Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan paused for a moment, and then said a few more words: "Technology is the primary productive force, and the technology related to dimensions is probably beyond our level by more than one level."

"It's hard for me to imagine how high the technological level of the civilization that created this high-dimensional fragment is... So, we may gain a lot of inspiration from it, but we may also take huge risks and get nothing. After all, the technology gap It's just too big."

Everyone hesitated a little, distinguishing the opportunities and challenges brought by this high-dimensional fragment.

In this silence, suddenly, a different voice sounded in the conference room, "No, you can't give up! A technological creation with a very high level of civilization is too important to us! We must study it... ..."

It was a young physicist named Zhang Yingbo. At first he seemed a little shy in front of everyone, but soon his voice became louder and he expressed his true thoughts: "We do have many people from The technological heritage of Earth civilization, these heritages are enough for us to absorb hundreds of years..."

"And then? Everyone knows that Earth civilization has not had a new theory for a long, long time!"

"We've got our throats stuck!"

"As far as natural science is concerned, the small and medium fish in the pond have been caught long ago, and the rest are big fish that no one can catch, not only the people on the earth, but also us. .”

"Now, this big fish is completely presented in front of our eyes."

"If we give up this great opportunity for the sake of temporary safety, I think we will be safe for a while and regret it for the rest of our lives... Our children and grandchildren will always regret today's cowardly decision."

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds, and then there was a lot of noise. In fact, many scientists reported the same idea, including Zhang Yuan, but he just didn't say it.

"I agree with the doctor."

"I agree too."

Even if it is possible to pay the price of life, it seems to be nothing in front of the huge curiosity and interests.

Three hours later, after a heated discussion, in the end, after a series of votes, it was retained, and the party that explored for the second time still won by a narrow margin.

In order to prevent it from attacking suddenly, it can only be left in the outermost living area. Anyway, as long as you don't swallow important parts like the engine, it's not a big deal to swallow some of the structure of the living area. The living area is a tight honeycomb structure. Even if the outer rooms are broken, the inner ones can still be used normally.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a scouting robot slowly entered the room, and then carefully picked up the fragment.

Zhang Yuan stared at the screen with his eyes wide open, his heart beating rapidly.

Fortunately, though, nothing happened.

Everything is calm...

Captain Zhao wiped the sweat off his face, "Okay, it seems that ordinary touches won't activate it... Let's transfer this high-dimensional fragment to the N area next door, and let's give the hole in M ​​area Repair it...and then study it, or conduct a second exploration activity."

Next, everyone gave full play to their imagination. In this ignorant situation, it is better to make a conjecture and then prepare related proposals than nothing.

"So everyone, what I want to ask is, where did this high-dimensional fragment come from? What is its function? How can this fragment be reactivated? Do you have any more ideas?"

Another scientist stood up and said, "I think there is a great probability that it is related to the supernova explosion of Seamount 2."

"Look, everyone, this high-dimensional fragment looks like a broken glass shard. Why does it look like a glass shard instead of other shapes?"

"For example, why not a ball? Why not a cube?"

This question seems a bit nonsensical.

I saw the scientist explain: "As we all know, a sphere, or an ellipsoid, not only has a more beautiful appearance, but also has better mechanical properties. Even if the aesthetics of alien civilizations may not be the same as ours, the mathematical concepts must be more advanced than ours." Developed... It is impossible for them to understand these principles. I really can't imagine any good mechanical properties of a broken glass slag."

"So, we can make a bold assumption: there may be a super-civilized large-scale project near Seamount 2!"

"Because of this supernova explosion, it was destroyed, and this kind of broken glass shards appeared..."

"In addition, its mass is extremely small, so it can move close to the speed of light in the universe, and it just hit our spacecraft. Because the mass is small, the kinetic energy is not large...so we encountered it."

Zhang Yuan nodded. This hypothesis sounds like a fantasy, but it seems that there is no big loophole...

The only weird thing is why the super civilization will build the project near the supernova.

In fact, this question itself is not very nutritious. Even if people know that there are super-civilized creations in Haishan 2, so what? It is 7,000 light-years away from human beings, and it has already been destroyed. At most, you can listen to some gossip content, and it is impossible to really run over to have a look.

Lin Xuanxuan stood behind him and said in a low voice, "Since we say so, if we can find a second piece of glass moving at high speed, we will be able to prove this hypothesis."

"A relic of a super civilization..." She began to be in a daze quietly again, "I don't know what the daily life of other civilizations is like... Is it the same as ours?"

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "The probability of finding the second fragment is too small. Even if a matter as large as a black hole is distributed on a scale of 7,000 light-years, it is too sparse to find. We can meet A piece of high-dimensional debris is already a great luck. Moreover, if it is hit by multiple pieces of high-dimensional debris, our spaceship will be finished."

These gossip-like contents can be obtained by guessing. The most important thing is the second question, how to stimulate this high-dimensional fragment?

Because the number of excitations observed by people is only two times, the samples are too small, and no regular conclusions can be drawn at all.

Some people think it has something to do with the movement speed of the fragments, as long as it is accelerated to a very high speed, maybe it can be excited; some people think it has something to do with energy and temperature; some people think it has something to do with the time node.

Anyway, discussions come and go, and there will be no real conclusions until the experimental results are clearly made.

...

after one day.

The high-dimensional fragments have been transferred to an empty hall in Zone N, and are firmly monitored by various instruments. Many physicists are almost risking their lives to study it.

A grand funeral was held in Area A.

Although Zhang Yuan escaped from the high-dimensional space, the other two soldiers theoretically had no chance of surviving.

This was the first case of death on duty in the spaceship, and the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy. Zhang Yuan has always felt that there is not much meaning in promulgating "first-class merit" to the deceased. But at this moment he understood that in fact, all kinds of meritorious deeds are awarded to the living...

This solemn ceremony is very important to a civilization. It is not enough for a person to only have this life, nor can he just live in the present, he should also have poetry and ideals.
