Start a Subspace

The government's action was very efficient. In the next hour, Erwin, the high-dimensional perceiver, and Ms. Emily, the proprietress of Lily's Bar, came to the scene together.

Seeing so many big shots, Emily clutched her skirt tightly with both hands, looking a little nervous.

She was just a small owner of a bar. If she hadn't wanted to take care of Erwin, who was mentally ill, she wouldn't have come here.

But when he saw Zhang Ran, an old acquaintance, he smiled and handed over a small lunch box, Your Highness, your soul.

Your Highness is the major shareholder of Lily's Bar... I'm too familiar with him, so I don't have that sense of awe.

So it's handmade bread. I said that only handmade bread has a soul. Zhang Ran opened the lunch box, took a bite, and showed a satisfied expression.

It's not handmade bread, it's made by robots!

Zhang Ran was choked by her and was speechless: By the way, Emily, how old are you... Have you and Erwin obtained a certificate? It's not easy to take care of him, he has to be responsible.

I'm only 24 years old, who wants to marry this middle-aged uncle! I want to marry His Highness, Sakurai, are you right? Emily said with a smile on her face, grabbed the Erwin's arms jerked wildly.

Sakurai who was behind Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and grimaced.

Erwin, who has reached middle age, also showed a hearty smile.

The life in the bar is indeed too comfortable, bragging and farting every day, eating some delicious food, gradually dispelling his previous despair, who doesn't want to live this kind of life forever?

He readily accepted the task: Your Highness, let me see... let me see what the world is like!

These people came to the observatory.

In fact, Erwin hasn't used his abilities for a long time, and facing the bewildered universe, he still feels a strong sense of palpitation.

This feeling of being a drop in the ocean, as if the whole person will be swallowed by the universe in the next second, no matter how many times, I will never get used to it.

The universe... is really too huge.

He mustered up his courage and aimed his pupils in the direction of the black hole, but this time it seemed very strange. In less than a second, his whole body was sweating profusely, and his whole body twitched and fell to the ground.

He saw a huge amount of messy information...from the tearing of stars, the shattering of space, to the black hole staying here alone, in an instant, it seemed that ten thousand or even billion years had passed!

Such a long period of time made him almost have a nervous breakdown!

In the society where Erwin was about to fall into a coma, suddenly, something seemed to jump out of the black hole? !

How could it be... How could something jump out of the black hole!

It looks like...

...Meteorite! Erwin howled lowly, dancing his hands and feet to express something, his face turned red for a while, then purple for a while, A meteorite! A meteorite emerged from the black hole!

Then there was a boom and fell to the ground.

What... what's wrong?! Emily yelled first, and quickly helped him up, crying.

Meteorite? Zhang Ran was startled when he saw Erwin who had passed out, and hurriedly said, Take him to the hospital quickly.

Turning his head again, looking in the direction of the black hole, he muttered to himself, with a hint of excitement: ...Meteorite?

Come out of a black hole? A white hole?!

...

Half an hour later, the new human laboratory.

Professor Tang Ze, who specializes in the study of psykers, is doing a physical examination for Erwin, and some assistants around him are also busy.

Humanity's big investigative hole card actually fainted directly...

The brain wave data is not very good. He is a bit serious this time... Maybe he has received too much information in a short period of time. Your Highness, after all, he is a big trump card for human beings. If he really becomes an idiot, it will be us He has to recuperate for a long time. Professor Tang said very bluntly, In this situation, he can easily become a lunatic!

Zhang Ran touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed by what he said.

This kind of thing happened often in the past. Compared with the predictive ability of the predictor, Mr. Erwin's high-dimensional perception is really not very reliable, and it often brings huge spiritual backlash to himself.

But after a moment of silence, he still asked, Professor Tang, I hope you can find a way to wake him up and ask the specific reason. If there is a serious danger, we should leave this area immediately.

If there are really meteorites, we have to find a way to salvage the materials as soon as possible. We are too short of materials now.

Tang Ze immediately replied: It's not bad for him to wake up in a month. It should be a coma caused by too much information shock. It's not epilepsy. When the human brain receives too much information, it produces a kind of self-protection. Phenomenon.

So I think that even if he wakes up, he won't remember what he saw.

Should there be too much information accumulated on the event horizon surface of the black hole? Lin Qiuyue, who was standing next to Zhang Ran, said in a cold voice, Black holes are different from other celestial bodies. The event horizon surface of a black hole can accumulate information infinitely. The information doesn't disappear, it accumulates there permanently.

So I think that Erwin may have seen too much accumulated information and passed out directly.

A black hole is a hole in the continuous space-time, which cannot even be described as matter.

At the moment when the star becomes a black hole, the matter that makes up the star is completely separated from the original space-time, and nothing remains except mass, electric charge, and angular momentum.

Therefore, even if the black hole continues to evaporate its own matter and its mass is greatly reduced to the neutron star level, it will not become a neutron star again.

In addition, the information collected by the black hole stays on the surface of the event horizon and exists for a long time.

What's the matter with the meteorite emerging from the black hole? Zhang Ran asked.

I don't know, maybe he misread it, or maybe it's really... a white hole? I hope there are really meteorites nearby.

Deep down in her heart, Lin Qiuyue was even more excited than Zhang Ran. The white hole or something is really unimaginable to a certain unbelievable level! Human beings have never discovered a white hole in the real universe!

In addition, she spent every day begging...

Great scientists are begging every day, and they have to wear special clothes to beg better... This kind of humiliating life really doesn't want to stay for a second.

Zhang Ran pondered for a moment, then nodded in the same way: In this case, let's use hydrogen bombs to illuminate the world.

...

The crowd once again concentrated in the captain's room.

With an order, two hydrogen bombs were projected, and with the birth of nuclear fireballs, bright light briefly illuminated this three-dimensional space.

The propagation speed of the speed of light is limited, still 300,000 kilometers per second. Human beings have been waiting for two hours, waiting for these photons to illuminate the whole world.

Two hours later, Zhang Ran received another notification from the observatory.

My heart was beating wildly when I received this notice.

However, Professor Huo Dong's loud voice has spoiled the content of the notice.

As if, as if, maybe...

He carefully reviewed this paragraph of text, with a joyful smile on his face, heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to everyone in the captain's room: Good news, Erwin is right...

He laughed loudly: Everyone, the resources... seem to be found!

An image was displayed on the screen: Near the black hole, about 74 million kilometers away, there are more than a dozen large and small black spots, revolving around the black hole at high speed!

The smallest black spot is about 500 meters long, and the largest meteorite is 6.3 kilometers long!

The sudden good news really brought tears to my eyes.

Humans actually found matter near the black hole!

This can be described with the word magical. For human beings, black holes are indeed very mysterious and dangerous celestial bodies.

All the laws of physics will completely fail in a black hole.

But this time, the black hole actually brought good luck, which is really a blessing in disguise.

Of course, this is not too unusual, as long as it is far enough away from the black hole, there will not be too much danger. 74 million kilometers is about half the distance from the earth to the sun, and it is also a relatively safe distance.

More than a dozen meteorites, large and small, may add up to trillions of tons.

The order of trillions of tons is just a hair in the universe, but for the current human beings, it is no different from a great existence like sending charcoal in the snow...

God knows how many things are missing on the human side!

Following the announcement of the news, there was an uproar in the conference room. Whether it was Zhou Chengfeng and other government officials, or Guo Weiqiang and other soldiers, they all showed expressions of relief.

People are really scared, and they can't find any material... This kind of tension of being suffocated alive is hard for others to experience.

There are also many scientists and engineers who are cheering loudly, frantically discussing the harvest brought by meteorites, and guessing what ingredients are in meteorites?

So many factories are waiting to be fed, and in the mass production plan, hundreds of millions of robots are yet to be produced!

Is hundreds of millions a lot, not much at all! It's equivalent to having two robots for each person, which is really not much at all.

There is also a great... fully automatic universal factory. At present, only a gravity-free factory has been built, and the production line inside has not yet been written!

Yes, the spatial pattern of Kunlun Mountain seems to be a bit small. It needs to live, but also to engage in industry, agriculture, education, entertainment, etc., plus the future population expansion.

So after careful consideration, people thought that it would be nice to have another high-tech shelter that doesn't need to be rotated for industrial production...

The usual work and commute can be completed with virtual universe technology. That is to say, engineers can complete the commute by remotely controlling the robot in a fixed place, and there is no need to go there physically.

What's more, military plans such as 1,000 Dragon-class spacecraft and hundreds of millions of drones...

These projects really want to be carried out, even if the 3500 creation energy in Zhang Ran's pocket is exhausted, it is far from enough. What's more, Zhang Ran really didn't want to spend a dime, not even a penny.

Everyone, everyone, be quiet.

The discovery of resources does not mean that they have been pocketed.

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Zhang Ran was also in a good mood. He clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet: It's not too late to hold a celebration banquet after we have resolved the urgent need.

Whether these meteorites have the elements we need is also a question. Everyone calm down first.

After a small cheer, the meeting room slowly calmed down.

The big problem now is how to get these high-speed meteorites.

It's too far to use a rope.

The orbit of the meteorite is more than 10 million kilometers away from the current position of the spacecraft, and it is still moving at a high speed. Is the rope really reliable?

Obviously not.

What's more, the kinetic energy of these meteorites is generally outrageous, and it is another problem to offset these kinetic energy. .

Zhao Weichao from the staff department said: The plan of pulling with a rope is really not working. We observed that the speed of these meteorites reached an astonishing 165 km/s, which is much faster than the meteorites we killed the Void Amoeba. The kinetic energy is natural. It's even bigger.

Even our Dongfang Panshi can't pull a meteorite with a mass of only tens of millions of tons. Either the rope will break directly, or our spaceship will be dragged into this three-dimensional space by the meteorite.

This three-dimensional space is undergoing a change phenomenon, which is between the second type and the third type of universe, and the physical rules do not support life for a long time.

Carbon-based life can often only survive for a short ten seconds.

Thinking of the scene where all the crew died after the spaceship was pulled by the meteorite, everyone seemed to have been poured cold water and recovered from that state of excitement.

Or we can only use the space gate... A scientist muttered in a low voice, use the space gate to take the meteorite directly into the subspace. As for the kinetic energy of the meteorite, you can think of a way, anyway, there is always a way of.

But the bigger the door, the more creation energy will be consumed.

If these meteorites were just some ice cubes, it would not be worthwhile.

After all, human beings are not short of water resources, but rare earths, industrial metals, precious metals and so on. It is obviously not worthwhile to consume creation energy to obtain some ice cubes.

Everyone pondered hard, trying to find a good solution.

An object that can rotate at a high speed near a black hole should be a fairly hard type.

Not necessarily. If the ice is cold enough, it will be very hard.

Either it can be cut with a laser. Don't we have a very powerful laser? Cut these meteorites into small pieces and send them into the subspace.

All in all, sending a group of advanced detectors for exploration is currently the first priority.

People must at least figure out what the composition of these high-speed meteorites is, and whether they have the value of opening space doors...

...

In this way, after a week of preparations by a large number of engineers, a spaceship carrying a robot set off on time.

In order to ensure the success rate of the mission, a space gate is installed on the spacecraft, and humans can release the machine from the space gate at any time.

This plan was proposed by engineer Lu Qiming: It takes two or three days for our spacecraft to get close to these meteorites... The physical changes during this period are enough to damage some sophisticated instruments. Using the space gate, we not only It can temporarily drop observation instruments and recover most of the robots.”

This is true, the space gate is used well, it is no different from black technology.

In addition, in addition to those meteorites flying around black holes that need to be explored, black holes are also the focus of our investigation.

The mass of this black hole is not large, but the Hawking radiation it emits is much higher than expected. It may have some kind of physical mechanism that we don't know.

Looking at the figure of the spaceship going away, Zhang Ran said in a low voice: I've been thinking about a question, if other civilizations don't have a subspace, what should they do...how to recycle these resources?

Old Lu, is there a way for you? Really use a rope to pull?

He thought of something again, and clapped his hands lightly, For example, the Sibadi civilization, after they leave their home planet, they will also encounter the problem of lack of resources. Don't they have anything to do?

Lu Qiming scratched his head, pondered for a few seconds, and smiled: Of course there is a way! It's just a matter of difficulty. If we humans don't have space gates, then we can only send our small universe to play.

The small universe should be able to isolate the physical rules of the outside world. As long as carbon-based life does not go out, there will be no risk.

Then find a way to stop the small universe on the meteorite, and slowly use robots to mine resources.

If they develop special robots that imitate the movement of silicon-based life and reduce the chance of damage, the cost will still be acceptable.

I see...but in this way, I have to live here for a long time until the resources are exhausted, isn't that right?

Yes. Lu Qiming calculated in his heart, With so many meteorites, according to our current scientific and technological strength, it may take hundreds or even thousands of years to dig. After all, the robots we developed cannot adapt to the rules here. It will take decades for silicon-based technology to fully mature.

As long as we human beings put the meteorite into the subspace, we can leave immediately. This is where we are lucky, we can find more opportunities.

Zhang Ran nodded and sighed: Staying here for decades is really a huge risk. After all, there is a special black hole with unknown circumstances next door. Maybe it is the legendary white hole. Squirt something.

By the way, how is the research on silicon-based life going?

This time, it was Lin Qiuyue who shook her head instead: I heard the report from Scott. Our specimens are not perfect. The silicon-based life specimens that were frozen by liquid nitrogen when they entered the subspace last time were not Not very good imitation objects. Their body structure is too complex for imitation.

There is also a jelly that is also a silicon-based life, but the jelly cannot be dissected, and I don't know how to study it. When she mentioned the jelly, there was a faint smile on her face.

Jelly hasn't come home yet, and I don't know what happened to it, and whether it has collected cosmic strings.

Of course, we still have some achievements. For example, the energy system generally uses a chemical structure called PPX... Our current exploration spacecraft has already used this energy supply structure, and the probability of errors is very small.

The most important thing now is the problem of the chip. The probability of chip error is very high. The reason is that the speed of light here is a little bit less than our universe, really only a little bit. The decrease of the speed of light leads to a series of chains in the movement of electrons. Reaction, we have no idea how to develop a chip that can adapt to the third type of universe and has an extremely low error rate...

So creating a black hole with a low speed of light is very, very difficult, right? Zhang Ran thought of something and asked with a smile.

Are you referring to the black domain safety statement? Of course it is a difficult matter. The increase and decrease of the speed of light is related to many things. It is even related to the mass-energy equation E=mc^2.

For example, the highest speed of electrons is not allowed to exceed the speed of light. Degenerate matter is also related to the speed of light. As long as the matter in the formula is related to the speed of light... Well, if the speed of light changes suddenly, it is actually difficult to imagine what will happen. Da Parts of matter will collapse at the atomic level.

People are too familiar with things like explosions...

Because there are quite a lot of the fourth type of universes, most of the probes will directly explode when they enter. This kind of explosion is also different from the normal explosion. It is a decomposition at the atomic level, and there is nothing at once.

Zhang Ran was about to hear the news of a detector explosion every now and then, and at first he felt very cold in his heart.

That is a precious material, it is money out of the pocket!

But then I slowly became immune to it. Explosions are inevitable. Explosions are an art. Let's explode as much as we want.

Is there any armor that can adapt to most of the universe's rules after wearing it?

No, or it is very difficult, because this kind of material decomposition is triggered by the rules of space. It acts on every atom in the human body, and every electron.

Unless this armor can carry a piece of normal space into it, that is, the miniaturization of the curvature engine. In fact, our Dongfang Panshi can also resist the variation of physical rules to a certain extent... Of course, the time can't be too long.

...

...

With the gradual passage of time, the exploration spacecraft finally arrived at its destination!

In order to reduce the impact of Lanhua, all the equipment in the spaceship is crude and terrifying, with a Soviet-style violent aesthetics.

The engine is a nuclear fission engine built by imitating the PPX mechanical structure of the Void Amoeba. The chip is at the micron level. It does not pursue performance, but only pursues stability and durability.

As for more sophisticated instruments, they are temporarily sent out from the space gate, connected with ropes, and pulled back for repairs if they are broken.

A large number of expert groups gathered at the Dongfang Panshi Observatory, gearing up, excited, trying to analyze more information at the first time.

This will be the first batch of matter harvested by human beings in the high-dimensional universe!
