Chapter 696: The Truth of the Crossing
The Wandering Earth Fleet immediately began to prepare to set off to intercept the shipship of the Singer civilization, only in this way can all speculations be confirmed, and how to deal with the dimensionality reduction strike.
This is of course an extremely dangerous task, and even Qiao Lu knows very little about the singer civilization, and most of the information about them is vague and unknown.
In this case, intercepting the spaceship of the Singer Civilization may be about the same as the danger of the Combined Fleet intercepting water droplets, and it is impossible to imagine what kind of means the other side has and what kind of attack it will be attacked.
At this time, you can only deal with it in the most cautious way, try to test as much as possible, find a way to figure out the opponent's hole cards, and then let it go.
The first fleet to set off was only four warships, the North Underworld, the Wind Chaser, the White Eagle and the Expedition, which were mainly to undertake the combat mission of exploration, and the follow-up troops needed to follow from a distance and confirm the details of the other party before attacking with all their might.
In order to catch up with each other as soon as possible, of course, dark matter wormholes are also needed, although the speed of relying on space folding is much faster than simply driving curvature, but it still takes a month to build wormholes across a distance of two light years.
During this period, the human civilization in the solar system also learned the news of the destruction of the Trisolar Galaxy, and it was still in the form of dimensionality reduction, which was undoubtedly another worldview refresh for them.
It's just that the expected global panic did not appear, and in the face of the destruction of the distant world four light years away, human society only strangely fell silent, and everyone waited in a daze, although no one knew what they were waiting for.
Some people began to look up at the blue star in the night sky, and since the successful victory over the three-body civilization, people have subconsciously formed a firm belief that no matter how bad the situation is, as long as everyone works together, a solution can always be found.
Even in the face of a universe as cruel as a dark forest, they believe that the Wandering Earth will not abandon everyone.
There will always be someone who will come up with a feasible plan, and then devote all human strength to complete it again, just like the wall facing plan proposed by Qiao Lu at the beginning.
It's just that this time no one has been able to come up with such a reliable plan, in the face of an unprecedented dimensionality reduction attack, human civilization is like the primitive people in the age of cold weapons encountering guns and cannons, it is like encountering witchcraft, and it is impossible to understand what the principle is.
If it weren't for the fact that they had obtained the relevant technology of the Zhizi Project from the hands of the Three-Body Civilization, at least they understood what the so-called two-dimensional expansion was all about, and the scientists who wandered the earth would have been just as confused, thinking that this was something that science could not explain.
Even so, humans still know very little about dimensionality reduction, and it looks like an infinitely expanding black hole that will sooner or later swallow up the solar system.
Although Qiao Lu insisted on saving the human civilization in this world, just in case, the wandering earth was still preparing to travel to the next plane at the same time.
If all efforts fail, the coalition government may end up running away with the Wandering Earth.
Just as there is a Tinder plan behind the Wandering Earth project, a backup plan is necessary at all times.
The fate of human civilization in this world depends on whether or not it can obtain key information from the spaceship of the singer civilization.
A new dark matter wormhole is gradually taking shape in the solar system, and this wormhole is used for the spaceship of the Wandering Earth Fleet to intercept the Singer civilization, and it is also the back road of the Wandering Earth.
If it is finally determined that the singer civilization is an invincible opponent for the current human race, then the end point of this dark matter wormhole will soon be prepared as an unknown new plane, allowing the wandering earth to escape from the three-body world.
On the fleet near Pluto, Qiao Lu looked at the reconstructed dark matter wormhole and asked Ding Yi beside him:
"Is it so easy to change the destination of a wormhole? You can even travel to the next face. ”
Ding Yi replied with a smile: "Of course it's not that easy, it's all thanks to the experiments conducted by the Three-Body Civilization that we have a way to locate the new plane." ”
"You're talking about the Zhizi Project?"
"Well, but it's not the two-dimensional unfolding of protons that inspires us, it's the previous failed experiments."
"How?"
"Before the three-body civilization successfully expanded the proton into two dimensions, it actually conducted two failed experiments, the first time the proton was reduced to one dimension, and as a result, it rained one-dimensional silk in the three-body world for a day. The second was the most important experiment, when they unfolded the protons into three dimensions, and as a result, a microscopic universe and even intelligent life existed. ”
These are all described in the original Three-Body Problem, so Qiao Lu also knows these things.
However, he was a little puzzled, and asked puzzledly:
"Aren't protons three-dimensional? How can it be expanded into 3D? ”
Ding Yi smiled knowingly, as if he had expected it, and replied:
"Of course, this does not refer to turning the proton into three dimensions, but to expand the part of the proton that originally belonged to the higher dimension into three dimensions, you should have heard that when the perspective reaches nine dimensions, the number and complexity of the internal structure of an elementary particle is equivalent to the entire universe, and they expanded this part into three dimensions, so they discovered this microscopic universe."
To be honest, at this point, Qiao Lu still didn't seem to understand, so he could only ask first: "And then?" ”
"This microcosmic civilization used a mirror to launch an attack on the Three-Body Civilization, almost destroying the capital of the Three-Body Civilization."
"A civilization inside a proton actually has this ability?"
Ding Yi said pointedly: "Yes, who said that a civilization in a microcosm cannot be stronger than us? Isn't it too arrogant to think that the microcosm exists in the macrocosm or even the basic universe because we have discovered the microscopic universe in the protons? ”
"You mean ······"
"There is no macrocosm or basic universe at all, each universe is a microcosm relative to other universes, and the reason why we feel macrocosm is because we are living in this universe, just as two-dimensional beings do not feel anything wrong in two-dimensional space."
Under Ding Yi's suggestion, Qiao Lu seemed to understand something, but it was still difficult to imagine what kind of structure this was.
"If you still don't understand, you can think carefully about what is the key to each crossing of the Wandering Earth, and you may be able to guess a little."
"Faster-than-light? A source of energy? Or ······"
"It's quantization!"
Ding Yi directly announced the answer and further explained: "Quantization has changed each of us, so we can travel from one microcosm to another, and from the perspective of being in the macrocosm, this is the essence of the wandering earth." ”
It is true that the quantization of the Wandering Earth is the root cause of all this, and then from the speed of light to the interstellar gate, and then to the dark matter wormhole, without exception, this quantization phenomenon has been triggered, so as to realize the entire crossing of the Wandering Earth.
"Isn't what we're doing ······ according to you?"
"That's right, just like the singer civilization transformed itself into a two-dimensional life to adapt to the two-dimensional universe, we have inadvertently done it many times to transform ourselves from a life in a microcosm into a life in another microcosmic universe!"
