From black technology to super engineering

After one hour.

The two-dimensional space membrane was equipped with a strong constraining field and was rushed away from the super accelerator, and then... the experiment was declared aborted.

The researchers who walked out of the security hall did not have too many emotions, nor did they discuss much. They just returned to their posts quietly, summarizing and analyzing the experiments and data that had been conducted.

On the surface, it seems that this experiment, designed and directed by Academician Ye Ming himself, has been completed.

Of course, the completion of the experiment does not mean success.

But...everyone's eyes are more or less filled with excitement and enthusiasm that they don't know how to describe.

…

Not long after Ye Ming returned to the office, Director Niu called directly.

"What's going on over there at the accelerator laboratory?"

Ye Ming interrupted the communication with Ita in his mind. Looking at Director Niu's expression of thirsty for knowledge in the video, he smiled slightly: "Are you still interested in this?"

"Nonsense... If you do this once, you'll lose your nine-digit number... And the bosses are also very curious about your experiment - how many years has it been since you personally conducted an experiment?"

Ye Ming thought for a while and gave a vague number: "Three to five years?"

"Hmm - so, what exactly is going on? I heard it was temporarily suspended?"

Ye Ming pursed his lips, nodded slowly after being silent for a few seconds.

"Is it dangerous? Or are the current discoveries sufficient to support your theory, or are there other reasons?"

Ye Ming shook his head, pondered, organized his words, and then said slowly: "Let's put it this way... the original five-step experiment, in the fourth step, the results exceeded our expectations."

"According to the original experimental design, after we knock a high-dimensional atom into the constraint field of the two-dimensional space membrane, its state will not change. In other words, it is still a high-dimensional atom - of course, there is no theoretical support for this. , but we infer based on the experience of three-dimensional space. Therefore, any situation is possible."

Director Niu hummed and motioned for Ye Ming to continue.

"Then something unexpected happened. Now..." Ye Ming frowned slightly, with a strange expression on his face: "We seem... to have knocked it away."

"What's the meaning?"

"That said, there's no final step required, it's already open."

"Then..." Director Niu hesitated for a few seconds: "Can you say something that people can understand?"

"...We originally hoped to be able to knock out the structure of high-dimensional matter, such as high-dimensional electrons and high-dimensional protons. But in fact, there is no..."

Ye Ming said and took a long breath: "You can understand that we have completely knocked an atom... completely flat in two-dimensional space."

"Just...making pancakes?"

"A pancake that can expand with a pancake pan!" Ye Ming stared at Director Niu who seemed to understand, and said softly: "If I tell you, this one high-dimensional atom can cover a very, very, very large two-dimensional area. Dimensional space...what do you think this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means... we have a real two-dimensional world!"

…

After ending the call, Ye Ming closed his eyes.

He knew that based on Lao Niu's half-full knowledge of physics, it would be difficult to understand what high-dimensional atoms would look like after they unfolded in a space spanning at least two dimensions, but at this time, he had no intention of explaining it to Lao Niu in detail.

Because this thing... is indeed a bit scary.

This is not a simple issue of energy, but if the "matter" in this encapsulated two-dimensional space membrane can be operated, then...human beings will truly have an approximately infinite two-dimensional material space!

One of the reasons why he ended the experiment early was that after being knocked into a high-dimensional atom, the two-dimensional space membrane began to expand rapidly. If the encapsulated force field had not been strengthened, I am afraid that this two-dimensional space membrane would have Instantly becomes infinitely large...

And another reason is... he got the long-lost theoretical experience points, and it was a lot!

This means that the conditions for this experiment have been met.

This also means that an "omnipotent" super simulation can simulate such an experiment.

"It seems that my guess is right." Ye Ming looked at the expanding two-dimensional space in the super simulation space, and felt scared for a while: "This thing can split the space...any object it touches will be will be cut.”

"It looks like it's good to use as a weapon." Eta stood next to him. In order to keep consistent with Ye Ming, she changed her body shape to the same as Ye Ming: "Do you want to put it on a missile? ?”

"It's a waste to use it as a weapon, and it doesn't end well." Ye Ming squinted slightly, staring at the expanding two-dimensional space membrane and thinking.

After a moment, he whispered: "I have a bold idea."

"what idea?"

"Tell me, is it possible that high-dimensional matter is infinitely smooth and divisible in low-dimensional space?"

"And using this infinite matter is the correct way for low-dimensional life to open up to high-dimensional matter?"

Ye Ming looked at Ita.

Ita looked back at him.

Looking at each other, Eta made a face: "My CPU is burned out."

"..."

Ita's CPU burned out, but Ye Ming's CPU didn't.

In the following days, a series of tests on the two-dimensional space membrane verified his idea - the two-dimensional space membrane was originally created by humans. After being knocked into high-dimensional atoms, it became a piece of A two-dimensional substance that expands and shrinks at will under the constraints of a force field, and the density of the substance is surprisingly stable.

That is, its density does not change.

In view of this, Ye Ming gave it a name, Xi soil.

A week later, the experimental paper was compiled and posted to Aita Academic. In less than an hour, it spread throughout the human academic community.

…

…

The ETA landed slowly on the top floor of the Provincial Computer Center, and Ye Ming walked down the ramp with Qi and Mo who had finished their business trip.

It was the middle of winter, and the wind on the roof was whistling with biting force, but it could not extinguish the enthusiasm of a group of people who had been waiting on the roof for a long time.

The greeters were headed by Mr. Huo Laien, followed by a large group of scientists from the High-Dimensional Space Research Center. Even the deputy directors of the Brain-Computer Center, Sheng Fei and Zhou Xiangnan, were squeezed to the back.

"Professor, it's so cold, what are you doing!"

Seeing Professor Huo Laien with white hair standing at the front, Ye Ming quickly walked over and shook hands with the old man and smiled.

"Everyone is waiting for you!" Mr. Huo's voice was loud. After shaking hands with Ye Ming, he immediately turned and walked towards the elevator: "Look, be smart and don't leave ink marks."

Ye Ming turned around and shrugged at Qi Yumo.

Qi and Mo Yanran smiled: "I'll go home first, you guys are busy."

The group quickly went downstairs and entered the brain-computer center conference room.

"Well, I won't talk nonsense. And...all the experimental conditions have been written in the paper."

Ye Ming sat in the main seat, pulled down the curtains, and began to lower the projection.

"Soil, in the legend of our civilization, is a kind of magical soil that can grow on its own without loss."

In the projection, with Ye Ming's voice, the two-dimensional material began to expand.

"It's amazing." Ye Ming breathed out softly and looked at everyone with a smile: "Don't doubt its authenticity. What we need to do now is two things."

"The first is to figure out its theory. The second is to find a way to use it."

"As for the theory, I have been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I think that mathematically... we can build a model for it." Ye Ming said and looked at Professor Huo Laien: "Even building the model is very simple - just put By converting a high-dimensional hypercube directly into two dimensions, an infinite planar solution can be obtained.”

"But that... is just a mathematical solution!" Although Mr. Huo is known as the last master of mathematics and physics - except Ye Ming - he is still full of doubts about this counter-intuitive material: "Why If so, that’s what we need to figure out.”

"Yes, but we need to do it step by step... first explain the surface phenomenon, and then figure out the underlying principle..." Ye Ming said with a smile, looking at Sheng Fei and Zhou Xiangnan sitting behind: "As for the application , I also have a preliminary idea.”

"Now that high-dimensional matter has been two-dimensionalized, or has become a true two-dimensional matter, we can use conventional methods to conduct various tests on it."

"But the testing must be done in absolute safety."

Sheng Fei was slightly startled, and quickly looked at each other with Zhou Xiangnan, both of their eyes filled with doubts.

They have known Ye Ming for more than ten years, and they know that absolute words rarely come out of Ye Ming's mouth.

Failure and surprise are constants in science.

Now this is absolutely safe...how can we guarantee it?

Looking at the expressions of the two, Ye Ming smiled slightly: "Once the encapsulated force field of this thing fails, it will expand without limit... Therefore, for the sake of safety, the farther away the experiment on it, the better."

"Then go to Frost Star!" Sheng Fei blurted out.

Ye Ming nodded with a smile.

"Wait!" Professor Huo Laien saw that Ye Ming had actually begun to arrange the laboratory, and he immediately said: "What can it do?"

"I think... at least it can engrave a circuit, a reactor... right?" Ye Ming squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Zhou Xiangnan and said slowly.

…

…

Frost Star.

When another batch of human transport ships delivered supplies, the main fleet of the coalition embarked on the journey again.

Of course, the Mercury and Mars and their escort fleets were unable to follow up and could only stay in the Frost Galaxy, waiting for the same trick to be carried out temporarily.

On the Mercury, after Qin Weiguo announced the latest commendation order, he called Yang Wenzhi, who had changed his epaulettes, to his room.

"How does it feel to be a general?" Although the Mercury is the flagship, under the rules of equal treatment set by the self-invited Yue Hao, the entire room of the Mercury is not particularly different. Even if Qin Weiguo comes, his reception The room is just like that, except for the extra sofa and coffee table, it is no different from ordinary officials on the ship.

Sitting on the bed, Qin Weiguo pointed to the sofa opposite and smiled at Yang Wenzhi.

Yang Wenzhi has passed the exciting moment, and now he only feels calm in his heart.

After sitting down in a standard manner, Yang Wenzhi smiled and said: "It doesn't feel special. They still call me Lao Yang."

"Hahaha! You are comrades in arms. Of course they should call you Lao Yang." Qin Weiguo laughed: "You are also an old soldier. You know it is difficult to get promoted now..."

"Hehe, as long as there is a war, it doesn't matter whether you get promoted or not." Yang Wenzhi said calmly.

"Well, I really believe what you say." Qin Weiguo smiled and nodded.

He was very familiar with Yang Wenzhi and knew that this man was not very utilitarian. Moreover, the former enemy command headquarters also has great autonomy, which is much more useful than any false name.

"There are still a few months of sailing ahead. Do you want to go home?"

"I'm not going back home." Yang Wenzhi shook his head and said, "Some time ago, at Sophie Star, my wife and the children came to stay for a while, and she just barely went home."

"Well, that's up to you." Qin Weiguo nodded with a smile, and then he pondered for a few seconds before a meaningful expression appeared on his face.

Yang Wenzhi's eyes flashed and he sat upright unconsciously.

He knew that Qin Weiguo, the commander-in-chief of Taiyue, had called him here alone, and it was obviously not for a family affair with him.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, Qin Weiguo said slowly: "Wen Zhi, you have been the commander-in-chief of the former enemy headquarters for two years. During this period, you have stayed with the other commanders the longest."

"Yes." Yang Wenzhi nodded.

"So, from your point of view, if a former enemy group is to be formed, who do you think is capable of it?"

After Qin Weiguo finished speaking, Yang Wenzhi was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, he went through the names of all his colleagues in his mind. But he immediately realized...that wasn't the point.

The key is, is a second fleet group going to be established?

"Are you going to separate a command headquarters?" Yang Wenzhi asked tentatively.

"Yes." Qin Weiguo nodded.

"Now we can provide 300 warships every month...it's time to divide it into two fleets."

Yang Wenzhi took a breath and asked again: "Is there any change in strategy?"

"In the future, our offensive fleet may be divided into two or three groups - of course, all this depends on the conquest of Aila Star." Qin Weiguo said with a smile: "You haven't answered my question yet. .”

Yang Wenzhi immediately coughed lightly.

Of course he knew that the candidate he proposed would definitely not be the final candidate, but could only be regarded as a recommendation.

But...he still couldn't give an accurate answer.

After all, in his mind, his peers were great.

Yang Wenzhi met Qin Weiguo's eyes, took a few breaths, and finally gave a name.

"In terms of tactical command alone, I might recommend Olaf." Yang Wenzhi seemed to have thought of something, and immediately added: "Of course, if Zeng Yuanhai can get rid of the defensive task, he will also be very good."

Qin Weiguo nodded calmly. After a few seconds, he smiled slightly: "Do you also support launching an attack from the LY galaxy?"
