Chapter 766: Chapter 322: "Little rascal." (Requesting double monthly votes at the beginning of the month)_4

However, advanced resource zones are often already occupied by many civilizations.

The entry of an unknown civilization to share the resources will inevitably lead to a war.

If luck is not on their side,

and the voyage yields nothing, then they will be trapped in the "low-level resource zone" for generations, with no possibility of ascending to a Fourth-level Civilization. After all, not every civilization can smoothly ascend.

Besides—

upon parting,

the hunchbacked elder explained the fighting styles of external civilizations and... once again warned him that the name "Human Civilization" is very dangerous. If "Human Civilization" were to join other high-resource zones in the future, it would inevitably lead to a bloody storm.

By the way...

Upon leaving, the hunchbacked elder gave him some specialties from the "Starfire Civilization," which were said to be delicious. In return, he gave the hunchbacked elder a Level 200 refrigerator.

Not bad.

Especially after he completely explained the capabilities of the Level 200 refrigerator, the elder showed a rare look of amazement. After confirming that it could instantly arrive no matter the distance, even billions of light years away, he saw a flicker of interest in the elder’s eyes.

That flicker of interest was not an intention to attack him.

Instead, it was a...

desire to revert to the Train Civilization!

The "Starfire Civilization" is a truly nomadic culture with no settled territories. Due to past events, they are extremely afraid of settling, or rather, disdain it, choosing instead to drift through the universe for generations.

They have only short-lived interactions with other civilizations.

No hatred, but no friendship either.

After all, friendships require time to maintain, and one-off meetings hardly qualify as friendships. In such a vast universe, the chance of meeting again is almost impossible.

But—

with the refrigerator,

the Starfire Civilization had a friend for the first time, and that was Human Civilization.

The two could communicate in real-time.

He didn’t mind making more friends, especially with a peaceful civilization constantly adrift in the universe.

And through the hunchbacked elder, he learned about some civilizations’ attack methods.

The most classic of which is the Level 5 Civilization’s cross-space-time strike!

In the universe, they’ll find a "Cosmic Void" and settle beside it, so that any civilization threatening their territory can be dealt with by creating a Time Rift, going back millions or even tens of millions of years, and firing an Akanon Light Energy Cannon into the depths of the "Cosmic Void."

Then, after traveling for tens of millions of years with increasing power, the light energy cannon will completely annihilate the enemy!

Of course.

There are many drawbacks to this.

For example, they must find a "Cosmic Void" that has existed long enough; otherwise, even if they travel back tens of millions of years through a Time Rift, they may discover the Cosmic Void has not yet formed, which would be pointless.

If the formation time is too short, it’s meaningless.

There are also many other factors, such as... there must be a certain margin of error, with discrepancies of a few ten years being quite normal, it cannot immediately take effect nor change the course of battle instantly.

Or there are significant demands on positional alignment.

If the enemy is not on the other side of the "Cosmic Void" but attacks head-on, they need to first create a Space-Time Rift going back a million years, then create a wormhole to the other side of the Cosmic Void and fire back at their own base.

This kind of situation consumes a lot of resources.

On the one hand...

after such a shot, their own civilization would inevitably be buried with the enemy.

Therefore, this method of attack is not commonly used; it is a bottom-of-the-box strategic means, primarily for deterrence, seldom used for retaliation or invasion. In theory, it is very useful for invasion, as one shot can erase an opposing civilization.

But in most cases, the purpose of invasion is to plunder resources, population, and technological planets,

and if a single shot means there’s nothing left, then what’s the point of invasion?

Isn’t that utterly foolish?

Or rather—

according to the Starfire Civilization, wars between Level 1 and Level 4 civilizations happen most frequently, and they do not involve such strategic annihilation means.

Hard confrontation is possible.

At higher civilization levels, there is virtually no war, and they focus on two things.

Hide themselves as best as possible.

Prevent higher civilizations from discovering them.

If they fail to hide well, create the strongest deterrence possible.

Inform nearby civilizations that if anyone dares to attack, they can definitely drag them down with them.

Hiding and deterrence are two skills that need a lifetime to learn in the high-level civilizations of the universe.

Especially when the hunchbacked elder mentioned a Cosmic Void with a diameter of about ten trillion light-years, which was the aftermath of a battle between two top civilizations in which both civilizations perished.

The hunchbacked elder specifically told this story.

Simply because...

both of those civilizations were Human Civilizations, neither would yield to the other.

He was also curious at first, wondering if even though both refused to acknowledge the other’s legitimacy, couldn’t they coexist temporarily in a situation of equal strength?

The elder shook his head.

Saying he didn’t know too much detail, just that when naming a civilization, it’s best not to have duplicate names.

...

"A Cosmic Void with a diameter of ten trillion light-years."

Chen Mang sat calmly on the Constant Star Train, looking at the information flashing on the screen. This number was a bit too large, so large that he couldn’t imagine what kind of attack method could create such a vast Cosmic Void.
