Chapter 504: Totem
The estrangement between Su Yichen and Ike was opened, and the key between the two parties in the next journey became much more harmonious, and Ike also took the initiative to invite Su Yichen and his wife to study the hourglass together, and they had no objection to this, in fact, Su Yichen wanted to understand the efficacy and origin of the hourglass more than Ike, because it was related to the key to whether they could go home.
It's a pity that the research has been going on for many days, and Ike and Su Yichen still haven't figured out the secret of the hourglass, and they can't solve the secret contained in this small hourglass, and they haven't even figured out what it can do.
Although Ike is not a scientist, he knows more about dimensions than Su Yichen and his wife, through the analysis of the equipment of the Pioneer spacecraft and the brain, this hourglass shows many characteristics, some of which are determined by the material it uses, but some of the characteristics come from nowhere, but one thing they can be sure of is that this hourglass has an obvious response to changes in the dimension and can affect the high dimension, but for the dimension of time, the hourglass has no imaginary reaction, which makes the three of them very puzzled.
According to Galen, the hourglass represents time, that is to say, the biggest reason why the Rand civilization can ascend to the dimension is probably related to the special dimension of time. In addition, Su Yichen was involved in the high-dimensional space when they encountered the spatial fluctuations of the dark matter bomb, thus breaking through the time dimension to this time and space, and this hourglass can be said to have played a great role. In this case, it stands to reason that it should be more responsive to the time dimension, but why does the result of the experiment show the opposite?
Su Yichen was also pondering this reason, and he thought of the difference between his hourglass and Galen's. The "sand" in Galen's hourglass that represents time is constantly passing, but this phenomenon is not produced in his hourglass. In addition, he remembered the strange reaction of the hourglass in high-dimensional space, and it was also possible that the equipment on the Pioneer spacecraft was the cause. Although the current Rand civilization has initially mastered the ability of high-dimensional strikes, it is still difficult to achieve targeted changes in time dimension.
In other words, if the Rand civilization can do this, then the Rand civilization will be able to travel freely through various time and space, and their ascension will become a reality. This view. Ike agreed, after all, from a realistic point of view, the two points put forward by Su Yichen may be the closest to reality.
During the research, the Pioneer spacecraft continued to head towards the interior of the Andromeda Galaxy, and after about a year or so of long travel, they finally entered the vast interior of the Andromeda Galaxy, instead of wandering around its outer edges.
The Andromeda Galaxy, an extragalactic galaxy that is very similar to the Milky Way, is extremely large, with hundreds of millions of stars in the entire galaxy. Judging from the probability of life generation, of course, there are living planets and even civilizations like the Milky Way. In fact, this point was confirmed by Su Yichen when they came to the Andromeda Galaxy by accident and came to Galen Planet, but the current time and space is too far away from the time and space where he was originally located, and the current Galen Planet may be worse than the Earth in the solar system, the concept of life has just been generated, and as a living planet, it is only in the most primitive state. Let alone. The location of the planet Galen in the coordinates of the Andromeda galaxy is still quite far from where they are now, even at the speed of the Vanguard spacecraft. It will take a long time to reach the planet Galen.
During the voyage, Ike did not blindly make a jump flight, because the Andromeda Galaxy is an unfamiliar galaxy, and Ike does not have a star map here. As mentioned earlier, in an unfamiliar airspace, especially in the absence of a star map, it is very risky to sail using jump technology. All they can do now is collect data on the surrounding airspace while sailing. If you are sure enough to make another short jump, this will save you time and improve the organization of the star map of the areas you are passing through.
Of course, among them, the Pioneer spacecraft has also been looking for the existence of a living planet. However, without interrupting the research on the hourglass, including Su Wei's space capabilities, the task of finding a living planet during the voyage fell to Raymond. Anthony's body, Raymond. Although Anthony is not a scientist, he has also learned a lot about astronautics during his long journey, not to mention that he is another extremely intelligent person, and the brain of the Pioneer spacecraft is so powerful, although this job is tedious, but not heavy.
For this task given to him, Raymond. Anthony didn't raise any objections, on the contrary, he did a good job. After a long time, Ike was relieved to take care of all this task, so that he could devote more energy to his own research.
About half a year later, the Pioneer spacecraft had already made a journey deep into the Andromeda Galaxy. Anthony was doing his job as usual, and just when he thought that there was nothing to be gained today as usual, the brain system suddenly showed a green dot somewhere in the starry sky.
When the green dot lit up, Raymond. Anthony was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he confirmed that the green dot was not a blind eye, or a false alarm of the brain system, Raymond immediately ... Anthony didn't hesitate to send a message to Ike.
In just a few minutes, Ike and Su Yichen hurried to the bridge.
"Found a living planet?"
"Yes, look at this location, this is it!" Ramon. Anthony had already enlarged the star map and displayed it clearly in front of everyone, and raised his hand to point to the position of the green dot and said.
"31 light years, it's not a long distance, and it seems that we are lucky." Ike glanced at it and quickly confirmed that Raymond. There was no problem with Anthony's information, and he immediately laughed.
Yes, 31 light years, this distance is indeed not a long distance for the Pioneer spacecraft, they only need a short jump to reach each other's vicinity in an instant, and then add curvature navigation and ordinary navigation, it will only take a few days before and after. The discovery of the living planet is good news for everyone, and if there is still intelligent life on this living planet, or even a cosmic civilization, then it will be even better.
With the discovery of the living planet, Ike decided to suspend research. Let's get closer to contact first, Su Yichen and his wife have no objection to this, and they, like Ike, are looking forward to meeting a civilization that can communicate.
The Pioneer spacecraft quickly made a brief jump, and when they jumped out of it, they were less than 2 light-years away from the living planet. Subsequently, the ship's intelligent brain launched a search for the planet. At the same time, they flew towards the location of the planet at curvature speed, and after only a few days, they came to a position very close to this small galaxy and changed to a normal navigation state.
During the voyage, the initial search of the living planet by the brain system was completed, and the final result was both happy and disappointed.
Happily, there is not only life on this living planet, but also intelligent life, and it can be said that this is the first time they came into contact with intelligent life outside the river when they came to the Andromeda Galaxy. And disappointed. The intelligent life on this planet has not entered the cosmic civilization, and his civilization level is very low, compared to the Galen planet that Su Yichen and Luo Yan have visited, the level of civilization here is even lower.
This civilization, from the analysis of the information searched by the intelligent brain, is only in the period of transformation from primitive society to feudal society, and from the civilization division of the galaxy, he is the middle and late stage of the primary primitive civilization. The intelligent life on the planet has only escaped the most primitive ignorance and has begun to have the naïve form of civilization. The rudimentary form of civilization like this. It can be said that there is no help for them at all.
Previously, both Ike and Su Yichen wanted to contact the civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy, and the main reason was to learn about some of the things about the galaxy, including the mysterious area that Ike was looking for. However, in order to do this, the level of civilization of the other party must reach the level of cosmic civilization. Even a higher degree of second- and third-level cosmic civilization is possible. And on a living planet like the one they are discovering now, the form of civilization is too primitive, and it is of no use at all.
But now that Ike is here, Ike isn't ready to leave right away. Ike is a cosmic explorer, and this is the first planet of life he discovered when he came to the Andromeda Galaxy. In the sense and for space exploration, it has some effect.
What's more, after a long voyage, Ike felt that everyone also needed to relax, so he decided to stay on this planet for a few days as planned, collecting some specific information about the planet, including the situation of the other party's civilization, as well as the analysis of the planet, etc.
Of course, it is impossible for the huge Pioneer spacecraft to land directly on this living planet, not to mention that the current Pioneer spacecraft also carries Su Yichen and their spacecraft. The landing is a small spaceship landing method, in order to ensure safety, Su Wei will stay on the Pioneer spacecraft as an intelligent life, as for Ike with Su Yichen and his wife, as well as Raymond. Anthony landed with him.
Ike's small spaceship is much more advanced than the shuttle of the Earth civilization, in fact, it is a small spaceship, and its size is not small, and the remaining space for the four of them is more than enough. The four men in special spacesuits entered the small spaceship in full gear, and soon the small spacecraft left the Pioneer spacecraft and flew towards the living planet below.
Everything went smoothly, Su Yichen didn't even feel much when he crossed the atmosphere, except that the scenery outside had changed. It was originally dark and bright with stars, and then it turned into a black mass where nothing could be seen, but this darkness passed in a flash, and gradually a touch of blue lit up, and when the blue became brighter and brighter, replacing the darkness, white reappeared. At this time, they finally saw the blue sky and white clouds that they had not seen for a long time, and saw the green space and sea that seemed familiar.
Although it is a strange planet of life, at this moment, whether it is Su Yichen or Luo Yan, or even Raymond. Anthony, they even had a feeling of returning to Earth, looking at the scenery outside, they were stunned for a moment.
Ike's performance didn't change at all, after all, as a space explorer, he had experienced too much for such a landing. However, this does not affect Ike looking at the scenery outside with an appreciative expression, although this life planet was born civilization, but his civilization is still in a very primitive state, so the environment of the entire planet is also primitive, it is this primitiveness that maintains the original appearance of the planet, Ike looked at it with interest, and at the same time speculated through these scenery about the production of this life planet and its geological changes.
Vast expanses of primeval forests, plains, mountains, oceans, rivers...... There are also signs of intelligent life. They landed in a mountainous area, and in such a primitive civilization, the summit of the mountain was an inaccessible area, and the main was the best place for them to land.
When the small ship came to a steady stop, Ike was the first to open the hatch and walk out of the ship, and when his feet stepped on the ground, he looked into the distance, the scenery here was good, the scenery was very beautiful, compared to the same cosmic stars, this was more refreshing.
After looking at the air analysis of the spacesuit, Ike directly opened the closed mask, the air here is no different from the earth including the Rand civilization, in fact, the air composition of each living planet is roughly the same, of course, there are very few differences, but from the perspective of the degree of difference, it will not have any impact on the human body.
Seeing Ike do this, Su Yichen and his wife also opened their masks, and a burst of fresh air came to their faces, Su Yichen couldn't help but take a deep breath greedily, feeling the various fragrances mixed with the air, which they couldn't enjoy in the spaceship, although the spacecraft has a complete ecological circulation system and can simulate all the states of nature. But nature is nature after all, and although this feeling cannot be distinguished by instruments, it is an innate instinct as a human being.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a winding path, and it is better to say that it is a trail than a trail. As Mr. Lu Xun said, there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road. The same is true of this trail, which has become a road because of the more people who walk it.
A car drove down the trail, pulling an animal that looked somewhat like a cow on Earth, but faster than a cow and without horns on its head. The car looked very primitive, made only of wood, the car had no compartment, it was just a pergola-like thing built on it, and in the front of the car was a wooden pole with a cloth-like flag, on which was painted a totem in black and red mineral paint, and those who knew it would immediately recognize it, which was the emblem of nobility.
