Chapter 169

In the central conference room of area a of the earth age, Captain Zhao said, "ladies and gentlemen, this disaster is the biggest disaster since our whole voyage. Less than half of our living quarters have been destroyed, and more than 6000 tons of air have been leaked. It is even difficult to identify the source of the disaster Moreover, there are two unfortunate people who have not been found for the time being. "

"So the theme of this meeting is how to deal with that piece of high-dimensional debris, whether related rescue matters are carried out, and How to repair the spaceship... "

"Next, let's welcome 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 had said in the morning.

Although the people at the bottom have heard the related retelling, they are still silent at the moment, and everyone is listening carefully.

If you haven't really seen it, even mathematicians, it's very difficult to visualize the fourth dimension. What's more, the fifth dimension and the sixth dimension can only be calculated in equations, but they can't be visualized.

"Mr. Zhang, are there really nine dimensions?"

Zhang Yuan replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure. It's all speculation. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I find it difficult to describe the specific situation with the help of human language and imagination. There are related videos in the camera of the spacesuit, and I suggest that the relevant expert team can carry out a series of studies. "

There is a heated discussion below. For many physicists, they are almost in a fanatical attitude towards this matter.

Soon, another woman asked the question in her heart, "well, Mr. Zhang Yuan, do you think there is no value in rescue? Those two soldiers who were unfortunately inhaled... "

Zhang Yuan stopped 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 real nothingness is around... "

"Do you know the concept of nothingness?"

"That is 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 object that is inhaled may be allocated to a different space."

"We are unlikely to find out where the two of them are until we fully understand the nature of the high-dimensional fragments themselves So the probability of rescue is very low. "

At this point, there have been several girls crying quietly, they may be relatives and friends of the victims.

In such a big conference room, only this kind of whine voice lingered in my ears, and other people were silent. This kind of big truth sounds very cruel, but it is a fact. In the face of the position where the non-human can resist, conservatism is the best strategy.

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart. He didn't know how much time passed between the high-dimensional world and the real world. But according to the time he feels, it's almost 1:1. Whether it's oxygen depletion or energy depletion, they will 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 a second time after being inhaled, let alone others.

After a few minutes of silence and discussion, Zhang Yuan's message came to an end.

Then came the second expert.

This is an old expert in charge of spacecraft safety, Dean of School of mechanical engineering, deep space University. His hair has turned gray.

"Look, this is the high-dimensional fragment. It should be the creation of some advanced civilization, not the natural birth. "

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

Zhang Yuanning looked carefully and found that it was just a piece of broken glass the size of a fingernail. It lay quietly on the floor, no light, no so-called attraction, not to eat up the material in the floor.

This is an irregular shape of glass slag!

"It's the so-called warping point? Why does it become a matter in three-dimensional space? Or is the warpage hidden in this glass slag? "

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

"First of all, it doesn't seem to have quality..." After a few seconds, the old man said, "or the mass is so small that we can't detect it with a robot It's unknown material that we don't know. "

"But this piece of debris can have a slight electromagnetic interaction with the material on the floor, so it can lie on the floor obediently."

"Second, we don't seem to have a way of timing it. The first time I opened it was when I hit the spaceship. I don't know how many seconds it lasted. The second time, when Mr. Zhang escaped, it lasted 244 seconds It's been so many days. It hasn't been opened for the third time yet. "

"Every time it is turned on, it will generate a gravitational acceleration of 62 meters every second, forming a strong attraction. And gobble up everything within a radius of 22 meters. "On the screen, another video bulb is playing on the aerogel on the floor. However, the gravitational force of 62 meters per two seconds is obviously not strong enough to absorb at all.

but after 31 seconds, the aerogel on the floor suddenly disappeared, and there was a big hole with a radius of 22 meters.

"Soft things are sucked in, hard things It can only last 31 seconds at most, and then form a small circle with a radius of 22 meters. "

High frequency cameras don't capture the time when big holes appear at all. Regardless of delaying the picture hundreds of times or thousands of times, holes that haven't been seen in the previous frame appear in the next frame.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, this strange imagination, he did not know what it meant.

When Captain Zhao heard this, he said, "well, if you confirm that there is no way to rescue the two soldiers, do you want to throw the 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 breaks out, 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, not everyone will be able to escape in the same way.

Another old man stood up Throwing it out is a very reasonable solution. We are close to our destination. In 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 we are guided by the history of the new civilization. In this case, why should we cut corners

Zhang Yuan frowned and did not express his opinion for the time being.

Captain Zhao then asked, "can we calculate whether to stay or lose on the basis of new civilization historiography?"

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said, "sorry, there's no way to calculate. We can't have a mathematical model for this kind of accident... "

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