Chapter 5: The World Opposite
"Need to buy a camera, remember that there seems to be online shopping in this world? But after such a time, it will take at least a few days for the logistics to recover......"
"You can consider using my mobile phone directly, as long as you tie a selfie stick and hand it to the opposite side, I hope to be able to shoot successfully, if not, find another way......"
"As for the test of the atmosphere and germs, I don't seem to have too many conditions, and I can only do some basic tests...... Why don't you come back tomorrow by buying a few chickens and a few potted plants or something? ”
“……”
It was the dead of night, but there was no sense of silence at all, and the city outside was still noisy, and perhaps that would continue until tomorrow.
Under such circumstances, Mo Chen couldn't sleep, so he kept writing and drawing in his notebook, thinking and considering detailed plans, which was also to make himself more confident and more at ease.
The curtains are tightly covered, and in the center of the room is a blue film of light, which ripples like water waves, but the whole is very stable.
- The Rubik's Cube, which projected a light film, was placed in the center of the room at the moment.
In the afternoon, after Mo Chen safely passed the double difficulties of his parents from this world, he opened the Rubik's Cube again. He had no idea of using energy sparingly, because it didn't make much sense.
Because of the previous big movement, the Rubik's Cube after charging should theoretically be able to support an incomparably long period of use.
And if you can't last too long, you still need to recharge frequently, then this process is impossible to avoid by yourself, and it is even more unnecessary to use it sparingly, on the contrary, it can help you confirm it as soon as possible-
How long a cube can last after a single charge.
By "using" here, I mean that it projects a strange blue beam of light, reflecting the state of the blue light film. For now, it seems to be fairly stable, and there is no trend of running out of energy at all.
On the floor next to the light film, a pile of miscellaneous items was placed in a mess, from books to furniture.
Mo Chen has already done preliminary experiments, for example, if you put a book into the light film, it will not come out from the other side, but will disappear directly into it, but as long as you carefully pull it back, nothing will happen.
Behind the film of light does seem to be another space, and it does little damage to objects passing through.
It's just that the difference between living things and non-living things is quite large. Therefore, Mo Chen can't be rashly sure that it is no problem for books and other sundries to pass through, and it will be equally safe when he wears through himself.
He was in front of the light film at the moment, fixing his phone to the stand of the selfie stick, then turning on the camera, and extending the length of the telescopic pole to a maximum of 120 centimeters.
Then, he picked up the selfie stick and slowly poked his phone into the opposite side of the portal.
However, after a sudden pause, Mo Chen seemed to have thought of something temporarily, hurriedly took back the phone, ran to the computer desk not far away, and quickly set it up.
Soon, the footage taken by the mobile phone was linked to the computer in real time.
There was nothing special about this, but he wanted to verify whether the optical film would isolate radiation such as electromagnetic waves. If it is blocked, it will have no effect, and he can still see the situation on the other side when he takes back his phone.
Of course, the radio waves are indeed blocked—
The selfie stick had just poked into the light film and disappeared into the space opposite, and on the computer monitor not far away, the normal shooting picture suddenly froze, and then began to display the words "buffering".
After two seconds, it simply becomes "The connection has been disconnected".
But it was to be expected, so he wasn't surprised.
Mo Chen remained silent, just silently calculating the time and turning the selfie stick, and just a minute later, he pulled the selfie stick back. The phone fixed on the stand is still working and there are no problems.
This can be regarded as good news, at least to make a preliminary confirmation that the physical rules on the other side are not very different.
If electricity and magnetism are eliminated, it will be a fool. Because theoretically speaking, the opposite side is a place that follows the laws of exotic physics, in which case you may have just passed by and the whole body has been broken down into elementary particles.
Maybe it's different regions in the same universe? If that's the case, then there's a lot less to think about.
However, it should not be taken lightly, even if it is the same universe, the ecosystems of different planets are likely to be completely different, and perhaps the atmosphere that humans can breathe is a deadly environment for life on another planet.
Vice versa.
What's more, it's not sure if the "door" on the opposite side happens to be open on another planet, so if you fall into the cosmic vacuum, it's a lot of fun.
Thinking like this, he easily untied the phone from the selfie stick stand, and stopped shooting and saved it first, instead of directly clicking on it to watch.
Maybe it's to escape from the previous thing, or to divert his attention, there is a focus that can distract his mind and not always be cranky, so Mo Chen has now focused all his energy and mind on this matter.
It is precisely because of this that he works hard to use his brain and take care of all aspects as much as possible.
But even so, it is definitely impossible to think it through, after all, Mo Chen is alone, and the resources at hand, whether it is manpower and material resources, do not have the conditions to really conduct a comprehensive experiment-
To be honest, he can't even figure out "his" bank card password now, if it weren't for the fact that there is also payment software in this world, which can also be unlocked with a fingerprint.
So the problem he is facing now is probably to think about whether he should pretend to have a wave of amnesia first.
However, the current situation is not so bad after all, and he does not have the luxury of expecting to be able to do all kinds of experiments on his own, he just intends to do his best to confirm whether the world on the other side of the light film is safe.
As soon as he was basically sure that there was no problem, he would start exploring the space on the other side himself.
——Do your best to ensure the safety factor to the greatest extent, but you will not shirk the necessary risks, this is a bottom line that Mo Chen subconsciously delineated for himself.
Maybe turning over the country or something will avoid the danger of exploring the other world.
However, the celestial accident that occurred before directly put an end to such a possibility, and he was not a member of a terrorist organization that claimed that he had a lofty ideal of serving the country and the people in his heart, and wanted to realize this lofty ideal.
Therefore, he did not want to be responsible for the previous phenomenon at all, you must know that at that time, I don't know how many planes in the sky fell, and as long as the aviation of various countries flew in the sky, they were basically wiped out.
And the most important thing is that he is a time-traveler, or the kind who has not inherited much memory of this world, if he is really targeted by the state apparatus, he does not have much confidence to hide this matter.
It's not realistic to slice or something, and he doesn't believe in the statement that he is so retarded, but ......
Life imprisonment, restriction of freedom, blood tests from time to time, and various project research - such a high-level rice worm life, I'm afraid it doesn't mean that because he didn't apply, he didn't need to accept it.
This kind of thing, Mo Chen felt that he absolutely couldn't accept it.
clicked on the saved mobile phone shooting record on the computer, and soon the light appeared on the monitor, and he subconsciously held his breath, waiting for the next specific picture.
It should be a different planet on the other side, right?
Or is it a cosmic vacuum?
However, it should not be the latter, because ordinary smartphones cannot work properly in an unprotected space environment.
It's not because of gravity or anything, but once in a vacuum, some electronic components will be depressurized explosively by the air inside the package.
Moreover, without the protection of the earth's magnetic field, directly facing various rays in the universe can also lead to software problems and hardware damage.
And the extreme temperatures, too, are a problem.
So, an alien planet is the most likely, right? What would it look like, a desert as far as the eye could see, or would Pandora have boulders floating in the air, like icebergs moving slowly on the sea?
"Zizi...... Zizi ......"
At this time, some chaotic voices came, and Mo Chen, who was thinking wildly, subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and then saw the picture that appeared on the monitor.
The opposite scene seems to be a ...... A bustling urban area?!
The camera seems to be on a pitch-black rooftop, with a good view of the wide avenue below, as well as the coast and pier in the distance, which seems to be a port city.
Under the scorching sun, the streets are filled with soldiers and pedestrians, and the buildings have a bit of an 18th-century British flavor.
But as Mo Chen moved the shooting angle, he found that there were electrified railroad tracks in the air above the city, and with a piercing roar, a tram could be seen passing on the empty tracks......
Although this minute or so of video can only be said to be a glimpse of the scene due to the shooting angle and pixels, it is enough to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of a unique and shocking bustling city.
It's just—
"Wait a minute, what era is this?"
After playing this video back and forth again and again I don't know how many times, Mo Chenzai carefully observed the things that were filmed, tried to distinguish them, and tried to analyze what valuable information from them.
On the other side seems to be another human world, which is really gratifying, but I don't know if those "humans" are really the same species as themselves.
Moreover, the style is also very peculiar, it looks a little Victorian, it was the pinnacle of the British Empire, the gears of the Industrial Revolution rumbled, and the clothing elements of the soldiers and pedestrians on the road also gave him this feeling.
It's just, it's just similar...... Again, there are many places where there are big differences.
Therefore, the more closely he looked at it, the more Mo Chen's brows furrowed, but soon he shook his head again, stretched his eyebrows again, and sighed.
It seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding, and the opposite side is not necessarily a world parallel to 19th-century Britain, or even whether it is a parallel world or not.
What are you struggling with here?!
He clicked delete and deleted the video recording, and then he felt uneasy and considered buying another computer instead. Now this one will not be connected to the Internet in the future, just use it to save data.
Directly physically disconnected from the network, to ensure maximum security, maybe some hackers really have the kind of rather fantasy means to be blown up, but the other party is always impossible to find a computer without an Internet connection for no reason.
"That's it for today, and we'll do the biological experiment tomorrow...... If that's ......."
Muttering, Mo Chen quickly picked up a ballpoint pen and wrote down a few key words in his notebook, and after carefully checking it, he compared the first 54-digit length "coordinate password" he recorded.
After confirming that it was correct, he let out a long exhale, then got up and walked over to the Rubik's Cube that projected a blue beam of light, reverting it back to a cube.
It's not enough to be safe yet, so he's going to buy a few poultry tomorrow to verify it.
It's like saying that a tomb robber is carrying a rooster, saying that it is to ward off evil spirits, but in fact, it is put in to test the air quality. If the chicken doesn't die after pulling it up, then the person can go down to the hole.
The principle is the same, although the method is very earthy, but it can be useful.
