From black technology to super engineering

Ye Ming's nervousness was naturally not because of worry, but because of excitement.

Strange matter...in the beginning, it only referred to stable quark matter. Later, as the boundaries of science continued to expand, its meaning continued to be magnified. Especially now, after the explosion of dimension theory, strange matter has become multi-dimensional. Synonymous with a hypothetical substance of a different dimension.

But in a strict sense, the scientific community is still very restrained, especially after obtaining some information on the "Slanzi Matter" of the Canglan Planet, the human scientific community began to formally define "Slanzi Matter" as a strange substance .

As for what its essence is, the Canglan Star people have not given an accurate answer. At present, the Canglan Star people have only two fields of use of the "Slanzi Matter Matter". One is to change the curvature of the outer space of the spacecraft. , The second is to use slow-release technology to obtain energy.

This is in line with Ye Ming's assumption that this thing may belong to high-dimensional space matter.

But what exactly is it, and what can be done other than the use of the Canglan Star people... Further research is needed-this is one of the reasons why the Canglan Star people finally agreed to provide strange substances to humans, after all , if humans develop new uses, they will share the results with them.

The transport ship carrying the car lifted off slowly and then accelerated, and it didn't take long to reach the Earth-Moon L4 Lagrangian point.

The L4 Lagrangian point is located on the "side" of the Earth-Moon system, exactly one Earth-Moon distance from the Earth, 384,000 kilometers.

Before, the space observatory turned into a construction command and dispatch center of the space dock due to the arrival of the crisis, and space researchers simply occupied a spaceship—to be precise, they "occupied" the Yaoyue, And stopped at the L4 Lagrange point for a long time.

Usually, the space observatory stops at L4 to observe and do experiments, and when it needs supplies and rest, it directly descends to the moon base... In short, one word is highlighted, leisurely.

However, the group of people engaged in astronomy are still unwilling to be so "inactive" after all. Under the absence of the country's time to take care of it, the scientists of the observatory have shown their talents, soliciting sponsorship from all over the world, and Ye Ming's intentional or unintentional help Well, the group of them actually built a small experimental base in L4—all kinds of instruments and equipment, all of which were searched everywhere.

As the transport ship arrived at the location, the Yaoyue also activated its attitude engine and left this place temporarily, leaving only a crude steel structure experiment center.

Of course, the center cannot bring people.

At this time, Professor Li Lei's voice sounded in the hall: "Mr. Ye, we have already given up our position, and the communication of various instruments and equipment has been offline, you can take over directly."

"Well, thank you." Ye Ming smiled and helped the microphone: "I'll be waiting for you at the command center of the space dock."

"Then..." Li Lei's aggrieved voice sounded in the hall: "That was originally our territory!"

"Hahaha! Yes, yes, I will repair a bigger one for you in the future!"

The call was hung up, and there were bursts of laughter in the hall.

Not long after, the transport ship stopped firmly at the position where the Yaoyue stopped before, and then the hatch opened.

The car that had been installed with the attitude engine slowly drifted out of the cabin door.

Ye Ming exhaled softly, squeezed the microphone, and said in a deep voice: "Aita, activate the high-dimensional detectors, activate all microwave detectors in the world, activate electromagnetic wave detectors in all frequency bands of L4, and activate the ground gravitational wave detectors LIGO and VIRGO , KAGRA, GEO800..."

"Starting neutrino detector Super K, IceCube, Sudbury, Jiangmen."

"Activate the dark matter detector..."

"Received, starting task execution..."

With Aita's voice, all advanced detectors from various countries around the world started simultaneously at this moment.

The eyes of all science are all focused on the L4 earth-moon Lagrangian point.

Time passed by, and when all the observation equipment was fully ready, Ye Ming took a deep breath: "Open the box!"

The voice fell, and the car slowly opened. Immediately afterwards, the lights in the car rose, and the camera projected the internal environment on the big screen with great attention.

There are a total of six golden one-meter-square cargo boxes, each of which is marked with Arabic numerals in order.

"Open box one."

"Got it, open box one."

Aita's voice fell, and in the car, a mechanical arm slowly fell, and then landed precisely on the No. 1 cargo box.

After silently entering the password, the golden cargo box vibrated slightly. Immediately afterwards, the mechanical arm used the gentlest movement to slowly open the four sides of the cargo box.

Ye Ming gritted his teeth lightly, then held his breath.

There was silence throughout the hall.

Shock and excitement were in everyone's eyes - yes, it was beautiful.

It is like a gem that cannot be described in words, floating above the force field generator out of thin air, releasing a dreamy light.

Those dense rays of light make it a "burning" gemstone, just like the flame is constantly beating, as if it is alive.

However, he was trapped in the space due to the constraints of the force field and could not break free.

In the silence, footsteps sounded softly.

After a while, a palm fell gently on Ye Ming's shoulder.

Ye Ming turned his head and saw Professor Huo Laien looking at him.

"It can be released."

"Yeah!" Ye Ming took a deep breath, then his eyes flashed, and he squeezed the microphone and said in a deep voice: "Engineering robot, ready to release."

Following his command, two engineering robots flew out of the transport plane, and then flew into the car.

Immediately afterwards, two robots carefully moved the jewel and its base out of the car.

"freed!"

The robot presses the control switch on the base.

next second...

Without any warning, the entire space turned into darkness.

There was nothing on the base.

The extremely beautiful and strange substance disappeared before the eyes of human beings.

The hall was quiet again, and at the same time, there were low voices of regret and sighs.

Even Ye Ming, after seeing such a beautiful substance disappear immediately, there was deep regret in his eyes.

However, he quickly looked to the side of the big screen.

He didn't do it for "freeing life"!

He's here for the direct unconstraint experiment!

At this moment, Aita's voice sounded.

"Weibo signal detected, strength 13."

"Gravitational wave signal detected..."

"Curvature change detected..."

"Neutrino detected..."

Looking at the data that jumped out densely on the screen, Ye Ming clenched his fists instantly.

After a while, he turned to look at Professor Horien, who extended his hand, and the two clapped hands!

...

Ten minutes later, Ye Ming appeared in the meeting room next door.

"Okay, let's make a simple summary."

Before Ye Ming was seated, he started the meeting straightforwardly: "First of all, we can be sure that strange matter disappears through space dissipation."

"Everyone look at the image here."

Ye Ming mentioned the playback of the ultra-high-speed camera, and took a sip from the water glass: "The speed of dissipation is very fast, and there are no energy fluctuations around, and there is no black hole that we are worried about, which will swallow up the space. Phenomenon."

"What does this mean? It means that it has been directly interdimensional."

"Here is the data of the detector, and no electromagnetic waves were detected—it didn't even affect the two engineering robots."

At this moment, a scientist from Ni Country raised his hand and said, "But it released neutrinos..."

"Yes, a neutrino was released, but that doesn't affect our judgment of its nature."

Ye Ming said and looked at everyone, especially at Professor Huo Laien: "I still stick to my previous guess that it is a substance from the high-dimensional world, so it has a natural space regression."

"In space regression, it will release neutrinos and change the curvature of space at the same time—you see, the curvature value is quite a limit."

"From this, we can infer that when it returns to space, it is completed in the form of inward collapse, or in other words - this can also be seen from the slow-release technology of the Canglan Star people. It has been verified that the Canglan Star people use it as a long-term energy source. Well... a controllable short-distance strong gravitational source can indeed be used as a power source."

"So, what can we do?" Ye Ming looked at the others with burning eyes: "It can't be used as energy, right?"

Everyone laughed together.

"The main problem now is to figure out how to obtain it besides brain technology?" Professor Hollyn said with a smile: "And, if it is really a high-dimensional substance...then isn't it? Can we put it in a high-dimensional space for experiments?"

Ye Ming nodded, but immediately asked back: "Well, yes, but the observation angle of high-dimensional space is limited, how to solve this problem?"

"You have to make me think..."

"Haha, don't worry." Ye Ming supported the table with both hands, and glanced at the others one by one: "And I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"That is, how many dimensions does it come from?" Ye Ming gently tapped the table: "Fourth dimension? Five dimension? Six dimension?"

"It is regressive when it is directly exposed in three-dimensional space, so can we use a technology similar to two-dimensional unfolding...to also perform low-dimensional unfolding on it? After unfolding, will it return to disappear directly?"

"Then, what does it look like when it unfolds?"

Ye Ming's eyes sparkled: "Three-dimensional expanded into two-dimensional, it has an unimaginable spatial scale. If it is a material in a high-dimensional space, how big is it after expanded?"

Following Ye Ming's voice, everyone looked at each other, stunned and speechless.

Good guy! If it is really according to the current dimension theory, if this thing is a five-dimensional or six-dimensional substance... wouldn't it be able to hold the entire universe after unfolding?

A voice obviously took a breath: "Isn't this an infinite gem?"

Ye Ming smiled slightly: "Whether it is an infinite gem or something, how to use it is the main topic and direction of our future research!"

"And only when we understand where it comes from, can we come up with a way to 'catch' it!"

...

After the meeting, Ye Ming quickly returned to his office.

He needs to think about it now, and have a serious discussion with Ita at the same time.

However, just as he summoned Ita, Uda's communication request came.

As a last resort, Ye Ming had no choice but to temporarily hold back his excitement and connect to Wuda's signal.

"Did you receive the goods?" In the video, Uda had a smile on his face.

"I've already opened one." Ye Ming looked at the other party. He knew that this guy might be a little "asking for credit", and wanted to put on an attitude of "it's all trivial", but his mood really couldn't be deceived, so he just smiled and said :"Thanks."

"You're welcome, only you can do this kind of experiment. Our dimensional wave detector is not accurate enough, and it's related to the brain... It would be shameful to waste it."

"...Actually, scientific research is wasted in many cases." Ye Ming sighed a little, and then said seriously: "But it is not in vain. Through various observations, we can determine its spatial regression, and it is still through self- It can be completed in the form of collapse, so it can be determined that it should come from a high-dimensional space."

"Hmm..." Uda hummed lightly, "Actually, we have always had this kind of speculation."

"So you haven't thought about developing other uses? For example, dimension reduction and deployment?" Ye Ming looked at each other curiously.

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Wu Da immediately looked at Ye Ming, with an expression on his face that he didn't know how to describe.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ming asked.

"It's nothing..." Uda Dalisi was silent for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

He has not been dealing with Ye Ming for a day or two, but for two years!

He knows too well... Ye Ming, a man... Sometimes he really doesn't care about other people's thoughts and actual situation.

For example... Dimensionality reduction expansion.

What is dimension reduction expansion? How to reduce dimensionality?

Human beings can...doesn't mean that Saint Stars can!

"By the way, there is one more thing." Wu Da changed the topic. Although he really wanted to talk more about the properties of strange substances with Ye Ming, but now Ye Ming is obviously brainstorming, and there is nothing to talk about. , might as well talk about business.

"What's up?"

"We received messages from the pirates and established communication with them."

Wu Da looked at Ye Ming quietly until the latter's face showed surprise again.

"Then what?"

"Then, they need your long-distance communication technology."

Ye Ming was startled for a moment, then raised his brows!

"Wait! What do they need our long-distance communication technology? Then, who are they?"

"They are, a civilization called Tara, located in the SVC-28 galaxy." Wuda looked at Ye Ming and said in a deep voice: "They are in the process of rapid interstellar colonization and expansion. The only difficulty hindering their expansion pace , is instant long-distance communication technology.”

Staring at Uda, Ye Ming's eyebrows gradually relaxed.

He felt that he suddenly couldn't understand Uda—this young scientist was so innocent at the time, he could even talk about technology with himself for three days and three nights without sleep.

But now... I don't know if it's an illusion or what, he always feels that the technical aura on Wu Da has faded.

Of course, he didn't think Uda was lying.

After all, long-distance communication is indeed the basis for an interstellar civilization to expand beyond tens of millions of light-years.

But no matter what he thinks, no matter how he feels, it means that Uda is deliberately dragging humans into the water - turning the matter of his own race into the matter of human beings.
