Chapter 444: A More Detailed Exploration of the Dimensional Channel (1/2)
Chapter 444 A more detailed exploration of the dimensional channel
Ella can analyze enough information from the initial information.
At the same time, there is something that the detector could not do before, that is, the attempt of tachyon communication.
Can the potato chip communicate with the outside world in the dimensional channel?
According to the time, a tachyon communication connection with invalid information will be made within 100 seconds after entering the dimensional channel, but in fact Ella did not receive the information.
"The structure of the dimensional channel means that information can only pass from both ends, and the tachyon communication technology uses gravity to pry the tachyons for transmission. The dimensional channel is surrounded by black holes, which is definitely impossible."
This attempt is just a further confirmation of the previous conclusion.
Then there are other aspects of exploration, such as whether a substance can exist stably in the dimensional channel. This is very important. As long as the experiment shows that a substance can exist continuously, then the probability of them passing through the dimensional channel will be much greater.
This experiment lasted about 4000 seconds. Because the length of the cable is limited, the potato chip number cannot make too many experiments.
The result is that all substances are very stable in the dimensional channel.
"This means that the dimensional channel is very stable, but it will become unstable with movement or periodic channel changes."
"We previously assumed that the movement of objects in the dimensional channel is like a spring spiral. Could it be that 4000 seconds is not enough to reach half a cycle?"
The expected trajectory is that a complete "circle" of three-dimensional and four-dimensional is considered a cycle, so this cycle will go through two dimensional changes.
The first is from three-dimensional to four-dimensional, and the second is from four-dimensional back to three-dimensional.
These two dimensional changes should produce some instability. Now that they have not been found, it means that they may not have reached that stage yet.
4000 seconds is enough for the Potato Chip to fly 40 million kilometers.
This is already a long distance. If this experiment does not reach it after the last 10 billion kilometers, then the speed of the three-dimensional to four-dimensional conversion in the dimensional channel may be slower than they thought.
It is also possible that it is not slow, but the amplitude is relatively large, and the distance from three-dimensional to four-dimensional in the dimensional space is relatively far.
"Any substance can remain stable in the dimensional channel for a certain period of time, so can we make precise defenses according to the unstable period to improve the pass rate?"
Ella is still unclear now, and it is waiting for the subsequent exploration of the Potato Chips.
New information is transmitted again, and the Potato Chips just had a weak resonance phenomenon.
It seems that the vibration of the entire space caused the vibration of the Potato Chips.
This resonance is not strong, so the Potato Chips is not damaged.
This resonance is inexplicable, and Ella can't make any associations with this resonance. It records it and waits for the next resonance to appear, or makes a judgment after three consecutive resonances.
Maybe this is the transition from three dimensions to four dimensions?
However, all the detectors on the Potato Chips did not detect the existence of the fourth dimension. The fourth dimension is a change in space, so theoretically they can detect it.
All atoms in the Potato Chips will have an extra dimension, which is very obvious.
The vibration of space may be caused by the instability of the dimensional channel. Is the dimensional channel stable? A definite conclusion cannot be given now.
A large number of aircraft began to fly out of the Potato Chips to explore the surroundings of the dimensional channel.
The speed of these aircraft reached 1/2 of the speed of light. They could quickly fly a distance of several astronomical units, and then they would transmit the information they obtained back using electromagnetic signals.
The plan was implemented for 600 seconds, or 10 minutes. A total of 100 million aircraft were launched, and only 190,000 received replies in the end.
0.19% information reception rate.
"The space in the dimensional channel is indeed chaotic, at least on a large scale."
"Otherwise, these carefully adjusted aircraft would not be able to transmit signals to other places."
These adjustments were all completed by Ella herself, representing the highest accuracy of the Federation at present.
If it is a problem of accuracy, it means that the current technology of the Federation cannot explore the space in the dimensional channel, which will be unsolvable.
So it is impossible to think in this direction.
"But if the information cannot be transmitted back on the 90 million kilometers path, then the Potato Chips has already flown nearly 50 million kilometers. Why is there no problem with the cable?"
"Perhaps space does not have such a big impact on physical matter. It can only slightly change the direction of some signals, perhaps only 1 degree, or 0.5 degrees, but in distant space, there will be signal deviation."
Ella asked the Potato Chips to conduct a second round of experiments, this time for 300 seconds.
Sure enough, the signal reception rate reached 3.87%, which is much higher than before.
"Perhaps the space in the dimensional channel can be imagined as waves on a calm lake. It cannot overturn a large ship, but it can easily grasp a floating leaf."
Ella felt that this information was not enough.
Because they have not yet obtained information like the end of the end, there is too little chaotic information about time and space.
Now the Potato Chips is like sailing on the lake, which is too different from the rough sea they expected.
"Perhaps we can enter the attack test."
Fire some weapons in the dimensional channel.
This should be the most effective method.
A lot of information can be obtained by observing the laser.
Because photons themselves will not exchange energy with other substances in the dimensional channel, there is no possibility of disturbing the dimensional channel.
The Potato Chips began to prepare.
Of course, it will not launch a long-range weapon. This has been warned by the contactor before. Such terrifying energy fluctuations as long-range weapons can cause space distortion.
Photons also have mass when they move, although the mass is very small.
The energy density of long-range weapons far exceeds the so-called gamma rays, and its impact on space is beyond imagination.
So the weapons fired by the Potato Chips are a lot of low-energy light. This kind of laser can only melt some steel plates, and it is not a focused light. The light of these rays is very scattered.
Then, in the next moment.
The sun!
A sun appeared in the dimensional channel.
The Potato Chips scattered all photons in all directions, and its light brightness exceeded 200 times the brightness of the sun in 0.2 seconds.
This is insignificant in the face of a supernova explosion, and it also seems a little thin in the collapse of many supermassive stars, but it is absolutely unique in this dimensional channel.
After the photons go out, if there are any obstacles in the dimensional channel, these photons will be reflected back, and the sensors of the Potato Chips will be able to receive weak light, so that they can understand the overall structure of the dimensional channel.
But is it that simple?
If the dimensional channel can be explored so easily, those advanced civilizations would have come here long ago.
So the Potato Chips did not receive any information.
"The fact that the Potato Chips have no information means that the dimensional channel can lead to the black hole outside, and it does not have an insurmountable boundary."
"If the spacecraft crosses that boundary, it should be greeted by the strong gravity of the black hole."
There were some speculations before.
But this time there is more evidence.
"Photons don't work, and other particles are even worse."
Although Ella said so, she still tried neutrinos, and the result was as expected.
10,000 km/s speed, 10 billion kilometers is a little less than 9 months and 4 days, so there is still plenty of time.
Ella began to conduct other experiments.
The most important experiment is to create the Zerg itself and see the changes of the organisms in the dimensional channel.
Then it got a question that had been ignored before.
"If the length of the dimensional channel itself is more than 800 years, how many Zerg can survive through this channel?"
The question here does not include the danger of the dimensional channel itself, but simply whether a Zerg can survive in a vacuum environment for 800 years.
After thinking about this problem, Ella solved many problems in an instant.
"The problem of Zerg passing rate may also be affected by this."
The Zerg is not a unit for ultra-long-distance combat. First, its speed is not fast, and second, it is too large.
Being large means that the energy consumed is large. Although the Leviathans made before are also large, they are light. The body of Leviathan is hollow, and it can store a large amount of gas in the body.
The Zerg does not have a similar structure. They are set to be solid for combat effectiveness.
This problem has never been thought of because the length of the dimensional channel was not determined before, and many of them came from speculation.
Of course, the biggest problem is actually Ella's own neglect of the Zerg.
Ella did not pray for more dimensional information from the Zerg. The Zerg was just exploring and making trouble. Who would care?
This caused Ella to notice this at this time.
Logically speaking, its calculation should be quite comprehensive.
Sure enough, Ella found a previous conclusion from her own database.
[Zerg life span problem]
But Ella ignored it.
Computers will also selectively process information, and this choice is likely to be retrieved through keywords.
And this conclusion does not contain the keywords that Ella wants, so it was omitted.
But in the final analysis, Ella's current computing power is not enough. Ella itself relies on the original host of the potato chip number, and its real computing power center is still on Betelgeuse, so it will abandon some things in order to save computing power.
It searched the original conclusion again.
Fortunately, there is no real conclusion to note. 99.99% of the information retrieved by it is useless information, and only this one content is neglected.
Of course, this information about the Zerg does not affect the exploration of the dimensional channel. It can only be said that part of the previous investment in the Zerg may have been wasted.
Not absolutely.
The dimensional channel is one-way. Even if the Zerg dies in the dimensional channel, its own speed will not decrease, and its corpse may still reach the other side of the dimensional channel.
And the end of the end did not see these corpses in the four-dimensional space, which means that the problem of the dimensional channel itself is bigger.
This is just a small episode.
Potato Chips No. 1 made the Zerg explore in all directions, and they naturally did not have photon accuracy, so what they really have to do is not to reach the four-dimensional, but to return to the three-dimensional.
If there are Zerg that can return to the three-dimensional, it means that the probability of returning to the three-dimensional is very high. C28 has also achieved the same return before.
The Potato Chips explored all the way and even left a permanent observation station in the dimensional channel. It is unknown how long it can last.
Such observations came to an abrupt end at 1.4 billion kilometers.
The communication between the cable and the Potato Chips was cut off.
"Retract the cable."
Ella gave the order, and the huge wheel retracted the cable, which took several months.
The broken part of the cable was very smooth and flat. Ella expected the cable to break, so he added a lot of materials inside the cable, such as real hemp rope, so that you can see how the cable is broken from a macroscopic perspective.
The cut of the hemp rope is also very flat, and even the arrangement of the atoms on the broken surface is unusually neat under the microscope.
"This kind of cutting technology should only be done by space itself."
"Space cut the cable."
"Is it a space fault? Or as we judged before, there will be some changes in the node space where the three-dimensional space enters the four-dimensional space."
The length of the recovered part is 1.417 billion kilometers, and the last contact with the potato chip was 1.4174 billion kilometers. In fact, the cable was disconnected after the spacecraft flew over. Perhaps the former possibility is higher.
"Plans can't keep up with changes."
I thought the potato chip could provide more information, but now only one-seventh of the way has been traveled.
There is too much time left, which is a pity.
"The potato chip lost."
In Ella's opinion, this plan was proposed by it, and it should be responsible for it.
A planetary battleship, even if this battleship is old, is also a powerful combat force.
"What will happen to the potato chip? Now we can only wait for the potato chip to transmit information back."
And Ella waited for more than 3,000 years.
What came back from the dimensional channel was not a message, but a Zerg.
The number of Zergs that Potato Chips planned to release was 1 billion, and the probability of one returning was indeed higher than going to the fourth dimension, but the result was not as good as the loss of Potato Chips.
Just when Ella was disappointed, the robot that went to bring the Zerg back for inspection found abnormal substances in the Zerg's body.
It was a solid crystal the size of a human palm.
Ella extracted the content it carried, and the cumbersome information instantly overwhelmed it.
This information came from the Potato Chips that had lost contact.
It contacted the third dimension through all means such as radio waves and light waves, and also used the information carried by the Zerg to increase a glimmer of hope.
And this glimmer of hope really came true!
