Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 626: Loya Round Cup

This small universe left behind by an unknown Level 6 Civilization did not possess the ability to move on its own without traction from the main universe’s end. In the course of his research, Xiao Yu quickly confirmed this point. At the same time, Xiao Yu also confirmed that this small universe did indeed possess the ability for unilateral control and for a linking channel with the main universe.

“If we judge by the normal technological development speed of a Level 6 Civilization, then this unknown Level 6 Civilization was at least two thousand years ahead of me in technology. However, my technological development speed is not something an ordinary Level 6 Civilization can compare to. If I were to develop at my normal pace, I could probably develop this technology in only two hundred years. Hmm, shaving off two hundred years. This harvest is not small.” Xiao Yu pondered to himself.

Xiao Yu knew that his analogy applied only to ordinary Level 6 Civilizations. The Sweepers, the Guardians, Technology Taihao, and other technology-based civilizations were not included. In fact, according to Xiao Yu’s conjecture, he believed that the technology of these civilizations had very likely already reached a summit. Before breaking through to a Level 7 Civilization, it would be impossible for them to make any great advances. This was a rather absurd conclusion, because if there is an unknown ahead, then one can carry out research and harvest something from it. Under normal circumstances in a civilization’s development, it is unlikely that a situation of technological stagnation would appear. Yet for some unknown reason, this situation had very likely already appeared in these three technology-based civilizations.

As for the specific reason, Xiao Yu still did not know. But Xiao Yu understood that it was precisely because of this reason that something as bizarre as Taihao’s came into being. Moreover, it might not be impossible that this reason had some connection with the Specter Race and the existence of Luck Value.

After Xiao Yu announced that he had already mastered the information on the unilateral control linking channel, he received countless inquiries from scientists. Thus, Xiao Yu once again convened a meeting of scientists. Facing the many scientists present, Xiao Yu explained his views in detail.

“We all know that the zero-dimension is a point. One-dimensional is a line, two-dimensional is a plane, three-dimensional is a body. four-dimensional is a hyperbody. At the same time, we all know that a circle is composed of a one-dimensional line, but it can only exist in a two-dimensional world. The Mobius strip is two-dimensional, but it can only exist in three-dimensional space. The Klein bottle is three-dimensional, but it can only exist within four-dimensional space. In fact, it is precisely by relying on the principle of the Klein bottle that we can connect the main universe and the small universe and establish a channel between the main and small universes. Although such a channel must have the instruments at both ends of the main and small universes operating together to take effect.” 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

“Then, has everyone ever considered this. Formed by four-dimensional space, analogous to the two-dimensional circle, the three-dimensional Mobius strip, the four-dimensional Klein bottle, yet something that can only exist in a five-dimensional world, what would that be?” Xiao Yu posed a question.

This question prompted deep reflection among the scientists present. At the same time, Xiao Yu saw that Xu Junpo, Luka Three, and Number Five, these three most outstanding scientists, all had a change in expression and revealed a faint look of dawning comprehension.

“Although we are all beings of the three-dimensional world, through mathematical methods, we can already infer these things.” Xiao Yu said. “That is right. Within four-dimensional space there also exist things analogous to the Mobius strip and the Klein bottle. They are composed of four-dimensional hyperbodies, but they cannot truly manifest within four-dimensional space. They can only exist within a five-dimensional world.”

As Xiao Yu spoke, he waved his hand and issued a command. Immediately, the three-dimensional holographic projection apparatus cast a swath of light and shadow before him. Within this light and shadow, there appeared a strangely shaped thing, presenting an irregular form. Around this thing there were densely packed data.

“That is correct. This thing is the analogue of a Klein bottle composed of four-dimensional hyperbodies, its projection within our three-dimensional world. I have named it the Loya Round Cup. Of course, in the three-dimensional world we have no way to present its true appearance. Its true appearance requires that all of us rely on physical and mathematical thinking to imagine it in our own minds.”

For a three-dimensional lifeform to imagine the structure of a four-dimensional object is already complicated enough to make many ordinary people rack their brains without understanding, let alone imagining the structure of a five-dimensional object. But the scientists present were truly outstanding figures of a Level 6 Civilization. They still had the ability to do this.

After Xiao Yu spoke the name Loya Round Cup and displayed its structure through mathematical and physical means, many of the scientists present already revealed expressions of sudden realization. Although they still did not quite understand the concrete details, they could already roughly envision the principle.

“That is right. The mystery of the unilateral control device for linking the main and small universes is hidden within the Loya Round Cup. By means of this strange thing, composed of four-dimensional hyperbodies yet able to display its full form only within a five-dimensional world, we will be able, just like relying on the Klein bottle principle, to break through unilaterally the four-dimensional barrier that the half four-dimensional Taihao arranged for us. We will break through the barrier between the small universe and the main universe from one side, and no longer need to rely on the instruments at both ends being activated simultaneously to open the channel.” Xiao Yu spoke these words with a smile.

Heated discussions once again rose within the conference room. Many scientists brought out their personal computing terminals, input long strings of data, and began to calculate some key quantities involving the Loya Round Cup.

“I have already sent the specific construction principles and the derivations of the formulas to everyone’s personal computing terminal. These construction principles have already passed the verification apparatus I set up and have been proven correct and genuinely effective. Of course, if you are interested, you can also first carry out your own calculations, then compare them with my results to test your own ability. Hmm, although we have already mastered this principle, there are still certain difficulties in imitating such an instrument. From this moment on, the Space Academy of Science and the Foundry Academy of Science, as well as the Materials Science Institute and the Institute of Physics, will, under my leadership, launch this rapid research operation. We will strive to truly manufacture such an instrument within twenty years. All right, that will be all. Meeting adjourned.”

Xiao Yu shut down his holographic projection and allocated a portion of computational power to invest in the subsequent research.

From this moment on, this small universe no longer had value for Xiao Yu. Thus, Xiao Yu connected to the communication band of the Pegasus Civilization’s leader and sent the following message. “Our Divine Ark Civilization has now completely finished the technological analysis of this small universe. It is no longer necessary to remain here. Our Divine Ark Civilization will leave here and continue our journey to the Galactic Center. Here we take our leave. Pegasus Civilization, I wish you good fortune.”

Xiao Yu had already withdrawn all his strength, spaceships, equipment, personnel, and so on from this small universe, returned to his own small universe, and completely returned control authority over this small universe to the Pegasus Civilization. Xiao Yu intended to continue his voyage and set out for the Galactic Center. That was his destination. Whether it was the Pegasus Civilization or that preliminary Level 6 Civilization, to Xiao Yu, both were merely interludes on the road ahead and not worth investing too much attention.

“To obtain a ruin of a Level 6 Civilization for nothing, and to escape death once again, for the Pegasus Civilization this should be a great joy. I hope you can keep going forward and let me see the potential of your civilization.”

Silently thinking this, just as he was about to start the fleet and leave this place, Xiao Yu received a reply from the leader of the Pegasus Civilization.

“Although this request is extremely presumptuous, I still put it forward and hope you can satisfy this small wish of mine.” In this message, the leader of the Pegasus Civilization spoke in a rather humble tone.

“Hm. Does the Pegasus Civilization not always believe in a national spirit of independence and self-reliance. Why at this time are you actually lowering yourself to beg me like this. What matter would make the leader of the Pegasus Civilization beg me in this way.” Faced with the request of the leader of the Pegasus Civilization, Xiao Yu’s interest quickly arose in his heart. Thus Xiao Yu replied. “Tell me. If it is within the scope of my ability and I am willing to help you, I do not mind agreeing.”

“May I ask. Has your Divine Ark Civilization already completely defeated the Level 5 Civilization Alliance that was organized by our Pegasus Civilization’s former leader, and absorbed the majority of the population of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance.”

“Yes,” Xiao Yu replied, and at the same time a thought stirred in his heart. “The request he is putting forward, could it be to have me hand Ares back to them to accept their punishment. In warfare and in the overall situation, Ares is an existence even more outstanding than I am. For such a person to be killed by them just like that would be far too much a pity. If that is the request, then I cannot agree.”

“Then. Is our Pegasus Civilization’s former leader still alive. Is he within your civilization.”

“Yes,” Xiao Yu replied. “Ares is indeed within our Divine Ark Civilization. He is still alive, and living quite well.”

“Then.” The current leader of the Pegasus Civilization pondered for a moment, and put forward a request that was completely beyond Xiao Yu’s expectations. “I request that you allow me to enter your civilization and have a face-to-face conversation with Ares, the former leader of our Pegasus Civilization.”

“So that is the request.” Xiao Yu was slightly surprised, but then immediately agreed. “This request is not excessive. I can agree. Of course, whether Ares is willing to see you is not something I can control. Five minutes from now, I will dispatch a spaceship to pick you up.”
