After hearing Zhao Lan's words, Rodriguez replied, "Of course, Miss Zhao Lan, of course you have this permission. ⊙, please come with me to my office, and I'll give you all the information I need about that strange space. ”

Zhao Lan followed Rodriguez and walked down the stands by elevator. On the way to the office, Zhao Lan once again appreciated the vastness and sophistication of this base. The countless staggered cables and countless display screens and buttons made Zhao Lan feel a little dazzled. Although Zhao Lan often conducts related scientific research and calculations, it is the first time Zhao Lan has seen such a scene.

Zhao Lan also saw a fully enclosed building that occupies a very large area compared to other buildings. Zhao Lan had already noticed this when he was in the stands. It was a box-like building about 200 meters long and wide, and more than 10 meters high, and unlike other buildings, its top was also enclosed by metal plates, and its internal structure could not be seen from anywhere. When passing by the gate of this building, Zhao Lan saw that the heavy metal plate gate was tightly closed, and there were very advanced and complex combination locks installed on it, and there was a very conspicuous text warning "No one is allowed to enter unless they are allowed".

If the existence of this base is a secret, then this cuboid building is a secret among secrets. The warning on it is clearly a warning to the personnel inside the base, which means that even the personnel inside the base probably do not have the permission to go here.

Rodriguez noticed Zhao Lan's expression, and also saw Zhao Lan's curiosity about the cuboid building. But Rodriguez only smiled faintly and didn't explain anything.

Walking all the way to Rodriguez's office, Rodriguez picked up the microphone and commanded a few words, and a moment later, a staff member delivered a thick piece of information.

"You can take your time here, it doesn't matter how long you want." "If you need any help, please ring this alarm bell and I'll be here right away." ”

"Okay. Thank you. Zhao Lan replied, and Rodriguez left the office, closing the door of the office by the way.

The office is spacious and furnished with a modern touch of technology. This office belongs to Rodriguez. And from the layout of this office, Zhao Lan can see that the owner of this office must have a very high status in this base.

"Rodriguez probably belongs to the general manager-level figure, and when Li Yunfan is not there, it is probably Rodriguez who will preside over the daily operation of the base." Zhao Lan secretly guessed, but didn't think too deeply about it. Zhao Lan didn't want to. There is no interest in knowing too much about this hidden underground. Zhao Lan is just an ordinary scientist, and in the foreseeable future, Zhao Lan has no intention of breaking his life situation.

Zhao Lan picked up the stack of materials, and the conspicuous title on the first line of information entered Zhao Lan's eyes.

Zhao Lan silently recited: "The Seventh Jupiter Scientific Expedition Logbook. ”

The document begins with an apparent space voyage, and the destination of this space voyage is clearly Jupiter. This document describes in detail the various matters of the starship from departure and journey, as well as to the arrival and return of the starship, from the latest scientific research in field exploration to the air circulation system data during the spacecraft's voyage. Zhao Lan was not interested in these details, but what this information told in general surprised Zhao Lan a little.

The government of human civilization has not yet led the manned landing of Jupiter and its satellite system6, and private expeditions to Jupiter are strictly prohibited. The founder of the base, named Li Yunfan, has conducted at least seven Jupiter 6 events, and has successfully returned home each time.

"If even an underground figure is capable of landing 6 Jupiter and its moon system...... The human government, which represents the entire human civilization and can mobilize the resources of the entire human civilization, certainly has the ability to ascend to the Jupiter system, and it is a large-scale and large number of ascending 6 operations. But human governments have not done anything about it. From this point of view...... The government is just too conservative, perhaps...... Human governments have lost the courage and interest to continue exploring space, and are only satisfied with what they have achieved so far. ”

This situation made Zhao Lan sigh a little in his heart. But Zhao Lan also didn't dwell too much on this matter. Zhao Lan flipped through these messy records and went directly to the most critical record.

This is a record made from Li Yunfan's first perspective. In this record, Li Yunfan wrote: "On the way back from the seventh expedition to Jupiter, I chose a new route that no one had ever traveled before. But in the middle of the journey. I had something very strange happening. ”

"On this return trip, I have been observing the river system number 92O917BQ1. It is a distant river system that is very far away from the Earth, at least 7 billion light-years away. This ancient river system seems to be going through a new round of stellar birth movements, which means a lot of things, so I've always been interested in it. But I don't know why. As I was about 70 million kilometers away from the orbit of Mars, I suddenly lost track of this distant river system in my telescope. ”

"The telescopic spacecraft I was traveling in relative to the Sun was 220 kilometers per second, and it was only after I continued to sail for about eight hours that the distant river system appeared again in my telescope. This makes me wonder. The fuel reserves in the Yuanwang spacecraft were still sufficient, so I controlled the spacecraft and slowly returned to the area where it was located. Sure enough, just as I expected, the distant river system disappeared from my vision once again. ”

"I piloted the Farhope spacecraft back and forth in this area, and after hundreds of attempts, I was able to approximate the length, width, and height of the area. These three figures are six million kilometers, two million kilometers, and one million and three hundred thousand kilometers. As long as I am in this area, my telescope will not be able to see the distant river system, and if I leave this area, the distant river system will reappear. ”

"I had to leave this strange area and return to Earth because of fuel restrictions with me, and then, after a few months of rest, I sailed to this place again in a spaceship. This time I have made a more detailed survey of this strange region, and have finally sketched out what it will look like, and determined that it is moving toward the inner solar system at a rate of about one kilometer per second, and if nothing else, it will approach the Earth's orbit in about four years, at which point it may overlap with the Earth, but it is not known what kind of impact it will have on the Earth. ”

This passage is followed by an image of irregular shapes, probably like clouds in the sky, long in places and short in places. Obviously, this image is the appearance of the strange space that Li Yunfan measured.

"I led a group of scientists, and with the help of my reputation in the scientific community, I enlisted some help from other scientists on the premise of ensuring that the existence of this strange space was not exposed, and then began to study the nature and origin of this strange space. I'm trying to figure out why certain distant objects can't be observed in this space. In the course of my research, I have found that in addition to the river system numbered 92O917BQ1, there are more than 300 other recorded river systems that cannot be observed in this space, and these river systems have different positions in the celestial sphere. This negates the possibility that it is due to the occlusion of interstellar dust clouds. ”

"The team I led made a lot of speculation and research, and finally came to the conclusion that the anomalous disappearance of the star has nothing to do with the star itself" and that "this phenomenon is an accidental phenomenon and has never been observed before". But that's all there is to it, and beyond that, our research has been fruitless until I accidentally measured pi in this strange space. ”

"There is no doubt that pi is a fixed value, and it does not change due to changes in the environment. No matter where you measure pi, it should be the same value. But...... The pi I measured in this space was a little bit larger than what I would normally measure. The 80 million decimal place of normal pi is two, and the 80 million decimal place of pi I measured here is not two, but three. I then measured the sum of the inner angles of the triangle and concluded that it was...... The sum of the inner angles of the triangle here should be less than 180 degrees. ”

A word immediately popped up in Zhao Lan's mind, Lobachevsky space. The situation described in Li Yunfan's information is too consistent with Lobachevsky's space, and only in Lobachevsky's space can pi be greater than π, and the sum of the inner angles of a triangle can be less than 180 degrees.

"However, Lobachevsky space is just a concept in mathematics, how can it appear in the real world......" Zhao Lan's mind was full of questions. (To be continued.) )
