was away from home for almost three months, so that Ye Ming couldn't be truly clean even in the cold winter.

Here he hadn't discussed with Ita why the construction error of the Tianhuan project was abnormal, and after a while, the old man Huo Laien came to the door in person.

Today's old man is over seventy years old, and his hair has become full of silver threads, but his spirit is as good as ever, and there is no sign of age spots on his face. This means that the anti-aging project of human beings has indeed begun to bear fruit.

"Professor, it's snowing so much." Ye Ming invited Professor Huo Laien into the reception room downstairs and personally made him a cup of coffee.

"What is this bit of snow, I've seen a bigger one - have you ever been to the Northeast?"

"Nope."

"I've been there, and it's called snow in the Northeast." Old Man Huo was also not polite, took off his coat and put it on the back of an empty chair close to the heater, holding coffee, and looked at Ye Ming with burning eyes: "In the past few years, I have been thinking about a question, will we go the wrong way." ”

Ye Ming was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”

As the two most accomplished bigwigs of the Academy of Physics, Professor Ye Ming and Professor Huo Laien have led many research groups, and their work is also very complex, involving quite a lot of fields, but there is only one field in which the two of them have really cooperated and lasted for more than ten years, that is, the complete coordinates of building a multidimensional space.

Once this coordinate is fully composed, humans can easily "traverse" between the different dimensions.

The problem now is that although human beings have mastered the method of moving from the three-dimensional world to the four-dimensional world, there is no way to return from the four-dimensional world to the three-dimensional space.

To this end, Ye Ming and Mr. Huo started to build various tools and theories as early as more than ten years ago, trying to improve the coordinate system conversion project of this multi-dimensional space. It's just that until now, progress has been very slow.

"We have always tried to construct theory first, and then use theory to guide practice."

Ye Ming nodded, this is a common method in the physics community in the past hundred years.

"But the most powerful tool we have now is not the theoretical mind." Old Man Huo pointed to his white-haired head: "It's engineering power." ”

After a pause, he pointed at Ye Ming again: "Okay, your head has to be smarter, but you can't use all your energy." ”

Hearing this, Ye Ming coughed lightly and became embarrassed: "Old man, is there still a possibility, we are too anxious?" ”

Ye Ming is telling the truth, although he has the help of the "system", but he has been with the system for more than 20 years, and he has already touched the skills of the system - he must admit that the system is indeed a powerful knowledge base, and at the same time has a strong logic, but in the same way, the system is still a system after all.

Essentially, the system is to elevate human technology by enlightening him with various knowledge systems.

The most important point - this promotion is capped.

And there is no limit to human imagination, or vision!

For example, the theory of constructing the perfect coordinates of a multidimensional space is beyond the capabilities of the system.

In the past, Ye Ming still felt that it might be because his level was too low, which caused him to be unable to obtain more advanced hints, but now, ...... His theory is already level nine, and his experience points will soon reach level 10, and the project has reached level ten - when he reached level ten, because he didn't have any special feedback, he just gave a large number of exchange points that Ye Ming didn't need now, so that Ye Ming didn't take it seriously at all.

At such a high level, Ye Ming still couldn't get more help from the system about the complete coordinates of multidimensional space.

It can only be said that the theory exceeds the upper limit of the system.

Either the system has set permissions to believe that humans can't, or don't deserve to, that height.

Therefore, Ye Ming was not very anxious about the matter of building complete coordinates.

As long as human beings can continue to reproduce, one day they will recognize the essence of multidimensional space and become the supreme civilization.

"I must admit, I'm a little anxious, but listen to me." Professor Hollyon said in a deep voice: "Let's take a different approach and start with engineering. ”

"How do I get started?"

"Can we try to enter the two-dimensional space?" Professor Huo Laien stared at Ye Ming deadly: "From the third dimension, from the second dimension, after obtaining the data, summarize the experience and parameters, and then apply it to the four-dimensional space." ”

Ye Ming was stunned, a moment later, a moment later, his body instantly sat upright: "Entering the two-dimensional, at present, we are using two-dimensional technology, and there is no way to take it out - even if it can be taken out, it can no longer be restored to a three-dimensional material form, and the only thing that can be transmitted across dimensions is information and energy." ”

"So, what if we build an incredibly powerful force field to maintain form?"

"You're referring to the use of the Spatial Membrane Shield on matter to be placed in two-dimensional space?"

"It doesn't have to be a space membrane, as long as it's a strong force field, and the gravitational field is of course the best." Professor Huo Laien glanced left and right as he spoke, got up and found Zhang Xiaoxi's drawing paper and put it on the table, and then he touched it in his pocket a few times, took out a melon seed, and finally put the melon seed on the paper.

"The melon seed is the carrier, and the paper is the two-dimensional space surface."

Ye Ming stared at the melon seeds and paper, his brows furrowed slightly.

He understood what Professor Hollyon meant.

Normally, once the melon seed comes into contact with the two-dimensional surface, it will enter the two-dimensional process, which cannot be reversed.

Now Mr. Huo's idea is to let the melon seeds avoid two-dimensionality, keep their intact form into the inside of the paper, and then come out.

Since this is a three-dimensional operation for two, humans can easily observe all phenomena and obtain all parameters from a "high-dimensional" perspective.

After thinking for a long time in silence, Ye Ming nodded slowly.

"You can give it a try."

"If it succeeds, then we can at least obtain the coordinate parameters of two-dimensional space!" Old man Horryen's eyes were shining: "As long as the multi-dimensional space is reasonable, it can be used to deduce the ...... of three or four dimensions, four or five dimensions, five or six dimensions."

"Okay, then let's make a report and see where to experiment."

"It's better to find a big two-dimensional face."

Ye Ming: "...... At present, the largest 2D space constraint is still under construction, and there are some minor anomalies. ”

Professor Horrien was stunned: "What anomaly?" ”

Ye Ming described the problems found by Peng Xiaofei to Old Man Huo one by one, and in order to prevent Old Man Huo from thinking that this was a big fuss, he also called up the final data error reports of all the projects that Aita was responsible for in the past, forming a complete linear trend for the old man to see.

In this comparison, the error found by Peng Xiaofei this time is indeed much more "inaccurate".

So Professor Horian also discussed with Ye Ming, but the two of them assumed for a long time, and in the end they couldn't come up with a convincing enough reason - after ruling out the problem with Aita, the biggest possibility is that Jupiter's gravity may have quietly changed.

Fortunately, the impact is not big now, or almost nothing, so Ye Ming plans to let the construction party continue to observe the gravity of Jupiter for a long time, and at the same time focus on the activities of Jupiter to see if there are any subtle changes in Jupiter's interior.

And then...... As soon as he sent off Old Man Huo Laien, Ye Ming heard Zhou Xiangnan's exaggerated praise for Ye Xiaoxi outside......

Well, it looks like he can't be clean today.

……

A week later, Ye Ming, who was extremely interested in the Tianhuan project, still went to Jupiter and witnessed the smooth closure of the first phase of the project.

When he saw that the entire Tianhuan lit up with blue test lights in turn, Peng Xiaofei, the commander who was standing next to Ye Ming, took a long breath and turned to look at Ye Ming: "Fortunately, I am fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

"Brother Xiaofei, it's hard work." Ye Ming smiled and pinched Peng Xiaofei's shoulder hard: "I'll invite you to dinner when I go back to Earth." ”

"Well, yes—but who's cooking?"

"You can't count on me, can you?"

"No, I mean, Aita or Ita?" Peng Xiaofei raised his eyebrows at Ye Ming: "Their craftsmanship is different. ”

Ye Ming: "...... Ita is busy, or Aita. ”

"Okay, that'll do." Peng Xiaofei laughed: "By the way, Jupiter is okay here, right?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be at the moment, after all, with such a big size, it's normal for any fluctuations." Ye Ming turned his head to look outside the gunwale—outside the window was the huge shadow of Jupiter, as if he was about to be sucked by it after one more look.

Peng Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can rest assured, in the next two and three phases of the project, I can stay on the moon and command remotely." ”

Ye Ming glanced at Peng Xiaofei and shook his head with a smile.

Compared with the memory, Peng Xiaofei, who is now just 40 years old, seems to be a little taller.

Of course, this is not that Peng Xiaofei has grown in reverse, and he will grow longer when he reaches middle age, but that he has been in a low-gravity environment for a long time - whether it is the moon, the space dock, or the current Tianhuan Engineering Headquarters, for higher efficiency and comfort, the gravity generated is only about 80% of the earth's - which makes his bones permanently extended.

Well...... It's also a long one in disguise.

The consequence of this is that after Peng Xiaofei returns to Earth, he will be exhausted...... It's not comfortable anywhere.

This can be regarded as an "occupational disease" of space workers who have been in space for many years.

Walking out of the command center, Ye Ming met and chatted with a group of engineers and took a group photo, and went through a lot of processes, until after the celebration banquet, he was able to have the opportunity to sit alone in the office with Peng Xiaofei and chat for a while, reminiscing about the past.

It's just that, judging from Peng Xiaofei's concerns, he didn't have the heart to meet Ye Ming's needs, but especially wanted to take out a little gossip about the empire and the war from Ye Ming's mouth.

Regarding this, Ye Ming also revealed some so-called inside information to Peng Xiaofei on the premise of abiding by the confidentiality regulations, such as the fact that the empire is now in chaos, there are rebellions everywhere in its ruling area, pirates and other things are also flourishing, plus the human side has connected two galaxies, which makes the empire anxious, and the conditions proposed by the human race may be fully agreed.

"What about the captives?"

"What captive?"

"It's those Imperial captives...... By the way, I haven't really seen what the Imperials look like. Peng Xiaofei squinted slightly, with a curious expression: "I heard that they look like cockroaches?" ”

Ye Ming was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Who told you?" ”

"All kinds of self-media say so, calling them cockroach people...... Or is it Ant-Man?"

Ye Ming was full of black lines: "Nonsense, the Imperial people and our facial features are actually quite similar, but the proportions are different, and there are indeed pairs of tentacles on the top of the head...... But the gap with cockroaches is too big. ”

"When can you bring it to see?"

"......" Ye Ming was speechless for a while, and at this moment, his wrist buzzed, and after raising his wrist to take a look, he smiled and said, "I'll show you now." ”

"See what?"

"Look at the Imperials."

After finishing speaking, Ye Ming looked up at the ceiling and asked Aita to connect to the communication.

The light curtain lowered, and after a burst of noise flickered, Liana's figure appeared in the light curtain.

Now she has also changed into a human attire, and even the small suit is tailor-made at a glance, especially close-fitting, showing the slenderness of her figure.

Peng Xiaofei's eyes immediately widened, and he silently let out a "" opposite Ye Ming.

Ye Ming smiled slightly, waved his hand at the light curtain, signaled Peng Xiaofei not to make trouble, and said hello to Liana.

- Two months ago, after witnessing the one-sided war, Liana put aside her desire to be a teacher at Union College and stayed with Hale at Base 31 on Ella to act as a liaison between the Empire and humanity.

Therefore, for the past two months, she has been responsible for conveying the dialogue and exchange between the two sides.

It sounds a little strange - an Imperial "Quasi-Prophet", the standard hierarchy of Imperial rulers, communicates the enemy's communication with the home planet in an absolutely neutral capacity.

But Liana really did just that, and she did it well, quite competently.

"Hello, Teacher Anna." Ye Ming greeted with a smile.

"Hello Academician Ye, I want to convey to you the final attitude of the Prophet Academy." In the light curtain, Liana paused, and then added: "I have already conveyed it to Director Xia of the Foreign Affairs Office, but since the Chief Prophet wants me to convey it to you personally, I have contacted you. ”

Ye Ming nodded slightly: "You say." ”

"The House of the Prophets considers that if the Empire is to choose peace......"

Ye Ming frowned slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If I understand correctly, is it to lay down your weapons and accept the change?" ”

"If it is according to human terms, it is conditional surrender." Liana was expressionless.

Ye Ming nodded with a smile and motioned for Liana to continue.

"The Empire needs to share all of humanity's scientific theories and technologies—a necessary prerequisite for your access to the Promised Land."

After finishing speaking, Liana folded her hands in front of her and waited quietly for Ye Ming.

Ye Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly.

This means that he knows.
