Zhang Yuan paused and said a few more words: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the technology related to dimensions is likely to be more than one level beyond us. ”

"It's hard for me to imagine how high the level of technology is in the civilization that created this high-dimensional fragment...... So, we may be inspired by this, but we may also take a huge risk and get nothing, after all, the generation gap is so great. ”

Everyone was a little hesitant to discern the opportunities and challenges brought by this high-dimensional fragment.

In the midst of this silence, suddenly, a different voice rang out in the conference room, "No, can't give up!" A high-level scientific and technological creation with a high level of civilization is too important for us! We have to study it......"

It was a young physicist named Zhang Yingbo, who seemed a little shy in front of everyone at first, but soon his voice became louder and he said what he really thought: "We do have a lot of scientific and technological heritage from the earth's civilization, and these legacies are enough for us to absorb for hundreds of years......"

"And then? As we all know, it has been a long, long time since there have been new theories on the earth's civilization! ”

"We've got stuck in our throats!"

"For natural science, the small and medium fish in the pond have long been caught, and the rest are the big fish that no one can catch, not only the people on the earth, but also us."

"Now, this big fish is completely presented in front of our eyes."

"If you give up this great opportunity for the sake of temporary safety. I think we'll be safe for a while and regret it for the rest of our lives...... Our children and grandchildren will forever regret this cowardly decision today. ”

There was silence in the conference room for a few seconds, and then there was a commotion, in fact, many scientists reported the same idea, including Zhang Yuan, he just didn't say it.

"I agree with the doctor."

"I agree with that."

Even if it is possible to pay the price of life, it seems to be nothing in the face of great curiosity and profit.

Three hours later, after a heated discussion, in the end, after a series of votes, it was retained, and then the side that explored it a second time still won by a narrow margin.

In order to prevent it from flare-ups, it can only be left in the outermost living quarters. Anyway, as long as you don't swallow important parts such as the engine, it's okay to swallow some of the structure of the living quarters. The living area is a tight honeycomb structure, and even if the outer rooms are broken, the inside can still be used normally.

And so, in full view of everyone, a scout robot slowly entered the room, and then carefully picked up the fragment.

Zhang Yuan's eyes widened, staring at the screen tightly, and his heartbeat increased rapidly.

Fortunately, though, nothing happened.

Everything is uneventful......

Captain Zhao wiped the sweat from his face, "Okay, it seems that ordinary touch won't trigger it...... Let's transfer this high-dimensional fragment to the N area next door, and we'll repair the hole in the M area...... Then study it, or do a second exploration. ”

After that, everyone is free to use their imagination, and in the absence of any knowledge, it is better to come up with a conjecture and then prepare the relevant bill, than to prepare nothing.

"So guys, what I want to ask is, where did this high-dimensional fragment come from? What does it do? How can we reactivate this piece of fragment, do you have any more ideas? ”

Another scientist stood up and said, "I think there is a high probability that it is related to the explosion of the Seamount 2 supernova. ”

"Look, this high-dimensional fragment looks like a broken glass shard. Why resemble a glass slag and not other shapes? ”

"Like, why doesn't it look like a ball? Why not a cube? ”

This question seems a bit nonsensical.

The scientist explained: "It is well known that the sphere, or ellipsoid, is not only more beautiful in appearance, but also has better mechanical properties. Even if the aesthetics of extraterrestrial civilizations are not necessarily the same as ours, the concept of mathematics is definitely more developed than ours...... It's impossible for them not to understand these truths. I really can't imagine any good mechanical properties of a broken glass slag. ”

"Therefore, we can make a bold assumption: near Haishan 2, there may be a large-scale project of super civilization!"

"It is precisely because of this supernova explosion that it was destroyed, and this kind of broken glass slag-like fragments appeared......"

"Coupled with the fact that it has a very small mass, it is able to move close to the speed of light in the universe and just collide with our spaceship. Because the mass is small, the kinetic energy is not large...... So we came across. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, this hypothesis sounded like a fantasy, but it didn't seem to have any big loopholes......

The only oddity is why a supercivilization would build its project near a supernova.

In fact, the problem itself is not very nutritious, even if people know that Haishan 2 has super civilization creations, so what? It is 7,000 light-years away from humanity, and it has been destroyed, and at most it is impossible to listen to some gossip content, and it is impossible to really run over and take a look.

Lin Xuanxuan stood behind him and whispered, "In that case, if we can find a second piece of glass shard moving at high speed, we can prove this hypothesis." ”

"The relics of super civilizations...... she began to be in a quiet daze again, "I don't know what the daily life of other civilizations is like...... Isn't it the same as us humans? ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "The probability of finding the second piece of fragment is too small, even if a material as big as a black hole, distributed on the scale of seven thousand light years, is so sparse that there is no way to find it." We were lucky enough to encounter a high-dimensional fragment. And if we get hit by multiple high-dimensional debris, our ship will be doomed. ”

The most important thing is the second question, how to stimulate this high-dimensional fragment?

Because the number of excitations observed is only twice, the sample is so small that there is no regular conclusion at all.

Some people think that it has something to do with the speed of the debris, and as long as it is accelerated to a very high speed, it may be able to excite; Some people think it is related to energy and temperature; There are also people who feel that it has something to do with the time node.

Anyway, discussions come and go, and there will be no real conclusions until the experimental results are definitively made.

……

A day later.

The high-dimensional fragments have been moved to an empty hall in Sector N, where they are being monitored by a variety of instruments, and many physicists are almost risking their lives to study them.

A solemn funeral was held in Area A.

Although Zhang Yuan escaped from the high-dimensional space, the other two soldiers theoretically had no chance of surviving.

This is the first case of a death in the line of duty in the spaceship, and the atmosphere is a little heavy. Zhang Yuan has always felt that it is not of much significance to issue any "first-class merit" to the deceased. But at this moment, he understood that in fact, all kinds of merits are awarded to the living......

This kind of solemn ritual is very important for a civilization. It is not enough for a person to have this life, nor can he just live in the present, he should also have poetry and ideals.
