Chapter 587 Activating the Duality of Virtual and Real
"Captain!"
Fang Yunsheng's voice had just fallen when an officer's exclamation came from the side.
"The situation... the situation seems to be a little wrong!"
"What?!"
Fang Yunsheng was shocked and quickly turned to look at the panicked officer not far away.
"What happened?"
Fang Yunsheng stood up from his seat, walked quickly to the officer, and then asked in a deep voice: "Did the coordinates of the battleship get exposed?"
"Or did the battleship encounter difficulties when leaving the cosmic bubble?"
After successfully establishing contact with the Academy of Sciences, Fang Yunsheng sent a main battleship to try to leave the cosmic bubble to explore the hyperspace membrane at the suggestion of the Academy of Sciences.
The reason is simple.
If you want to destroy the black hole jump channel of the Apophis civilization, it is definitely not feasible to shrink in this remote area that is 10,000 standard spans away from the mother universe.
"None of them..."
The officer stared at the rapidly changing complex parameters on the holographic interface in front of him in amazement: "The exploration warship has successfully left the cosmic bubble and officially entered the hyperspace membrane area, but..."
"Just what?"
Fang Yunsheng asked impatiently.
"It's just that the various parameters sent back by the warship... are a bit strange." The officer held it in for a long time, and finally added with a strange look, "If these parameters are true, the scale of the cosmic bubble we are in..."
"Maybe it's a little big."
"A little big?" Fang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked back, "Isn't it just a cosmic bubble? How big can this thing grow?"
"No matter how big it is, can it exceed the artificial main cosmic bubble of the Human Union?"
The officer suddenly fell silent: "..."
Looking at the increasingly strange expression on the officer's face, Fang Yunsheng finally realized the problem.
"No, it won't?"
His tone was a little dry.
"Beep! Beep!"
A slight prompt sound rang, and the brief silence in the command center was also broken.
"...The image data has been transmitted back."
The officer raised his hand and operated on the holographic interface: "You...you should take a look yourself."
Swish!
The interface that was originally filled with various complex parameters was instantly enlarged, and a strange picture appeared in front of Fang Yunsheng.
The first thing that caught his eye was a huge, but extremely familiar twisted "net".
It was the hyperspace membrane itself.
Although the quadrants were different and the basic rules were different, the appearance of the hyperspace membrane did not change much.
Then, as the observation angle changed, a "city wall" with no end in sight rose from the huge hyperspace membrane.
The city wall stretched across the hyperspace membrane area, almost blocking all vision to explore the distance.
It was also for this reason that the whole picture looked extremely dim-the bizarre scenes in the human-linked universe were impossible to see in this area.
But what really shocked Fang Yunsheng was the countless hideous spikes that were randomly distributed on this "city wall"!
These spikes formed twisted lines extending in all directions near the hyperspace membrane. Fang Yunsheng felt a little uncomfortable after just a glance.
"Hiss..."
He took a breath and said to the officer beside him who was also in a daze in a tentative tone: "This thing...could it be the universe bar we are in?"
"..."
The officer swallowed his saliva. Although he had prepared himself mentally with the support of various data, his voice still trembled when he saw this scene that was beyond normal cognition: "If the exploration data is correct..."
"Damn it! How big is this thing!!" Fang Yunsheng subconsciously used curses to cover up the shock and fear in his heart.
"Wait a minute, the exploration ship has sent back high-precision curvature data..."
The officer frantically adjusted the parameters in the holographic interface: "The exploration shows that the curvature of the cosmic bubble is uneven. It is not a standard spherical structure, so the shipboard main brain needs some calculation time..."
"Nonsense!" Fang Yunsheng cursed again, "There are so many spikes on it, how can it be a standard spherical structure!"
"Just tell me the result!"
A moment.
"...The shipboard main brain can only give a vague calculation result."
The officer stared at the series of numbers that popped up automatically: "Preliminary estimates show that its maximum span exceeds 25,000 standard spans..."
"Even if it is the average span, it is probably 20,000 standard spans."
The moment the voice fell, the picture in the holographic interface changed rapidly-a huge, almost covering the entire hyperspace membrane, and a hideous cosmic bubble with a sea urchin-like appearance was quietly embedded in an infinitely extended, undulating large net.
This is a simulation of the cosmic bubble where the fleet is located.
But thanks to various precise detection data, this simulation is probably not much different from the real picture.
The command center fell into complete silence.
Fang Yunsheng looked up, staring blankly at the hideous giant wall in the holographic interface, and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
——It turns out that the ghost fleet did not irresponsibly abandon the fleet on the edge of the Apophis civilization.
On the contrary, they were extremely responsible and sent the fleet into the Apophis mother universe.
It's just...
The scale of this mother universe is slightly larger than they imagined.
...
On the other side.
"More than 25,000 standard span cosmic bubbles..."
In the central laboratory of the Human Union Academy of Sciences, Chief Lu was also shocked by the latest news.
You know, one standard span covers the entire Human Union Pan-Universe!
What is this concept?
To use the simplest analogy, in a cosmic bubble of this scale, the Human Union Pan-Universe can only be regarded as a slightly larger river system at best!
"This, this is too incredible!"
Academician Lin Yang exclaimed from the side: "Even if this cosmic bubble is artificially spliced, this scale is too outrageous!"
"I remember that in order to expand the capacity of the main universe, we spent a lot of energy, and the Genesis Fortress alone was put into use..."
"Wait!"
Chief Lu's eyes moved, and he hurriedly interrupted Lin Yang's words: "You just said... Genesis Fortress?"
Lin Yang was slightly stunned, as if he thought of something, and his originally normal face suddenly became strange.
"Strange."
"The cosmic bubble splicing project involves rule technology. Those giant scorpions that don't master rule technology..."
Lin Yang frowned and murmured in a low voice: "How did they create such a cosmic bubble?"
Chief Lu didn't say anything, but raised his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows.
"I'll think about this problem later."
"The first problem to be solved now is..."
...
"How can our fleet pass through these 10,000 standard spans in a short time and reach the central black hole area of the Apophis mother universe?"
In the fleet command center, Fang Yunsheng cast his eyes on Chen Fan, who was silent in the holographic interface, and asked the same question as Chief Lu.
"Wormhole?"
Sensing Fang Yunsheng's gaze, Chen Fan hesitated and answered, "Or try five-dimensional jump?"
Fang Yunsheng shook his head repeatedly.
"Too slow."
"Wormholes and five-dimensional jumps are useless at this scale." Fang Yunsheng's face was full of bitter smiles, "What's more, according to the current battle situation, the pan-universe can't hold on for much time."
Chen Fan frowned and sighed softly.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the holographic porthole on his side. Outside the porthole, a deep darkness was slowly moving towards the depths of the starry sky under the action of macro gravity - that was the black hole used by the fleet when returning from the subspace to the main space.
"How about..."
"Let's think of a way to go back to the subspace again?"
Chen Fan was slightly absent-minded, and whispered in a low voice: "Perhaps, only subspace navigation can allow us to quickly cross 10,000 standard spans."
"Return to the subspace again?"
Recalling the projection space constructed entirely by information flow, Fang Yunsheng shuddered subconsciously: "No! Absolutely not!"
"It's too dangerous to do this!"
"Let's not talk about the battle situation of the ghost fleet and the bait, the subspace itself has great uncertainty."
"Without the help of the ghost fleet, we may not be able to leave the subspace, and then the situation of the human alliance will be even worse!"
"Take a step back... Mr. Chen Fan, are you sure we can still go back to the subspace?"
Chen Fan was speechless. Fang
Yunsheng was right. The fleet's previous entry into the subspace was completely achieved by accident.
It is too difficult to completely reproduce the original scene!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan sighed silently: "If it really doesn't work, I will go to the central singularity of the Apophis mother universe alone..."
"That's even worse!" Fang Yunsheng's face changed drastically, "Who knows how many giant scorpions there are near the central singularity, you go alone..."
"Isn't this obviously going to die?"
The proposed plans were rejected one by one, and Chen Fan's face also looked ugly.
Indeed.
He naturally understood what Fang Yunsheng said, but...
According to the current situation, I am afraid that only coordinate jump can allow the fleet to cross such a long distance in a short time.
And the first element of coordinate jump is that the jump object must have the characteristics of information flow!
In short.
Either the jump object is a pure information flow life like Chen Fan and Kraken; or, like the previous expedition fleet, it has the duality of virtuality and reality.
But the problem is...
when the fleet passed through the singularity and returned to the main space, the strange duality of virtuality and reality had disappeared extremely abruptly!
Even if Chen Fan's ability to control information flow is strong, facing a fleet with only material characteristics, he can never initiate a coordinate jump!
"The duality of reality and illusion..."
Chen Fan sat in his seat with a gloomy look, his eyes aimlessly sweeping out of the holographic porthole.
Unlike the human universe, the Apophis mother universe is quite chaotic - this chaos is not only reflected in the laws of macroscopic gravity and the movement of celestial bodies, but also in the environment within the universe.
Endless, mottled and complex information flows shuttled freely between the vast starry sky. Among them, a small part was the aftermath of the Apophis giant scorpion's coordinate jump, and more were chaotic and messy foundation information flows.
Yes.
The foundation information flow that usually only appeared around the black hole singularity was as common as cabbage everywhere in this universe.
However, compared with the singularity, these foundation information flows that can be seen everywhere seem extremely trivial, and there is almost no valuable information inside them.
Suddenly.
Chen Fan's eyes swept across an unusually empty star field.
It is not difficult to see from the zero-point ray fluctuations that have not yet dissipated that this is the place where the previous sentinel died.
"Being able to perform coordinate jumps, these Apophis giant scorpions should also have the duality of reality and illusion like the light stones, but...how did they do it?" Chen Fan murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of confusion.
He began to recall what happened when the fleet fell into the subspace.
The first step was to enter the singularity information bridge. This step was very calm, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal. The only abnormal change should be the moment when the singularity information bridge collapsed...
"No."
Chen Fan's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.
"The singularity information bridge is, to put it bluntly, a large coordinate jump device."
"The expeditionary fleet was able to successfully enter the coordinate jump state, which means..."
"When the fleet entered the singularity information bridge, it actually had the duality of reality and virtuality!"
A flash of enlightenment flashed across Chen Fan's face: "I seem to understand a little bit..."
Fang Yunsheng: "???"
"Whether it is entering the singularity information bridge or leaving the subspace, it is actually inseparable from the singularity." Chen Fan took a deep breath and locked his eyes on the small black hole that was gradually moving away outside the holographic porthole again, "Captain Fang, order the fleet to approach the black hole immediately!"
"I'm going to do a small experiment."
Hearing this, Fang Yunsheng subconsciously felt his heart jump.
If he remembered correctly, the last time Chen Fan mentioned doing an experiment...
the central black hole exploded.
The Z619 expedition fleet also rushed into the Apophis mother universe like a duck on a shelf.
...
At the same time, in the central laboratory of the Academy of Sciences.
The atmosphere in the huge laboratory was very solemn. Every academician focused his attention on the data in front of him - these data came from the Z619 expedition fleet, which contained almost all the fleet's navigation logs and various detection data.
The research task was also simple.
- From these complex logs and detection data, find a way to jump coordinates for the expedition fleet far away in the Apophis mother universe.
After eliminating several possibilities in succession, Academician Lin Yang's eyes stayed on a guess that seemed very outrageous.
"Black holes, or singularities... have the ability to give virtuality and reality duality?"
Lin Yang shook his head repeatedly: "But this can't explain the phenomenon that the fleet's virtuality and reality duality disappeared again. Moreover, the fleet did not show any abnormal changes when it approached the singularity."
"It doesn't match the facts, so it should be ruled out..."
As he said, he raised his hand to cross out this unreliable guess.
"Wait!"
Perhaps thinking of something, Chief Lu, who noticed Lin Yang's actions, suddenly called out to stop him.
"Chief Lu?"
In Lin Yang's confused eyes, Chief Lu stepped forward, raised his hand and simply modified a few words in the holographic interface in front of Lin Yang.
"...Singularity has the ability to activate the duality of reality and illusion?"
Lin Yang was shocked and whispered.
