Chapter 583: Another Dimension
I have been trapped for several days and nights, during which I have tried all kinds of methods, but I still haven't gotten out of this desert. What catches your eye is still the rolling sand dunes.
Ida was completely desperate and kept muttering to herself, "This is the Black Desert, we are all going to be buried here." This is the Black Desert ......"
Solomon's strength was low, and he had no temper in this situation, so he had to minimize unnecessary activities in order to conserve what little energy he had left.
Dongfang Chen sighed slightly, he could only use the last method.
He then released a clone and told it to stay where it was, acting as a beacon, leaving Solomon and Ida behind, and then flying off into the distance alone.
At each distance he flew, he released a Split Soul that remained there as a beacon. In this way, another day and night passed, and the beacons were sown dozens of kilometers, and the distance flew out was almost tens of thousands of kilometers, but the situation still did not improve.
During this period, Dongfang Chen asked Chen for help, but Chen said that it was taboo when he was in an unknown dimensional space and rashly exposed his hole cards, who knows if this space has been monitored, and things are far from being bad enough to let Chen come forward. As long as Dongfang Chen can discover the relationship between this dimensional space and the space-time of the surface world, and can find its origin and appearance, then Chen can immediately analyze the volatility value of this space.
I don't know how long it has been, on this day, he was flying dejectedly, suddenly, Dongfang Chen's heart moved, he immediately stopped flying, and looked up at the sky suspiciously.
It turned out that his nearly hundreds of split souls that served as beacons suddenly changed their positions at this moment, and they ran to the sky for some reason. And through general mapping, it was known that the beacon that was originally closest to him was suddenly shortened by hundreds of kilometers, and it was right above his head.
This discovery surprised Dongfang Chen. He immediately inquired about the various souls, and got the answer that everything was normal and that there was nothing out of the ordinary.
I'll go, strange things happen every year, and there are a lot of them this year!
He then calibrated his bearings, using all the beacon splits as a baseline and began to fly wildly in one direction, spreading the beacons as he flew.
Ten days passed, and he returned to square one, joining the first Beacon Splitter, as well as Solomon and Ada.
Seeing Dongfang Chen flying from the opposite direction from the beginning, Ida said excitedly: "Aha, boss, it's really you!"
I see, this strange space is a sphere, just like the Earth, so as long as you fly in one direction, you can return to the original point after a circle around the sphere.
Am I right?"
Dongfang Chen's face was a little unsightly, and he said in a deep voice: "No, Miss Ida, your speculation is completely wrong.
We are not on the surface of a sphere, but inside a regular polyhedron, tossing around on its inner surface all the time.
If you've seen my flight trajectory diagram, you'll understand. ”
After finishing speaking, Dongfang Chen clicked on the wrist guard a few times, and then projected a holographic image in mid-air.
The image depicts the trajectory of Dongfang Chen and all the beacon souls. According to the picture, Dongfang Chen's flight trajectory around is actually a square.
Just when Solomon and Ida looked at each other, Dongfang Chen sneered: "Hmph, the guy who made such a dimensional space in the first place couldn't have imagined that there would be a freak like me in the world."
I'll have my supplies ready in a while, and you'll be waiting for me here, even if it takes a month or a year, I'll figure it out here!"
After everything was ready, Dongfang Chen set off with twelve points of stubbornness and confidence.
That's five months. Fortunately, Solomon is a first-order evolution, and the most unhelpful Ida is also a psychic force fielder, if only the minimum consumption is maintained, the two can go without eating and drinking for a long time.
When they looked forward to the stars and the moon and the east morning, they never felt that his figure was so kind and majestic like at this moment, and directly regarded him as the absolute backbone.
Dongfang Chen brought mixed news. The good news is that by cooperating with the Split Soul, he has roughly figured out the general appearance of this extradimensional space: the regular octahedron!
For this kind of geometry, Dongfang Chen is very familiar. Because the source god of dust, as well as his own three gods, are all in this spatial structure.
The bad news is that this regular octahedral space is ridiculously large. The side length of a single triangle alone is 1 million kilometers.
In other words, each edge of this octahedron is 78 times the diameter of the Earth. At a rough count, this place can hold at least tens of thousands of earths!
Moreover, in the process of exploration, Dongfang Chen found a large number of dry bones and dried corpses of human beings from the traces buried in the yellow sand. It's no wonder that even if the adventurers who were looking for the Fanem Oasis before strayed into this extradimensional space, a triangle that they randomly appeared and stood on would cover an area of more than 400 billion square kilometers, and it would not be possible to walk such a vast desert in ten lifetimes, and it was only a matter of time before they were swallowed up by the sea of sand.
This is Dongfang Chen, the energy reserve of the heart core is extremely abundant, and although this dimensional space is isolated from most of the elemental energy, it cannot shield the stars and wind elements, so Dongfang Chen's huge consumption of flying all the way can still be replenished in time. It's really not good, there is still energy crystal.
But even so, it took five months for Dongfang Chen to roughly fly over the three adjacent faces of this regular octahedron. The conclusion of the regular octahedron was calculated by him based on the side lengths and angles of the three faces. After all, when he created his own "Source God Freedom" exercise, he had already analyzed the spatial structure of the regular octahedron very thoroughly, so he only based on the relative position between the beacon souls and the angle between the three sides, it was easy to conclude that this space in another dimension was a regular octahedron.
But he was still not satisfied, and wanted to know how big the octahedral space was, so it took him five months to accurately calculate the edge length of the octahedron.
When Solomon and Ida learned the news, they were directly stupefied. As earthlings who have not even gone out of the earth's atmosphere, it is difficult for them to imagine what the concept of space as large as tens of thousands of earths is.
Fortunately, Dongfang Chen comforted them in time: "It's okay, on a cosmic scale, this kind of space volume can only be regarded as dust."
You all know the relationship between the earth and the moon, right? Multiply the distance between the earth and the moon in a straight line by two, and then use this length as the radius to get a sphere, which is probably about the same size as this dimensional space.
Please cheer up, we have figured out the appearance and size of the dimensional space, and now the key question is, how do we get out?
Let's brainstorm ideas!"
Hearing this question of the Lord's heart, Solomon and Ida stared wide-eyed, and said in their hearts, "How do we know how to get out? Isn't that what you should worry about?"
Dongfang Chen looked at the demeanor of the two of them, and knew that it was a vain question to ask, and then he said his opinion: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it can be done?"
A regular octahedron has six vertices, each of which is where the four sides intersect. I'm going to pick a vertex and look where I can see if I can find any clues.
It's just that this time, the distance is hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and with the situation of the two, it will take at least a few months to fly over.
Alas, if only the Shaker was here. ”
Solomon was not happy when he heard this, changed his elegant and calm attitude in the past, raised his voice and said: "Commander Dongfang, although his strength is low, he has also seen strong winds and waves.
I promise you that you won't be held back when you're on your way!"
Seeing Solomon's assurance, Ida couldn't take much care of it, and was about to muster up all his strength to say the words of the pledge to mobilize, but was interrupted by Dongfang Chen waving his hand: "Stop!"
Miss Ada, forget it. I'll let the clone fly on your back in a moment.
It's decided, and when you're ready, you'll go!"
The expeditionary trio's self-rescue operation begins. Dongfang Chen took the lead, and two shadow-like split-souls humped Ida in the center, and behind Solomon's palace, he began a long journey.
In order to take care of Solomon, Dongfang Chen flew at a moderate speed, neither fast nor slow, about two thousand kilometers per hour.
For the first two days, Solomon could grit his teeth and persevere, but after a long time, he couldn't stand it anymore. The energy is sharply consumed by the non-stop high-speed flight, and it doesn't take long for it to start slowing down, indicating that it is necessary to rest and recover before continuing.
Dongfang Chen didn't have much patience to wait for him to recover, so he didn't hesitate to summon two split souls and carry Solomon on his way, no matter how embarrassed his face was.
Three months later, the group finally reached a so-called apex.
The vision can only be described by myths and legends. Heaven and earth are no longer separated from each other, like a kaleidoscope, and the yellow sand that fills the field of vision converges into a huge whirlpool storm. And at the very center of the vortex is an altar with a strange shape.
Dongfang Chen looked at the altar from afar, and after looking at it for a long time, he realized that the thing in front of him was not so much an altar as it was more like one: a balance!
