Chapter 174

In the central conference room of area a of the earth times, Captain Zhao said, "ladies and gentlemen, this disaster is the biggest disaster since our whole voyage. Less than half of area m in our living area has been destroyed, with more than 6000 tons of leaked air. It is even difficult to confirm the source of the disaster... In addition, two unfortunate people are still missing. "

"So the theme of this meeting is how to deal with that high-dimensional fragment, whether the relevant rescue matters are carried out, and... How to repair the spacecraft..."

"Now, let's invite Mr. Zhang Yuan, the only survivor at present, to bring first-hand information about high-dimensional debris."

Zhang Yuan organized the language and said what he said in the morning as it is.

Although the people below have heard the relevant retelling, it is still silent at the moment, and everyone is listening carefully.

If you haven't really seen it, even mathematicians, it's quite difficult to visualize the fourth dimension, not to mention the fifth dimension and the sixth dimension, which can only be calculated in the equation, but can't be imagined intuitively.

"Mr. Zhang, is it really nine dimensions?"

Zhang Yuan replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure. Everything is just speculation. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I find it difficult to describe the specific situation with the help of human language and imagination. There are relevant videos in the camera of the spacesuit. I suggest that the relevant expert team can carry out a series of research. "

There was a heated discussion at the bottom. For many physicists, they were almost in a fanatical attitude towards this matter.

Soon, another woman asked the question in her heart: "then, Mr. Zhang Yuan, do you think there is no value of rescue? The two soldiers who were unfortunately sucked in%... "

Zhang Yuan paused for a while and said, "to tell you the truth, I don't know how to rescue. Because I only saw myself in that space, not both of them. The surrounding is real nothingness... "

"Do you know the concept of nothingness?"

"Just... No, it's different from the emptiness in the universe. It's really 'nothing'! If you reach the edge of the universe, it may be what I see. "

"So, I'm thinking that every inhaled object may be assigned to different spaces."

"Before we fully understand the nature of the high-dimensional debris itself, we are unlikely to find out where they are... So the probability of rescue is very low."

At this point, several girls have quietly cried. They may be relatives and friends of the victims.

In such a large conference room, only this whine lingered in my ears, and everyone else was silent. This kind of big truth sounds very cruel, but it is a fact. In the face of the confused position that non-human can resist, conservatism is the best strategy.

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart. He didn't say a word, although he didn't know the time passage ratio between the high-dimensional world and the real world. But according to the time he felt, it was almost 1:1. Whether the oxygen was exhausted or the energy was exhausted, they would disappear in that space. Those two brothers really have little chance of survival.

However, with a responsible attitude, he still wants to say so. High dimensional debris is so dangerous that he can't even guarantee that he can escape for the second time after being inhaled again, let alone others.

After a few minutes of silence and discussion, Zhang Yuan's message ended here.

Next, the second expert spoke.

This is an old expert in charge of spacecraft safety. He is the dean of the school of mechanics of Deep Space University. His hair is gray.

"Look, this is the high-dimensional fragment. It should be the creation of an advanced civilization, not born naturally. "

A robot is investigating in the room, and the detected picture is released on the screen.

Zhang Yuanning looked carefully and found that it was just a broken glass the size of a fingernail. It lay quietly on the floor, without luminescence, nor did it produce the so-called attraction, nor swallowed up the substances in the floor.

This thing is an irregular glass slag shape!

"Is it the so-called warping point? Why did it become a matter in three-dimensional space? Or is the warping point hidden in this glass residue? "

A series of questions surfaced in Zhang Yuan's mind.

"First of all, it seems to have no mass..." after a few seconds, the old man said in a voice: "or the mass is so small that we can't detect it with a robot... It's an unknown material we don't know."

"However, this fragment can have a slight electromagnetic interaction with the material on the floor, so it can lie on the floor."

"Secondly, it seems that we can't control its opening time. The first time I opened it was when I hit the ship. I don't know how many seconds it lasted. The second opening was when Mr. Zhang escaped. It lasted 24.4 seconds... It's been so many days that he hasn't opened the third time yet. "

"Every time it is opened, it will generate a gravitational acceleration of 6.2 meters every second, forming a strong attraction. And devour all substances within a radius of 2.2 meters. "

Another video is beginning to play on the screen: the photosphere is absorbing aerogels on the floor, but the gravitational force of 6.2 meters per two seconds is obviously not strong enough to absorb at all.

But after 3. seconds, the aerogel on the floor suddenly disappeared, and there was a big hole with a radius of 2.2 meters.

"Soft things will be sucked in, hard substances... It can only last for 3.1 seconds at most, and then form a small circle with a radius of 2.2 meters."

The high-frequency camera did not capture the time when the large hole appeared at all. Whether the picture was delayed hundreds of times or thousands of times, the hole that did not exist in the previous frame appeared out of thin air in the next frame.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath. With this strange imagination, he didn't know what it meant.

Captain Zhao heard this and said, "well, if you confirm that there is no way to rescue the two soldiers, will you throw this debris into space to ensure the safety of the spacecraft, or continue to study it and find out more things?"

This thing is a time bomb. Once it happens, it will cause great damage to the spacecraft. There is no container to keep it. Maybe, it will swallow a lot of researchers.

Even if Zhang Yuan has found a way to escape, at that time, not everyone can escape as it is.

Another old man stood up: "... Throwing it out is a very reasonable plan. We are close to our destination. As long as we sail for another 300 years, we can reach our future home star. We have inherited most of the science and technology of the earth's civilization and have the history of new civilization as a guide. In this case, why bother? "

Zhang Yuan frowned and did not comment for the time being.

Captain Zhao asked, "can we calculate whether to stay or lose based on the history of new civilization?"

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and replied, "sorry, there is no way to calculate. We can't have a mathematical model of such an accident... "

"But in the face of more advanced scientific and technological creations, if the risk is controllable, the probability of negative events is relatively small."
