Chapter 119: Space Warp
Part 14 Smash Bros. in the Alien Realm Chapter 119 Space Distortion
One, two, three......
Everyone came in full of food and drink, and those who dared to stay were all elites, and the marching speed was extremely fast at the beginning, and the effective range of each shot was one kilometer, which could be completed in five minutes.
It's just that, although it should be going straight in one direction, I feel that the direction of the leader's shooting every time seems to be slightly different from the bullet marks that I have walked before, and more careful adventurers have vaguely found that the road they have walked before is not straight.
Intermittently, so someone raised the question.
"It doesn't matter, it's not straight in the first place, that's a normal phenomenon of space distortion." In this regard, the team leader was not surprised, "It has always been like this. ”
Duguhong and Professor Lent glanced at each other and didn't speak, what the team leader said was basically the truth.
And so, with the sound of gunfire, everyone walked through the ground of the gravel wilderness, step by step......
The crisp sound of gunfire, from time to time, provokes the sound of sighing or fluttering nearby, making this gravel wilderness seem both desolate and mysterious.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of minutes had passed, and somewhere, the expedition had stopped again.
They couldn't stop there, and in front of them, two green bullet marks actually met, crossed each other, and then extended to an unknown place, that is, they walked back to the place they had just walked.
"I didn't ...... It doesn't matter, it's normal, just keep walking along the bullet marks......"
Although the team leader is repeating the same rhetoric, everyone can feel that this time his confidence is unprecedentedly insufficient, and it is very likely that this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
"Don't go on, stop, right?" If someone else said this, the team leader might have refuted it at the first time, but it was Professor Lent who said this, so he couldn't help but think about it.
Could it be that this dry and thin old man has discovered something?
Professor Lunt didn't take the shelf, and directly stated his opinion: "I think you all know that the shortest distance between two points in space is a straight line. However, this is only for universal space, and once space is distorted, this rule no longer applies. ”
"It's like a piece of paper, when it's flat, the distance between two points on it, just take a ruler and stroke it will come out, but if you fold the paper, the situation is completely different."
"The idea of bullet mark marking is very good, in the distorted space, the rule of the shortest distance is completely changed, but as long as you know the end position, the mark left by the bullet, although it does not look straight, is the new shortest distance, or in other words, in the distorted space, this is the real straight line. But ......"
Professor Lunt first praised the team leader, and then changed his words: "However, no matter how distorted the space is, as long as it remains intact, there is one rule that remains the same, and that is that straight lines never intersect themselves. ”
Everyone's eyes moved to the trajectory of the intersection in the air.
"So what should we do now?" It's not close to entering the wilderness, and even if you want to quit at this time, you may not be able to get out.
"Let's check with the person inside, did they move their position during this time?" Professor Lent sighed, mainly because it was unlikely.
The distance between the two sides is at least a few hundred kilometers, and the deviation caused by their movement is probably not as large as the error when the leader shoots, with the degree of distortion here, if it is only an error of this grade, the possibility of the trajectory intersection is really very small......
The result of the inquiry was the same as Professor Lunt's guess, and in order to save energy, the three people of the ruins did not even get up, let alone move their positions.
"In that case, there are only two possibilities left...... Either there was a spatial fault on the road we just passed, or or, just as we were advancing, the spatial rules of this place happened to change once. ”
"Hopefully the first case......," Professor Lent sighed again, "the only way to do this is to move a distance laterally out of this area, and then move on, hoping to get out of that rift zone." ”
The expert opinion, everyone obeyed without doubt, so the next shot was aimed at the direction almost perpendicular to the destination.
After repeating this more than a dozen times, everyone's footsteps stopped again, not because they had confirmed that they had broken out of the zone of influence of the rupture, but because there was another meeting point in the direction in which everyone was heading.
This could not have been an intersection with the bullet marks before the folding, when the mark, calculated time, must have disappeared.
Undoubtedly, the people who are moving forward in the way of bullet marks are just constantly circling in circles.
"What do we do now?" Although the situation was strange, the leader did not lose confidence, at least on the surface, since the expedition team dared to send him to Egypt, as the first to pick up the team left behind in the ruins, they naturally believed in his leadership.
In fact, if it were another leader, who was hit five or three times like the Abilities Council, I am afraid that the team would have dispersed a long time ago, not to mention that they had brought a small number of people and materials to this place.
"What should I do?" Unconsciously, Professor Lent seemed to have become a lifesaver for a group of people, and when he heard this, everyone looked at the thin old man together, and the thin old man smiled bitterly, "Sit down and rest!" ”
Even so, the thin old man didn't let everyone rest, and while everyone sat down, Dugu Hong was still busy on the side.
I don't know where to take out more than a dozen wooden sticks and some thin threads, and together with Huang Rong, Lin Ling, and Mo Ye, he stuck the wooden sticks on the ground one by one, just like when he played the upside-down hanging man, it seemed that the sticks were still those sticks.
These sticks were arranged in a shape similar to a clock dial around one center, and then Duguhong used those lines to connect the wooden sticks in the center and edge one by one, so that they were distributed in a radial pattern.
At this moment, everyone finally saw the most intuitive signs of spatial distortion......
Those threads were in the air, obviously pulled by Dugu Hong's greatest force, but in fact, they were all slightly bent to a certain extent, especially when more than a dozen strings were twisted at the same time, it was like ...... The magnetic field lines simulated by fine magnetic powder, although they are not physically present, have been artificially captured.
"This space, as you can see, is distorted by an unnatural force. But in fact, the distortion is only for certain things, not for everything in this space, and if it were to that extent, you should not be able to see the distortion at all, and in the perfect distortion space, the threads that are pulled so hard should be straight. ”
"The reason why I can feel that the line is curved is because of the distortion of space, and it is not aimed at us outsiders. In fact, you can't see what the perfect distorted space looks like, because the moment you enter the space, your body tissue will collapse because it can't withstand the new curvature of the space. ”
"However, to create a flawless distortion space from macro to micro, especially microscopic distortion, the energy consumption of its energy cannot be supported even by the current controllable annihilation reactor, which is almost planetary. No matter how glorious the Nashia civilization is, it can maintain such a distorted space for a period of time, but it will never allow it to maintain normal operation for hundreds of thousands of years. ”
"And according to my observations, even if it is a macroscopic distortion, its effectiveness is quite weak, at least our bodies are not affected. It's normal for a break to occur in such a space, and I think I can ...... just a little while."
Professor Lent was explaining in this way, and in the stick array on the side, there was a series of breaking sounds, and everyone heard the sound and looked, and they saw that one-third of the rope array, which was originally at least very tight, broke directly, one-third relaxed, and one-third, although the two ends were still connected to maintain a proper tightness, but everyone could see that the arc of its bending had been completely changed.
"Twisting doesn't involve microscopic, which means that even if the pattern changes, how long these ropes are and how long they will be after the change. So when the objects that the twist can affect are changed, the ropes ......" Looking at the situation in the stick formation, Professor Lent smiled bitterly uncontrollably, "I didn't expect it to be the worst!" ”
"Who can be affected by the distortion?" Professor Lunte's big truth, although everyone seems to understand it, but everyone feels it, and this sentence is the point.
However, what can the distortion affect? What's that? A group of people were confused and confused, but they saw Duguhong pull out a wooden stick and beat the sand: "Of course it's the ground." ”
Of course, what has changed is the ground, if it weren't for the change in the ground itself, how could the rope that was originally tied up be inexplicable......
As for the so-called worst-case scenario, of course, it means that the spatial distortion of this wilderness is not unstable in the first place, but changes over time, every once in a while.
"When I entered the wilderness, when twelve steps became fourteen, I was worried about it, but I didn't say it. For if this were the case, it would be impossible for you to find a way out by your way......"
Professor Lent is still wondering why the time difference is not long, but the protection of the ruins has changed so much, but Dugu Hong on the side is already clear - it seems that the Ability Council still has no intention of giving up the ownership of the ruins, knowing that the scepter has fallen into his hands, the undead guards are no longer enough, so he simply used this method directly.
Come to think of it, the spatial warp protection of the ruins should have been like this, but in order to attract more adventurers, the difficulty was deliberately lowered from the inside.
"For today's plan, you only have hope, the original optical brain needs to calculate for a long time to get the result of the spatial curvature formula, I can always use paper and pen to solve it in time!" Shaking the pen and paper in his hand, Professor Lent sighed helplessly
