Start a Subspace

While waiting anxiously, time passed quietly.

Zhang Ran, Zhou Chengfeng and others were patiently flipping through the materials sent on the screen. There were dense texts and a few pictures. Obviously, they couldn't understand a single word.

There are a total of 103 pieces of gold leaf, and the number of characters is about 340,000, which is not too small to be true.

These characters are a bit like the cuneiform characters of Mesopotamia, like tadpole characters.

Of course, it is only similar in shape. Since the grammar and thinking style of aliens may be fundamentally different from that of humans, the corresponding information scientists are not very sure of successful translation.

340,000 text is still too little.

For deciphering, people still hold a relatively optimistic attitude. There is a planet below, and no matter what, they can find more written materials.

It's a big deal to send some robots, even if they lose, it's nothing.

An expert in informatics said with a sad face: It is best to find the text corresponding to the picture, which will allow us to translate the text more quickly.

For example, the literacy atlases for infants and young children are the most helpful materials for deciphering words. If we can find these things, we are confident that we can translate them within a month.

Or the complete dictionary of the civilization, which is also of great help to translation; the next best thing is movie posters, advertisements, etc., as long as there are things corresponding to pictures.

Of course, there may be many languages ​​on this planet. Just like our earth, there are Chinese, English, Russian, French, etc., and each language is different. This will bring some difficulties to deciphering.

Zhang Ran nodded: Don't be too anxious, no matter what, the exploration of this planet must continue. Let's take the initiative to find a place with less geothermal heat, and then land and explore.

...

An hour later, the corresponding engineer finally energized the circular camera, with a voltage of about 183 volts, which allowed it to work.

When the alien video was broadcast, everyone was taken aback.

The first picture is an ant-man shouting something...

Let’s just call him Ant-Man, he looks a bit like an ant, with long antennae on his head, but he walks upright.

He was wearing a silver-white spacesuit, or silver-white power armor, standing on a huge spaceship.

Around this spaceship, there are countless small spaceships floating densely!

Under their feet is their home star, bright and huge light clusters, blooming on their home star, obviously these light clusters are hydrogen bombs!

This is the real interstellar war. At first glance, Zhang Ran thought he was watching a scene from a sci-fi movie.

Sipadiya!

This is the first sound that people heard, like the sound from the abdominal cavity, it seems a little dull, but also unimaginably high-pitched!

It is difficult for him to describe this feeling, which is subconsciously believed to be the high-pitched roar of the intelligent life of this civilization.

Immediately afterwards, a grand symphony sounded, which seemed to be a rhythmic sound composed of metal percussion and some kind of shell instrument, with a rough and wild heavy industrial atmosphere.

The Ant-Man in a space suit, speaking at a very fast speed, introduced something: Expensive one)...??￥

The pictures on the screen are constantly switching, and an unimaginably huge factory is displayed in front of you.

This factory may be bigger than Mount Everest.

Countless ants are busy working in the factory, some are wearing helmets, and some are maintaining the machines in the factory. They have become the screws of the development of civilization, but they look very passionate.

A large number of robots emerge from the factory, this mass is really massive, at first glance there are millions, tens of millions; the endless battle between the mechanized army and the silicon-based monsters, these robots generally use a The lethal weapon, the halo of light spread out, and a large amount of black mist fell on the ground one after another.

Then came the explosion of the nuclear weapon, and the huge creature like Godzilla was wiped out under the explosion of the hydrogen bomb.

And... various scenes of life and death.

Yes, they still couldn't fight, and the front line moved towards the base camp bit by bit.

I have to admit that the artistic attainments of this civilization are extremely high. The sound of metal knocking seems to hit the beat of every soul, making people deeply feel the cruelty and tragedy of war.

After that, the music gradually faded, and the picture was divided into two parts. On the left is a large-scale heavy industry factory, and countless ants groups are busy and fighting.

The picture on the right is the life in the city, as if it was a memory of the past. At that time, they also had a beautiful planet. Due to the difference in atmospheric composition, the sky showed a light purple color, which was as beautiful as lavender.

The cities in the picture are completely different from human cities. The underground part of these cities is higher than the ground part. They have a large population, and a small city has a scale of tens of millions.

And in the small rooms, the ants put on their helmets one by one, surrounded by colorful and dreamy halos...

...

Zhang Ran swallowed, because he couldn't understand the narration, he didn't know what story he was telling.

Immediately afterwards, the screen jumped again. In the space station, a few ant-men were shouting something hoarsely at the sky, but the whole world remained indifferent.

The ant people laughed at the yelling whistlers, thinking they were out of their minds.

Finally one day, the world went dark, the stars went out, and this area fell into a high-dimensional world. Ant-man wearing a helmet returns to reality in a colorful halo like a dream.

Yes, the disaster really happened, they have to face the reality.

On another day, a large number of small universes descended from the high-dimensional universe, and a large number of monsters crawled out of the small universe, one of which was a thick black mist... This black mist quickly condensed into liquid metal.

These should all be the past, the past. Zhang Ran muttered to himself.

He saw a small universe in the picture, yes, what is shown in the picture is indeed a small universe, and there are a large number of robots building shelters in it...

The war is retreating steadily, and a small number of Ant-Man escaped with this small universe! !

Leaving a lot of dazed Ant-Man, angry to the extreme and helpless scene.

This...what is this? Zhang Ran complained in his heart.

It ended up being that low, high-pitched voice again, and they fought monsters, and their race was united again, alive and fighting.

With the re-cohesion of the race, the defeat of the war was unexpectedly reversed abruptly, at least a partial victory appeared.

They even snatched a small universe belonging to the monsters and developed it as a movable shelter.

At the end of the screen, the balance of war began to turn again, and the final production base camp was almost lost, and Ant-Man had to leave this planet.

Sipadiya!, Sipadiya!, when leaving, only a large number of Ant-Man cheered loudly, sending off, blessing, and praying with great enthusiasm.

The narrator chattered something, and the scene ended.

The final outcome should be that the population of this civilization hid in the stolen universe and left this world...

The last time the small universe left, it was boundless anger, it was the defection of the powerful, it was betrayal!

But this time, everyone left together.

Or, instead of all leaving together, a small number?

Maybe that's the case, people are not too sure, after all, they can't understand what these ant-men are saying.

All episodes took 42 minutes and 33 seconds.

There was a long silence, no one spoke.

Zhang Ran sighed deeply, as if a force from the depths of time hit his core and made his heart beat wildly.

It took him a long time to figure out why his heart was beating so fast.

This is the fate and vicissitudes of the past time and space!

Although the disappearing life is temporarily floating like a starry sky, the existence of life is short-lived, but the existence of spirit will never disappear. Life is only the composition of elementary particles, and the spirit aggregates into shape, and the eternal life is gradually revived in another world .

This may be the so-called inheritance...

He couldn't help looking at another screen: a desolate, dead and frozen planet was displayed there, and there was no Ant-Man left.

All gone.

Mr. Erwin, a great painter, once painted a painting Cannibalism, which shows the ferocious fight between rats when the food is short-term, and the strong one can eat the weak one. The picture is bloody and cruel.

When Erwin was young, he was a little-known painter known for his satire.

This painting was drawn by him a long time ago, and he said it was the infighting among aliens, which he saw with his own eyes.

At that time, everyone thought that he was neurotic and abnormal, but this painting was indeed very good, and it sold for a good price, probably a few thousand yuan. A painter who is not dead cannot be sold for a sky-high price after all.

The middle part should describe the internal struggle between them, right? They were originally a civilization with little fighting power, a broken will to fight, and obsessed with the virtual world. After the war broke out, some of the dignitaries among them also fled with the small universe. ?”

Then the rest of them were reborn in the ashes of the war... It's really interesting.

Zhang Ran slowly recovered from this sense of fate, but no matter what, there was still a sense of emptiness.

He took a deep breath: They seem to be very proud of their history, otherwise they wouldn't have made a special movie and put it here.

Your Highness, I wonder if you have heard of a theory, the law of large numbers.

Lin Qiuyue, who was sitting next to her, said with emotion: If we want to observe the whole life of Paramecium, we only need to take a photo in a petri dish. Among the countless Paramecium, there are freshly split paramecia, and there are also adult plants. bodies, and even older parameciums that are about to die.

One photo can already analyze the life of a single paramecium.

That is to say, the vast majority of individuals conform to statistical laws. Their behavior is predictable. Their life cycle is also predictable. There is a framework that stipulates their actions for a lifetime, and they will always challenge out of this framework.

The development of civilization may be the same.

Since everyone is a civilization within the framework, it is not surprising that some similar historical events occur and the same choices are made during special periods.

The so-called 'defect' choice is not something that can be made by a single individual, but a choice made by a class. It is the common choice of many people, so it may have a certain inevitability.

Of course, the history behind them seems to have changed differently, and this is the main reason why they are proud of it...

Zhang Ran lowered his head, not knowing how to describe this feeling.

In fact, everyone in the meeting room was in a restless mood.

Human civilization is essentially an ordinary civilization. If there are no accidents or the ability to create things, only the 500,000 people in the Garden of Eden can survive...

Moreover, there is a high probability that these 500,000 people will be trapped in the small universe, and eventually fall into the high-dimensional world with the destruction of the galaxy, and it is unknown how long they can live.

As for humanity recovering after Eden's defection?

It is almost impossible, and the time is too late, and even if it is in time, it will be difficult to get up again...

So human beings are not as civilized as this ant-man...

The technological strength of this civilization seems to be stronger than ours? Zhang Ran asked again, The productivity of their large factories is too high, and the dense robot army uses a kind of aperture weapon, which is specially used to shoot Kill silicon-based microbes, right?

According to the data, it is indeed the case. Another professor of materials science who spoke, I observed that they seem to have completed the global solar power grid system and realized sustainable energy. From this point of view, at least compared to our earth period, about 100 years stronger.”

100 years? Many people present were shocked for a while.

The global solar power grid system has also been proposed on the earth.

In the environmental trend of the 21st century, solar energy is the cheapest, most achievable, and cost-competitive renewable energy.

But the only trouble with solar energy is that there is no sun at night, so there is no way to generate electricity at night.

There is no way to generate electricity in cloudy or stormy weather.

In industrial production, once the power is cut off, the cost will be unbearable. For example, in a metal smelting factory, once the power is cut off, the metal will condense in the electric arc furnace, not only will a furnace of materials be lost, but the entire furnace will be scrapped; another example is a chip production factory, once the power is cut off, all the chips will be scrapped, and the production equipment may be scrapped.

So what to do? So someone came up with a plan to spread solar panels all over the world and use UHV for power transmission.

Half of the planet is always sunny, and more areas are always sunny, so the global solar grid will maintain voltage stability and output power for a long time, and can avoid various weather defects.

It can't be raining all over the world, right? !

Of course, the idea of ​​using global solar energy is a great idea, but it requires huge funds and extremely complicated political games.

In view of the complex situation on the earth, it is almost impossible to realize the interconnection of power grids between countries! Because electricity is the lifeline of industry, who wants to control the lifeline in the hands of other countries?

What's more, for people on earth, there is no railway between countries! People think that this project can be completed in 50-100 years, but it is actually very small...
