Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

……

13 month 28 day.

The three Tianzhou spacecraft depart from the new Wenchang satellite city, and their destinations are the blue star orbit of 95 kilometers, the blue star orbit of 120 million kilometers, and the blue star orbit of 150 million kilometers (the Lagrangian point L1 of the blue star and the sun itself) .

There are many factors that may affect the experiment on the blue star, so Huang Mingzhe chose to conduct this experiment in three areas that are very far away from the blue star.

The Tianzhou spacecraft is equipped with special vacuum zero-point energy detection equipment, energy siphon devices and a series of other scientific instruments.

Among them, the energy siphon device is an imitation of the Nibelung Heart, and the efficiency of the energy siphon effect is only about 5.6% of that of the Nibelung Heart.

In order to ensure that the energy siphon effect will appear as expected, the scale of the imitation Nibelung Heart device is tens of thousands of times larger than the original version.

After 15 hours of flight, the Tianzhou 014 spacecraft successfully reached the 95-kilometer orbit of Blue Star.

……

Blue Star's Science Committee virtual meeting room.

"Chairman, Tianzhou 014 is already in place."

Huang Mingzhe looked at the time: "Start the experiment."

"Yes."

Academician Yang, Zhang Tingyu, Ding Zhaozhong, Higgs and others waited for the test results, while chatting with the people around them in low voices.

at the same time.

On the 95-kilometer orbit of Blue Star, the Tianzhou 014 spacecraft first launched 6 scientific detection satellites in all directions.

These satellites carry sophisticated detection instruments that can detect neutrinos, gravity, vacuum zero-point energy, photons, magnetic fields, etc.

卫星环绕着飞船运行，距离分别是10公里、30公里、90公里、150公里、300公里、900公里。

Not only is there scientific testing equipment on the satellite, but the spacecraft itself has also prepared three sets of equipment.

Make sure that the results will not be wrong due to instrument errors.

Before the experiment, the ground first detected the gravity, magnetic field, photons, cosmic rays, neutrinos, and vacuum zero-point energy data of the surrounding environment.

Count the detailed parameters of the surrounding environment within half an hour to ensure nothing goes wrong.

[The experiment officially begins. ]

The imitation Nibelung Heart device on the Tianzhou 014 spacecraft started to operate, and the surging electric energy was sucked out into the void.

After the device imitating the heart of Nibelon started to generate electricity, the detection instrument, which had been calm, began to show abnormal data.

Inside the virtual conference room.

Rows of data are continuously refreshed on the virtual display.

[Gravity parameter: 0.001736...0.001732...0.001728]

[Magnetic field: 0.00526...0.00173...0.00782...0.00024]

[Zero-point energy parameters: 1.44267853...1.44267852...1.44267850...]

Not only the scientific detection instruments of the spaceship itself have detected changes in parameters, but even those satellites have also detected sudden changes in parameters to varying degrees.

It may seem that the changes are very small, but the changes are actually happening in the universe.

"The magnetic field is slightly disturbed, the gravitational force is weakening, and the vacuum zero-point energy density is also decreasing."

Although he already agreed with Huang Mingzhe's theory, seeing this situation with his own eyes made everyone present panic.

If the vacuum decay is really activated, the blue star 95 kilometers away will be turned into nothingness in 3 seconds and become a true vacuum area.

Half an hour later, the imitation Nibelung Heart device stopped working, and then the magnetic field returned to normal, and the gravitational parameters also returned to the previous data.

Only the vacuum zero-point energy parameters in this area did not return to normal quickly. Based on the recovery speed, it is estimated that it will take 850 hours to return to the previous level.

The reason why it is said to be close to the previous level is that unless the energy absorbed by the imitation Nibelung Heart device is returned, the vacuum zero-point energy here will never be restored to the previous level.

This is like the heart of the Nibelung is a water pump, and the vacuum zero point energy is an ocean. The pump pumps millions of cubic meters of water, obviously it is impossible to cause a significant drop in sea level all at once.

But the energy extracted by the Nibelung Heart device has been turned into electrical energy, and it can no longer be changed back to vacuum zero-point energy.

Just like the water in seawater is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, and then the hydrogen element is taken up as nuclear fuel, which means that some hydrogen elements cannot be returned to the water cycle.

There seems to be no problem in a short period of time, but the consequences of extracting vacuum zero-point energy for a long time will be disastrous.

As an important basis for maintaining the current rules of the universe, the vacuum zero-point energy is very important. Once the vacuum zero-point energy is excessively absorbed in an area, it may stimulate vacuum decay.

Vacuum decay is a bit like dichroic foil, once excited it expands irreversibly at the speed of light, destroying everything in its path.

At least Huang Mingzhe has no way to curb the expansion of the vacuum decay, nor can he return the energy to the vacuum.

Even if there is a way to repay the energy, the new human beings cannot ensure that other alien civilizations do not excessively extract the vacuum zero-point energy, which is a deadlock.

The universe is too big, and the expansion of the universe is still going on faster than the speed of light. If a civilization somewhere in the universe dies, it stimulates vacuum decay, the vacuum decay may not be able to destroy the universe, and the expansion of the universe may always be accompanied by vacuum decay.

……

Next, the remaining two Tianzhou spacecraft also reached the designated orbit one after another.

The experimental test results are similar to those of the Tianzhu 014 spacecraft.

Putting down the analysis report in his hand, Ma Zhongming hurriedly suggested: "Mingzhe, just keep the satellite nearby for testing, and no more vacuum zero-point energy absorption experiments can be done."

Huang Mingzhe looked around and asked, "What do you think?"

"I agree to suspend the experiment."

"No, even the energy siphon laboratory must be suspended."

"correct."

Despite the bitterness in his heart, Cai Defeng still put the overall situation first: "Chairman, I agree to suspend the energy siphon laboratory."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Huang Mingzhe nodded slightly: "In that case, then suspend all actual experiments on zero-point energy in vacuum."

However, Huang Mingzhe did not kill him with a single stick. He continued: "The theory can continue to be studied. In addition, we can study how to return energy to the vacuum, or study whether the vacuum itself has a self-compensating mechanism, and how to curb the decay of the vacuum."

"Mingzhe's words are reasonable." Academician Yang agreed.

Although the Science Committee passed the "Management Measures for Vacuum Zero-point Energy Research", everyone's hearts were not relaxed.
