Start a Subspace

This circular device has no mass, yes, it has zero mass!

Even a finger can hold it up.

There are more than a dozen small balls flying around the big ball, and the flying methods of these small balls are also unknown.

The small ball seems to be an illusory shadow, and it will directly penetrate after touching the material. Human scientists have no idea how this kind of penetration is going on.

Some people think that it is the crossing of the fourth dimension.

On the base below the circular device, there is a screen and a row of buttons. This base exists in a way that humans can understand. It is made of a purple metal, which is superior to human superalloys, and it is called Eureka Hicks.

The text of the green star civilization is displayed on the blue screen: No access rights..

Only Karta himself can turn on this machine when he is conscious. It cannot be opened in a coma or in a state of confusion.

We humans really can't crack this thing.

The scientist said with a bit of chagrin: According to the negotiation with the Green Stars, the four-dimensional protection cover has three basic functions. The first function is to protect the integrity of the rules of the three-dimensional space, that is, the matter inside it will not undergo lamination.

In this state, matter can come in and out at will, and there is no protective function.

Zhang Ran nodded, indicating that he could understand: This function is equivalent to opening up a physical space that can survive, similar to a small universe.

Need to consume energy?

The negotiator quickly said: Of course.

The energy consumed depends on the size of the range. To maintain a space with a radius of 1 kilometer, it consumes about 100 million tons of material a year. The maximum impact range is 103 kilometers, and it needs to consume 109,272.7 billion tons of materials a year. The energy consumed and the radius The cube is proportional.

The minimum radius is 136 meters and consumes 185,000 tons a year.

A 103-kilometer shield consumes 109,272.7 billion tons of material a year? !

Zhang Ran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, isn't this order of magnitude a little scary? Selling all human beings can't last for a year!

But he quickly thought of the correct use of this function!

To maintain a protective cover of 136 meters, only 185,000 tons of quality is consumed a year, which is an affordable price.

For example, when salvaging materials in a Lanhua world, in the past, humans would die if they entered, so they could only send robots to play, and the robots were easy to break.

But now it’s different. Use this four-dimensional protective cover to cover a spaceship, and then you can send humans to play. You don’t have to worry about premature aging caused by different physical rules, and you don’t have to worry about the spaceship being damaged for no reason...

This makes sense!

The cost of mining the small silicon-based universe loaded with 500 billion tons of devourer corpses can also be reduced! Thinking of this, he felt joy in his heart, as if he picked up a sum of money for no reason.

Immediately afterwards, the expert said: The second function is directional transition! It needs to consume the energy provided by the small universe or cosmic strings to use this function. At present, this part of the energy has been completely exhausted, and we need to provide the small universe by ourselves. to restart the function.

This function is very powerful. The longer the transition distance, the more energy it needs to consume.

Could it be that this four-protection cover needs two different energy sources? Zhang Ran frowned and asked.

Issues involving the small universe are always worrying.

Human beings have not thoroughly explored the heritage of this advanced civilization. If it will automatically return to its owner Karta, it will be in big trouble.

The expert was stunned for a moment, and said: According to the results of our scientists' discussion, it should be that energy behaves differently. One is the matter in the three-dimensional world; the other is the matter that can exist in high-dimensional space-time. The two energy sources may have It’s fundamentally different.”

It must consume the small universe to activate the second function.

Okay...that's okay. Zhang Ran was thinking about which small universes could be consumed...it seemed impossible at all.

The four-dimensional shield also has a third role, four-dimensional defense.

When this function is turned on, a four-dimensional protective film like a soap bubble will be formed, which is what we see during the war.

When most of the matter enters the protective shield, it will be directly decomposed, and only a small amount of matter, such as visible light, can penetrate. To enable this function, it is also necessary to consume small universes or cosmic strings as energy sources.

Zhang Ran opened his mouth. From this point of view, the small universe is already the most important energy unit? Is it more valuable than ordinary substances?

He turned his head and asked a think tank of the secretary group: We also have some small universes in our hands. There are more than a thousand small universes on the Dongfang Panshi, but they are all part of the curvature engine... can be used as energy How many are there?

Your Highness, every small universe is precious...very precious, comparable to strategic materials.

Professor Huo who stood aside smiled wryly: Because of the subtle differences in physical rules, maybe one day, in a certain small universe, materials such as superalloys can be developed, and even silicon-based small universes can help us develop Robots that resist Lanhua.

What's more, we can't use this four-protection cover, in case that green star Karta gets it back...

Oh, that's right. Zhang Ran shook his head with a headache.

Even if the Green Stars have handed over all the technology, we still need to keep one hand...

At this time, Sakurai came to this laboratory in a hurry and brought a report: Your Highness, our Dongfang Panshi has once again returned to the three-dimensional space where the black hole is, and there are still a lot of ice cubes. The slag, related mining should continue.”

Well, of course it must be mined. Ice is also a resource. Every bit of resource is good.

Zhang Ran took the information and said casually, Oh, there are still 1.3 trillion tons of ice...

After experiencing so many things and training for so much time, Ms. Post-it Notes can be regarded as a very mature secretary. Many things are handled in an orderly manner, and there is no need to teach them a second time.

She took out a lot of paper files: The next stage of negotiations on the Green Stars has officially started. Their scientists are already working for us, so they ask for better living conditions. They also want to breed some of them. Food brought from home.”

There is also the construction of a fully automatic universal factory, and you need to sign the provocative resource plan; this year's young scientist selection is about to begin, young people have indeed made quite a lot of achievements, and there are several young talents very talented……

Oh, and ah, there seems to be quite excellent results in the New Humanity Laboratory, you need to go and see for yourself... Your Highness, please be more efficient, you need to sign more than 300 copies just to sign document!

I know, I know. Zhang Ran shrank his neck, and because he overslept because he slept in late yesterday, he criticized the worker.

Jelly brand anti-gravity car listened to their discussion, saw the four-dimensional protective cover not far away, became curious, and slowly changed back from the shape of the car, eager to try there, not knowing what to do.

Of course, without the permission of human beings, it would not dare to touch this heavily guarded toy.

A line of text suddenly appeared on the blue screen of the four-guard cover: Dear Mr. Karta, hello!

It seemed that some kind of electromagnetic wave was sent to Jelly's mind. It was startled, and stopped twisting quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the text on the screen changed to No Access Permission.

The jelly began to twist and turn again, baring its teeth and claws.

The text changed again: Dear Mr. Carta, hello!

It was as if there was a voice in Jelly's mind, talking to it. But Jelly's stupid IQ doesn't know what the voice is talking about.

The first person to discover this strange phenomenon was Professor Huo Dong. He couldn't help but give a slight huh and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

The text changed again to: No access rights.

The jelly was very happy to play, and once again began to deform and bounce, and the range was getting bigger and bigger.

The text on the screen changed again: Dear Mr. Carta, hello!

Professor Huo swore that he was absolutely right. He was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't help making a crack in his throat-this was the aftereffect of communicating with the Green Star people for a long time.

The sound was so loud that it frightened the people who were discussing next to them.

Zhang Ran quickly helped Professor Huo up, what's going on... Old Huo shouldn't have a heart attack, he's usually in good health, what's going on with his blushing face now?

And Huo Dong finally straightened out his breath, jumped up from the ground, pointed at the screen and shouted: Look quickly! It's unlocked, the encryption of advanced civilization was cracked by Jelly?

Turning his head, Dear Mr. Karta, hello!

Not only Zhang Ran, but almost everyone stared dumbfounded at the changes on the screen.

This... what is this? Really cracked!

Why?

Jelly was overwhelmed by everyone's reaction, and the screen once again displayed No access.

Jelly, crack it, crack it quickly!

The screen displayed again: Dear Mr. Karta, hello!

Everyone stood there in a daze for a long time before Zhang Ran said with a half-smile, Dear student Jelly, are you the twin brother of that Karta?

The few experts in charge of the research were stunned for a long time: No, no, what consciousness function is used to judge the programs of advanced civilizations... But it is only limited to carbon-based life. They may not have considered silicon-based life at that time. Therefore, there is a BUG, ​​and of course there may be some deep-seated reason...

Having said that, the expert said to himself: Can't the two sides understand each other...

Classmate Jelly thought in a daze that he had done something wrong, and turned into a Jelly anti-gravity car again, that is, its working form, motionless, and then shivered suddenly.

...

The encryption program of the four-protection cover was inexplicably cracked, which is surprising but at the same time completely unable to explain the principle.

But no matter what, the four protection cover can be used!

Of course, it's not that humans can use it, but jelly can use this thing. Even if it is cracked, any human operations will be invalid, and only jelly operations will be truly effective.

Anyway, the jelly raised by human beings is much more reliable than Karta of Green Star Civilization!

On the other hand, this situation is really unbelievable, even to the point of outrageous.

In the end, the scientists thought about it for a long time and came up with a set of barely reasonable arguments: There are two possibilities. The first is that this encryption method is only effective for carbon-based species, while the high-level civilization at that time was not effective for silicon-based species. Little is known about the species. So when faced with silicon-based species, this set of algorithms has unknown bugs, leading to loopholes in the program.”

This statement is indeed possible. No matter how powerful a high-level civilization is, it is impossible to consider species outside this universe. The manufacturing time of this four-protection cover was 500 million years ago, when the destruction of the universe had just begun, and the time node was right.

There is a second possibility. Jelly may be able to 'see' the brain waves of carbon-based life. Or, it may be able to 'see' things like self-awareness, so it can imitate.

This statement is actually a bit idealistic, but there is also real evidence.

Because silicon-based species are always able to discover carbon-based life in the first place, whether it is a void amoeba or a devourer, they all have ways of searching that humans do not understand. As a silicon-based species, jelly should be no exception.

The difference is that the void amoeba is full of malice towards humans, and the jelly is very friendly to humans, which seems very strange, and it prefers psykers...
