Lan Nuo narrated the history of mankind during this period. From the beginning, when mankind faced famine and the Trisolarans, a large number of capitulationists appeared, and even a large number of leading parties appeared, and later they faced the wall.
Plan, and later food synthesis technology and controllable nuclear fusion, alleviated the internal crisis of mankind.
Immortality technology allows people to see the Doomsday War, and they can't help but start to truly contribute their own strength to the Doomsday War in order to continue to live forever.
Later, the Trisolarans released nano-weapons, which were cracked by various human technologies one by one. And because of the assassination of Lan Nuo, the human undercover deceived a large amount of the Trisolarans' technology, which greatly accelerated the process of human technology explosion. It only took a dozen
Within a year, a spacecraft that could theoretically achieve interstellar voyages was built.
They also jumped out of the strategic thinking of defense in the solar system and chose to take the initiative, trapping sophons through accelerators, and mainly turning against customers. This gained two precious years of rapid development of science and technology.
Investigate the Trisolarans, cast a wide net in all directions, look for possible physical rules and special areas, and use these specialities to defeat the Trisolarans.
Various strategies are in operation so far. It can be seen that when humans faced the Trisolarans, they were just bugs with no value for anyone to look at at first. Later, the Trisolarans desperately wanted to kill a certain human individual, and
Now, the Trisolarans have tried their best to deal with humans, but humans are moving towards victory step by step.
Different from directly using intimidation to turn things around, this kind of down-to-earth experience of moving forward step by step and carving a way out of a desperate situation is extremely valuable for a civilization. If I have to say it, without Lan Nuo, human beings would not be able to do these things.
Is it really impossible?
Not necessarily! Even if you can't rely on accelerators to capture sophons efficiently, you can still build long-distance spaceships carrying accelerators, each of which can take at least one sophon out of the solar system. I really want to strive for a few years.
With the rapid development of science and technology, it may not be impossible, but once we have a certain understanding of the microscopic world, it is not impossible to capture sophons by relying on human beings' own strength.
All this is done by humans themselves, and it may be slower, but if a civilization as a whole is determined to continue the struggle, even without Lan Nuo, it will only take longer to reach this point.
some time.
The cemetery fell into a long silence. Although every civilization has more or less epic and shocking processes in the development process, it is definitely rare like this. He couldn't help but give birth to a few.
The passion to continue fighting against this world.
They used to passionately believe that they could preserve the four-dimensional world, and they also spent their sweat and painstaking efforts to completely curb the fall of the dimension at their level. But in the end they failed and were trapped.
In this only puddle.
The passion that surged in their hearts was just a thought. Now they were left with only a few refugees from all over the world, trapped in a pool that might dry up completely in a hundred years. No matter how passionate they were, they could still
The ocean we once had cannot be restored.
"I have to admit that you are a very tenacious civilization. Even without my appearance, I think you can win this war by relying on your own abilities. It seems that my technology will be difficult to sell at a high price, but even if
Without an imminent existential crisis, you must be quite eager for technology that can enhance your ability to interfere with the material world!
Even if you can’t exchange for too many physical rules from other worlds, you can at least exchange for some physical rules from this world that are still applicable in other worlds!”
The cemetery also took a step back. The current situation is that Lan Nuo can set the price however he wants. Who makes him not a civilization now, but just a civilized individual.
"No problem, I can announce to you some of the physical laws that we have verified are basically the same in the two worlds, including classical physics. I can even tell you for free, in most worlds that we can travel through
In the world, mathematical laws and classical physics are universal. Classical physics may be changed to a certain extent in some worlds, but so far I have not seen a world where the mathematical laws are different from ours.
I have shown some of my sincerity, and now it is your turn. As a creature living in the four-dimensional world, you should know some advanced technologies that are extremely difficult for us to understand." Lan Nuo intuitively thinks that this time
Communicating will yield huge rewards.
"I have no way of judging whether our technology is difficult to understand. After all, my current thinking mode is still that of a four-dimensional creature. However, for your situation, there are several relatively simple technologies that can have immediate results.
For example, the space cutting you mentioned before, this technology can only be realized in four-dimensional space. I have not personally been to the three-dimensional world, so I don’t know how the three-dimensional world is cut. But cutting the four-dimensional space, for you,
It’s more meaningful. Let’s make the best use of this puddle that is about to dry up!
The so-called space cutting is actually to separate a piece of time and space from the universe, and then pack it into basic particles to curl up in microscopic medium and high dimensions. It is like a four-dimensional space, which can be easily packed into the five dimensions of microscopic particles.
, thus sealing this space-time and taking him out of his original location.
In fact, when civilization collectively reduces dimensions, some scientists use this method to retain their four-dimensional brains. However, due to technical limitations, the space that can be packed into a basic particle is usually not large. Even so,
Microscopic particles can be brought to the three-dimensional world. Living in such a small four-dimensional space is like living in a cage, and it is absolutely impossible to leave, because leaving is death.
Scientists have paid a lot for the continuation of civilization, and it is precisely because of their existence that our civilization can retain certain four-dimensional technologies even if it is dimensionally reduced.
Your controllable high-energy particles must be manufactured with the help of four-dimensional space! Then I think space cutting technology is very needed for you. After all, the puddle we are in will eventually dry up. Then
At that time, you were unable to produce controllable high-energy particles. Even if you could obtain Trisolaran technology and produce sophons, you would never be able to reach the current scale.
And if you can cut some space here before the last puddle dries up, then you can continue to maintain the ability to produce controllable high-energy particles for a period of time after the puddle dries up. During this period of time, you will be able to
The ability to interfere with the material world will not decline, and we can easily complete technological breakthroughs and get rid of our dependence on the four-dimensional space."
Lan Nuo nodded: "This is indeed a technology that is very meaningful to us, but with all due respect, when it comes to technology that divides time and space, is it really something we can do now? Although our understanding of the microscopic world is limited, the space-time
The degree of stability is probably much greater than anything we can make, so how can it be cut?"
The cemetery seemed to have finally taken back the initiative in the conversation: "The fact that you asked this question shows that your understanding of the four-dimensional space is not deep enough.
The higher the dimension, the freer the space. Your observation of the microscopic world is only based on the three-dimensional world, and you will naturally come to the conclusion that space and time are extremely stable, and this conclusion is not wrong. In three-dimensional space, it is more difficult to cut space.
There are so many, I am not even sure if my civilization can do this after it is reduced to human civilization, and this is actually the prerequisite technology for opening up a private universe.
The four-dimensional space will dry up so quickly. To some extent, this is because the threshold for this technology in the four-dimensional space is too low. Too many civilizations have established private universes, causing the universe's matter to drain away so quickly that today's universe
It is almost impossible to avoid the ending of zero.
While our puddle has not completely dried up, collect some four-dimensional matter! I will teach you how to process them and make them into equipment that can cut time and space. With your current understanding of microscopic things, you should be able to barely cut them.
The time and space that came down were packaged and put into microscopic particles."
It is said that when technology develops to a certain height, it looks like magic. As a promoter of technology and a person who understands all the internal principles, Lan Nuo has not experienced this kind of magic-like feeling for a long time.
Well, today I once again recalled this feeling of looking at black technology.
Even he couldn't immediately understand the technology described in the cemetery. It took a lot of energy to peel off the cocoons bit by bit and understand some of its principles.
But as the cemetery said, this technology is not too difficult. Using the remaining materials in the cemetery, they successfully assembled a space cutting device.
This process is basically carried out by the cemetery himself, because the mass of four-dimensional matter is too great for three-dimensional people. Their propellers require countless superpositions to push four-dimensional matter.
If we expect the scientific expedition fleet to assemble this equipment in person, we don’t know how long it will take until the year of the monkey. In contrast, if the cemetery assembles this equipment in person, it will be as simple as an ordinary repairman repairing a car.
After this period of getting along, Lan Nuo finally established a relatively complete geometric model of the four-dimensional creature called the cemetery. From Lan Nuo's perspective as a human, the image of the cemetery looks like a tentacle monster, which also has characteristics similar to humans.
The torso has the same center as the brain, but the number of limbs is far more than that of humans. If spread out in a three-dimensional world, there would be 256 limbs.
However, the cemetery does not feel that its image is strange at all: "This is a very common form of four-dimensional creatures, and it is the same in your three-dimensional world.
You probably haven't seen Trisolarans yet, right? But I estimate that they also have four or six limbs, and have organs that can use tools like your hands, and food also passes through their bodies through a pipe, and is then eaten.
After injecting entropy, it is discharged from the other end of the pipe.
Because this is the most reasonable layout in the three-dimensional world, it is a mathematical rule, just like creatures that can sense light are often bilaterally symmetrical, and creatures that cannot sense light are often centrally symmetrical.
And my current body structure is also one of the most reasonable layouts in the four-dimensional space. For us, 256 limbs and 512 limbs are both very reasonable layouts, and they are also the universe.
A life form commonly adopted by all major civilizations.
Of course, because we have an extra coordinate axis, the space is freer than in the three-dimensional world, so the forms of life that will appear are richer than in your three-dimensional world, and most intelligent creatures will not be like you.
The number of limbs is so monotonous as 468."
While the cemetery was modifying the space-time cutter, he was explaining to Lan Nuo the biological structure of their four-dimensional life. This was also one of the things Lan Nuo urgently needed to learn.
Learning the mathematical model of four-dimensional space is only the first step for him to increase his dimensionality. He also needs to know what cells in four-dimensional space look like and what kind of structures can replicate themselves in four-dimensional space as the basic building blocks for his body.
exist.
In the four-dimensional space, what kind of body structure is reasonable and can better cope with various situations.
"Okay, the transformation is almost completed. The technical details involve a lot of four-dimensional technologies. I can talk to you about them later. However, the four-dimensional space in this world has become less and less, and these technologies will basically not be used in the future.
This device cuts space and can probably cut out a sphere with a radius of five meters in your unit. To be precise, it should not be called a sphere. Your language does not describe the equal distance to a point in four-dimensional space.
Let’s call it a string ball as a word for a collection of points! In the future, when I mention the fourth coordinate axis, it will also be called a string, which is the length, width and height chord.
You can bring this string ball into the three-dimensional space, and you can store objects in the three-dimensional space in this ball, and this thing is equivalent to a portable space.
I saw that you previously tried to use the controllable high-energy particles you made to build a ring-shaped high-energy particle flow above your head to perform nuclear fusion in the three-dimensional world.
This kind of fusion ring is still too dangerous to put outside, and it will be affected by inertia. When you speed up or make sharp turns, it may not be able to keep up with you and become an easily destroyed target. And this thing
It can be placed inside the string ball, so you can use nuclear fusion energy without having to worry about your energy center being attacked."
Lan Nuo felt the string ball that had been implanted into the controllable high-energy particles, and his expression couldn't help but become weird. Why is this feeling of an extra space in the body so familiar? Could this thing be Qi Hai or Qi Hai?
