Chapter 421: Use of Data

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When the void bug handed the special data to Li Wenyuan, the Hunter fleet’s attack also arrived.

Their methods of playing with the law had always been successful in the past. Even when facing the Scribe, they were not at a disadvantage in the crossfire. The battle with the Silent had already proved this point.

Even the Matter Separator that could directly decompose all matter into nothingness could be resolved by them in an ingenious way.

Although the Silent could still cause some damage to the Hunter with her excellent understanding of space-time theory, judging from the current battlefield situation, neither civilization could cause fatal damage to the other’s battleships.

The Silent had a deep understanding of escape. Perhaps it was a psychological trauma that allowed them to develop the warp drive to the extreme. This kind of exclusive warp drive could achieve a certain passive effect and leave with the spaceship before the danger arrived.

The pure-energy battleships also further strengthened the protective effect of their battleships. At the very least, cannonball-type weapons that purely relied on mass and kinetic energy to cause damage were unable to have any effect on their battleships.

However, with the Hunter’s deeper understanding of the essence of this void, they could already directly destroy some things at the bottom.

The most common thing they used was to construct a space-time fault. This was one of the results of their research on the void.

Although it was called a space-time fault, it was actually a data vulnerability zone. There was too little data in this area that could be used to form a cosmic nature. Anything that entered this area would be annihilated because there was too little data to support the production of the corresponding effect.

This was a non-physical effect. For this universe where the cornerstone was data, the most important thing was data quantity because everything here was made of data, not particles. Particles were just a manifestation of data.

When an object, phenomenon, or something else made up of a large amount of data enters this data vulnerability zone, the data they carry will first be used to fill in the data here until the data vulnerability zone is filled in to match the normal zone.

The actual manifestation was that after the matter decomposition ball shrank to such a weak area, the phenomenon that formed the matter decomposition ball was reduced to data to repair this area.

This process was irresistible because it originated from the basic structure of the world. Anything that was born in this universe would be spontaneously restored.

With this law killing, even if the Silent spaceship encountered such a space-time fault, it would instantly become a part of the cornerstone of the universe. It would die without being able to send any news.

The same danger seemed to be about to happen to Li Wenyuan. Due to his curiosity about the void bug, the Hunter launched an attack almost without any restrictions.

A large space-time fault was about to appear near Li Wenyuan’s fleet. The Hunter wasn’t worried about accidentally injuring the void bug. With the development of civilization, such precise operations could be easily done.

From an outsider’s point of view, if Li Wenyuan did not warp away, his battleships would be restored to a part of the universe.

However, he did not panic at all. The fleet was also indifferent, still maintaining contact with the void bug.

It wasn’t that he didn’t care. After all, this was his first time participating in a war that manipulated the rules. Regardless of the losses, this experience was quite valuable.

The reason why he did this was because the void bugs told him not to worry about such attacks. He was also prepared to let Li Wenyuan see how to use the data correctly before they left.

[In the era where we were created, all kinds of data were used in real life, and many of them were used as weapons in war.]

[Civilizations that can reach this step more or less understand the essence of this void and can also understand the environment they are in. Every civilization is extremely cautious about the use of this data weaponization.] [However, no civilization has ever used this space-time fault as an attack method. Did you know? In our era, this was used to clean up non-recyclable trash.]

[Data will generally follow the law of conservation, which is that no matter what, the total amount of data in the universe will remain unchanged. It will always change from one kind of data to another. This is the essence of this space-time fault.]

[But we also said just now that the data volume is only generally following the law of conservation. There will also be some unexpected situations that will increase or decrease the data volume of the universe.]

[For example…the current situation.]

Accompanied by the void bug’s communication signal, a portion of the void that formed the essence of its body separated and spread to the west.

These things that were very similar to the Black Hole were basically invisible when they spread, but the space-time fault created by the Hunter was very conspicuous.

This was because when the space-time fault appeared, almost all detection instruments would send out an alarm. The weak data volume meant that the various universe laws there had varying degrees of distortion. It was common for gravitational anomalies and space-time curvature abnormalities.

The space-time fault was detected immediately, but the void spread by the void bug also arrived at the location of the space-time fault.

[Thinking back to the essence of us, isn’t it also a pile of data? And it’s some highly compressed ‘trash data’.]

[The unexpected situation will be like this. Even if the universe itself doesn’t welcome us, it won’t refuse to increase its total data.]

The voids filled up the space-time gap at an unbelievable speed. There was no gap at all. When he looked back at the void bug, there was no change in its size.

[A portion of the data from the Recycling Bin has been returned to the Universe. This means that the universe of the next cycle will be wider and have more things.]

[Of course, this is only hinting that the amount of data in the void is very, very large, much larger than the universe.]

[Now, what we want to tell you is the true usage of attack.]

The communication ended here, and the void bug began to shrink, forming a dense sphere that looked like a Black Hole.

This thing looked very familiar to Li Wenyuan. He thought of the Reality Penetrometer because it was also a pure black dense ball.

Then, the Universe produced a familiar lag. This time, it took much longer than when Li Wenyuan activated the Reality Penetrometer. It lasted for a full second.

After the stasis ended, the crescent-shaped battleships that came to attack disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Around the void sphere formed by the void bug, some data characters were devoured by the void after flashing.

[We deleted the data of those battleships. They are now trash in the Recycling

Bin, and this is the true usage of attack..]
