At that moment, I seemed to have lost myself and was completely lost. Although my mind was clear, I could not think of any way to escape this weird feeling.
There is no concept of time, moment after moment, it seems as long as a century, and as short as a second. I don’t know how long it has passed, but I can feel an invisible force pulling me in one direction.
, is like a huge magnet, and I am just a tiny iron filing.
This power continued, and after an unknown amount of time, the chaotic feeling suddenly disappeared, and the whole person fell to the ground like a thrown stone.
Everything returned to normal at this moment, and the sense of confusion disappeared. I could feel myself lying on the cold ground, and my left leg, knee, and elbows of both hands were probably knocked.
The flashlight was still emitting a pale yellow light. Not far in front of me, Li Fusheng was also lying on the ground. I turned my head with difficulty, and then I saw the little ruffian.
The three of us lay here for two minutes before fully waking up from the aftermath of the chaos and slowly getting up. I don't know where this place is, I can only feel that it is an irregular hole. We
We sat together and checked each other. Except for a slight bump, no one was injured. I patted my head vigorously, fearing that my brain would be damaged by the confusion, but I could tell that I was normal.
"Is everything okay?" Li Fusheng rubbed his forehead. He might have been knocked down, but there was a big bump on his forehead.
"What the hell." The little ruffian was not as calm as Li Fusheng. He looked around and said, "Where is this place? What happened just now?"
"I can't tell clearly." I shook my head, but I already knew in my heart that Kuang Haige and the others must have experienced the same experience as us. Now it is obviously not inside the drainage system, but in another place. This place is very
Stranger, if we can't find the way, we may be like Kuang Haige and others, unable to go back.
I didn't know what happened just now, so I naturally looked at Li Fusheng. In my impression, he was a know-it-all, and there was nothing he didn't know.
"I can't make a judgment, let me think about it, think about it..." Li Fusheng slowly took out a bottle of water from his backpack. Nothing on us was lost. I also checked my backpack, which was intact.
.
Li Fusheng was thinking, and the little gangster and I exchanged our opinions in a low voice. However, we had never encountered such a situation before. It was very strange, so we couldn't explain it after talking for a long time. At this time, Li Fusheng put down his hand.
bottle, and said to us: "Did you have a confusing feeling that time and space were divided just now?"
"Yes, yes." The little ruffian slapped his thigh and said, "I feel this way in my heart, but I can't describe it. But you are literate and spoke out my heart."
"Is that our illusion?" I asked, "Is there some hallucinogenic substance that we can't see?"
I feel deeply about hallucinations. The strange fox I met in the dense forests of Northeast China struck me hard. That kind of hallucination is so real that people can hardly notice that they don't know when they are already in it.
In a dreamland.
"That's definitely not an illusion. Hallucinations can only affect your thinking, but they can't affect external objects." Li Fusheng took out his dagger, scratched the ground, and said, "The place we are in now is real.
It’s not an illusion.”
I was dumbfounded. If it wasn't an illusion, I really didn't know how to explain it.
"Have you thought of something?" The little ruffian and Li Fusheng didn't care at all and asked directly: "Just tell me what comes to mind, don't hide it."
"I'm just judging." Li Fusheng looked at us and said: "A very weird hypothesis, involving the field of time and space, because this hypothesis was put forward by an unknown person, and it is too subjective, so it has never been taken seriously by anyone.
Pass."
"What hypothesis?"
"Space-time grid."
What Li Fusheng said is just a hypothesis. Until the level of science and technology reaches a certain level, it will always be just a hypothesis. This hypothesis is based on the dislocation and transformation of time and space, and is mixed with many difficult-to-understand theories of time and space.
Therefore, if it were explained in a normal narrative way, few people would be able to understand it. Li Fusheng's explanation was simplistic and only told us the most straightforward part of the hypothesis.
The basis for this hypothesis is to first believe that time and space can extend and develop in a direction beyond common sense. To put it simply, it means time travel. From this point in time, through some means, such as a subatomic wormhole, and then transfer to another
Go through time and space.
This sounds amazing, but if one day in the future, human science and technology reaches a certain level, the hypothesis is not completely impossible to become a reality. There are things on the earth that can travel through time and space, such as the subatomic wormhole mentioned earlier.
Assuming that the technological level is up to par, it can be manufactured manually.
"Let's use an analogy. If the hypothesis of time travel is established, you can go back to a certain point in time in the past from your current location, or go to a certain point in time in the future. That is a magical journey." Li
Fu Sheng smiled, touched the bag on his forehead, and said, "But we may not be able to wait for that day in our lifetime."
"Can you please get to the point? Don't tell me a science fiction story." The little ruffian gave us cigarettes and then urged Li Fusheng to continue.
"But there is a problem here." Li Fusheng said: "After the assumption of time travel is established, you can guarantee that you can reach a certain time point and space, but you cannot guarantee that you can return to the time point from which you started.
and space. That is to say, you left happily, but you couldn't control the laws of time. As a result, when you came back after all the hard work, you found that your first girlfriend had died two centuries ago."
"I probably understand, what next?"
"The hypothesis of the space-time lattice was born based on this problem." Li Fusheng said: "But to turn it into reality, it must be supported by powerful scientific and technological theories and equipment."
The hypothesis of the space-time grid is to delineate an area. The size of this area is related to the scientific level. If the scientific and technological level can keep up, then it is completely okay to demarcate this area between two adjacent galaxies. On the contrary, if the level
If the area is limited, then the area may be only as big as a room. After the area is demarcated, it is divided into several partitions of roughly the same size. Each partition is equivalent to a grid in the area, and precise processing is required in between.
For calculations, each grid has its own concept of time and space. For example, if you stand in this grid and the time point is now, then if you step into another grid, it may be three days later.
A large number of grids are densely scattered in this area, and based on strong technological level, no matter you go to any grid, you can return to the original starting point through a correct path.
Returning to the original starting point, this is the ultimate goal of the space grid hypothesis, to avoid possible loss in time and space travel.
"You mean?" I asked doubtfully, "The passage we passed through just now is a space-time grid?"
"I'm just saying it's possible, but I'm not completely sure."
"Then tell me, where are we now?" The little ruffian interrupted, looking a little surprised. He glanced around and said, "Didn't you say that there is a grid that allows you to return to the starting point?"
"Do you know what the starting point is?" Li Fusheng said: "If the space-time grid covers the galaxy, then it is normal for you to come back from the Sagittarius constellation and be transported to the moon. The moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, but
In the space-time journey of the galaxy, 380,000 kilometers is as insignificant as one centimeter, and this error can almost be ignored."
"Then what you're saying is that we can't be sure whether we are still in the underground space of the mine or not?"
"It should still be there." Li Fusheng stood up and said: "If that passage is a space-time grid, then the range will be very small and the error will be very small. I think Kuang Haige and the others should not be too far away from us."
I don't know how big the space is now. Although I haven't seen Kuang Hai Pavilion or anything they left behind, I think that if they had arrived here, they would definitely find another way and would not be able to stay where they were.
This space was relatively large and relatively humid. After the three of us recovered, we began to search. In order not to lose our way, we started walking forward along the stone wall on the right. After walking for a while, I felt that this
It's a hole in the ground, but it's hard to say how far it is from the ground.
Li Fusheng took us just a few steps away when the flashlight beam moved to the stone wall beside me. Through the light, I saw a very obvious mark on the damp stone wall. The mark was carved with a dagger. It was conspicuous and clear.
, I could tell at a glance that it had just been engraved not long ago. Looking at this mark, I was refreshed. This was definitely the mark left by Kuang Haige. When passing through the time and space grid, he could do nothing, but when the situation allowed,
, he will definitely leave marks along the way. As long as you follow the marks, you might find him.
Li Fusheng had obviously thought of this, and we immediately quickened our pace. There were signs on the stone walls one after another, and one would appear after a while. This was a good sign, and we walked relatively smoothly. The stone walls of the cave were not straight.
, knowing how to turn according to the terrain, we walked down the road in one breath following the marks. After walking for about twenty minutes, Li Fusheng stopped again. At the same time, the little ruffian and I couldn't help but gasp.
Cool air.
Under the light of the flashlight, we saw an empty bottle not far ahead. It was the empty bottle left after drinking water during the previous break. This means that after we walked for so long following the mark left by Kuang Haige, we finally got there.
We have returned to the starting point, which means that we have actually made a full circle around this hole.
But this is not the most fatal problem. The problem is that we went around a full circle and did not find any exit, not even the narrowest exit. What does this mean? It can only mean that this underground cave seems to be
