Fabricating The World: Creating A Three-Body Invasion At The Beginning

Chapter 164: The [Lord Of The Rings] Fell From Higher Dimensions

The [Blue Space] and [Gravity] began to exit the four-dimensional fragmented voyage. As the deceleration started, a gravity force appeared on the spacecraft from the stern to the bow.

Guan Yifan and the scientific officers of the two ships seized the last few days to conduct observation and research on the four-dimensional space.

They spend almost all their time in the fourth dimension, partly due to work requirements, and partly because the narrowness and claustrophobia of the third dimension are becoming increasingly unbearable for them.

On the fifth day after the deceleration began, suddenly, everyone in the fourth dimension returned to the third dimension in an instant. None of them came back through the warp point.

From the electromagnetic radiation detection system of the spacecraft, we learned that there is no warp point on the two ships.

[Blue Space] and [Gravity] exited the four-dimensional fragments.

This is somewhat unexpected, because according to calculations, it should take more than twenty hours to exit the four-dimensional fragment.

There may be two reasons for the early exit. One is that the fragments accelerated in the opposite direction to the withdrawal of the two ships, and the other is that the fragments themselves are shrinking.

People all believe it is the latter. In addition to the observation data of "443", they all remember the words of "Lord of the Rings":

[When the sea dries up, the fish will gather in the puddles. The puddles will also dry up, and the fish will disappear. 】

The two-ship formation finally anchored near the junction of four-dimensional and three-dimensional space, which is safe.

The edges of the four-dimensional fragments are invisible, and the space in front of you is empty, as calm as the water in a deep pool.

But people soon observed a strange and spectacular phenomenon: long, bright lines often appeared in the space ahead.

They all appear suddenly, emitting blue light at first, then gradually turning red, and the straight lines begin to bend, break into many small segments, and finally disappear.

Observation found that these long lines appear at the edges of the four-dimensional fragments, as if there is an invisible giant pen constantly marking the boundary between the four-dimensional and the three-dimensional in space.

The unmanned probe flew towards the space area where long lines appeared, and once by chance, he observed the appearance of long lines at a close distance.

At that time, the detector was only more than 100 kilometers away from the long line, so close that the width of the line could be seen with an ordinary focal length.

As soon as the long line appeared, the detector flew towards it at full speed, and when it arrived, the line had just bent and disappeared.

In that area, abundant hydrogen and helium elements were detected, as well as a lot of heavy element dust, mainly iron and silicon.

Through studying the observation data, Guan Yifan and the scientific officers quickly came to the conclusion that these long lines were four-dimensional matter that entered the three-dimensional space!

Due to the shrinkage of the fragments, they entered three-dimensional space and instantly decayed into three-dimensional matter.

These four-dimensional substances that enter the three-dimensional space have a very small volume in the four-dimensional space, but their part in the fourth dimension becomes three-dimensional, the volume suddenly increases, and they expand in a straight line.

According to calculations, a piece of four-dimensional material with a mass of only tens of grams in three-dimensional projection can form a long line of tens of thousands of kilometers after three-dimensional expansion.

Now, the two ships are facing the fact that according to the retreat speed of the edge of the four-dimensional fragments, in about twenty days, the [Lord of the Rings] will enter the three-dimensional space!

The two ships will be waiting to witness this cosmic spectacle, and they have plenty of time now anyway.

Taking the long line drawn in front as a symbol, the two spacecraft cautiously advanced forward, maintaining the same speed as the edge of the retreating debris.

In the next ten days, Guan Yifan was immersed in thinking and calculation, and the scientific officers were also discussing heatedly.

In the end, everyone agreed that according to the existing theoretical physics, it is impossible to conduct too much theoretical analysis on the four-dimensional fragments.

But the theory developed over three centuries can at least make one prediction that is consistent with reality - high dimensions in a macroscopic state will fall to low dimensions, just like a waterfall flowing down!

This is why the four-dimensional fragments continue to shrink: the four-dimensional space will eventually fall to the third dimension!

The lost dimension has not disappeared, it has curled up from the macro to the micro, becoming one of the seven dimensions curled up in the micro.

Now they can see the [Lord of the Rings] again with their naked eyes. This existence that claims to be a cemetery is about to be destroyed in the three-dimensional universe.

At this time, the "Blue Space" and "Gravity" stopped moving forward at the same time and retreated 300,000 kilometers, because when the "Lord of the Rings" enters the three-dimensional space, it will release huge energy during the dimensional fall. This is also The reason for those long lines glowing before.

Twenty-two days later, the boundary of the four-dimensional fragments retreated past the [Lord of the Rings]. The moment it entered the three-dimensional space, the universe seemed to be cut in half, and the long break emitted a dazzling light, like a star being pulled into a line in an instant.

When the light dimmed, a long line across the entire space appeared. Its head and tail could not be seen from the spacecraft. It looked like God drew a line from left to right with a T-square on the drawing board of the universe.

According to measurements, the length of this line that divides the visible universe into two parts is close to one astronomical unit, about 130 million kilometers, which can almost connect the earth and the sun.

Unlike previous long lines, the width of this line can still be seen even from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

The light emitted by the long line changed from blue-white to red, and then gradually dimmed. The line itself also became wider and more curved, turning from a straight long line into a dust belt, with no beginning or end in sight.

The people watching on the two spacecrafts had a strange impression at this time. They felt that the dust belt looked very much like the Milky Way on the background of the universe. What just happened seemed to be a grand photography of the Milky Way. After the flash flashed, the photo taken was in Gradually appearing in space.

Looking at this magnificent scene, Guan Yifan felt a little sad. He thought of the ecological ball he gave to the "Lord of the Rings". It only had that gift for a short time...

At the moment of the three-dimensional expansion, all the four-dimensional structures inside the [Lord of the Rings] were completely destroyed. This was the most complete destruction.

The other dead or alive spaceships in the four-dimensional fragments will eventually be unable to escape this fate. In this vast universe, they can only exist in this small corner of the four-dimensional fragments.

And this is a huge and dark secret that Chu Yan and Guan Yifan were aware of at the same time.

[Blue Space] and [Gravity] sent multiple spaceships to the dust belt. In addition to inspection, they also wanted to see if they could collect some useful resources.

[The Lord of the Rings] becomes three-dimensional and becomes very common elements, mostly hydrogen and helium, from which it is possible to obtain nuclear fusion fuel.

However, both elements in the dust are in gaseous state and diffuse quickly, so not much is collected.

There are also some heavy elements and some useful metals can be collected.

Now, the two spacecraft should consider their future. A temporary committee composed of the "Blue Space" and "Gravity" announced that anyone on the two spacecraft could make a choice.

They are free to choose to continue sailing with the two ships or return to the solar system.

The two ships will be equipped with a hibernation cabin that is independent of the two ships, and one of the seven fusion engines on the two ships will be used to propel it. Those who decide to return will take this temporarily assembled spacecraft and return to the solar system in hibernation. The voyage duration is estimated to be thirty-five years.

The two ships will use neutrino communications to inform Earth of the orbital parameters of the hibernating spacecraft so that it can respond when it reaches the solar system.

In order to prevent Trisolaran from detecting the position of the two ships, contact with the earth will be carried out after a period of time after the hibernating spacecraft sets sail.

If the Earth can send a response spacecraft to assist in decelerating the spacecraft before it reaches solar system 2.6, there will be more fuel for propulsion during the acceleration phase, and the return journey can be shortened to more than ten years.

Of course, everything assumes - if there is still a solar system and earth at that time.

Only more than two hundred people chose to return. The rest did not want to return to the world that was heading for destruction, so they decided to continue sailing with the "Blue Space" and "Gravity" and fly into the unknown depths of space.

A month later, the two ship formations and the hibernating spacecraft set off at the same time, each flying in different directions: the hibernating spacecraft returned to the solar system along the way it came, while the [Blue Space] and [Gravity] planned to bypass the four-dimensional fragments, and then determine A new target galaxy.

The light of the fusion engine illuminated the thinned dust cloud belt, turning it into a golden red, like the warm sunset glow of the earth, making everyone, both those who returned home and those who traveled far away, burst into tears.

The beautiful space sunset quickly disappeared, and the eternal night enveloped everything again.

The two seeds of human civilization continue to float into the depths of the star sea. No matter what the fate is, everything finally begins again. .
