Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 238: Super Droplet

Three and a half months later, the force field generators and hyperspace communication base stations in each galaxy of the galactic hypercube were deployed and all preparations were complete. Zhou Yuan, Pan Na, Chu Xiaolu, and Mei Ruolan were once again sitting in Zhou Yuan's flagship command room.

Zhou Yuan issued the final order. His order, transmitted indiscriminately through hyperspace communication base stations, reached all star systems and was simultaneously received by the hyperspace communication base stations in each star system. The hyperspace communication base stations then activated the nearby force field generators.

The galaxies at the vertices of the galactic hypercube, including the Milky Way base, begin to accelerate simultaneously at the same rate.

Zhou Yuan and his colleagues discovered that a large number of stars at the Milky Way base began to "shake" on a large scale. Zhou Yuan, Pan Na, Chu Xiaolu, and Mei Ruolan held hands and lined up in a row. Only in this way could they feel a little safe.

All four eyes were fixed on the holographic spherical screen in the center of the command room. The screen was still displaying the hypercube message that Zhou Yuan and his team had sent ten and a half months ago: "The galactic hypercube has been successfully constructed. The hypercube message 'Save us' has been sent."

Zhou Yuan also glanced at the holographic screen in front of him. The screen showed that the galactic hypercube's speed had reached 45% of the speed of light, and was still increasing. When the holographic screen displayed 50% of the speed of light, the hypercube in the center of the holographic spherical screen suddenly disappeared, replaced by another hypercube. The translated information showed:

"Stop! Slow down! Stop! Slow down!"

"Who are you?" Zhou Yuan typed on the holographic screen in front of him, and the input information quickly appeared on the holographic spherical screen in the center of the command room, displaying several nested hypercube structures.

"We are the fifth-dimensional human race, and who are you?"

Five-dimensional humans? Zhou Yuan and the others were taken aback. The last person who responded to their distress call claimed to be a five-dimensional intelligent race, but this time, the one responding was their enemy—the five-dimensional humans?

"We? Well, how should I put it? We are a human civilization within a super holographic virtual universe created by the four-dimensional virtual machine of the five-dimensional intelligence race."

"Have the four-dimensional virtual machine or the five-dimensional space intelligence race contacted you?"

"Yes. We also communicate with them through this hypercube structure."

"Pathetic low-entropy humans."

"What do you mean?"

With a heavy heart, Zhou Yuan issued the order to accelerate the galactic hypercube. The holographic display in front of Zhou Yuan showed that it quickly reached 60% of the speed of light.

"Stop! Please slow down!"

"If you want us to slow down, fine, but we need the facts."

"We are the five-dimensional human race, and our enemies are the five-dimensional intelligent race. They did create what you call the four-dimensional virtual machine. In fact, this four-dimensional virtual machine is a kind of weapon."

"Offensive weapons?"

"Yes, an attack weapon, an attack on a six-dimensional black hole."

"Attack a six-dimensional black hole?!" Zhou Yuan and the others couldn't understand it.

"Yes, that's right. It's similar to how players in your fourth version of the game 'Cosmic Conquest' can concentrate their energy to attack a local area of ​​a six-dimensional space trap and then escape. However, the five-dimensional space intelligences want to use a newly invented four-dimensional virtual machine, which we call the 'Hyperbody Droplet,' to break through the six-dimensional space black hole we are in."

"You are inside a six-dimensional black hole?!"

"Yes, in order to evade the pursuit of the five-dimensional intelligent beings, we had to hide everywhere, but they still managed to discover this six-dimensional black hole."

Zhou Yuan and the others found it unbelievable and wondered if what this five-dimensional human was saying was true.

Why is a four-dimensional virtual machine called a "super-droplet"?

"This was created by the five-dimensional intelligent race using our human consciousness through a four-dimensional virtual machine, modeled after us. They simulated and created you, using you humans, to simulate various methods of breaching six-dimensional black holes, and you actually succeeded. The galactic hypercube you have created is equivalent to the tip of a super-droplet, while the numerous galaxies that have moved in the same direction are the head of the super-droplet. This head of the super-droplet acts as a protective umbrella, shielding the tail from the influence of the six-dimensional black hole. On the other hand, when the tail of the super-droplet, i.e., the galactic hypercube, reaches the speed of light, it will also reach superluminal speed under the influence of the gravitational pull of the numerous galaxies at the head of the super-droplet. In this way, the head and tail of the super-droplet will change direction, and the tip of the super-droplet will pass over its head, piercing the six-dimensional black hole barrier like a sharp weapon, allowing the five-dimensional intelligent race to take advantage of the opening."

"But how can a four-dimensional virtual machine break through a six-dimensional black hole? There's a two-dimensional difference."

"Here's the situation: we are a five-dimensional human race. In the five-dimensional space, we created a six-dimensional black hole. However, the six-dimensional black hole is not actually in the six-dimensional space."

Seemingly to make Zhou Yuan and the others understand, the hypercube structure in the holographic display in the middle changed very quickly, and after about a minute, the hypercube structure stabilized.

"Let me use an analogy that's easy for you to understand. Our five-dimensional space is like a two-dimensional sheet of white paper to you. Now, we fold the two-dimensional paper into a hollow sphere, which is equivalent to a black hole in six-dimensional space. At this moment, a long, extremely thin needle is piercing the sphere at a very fast speed. What do you think will happen to the sphere?"

Zhou Yuan and the others understood that this long, thin needle, relative to the ball of paper, could be considered one-dimensional. In other words, the super-body droplet relative to the six-dimensional black hole was like a thin needle relative to a ball of paper.

"Sage, we have observed a large number of galaxies ahead." After the galaxy hypercube reached 70% of the speed of light, the adjutant George in the command center reported to Zhou Yuan.

"Understood. What should we do then?" Zhou Yuan sent the message.

"Slow down the galactic hypercube as quickly as possible. Destroy the hypercube droplet."

"Then what do we do? Where do we go?"

“We have created a real three-dimensional space for you inside this six-dimensional black hole. Your consciousness will undergo a certain mirror symmetry transformation. You will still be you and will live in a normal four-dimensional spacetime universe, not a virtual universe.”

"So, we're going to live in a six-dimensional black hole forever, no matter what?"

"I'm afraid so. You humans can only exist in four-dimensional spacetime and cannot cross dimensions."

"But human consciousness can exist in this four-dimensional virtual machine, which contains four-dimensional space fragments and even six-dimensional space traps, right?"

"Then it can only be quantum or photonic consciousness, since your consciousness comes from us."

“We have indeed encountered a six-dimensional attack. What happened? I saw my hands and organs leaving my body.”

"This is just an illusion created for you by the four-dimensional virtual machine."

"Okay. What would happen if the super-sized droplet broke through a six-dimensional black hole?"

"Don't do anything foolish. Otherwise, we'll all be wiped out by the fifth-dimensional intelligent race."

Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered some important questions, so he quickly entered the information.

"The conflict between you and the Intelligence Clan can be described as a war in the fifth dimension. Are there wars in higher dimensions?"

"At present, we have not observed wars in higher dimensions."

"Then where did you humans and the intelligent race come from? Is it possible that you and the intelligent race were also created or simulated by some other being?"

Just like when Zhou Yuan asked the Grim Reaper, it took a long time for Zhou Yuan to receive a response to his question.

"That's a good question. To be honest, we don't know the answer either. If we and the Societies were indeed created or simulated by some kind of being, we will discover that being sooner or later."

The answers from the five-dimensional human race and the five-dimensional intelligent race were exactly the same.

"Does the fifth dimension only exist for your race, humans and intelligent beings?"

"Yes. So far, no other races have been discovered."

Zhou Yuan looked at the holographic screen in front of him, which showed that the galactic hypercube had reached 80% of the speed of light.

"What are you waiting for? Slow down now!"

"Okay, I'll trust you one more time. You're ready to receive us. I hope you keep your word."

"Normal four-dimensional spacetime is ready, and the mirror-symmetry conversion of your consciousness has been initiated. Please slow down!"

Zhou Yuan had already seen many moving dots on the holographic screen. Those dots all seemed to have tails trailing behind them. He knew that each dot was a galaxy.

Zhou Yuan stood up, kissed the three beautiful women one after the other, and then delivered his final declaration to all humanity: "Everyone, I hope we can meet again."

After speaking, Zhou Yuan glanced at the holographic screen. Under the influence of the gravitational sources of all the galaxies in front of him, the galaxy hypercube was accelerating faster and faster. The speed number on the holographic screen kept spinning. When it reached 90% of the speed of light, Zhou Yuan issued a command. This command was transmitted to each galaxy in the hypercube via the hyperspace communication base station, and the force field generators in each galaxy began to stop operating. However, although the force field generators stopped operating, the speed of each galaxy in the hypercube was still increasing under the influence of the gravitational sources.

The only difference between the galaxy and the other galaxies in the galaxy supercube is that at the Milky Way base at one of the supercube's vertices, the force field generator did not stop operating, but instead accelerated again. Soon, the Milky Way base broke away from the galaxy supercube and crashed directly into a huge fibrous vortex in front of it. Next to the fibrous vortex, many galaxies were rotating, but they could not enter the vortex.

At the instant he collided with the vortex, Zhou Yuan saw the holographic screen display: Hypercube Galaxy Base: 99.9% of the speed of light; Hypercube Other Galaxy: 91% of the speed of light.

On the central holographic spherical screen, a nested hypercube structure appeared. "Truly worthy of being the consciousness of our human race. Goodbye."

In that instant, Zhou Yuan saw the pain on the faces of Pan Na, Chu Xiaolu, Mei Ruolan, and others. He then felt a jolt throughout his body, as if his brain had been hit hard. Everyone involuntarily clutched their heads and collapsed.

Zhou Yuan's final thought was: if we can't reach faster-than-light speed, the Milky Way base will probably be like all other galaxies, forever hovering on the edge of the six-dimensional black hole barrier. The five-dimensional space, like the three-dimensional space, will be dark!

In the dim light, Zhou Yuan seemed to hear a voice: "...What's wrong with you?", and then he lost consciousness.
