Zero Black Hole.
"Contact has been re-established with the front line."
Ella was quite surprised that they had managed to solve the problem themselves.
Although it was only the final cleanup work, considering the nature of the Mirror Civilization, this battle was by no means easy.
From the information sent, it was indeed so.
"Consciousness Regression; the Mirror Civilization also mastered some consciousness-related technology, and actually developed to this point directly."
The ability was roughly similar to what Fulei Rui described, but compared to the description, the reality of what happened was even more profound.
Ella also felt a lingering fear.
If the Mirror Civilization had been given more time to develop, what would have happened in the end was unimaginable.
"After all, it still has the 'bloodline' of a Cosmic Civilization; facing such things, it's best to be extremely cautious."
"However, will the Mirror Civilization be eliminated so easily?"
Ella herself wasn't optimistic about this point.
The Mirror Civilization might still have some other methods that haven't been used yet.
These things might even allow the Mirror Civilization to turn the tide.
Now, they just waited for the subsequent battle results from the front line.
Actually, Ella didn't care so much whether the Mirror Civilization left any loose ends.
Civilization is constantly progressing.
And the progress of Civilization relies on almost infinite resources.
As long as the Mirror Civilization cannot control vast resources and cannot enter a positive cycle of technological development, then the Mirror Civilization will never pose a threat to the Federation or even Human Civilization.
Jiaqi came in from outside, bringing another report.
"Cang Xin Wu Machine God has collapsed."
The Cang Xin Wu Star System was right on the front line.
This Machine God was the Machine God Ella dispatched to the front line to provide immense computing power.
Before, besides the front-line fleet losing contact, the Machine God also couldn't be contacted.
"Are you sure this is related to the Mirror Civilization?"
After all, as soon as that side fell into regression, the Machine God collapsed.
No one could avoid suspecting a connection between the two.
"It seems not."
"The death of the Cang Xin Wu Machine God came from the Silver Heart; it was an accident."
Ella carefully checked what Jiaqi knew and instantly understood.
The Cang Xin Wu Machine God was struck by a stream of light from deep within the Silver Heart, and the terrifying destructive power directly destroyed both the Cang Xin Wu Machine God and the Stellar System it was in.
This was not a direct attack; it was merely a stream of light that had escaped from a war within the Silver Heart, its power still immense after traveling tens of thousands of light-years.
In fact, this has not been uncommon in recent years.
The Federation has discovered such situations in many places in the Milky Way, where some originally normal young Stars that were being observed suddenly exploded.
At first, everyone thought there was a Civilization there.
But the same thing appeared in too many places, which made scholars researching this area suspect that it wasn't due to a Civilization and war there.
The collected photons also confirmed this conjecture.
The photons carried a large number of creation particles.
And the technological level of these creation particles was very high.
The creation particles collected from various places were all roughly the same, only divided into five types, probably coming from five different Civilizations or five different weapons.
This allowed them to deduce that the destruction of the Stellar System came from within the Silver Heart.
However, the Cang Xin Wu Star System was the first time such information was observed within the Federation.
"It's highly likely to intensify even further, and I don't know how we'll endure this unprovoked disaster."
Ella's expression turned gloomy.
If it were just a single Stellar System being destroyed, she wouldn't be so upset.
In fact, according to observations, some areas have experienced destruction beyond the obliterate-level.
An originally prosperous starfield directly became a huge void.
In the Federation's terms, it was hit by a main cannon.
This was a weapon from a top-tier Civilization, utterly unreasonable.
"That's also something unavoidable."
"Boss, the first stage of the submergence experiment has been completed. The graviton Clock Topira has reached the predetermined depth and is functioning normally. The outer casing has minor damage, which is repairable."
Submergence means entering a black hole.
The graviton Clock Topira is a new type of clock, theoretically similar to atomic clocks and other devices, all designed to standardize time.
However, the time measured by the graviton Clock is not conventional time, but rather space-time.
All concepts of time come from the movement of matter.
If matter doesn't move, there is no time, which is absolute zero.
Since the discovery of gravitons around 7000 AD, humanity has known that space also has its own fundamental particles, and interacts with these fundamental particles.
If so, does space have a specific time?
The answer is yes.
That is space-time.
But space-time cannot be measured in stable space-time, because it would inevitably be affected by the graviton Clock itself, as well as the vacuum fluctuations of the quantum vacuum.
Too many additional factors make it impossible for the graviton Clock to work when placed externally.
So, they go "inside," which is underwater, within a black hole.
After entering a black hole, the graviton Clock will be in a state of relative material equilibrium to resist the black hole's gravity itself.
And externally, due to the influence of the black hole, it will infinitely approach a state of no matter.
Only at this point does the measurement become meaningful.
The development of the graviton Clock was not an overnight success, and today, finally seeing results, was something worth celebrating for Ella.
This meant two technological advancements.
One was falling into a black hole, and the other was the determination of the space-time constant.
The former meant it could soon enter the black hole's event horizon, while the latter meant the Silk Civilization would soon become history.
The Civilization characteristic of the Silk Civilization was its reliance on virtual particles attached to space; these virtual particles couldn't even be destroyed, only when they themselves transitioned from virtual to real would they be affected.
So, even though Ella easily dealt with the Silk Civilization and didn't think much of it, the fact that the Silk Civilization itself still existed was enough to show that the Silk Civilization was not simple.
A deeper understanding of the essence of space would help the Federation completely eliminate the Silk Civilization.
