And so it was, until the Celestial Blade 7 sailed out about five hundred light-years or so.

It was also at this time that the surrounding space, which was basically devoid of any matter, suddenly began to change.

The surrounding space has also become much brighter.

Zhang Heng, who observed this inside the Heavenly Blade Seven, also immediately went to collect more data on the surrounding space.

In general, although there is still no matter such as dust, the presence of photons can be observed.

Even if the number of photons present, it is still very thin.

However, it can also be shown that there is a high probability of a light source nearby.

According to the previous inference, the stars may have been divided.

Then these civilizations or forces with stars will never let the light source of the stars leak out.

It also means that the source of the photons here is unlikely to be emitted by the star.

But what's worse is that the source of the photons came from the direction of the Heavenly Blade Seven......

"Be careful, there may be an unknown civilization ahead......"

Zhang Heng began to remind Yan Dao.

After thinking about it, he was still more inclined to believe that the Sky Blade Seven was about to enter the territory of an unknown civilization or force.

Or maybe there's a civilization that has just passed by in a spaceship.

These photon sources were leaked from their spacecraft.

As I said before, although there are many old six outside the metaverse, there are also many low-level civilizations.

Just like the previous triangular civilization, it relies on attachment to a certain alliance or civilization to make a living in the universe outside of the metaverse.

A civilization of this level is simply unable to be able to block all the information sources of its own spaceship like Zhang Heng.

Even the curvature technology that travels at the speed of light, they don't necessarily.

Therefore, the civilization that may exist in front of you is most likely a civilization of this level.

Otherwise, they won't be unaware that leaking information sources will expose their existence.

"Shall we take a detour, then?"

Hearing this, Yan frowned and asked.

If you want to reduce the occurrence of accidents, a detour is obviously the best option.

Anyway, no matter what level of civilization may exist in front of you, it will not affect you.

However, Zhang Heng had other ideas and was not ready to take a detour.

"Nirag didn't mention to me where the area of the Star Alliance is located outside the metaverse."

"If we want to find the Star Alliance, we have to rely on ourselves."

"Originally, I also planned to wait until I met some civilizations that were lower than us, and then find out from them."

"Now that we've met them in advance, that's them!"

After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he had already hit the idea on the civilization that might exist in front of him.

With his current level, plus Hiko, who has Maya.

If they are regarded as a civilization, then the combined strength of the two of them is already much, much stronger than the singer civilization......

Even, even the main civilization that Ita used to be on par with the marginal civilization was not as strong as them now.

Such hard power can also be said without modesty; No matter how terrifying it is outside the metaverse, there is a place for them.

The civilization that can be their opponent is definitely a minority, and it will not be all over the place.

Therefore, Zhang Heng had no reason to be afraid of the civilization that might exist in front of him.

They don't even have the ability to shield the leakage of their own information sources, and no matter how strong such a civilization is, it will not be strong enough to threaten them.

"Then according to your wishes!"

Seeing that Zhang Heng already had a proposal, Yan didn't say anything more, and directly agreed with Zhang Heng's decision.

In fact, according to her original character, she would not think of taking a detour.

Besides, she had just received a qualitative improvement, and it was time to swell.

If it weren't for the fear that Zhang Heng would criticize her for being reckless, she wanted to rush over directly from the beginning.

Although angels do not bully the weak, they also do not make way for the weak.

In particular, Zhang Heng also said that after going outside the metaverse, he had to temporarily abandon human nature.

Then there is nothing to talk about, and the strong have no reason to make way for the weak.

Then, under Zhang Heng's control, the Heavenly Blade No. 7 began to speed up again.

Although he was sure that the photons he observed were coming from the front, he could not tell how many light-years away they were coming from.

After all, theoretically speaking, the existence of a form like light, if the problem of absorption is not considered, will continue to be transmitted in an absolute vacuum.

The photons he had observed now were the first to arrive here from the source.

That is, the moment the light source shines, the first ray of light emitted.

In order to calculate the specific distance based on observations, more photon data needs to be collected.

Even if it is just a ray of light, its photons are still emitted in the form of light cones.

And the range of the light cone is so wide, there is so much effort to collect and calculate, it is better to directly accelerate to the direction of the source of the current photon.

Needless to say, after the Celestial Blade-7 moved forward at ten times the speed of light, it only took about a year to reach the light source.

"No wonder the photons observed before are all intermittent, and it turns out that the so-called light source is in this form!"

After arriving at the source of the photon, Zhang Heng was also a little surprised.

It turns out that there is not one, but two civilizations that exist in front of us.

They, at the moment, are at war.

The spaceships hit by the warring parties are not as they are in science fiction movies; Huge explosions, scattered fireballs, debris flying sideways, the ship disintegrates, and a pile of scrap metal is left.

In fact, every ship hit by an enemy weapon simply disintegrates.

The light source is the light wave strike weapon they use, shooting back and forth at each other.

These light wave strike weapons, as well as their rapid speed, instantly hit the enemy's spaceship.

After the strike, the light waves that were struck out did not disappear into the horizon that could be observed by the naked eye with the disintegration of the spacecraft.

Rather, it continues to exist at its own speed, for a long distance.

The light doesn't go away, but it decays.

This is also why Zhang Heng can only observe photons 10 light-years away.

According to preliminary estimates, the effective distance of the light wave strike weapons on both sides should be within one or two light years.

Beyond this distance, the light wave will decay indefinitely until it becomes a photon.

The two civilizations that are at war at the moment, and the scale of the war, if they are placed in a metaverse, the scale is very grand.

After all, a light-year or two can be enough to destroy a galaxy.

The three-body galaxy of the once three-body universe is only about 4 light-years away from the earth!

If they hit in the middle of these two galaxies, they could directly affect both galaxies.

Moreover, the type of light wave strike weapons they use alone are extremely destructive.

"They... Don't you know how to evade enemy fire? ”

"Both ships stay in one area and don't keep moving, just shooting at each other?"

After observing the ongoing battlefield between the two civilizations for a while, Hiko asked.

How to say it!

It's a bit like the queue to be shot at the end of the teenth century in the West of the Earth civilization.

After the front ship is destroyed, the rear ship will be on top and shoot down like this......

"This is indeed an interstellar war of its own!"

Not to mention that Yan couldn't understand it, even Zhang Heng couldn't figure out why they wanted to use this form to fight for a while.

It's all interstellar wars, do you still have to consider formations?

However, after observing for a while, Zhang Heng roughly understood what was going on.

First of all, neither side of the war is capable of moving at the speed of light, and both sides are no more than an astronomical unit away.

Secondly, the striking capabilities of both of them are not proportional to their own defense capabilities.

Once these two points are clear, it is not difficult to understand why they are lining up to be shot.

It's not that they don't want to avoid it, but where do they want to avoid it?

Not having the ability to move at the speed of light, and being so close means they can't evade their opponent's blows.

Therefore, the only way to form a formation with a spaceship can only be adopted, and the outer spacecraft can also act as a cover for the inner spacecraft while striking the enemy, which can consume the power of the enemy's weapons to a certain extent.

No, it will be destroyed by the enemy all at once.

After all, light decays, and so does lightwave strike weapons.

After destroying the first ship, even if you can destroy the second and third ships that follow, the power of the Light Wave Strike weapon will decay faster with each additional ship destroyed.

When you get to the fifth spaceship behind, you can have no worries at all.

Just wait for the ship in front of you to be destroyed by enemy fire, and then take it yourself.

Or, your own firepower is more fierce than the enemy's firepower, and before it's your turn to play, the front row of ships will annihilate the enemy.

To put it bluntly, the war between these two civilizations is a contest about whose firepower is more fierce and lasting.

"However, judging from the military strength of the two civilizations, they will only lose in the end."

Understanding is understanding their forms of war, but Zhang Heng is still not optimistic about such a form of war: "Even if there will be a winner in the end, it will be a miserable victory." ”

Zhang Heng made a considerable evaluation.

At the same time, I also feel that this form of war should not be the mainstream war mode outside the metaverse.

At this moment, the war between the two civilizations should be just a special case.

Under normal circumstances, two hostile civilizations would not get so close to each other.

What is the concept of less than one astronomical unit?

It's like the distance between the sun and the earth, there are two civilizations, and the two civilizations are still hostile.

Is this possible?

Therefore, Zhang Heng felt; The two civilizations were originally friendly, but suddenly there was a contradiction.

And this war is also a sudden war.

Even if it is a sudden war, they can only choose an optimal strategy under all kinds of bad strategies.

That's lining up to be shot.

"Are we going to interfere then?"

Hikoko asked again.

She felt that since Zhang Heng had come with a purpose, she must not want them to lose so soon.

At least, after Zhang Heng squeezes out the value, Zhang Heng will ignore them.

"I'll do it myself!"

Suppressing the eager Yan, Zhang Heng left the Heavenly Blade No. 7 directly.

Then, he pulled out another one from the small universe, a slightly smaller version of the Blackwater.

Like this small Blackwater, as early as when he was in the Super God Universe, he had equipped all the subordinate civilizations under his command with the entire army.

All functions are the same as those of the large Blackwater.

After boarding the small Blackwater, Zhang Heng was so blatant that he drove the small Blackwater directly into the center of the two civilizations.

Such an act, of course, will inevitably be attacked indiscriminately by both sides at the same time.

However, just a blow of this magnitude would not be able to break the king eight shells of the small Blackwater.

Although the strong interaction material is only a three-body civilization, this level of civilization is made.

However, without a specific method, the Three-Body Civilization itself cannot directly destroy the defenses of strong interacting materials from the outside.

Moreover, not every civilization of this level has been able to develop similar technology in the same way.

After all, the three-body civilization can be regarded as an excellent kind in the three-body universe.

Although the early strength of the Trisolarans can only bully and bully the earth, they cannot deny their potential and creativity.

In the extreme environment of the Three-Body Galaxy, after the destruction and restart of civilization one after another, the potential and creativity of the Trisolarans have already been stimulated to the extreme.

Strictly speaking, neither Zhizi nor Water Drop should have been made by a civilization of the level of the Trisolaran people.

However, these two things were really made out by them!

Therefore, compared with other civilizations of the same level living in a comfortable environment, the Trisolarans are undoubtedly leading in cutting-edge technology.

Take the two civilizations that are fighting in front of them, they can be regarded as barely at the level of the Trisolarans, and the Trisolars can also be regarded as trisolars.

However, no matter whether the two civilizations in front of them or the triangle, they can't get Zhizi and water droplets.

This is where the Trisolarans are ahead of, and stronger than, other civilizations of the same level.

It's like Zhang Heng's spaceship that is now only built with strong interaction materials, but the two civilizations in front of him can't break through the defense at all.

After the small Blackwater broke into the area of war between the two civilizations, they immediately discovered the existence of the small Blackwater.

However, before they could react, Zhang Heng began to sue the wicked first.

"What civilization are you, and why are you attacking my ship for no reason?"

"None of you will want to leave without an explanation......"

Such information, Zhang Heng directly used the official dialect of the universe to send the past to the two civilizations.

That's right, he's just going to turn reactive into proactive.

If he wants to get the information he wants from the two civilizations, he has to use strong means.

However, isn't it very bullying to find fault for no reason?

If the other party attacks him first, it will be different.

As he said, no one will want to leave without giving an explanation.
