594: Chapter 594 Space Lens

The Maya High Priest was greatly reassured after seeing Oriental Chen's thorough understanding of Mordo's troop deployment.

The biggest difficulty in attacking Mordo was not their advanced technology, but the unknown.

Now that they had lost this advantage, failure was only a matter of time.

The combined fleet of Egula and Maya had a total of 50 warships, with 30 from Maya and 20 from Egula.

This size could easily pin down Mordo's western fleet.

Okshung's Southern Route Fleet.

"General Isidro, enemy warships have appeared behind us; our retreat has been cut off!" a subordinate reported.

"Don't worry, there are only 5 of them. We can handle them easily," Isidro said, not taking them seriously.

"General Isidro, enemy warships have also appeared in front of us, also 5 in number," another subordinate reported.

"Open fire immediately and destroy them!" Isidro ordered.

"Yes!"

Okshung's Southern Route Fleet still had 17 warships, each equipped with a high-power electromagnetic cannon. When these 17 cannons fired simultaneously, their offensive power was formidable.

However, after the shells were fired, they did not achieve the expected effect.

Because all the shells missed their targets.

"What's going on?" Isidro was very surprised.

"General, they can alter the trajectory of the shells; we can't hit them," a subordinate reported.

"Impossible! The shells are so fast, and at such close range, how can they change trajectory?" Isidro simply didn't believe it.

In reality, the trajectory of the shells did not change; rather, space itself was distorted.

Mordo's warships could cause slight deformation of the surrounding space. The shells appeared to be moving in a straight line, but like passing through a lens, their trajectory was deformed.

"Space lens?" Oriental Chen One had been observing the battle, and seeing the situation before him, he couldn't help but be astonished.

His neural implant's knowledge base gave him a general understanding of humanity's past technological level.

The strange properties displayed by Mordo's warships were very similar to the principle of a space lens. According to Oriental Chen, this technology was developed by the former Sa America.

The so-called space lens technology refers to the creation of a distorted space through technical means. Generally, this distorted space forms a standard spherical shape.

In full power mode, the distorted space formed by a space lens is completely invisible. This is because light rays are also distorted when passing through the lens, and the human brain cannot distinguish this distortion.

This is somewhat similar to the effect of a gravitational field causing space distortion. You can see the sun before it rises above the horizon because light rays are slightly bent when entering Earth's gravitational field.

However, it is important to note here that the space lens is not achieved by a gravitational field, but is more like a space bubble.

Of course, for objects within the lens to be completely invisible, it can only be achieved in full power mode. If the power is insufficient, light will not be completely distorted, so objects within the lens can still be seen.

However, in this state, some low-mass, low-speed objects will still be distorted when passing through the lens.

Assuming you stand in front of a non-full-power lens, you can indeed see its existence, but you cannot touch it. The result you see is that your hand undergoes a slight deformation as it approaches the space lens, as if being squeezed outwards. But this is only the visual perception of being squeezed; in reality, your hand feels nothing and touches nothing.

"That's right, it's a space lens, but it's not operating at full power," Monga confirmed.

For a space lens to operate at full power, it requires very high instantaneous energy. Moreover, it cannot be accumulated high energy; it must be supported by a high-energy density core.

And Oriental Chen knew that only zhen crystal could achieve this.

Therefore, Mordo's warships not operating their space lenses at full power must be due to the lack of a higher-density energy core.

However, there are still a few questions here:

1. It is unknown whether Mordo has mastered the complete space lens technology.

2. Is it possible that Mordo already knows about the existence of zhen crystal? The initial assessment suggests a high probability.

3. Why does Mordo possess the technology of the former Sa America?

These questions cannot be answered now and can only be set aside for the time being.

No wonder Mordo was so fearless; with space lens technology, traditional shells simply could not hit them. Even if they stood there as a living target, you couldn't hit them.

However, since they couldn't fully activate the space lens, light could pass through. This meant they couldn't defend against laser weapon attacks.

"Mr. Dongfang, what is this space lens you mentioned?" Te Chars asked.

He had also heard the conversation between Oriental Chen and Monga.

"This technology is incredibly powerful. In full power mode, it can completely become invisible from 3D space. Existing detection methods and attack means are all ineffective against it...." Oriental Chen briefly explained the principle of the space lens.
