Graviton is still used as a hypothetical particle that transmits gravity at the current stage of earth civilization, but it has been widely used in interstellar civilization. If the universe is regarded as an ocean, then gravitons are the seawater existing in the universe, exerting the same pressure on all directions of the universe, while antigravitons can offset the seawater in a certain direction with the same force. pressure. In one direction without seawater pressure, objects in it can be pushed forward by pressure in the opposite direction.
In the universe, this water pressure is the speed of light. So in fact, the anti-graviton engine is not located behind the starship, but becomes a barrier blocking gravitons in the direction of the starship's forward direction.
Of course, the antigraviton engine alone is not enough to ensure that the starship moves at the speed of light. In regular space, once it reaches the highest speed of light, the mass of the object will tend to be infinite. Although the kinetic energy is provided by the gravitons of the entire universe, But the starship itself cannot withstand such energy, and an energy field is needed to wrap the starship and make it semi-independent of the universe. In addition, at the speed of light, conventional observation methods are ineffective. In order to ensure the safety of navigation, there is also a need for receiving and analyzing terminals for particle information such as neutrinos and tachyons. In addition, there are various corresponding supporting armor technologies. Ecological Rapidity , life support technology and so on.
In short, interstellar travel requires more technology than the imagination of primary civilizations. The fact that the First Civilization can be classified as an interstellar civilization shows that even if it is not fully practical, it has at least fully mastered these technologies. All that's left is to assemble all these technologies onto the starship.
As the most important of all technologies, anti-graviton technology is not only a force that allows starships to fly across the stars, but also a high-quality energy. Even if it cannot be installed on a starship, it itself can achieve some ultimate effects - once released, the gravitons in a certain area will be blocked, and the unbalanced force will squeeze objects within the range at extremely high speeds. out.
The reason why it is not the speed of light is because antigravitons cannot be precisely controlled and cannot perfectly block the power of gravitons. But even if it is only part of it, its speed far exceeds the limit of primary civilization. If it were not for the effect of antigravitons acting on all matter, at such a speed alone, the friction between the object and the air would be enough to turn it into ashes.
It's just that... all the methods and effects used by the first civilization are also calculated by the chess players. They understand the power of antigravitons better than the first civilization itself, and have enough experience in using this power.
If the explosion of antigravitons occurs in a space with a sufficient distance, it is equivalent to a powerful shock wave, and the effect of clearing the designated area is incomparably better. However, in a universe densely populated with gravitons, antigravitons have a limited range of action and dissipate quickly. As long as a sufficient distance is maintained, they will not be affected at all. Moreover, for a starship designed to meet the requirements of light speed flight, the thrust generated by using the anti-graviton engine as a bomb will not have the slightest impact on the starship.
Even on planets with dense matter, because within the range of antigravitons, all objects, regardless of mass or size, acquire the same speed, and all associated forces are blocked by antigravitons, so it can Even if the entire space is pushed out at the same time, even if it reaches a speed of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers per second, objects within the range will not be damaged in any way. The only possible lethality may be to make creatures suddenly jump from the ground. Transferred to the universe and suffocated to death.
But in this space constrained by invisible barriers, the huge thrust of antigravitons is forcibly blocked, and all objects are squeezed against this barrier that cannot be moved synchronously. This is equivalent to the range of antigravitons. The material inside collided with the barrier at high speed. Not to mention the booming beast as a biological body, even the starship would definitely not be able to withstand it.
It is as if the chess players hidden in the depths knew that the First Civilization had such a weapon that was extremely dangerous to living organisms, so they used this space to carry out balanced restrictions, so that the anti-graviton generating device could be killed by force instead of being killed together. extraordinary means.
But the First Civilization was forced to use this method because of the inevitable need for chess players to pair their pieces. The only way to control it is to use the starship's physical engine to counteract the thrust of the antigravitons. But they have room for a pair, and so does the other party.
Antigravitons are not penetrating, so when they come into contact with the ground without gaps, they explode into the air on the one hand, and flow around like a liquid on the other hand, until they contact the invisible barrier at the end of the ground, and are reflected towards the ground again. in the air.
All objects above the ground were pushed to the barrier in the air with absolute force, but because the starting point of the force was on the ground, the ground below was not affected at all.
The first civilization completely lost its combat effectiveness, but it was not completely destroyed. All the Boommons from the ground to the sky were wiped out, but there were still new Boommons emerging from the ground. This is what happens when a player pairs their pieces.
For the chess players on Akiyu's side, this move was to pay for the First Civilization chess piece in exchange for destroying most of the Boommons. For the opponent's chess players, the pair lost a bit this time, but it was still within the tolerable range. After all, apart from harvesting the most troublesome civilization, the plan to attack the underground was not affected in any way.
However, the result of a chess game is not judged by the move that can be seen in front of you...
The ground cleaned by antigravitons is almost absolutely flat, which is different from the relative flatness of sea level on the earth, but flat in a practical sense. As long as your eyesight is good enough, standing at any point in this space, you can see every other position clearly without any obstruction.
After the debris in the sky fell, a booming beast poked its head out from the ground. Before that, it had tried its best to restrain the vibrations of its body and carefully received every sound wave signal that might be transmitted by its kind under the ground. However, except for the collision sound of objects, it could not find any information that it could understand.
After a long time, a strange emotion forced it to dig out of the ground and observe with six pairs of compound eyes that were far less useful than sound waves.
The world in its eyes is like countless broken mirrors. Each mirror has a large number of overlapping scenes. Through these overlapping parts, it can clearly judge the distance of the target. But at this moment, no matter how I turned my head, I couldn't find a target that overlapped in my field of vision.
There is indistinguishable sticky sand on the ground, and there is a broken and weird starry sky in the sky. Other than that, there is nothing else.
It doesn't like this kind of world that is so empty that it makes it dizzy, and there is no sound of the same kind. Although it is dark and unable to fly under the ground, there are countless similar sounds and several things that attract me, so no matter from every aspect, it is much better than this world on the ground. So after taking one last look around, the vibrations in the body began to change from weak to strong. The soft sand slid to both sides tremblingly like loyal subjects crawling in front of the monarch.
At the moment when it was about to completely submerge into the ground, the sonic boom beast was once again driven by strange emotions, and against its own wishes, it once again reached its head towards the ground.
Before the image of the world was reflected in the eyes, a sound that had never been heard before but was extremely familiar penetrated its body, like the echo of a fragile thing being torn apart...

"Master, do we really do nothing?"
Qian Xiao asked the same question for the sixth time. Ever since he met Qiu Yu, Qiu Yu's peace often had only two possibilities, one was that he had already secured the victory, and the other was that he was ready to take risks. With his own wisdom, Qian Xiao would not think that Qiu Yu's silence for more than ten minutes was because of the former.
Since he didn't get any response the first few times, Qian Xiao seemed more like venting his anxiety than seeking answers. So after Qiu Yu answered, he was still pacing back and forth. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized what Qiu Yu had just said.
"Um, were you talking just now?"
"The opponent's chess player has entered the game." Qiu Yu repeated it, then looked at the other allies who had reached the limit of uneasiness, "Get ready to fight."
Taking action at this time is probably part of the chess players' calculations.
Because of the foreshadowing of several games, Earth's civilization already has almost blind obedience to its own words. In this game, I also got a lot of places to show my strength, but based on this alone, it is already the limit for other civilizations to follow the route they have set.
Limited understanding, cultural barriers, and self-pride cannot allow oneself to become the leader of these allies. But neither I nor the chess players on my side regarded this game as a strategic game that only required one brain. This is a chess game, a complex game that takes into account all favorable and unfavorable conditions. Not being able to master all the pieces is a bad situation, but on the other hand, neither is your opponent. This is an equal disadvantage for the chess player, especially for the near-omniscient Destiny Weaver. But for the side that has a chess piece that shares the same mind as the chess player, it has invisibly established a small, but not negligible, advantage.
What's more, Qiu Yu was better than his own chess players expected. Within the limited conditions, he made the opponent's chess players fall into small traps that could eliminate his advantage again and again.
The complex deception and counter-deception are over. The moves that the opponent's players and chess pieces can use can no longer surpass the calculations that Qiu Yu can master. The rest is just a step-by-step check...
