Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

The aircraft floating in the synchronous orbit of this trading planet has a very strange shape.

It is different from the local warships of the Haijin countries that passed by it but knew nothing about it.

It is different from the latter's generally horizontal and vertical shapes with obvious rectangular outlines;

Its shape is more inclined to a curved surface,

It's like standing up a crescent moon and bending two crescent moons backwards.

The protruding hull part in the middle has a complete hemisphere at the front.

The two crescents of the 'curved crescent' are like its wings.

The overall shape looks extremely elegant.

Among the various ships of the Haijin kingdoms that came and went, they stood out from the crowd.

The style of painting is completely different.

The different painting style means that this is probably an alien ship from another civilization or even another star field.

Such outsiders will be heavily monitored when they appear in the core area of ​​any civilization.

But it just stopped on the track so arrogantly,

But the locals were completely unaware of it, and the entire planet's defense system gave no warning.

And all the anti-reconnaissance equipment seemed to have malfunctioned.

Like a deaf and blind man, letting it scan the entire galaxy slowly and unhurriedly,

Planet after planet was detected, and all the data of the entire civilization, including those crucial confidential information and defense plans, were collected and excerpted.

obviously.

The strange, veil-like light energy field on its body must be the key to such an impact.

And this also represents.

This spaceship, or the civilization behind this ship,

Its technological level has far surpassed that of the Haijin countries, reaching a level that they could not even imagine.

So much so that it can roam freely in the heavily guarded core area as if it were in no one's land.

At this moment.

The ship, like a crescent moon, silently turned its direction,

It seems that across the distant cosmic space and the invisible barrier between hyperspace and the material universe,

Peering into the battlefield where a violent torrent of particles had just erupted.

It can be seen when it is turned around.

The bow of this ship does not have any weapons and equipment.

The hemisphere that formed the bow of the ship seemed to be made of some extremely smooth and dense material.

No structure inside it is visible.

Only from the outside can one see the starry sky reflected on the surface of the hemisphere.

Not only is it the most conspicuous star in the local galaxy in the distance of the star port.

Connect with distant stars outside our galaxy, even beyond the Milky Way,

No matter the brightness or size,

Every bit of it is reflected on it, exactly.

——This is a total reflection mirror.

A total reflection mirror composed of extremely dense degenerate matter.

Whether it's light, floating particles, or other cosmic rays.

All are completely isolated by layers of reflective coatings on them.

To the greatest extent possible, protect a set of precision instruments inside.

...There is no doubt that this is obviously a non-military research ship.

The high-power long-range scanner built into the hemisphere on the bow of this strange scientific research ship has firmly captured a 'massive virtual particle reaction' that just occurred in the edge star area of ​​the Haijin star field.

In the cockpit of the scientific research ship, a rather slender humanoid creature was looking thoughtfully at the information reported by the scanner.

This is a member of an intelligent species from an unknown civilization, and its appearance has never been recorded in the empire's database.

It also has limbs, clearly taking on the form of a humanoid species.

But it grows very tall, much taller than ordinary people, reaching two and a half meters.

On the contrary, it is extremely thin.

The tall and thin body looked very slender... like a lanky ghost that was suffering from hunger.

The skin on the limbs exposed outside of clothing is covered with layers of folds, like layers of trousers piled on top of shoes after wearing unfitting baggy clothes - this seems to indicate that it is older than that. Extremely old.

Although this aging individual of an unknown species does not feel lifeless.

But the sluggishness that only occurs in older individuals still makes it feel like it will fall over if the wind blows.

This alien elder was stroking the strange short tentacle-like beard on its chin with his dry and thin fingers.

"Virtual particles...why are they virtual particles?"

It murmured to itself, pouring out doubts to it as if the void would give answers,

“In the entire Perseus spiral arm, there are only a few civilizations that have mastered virtual particles.

Those who have clearly shown this are all Eternal Empire who are extremely knowledgeable in the field of particle physics...

Their power has never touched a remote place like the Haijin Star Region..."

"As for the Federation of Stars..."

The lanky and old alien scholar looked at the scan report with obviously abnormal readings again in confusion.

The four eyes on the upper part of the head were closed at the same time, as if deep in thought.

The Federation of Stars is the most powerful local civilization in the history of the Sea and Gold Star Region.

He is also the most accomplished in the field of science and technology.

They are indeed quite advanced in terms of automation.

Those difficult out-of-control intelligent machines and their creations;

And then there are those megastructures that continue to function despite being completely unmaintained and repeatedly damaged over the years;

Everything is proved,

At least only in the fields of automated construction, automated production, and automated maintenance.

This civilization is qualified to reach the entry level of the Eternal Empire.

But just this achievement in the industrial field still makes them unworthy of their reputation.

Not enough to be among the Eternal Empire.

At the very least, Bachelor Jenkins himself never believed that this was a civilization that was qualified to be called the 'Eternal Empire'.

——Their only achievements are only in the industrial field,

Performance in other areas is very average.

And even this one item cannot be said to be perfect.

...After the Federation of Stars fell apart, the omnic crisis that swept across the entire star field was obviously a very strong evidence.

Yes.

After being sent to the Haijin Star Territory by the organization to collect data.

It itself comes with an outing mentality.

I don’t think there will be any great gains here.

Therefore, I have been walking around, like an observer hidden in the star field, watching the locals' crappy third-rate dramas with boredom.

...until just now.

An extremely obvious fluctuation of virtual particles made Jenkins stunned and confused.

virtual particles...

That requires quite advanced technology in the field of particle physics.

And you have to lay a very solid foundation to come into contact with special substances.

for civilization in general.

It is only possible to induce its production and observe its existence.

All pretty tough.

Not to mention applying it to actual combat.

He didn't think that the Federation of Stars tens of thousands of years ago would have such ability...

...after all.

If only the Federation of Stars back then had the ability to create virtual particle weapons that were sufficient for actual combat.

Nor would the country be nearly wiped out by a hyperspace storm.

..

virtual particles.

literal meaning.

It is a very special kind of 'void particle' that exhibits the characteristic of 'non-existence'.

The reason why it is said to be 'nothing' is because it does not have the various characteristics of common basic particles.

Kind of like exotic matter.

But compared to strange matter, that is, 'strange particles'.

It doesn't even have the same 'energy signature' as the latter.

No matter what means are used to detect them, virtual particles are a strange blank with "quantity" but no "quality".

This blank space is in sharp contrast to the colorful colors of various other elementary particles.

Of course, amidst the riot of color, blankness is also a feature in itself.

This is why it can be produced, observed, and found.

...The reason why production is prioritized.

that's because.

This is not a naturally occurring particle in the material universe.

Whenever it appears, it must be artificially generated.

This is why the captain of the alien scientific research ship felt strange.
