Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 647: Space Folds

At this moment on the battlefield, the attack on the Radiance had reached an extremely ferocious level. There was Alien Beast Taihao’s violent ramming, and the two Specter Race entities’ attacks of an unknown principle; although the mechanism of such attacks was not very clear, Xiao Yu knew that the intensity of these attacks absolutely would not be low. There was also the combined space shattering attack launched by his own eighty Planet-Class warships.

This degree of attack might be something the Neutron War Star could withstand and treat with composure, but it was definitely not something the Radiance, which had suffered the attack of the Sphere of Death, could withstand. So the Radiance disappeared once again.

At the instant the Radiance disappeared again, Xiao Yu’s heart turned instantly icy, but then immediately recovered. Because Xiao Yu feared the Radiance would once again employ a four-dimensional jump to come next to the Earth warship and again unleash that combined attack method of Fractured Space and space shattering. If the Radiance used this method of attack again, Xiao Yu would not be able to preserve even his last Sphere of Death.

But immediately after the Radiance vanished again in an instant, Xiao Yu sensed that this disappearance was different from the disappearance of a four-dimensional jump. Xiao Yu knew that this was the Radiance once again using that evasive method whose principle Xiao Yu had not yet understood, rather than performing a four-dimensional jump.

“Fortunately, fortunately, under attacks of such ferocity, the Radiance has temporarily lost the ability to perform a four-dimensional jump. Otherwise, the Radiance would be too heaven-defying, and I would have been in big trouble.” Having perceived this, Xiao Yu gently relaxed his tense heart.

With the Radiance gone, all attacks fell upon empty space. Whether it was the attacks of the two Specter Race entities, or those of his own eighty Planet-class warships, or Alien Beast Taihao’s ramming, they all lost their target.

“This method of evading attacks is simply too advanced; its technological content is almost no less than that of a four-dimensional jump. I just don’t know where the Guardian Civilization obtained such technology. Was it, like four-dimensional jump, obtained from the relics of a Level 7 or even higher civilization, or was it developed by themselves?” At this moment, Xiao Yu’s mind began to work rapidly, thinking of ways to crack this method of evasion. Because it was obvious that if there was no way to crack this method of evasion of the Radiance, then today he would miss this excellent opportunity to destroy the Radiance.

After the Radiance disappeared, Alien Beast Taihao, Specter Taihao, the Specter companion, and Xiao Yu all halted their attacks because they had lost their target. Under such circumstances, whether Xiao Yu or the other beings, they could only wait, wait for the Radiance to appear again before they could continue their assaults. But one problem was obvious, namely that if Xiao Yu could not crack this evasive method of the Radiance, then the Radiance would remain invincible. Because it was obvious that if the Radiance employed this method to hide whenever it encountered danger, Xiao Yu’s side would never have the chance to destroy it.

Xiao Yu thought of a possibility. Xiao Yu had noticed one thing, that when facing the attack of the Sphere of Death, the Radiance had not employed this method to hide, but had relied on its own defensive power to grit its way through the attack of the Sphere of Death.

“Perhaps this method of evasion cannot resist the attack of the Sphere of Death? Then should I use the Sphere of Death again to force it out? But I only have one Sphere of Death left. At present I am completely unable to analyze the technology contained within the Sphere of Death; I can’t even produce an imitation. If I use the Sphere of Death now, I will no longer have this life-saving means.” Xiao Yu thought with some reluctance.

A moment later, Xiao Yu thought of another possibility. Immediately, the large number of advanced instruments mounted on those eighty Planet-Class warships began to operate.

Xiao Yu was measuring certain technical parameters of this region of space at this time. He attempted to analyze these data to figure out the principle of this hiding method of the Radiance. Even if he still could not crack this hiding method, he needed to know how exactly it was hiding.

In that instant, Xiao Yu collected tens of trillions of data points. Within these data were certain parameters of flat space, the parameters from before the Radiance employed this hiding method, and the parameters of space at this moment.

After analyzing this vast amount of data, Xiao Yu’s heart gradually understood.

“I think I roughly know the principle behind this hiding method now. Even if I understand the principle of this hiding, I still cannot replicate this method and make it my own technology. So that’s it, so that’s it!” Xiao Yu murmured. “The Guardian Civilization truly lives up to its name. In space technology, they really are far, far beyond me.”

That’s right, Xiao Yu had now roughly understood the principle of this hiding method. Stripped down, it was actually very simple, nothing more than space folds. The Radiance hid within a certain fold of this space, which is why it vanished from the visible universe, and why it could evade attacks coming from any level. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Let’s use two-dimensional space as an analogy, suppose a towel is a two-dimensional space. First, spread this towel flat, draw two relatively parallel straight lines on the towel with some spacing between them, then suppose an ant is a two-dimensional lifeform, and at this time, place an ant between these two lines between.

Then fold this towel so that the two relatively parallel straight lines touch each other. What situation will arise is very obvious, namely that the towel will produce a fold. Although from the surface it still appears flat, in fact a portion of the towel has left this plane and droops downward. At this moment, in the view of the other ants, the ant that was originally placed between the two straight lines has undoubtedly disappeared. Because at this moment, it has already hidden within the fold of this two-dimensional space and vanished from the visible universe.

The Guardian Civilization used precisely this method to produce such a fold in the space of the three-dimensional main universe, and the Radiance hid within such a fold, vanishing from the visible universe. Perhaps because the three-dimensional main universe is too vast, after the Radiance employed this hiding method, neither Xiao Yu nor Technology Taihao detected any displacement phenomenon of matter around this region of space.

Whether it was Xiao Yu, the two Specter Race entities, or any other beings of the three-dimensional main universe, after the Radiance hid within the fold, they still remained upon this three-dimensional plane, and thus naturally could not find the Radiance nor launch attacks upon it. Just like ants lying upon the towel cannot discover the ant that has entered the towel’s fold. This method is more like a kind of four-dimensional technology, although it is only pseudo-four-dimensional technology.

Perhaps because the Sphere of Death can ignore the space fold produced by such pseudo-four-dimensional technology, when facing the Sphere of Death, the Radiance very straightforwardly did not use this hiding method, but adopted the method of taking the hit head-on to withstand the attack of the Sphere of Death. After all, Xiao Yu did not understand the specific attack method of the Sphere of Death. Possessing some kind of attack method at the spatial level is entirely possible for the Sphere of Death.

This method of hiding oneself may have a simple principle, but implementing it is exceedingly difficult. It involves extraordinarily complex operations upon space, far more difficult than Fractured Space and the like. At least with Xiao Yu’s current level of understanding of space and with his own technical means, he could see no hope at all of implementing such a technology.

After roughly deducing the principle of this evasive method of the Radiance, Xiao Yu began urgently thinking about how to crack this hiding method. The first thing that came to Xiao Yu’s mind was the space reinforcement technology he had once used to restrict the Arboreal Race Alien Beast from performing curvature flight. After all, a folded space is also a curved space. If this region of space were reinforced, then it would naturally flatten such folds, ultimately causing the Radiance to reappear. It would be like replacing the towel with a steel plate; the ant would naturally be unable to produce such folds again.

So Xiao Yu immediately controlled the eighty Planet-Class warships to activate the space reinforcement instruments mounted upon them. Unfortunately, even after Xiao Yu turned the space reinforcement instruments up to maximum power and reinforced this region of space to its most resilient state, the Radiance still did not appear. Xiao Yu did not know the reason. Perhaps the power was still insufficient, or perhaps this method simply could not affect space folds. In any case, this approach had no effect.

Xiao Yu continued his urgent contemplation. In Xiao Yu’s mind, one plan after another, ideas and methods, flowed past, and gradually, a certain term surfaced in Xiao Yu’s mind.

Xiao Yu’s spirit instantly rallied.

“I think I have found a way to crack the technology of hiding oneself within space folds. I believe this method will certainly be useful. Then let’s try it… Guardian Civilization, without the technology of hiding within space folds, I want to see what means you have left to evade our attacks…”
