Chapter 932: Transmission Channel |
Even Xiao Yu had to admit that this mechanism was ingenious to an astonishing degree. In this process, as long as the motion of even a single star had shown the slightest deviation, its influence would have spread to the entire whole and caused the entire mechanism to fail. These trillion stars had moved over the past several thousand years with the precision of clock hands, without the slightest error, and in the end jointly created this situation. Under their influence, the Central Black Hole of this galaxy disappeared.
Even Xiao Yu as he was now was still unable to achieve such a thing, and the Dark Star Civilization was obviously even less likely to possess this capability. Yet they had done it. Relying on the first type of philosophical weapon in their hands, after designating the result, the universe itself had served as the executor of this action. Without leaving any trace, it controlled most of the stars in the Feiyuan Galaxy to cooperate together, and ultimately completed this objective. If Xiao Yu had not possessed such terrifying computational power, and had not relied on his intelligence network to gather a massive amount of data for analysis, Xiao Yu also would not have been able to discover this.
And in fact, if Xiao Yu had not analyzed those Neutron War Stars he had captured, thereby obtaining part of four-dimensional technology, Xiao Yu would not have been able to understand what exactly this change meant.
Yes, it was four-dimensional technology. At this moment, the Central Black Hole of this galaxy had already entered four-dimensional space. This was a different technology from slicing the small universe.
Xiao Yu already knew that an infinite number of two-dimensional worlds made up our three-dimensional main universe. And an infinite number of three-dimensional worlds made up a four-dimensional world. When passing through the Star Gate created by that Level 8 Civilization of the travel-direction path to cross the voyage of several million light years between the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, Xiao Yu had once been fortunate enough to glimpse the mysteries of other three-dimensional worlds.
Aside from the three-dimensional universe we inhabit, all the other three-dimensional worlds are meaningless. There are no Rules there, no causality. Anything, in the truest sense of the word, can happen at any time without requiring any reason. A person suddenly appearing and then suddenly turning into a tiger, and that tiger swallowing a sun in one bite, such absurd things could also happen. If one were to ask what the reason was, regrettably, there is no such thing as causality there. There is not even a true physical quantity of time there in the strict sense.
At this moment, the Central Black Hole of this galaxy existed in such a world. Since there were no Rules, then naturally some unknown force could establish certain Rules there. And clearly, the Logic Weapon in the Dark Star Civilization’s possession had accomplished that. It had established Rules there, allowing the gravity of the Central Black Hole to continue being transmitted outward, continuing to dominate the motion of the stars in this vast galaxy.
Since these were different three-dimensional worlds, then even if Xiao Yu completely destroyed the three-dimensional universe he was in, it would not affect the three-dimensional world where the Central Black Hole existed. No, perhaps that was not entirely correct. Under the same Rules, as far as Xiao Yu currently knew, both gravity and light could be transmitted between different three-dimensional worlds, so it was possible that different three-dimensional worlds could also influence one another. It was simply that Xiao Yu did not know the specific method.
“I have already mastered certain four-dimensional technologies. Then using these four-dimensional technologies, allowing my fleet to invade the three-dimensional world where the Central Black Hole resides might not be impossible after all. Perhaps I can try doing this.” Xiao Yu thought silently.
“It is just that… will this process really go as smoothly as I imagine? After sensing my intentions, what sort of response plan will the Dark Star Civilization make using the Logic Weapon? Better not think too much about that for now. Whether it succeeds or fails, I have to try it first.” Xiao Yu silently made up his mind.
Within this empty stretch of cosmic space left behind after the Central Black Hole disappeared, Xiao Yu once again began constructing a new type of instrument. Xiao Yu’s knowledge of four-dimensional technology was limited. Even the four-dimensional technology mastered by the extreme stellar body civilization had only been developed for modifying the interiors of neutron stars and white dwarfs without breaking their shells. Although the technological foundation was the same, its direction of development did not suit Xiao Yu’s requirements. There was no helping it. Xiao Yu could only once again begin technological research here, and Xiao Yu’s test plan was to see whether this technology could meet his requirements and allow him to successfully connect to the three-dimensional world where the Central Black Hole existed.
This was a very bizarre thing. Simply put, it was like a two-dimensional lifeform on a sheet of paper wanting to leave that sheet and jump onto another sheet of paper. It was an extremely inconceivable sort of action, and yet under Xiao Yu’s present technological foundation, this action had become possible to achieve.
The principle behind the technology that could realize this behavior was still energy. When space is reduced from three dimensions to two dimensions, it releases energy, and when a certain amount of energy is applied to two-dimensional space, it can also be raised into three-dimensional space. What Xiao Yu needed to do was use sufficient energy to create a passage connecting different three-dimensional spaces. The principle sounded very simple, but in the actual research and implementation process, it was more complicated by tens of trillions of times. Even with Xiao Yu’s current technological foundation, the research was extremely difficult.
Because this technology involved far too many things:, energy, space, curvature, rules, four dimensions, and more. It was even more difficult than the process of mastering the space energy formula.
But in the end, Xiao Yu did develop this technology. In this empty region, something like a Star Gate, like the passage connecting the main universe and the small universe, appeared. It did not lead to another small universe, but to another three-dimensional world.
“My mastery of this transmission technology is not mature. The transmission channel is still not very stable, so for now I have no way of transmitting too many warships at once. It is better to send some detection ships over first and observe the situation there, so that I can make countermeasures early.” Xiao Yu considered it this way.
Only an infinite number of three-dimensional worlds could constitute one four-dimensional world. The term infinite is a very strange kind of existence in mathematics. To use a very simple example, if one performs a simple comparison of magnitude, which is larger, ‘infinity’ or ‘infinity divided by two?’
According to normal thinking, it would seem that ‘infinity divided by two’ should be smaller. But do not forget, even if infinity is divided by two, or even by ten thousand or one hundred thousand, it is still infinity. So they should be equal. This kind of comparison and calculation has no real meaning, but in Xiao Yu’s transmission process, this wondrous phenomenon at the mathematical level was fully displayed.
Since it was infinity, and infinity divided by any concrete number was still infinity, this meant that even if Xiao Yu moved only one ten-trillionth of a centimeter in the four-dimensional direction, the number of three-dimensional worlds Xiao Yu passed through was still infinite. Xiao Yu’s vanguard detection force observed this marvelous phenomenon. This transmission channel was independent of these three-dimensional worlds, and Xiao Yu could observe these three-dimensional worlds from a higher dimension. At the instant these detection ships entered the transmission channel, infinite data surged toward Xiao Yu. In that very instant, all of the detection ships Xiao Yu had sent in first were destroyed.
Xiao Yu suddenly felt a surge of alarm. Xiao Yu knew that these ships had not been destroyed by any tangible enemy, but even so, in that instant just now, he had already walked a full circle along the edge of life and death.
An infinite number of three-dimensional worlds meant an infinite amount of observation data, and this vast sea of truly infinite data was something Xiao Yu could not handle even if his computational power were increased by another one trillion times. Xiao Yu would die instantly.
Fortunately, this data never had a chance to reach Xiao Yu’s mind. Because Xiao Yu’s detection ships also possessed their own data processing modules, and infinite data instantly burned out these data processing modules. Once these ships were burned out, they naturally could no longer transmit data to Xiao Yu.
“In the process of exploring the universe, there are truly thorns and traps at every step… the slightest carelessness leads to death and annihilation.” Xiao Yu sighed inwardly, and once again sent corresponding detection forces into this transmission channel. It was only that this time Xiao Yu had learned his lesson, so he made corresponding arrangements.
Most of the detection instruments on these ships were shut down by Xiao Yu during the transmission process, and only a few of the simplest instruments were left active to carry out observation here. Xiao Yu also imposed logical restrictions on these detection instruments, limiting the upper bound of the amount of data that could enter per unit of time, in order to prevent too much data from flooding in and causing harmful consequences.
Under these circumstances, Xiao Yu’s detection ship formation finally successfully entered the transmission channel. What appeared before Xiao Yu was a wondrous scene…
