Start a Subspace

The high-dimensional universe is a very dangerous place. According to the tips given by the cosmic string broadcast, the number one risk is the special space structure called "black domain".

They are equivalent to low-light speed traps. Objects entering the "black domain" will be fixed in time and will never be able to come out.

It sounds similar to a black hole.

Since humans have never encountered this thing before, we don’t know what it is yet...

The second is "space-time inflation", that is, a universe is suddenly generated somewhere, generating super energy that creates the world. This super energy will destroy everything around it.

However, the possibility of space-time inflation is very low, and humans have not observed the creation of a new universe so far.

The third is "space-time turbulence", which means that suddenly, the fluidity of space changes.

All spatial structures will undergo changes to a certain extent.

According to experts' speculation, "space-time turbulence" may be caused by the inflation of the universe.

A new universe may be born in the high-dimensional universe at any time. Even the explosion of the universe in an extremely distant place will bring liquidity, thus leading to "turbulence of space and time."

Of course, there is the fourth danger, which is the biggest risk - silicon-based life!

According to the detection of advanced civilizations, the number of silicon-based universes is far greater than that of carbon-based universes!

This is again very scary.

In addition, even if you meet a carbon-based "fellow fellow", it may not be a real good thing.

Whether these civilizations have good intentions or malicious intentions cannot be predicted, and we can only leave it to fate. In a world where resources are scarce, if the power gap is too large, it may not be a good thing.

However, humans still have to go back!

Because the high-dimensional universe has resources and can also make jumps.

The human spacecraft's speed of 500 kilometers per second is pitifully slow on the scale of the three-dimensional universe. It can only jump to a more distant and safer area through high-dimensional jumps!

Therefore, after meeting and demonstrating again and again, mankind is ready to return to the high-dimensional universe.

…

"The first work report of the Daxia Kingdom's government in the sixth year stated that in order to solve the problem of lack of resources, the exploration of the high-dimensional universe will soon be restarted."

"We are about to embark on a new phase of our journey..."

For ordinary people in subspace, no matter where the mothership flies, it will not have a big impact on the Kunlun Mountain.

But many people still expressed their nervousness online.

The last interstellar war did bring great benefits. People are slowly getting used to the addition of realistic robots, and they are also slowly adapting to the new era of intelligent survival.

But... isn't it too fast? Even if it takes another ten years to develop, there will be no problem.

Later, the government directly announced the latest astronomical report.

Hundreds of experts signed their names at the end of the report. They believed that this area of ​​space would collapse within three months, which calmed the public discussion.

Since the space is about to collapse, we have no choice but to leave.

…

In this way, the Dongpang Panshi slowly unfolded its curvature bubble and was about to head to the high-dimensional space.

Before the captain gave the order to set off, people looked at the starry sky affectionately...

Especially the direction of cosmic strings.

Human beings are leaving their hometown again...

Maybe the universe is more moral than we thought? Or maybe it's darker than we thought.

Zhang Ran looked at the busy people. All the workers who repaired the spacecraft were back. The large and small battle gaps of the Oriental Rock have also been repaired as before, and most of them are filled with titanium alloy materials. After being filled with a large amount of metal, this mothership is full of high-tech feeling, unlike before, it is not like a pure stone.

"Your Highness, the work on Jelly is almost done."

"It seems to have some ideas about cosmic strings, and is willing to stay and help us obtain some information." Sakurai said softly next to him.

Since Zero fell asleep, Jelly has been raised by her.

Jelly usually doesn't eat. That is to say, after eating a large wave of nano clusters in order to save Zero last time, he seemed to have enlightened himself and became a little smarter.

It began to eat high-dimensional silicon crystals again, even though the amount it ate was not too much, it still ate.

One day later, Jelly suddenly became interested in the cosmic strings not far away...

This magical life has indeed brought great surprises to human scientists.

So after discussion, the experts quickly came to a conclusion: the small universe in the jelly body should be transformed from cosmic strings.

In other words, it has the tendency to swallow cosmic strings and is a special "microcosmic symbiotic life form".

It may evolve this time!

Of course, it is not swallowed with the body. No matter how strong the jelly's body is, it is only biological material. It cannot move the huge weight of the cosmic string at all.

Instead, it uses the small universe in its body to devour cosmic strings. The process is worth studying.

"But... what if it is lost?" Sakurai said, getting a little worried, "It has no way to break the cosmic string. We can only wait for it to break naturally. It will definitely be dangerous by then. .”

Zhang Ran started to play with the somewhat swollen "jelly" little comrade, patting it like a basketball. He really liked the soft and gentle feel of latex.

"It's nothing. Since it agreed on its own, you should be sure of it. We will wait for it in the high-dimensional universe and won't leave too far. It can sense us. We also gave it a small universe so that it can survive. Just believe it."

Jelly was eager to try, bouncing crazily, and even jumped on Zhang Ran's head, showing that he could complete the task.

As its IQ improved slightly, it slowly realized that Zhang Ran was the talker here.

Finally, it flew and bounced on Lin Qiuyue's head.

"It makes no sense for you to please me... unless you come back and sleep with me at night." Lin Qiuyue slowly stuffed some scientific instruments into Jelly's body.

Seemingly knowing that this "third mother" with complex personality was the real strong one to save "big mother", Jelly did not resist.

After these instruments were stuffed into its body, its transparent and flexible body expanded a lot, but it was not too big. Some miniature cameras and some special reconnaissance instruments could better observe the three-dimensional space. How did the cosmic string collapse and how did the jelly swallow it?

This data is very important to humans.

"Little Universe No. 7 is yours... Come on, Jelly, remember to go home!"

Jelly hid in the small universe No. 7 and stayed here alone.

…

Just like that, all preparations were in place, and the Oriental Rock returned to the high-dimensional universe.

It's dark here, and it's so complicated that humans don't even know how many dimensions there are.

Only gravitational wave telescopes can barely peek into the outside world...

a month...

Two months...

Three months...

According to the observation results of the gravitational wave telescope, the original space channel collapsed and disappeared in the next second!

That is, as expected, the cosmic string could not support it, causing vacuum decay in the surrounding space, and the surrounding areas of several light years collapsed.

"I don't know what happened to the jelly. It has the protection of a small universe, so it should be able to survive..."

Zhang Ran occasionally thought of Comrade Jelly when he went on an adventure and missed the softness of his body.

Without this comfortable pillow, I couldn't sleep well for many days.

"And the collapsed cosmic string... it should have been swallowed by it, right?"

…

In the past three months, humans have not been completely idle. Once again, they searched for 6 three-dimensional fragments in the surrounding area, but no good results were found.

These three-dimensional fragments are almost entirely inaccessible universes.

As soon as we entered, the detector exploded and decomposed from the atomic level.

People are becoming more and more experienced in searching in this area, and relevant scientists have proposed a complete set of theoretical systems based on the results of many explorations.

The approximate value of the fine structure constant is 137.03599976, and the deviation is within one part per billion, which is called the first type of universe.

That is to say, the universe in which human beings live.

Carbon-based life can survive and reproduce normally in this type of universe.

Subspace, small universes No. 1, 2, and 3 are all Type 1 universes.

Those with deviations within one ten millionth of a million are called Type II universes.

Carbon-based life forms in the second type of universe are prone to illness, premature aging, dementia, and the inability to reproduce. Human beings can barely survive for a period of time after entering, but they are not suitable for long-term living.

The three-dimensional fragment where the West Badi Civilization is located has evolved from the first type of universe to the second type of universe due to the Lanization phenomenon.

Small universes No. 4 to 16 are all type II universes.

Those with deviations within one millionth are called Type III universes, and humans cannot survive in them. Only the detector can enter and explore, and even the detector is easily damaged by physical degeneration.

But it is possible to find the desired matter in a third type of universe.

For example, the silicon-based small universe is the third type of universe.

The curvature generators on the void amoeba are basically the third type of small universe.

As for the fourth type of universe with a larger deviation in the fine structure constant, it is likely that only hydrogen atoms are allowed to exist, or even hydrogen atoms do not exist. Many three-dimensional fragments are empty and have nothing in them.

Experts speculate that it may be that the rules of the universe do not allow the generation of complex atomic nuclei; it may also be that at the moment of the big bang, the same matter and antimatter were produced, causing all of them to be annihilated.

I have to admit that there are too many parallel worlds. The carbon universe where humans live is a relatively rare type of universe with exquisite anomalies.

…

Western Digital Laboratory is also a laboratory that has become famous in the past two years. The number of researchers is about 130. They are more skilled than too many. They focus on research on electromagnetics, lasers, and robotic applications.

Two engineers, Lu Qiming and Lin Lei, are experiencing a virtual world experience device. This device is about the size of a car. After wearing a virtual helmet, it will bring people an immersive virtual experience.

The seat under your butt can also rotate with the gaming experience.

Naturally, they were not playing a game, but a certain course in the university - cosmic astronomy.

College students in this era, more or less, regardless of major, must understand some astronomical knowledge.

As if presented in the form of a virtual course, the course will naturally be much richer and more interesting.

A model of the stars and the sea appeared in front of Lu Qiming, from the solar system, to the Milky Way, to the galaxy cluster. It was presented in the form of a movie. He couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow", "It's so cool. This technology actually uses Come and study...Why didn’t I catch up with this good time?”

A narration with a magnetic voice came from the starry sky: "How delicate our world is... Even the expansion of the universe is exquisite, and it seems to be expanding at a 'just right' speed."

The picture keeps evolving.

"As long as it expands a little faster, the matter from the Big Bang will fly away and be unable to condense into galaxies and planets."

"Conversely, if you go a little slower, gravity will pull all the matter together and turn it into a hodgepodge of incredible density and temperature. That's a black hole."

"Due to the accuracy of the expansion speed, it makes possible the birth of various complex structures and life in the universe. How accurate does this speed need to be? It is about one in 10^55. What is this concept? From the perspective of the universe Aiming at one end and hitting a fly at the other end (30 billion light-years away) requires an accuracy of only 1/10^30th."

The picture evolves again.

A mosquito appears on the other side of the universe.

The male narrator continues: "If you slow down the speed of light, just a little bit, there will be no carbon in the universe."

"If you speed up light, just a little bit, the universe will have no oxygen."

"Even if the strong interaction force is 1% smaller than the current value, elements above iron atoms will not be able to form, carbon elements will also become unstable, and the basis for human creation will no longer exist!"

"In the three-dimensional fragments of parallel worlds we encountered in the high-dimensional universe, we discovered a universe with a different speed of light than ours."

"..."

The first course ends here.

Several people were still unfinished, staring blankly at the starry sky.

This experience is truly unforgettable.

It's just like playing a game, fun and lively.

Lu Qiming said: "So the speed of light in the silicon-based universe is slightly slower than here?"

Dr. Aydin smiled and nodded: "Yes, in the silicon-based universe, most of the parameters are almost the same as ours, except that the speed of light is slightly slower, causing the carbon element in their side to be unusually scarce. Of course, their side Stars may also be different from ours.

"Their universe is very weird. I really want to see it."

"The magical high-dimensional universe has endless possibilities, just like building blocks. The underlying mechanism is slightly different, and the resulting building blocks are also completely different!"

As Aydin spoke, he seemed to think of something, "Oh, by the way, there is also a new course to learn to fly a spaceship through the virtual world. Do you want to experience it?"

"Of course! Let me experience it!"

"There are enemies this time."

The parameters and performance of the spacecraft are at the "Petrel" level, and it is the smallest single-person shuttle. It is naturally not too difficult for a few engineers. After all, they have built it themselves.

Then densely packed enemies appeared in the surrounding area, including those in the shape of bugs, gods, void amoebas, etc.

After a while, the spacecraft's sensor sounded an alarm, and the spacecraft was unable to avoid it and was directly destroyed.

"Fuck! I'm a bit dizzy from 3D dizziness..." Lu Qiming took off his virtual helmet, his face was pale, and he was about to vomit under the violent rotation of the screen.

I grabbed a bottle of mineral water and poured it into my mouth.

There are actually quite a few similar virtual games in the Xibadi civilization, and they can be used by humans if they are improved.

In any case, it is impossible for the Sibadi people to come and ask for copyright fees.

However, it is a bit troublesome to produce these devices now. Without the help of creation ability, only two thousand units can be produced in a month.

Even the military only has a share of 50,000 units, which is obviously not enough, let alone the private sector.

Ai Ding and Lin Lei were actually having fun flying the spaceship.

Ai Ding shook his head and said: "War in the universe should be like this. Death only happens in an instant, so don't take it lightly."

"I was reminded of a Star Wars game I played before. After saving up money for half a year, I bought a Titan spaceship. However, it was blown up the next day after I drove it out. I was so angry that I AFKed it that day. .”

"Oh, by the way, these virtual devices should be sent to schools. After the devices are debugged, these games must be deleted. The students in the province are addicted to virtual games."

Lu Qiming said carelessly: "Hey, it's actually nothing. When I was in school, there were computers in the classroom, and people often wanted to secretly play games after class. There are many things, and it is difficult to prevent them."

"Some parents, in particular, blame their children's poor academic performance on games. It is obviously the parents' poor teaching."

Lin Lei thought of his daughter Lin Wenwen: "Ha, that's true...my daughter doesn't seem to be interested in video games. People's interests and hobbies are very different."

"But how's your romance going? Are you on base?"

Lu Qiming hesitated and was speechless: "Every day... call."
