Lost? stay?

In the central conference room of Area A of the Earth Times, Captain Zhao said: "Misters and ladies, this disaster is the biggest disaster in our entire voyage. A small half of our living quarters have been destroyed. The air volume exceeded 6,000 tons, and it was difficult to even confirm what the source of the disaster was. In addition, there are still two unfortunate people who have not yet disappeared." "So the theme of this meeting is how to deal with

that piece of high-dimensional debris and related rescue efforts. Whether the matter is going on, and how to repair the spaceship, etc." "

Next, I would like to invite the only survivor, Mr. Zhang Yuan, to bring the first-hand information about the high-dimensional debris."

Zhang Yuan organized his language and said in the morning I said it exactly as I said it.

Although the people below had heard about the relevant retelling, they were still silent at the moment, and everyone was listening carefully.

If you haven't really seen it, even a mathematician, it is quite difficult to intuitively imagine the fourth dimension, not to mention the fifth and sixth dimensions. These things can only be calculated in equations, but cannot be intuitively imagined.

"Mr. Zhang, there are really nine dimensions."

Zhang Yuan replied, "I'm sorry, I can't be sure, everything is just speculation. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I think it is difficult to describe the specific dimensions with human language and imagination. There are related videos in the cameras of the space suits, and I suggest that the relevant expert team can conduct a series of research." There was a

lively discussion below, and for many physicists, it was almost in a fanatical attitude look at this matter.

Soon, another woman asked the question in her heart: "Then, Mr. Zhang Yuan, do you think it is worthless to rescue those two soldiers who were unfortunately sucked in?" Zhang Yuan paused for a while and said, "

Say To be honest, I don't know how to rescue. Because I only saw myself in that space, but not the two of them. The surrounding is the real nothingness" "Do you know the concept of nothingness?

"

"It's just nothing. It's different from the emptiness in the universe. It's really nothing. If it reaches the edge of the universe, it may be what I see." "So, I'm thinking, every

object that is sucked in may be They will be assigned to different spaces."

"Until we fully figure out the nature of the high-dimensional fragments themselves, it is impossible for us to find out where the two of them are, so the probability of rescue is very low." Speaking of

this, there have been several Two girls began to cry softly, they may be relatives and friends of the victim.

In such a large conference room, only the humming sound lingered in my ears, and everyone else was silent. This kind of truth sounds very cruel, but it is a fact. Conservation is the best strategy in the face of a position that cannot be resisted by human beings.

Zhang Yuan sighed inwardly. There is still a word that he didn't say, although he doesn't know what is the time lapse ratio between the high-dimensional world and the real world. But according to the time he felt, it was almost 1:1. Whether it was the exhaustion of oxygen or energy, they would disappear in that space. Those two brothers really had little chance of survival.

However, with a responsible attitude, he still wants to say this. The high-dimensional fragments are too dangerous, and he can't even guarantee that he can escape for the second time after being re-inhaled, let alone others.

After a few minutes of silence, and another few minutes of discussion, Zhang Yuan's message ended here.

Immediately afterwards, the second expert spoke.

This is an old expert in charge of spacecraft safety, the dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Deep Space University, with gray hair.

"Look, everyone, this is the piece of high-dimensional debris. It should be a creation of a high-level civilization, not a natural birth." A robot is

investigating the room, and the detected picture is displayed on the screen.

Zhang Yuan looked carefully and found that the thing was just a piece of broken glass the size of a fingernail. It lay quietly on the floor, did not emit light, did not produce the so-called attraction, and did not devour the matter in the floor.

This thing turned out to be an irregular shape of glass slag,

"It is the so-called warping point, why it has become a substance in three-dimensional space, or in other words, the warping point is hidden inside this piece of glass slag." A series

of questions emerged in Zhang Yuan's mind.

"First of all, it seems to have no mass." After a few seconds, the old man said: "Or the mass is very, very small, so small that we can't use robots to detect unknown materials that we don't know." "

But , this piece of debris can have a slight electromagnetic interaction with the matter on the floor, so it can lie on the floor obediently." "Secondly

, we seem to have no way to grasp its opening time. The first time it is opened, it hits the I don't know how many seconds the spaceship lasted. The second time it was turned on was when Mr. Zhang escaped. It lasted for 244 seconds for so many days, and it hasn't been turned on for the third time yet." "Every

time When it is turned on, it will generate a gravitational acceleration of 62 meters per square second to the surroundings, forming a relatively strong attraction. It will also devour all the matter within a radius of 22 meters around it." Another video began to play on the screen: the

photosphere It is absorbing the airgel on the floor, but the gravity of 62 meters per square second is obviously not strong enough to absorb it at all.

But 31 seconds later, the airgel on the floor suddenly disappeared, and a large hole with a radius of 22 meters appeared

. A small circle with a radius of one meter."

The high-frequency camera did not capture the time when the big hole appeared, no matter if the picture was delayed hundreds of times or thousands of times, the hole that did not exist in the previous frame appeared out of thin air in the next frame.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, he didn't know what this strange imagination meant.

Captain Zhao heard this, and said: "So everyone, if it is confirmed that there is no way to rescue the two soldiers, should we throw this fragment into space to ensure the safety of the spacecraft, or continue to study it and find out more? This thing"

is a time bomb. Once it explodes, it will cause huge damage to the spacecraft. There is no container to store it. Maybe it will swallow a lot of researchers along the way.

Even though Zhang Yuan has found a way to escape, not everyone will be able to escape according to the method.

Another old man stood up: "Throwing it out is a very reasonable plan. We are already close to our destination, and we only need another 300 years of sailing to reach our future home planet. We have inherited the absolute civilization of the earth." Most of the technologies are guided by the history of new civilizations, so under such circumstances, why bother to create extra problems?"

Zhang Yuan frowned and did not express his opinion for the time being.

Captain Zhao asked again: "Then based on the history of new civilizations, can it be calculated whether to keep it or lose it?"

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and replied: "Sorry, there is no way to make a calculation. We can't have a mathematical model for such an accident "

But in the face of more advanced technological creations, if the risks are controllable, the probability of negative events is relatively small."
