Chapter 242 Four-dimensional state.
Disappeared very quickly?
Chen Fan was skeptical about the planet spirit's statement. From the previous communication process, it can be seen that this planetary silicon-based life in front of him has no concept of time at all.
What happened more than half a year ago just happened. The asteroid collision not long ago actually happened more than two thousand years ago...
Chen Fan has reason to suspect that the strange phenomenon that he said "disappeared very quickly" may have lasted for several months.
It is even possible that it just disappeared a few days ago!
Chen Fan calmed down and continued to communicate with this chatty planet spirit who was not interested in the world.
[Can you explain the distorted vision in detail? ]
Chen Fan decided to start with the information of "distorted perspective".
As far as he knows now, whether it is a wormhole or a dimensional transformation, as long as the process involves the change of time and space, there will be distortion.
[This... How should I explain it to you? ]
[In short, there was a dizziness in front of my eyes, and everything became blurred. ]
Looking at the information emerging in the chat interface, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh.
The gap between carbon-based and silicon-based was completely revealed at this moment.
It was a bit too much to ask this planet spirit to describe the scene of a scientific research ship crash!
But thinking that there was only one eyewitness to the whole thing, Chen Fan was patient and tried to change his words to guide him to tell some key and important information.
Just when Chen Fan was very entangled, Isa, who had been writing and drawing on the holographic panel, suddenly raised her head.
"How about... let me try?"
Isa asked in a soft voice, and showed the holographic panel in front of her to Chen Fan.
The panel was a strange picture that was difficult to describe in words.
The main body of the painting was composed of crooked lines. The closer to the center area, the more exaggerated the distortion of the lines. At the edge of the picture, these lines became relatively smooth.
Chen Fan's mind suddenly emerged with the magical perspective seen with the help of the mechanical eyeball-the electric field and magnetic field were like waves diffused in the air, and the [Varilla] was like a small boat, pushing away the closed water waves and moving slowly forward.
"This is..."
Chen Fan cast an inquiring look at Isa.
Isa lowered her eyes slightly: "When I passed through the star gate, I saw some magnetic field changes."
"I thought that if the research ship also produced some special space-time fluctuations, it might also cause such magnetic field changes."
It was well-reasoned and convincing.
Chen Fan did not hesitate at all and directly gave an order to Yi: "Yi, send this painting to this planetary spirit and see how he reacts."
"Star... Planetary spirit?"
Isa was stunned when she heard this name. When she realized that this name was used to describe the planetary silicon-based life, her mouth corners slightly raised, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her pretty cheeks.
...
Soon, this picture drawn by Isa was transmitted to this planetary silicon-based life in the form of an electrical signal.
As for whether the other party can understand the meaning of this string of electrical signals...
In Yi's words: there is no need to worry about this problem at all.
As a silicon-based life, processing this kind of information can be said to be an innate talent and ability.
Sure enough.
After waiting for a moment, a series of dense information popped up in the holographic projection in front of Chen Fan.
[Yes, yes, that's the feeling of distortion!]
[Also, the distortion in the center of the picture is a little more serious, it looks like a black hole?]
[It can't be called a hole, it should be a strange ball... By the way, I can't see the scene in that black ball, just like you.]
[By the way, how do you know this feeling?]
[Are you and I the same kind? No, my elder brother didn't say that we have relatives...]
[Hey, do you know my elder brother?]
Seeing that the other party's words became more and more intensive, Chen Fan hurriedly turned on the shielding function manually.
The world was quiet again.
"Black hole, or black ball."
Chen Fan stared at the information in the holographic interface, and some guesses had already emerged in his mind.
If the electric field and magnetic field coverage area is the visual range of this silicon-based creature, then the so-called black sphere should be something that can completely shield the electric field and magnetic field.
Just like the full-power barrier of the [Varilla]. Not
to mention the electric field and magnetic field, even the gravitational field of the outside world cannot pass through it.
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and murmured in a low voice: "Is it a wormhole?"
But after thinking carefully, he quickly rejected his guess - the black box signal of the research ship is still in this area. If the so-called "black ball" is a wormhole, then the current research ship signal should be tens of thousands of miles away.
In this way, the answer is already very clear.
"The black ball seen by this planet spirit is the body of the research ship."
After the voice fell, Gao Yuan cast a confused look at Chen Fan: "But, the shape of the research ship is not..."
"Shuttle-shaped, right?" Chen Fan took over the conversation with a smile, and at the same time reached out to call up the real picture of the TE913 research ship.
It was a starship with an overall shuttle shape.
Although the overall length reached two kilometers, it still did not get rid of the category of small starships.
In the picture, the streamlined ship body glowed with a faint metallic luster under the illumination of high-power star lights.
Unlike the investigator starship, each research ship can be regarded as the crystallization of the highest technology of the human alliance. Although the scale is not large, the various functions it is equipped with are definitely the best.
"But what if... this research ship is not three-dimensional, but four-dimensional?"
Facing Gao Yuan and Isa's somewhat confused eyes, Chen Fan said softly: "To be precise, what the planet spirit saw is very likely just a small projection of the four-dimensional research ship in the three-dimensional universe."
"One, calculate the possibility of this situation."
The electronic synthesis voice sounded quickly, and the research ship model in the holographic projection also changed several directions: "This possibility does exist."
"At a certain angle, the four-dimensional research ship can indeed present a standard spherical structure."
Solve the case!
Chen Fan took a deep breath and calmed down his agitated mood.
No wonder they couldn't find the crashed research ship!
It turned out that the two were not in the same dimension at all!
"Then... where did the projection of the research ship go?"
Isa's question instantly brought Chen Fan back to square one. He frowned and looked up at the narrow and deep starry sky outside the porthole.
Yes, where did the projection of the research ship go?
Why did the projection of the four-dimensional research ship disappear? Is it still in the four-dimensional universe now?
"Theoretically, if the research ship is in the four-dimensional state, we can clearly find it when we were sailing in the abyss." Yi's words covered the whereabouts of the research ship with a heavy veil again. "Unlike three-dimensional objects, four-dimensional objects will be much more conspicuous outside the universe bubble."
Chen Fan's frowned brows slightly relaxed: "Imagination is useless."
"Since it is confirmed that the research ship was in the four-dimensional state before it disappeared, let's go to the four-dimensional universe to take a look."
"Yi, prepare the starship to upgrade!"
When issuing this command, Chen Fan couldn't help but secretly rejoice for a few seconds.
Fortunately, he went to the Dangerous Technology Administration before carrying out the research ship investigation mission. Considering that the previous mission had already involved five-dimensional navigation, and the subsequent investigation object was a high-end starship of the human alliance such as a research ship, Academician Song Ziliang allocated some investigation funds to carry out a simple transformation and upgrade of the [Varilla].
Now he has the hardware foundation to open a private five-dimensional sightseeing group.
...
Knowing that the [Varilla] was going to leave temporarily, the planet spirit was immediately excited.
[Ah?! Why are you leaving suddenly? Didn't we have a good chat just now? ]
[I understand, do you think I'm too noisy? ]
[Actually, I can shut up and not talk. You can chat with me for a while, just for a while! ]
[...]
Looking at the information flashing rapidly in the "chat interface", Chen Fan laughed dumbly.
Although this silicon-based creature has lived for a long time, to be honest, his mentality is probably similar to that of a child.
After making a series of assurances and promises, the planet spirit reluctantly bid farewell to the Varela.
The special wire slowly retracted into the belly of the starship, and the khaki-colored Varela began to rise slowly.
The arcs of dark blue and golden yellow spread rapidly along the almost vertical rift stone wall, following the starship all the way, as if seeing off the Varela. "
The electric and magnetic fields outside the starship have become a little stronger."
Isa's left eye flashed with a dim blue light, and her expression was slightly melancholy: "He is saying goodbye to us."
"Sir Chen Fan, will we come back after we find the research ship?"
"Yes." Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "This is a life form that the Human Union has never discovered. No matter what the reason is, I will definitely not let him fall into destruction alone in this empty universe."
The light in Isa's eyes suddenly brightened a little.
She nodded vigorously, her smooth silver hair swaying up and down, and at the same time, she squeezed out a little nasal sound from her nose: "Hmm!"
[The starship is about to start upgrading.]
After leaving the Great Rift Valley, a prompt message quickly appeared on the main console: [Are you sure?]
"Confirm the upgrade!"
As the order was issued, a subtle vibration came from the deck under his feet.
The pure energy generated by the vacuum zero-point energy reactor rushed into the corresponding upgrade device along the energy path, and a faint shadow appeared on the [Varilla] quietly suspended in the air.
The shape of the shadow gradually solidified, and the original olive-shaped [Varilla] quickly turned into a four-dimensional structure with a constantly changing shape.
[The first upgrade was successful.]
[Current dimension: four-dimensional.]
As the prompt message flashed in the holographic interface, the scene outside the porthole also changed dramatically.
It was a brilliant and extremely vast space, and all the details in the three-dimensional universe were clearly presented in Chen Fan's eyes!
