The immortal who travels the world

Chapter 1220 Slow
Sophon doesn't find it strange that the energy response decays, since there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine.

The strange thing is that the speed of this energy decay is a bit too fast.

If the energy contained in this pale giant dragon is regarded as a star, then after nearly four hours of flight, the remaining energy is only about one-fifth of the original energy.

This may not sound outrageous, but don't forget how huge the original volume is.

Unless it is directly blown up, otherwise, a mere few hours of flying at the speed of light, to be honest, this consumption is considered to be flattering in front of the star-level body.

Taking the sun as an example, it consumes 420 million tons of matter per second, and it has lasted for more than 46 billion years. Even so, it is not a serious injury.

This is the horror of stellar.

Although the number of stars in the universe is more than the yellow sand in the desert, this does not mean that the stars are weak, at most it only shows the vastness of the universe.

Having said that, this kind of attenuation that is completely inconsistent with the law of energy conservation is a completely incomprehensible phenomenon for any civilization in this universe.

But because of this, for the Trisolaran civilization, which observed this change, it inexplicably has a little more confidence in solving the "Rubik's Cube" incident.

After a four-hour interstellar trek, the pale dragon finally skimmed over Neptune and quickly approached the Rubik's Cube.

The distance between the two is even less than one astronomical unit.

The distance of one astronomical unit is only a few minutes in front of the speed of light.

Does that sound unreal?
Let's put it this way, an ordinary person, traveling 24 hours a day without sleep, needs more than 3000 years to complete the journey of one astronomical unit.

Without relying on external objects, human beings would not be able to cross such a long distance in a lifetime.

Perhaps this is what technology is all about.

The pale dragon still maintains the speed of light, and even though the "Rubik's Cube" has slowed down, the distance between the two is getting closer at a faster speed when they are heading towards each other.

It is worth mentioning that, although most of the energy of this pale dragon has been attenuated, its volume has not changed significantly.

In front of the pale fire pillar with a diameter of more than [-] meters and a length of nearly one kilometer, the "magic cube" with a length and width of less than half a meter is really not very eye-catching.

Relying on his own ability to reach the speed of light, and in order to obtain more accurate information, Sophon followed closely behind the pale dragon, waiting for the impending collision.

When the distance to the pale giant dragon was reduced to less than half an astronomical unit.

"Magic Cube" seems to be belatedly aware of the crisis.

There was an apparent slight turn, as if to avoid the collision.

It's a pity that the reaction speed is obviously too slow.

Just had time to turn around, and before he could increase his speed, he was covered by pale flames surging like a tide.

Under the washing of huge energy, people can't see the existence of the "Rubik's Cube" for a while.

In fact, before this, the Three-Body Civilization had already observed the situation of the "Rubik's Cube" through Sophon.

The Trisolarans know that there is a layer of twisted force field outside the "Rubik's Cube", and it is because of this force field that Sophon cannot enter the inside of the "Rubik's Cube".

According to Trisolaran's speculation, that dense distortion is most likely a special encapsulating force field, whose function is to separate the internal high-dimensional space from the surrounding three-dimensional space.

This is a very reasonable guess.

In fact, if there is no such technical means, even if a high-dimensional object is created, it will be assimilated quickly and fall into a three-dimensional object.

After all, in the three-dimensional world, objects in four or more dimensions are simply not allowed to appear.

It's like a stone, it's impossible to float on the water, you have to do something.

……

The council hall of the PDCC headquarters building.

Although the Three-Body Civilization is already preparing to run away if it can't deal with it, since it promised to share information, it won't hide anything at this time.

Before the pale giant dragon sent out by Lu Yan was about to hit the "Rubik's Cube", he had already explained the situation to everyone present through Sophon's quantum communication method.

The subtitles formed by Sophon are displayed in the retinas of everyone present.

Sophon will transmit the situation observed on the spot back to Trisolaran civilization, and then Trisolaran civilization will synchronize the general situation to Sophon on Earth.

It's like having a text broadcast.

【Hit! 】

[Repeat, the "Magic Cube" has been hit! 】

[Currently the results cannot be judged, and follow-up observations are underway. 】

Seeing such dry subtitles, the representatives of these countries present were burning with anxiety.

If possible, they hope to have a picture transmission, even if there is only a 90p resolution, it will be better than now.

Compared with the anxious representatives of various countries around him, Lu Yan, who was the instigator, looked indifferent.

It is true that deliberately restricting himself to the situation of ordinary people, it is impossible for him to know what is happening at a distance of tens of astronomical units.

But in the final analysis, in his eyes, this action was just a temptation.

It's best if it can be done, and it doesn't hurt if it doesn't.

He only needs to know the final result is enough.

……

It's a rather bizarre picture.

In the universe less than two AU from Neptune.

A huge pale flame seemed to have life, surging back and forth in the silent and dark environment.

And in the center of this pale flame, there is a long object suspended.

The inside of this strip-shaped object seems to be transparent. If there is no outer layer of encapsulating force field, it will even make people suspect that it is an inconspicuous mass of air.

The flame and the object seem to have nothing to do with each other and do not affect each other.

It's just moving towards Neptune at a speed less than one-tenth of the speed of light, and this speed, under the limitation of space rules, shows that the situation is getting slower and slower.

Such a result was actually somewhat beyond Lu Yan's expectations.

But if you think about it carefully, this situation is not unacceptable.

What needs to be made clear is that low-dimensionality itself means vulnerability in the face of high-dimensionality.

It's like an unfolded piece of paper, without any defensive ability to speak of.

Even though the attack launched by Lu Yan contained energy comparable to that of a star, it was still in the three-dimensional category in essence.

If it weren't for the excessive rules mixed in it, it probably wouldn't even be able to slow down the movement speed of the "Rubik's Cube".
