Chapter 20
The Ultimate Means to Stifle Civilizational Development is to Kill Their Science

The Chizi Sensor Array Control Center.

Through this, Tai Hao gained a detailed understanding of the civilization he jokingly referred to as the Three-Body Civilization.

The Jinwu Star System, the Azure Planet.

The true name used by the Azure Civilization for their star system and planet.

The main star of the Jinwu Star System is an M-type red dwarf with a lower temperature than a yellow dwarf. It's over eight billion years old.

These stars are characterized by their small mass, low luminosity, and low heat output.

Due to the small mass of the main star, the Jinwu Star System only has two planets.

The Azure Planet is a super-Earth, with a mass 1.1 times that of Origin Star. Its gravity is similar to Origin Star.

The Azure Planet has a warm surface with an optimal temperature of 22 degrees Celsius.

The Azure Planet has six continental plates, the rest being covered by oceans.

Each continental plate is home to a super-power, with seven great powers ruling the entire Azure Planet.

The Azure Civilization has three races: yellow, white, and black.

The yellow race occupies three continents, possesses the strongest technological capabilities, and has the longest recorded history, with documented records reaching 15,000 years.

The Azure Civilization's technology has advanced to the information intelligence era, and they have already mastered room-temperature superconductivity materials. Nuclear fusion technology is on the verge of a breakthrough.

Their civilization level is close to reaching a Type I civilization.

“They have already mastered room-temperature superconductivity materials? What a dangerous civilization!”

Mastering nuclear fusion technology means possessing unlimited energy, leading to a leap forward in civilization development.

With nuclear fusion energy, interstellar travel is no longer a dream.

“Although, according to the Super God Universe's civilization settings, a pre-nuclear civilization has a high probability of experiencing nuclear war due to various factors such as culture, resources, faith, and systems, leading to the interruption or even destruction of their civilization's progress.”

However, the Azure Civilization seems to be a lucky one. While they have seven great powers, three of them belong to the same race.

Furthermore, these three great powers share highly similar moral values and historical experiences with the Huaxia Civilization.

“Hmm… Could this Azure Civilization, like the Huaxia Civilization in this universe, have been influenced by the Lieyang Civilization in terms of their historical progress?”

In the Super God Universe, advanced civilizations often interfere with or even assimilate lower civilizations.

This thought made Tai Hao gasp.

The moral values and humanistic development of the Star River Empire are also highly similar to the historical development of Huaxia.

From social systems, moral values, to clothing styles.

“Damn it, could our Star River Empire be a radiated civilization of the Lieyang Civilization?”

A disturbing guess emerged in Tai Hao's mind.

Tai Hao wouldn't want someone from the Lieyang Civilization to jump out one day and declare that the Star River Empire is a subsidiary civilization of the Lieyang Civilization, or even say that they are the ancestors of Di Hong Shi.

“Right, Di Hong Shi! I remember that the Sun Light Emperor Rena's grandfather, the previous Lieyang King, was called Di Hong Kun, wasn't he?”

“Hopefully, it's not that coincidental.”

A series of intricate thoughts made Tai Hao's head spin.

The Lieyang Civilization is one of the top civilizations in the Super God Universe, with the ability to create "gods." How could the civilization's main god have anything to do with him?

The priority now is to restrict the Azure Civilization's development and lock down their fundamental physics technology.

“Chizi Two, interfere with all particle accelerators in the Azure Civilization and disrupt their research on the microcosm.”

Tai Hao sent the order to Chizi Two, 3.7 light-years away, through the Chizi Sensor Array Control Center.

“Chizi Two will act immediately.”

Chizi Two's reply confirmed it was already in action.

The Azure Civilization,

The Middle Kingdom Republic, the High Energy Physics Institute.

A ring-shaped large particle accelerator is conducting a proton collision experiment.

A beam of hydrogen is introduced into a dual plasma channel for ionization. The electrons in the atomic nucleus are stripped, leaving only protons.

Then, the electric field is used to push the proton beam forward in a vacuum pipe, accelerating it to one-third the speed of light.

The proton beam is then sent into a booster made of a vacuum pipe for further acceleration before being injected into the synchrotron.

The protons' energy gradually increases, reaching 500 billion electron volts. Finally, they are injected into the largest circular orbit of the collider.

The circular orbit consists of two vacuum pipes and precision injectors, which guide the high-energy proton beam in opposite directions before they collide at the intersection.

However, during the collision, Chizi Two replaced the target particle and absorbed the impact.

Not only the particle accelerators in the Middle Kingdom Republic, but also those in other countries were not spared from Chizi Two's grasp.

Every particle accelerator received incorrect experimental data due to Chizi Two's interference.

Relying on its self-repairing ability and near-light speed movement, Chizi Two blocked all high-energy particle accelerators in the Azure Civilization, effectively strangling their exploration and research into the deeper layers of matter at its source.

For a short time, the scientists of the Azure Civilization were unaware that their fundamental physics had been locked down by Chizi Two.

It wouldn't be long before they realized that fundamental physics no longer existed.

The ultimate way to kill a civilization's development is to kill their science.

In the future, Chizi Two would select anti-social, anti-human, and anti-civilization extremists within the Azure Civilization.

Tai Hao would cultivate them into loyal dogs, believers, and pioneers of the empire, making them a dagger thrust into the heart of the Azure Civilization.

They would become the Star River Empire's puppet regime, the Azure Civilization's traitors.

However, this is a long-term project that requires a great deal of time and cultivation to blossom into the most beautiful and venomous flower of civilization's demise.

Soon, the scientists of the Azure Civilization discovered errors in their particle accelerator experimental data. Every particle accelerator collision experiment yielded different data.

As information data was collected, a wave of immense panic began to spread.

Many scientists found in despair that their understanding of the universe had collapsed.
