The situation that has developed to the present is something that Xiao Yu did not expect. In Xiao Yu's initial speculation, Xiao Yu thought that he should have passed the tests left by the Torol civilization one by one, and then was teleported out of this small universe by Intelligence One, but he didn't expect that leaving this small universe would become one of the tests.

This disrupted Xiao Yu's arrangement all of a sudden. It can be said that before entering this small universe, Xiao Yu didn't think about how to get out at all. Not only Xiao Yu, but all the rest of the scientists did not think about this problem. Everyone unanimously acquiesced that since they entered here under the control of the Torol civilization, the way out should naturally be paved by the Torol civilization.

It's good now, after saying the information, the program left by the Torol civilization very simply used the method of negative matter annihilation to kill the intelligence one, and nothing was left for Xiao Yu. In the end, Xiao Yu still has to rely on himself to find a way to get out of here.

Then in this way, it is crucial to have some clues. By connecting these clues one by one, Xiao Yu is expected to find out the truth hidden behind the curtain and leave this cage.

For example, when you haven't entered this ruin, you encounter the phenomenon of strange oscillations of the stars, such as in the process of entering, it seems to pass through a space-time tunnel......

Another meeting was held under the chairmanship of Xiao Yu. The participants of this conference are all top existences in their respective fields, and in their respective fields, if they rely solely on scientific literacy, not to mention comprehensiveness and research and development capabilities, they don't even have to be Xiao Yu.

This situation is very common, so Xiao Yu has always attached great importance to the opinions of scientists, and when he encounters a major event of life and death. Scientists are always called together for discussions.

"Before we get into that, I'm going to show you a set of data." In the spacious conference room, Xiao Yu's phantom sat there, waved his hand, and a three-dimensional image appeared in front of him, and in the center of this three-dimensional image was a star emitting a soft white light. This is undoubtedly the white dwarf.

"This is a picture we took of the white dwarf when we first came to this small universe." Xiao Yu said, sliding his finger slightly, and the picture changed slightly, "This is the photo I took of this white dwarf just now." ”

The scientists looked at each other. I don't know what Xiao Yu wants to explain.

After a pause, Xiao Yu said: "We have been in this small universe for more than a year, and there is no difference between the two white dwarf stars in just over a year?" ”

"There is no difference." Luca III, an authority on the natural sciences, thought about it carefully. Speak your own answer.

"Yes, there is no difference." Another scientist also expressed his opinion.

"Wrong." Xiao Yu shook his head. Said. "There is a difference. Although the difference is not visible to the naked eye...... Let me tell you the answer, the white dwarf in the second photo is about three percent dimmer than the white dwarf a year ago. ”

"Huh? How can it be? It's only been a year, how could such a thing happen? ”

"Is there anything weird about this white dwarf? What's going on? Scientists were talking.

It is common knowledge that the luminosity of individual white dwarfs is stable and changes unusually slowly. But what happened on this white dwarf. Breaking this perception of them.

"Do you know why?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I think it might have something to do with some of the mechanisms inside white dwarfs. You know, although a single white dwarf is a very stable thing, we have also observed the existence of white dwarf variable stars before. Probably due to an imbalance of elements within it, the explosion caused the white dwarf to brighten in luminosity, and then for more than a year. Its luminosity is returning to normal, which is why it is causing the luminosity to decrease. An astrophysic scientist specializing in white dwarfs has expressed his opinion.

"It's really an explanation, a very reasonable one. However, there are several characteristics of white dwarf variable stars, which I have not observed on any of them. Xiao Yu said, "This phenomenon may not be enough to arouse everyone's vigilance, so let's take a look at this set of pictures." ”

Xiao Yu waved his hand, and the three-dimensional image changed again, this time it was a corner of the dark universe, and the artificial sun in the distance illuminated the starry sky, and under its light, a fragment of the Torol civilization warship with a silvery-white color and about a meter long and wide appeared here.

"This is a photo from more than a year ago." Xiao Yu said, "Now let's take a look at what it looks like now." ”

The three-dimensional image changed again, and the fragment reappeared here.

"Can you see any difference between them?" Xiao Yu spread his hands and asked.

With the example of the white dwarf, this time the scientists did not rush to express their opinions, but carefully observed the fragment.

One scientist said with some uncertainty: "It seems that the material of this fragment has become a little looser. ”

"Well...... Yes, it's getting a little looser. Its rip is no longer as neat as in the previous photo. Another scientist expressed the same opinion.

"Yes, that's it." Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Everyone knows that in the cosmic vacuum, because there is no influence of the rest of the matter, the shelf life of a piece of material is very long, so long that we can't imagine it. In addition, a white dwarf star maintains its luminosity very stable, and it is impossible for an ordinary white dwarf star to reduce its luminosity by three percent in just over a year. ”

Xiao Yu paused and looked at the scientists with some solemn eyes: "Do you know what this means?" ”

The scientists sitting here are some of the most brilliant people who have been genetically modified countless times and have perverted brains. Among this group of scientists, the three Lucas are the most prominent.

Luca No. 3 was the first to grasp what Xiao Yu meant: "Time passes too fast. In just over a year, the exterior has crossed the ...... Well, let me calculate, the outside has spanned about 10 billion years. ”

"More than 10 billion years? How can it be? weishenme we don't feel it? One scientist exclaimed.

"Yes, more than 10 billion years." Xiao Yu nodded a little heavily: "Only a long time of more than 10 billion years can reduce the luminosity of a white dwarf star by three percent, and only more than 10 billion years can make these fragments loose." Time is just a virtual quantity, maybe more than a year is still more than a year, not more than 10 billion years, but there is one thing we can't deny, that is, this white dwarf, and these materials, in more than a year, have gone through more than 10 billion years of time. ”

"My guess is that it might have something to do with the universe itself. The entropy of the small universe increases faster than that of the large universe, and this speculation can now be basically confirmed. The universe outside of our spaceship is rapidly moving from order to disorder. What the Torlorian civilization says is true. In ten years, the entropy of this universe will reach its peak, time will stop completely, and we will all die. Xiao Yu said.

"No, it's not." Luca III suddenly shook his head and said, "There is a bit of a hole in this speculation. It is not scientific and illogical that an increase in entropy cannot have an effect only on external objects, and not on our fleet. ”

"It's not a loophole." Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "The increase in entropy has indeed affected us. I have a set of data for you to see...... This is the rate of energy consumption of our fleet. The conclusion is that in just over a year, our average energy consumption has exceeded 50 percent compared to before. What strikes me as strange is that this extra energy consumption doesn't seem to play any other role. To put it simply, it is to do one thing, such as maintaining the normal operation of the tachyon shield, which used to consume one part of energy, but now it consumes one or five parts of energy to achieve the goal. The increase in energy consumption weishenme, I couldn't figure it out at first, but now I think about it, probably because of the decay of this universe, which affects us. ”

"It's horrible." Luca III shook his head in shock and said, "This is not a place to stay for long. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded, "In ten years, the entropy of this small universe will reach its highest, but before the entropy reaches the highest, we will already die." So we don't have 10 years, I've done the math, and at our current rate of energy consumption, we're probably only going to have three years. If you can't complete the task in three years and can't find a way, you don't have to look for it. This will become our graveyard, forever floating in the void from the four-dimensional plane. ”

"So, for the sake of our fleet, and for your own sake, let us use your wisdom...... The details of the space weapon have been sent to your terminals, and combined with the relevant performance of the space weapon, you may wish to speculate on how to leave this small universe. ”

Many scientists are lost in thought.

Xiao Yu sighed softly and said, "Before looking for a way, I need everyone to provide me with some references. That is, what kind of existence is the small universe, what kind of related characteristics does it have, and what are the essential differences between it and the large universe......"

"These things are important." Xiao Yu said. (To be continued......)
