Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

"An emergency meeting? And they're calling in the military and top national leaders?" Su Li asked excitedly, her voice brimming with barely suppressed curiosity. "Lin Tian, ​​did you find something good again at the relay station?"

"Um."

"What good stuff is it? Give us a hint!"

"You'll find out when the meeting starts."

"Tch, always keeping us in suspense," Su Li muttered, but didn't press further.

She knew Lin Tian's temper.

This person doesn't talk much, but once he says he's going to have a meeting, it must be something really important.

Lu Xuejian's voice followed: "I'll contact the military immediately. Who should we notify?"

"I will personally contact Elder Chen. You will be responsible for coordinating with the Ninth Army Corps' command system at the military headquarters. Additionally, Professor Chen Wang will help coordinate with the national leadership."

"Okay." Lu Xuejian's answer was crisp and decisive.

Fang Yan, Li Changying, and Zhao Zheng also confirmed the order in the channel one after another.

Everyone realized one thing: what Lin Tian obtained from the relay station this time was definitely not simple.

The fact that someone who usually wouldn't even bother to look at military commendations would take the initiative to convene a meeting of the entire Black Hole Legion, along with high-ranking military and national officials, speaks volumes about its importance.

……

Two hours later.

Xinghua University, Black Hole Research Institute, highest-level conference room.

This meeting room was renovated a month ago.

The original theoretical discussion room was completely emptied and replaced with a military-grade encrypted communication system and holographic projection equipment.

Eight huge light screens are embedded in the wall, each of which can display the battlefield situation in different star sectors in real time.

More than thirty people were sitting on both sides of the long table.

The entire Black Hole Legion has arrived.

Opposite the Black Hole Legion were representatives sent by the military and high-ranking national officials.

Many people from the military and high-ranking national officials also attended.

From the State Council to the Ministry of Science and Technology, no one was spared.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was not relaxed.

Lin Tian didn't rush to speak. He stood at the head of the long table, where a set of encrypted data was displayed on the holographic projection screen in front of him.

He compiled this data on his way here. Although it is only the tip of the iceberg of the information he obtained, it is enough to illustrate the point.

"Gentlemen."

"I discovered a gravitational wave relay station of the Ayers race in the core area of ​​a strategic resource point on the border between the Seventh Star Sector and the Sakura Kingdom."

"I obtained two key technologies from the relay station's database."

He raised his hand and brought up the first set of data on the holographic screen.

It was an extremely complex structural diagram.

"The first item is the technical blueprints for the gravity array."

As soon as he finished speaking, a suppressed commotion broke out in the conference room.

Professor Zhou Haiming was also present today. He was sitting next to Chen Wang, and when he heard the words "gravitational array," he jumped up from his chair.

"A gravity array?!"

"Yes." Lin Tian nodded. "The gravitational network technology built by the Ayers hundreds of millions of years ago includes communication protocols, energy distribution algorithms, gravitational wave modulation schemes, and complete engineering drawings."

"If we can master this technology, the Great Xia Kingdom can begin to try to build its own gravity array."

Zhou Haiming's lips trembled several times, but he couldn't utter a word.

He had studied the Ayers for most of his life, but his understanding of them was still purely theoretical.

And now, a technology for practical application has appeared before him.

This shock is akin to a physicist suddenly seeing a Trisolaran water droplet.

Although the people at the military headquarters weren't as excited as Zhou Haiming, they all wore solemn expressions.

They certainly knew what a gravity array meant.

"The second item."

Lin Tian didn't give everyone much time to process it, and immediately turned the holographic screen to the next page.

That was a completely new structural diagram.

At its core is a spherical, curved space layer that looks like a crumpled, transparent bubble.

But every inch of the bubble's curved surface is marked with extremely precise gravitational wave parameters.

"Gravity Shield"

"Using highly compressed gravitational waves, we can construct a space curvature layer around a star."

"Any attack that approaches a celestial body will be deflected by the curvature of spacetime as it passes through this curved layer, and will glide past the edge of the celestial body."

"It doesn't neutralize the attack; it changes the direction of the attack."

He paused for a moment at this point.

"Simply put, as long as you are equipped with a gravity shield, the enemy's red giant thermal radiation, neutron star gravitational field suppression, and quark star matter impact will all be ineffective."

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze for a moment.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the constantly rotating spherical structure on the holographic screen.

Deputy Chief of the General Staff Zhou Zhenguo spoke first: "Professor Lin, what is the upper limit of this gravity shield's defense? What scale of attack can it withstand?"

"Theoretically, there's no upper limit," Lin Tian answered decisively, "because the gravity shield doesn't use energy to counteract energy, but rather uses space itself to deflect attacks."

"As long as the space curvature layer itself is not breached, any form of attack will be deflected."

Zhou Zhenguo remained silent for a few seconds.

He was a veteran of half his life, and he understood the role of these strategic equipment better than anyone else.

"What about the cost? How many Star Coins does it take to equip a Gravity Shield?"

"Not too many are needed." Lin Tian raised his hand and brought up another set of data on the holographic screen. "According to the data left by the Ayers, the equipment cost of the gravity shield is even lower than that of an ordinary observation pod."

"Because it does not rely on expensive and rare materials, but rather uses the phase coupling of gravitational waves themselves to maintain the stability of the space curvature layer."

"The equipment requirements are extremely low, but—"

His gaze swept over everyone present.

"For observers who follow the gravitational route, the equipment process will be simpler, because the core of a gravity shield lies in the control of the gravitational field."

"Observers who take the giant star route will need to install an additional auxiliary system to compensate for the lack of precision in controlling the gravitational field."

"But the total cost will not exceed the price of a medium-sized observation cabin."

Silence fell over the meeting room once again.

This time, the silence lasted for almost half a minute.

Then, Zhou Zhenguo slowly stood up from his seat.

His gaze was fixed on the spherical structure diagram on the screen, and his lips moved several times before he finally spoke.

"Professor Lin... are you sure this thing can be deployed on a large scale?"

"Sure."

"After being equipped, how much of an advantage will our red giant and blue giant observers have when facing enemy red giant and blue giants?"

"It's not just an advantage," Lin Tian shook his head, "it's a complete crushing defeat!"
