Chapter 535: How Many Dimensions Does Our World Have?
"The sun?" Listening to Darren's words, there was a look of surprise on Maca's face.
"Yes, it's a big, big fireball that glows and heats up...... No, it's supposed to be called plasma balls. Darren was playing with what little knowledge he had in his head.
The astonished gazes of these natives gave him an extremely strong sense of superiority.
The halflings in the room whispered, and Maca remembered that she had heard the term in her tribe.
It seems that a long time ago, there was a sun in this world, but Maca had never seen it, but from the words of the ancestors, it had endless light and heat that could light up the vast expanse, and the light emitted was 100,000 times stronger than the fluorescence emitted by the [Blazing Mushroom] jungle!
Maca couldn't imagine what kind of power could fill the whole world with light!
Know that in this cold, dark land, light and heat are very valuable resources.
Subconsciously, Maca thought that Darren must be lying, but she couldn't help but have some expectations in her heart, because these outsiders did show more than expected abilities.
For example, they can make a fluffy food out of thin air, or these people can manipulate fire, frost, and lightning to easily defeat powerful and dangerous monsters.
The High Priest had jealously said that if the Moon Gods had not left this world, they would surely be able to do the same.
Now, of course, the High Priest has been killed for rebelling against outsiders, and his body has been turned into an ice sculpture and buried with his followers.
The remaining halflings are emotionally stable, because in this god-forsaken world, it is very obvious that the strong get everything, and the weak choose to obey.
A few years ago, when the temperature in the foreign land was not so low, there were several tribes in this area, and looting, enslavement, and fighting were common.
Maca has no reverence or belief in the moon god Diana, because since he was born, the tribe has never stopped sacrificing to the moon god, but the god has never cared about their life or death.
Perhaps, as these outsiders say, she has fallen!
Naturally, a dead god no longer has any value, and even an ethereal hope cannot provide it.
"That Speaker Lynn you were talking about...... Is he also a god? Maca couldn't help but ask, in his understanding, God is the most powerful being, the root of all miracles.
"No, he's a wizard, the most powerful wizard!" Darren corrected,
"Wizard ......" Maca recited the slightly awkward word, which was not found in the tribal language, so Darren used the lingua franca of the Eternal Continent.
Maca kept this foreign word in his heart, and in his eyes the wizard represented great power, as powerful as a god.
"Since you can make the sun, can you ......," Maca hesitated for a long time before gritting her teeth. Can you make one for us too? ”
If there was a sun in this world, everything would be fine, right?
At least they don't have to worry about light and heat.
However, the experience of surviving in a foreign land for many years has made it clear that there is no favor for nothing, but after thinking about it for a long time, she can't think of any other bargaining chips that they can come up with.
Because now the survival of the entire tribe is in the thought of the other party, theoretically including their lives are the property of the other party, and the exchange of the other party's things is a condition, Maca can't do such a thing.
"By the way, and faith! If you can help us make a sun, we will give our faith! Maca suddenly thought of this and said firmly.
Freedom of thought was the only thing they had, and since the moon god needed or liked their worship, perhaps the wizards would want it too.
Anyway, in the past, when they were successful in hunting, they would carry out routine prayers, but now it is nothing more than a different person to worship.
"Wizards don't need to believe......" Darren shook his head, rejecting Maca's offer before speaking again.
"You just need to ...... Well, just work hard, as long as you have enough merit, it is not impossible to make a sun for you......"
Darren gushed about drawing cakes to the halflings, though in his opinion it wasn't just a fool.
Before heading out for the Outlands, Darren hears that the Council is preparing to build solar furnaces in all major cities to provide a constant supply of energy.
If these halflings could really do enough feats, he didn't think the council could make a 'sun' for them!
Under Darren's constant encouragement, Maca and the others imagined what life with endless light and heat would be like, and many halflings were even more interested in the world outside Darren's time and space gate.
Compared to the dark and dead silence, the forsaken land of dangerous beasts and undead spirits, the world that Darren spoke of as vibrant, day and night, was like heaven.
While the halflings were talking, Raphael had already received a message that the personnel who had gone to the outside world to investigate had returned.
A few pitch-black demon bats flew in first, followed by alchemist Tik and a small group of halfling sentinels.
Tik's face was full of sadness, but he didn't speak, but couldn't help but look at the halfling natives gathered here.
Raphael immediately understood what he meant, and silently unfolded the realm to envelop several people, and the soundproof enchantment was completed in an instant.
It was only then that Tik spoke eagerly. "Master Raphael, the situation outside is not good right now, a large number of undead are gathering in this direction!"
"Is something happening? Could it be that our position has been exposed? Raphael's face changed slightly, even though he had a premonition that Tik would bring bad news, but he didn't expect it to be such bad news.
Yolande immediately swept his gaze to the halfling natives present.
He suspected that these people had revealed their information.
Although Raphael had the psionic wizards set forbidden magic in each of their minds after taking control of the settlement, it was obviously not safe enough, after all, their opponents were the best at playing with souls.
"No, I don't think they're here to get us."
Tik shook his head, for the undead were not directly surrounded, but were aimlessly searching the entire area, with the intention of digging into the ground.
"Could it be that the effects of our frequent opening and closing of the space-time door are being felt......" Yolande guessed.
Raphael was also thinking about this possibility, every time the space-time gate was opened, it would cause a large amount of magic to pour into another world, just like a small stream branching out of a large river, although the rate of loss was very slow, but it was indeed possible to be perceived.
"How far away are they from us now." Raphael asked solemnly.
"Less than fifty kilometers." Tik replied. "The undead are searching every possible location, and I've even seen a dragon flatten a small hill to make sure there's nothing inside."
"Four days, four days at most, and they'll find here!" Tik added.
Although the search range of those skeleton soldiers tends to expand more and more, they can't bear the sleepless sleep of these undead, and if they continue to search like this, they will be able to find this place sooner or later.
Raphael frowned and pondered for a long time, this is undoubtedly the worst possibility.
"We'll have to find a way to get them out of the way and delay as long as possible for these necromancers to find their spacetime node." Raphael said categorically.
During his stay in the foreign land, in addition to subduing this halfling settlement and instructing them to investigate information, Raphael also did a lot of things, such as arranging an alchemy circle near the space-time node in the valley to isolate sight and magic perception.
But Raphael didn't think his set-up would be able to hide the damn skeletons, and he would not hesitate to level out every place he could find.
So the only way to lure them to another place.
Since the two worlds have different rates of time, for every day they drag, they are equivalent to earning seven days!
However, it also means that they will have to deal with a vast, powerful and dangerous army of the undead.
"Anyway, let's send someone back to report the news." Raphael sighed, then looked at Yoland, Tik, Ivina, Darren and the others, and did not speak. It's about letting them choose who goes and who stays.
Returning means surviving, leaving them almost dead as they are bound to travel as far away as possible from the space-time portal, and the chances of being able to get back are slim to none.
"Ivina, you can go back and report." Tik suddenly said that she was the youngest person here and deserved the only chance of life.
However, the girl shook her head, and she was ready to sacrifice the moment she joined the Exotic Exploration Team.
The rest of the people were also silent, and a solemn atmosphere suddenly enveloped the station.
"That's up to the lottery!" Raphael finally clapped his head that this was the fairest and that there was no need to argue.
……
In the Magic Kingdom, in the newly built Magic Tower, Vittorio, who had just received information and rushed back from the north, was interrupted by a powerful news before he could report.
"What do you say? Artokta ...... Turned into a cloud of probability? Vittorio almost squirted out the tea he had just drunk, and looked at Lynn and the others incredulously, as if they were telling a ridiculous joke.
"I hate to believe it, but it seems to be true now......" Aurora shrugged her shoulders and recounted everything they had seen in the lab they had made their way to the Wizarding Lands.
A united and separated person, Vittorio couldn't really recreate such an image in his mind......
Grotesque...... This can only be described as grotesque!
"Is this still magic?" Anthony on the side was also shocked, he, like Vittorio, learned the news for the first time.
Haroff and Aurora are also thinking about this, since they began to study the microcosm, the common sense of magic has been torn to shreds, and the world seems to be becoming more and more weird.
"Actually, there's nothing strange about it, it's just a sense of disconnection from looking at the high dimension from the lower dimension." Lynn flipped through the book on elemental ghosts written by Artok and interrupted the conversation with a remark.
"Gao Wei?" Haroff and the others looked at it, and were extremely surprised by the new word that Lynn came up with.
"Not bad!" Lynn nodded. "It might be more intuitive to use the Olympiad as an Olympiad."
"For example, you can think of the zero dimension as an infinitesimal point, and the first dimension is an infinitely long straight line, and there is only one concept of length, and the second dimension is a plane, which is composed of length and width......"
As he spoke, Lynn raised his right hand, and under the surge of magic power, an undetectable dot appeared in front of everyone, and then changed from a dot to a line and then to a face......
"So the third dimension is a cube with three dimensions: length, width, and height?" Aurora understood immediately.
This is the concept of the coordinate system in the Olympiad, and each additional axis represents an additional dimension.
"What about the higher dimensions? Where does it go from? Harrov asked in confusion, with length, width, and height, where can the fourth dimension extend from.
"Could it be time?" Anthony replied suddenly.
According to Lynn, that dimension is something that cannot be seen, touched, and is omnipresent and theoretically infinitely divisible, and time can undoubtedly correspond to every point.
And it can be distorted and affected by gravity just like space......
Lynn didn't reply, he tapped the table lightly with his hand, about how many dimensions there are in the universe, what kind of state does the fourth and fifth dimensions exist, even the federal researchers in the previous life have not been able to come to an accurate conclusion, and even have great differences because of this.
For example, the famous Albert Einstein once proposed the four-dimensional space-time theory, believing that the universe is composed of time and space, and adding a time axis in addition to the structure of the three axes of length, width and height of ordinary three-dimensional space.
That is, the three-dimensional static universe and the four-dimensional dynamic universe.
However, many federal researchers do not agree with this statement, and put forward an interesting hypothesis: if there are two-dimensional beings in their current universe, and these creatures can move freely in two-dimensional space, and at the same time can sense the passage of time, will their scientists directly regard time as a third dimension?
Therefore, many people advocate separating the dimension of space from the dimension of time, and simply study the concept of dimension in mathematics and the concept of space, and the famous string theory believes that space is as much as 11 dimensions!
After seeing the state that Artok is in, Lynn also agrees more with the statement that there are more than three dimensions of space, because in addition to the time dimension, it can now be confirmed that there is indeed a fourth dimension of space!
