Chapter 588 Incredible Space Folding

Seeing the gloomy expressions of Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, Hayes quickly said with a smile:

"Of course, you two don't have to worry too much about this problem. After all, the distance between us and them is dozens of light-years away. If we only travel in an instant by one light-year, it will not affect the lives of our two civilizations. It will cause any impact. But with the current abilities of our two civilizations, I am afraid that we cannot do this. Even if our abilities are combined, we cannot create such a large folding space..."

Ning Chen also expressed great recognition of Hayes' conclusion. According to Ning Chen's estimation, with the current capabilities of Blue Star Civilization, I am afraid that it can only create a space fold of one-tenth of a light-year. This is undoubtedly different from this There is a huge gap between "space civilizations".

But if you want to make this space folding even greater, the difficulty level is not an additive or multiplicative increase, but an exponential increase.

This means that it is definitely not easy for this "space civilization" to create a larger-scale folding space. Even if they are given another hundred years, they may not be able to create a folding space that is ten light years away. overlapping space.

This can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes, but after feeling that he had escaped disaster, Ning Chen was also very curious about how this "space civilization" achieved this technology.

According to Ning Chen's previous analysis, if you want to create such a space folding effect, you can only rely on the huge attraction of the black hole. To achieve a space folding of a full light-year scale, the black hole that needs to be created is undoubtedly very huge.

After a simple calculation, Ning Chen knew that such a large energy consumption was completely unbearable by the current Blue Star civilization, and it was also a figure that was completely unimaginable.

"Mr. Hayes, how do you think this 'space civilization' achieves this? With the technology we know, it should be impossible to achieve this goal, right?"

Hayes also nodded after hearing this and said:

"Indeed, until now I still can't figure out how they did this. If they just use the annihilation of antimatter and positive matter to create a black hole with the huge energy released, I will not believe it anyway. , they were able to accumulate such a huge amount of energy, but in fact, they did it, because what we saw cannot be deceiving..."

Ning Chen and Song Xiyun were also unable to figure this out for a while. The three of them couldn't help but fell into silence, silently thinking about the reasons.

A few minutes later, Ning Chen seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a very surprised expression:

"If...I mean if such a situation exists, then all this can be explained!"

Seeing Ning Chen like this, Hayes and Song Xiyun immediately felt very curious.

"Mr. Chen Ning, please tell us what exactly you discovered."

"Actually, I have always had a hypothesis before that the universe we live in is not the whole part of the universe, it can even be said to be only half of the 'universe'. Of course, the universe I am referring to is mainly composed of positive matter. The universe composed of it, I guess there is a universe composed of antimatter somewhere.”

Song Xiyun had heard of Ning Chen's hypothesis before, but because there was no evidence to confirm Ning Chen's conjecture, they did not continue to investigate in this direction.

It was the first time for Hayes to learn about this theory. While feeling that Ning Chen's theory was very novel, Hayes also realized that Ning Chen's guess was indeed not impossible.

"This is really a theory full of creativity and authenticity! When we studied the beginning of the universe, we have always been a little surprised as to how the large amounts of antimatter were annihilated by matter. If they are not real have been annihilated, but they are all gathered in places we have not yet discovered, then all this can be explained clearly. "

"Yes, this is my core idea for this hypothesis. Now we can start simulations from the beginning of the Big Bang to examine the development process of all these situations..."

As he spoke, Ning Chen began to evolve through his brain's biological computer, and at the same time transmitted these evolutionary processes to the screen at Hayes' home.

"According to the theory of the Big Bang, at the moment after the explosion, there was a large amount of matter and antimatter in the universe. We can think that the beginning of the universe was just nothingness, because after the annihilation of these matter and antimatter, they will not Leave any remnants behind, they were originally created from nothingness..."

But when the evolution of these simulations progressed to a certain extent, the situation began to undergo novel changes.

"After the first Big Bang, these matter and antimatter were quickly annihilated together, returning them to nothingness. But after similar situations happened countless times, they finally no longer completely gathered together, but were instead Separated by the dividing line, two universes with completely different properties were born..."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Hayes quickly asked in surprise:

"Mr. Chen Ning, are you saying that the Big Bang happened not just once, but many times, or even countless times? The birth of the universe took much longer than we originally thought!"

Each expansion and contraction of the universe takes hundreds of millions of years, but in Ning Chen's opinion, this is not something incredible.

"Yes, Mr. Hayes, these times do sound very long, but time is a concept created by us. From a physical point of view, time can even be said to not exist at all. No matter they No matter how many times this process is carried out, it will not affect the birth of the universe, because the universe has no 'time'. "

After a few seconds of silence, Hayes couldn't help but sigh:

"Huh... What a great hypothesis. If the Big Bang really happened more than once, then it is entirely possible that some low-probability results will occur. The cosmic environment we live in now is after countless Big Bangs. It’s the most ideal situation.”

"That's right, because after the Big Bang, a barrier was cleverly created that could hinder the annihilation of matter and antimatter, so that they would no longer continue to annihilate like this, but each formed their own universe. Space. This barrier does exist in theory, because our Blue Star civilization has already conducted such research..."

With that said, Ning Chen introduced the relevant concepts to Hayes. Looking at the solid research results, Hayes also knew that this was not a concept that Ning Chen proposed temporarily.

In fact, long before Ning Chen underwent cryonics, he had already created a relatively simple barrier of matter and antimatter, and used this technology to hinder the annihilation of matter and antimatter to improve the efficiency of collecting antimatter.

Of course, the antimatter barrier created by Ning Chen is definitely not on the same level as the antimatter barrier existing in the universe, but there is no obvious difference in their core principles.

"Mr. Chen Ning, I feel more and more that you are no longer a simple scientific research enthusiast. These things are very secret information. Even a professional researcher like me doesn't know it. How on earth do you know this? ?”

Being asked like this by Hayes, both Ning Chen and Song Xiyun felt a little nervous, because this was indeed a somewhat unexplainable result.

However, Ning Chen quickly calmed down and said to Hayes calmly:

"To be honest, Yun Xi and I were both scientific researchers before, but later we stopped professional scientific research and became just scientific research enthusiasts. This is indeed very internal information. I hope Mr. Hayes will also If you can keep this secret, don’t leak this information.”

"Don't worry, this is the default rule in the scientific research community. I will definitely not do anything so stupid."

Although he still felt a little suspicious about Ning Chen and Song Xiyun's past, this was Ning Chen and Song Xiyun's privacy after all, and Hayes would not go too far into pursuing the things behind them.

After being briefly interrupted, Ning Chen continued to explain his reasoning on the matter.

"Mr. Hayes, what I want to say is that this 'space civilization' must have made some huge discovery recently to be able to create such a large-scale folded space. Perhaps they have found this barrier between matter and antimatter , and opened a hole in this barrier. This is a very dangerous thing, because it means that they may have obtained endless antimatter..."

"Hey... If this is really the case, their danger level will indeed rise by more than two levels immediately. And this is a very unfavorable thing for the entire universe, which will accelerate the annihilation of positive matter in our universe. The speed will even greatly reduce the lifespan of the universe."

If Ning Chen's hypothesis is indeed true, when all these matter and antimatter are annihilated, the universe will return to nothingness again.

"Yes, this is indeed a very scary thing. Of course, there is another possibility behind this, that is, they just discovered a large amount of antimatter, but this is not antimatter from the antimatter universe. According to my theory , there may also be some antimatter spheres in the universe, and because their appearance is covered by the positive and antimatter barrier, they can be preserved intact in the positive matter universe. "

"Well, if this is possible, it is indeed a much more ideal result. It's just that we are currently unable to accurately judge the situation, nor can we determine how they did it. Alas, this kind of unknown The feeling is really uncomfortable.”

However, Hayes would not care too much about this matter. After all, even if this "space civilization" develops so fast, they will definitely still not be able to expand their power to their own galaxy or the world before Hayes gets old. In the galaxy of Blue Star Civilization, it can be said that this will not be related to the safety of Hayes, at most it is related to the safety of his descendants.

Hayes is not a very "righteous" person. He feels very satisfied to be able to enjoy his life and do something he likes within a limited time.

But Ning Chen and Song Xiyun obviously don't think like this. Even though they have said that they will live in a leisurely state for the rest of their lives, when the crisis that threatens the entire civilization really arises, They will definitely not sit idly by.

"Mr. Hayes, thank you for the information you provided us today. I think it's time for us to go back and study the recent events of this 'space civilization'."

Ning Chen's attitude surprised Hayes, because even Hayes, a professional scientific researcher, was not shocked by this, but Ning Chen, as a scientific research enthusiast, reacted so fiercely.

"Mr. Chen Ning, it seems that this matter is more important than your research on the evolution of intelligent creatures. I am really curious, which field of research did you mainly do before?"

"Our research directions are relatively complex and will not be limited to a certain small direction. Instead, we will conduct research in any direction of interest. In addition, what I want to say is that when the entire civilization is facing threats, every Everyone needs to make their own contribution to fight this crisis, even if they are just a scientific research enthusiast."

"Sure enough, you Blue Star people still have this kind of collective consciousness. The emotional factor is really a good thing. In our civilization, ordinary people will not think about these things at all. They will only think about how to abide by the rules of civilization. Living my life under restrictions seems to be the right thing to do to have more emotional factors in my body..."

After coming out of Hayes' house, Ning Chen had stopped studying the evolution of intelligent creatures for the time being. Now, all Ning Chen could think about was how to find out the truth about how this "space civilization" could do this.

Song Xiyun was also thinking about this matter, which resulted in no communication between the two of them for the time being.

It wasn't until the flying car took them back to their home that Ning Chen said:

"Song Xiyun, I think we must find out the truth of this matter as soon as possible. The importance of this matter far exceeds our imagination, and it is not as simple as it seems."
