He only hoped that Destiny Ring Star would arrive sooner and bring more warships.
This way, it could put enough pressure on the Silk Civilization.
And that wasn't the only good news.
A few months later, those scholars finally obtained some information.
The Silk Civilization's will was not a special kind of energy.
It was space itself.
Space itself does not possess particle properties, nor does it possess material properties.
Han Mia was surprised to hear this answer.
However, the scholars provided an explanation.
Space is indeed just an abstract concept, but space can carry everything in the world, including time.
Space can also be warped, like gravity.
Space can also be folded, like a wormhole.
Space can even be peeled and overlapped, like a dimension.
The abstractness of space only lies in the inability of lower Civilizations to understand it.
But what if a Civilization fully understood space?
Then space could carry any object.
Han Mia was also confused when he heard this explanation, feeling like it was going in circles.
However, the meaning of the former and the latter was not the same.
The former was literal.
The latter, on the other hand, meant that a Civilization could use space itself to do more abstract things.
Originally, some theoretical concepts were void because they lacked a carrier, or there was nothing that could carry them.
This was like a huge mass of energy that no object could carry.
A Civilization could only make a 10-degree battery, but now you needed a battery to carry 100 degrees of electricity. Wasn't that a joke?
In any Civilization, there would be such things.
They initially existed in theory.
And when the mysteries of space, another application of space, were developed, these theories could be realized.
Because space could carry everything; it was like an infinitely large battery that could be charged with any amount of electricity.
The Silk Civilization, in another way, integrated everything about itself into space.
Generally, all things are merely placed within space, which can be seen as throwing something into water; this thing remains independent of the water.
However, the Silk Civilization's approach was to turn this thing into a substance easily soluble in water; it might still not truly become water, but to some extent, it was already indistinguishable from water.
This conjecture left Han Mia silent.
He didn't want to know these things; what he wanted to know was how to deal with the Silk Civilization.
The scholars gave several answers.
"Precipitation!"
Substances in water, as long as they are not water, will inevitably settle to the bottom of the water over time, thus separating from the water.
"Manifestation!"
If an object in water has a lower density than water, it will inevitably float to the surface.
"Destruction!"
If both the water and the things inside it are destroyed, then naturally there will be no more worries.
The three answers seemed to simplify things, but in reality... they only made the difficulty visible.
Precipitation meant cutting off the Silk Civilization's energy supply.
Energy is conserved; if the Silk Civilization wanted to merge into space, but they themselves were not space, what then?
It was like oil and water not mixing; you could just use a blender and keep stirring to forcefully mix them together.
But when the blender stopped and after a long wait, the oil and water would eventually separate.
"Sounds a bit like manifestation," Han Mia didn't want to understand these complex problems.
Although this explanation was refreshing enough, if he were to think about the actual implementation plan, his brain would explode.
The scholar said, "It's not manifestation; it's just that the example I gave you made you mistakenly believe so."
"Manifestation is something else. You can understand it as using a higher level of control over space to forcibly change the properties of space, making it impossible for the Silk Civilization to merge."
If the water turned into ground, the Silk Civilization wouldn't be able to merge into it anymore.
Could the ground be dug up and buried?
Then let it become steel!
"Can you tell me something simpler?"
Han Mia felt that these scholars were truly whimsical.
The former involved cutting off the Silk Civilization's energy, but they didn't even know where the Silk Civilization was or its current specific state, so how could they cut it off?
The latter was even more outrageous; changing the state of space? If they could do that, Human Civilization would already be Level 3.
The scholars, as expected, gave the final answer.
"Then just destroy it directly."
"Destroy all the space in this Orion Nebula."
"Turn this place into a black hole, or something similar to a black hole."
Han Mia coldly left a message for the scholars: "I'll say it again, this is not just about me; it's about you, and even more so, about the entire Federation and the entire Human Civilization."
"What I want is a feasible method. The Silk Civilization is not that strong; if it were truly powerful, then it wouldn't just be simply affecting us."
