starry sky gradually dissipated.

Under the continuous bombardment of these "antimatter cannons", the number of antiparticles in this star field has almost disappeared, and has been replaced by a rather sparse proton cloud.

Thanks to this, these dozens of scientific research ship probes can travel freely in the surrounding starry sky without even having to re-enable their shields.

then……

Under Wang Jing's control, these detectors began to fly up and down in the proton cloud, showing their super high maneuverability to the civilization in front of them, trying to attract the other party's attention.

For those fixed artillery batteries and the civilization behind them...

The scene before him was nothing short of a terrifying horror movie—being able to wander around unprotected in a star field so densely packed with “antimatter”, the technological content contained in it was simply…

Unimaginable!!
really.

After those fixed turrets became stagnant, several small starships, just over a hundred meters in size, hurriedly sailed out from the interior of the star system.

They "timidly" stayed behind the artillery array, watching these detectors that were beyond common sense from afar.

Obviously, the detector in front of them made these natives feel terrified and frightened.

The starship appeared, and Wang Jing, having achieved his goal, quickly controlled the probe to hover within the proton cloud and sent an electromagnetic wave communication message to the other party.

……

For the Human Union, dealing with unknown civilizations is a very common thing.

Renlian even designed a fairly complete communication solution for this purpose - based on basic mathematics and basic physics, it built a dictionary that suits both parties.

At least in the material universe, this way of communication is very effective. Even a first-level civilization that has just begun to enter the starry sky can communicate well.

Although the two universes are a bit far apart, the way intelligent creatures think is still similar.

While waiting for a reply, Chen Fan and his companions carefully looked at the appearance of the three small starships.

The starship is generally flat, with rigid lines on its hull. At first glance, it looks like a piece of wood randomly chopped out with an axe.

At first glance, the shapes of these starships are very unfamiliar.

But if you think about it carefully, they can bring Chen Fan an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The rough and rigid hull structure is cleverly combined, and the overall construction style exudes a hint of dominance from the inside out.

In addition, the shape of the ship, which does not take into account the utilization of space, also indirectly proves that the opponent's resources are not scarce.

Considering the obviously over-dense fixed artillery positions, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion - this civilization has quite abundant resources!
Usually this trait only appears in some powerful and high-level civilizations.

A small level 4 civilization should consider how to spend every resource wisely.

"These starships..."

Chen Fan frowned and carefully recalled the many starships he had seen before. Finally, he set his sights on the ghost fleet he had just seen not long ago.

Although the starships of the Ghost Fleet are not flat in structure, there is one thing that is very similar between the two - like the Ghost Fleet, the three starships in front of them also exude a faint sense of majesty.

To put it nicely, it is the aura of being the only one who does things the way they want; to put it bluntly, it is the temperament of a nouveau riche with abundant resources and who acts casually.

Of course, compared with the Ghost Fleet, the aura of these three starships is not obvious, and you won’t even notice it if you don’t carefully think about it.

Chen Fan murmured softly: "Why do I feel that these starships seem to have some connection with the ghost fleet..."

"It does look a bit like it."

Wang Jing quickly circled some of the sharp lines on the side of the starship in the holographic image: "If I remember correctly, the ghost fleet also has a similar zigzag structure on its hull."

"Mastermind!" Wang Jing's mind moved, and he gave the order directly, "Compare the construction styles of the two."

The architectural style of a civilization is influenced by various factors.
Although this architectural style will change over time, its essential core will basically not change.

Therefore, in most cases, the construction style of starships and buildings can be regarded as the identity card of a civilization.

Under Wang Jing's command, the main interface in the cockpit simultaneously displayed images of the ghost fleet and the three starships in front of it.

According to the Academy's specific algorithm, the shipboard master brain began to compare the construction styles of both parties.

After a short wait, the ship's main computer gave a judgment.

【Style similarity: 39.1%.】

Looking at the comparison results in front of him, Chen Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

A bit, but not much.
