Chapter 161, Shocking Discovery——[The Lord Of The Rings]
Since the discovery of the existence of four-dimensional fragments, the [Blue Space] rover has conducted a lot of detection and research on this space. Now the addition of the [Gravity] rover has brought more advanced equipment and technology, making the detection range and The depth has been greatly expanded.
Not only are the crews on the two starships full of curiosity about the four-dimensional space, people outside the screen also hope that they can learn more about the secrets of this universe from the information revealed in the video.
Amid the expectations of countless viewers, Starship humans have gradually deepened their research on four-dimensional space debris.
Then, an accidental discovery shocked people in both worlds!
In the three-dimensional space, the area where the starship humans are now is very empty, and there seems to be nothing abnormal.
However, when the perspective of detection research shifted to the four-dimensional space, people immediately discovered that their original views were wrong.
It is very difficult to release a detector in four dimensions. Most detection research mainly uses astronomical telescopes to send the telescope into the fourth dimension through the warp point to observe the surrounding space.
It takes a period of adaptation to operate a three-dimensional instrument in a four-dimensional space. When the observation proceeds normally, a shocking discovery is immediately made.
The detector launched by the starship humans discovered a ring-shaped object. Since its distance from the spacecraft could not be determined, its volume could not be measured.
After very imprecise calculations, the starship humans estimated that its three-dimensional diameter was about 80 to 100 kilometers, and the hoop diameter was about 20 kilometers, like a space Lord of the Rings.
A complex circuit-like structure can be seen on its appearance. Judging from its appearance, it is basically certain that this object was made by an intelligent body.
This is the first time that humans have directly observed a third-party cosmic civilization beyond the two worlds!
And an even more shocking fact is that the [Lord of the Rings] is closed!
Starship humans entered the four-dimensional space to observe it, and found that the [Lord of the Rings] did not show a three-dimensional unfolded posture like other objects, and its interior was completely invisible!
This means that the [Lord of the Rings] must be a real four-dimensional object, rather than a three-dimensional creation that accidentally entered the four-dimensional space!
This is undoubtedly the first time that humans have directly observed the existence of four-dimensional objects!
However, the starship humans did not feel the slightest joy. The first thing that emerged in their hearts was the fear of being attacked!
However, after careful observation, people found that there was no sign of activity on the surface of the [Lord of the Rings], and no electromagnetic waves, neutrinos, and gravitational wave signals were detected from it.
[The Lord of the Rings] showed no signs of acceleration except for its slow rotation. Guan Yifan and others initially judged that this might be a ruins, a long-abandoned space city or a spaceship.
This discovery immediately detonated the audience outside the video.
Everyone can realize what it means to discover an abandoned four-dimensional life creation!
You know, even the water droplets in the Trisolaran world that can be called absolute defense are as fragile as real water drops from a four-dimensional perspective.
So when starship humans master the technology left over from high-dimensional civilization, to what extent will their technology leap forward?
Some optimistic viewers even believe that this gift from the high-dimensional world may be the key to breaking the laws of the dark forest!
In the subsequent observations, the starship humans indeed discovered more unknown objects deep in the four-dimensional fragments. They were of different sizes and shapes, but they all had obvious characteristics of intelligent manufacturing.
There are pyramid shapes, cross shapes, polygonal frame structures, etc., as well as various irregular combinations, but they are obviously not natural celestial bodies.
There are already more than a dozen such objects whose shapes can be distinguished by telescopes, and there are a large number of objects further away that can only be seen as point-like objects, totaling hundreds.
Like the Lord of the Rings, they show no signs of activity or emit any detectable signals. They also have one thing in common: they are all closed four-dimensional entities.
Guan Yifan proposed to Captain Chu Yan that he would drive a spaceship to inspect the [Lord of the Rings] at close range and enter its interior if possible. This request was firmly rejected.
Navigating in four-dimensional space is full of dangers. Four coordinates are needed to determine position, while equipment or visual inspection from the three-dimensional world can only determine three coordinates.
In this way, for a three-dimensional navigator, the position of any object in the four-dimensional space is uncertain.
Whether using existing instruments or visual inspection, explorers cannot determine the location and distance of the [Lord of the Rings], and may suddenly hit it.
At the same time, it is difficult to find the return warp point in four-dimensional space.
Since there is one dimensional coordinate that cannot be determined, if a warping point is found, only its direction can be known, but the distance cannot be determined.
Sometimes the warp point may be far away from the spacecraft. After returning to the three-dimensional space and time through it, it will also fall to a place very far away from the spacecraft.
Another thing that made Chu Yan determined to retreat was that the interiors of the two spacecrafts were hit by micrometeorites six times at the same time in one day.
As we go deeper into the four-dimensional fragments, the density of micrometeorites increases significantly. At the same time, large meteorites visible to the naked eye are also observed passing near the spacecraft. Their relative speed to the spacecraft is several times the speed of the third universe.
In three-dimensional space, the key parts of the spacecraft are protected layer by layer and can withstand the impact of these meteorites, but now, they are completely exposed in the four-dimensional space without any protective capabilities.
Therefore, Chu Yan immediately ordered the two starships to leave the four-dimensional space immediately and return to the safe three-dimensional world!
But Guan Yifan was furious at this decision: "..." The biggest secret of the universe is right in front of us. The answers to all questions in cosmology may be hidden here. How can we leave?
"Are you talking about [Three and Three Hundred Thousand Syndrome]? The four-dimensional fragment really makes me think about it." (Note)
"Even considering reality, we may get something unexpected from the ruins of the ring!" Guan Yifan gritted his teeth.
"But the premise of all this is to survive. Now, the two ships are facing destruction at any time."
Guan Yifan sighed and shook his head, saying: "Well, let me take a spaceship to detect the [Lord of the Rings] before leaving. Don't you want to survive? Then give me a chance. Maybe our future survival depends on me." What a discovery this time!”
After thinking for a long time, Chu Yan finally agreed to Guan Yifan's request: "We can consider launching an unmanned detector.
"In the four-dimensional world, you can only know what it is when you see it with your own eyes. You should know this better than me."
PS: Three and Three Hundred Thousand Syndrome: [Three] refers to the three-dimensional space, and [Three Hundred Thousand] refers to the speed of light, which describes human beings' fear of the physical laws that limit themselves. .
