On one of the timelines, the time ring spacecraft responsible for investigating here discovered a huge translucent thing attached to one side of the timeline.
Although the timeline appears small in four-dimensional space and time, in three-dimensional space and time, every time node of the timeline is an infinite sea of universe.
As for that unknown creature, the cross-sectional node part of its body can cover almost one-fifth of the infinite cosmic sea.
As for the length, according to the detection data of the ultra-dimensional detection system, the unknown creature is about 13,000 years old.
The time dimension in four-dimensional space-time can be said to be a unit of time or a unit of space. This is the essence of four-dimensionality.
The reconnaissance spacecraft carefully detected. Ghost agent Yin Donghua was the captain of the spacecraft and the leader of the ghost agent team.
"Team leader, this long insect doesn't seem to have noticed us." A ghost agent turned around and reported.
Yin Donghua was still extremely cautious: "I know, continue to keep a distance and conduct reconnaissance."
"clear."
The spacecraft not only maintains a distance, but also constantly changes its position. When facing unknown creatures, it is better to be more careful.
The main shape of the translucent long worm is like a millipede, and the side of its body close to the timeline is densely covered with "suckers". It is the existence of this sucker that allows it to be firmly attached to the timeline.
"Team leader, we have a new discovery."
The ghost agent transmitted the findings, and some analysis data popped up on the virtual display in front of Yin Donghua.
This creature is named "Ancient Snake of Time". From these data, we can discover something.
On the timeline occupied by the ancient snake of time, in addition to the suckers at the bottom, both sides of it are covered with layers of flat cavities. A liquid substance flows out of the flat cavities. When this liquid substance comes into contact with the timeline interface
, will be quickly integrated into the timeline.
Yin Donghua turned his head and shouted: "A Ming."
"Here, what's the matter, team leader?" A Ming responded.
"Conduct a careful technical analysis of the liquid injected into the timeline by the Ancient Time Snake, and allow us to borrow the scientific analysis supercomputer from the headquarters."
"Okay, leave it to me."
The cabin of the spaceship was immersed in silence, and everyone was busy busy.
Although the liquid of the Ancient Time Snake was not obtained, because that liquid was injected into the timeline, the timeline is a four-dimensional structure composed of countless three-dimensional space-time nodes.
Therefore, the ancient snake liquid entered three-dimensional space-time and was forced to reduce its dimensionality.
This situation allowed the ghost agents to use the ultra-dimensional detection system to analyze some of the three-dimensional characteristics of the ancient snake liquid from a four-dimensional height.
Coupled with the support of the headquarters, after more than ten days of analysis on the role of the ancient snake liquid in three-dimensional time and space, some results were finally achieved.
"Team leader, this is the analysis report of the ancient snake liquid."
After receiving Amin's analysis report, Yin Donghua read it carefully for a while: "So, the ancient snake liquid functions as digestive juice, and those suckers also have a function, which is to suck the digested things back into the body.
"
What the Ancient Snake does on the timeline can be seen as eating.
The flat cavity on the side of the body spits out the ancient snake liquid. The ancient snake liquid is injected into the time period. When the ancient snake liquid enters the three-dimensional space-time, it immediately becomes a very tiny zero-dimensional point.
Moreover, these zero-dimensional points are extremely terrifying. They possess some four-dimensional rules and can be easily integrated into this time node.
Through the analysis and observation of the ultra-dimensional detection system, as soon as the ancient snake liquid enters a time node, everything at this time node will enter a stagnant state in an instant.
In that state, it's as if time has stopped, and even microscopic particles and zero-dimensional points at the bottom of the dimension have fallen into absolute stillness.
At this time, the suckers of the ancient snake will suck back the zero-dimensional point derived from the liquid of the ancient snake.
However, it is not absorbed all at once. At every time point when the ancient snake liquid is injected, the zero-dimensional point of the ancient snake in ordinary matter is the first to be sucked away by the suction cup.
Because the ancient snake of time is advancing all the time, the suction cups at the bottom of its body will gradually absorb the zero-dimensional points of the ancient snake within the time node.
When the ancient snake's zero-dimensional point was sucked away from the three-dimensional matter, those three-dimensional matter immediately collapsed and turned into countless irregular fragments.
Moreover, according to relevant investigations, the irregular fragments in the three-dimensional space and time on the 14 timelines swallowed by the ancient snake of time are in an irrecoverable state.
This situation presents a completely different situation from the irregular fragments seen before.
In the past, whether it was irregular fragments caused by failed two-dimensional dimension upgrades or irregular fragments caused by dimension-enhancement weapons, the irregular fragments could be repaired through a certain degree of technology.
However, after being swallowed by the ancient snake of time, the remaining irregular fragments were difficult to repair, as if they had been completely destroyed into pieces.
Even the superstate particle creations left by the new humans at the time node will be digested into irregular fragments by the ancient snake of time.
The situation before us is indeed somewhat unexpected.
Yin Donghua raised his head: "A Ming, what did the Office of Scientific Advisers say?"
"I also sent the analysis report, and the response from the Scientific Advisory Office was that it cannot be repaired for the time being, and they are contacting the Science and Technology Commission."
Putting down the documents, Yin Donghua then ordered: "Intensify the investigation. I want to know the internal situation of the ancient snake, but be careful in everything."
"Understood, I will pay attention."
The investigation continued, but as the investigation deepened, the ghost agents also encountered big trouble.
The ancient snake liquid spitted out by the ancient snake during the period, the zero-dimensional point of the ancient snake, and external characteristics are not difficult.
And when they wanted to go deep into the body of the Ancient Time Snake, as a four-dimensional creature, the body's defense mechanism was extremely tight, and the ghost agents could not find a breakthrough.
Even though we can now use the time ring spaceship to avoid being swallowed by the ancient snake of time, evading all the time is not the style of the new humans.
In addition, we must be careful of the time when the ancient snake is aware of the problem, so the sooner we can find out the details of the other party, the better it will be for the new human race.
Yin Donghua could only send a report to the ghost headquarters and ask for more support.
Standing on the observation deck of the spacecraft, he looked at the timeline in the distance. The ancient snake of time was rapidly eating away at the timeline, just like a bug that was constantly eating away at the timeline.
The Ancient Snake does not seem to have much IQ, but Yin Donghua does not take it lightly. One cannot make any hasty conclusions before truly understanding the other person.
If the other party is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, why don't you just go and deliver the food?
The Ghost Headquarters also quickly mobilized a large number of personnel, as well as the newly built time ring spacecraft, and sent them to Yin Donghua.
In addition, the Science and Technology Committee is also paying attention to this matter. The existence of the ancient snake is the first four-dimensional creature that new mankind has faced. A living four-dimensional creature has great scientific research value.
At that time, the ancient snake was immersed in eating, until one day, its front was approaching the time node of 2011 AD.
It suddenly stopped, less than 120 years after the time of 2011 AD.
After lingering for a moment, the ancient snake curled up without hesitation, and then returned to the future along the timeline it had eaten.
