Chapter 373: Scary! (1)

    Following Yao Yuan’s order, the energy virtual device in front of the Hope glowed immensely like a newborn star. Other than the key location and life support system, all of the remaining energy on the Hope hadpletely disappeared and had almost all pooled at this one small spot, and then...


    In front of the Hope, a curious wave fluctuation that could be observed by the naked eye was expanding. It ignored the sma shield that covered the Hope and expanded into the space of the Shelter. Furthermore, this wave fluctuation was expanding at an incredible speed. In just the blink of an eye, it had expanded to more than several thousand kilometers. None of the metals, non-metals, materials, or even shields could stop the expansion. The aliens and siege engines caught in the fluctuations outside of the Hope started floating in mid-air like they had entered the cosmos. As the gravitational force increased, they were even pulled towards the sma shield.


    A sma shield was not an electromaic shield. Even though it was called a shield, it was ultimately ayer of pure energy. Any material touching it would be vaporized. Unless thisyer had exhausted its energy or the size had surpassed theyer’s capacity, theyer would not be destroyed.


    When the lifeforms and objects that were not glued to the floor flew towards the Hope, they were either burnt to toast or directly vaporized. After all, this was a sma shield protecting the whole Shelter; even if a mothership that was several ten kilometers wide running into it, it would probably be the mothership that got destroyed, much less these little insignificant things.


    Following the destruction and deaths of the aliens and objects around the Hope, the harbor that sheltered the Hope started to copse as well. The metallic floor and ceiling started to tear and crumble and the pieces were pulled into thin air. Cracks started to form at the harbor that held the Hope, and they continued to spread throughout the entire Shelter.


    The level 3 space civilization that was guarding the Shelter almost peed themselves from fear... Just what monstrosity was this? If the AI and their knowledge weren’t tricking them, this was obviously manmade gravity!


    Gravity might exist everywhere, but creating it was a great task for science because it involved both issues of space and time.


    Yes, gravity might seem to be a simple energy. In fact, it was the basis that formed the human understanding of early physics. However, with the advancement in science, more and more space civilizations had a clearer understanding of gravity. Even though gravity was caused by mass, it also had to do with the twisting of space and time. In other words, it was high mass that caused the space and time around it to twist, thus causing the creation of gravity.


    Therefore, gravity that might seem ubiquitous required the understanding and application of both space and time if one was to create it through science. To put it simply... for early tier space civilizations, level 1 to level 3 space civilizations, the basis of their scientific progress was energy. In the case of mid-tier space civilizations and humanity, they realized that the scientific progress would be rted to space, while for high tier space civilization, they predicted it would have to be time...


    In other words, gravity was the scientific category for high tier space civilizations, it was a technology unique to high tier space civilizations!


    For the people inside the Shelter, they could clearly see that there was a source of gravity right in front of the human spaceship. It’s gravitational force, ording to calctions, was one-third the Shelter’s mass... However, the Shelter’s insides were hollow, unlike a, which was filled with rocksyers. The real density strength came from its walls and metallic construction. Therefore, to maintain a bnce gravity within the Shelter, they had to rely on centrifugal force.


    The gravity source outside of the Hope had such powerful force but very small size. This created a problem... Just as how it was discussed during the design of the cannon, this was what humans were hoping for, the creation of tidal force!


    This was happening inside the Shelter!


    Just as the members were checking the calctions done by the AI, in less than 3 seconds, the ground they were standing on started to shake violently. This ce was the center of the Shelter that was very far away from the Hope. It was affected even from such a distance?


    With the Hope as the center, the entire Shelter was being twisted and torn apart. Especially the joints of the Shelter’s metallic structure, they snapped into two simply because they could not withstand the overbearing tidal force... After that were the metallicyers, and even therge motherships...


    As long as its size had reached a certain level, it would be influenced by the tidal force. Its internal structure would start to break down and copse. If one looked from outside the Shelter, one would see clearly that a part of its outer shell had copsed. Innumerable parts and debris floated from that opening into the cosmos before being pulled back in by the Shelter’s gravity. At the same time, the surface of the Shelter had started to burst with explosions and sparks like it was being showered by bullets.


    Under the influence of this super powerful tidal force, any shields were like paper; they werepletely useless. After all, gravity was not metal and tidal force was not energy. This was andslide victory due to the difference in technology. It was simr to humans using te weapons to ughter humans who fight with animal ws. The power the Gravity Cannon had over level 2 and 3 space civilizations was that scary...


    Not only were the people inside the Shelter shocked, even the people inside the Hope were shocked. Even though everyone knew Yao Yuan had formed two secret ultimate weapon task forces, they still had a hard time believing it when one of the ultimate weapons was used...


    Is this real?


    Is this really something that can be created using humanity’s current scientific level?


    Such a scary Gravity Cannon!
