(For the sake of coherence, the two chapters were sent together)

William, the former president of the Hulse Continental Naturalist Association, is so old that his hair is gray. He was never a genius www.biquge.info, and there is hardly a single discovery or theory named after him in the glorious history of Rand's science and technology, but no one can deny his contribution to the Academy of Sciences.

It was he who watered, fertilized, pruned, and escorted this towering tree of truth, relying not only on his mediation and unimaginable patience, but also on one of the most important weapons - he was the acting lord of the Truth City appointed by the Holy Lord, and he had the aura of the Holy Lord's appoint.

Most people in the world don't know that William's official position in the Academy of Sciences has always been the acting dean, because the president of the Rand Academy of Sciences will always be the Holy Lord himself, whether he leaves temporarily or dies forever.

Today, William is like an old slave who has guarded his family business for hundreds of years and finally waited for the return of the Holy Lord.

So, when Donner walked up to him, put his arm on his shoulder, and said, "William, you're doing a great job. Even if I came in person, I might not be able to achieve today's results", William Sr's mood almost collapsed.

Donner patted him, looked up at the faces that were somewhat familiar, or completely unfamiliar, but all of them were excited, and shouted in a childlike voice:

"Don't do that, I'll have to work with you in the future!"

Some people burst into tears and laughed, while others cried more emotionally.

Donner stepped out of the middle of the Academy of Sciences and beckoned to in the distance.

It took Tidy a while to realize that the action had something to do with her, but her legs were like lead and she couldn't walk.

Donner smiled a little helplessly, and said to the side: "Richard, find someone to protect this woman, try to meet any of her requirements, wait for her to calm down, and then let her come to see me." I promised to fulfill her three requests. ”

Richard said "yes" and called Major General Sam over to give a few orders.

By the time a column of soldiers thought about Titi walking, Donner had already walked to the gangway tread of the Faymont royal shuttle.

He waved at the people, then turned and disappeared behind the swarthy hatch of the hyperspace shuttle.

......

Five days later, in the Exotic Garden on the south side of the Faymont Palace, the small courtyard remained the same.

Donner leaned back on a wicker chair and watched the holographic projections on the courtyard meadow coming simultaneously from the Academy of Sciences and the northern military forbidden area of Ovie.

In the open window of the room behind him, from time to time there was the sound of women's laughter and conversation. It's Lucia, Una and Layla, too, like six hundred years ago.

However, Layla married a battle hero in the Battle of Lante more than 400 years ago and now lives in St. Petersburg. When she saw the return of the Holy Lord on the news, she immediately came to Coennas.

She was younger than Lucia and Una, but she looked like she was thirty-four or five years old because she had given birth, but when she saw Donner, she was still excited like a child.

Donner wondered where Ruikor had gone, and how she was doing, but he never asked. Maybe subconsciously, he felt that the answer to this question would make him uncomfortable. Not every woman can wait for an illusory possibility for six centuries long. He doesn't blame Ricke, he only blames fate for playing tricks on people.

In the holographic projection, Wesley, located in the military exclusion zone north of Oviere, is showing Downer the world's first discovered superconducting material at room temperature.

It is a golden alloy with a hexagonal network structure, which was exposed from the ground after the earthquake in Falling Rock.

At the same time, in a projection from the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences, several academics were taking turns to introduce Downer to the metal's atomic signatures and the mathematical model of the crystalline holes inside it.

"So, the rand didn't form naturally, and it was with this kind of reticulated structure that the great earthquake was suppressed to a very small extent?" Donner had this speculation all along, and it was not confirmed until this time, "So, is there any research on the origin of the rand?"

Wesley sat down in an improvised metal chair in an empty warehouse and half-jokingly said, "Seriously, I'd suggest you calm down first." ”

Donner leaned deep into the recliner and adjusted his posture before saying, "Okay, let's see if you can scare me." ”

On the side of the Academy of Sciences, someone started talking about the model.

In the process of developing high-dimensional theory and technology, the Lante people have mastered the technology of superspace three-dimensional film-making, and also mastered the technology of making four-dimensional bubbles on the current three-dimensional membrane in the world.

At this point, what appeared in front of Donner was a four-dimensional bubble that was less than a millimeter directly and completely filled with the copper-3 isotope (dense copper).

The copper ball, which is less than a millimeter in diameter and weighs 14 kilograms, is supported by an electromagnetic field. The amount of electricity needed to maintain such a four-dimensional bubble is almost equivalent to the electricity demand of a small city.

In the light of an antique copper coin, the ball appears insignificant.

However, the moment the maintenance energy of the four-dimensional bubble was cut off, it suddenly swelled to the size of a football ball.

In the slow-motion replay, the whole expansion is hideous and complex, but the end result is an almost round spherical shape.

"This is the origin of our speculation of the universe. On the side of the Academy of Sciences, Austin explained.

Downer knew that he had just witnessed a dimensionality reduction process, that is, the Big Bang theory on Earth, which was not locked in the dimension, was parsed into a more intuitive theory.

"The universe has always been in the process of dimensionality reduction, the earliest dimensionality reduction was everywhere all the time, and now it occurs locally, just like a huge high-dimensional membrane, with low-dimensional holes constantly appearing, expanding, and then spreading to the entire universe ......."

"Maybe a long time ago, in this universe we live in, there were thousand-dimensional and hundred-dimensional creatures, but as the universe continues to spread and the energy density decreases, they have long been extinct......"

Donner nodded, the four-dimensional bubble dimensionality reduction process he just observed was the process of energy density reduction.

"The universe is not as flat and uniform as we think, which has been confirmed in the theory of hyperspace navigation...... Therefore, the three-dimensional membrane we live in may be a low-dimensional hole, and Rand is a four-dimensional artificial body floating on this hole. ”

Donner frowned, "Is there any experimental data to support this theory?"

Austin paused and said, "More powerful than the experimental data, Lord Dean, I will now help you receive the ...... of the triple gravity zone detection site."

Before the words fell, the holographic projection where he was located turned completely black, and suddenly lit up again, it was a huge laboratory, looking at the appearance of the internal personnel wearing chemical protective suits, it could be a biological laboratory.

"Holy Lord ......" A middle-aged man wearing a glass hood pointed to a round door and said, "Please come with me......"

Donner didn't go with him, still sitting in the chaise longue, but the holographic camera followed him all the way through the heavy stainless steel round door.

In a few moments, Donner sat up straight.

He saw a living organism!

The middle-aged man with a glass hood explained: "This is the four-dimensional life found in the giant four-dimensional cavity found in the hyperspace near our dwarf totem pole. He was supposed to be Rand's master, at least one of the original owners...... I'm going to show you the various 3D sections of it...... This four-dimensional bubble requires a lot of energy, but there is no way, as long as you put it in a pure three-dimensional environment, it will immediately shatter or burst. ”

Donner understood what he meant, that living beings could not survive in membrane space that was not their own dimension. Figuratively speaking, if the water tank is removed, the water will flow to the ground, and the three-dimensional membrane plays the same role as the water tank for the human body.

Donner looked at the vision of the four-dimensional bubble where the four-dimensional organism was located, as it slid over the three-dimensional membrane of reality. It's a more terrifying scene than any science fiction movie. He could feel himself trembling.

"It doesn't look like us. But things are a little complicated...... Holy Lord, you see this picture, we took some of its body samples and made a three-dimensional slice, and here is the interesting thing. ”

Donner stood up all at once, and he saw the unthinkable.

"Yes, when you make it three-dimensional, its DNA structure is the same as ours, at least in essence," the scientists explained. ”

Donner didn't know what it meant, but the other party quickly helped him clear his mind.

"Holy Lord, here are our speculations. ”

"These four-dimensional creatures are on the verge of extinction, and Rand may be a base for them to raise their offspring, or a Yong. They let this Yong attach to the three-dimensional membrane so that their dimensionally reduced genes can continue to continue......"

"This may be autonomous, delicate manipulation, or it may just be left unchecked, allowing the dying high-dimensional body to metamorphose in a low-dimensional environment, like a broken tail to survive, or other life forms to repair themselves. However, the life forms that they were able to store after their metamorphosis may be just single-celled or extremely simple life forms, and eventually evolve to become what we are now......"

Donner exclaimed, "You mean...... What we're seeing now is probably our ancestors?"

The glass-hooded researcher replied, "Holy Lord, at least genetically. ”

Downer asked, "Why are they making the Rand like this?"

The researcher replied, "For the sake of biodiversity, this is the best outcome of evolution." I know it sounds like, but Holy Lord, I think Rand really is a bit like a biology lab, and we might be the product of this lab...... As for the knight's vindictiveness, it may be a radiation leak from the inside of the laboratory, or it may be intentionally made like this. ”

Donner reclined back in his chair, a little breathless at the sudden acceptance of this information.

On the other hand, the researcher may not be able to see Donner, still explaining:

"So far, we have only found such a four-dimensional creature, so we call it the 'Grave Keeper', and some people call it the 'Archaeopteryx'......"

"Holy Lord, the magic net may have devoured a tomb like Rand, because we feel that the light magic is very much like a creation that has developed to an extremely high level of biotechnology, and the situation of this tomb meets this condition. ”

The world that was clear in Donner's mind became blurred again. It seems that in addition to the god of light and the factory owner, there is another force.

He wondered if this tomb would be the cemetery of the Bright God civilization. Or maybe he's really a third party.

He felt that the four-dimensional creature in front of him should be the ancestor in the mouth of the dwarves, and this ancestor had predicted his arrival - a person who could learn the blue fighting spirit.

The silver iris that repeatedly attracted his soul to his side may have been left by this master. But what exactly does it want to say to itself? When did it die? What did it die of? Is it just old age? With their level of civilization, will it still die of old age?

I don't know when, the signal was picked up back to the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences.

Fellow Ethan took over the commentary.

"Holy Lord, the reincarnation technique originated from a high-dimensional instrument found next to the grave keeper......"

Donner was immediately attracted and exclaimed, "What instrument?"

Ethan said: "It is a higher-dimensional reincarnation instrument, far more complex than the technology we use now, and we have been reverse-engineering it for more than 160 years to master the current reincarnation technology. ”

At this point, Donner was able to conclude that the silver iris must be related to the reincarnation instrument, and it was very likely that it was part of it!

So, why was it made in the shape of an irise?

Donner suddenly interrupted Ethan's words, got up and said solemnly, "Can anyone tell me!

There was obviously some confusion at the end of the Academy of Sciences, Ethan stepped back, and a bachelor with an information terminal in his hand walked over.

"Holy Lord...... The seven iris stars are not together, they were separated by tens of thousands of light years before, but from our point of view, they just form an iris shape......"

Don't you think it's strange that Rand's axis of rotation has been facing these seven stars for thousands of years?

The scholar was reprimanded and flustered, "Yes, yes, Holy Lord, you are right, this situation is indeed a bit strange. Recent...... The nearest star is 63,800 light-years away. ”

Donner closed his eyes, and an imaginary vision came to mind.

More than 10,000 years ago, a high-dimensional creature that could change its image at any time, in front of the dwarves still wearing grass skirts, took out the silver irise, or picked a real irise, and then pointed out to them the seven brightest stars in the sky due north.

I've been looking for the answer, but I've been getting it shortly after I got out of Lant Island!

He asked Wesley what the fleur-de-lis symbol represented.

Wesley said, it's the seven iris stars due north in the night sky!

What and where awaits you? Is it the hope of liberation? or is it an even bigger trap?!

Downer stood up.

"Tell me! With Rand's current level of technology, how long will it take to fly to the nearest star?!"

He got the answer right away.

"170,000 years......," someone replied on the hologram side.
