"Are you going to pay such a price for victory in the war?"
It was hard for Cheng Xin to imagine what it would be like to live in a space that was reduced to one dimension.
In a two-dimensional space, everything in the world looks like just a few line segments of different lengths. Is it really possible for people who have lived in a three-dimensional world to live in a piece of thin paper with no thickness?
Of course, life in three-dimensional space is also unimaginable to people in the four-dimensional world.
In fact, it wasn't just Cheng Xin who couldn't imagine that kind of life. Even though Liang Bing had experienced two universes, he still couldn't imagine it!
But Guan Yifan's answer was very simple: "It's better than dying."
Ignoring the shock of Cheng Xin and Liang Bing, Guan Yifan continued: "The speed of light is also a regularly used weapon, but building a light tomb for yourself or the black domain you mentioned is not included in this list. It is just a life-saving move for us weak bugs. , the gods disdain this.”
"In war, low-light speed black holes can be created to seal the enemy inside; but they are mostly used for defense, as walls and traps."
"Some low-light speed zones are so large that they span the entire spiral arm of a galaxy. Where stars are densely packed, a large number of low-light speed black holes merge into one."
"Stretching for tens of millions of light years, it is the Great Interstellar Wall. No matter how powerful the fleet is, it will never be able to get out once it is trapped. This is an obstacle that is difficult to overcome."
When he heard Guan Yifan use "gods" once, Liang Bing felt a strange emotion in his heart.
In comparison, the gods of the known universe are really ridiculous!
"What will happen if this continues?"
Cheng Xin asked.
"As a result of the dimensional attack, the proportion of two-dimensional space in the universe gradually increases and will eventually exceed three-dimensional space. One day, the third macro dimension will completely disappear and the universe will become two-dimensional."
"As for light speed attack and defense, low light speed areas will continue to increase. These areas will eventually be connected through diffusion, and the different slow light speeds in them will balance to the same value. This value is the new C value of the universe."
"At that time, science like ours, which is in its infancy, will think that the speed of light in a vacuum of more than ten kilometers per second is an iron-like cosmological constant, just like our current speed of three hundred thousand kilometers per second."
"Of course, these are just two examples. There are other laws of the universe that have been used as weapons, but so far we don't know what they are. It is very likely that all laws can be weaponized. At some point in the universe, Part of it, the rules of being used as weapons may even include... Of course, this is just a guess, it's too mysterious, and I don't believe it."
"What is included?"
Liang Bing also asked.
"Mathematical laws."
Guan Yifan replied.
"This is... too crazy!"
The two of them exhausted their imaginations, but they still couldn't grasp this incredible picture, even. It's hard to even grab a corner of it
“Will the universe turn into a ruins of war?”
Cheng Xin asked again, but quickly thought of a more accurate expression: "In other words, will the laws of nature become the ruins of war?"
"Maybe already... Now, physics and cosmology in the new world are just doing one thing, trying to restore the original laws of nature before the war."
Guan Yifan replied: "Moreover, there is already a relatively clear theoretical model describing the universe that has not been changed by the war.
"It was a beautiful countryside. That era was more than 10 billion years ago. It was called the Pastoral Age of the universe."
"Of course, that kind of beauty can only be described by mathematics. It is impossible for us to imagine the universe at that time. Not only have we not experienced it, but the dimensions of our brains are not enough."
Guan Yifan continued: "The universe in the pastoral era was not only four-dimensional, but ten-dimensional."
"The speed of light in vacuum at that time was not much higher than it is now, but close to infinity. The light at that time acted at a distance and could travel from one end of the universe to the other in one Planck time... If you have been there If you look at the four-dimensional space, you will know what a beautiful place the ten-dimensional universe is."
"You can listen to what I said as a story. I only saw a little bit of the truth. The rest is just speculation. You should just treat it as a guess. It's a dark myth made up. story……"
Having said this, Guan Yifan fell silent.
But he said so much, and he said it so truthfully. Cheng Xin and Liang Bing had been stunned for a long time. How could they regard what he said today as a nonsense fairy tale? ?
"Then, can it be understood that in the era of war after the pastoral era, one dimension after another was imprisoned from the macroscopic to the microscopic, and the speed of light also slowed down step by step..."
Liang Bing also quickly thought of the crux of the problem.
Is this the truth of this universe?
When dimensions above four still existed, was it possible to exceed the speed of light and be comparable to the known universe of super gods?
It's only now that there is only a broken three-dimensional space left, and the speed of light seems so unpalatable. Even when encountering areas that have been dimensionally reduced, or areas covered by dead lines and black areas, the so-called curvature technology no longer has any effect.
"I said, it's all speculation." Guan Yifan did not answer as carefully as before this time, and his voice gradually became lower: "No one knows whether the truth is darker than speculation... But one thing is for sure Yes, the universe is dying."
At this time, the acceleration of the spacecraft stopped, and it seemed that it had reached its destination.
"Okay ladies, we're almost there."
Guan Yifan was the first to get up from the cabin where his body was fixed.
But Cheng Xin and Liang Bing seemed to have not heard what he said. They were still immersed in what he said before, or they were in a daze!
"Maybe I shouldn't be doing this with you!"
At this moment, Guan Yifan suddenly felt apologetic in his heart.
"I'm going to find out sooner or later."
Only then did Cheng Xin raise her head, but her voice was still very soft.
"I'll say it again, it's all speculation. There is no real scientific proof. Don't think so much and just focus on the life in front of you."
Guan Yifan shook his head helplessly: "Those things I said, even if they are true, are based on hundreds of millions of years."
"You go to our world, it will also be your world, live the life you want to live there."
"Stop crossing time drastically. As long as you limit your life to a hundred thousand years and the scope of your life to a thousand light years, those things have nothing to do with you."
"One hundred thousand years, one thousand light years, is that enough?"
A life time of one hundred thousand years and an activity range of one thousand light years are indeed enough.
"Thanks!"
The two expressed their gratitude to Guan Yifan again.
"Can your light speed spacecraft create a dead line?"
Seeing that the spacecraft driven by Guan Yifan had dropped below the speed of light, Liang Bing asked curiously.
A normal-powered warp spaceship couldn't do it, at least not the one she and Cheng Xin piloted before.
That spaceship was actually researched by herself.
However, no matter how much she invested in research, she could not upgrade the curvature engine on the spacecraft to travel more than twice the speed of light.
Now, seeing that the spacecraft driven by Guan Yifan seemed to be traveling at super-light speed, she also wanted to find out the other party's technology.
But Guan Yifan's answer disappointed Liang Bing: "Far from it."
After all, if this spaceship could produce a dead line, he would not dare to stop flying at super-light speed so close to his own world.
"Then have you ever seen a curvature spacecraft that can produce a dead line before?"
Liang Bing asked again.
"I haven't seen it, but I have seen the dead line left behind."
Guan Yifan replied: "We believe that dead lines are usually caused by those who return to zero."
"Zero?"
Hearing this, Liang Bing repeated these words that seemed familiar to him but also seemed very unfamiliar.
"Also called restarters, they may be a group of intelligent individuals, or they may be a civilization, or several civilizations. We don't know, but their existence has been confirmed."
Guan Yifan continued: "Zero wants to restart the universe and return to the pastoral era."
"How do they do it?"
Liang Bing was shocked!
Isn't this too shocking?
I originally thought that what Guan Yifan said before, that the "gods" of this universe use dimensions to attack was outrageous enough!
Unexpectedly, there is something even more outrageous, that it can actually restart the universe?
"According to our guess, move the hour hand past twelve o'clock..."
Guan Yifan replied: "For example, in the space dimension, it is almost impossible to bring a universe that has fallen into a low dimension back to a high dimension."
"But work in the other direction, reduce the universe to zero dimensions, and then continue to reduce dimensions."
"In this way, it will be possible to return to the original direction from zero and return the macroscopic dimensions of the universe to ten dimensions."
But this is just their conjecture. Perhaps the method of restarting the Zeroers will be simpler and more crude.
"Zero dimension? Have you ever seen space made into zero dimension?"
"No, like you, I have only seen two-dimensional transformation, not even one-dimensional transformation."
Guan Yifan shook his head: "But there must be zeroers doing it in some places. No one knows whether it has been successful."
"Relatively speaking, it is easier to reduce the speed of light to zero, and they have done more, trying to push the speed of light past zero and reproduce infinite light speed."
"Is this possible, theoretically?"
Liang Bing still didn't believe it.
After all, it is simply incredible for a civilization, or a group of life that also relies on the universe to exist, to want to influence the universe with its own power.
That is to say, even if the Zero Returner restarts the universe, it may be the so-called laws of the universe, or mathematical laws.
"We don't know yet, maybe the Nullifier theory suggests it's possible."
"But it seems impossible to me. For example, zero light speed is an insurmountable wall. Zero light speed is the absolute death of all existence, which means that there is no longer any movement."
"In this state, it is impossible for the subjective to have any effect on the objective. How can it be possible to continue to move the 'clock hand' forward? What Zero Returner does is more like a kind of religion and a kind of performance art."
Guan Yifan replied with uncertainty.
Perhaps Zero Zero really has other ways to restart the universe.
His current speculation about the Returner is like a farmer who thinks that the emperor will plow the land with a golden hoe, using his own knowledge to measure an existence that he cannot understand.
"The universe is rich and colorful, and there are all kinds of "people" or worlds."
Guan Yifan continued: "There are idealists like the Returners, there are pacifists, there are philanthropists, and there are civilizations that only focus on art and beauty, but they are not the mainstream and cannot lead the direction of the universe."
"Just like the human world."
"For the Zeroes, however, their work will ultimately be accomplished by the universe itself."
"Are you talking about the end of the universe?"
Liang Bing asked again.
"yes."
"But as far as I know, the universe will continue to expand forever, becoming increasingly sparse and cold."
Cheng Xin couldn't help but interrupt at this time.
"That was your cosmology, and we overturned that conclusion."
Guan Yifan chuckled: "The amount of dark matter has been underestimated. The universe will stop expanding, then collapse under its own gravity, and finally become a singularity and explode again, returning everything to zero."
"So, the ultimate winner is nature..."
The only thing that can exist forever is nature!
"Is the new universe ten-dimensional?"
At this time, Liang Bing looked at the dark space outside through the observation port inside the spacecraft.
"It's impossible to know. There are endless possibilities. After all, it's a brand new universe and a brand new life."
Guan Yifan also looked out into the universe, and his eyes became as deep as the universe.
"When I heard you mention the Zero Returner, I suddenly remembered that I once met an "Enlightener"."
"I don't know, have you ever heard of this enlightener?"
Liang Bing asked again.
She asked Guan Yifan before if he knew Zhang Heng, but Guan Yifan said he didn't know.
Now she felt that maybe she asked the question in the wrong way.
When the universe was known, Zhang Heng was called "The Enlightener" later on. So is it possible that Zhang Heng in this world also started to use this title?
"The Enlightener?"
Feeling that Liang Bing's words seemed to mean comparing the Returner to the Enlightenment, it was Guan Yifan's turn to make a difference: "Can you elaborate?"
He didn't doubt Liang Bing's words were false. The universe was too big, and everything they knew didn't mean it belonged to the universe.
"Uh...how should I say..."
Seeing that Guan Yifan asked him to introduce the inspirer in detail, Liang Bing didn't know where to start.
After all, in the known universe, compared to angels, she had too little contact with Zhang Heng, and they could not even be considered acquaintances at all.
If she really wanted to say it, she could only say this: "If this universe really will come to an end, Zero Zero's restart plan is really feasible, and a new universe will be born by then..."
"Then, I am absolutely sure that these enlighteners can exist until that time."
"In other words, if we can find this enlightener, or learn what methods he uses to avoid the effects of man-made and natural disasters in the universe, then we can, like him, go to the new universe. Life……"
Liang Bing said with great certainty.
Because, in her opinion, since the current universe is the universe where Zhang Heng once lived, Zhang Heng later appeared in the known universe again.
Then, it means that the outcome has been determined, and Zhang Heng must have a way to avoid all disasters.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how Zhang Heng ended up in the known universe.
"This is unrealistic!"
Hearing this, Guan Yifan shook his head.
Enlightener?
Does the ghost know what form it or it exists in and where it exists?
Even if it can be found, how can humans get a way to travel to the new universe from him?
"No, this is still possible..."
But Liang Bing did not agree with Guan Yifan's idea this time, and continued: "Because, this enlightener is also a human being like us..."
