CHAPTER 559: CHAPTER 558: INFORMATION VORTEX THEORY

"This is definitely a lie!"

"I don’t believe the Wandering Alliance can really find a way to compensate for the loss of Cosmic Material either, because there is simply no way to make up for it. Even we, who first proposed the Cosmic Cycle Theory, couldn’t find a way, so how could they? It must be their trick to shake us and divide our Pure Element Camp!"

"That’s right, we must not be fooled."

"However, on the other hand, since they have resorted to such despicable tactics, it shows that they are indeed desperate. Perhaps their situation is worse than we thought, and this may well be our real chance to launch a full assault!"

"......"

After a discussion, all three civilizations of the Pure Element Camp—the Pure Element Celestial Group, the Antimatter Civilization, and the Black Hole Civilization—unanimously deemed that this must be a conspiracy of the Wandering Alliance!

Absolutely not to be trusted!

Therefore, seizing what they believed to be their final opportunity, the Antimatter Civilization and the Black Hole Civilization compromised with the Pure Element Celestial Group, agreeing to hold accountability after the war and to give the Commander-in-chief one more chance. This would allow the Commander-in-chief to completely eliminate the communist forces in this final opportunity and redeem themselves by correcting past mistakes.

......

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

The Communist camp, consisting of the Wandering Alliance and the Degenerate Civilization, had not received a reply from the Pure Element Camp but instead faced their third extermination offensive. With no other choice, the Wandering Alliance and the Degenerate Civilization had to meet this third extermination offensive with their own invasion and division plan.

Originally, the Wandering Alliance and the Degenerate Civilization intended to persuade the Pure Element Camp to surrender, providing an opportunity for the other party while also buying themselves time to cope with the expanding wave backlash and to ease the crisis. However, they didn’t anticipate the Pure Element Camp’s deep suspicion, which led to a total rejection of the offer.

In fact, the message that the Wandering Alliance had just sent to the Pure Element Camp was not a lie.

They had indeed found a way to compensate for the permanent loss of Cosmic Material through relentless research, offering a possible continuation of the Cosmic Cycle Theory.

Despite the fierce ongoing war mobilizing all available resources to support logistics, some crucial core projects were still operational. Projects such as seeking new opportunities for the universe and facing the crisis of the expanding wave backlash did not stop. Every civilization understood that the essence of war was merely to vie for dominance. Once dominance was achieved, only scientific methods could navigate the Cosmic Crisis. Thus, these civilizations would not foolishly halt research projects related to survival, as they would continue to allocate resources to ensure the ongoing operation of these projects. Among the five Level 5 civilizations present on the scene, the Wandering Alliance, thanks to its all-elite policy, had the most abundant talent reserves. Coupled with some unforeseen discoveries, the Wandering Alliance was the first to find a way to compensate for the permanent loss of Cosmic Material and to establish a complete theoretical doctrine.

The scientists of the Wandering Alliance called it the Information Vortex Theory!

Through their research, the scientists discovered that the law of mass-energy conservation does not only apply within an isolated system. Even when stepping outside the system, as long as there is a connection between the two, they would transition from being two isolated systems to one single system.

To illustrate, if two balloons were originally independent and you perfectly connected their nozzles, even though they might form a figure-eight shape upon connection, wouldn’t these two balloons then become one oddly shaped balloon?

No matter how you squeeze it, isn’t the total internal gas still equal to the sum of the two original balloons?

Based on this discovery, the scientists boldly hypothesized that the Entropy Civilization, by connecting the universe to the Information Sea, made what were originally only informational projection relations into one isolated system. In other words, even though Cosmic Material seemed to have permanently decreased on the surface, it actually flowed into the Information Sea in some other form.

This was something the Entropy Civilization had mentioned before, although it didn’t attract much attention at the time.

This meant that if the energy from the Information Sea could be channeled back into the existing universe, then it would be possible to compensate for the perpetually lost Cosmic Material.

And once the total amount of material was recovered, the Cosmic Cycle might be initiated as well.

Some scientists even believed this could be a self-preservation mechanism inherent to the universe itself. If some mad civilization destroyed the isolation of the universe, then the Information Sea would become the last safeguard for the universe’s reboot.

Of course, while this theory seems plausible, rechanneling the energy from the Information Sea is not an easy task.

This was the main reason the Wandering Alliance sought to convince the Pure Element Camp to surrender, to naturally end the war and gain time to deal with the crisis; and secondly, if the three major civilizations of the Pure Element Camp were truly annihilated, considering the current connection between the universe and the Information Sea, the material mass of these three civilizations would flow into the Information Sea. For the Wandering Alliance, which was already challenged by the backflow, this would invisibly increase the difficulty of overcoming the crisis.

Thus, considering the above two points, the Wandering Alliance and the Degenerate Civilization decided to put aside their animosity and give the Pure Element Camp a chance.

Unfortunately, the Pure Element Camp did not appreciate their offer, prompting the two civilizations of the Communist camp to implement the invasion and division plan, a contingency strategy for after the failure of their persuasion attempt.

The main purpose of this plan was to divide the Pure Element Camp. The Wandering Alliance focused on the Black Hole Civilization because, compared to the Pure Element Celestial Group and the Antimatter Civilization, the Black Hole Civilization, being a collective of Black Holes, was more suitable for strategic division and subversion.

This move by the Wandering Alliance and the Degenerate Civilization was also a reluctant choice.

Although their logistics strength was indeed stronger than that of the Pure Element Camp, it was still quite challenging to truly eliminate the vastly numerous Battle Stars of the Pure Element Camp, not to mention the significant amount of time it would take. If they were to use conventional methods of warfare, the universe might be destroyed before the Pure Element Camp was completely defeated.

Therefore, the Wandering Alliance resorted to a more cunning method of division.

This would weaken the Pure Element Camp’s forces and strengthen their own, thus ending the war more quickly than via conventional methods.

Naturally, the invasion and division plan required certain conditions and a suitable weapon as the entry point; without the right weaponry, talking about division would be mere paper talk, baseless and unrealistic.

And this key weapon was the Information Virus, which the Wandering Alliance had just finished developing!

Since adopting the Neutrino Battle Star manufacturing technology from the Degenerate Civilization, the Wandering Alliance, by analogy, applied the mature miniaturization techniques of the Degenerate Civilization across the entire society. This enabled the research on the Information Virus to progress by leaps and bounds and to be developed in an extremely short time.

It was precisely because of the simultaneous emergence of the Information Vortex Theory and the Information Virus that the Communist camp’s counter-offensive timing was greatly accelerated, which would also become a pivotal turning point in this epic cosmic war.
