"No one said they didn't realize this was Mirror Universe situation; they just didn't get the defense system. Besides, the left and right hand situation is only special for us Earthlings. Academician Xiao and I went to Li Shun's place, but we didn't notice it at the time. Now that I think about it, they are different from us because their left and right hands are equally dexterous, unlike us, most people's left hand is less dexterous," Academician Zeng said persuasively.
"We've never met Li Shun in person, but since the academician said so, it seems that our Star Ring Alliance civilizations don't really distinguish between left and right," Li Zhixiong said.
"By the way, Academician," Academician Zhou Xiaohua suddenly remembered something. "You said there might be a relationship between our left and right hand positions and the rotation of the planets in the Solar System. When we were in the Solar System, left-handed people made up about 10% of the total population, and there was only one Venus in the Solar System, Venus, which rotates in the opposite direction, accounting for 12.5% of the eight planets. Do you think this data is a coincidence?"
"That's a good question. Have you taken statistics on the number of left-handed and right-handed people in the fleet? If the fleet still maintains a ratio of around 10%, it means that the counter-rotation of Venus has no effect. If the ratio is decreasing, it may indeed be related to the counter-rotation of Venus."
"I don't know if the academicians in the biology department have compiled this data yet, but if you don't usually distinguish between left and right, it's really hard to sense the anomalies in this universe. Anyway, first of all, thank you to the Solar System, thank you to Venus, and thank you to Academician Li's left hand."
"Everyone, hurry up and fill your stomachs. Today's auspicious day has allowed us to make a breakthrough. It's good fortune brought to us by our motherland and the Chinese Nation. Let's strike while the iron is hot and strive for even greater breakthroughs."
"It seems that only Chen Peng and I can enjoy this fine wine."
"Didn't someone just say that a little drink can help with thinking? The wine is a bit mediocre, but if you're in a bad mood, even the best wine won't taste right. But if you're in a good mood, even the worst wine in the world, like this one, will be a top-notch vintage, haha."
"This is our first time brewing. If we can produce any wine at all, that's a success. Once all the academicians have finished everything here, Chen Peng and I will definitely brew some really good wine to celebrate."
"Come on, for the Chinese Nation, for the fleet, let's roll up our sleeves and work hard! Cheers!"
"Good, well said, cheers."
The mirrored Secondary Universe is deathly silent. There are no stars, no starlight, not even a single particle to be found. As far as the eye can see, it is pitch black. If it weren't for the powerful beam of light emitted by the Reaper, this would be true darkness.
Because of its emptiness, it is extremely difficult for academicians to understand this universe. In the three-dimensional universe, scientists can deduce information about the universe by observing celestial bodies, but this is not possible here.
The first thing the academicians need to do is understand the flow of time here. The closer to the exit, the closer the time is to normal time. However, this can only be felt in the three-dimensional universe. At least within ten light-years, the flow of time in the Mirror Sub-Universe and the main universe is the same. We have now traveled more than 500 light-years. We don't know exactly how far we are from the exit, but the time here should have changed. How to measure the time here has become the most important issue.
The Reaper has been traveling in this space for 5 billion years, which is 300 years in the larger universe. Obviously, using these two time periods to calculate the size of this Mirror Sub-Universe is incorrect, because the Reaper has stopped to collect energy for more than 300 years, and it stopped multiple times. This shows that the Reaper has indeed undergone high-speed and long-duration travel, and it is not just an illusion of time acceleration.
However, the acceleration of time will also affect the energy consumption of the Reaper, just like the aging of the Reaper. Academician Liu believes that this Mirror Sub-Universe is not flat. The Reaper may travel 5,000 light-years in normal space for one year, or they may travel 100 million years in Rule Space, with an actual journey of one light-year. Now, we need to determine the size of this Mirror Sub-Universe to know how far the Reaper have actually traveled.
This incomplete universe is full of incomprehensible phenomena, but these phenomena can also lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of the universe and space.
In the year 43800 AD, Hu Yu gazed at the starry sky. The academicians had already transmitted the news about the Insect Zone back through the miniature spaceships that had entered the Insect Zone. However, a thousand years ago, the academicians still went to the danger zone, and since then, no news has been transmitted back.
Hu Yu had anticipated that the academicians would enter the danger zone. He knew that Chen Peng and Li Zhixiong couldn't stop them, and neither could he. Their pursuit of the truth of the universe would make them willing to give up their lives without hesitation.
" Old Hu, we just Zhalong Star Civilization and the Quaking Star Civilization conducted simultaneous space attack experiments."
"Oh? It worked."
"Yes, it was a great success."
"Now only the Sand Star Civilization and the South Star Civilization remain as Star System-Level Civilization."
"The academicians we sent to provide support have sent word that the Sand Star Civilization South Star Civilization can also conduct space attack experiments within a thousand years. By then, the Star Ring Alliance will have ten Small Star Sector Civilization. Although this is a formidable force, it will still be insufficient to cope with future situations."
" The Brilliant Star Civilization and North Star Civilization have barely reached the Intermediate Stage of Small Star Sector. Now, they are building their own shipbuilding systems, referencing our planetary shipbuilding machines. I believe that new fleets will soon be added to the alliance."
"These civilizations are quite advanced, but without the help of our scientists, they probably wouldn't have been able to break through to the Small Star Sector Civilization even in a million years. They are all extremely grateful to humanity now, and the alliance's cohesion is very high."
"That's a good thing."
"Learning about our human culture has now become a trend. Translators are no longer needed on any planet. Almost every civilization can speak Chinese. Our culture has subtly permeated every civilization, including the later-joined Carina Civilization, which is also quite interested in our culture."
"Making the four-dimensional channel technology public will facilitate unified command and action within the alliance."
" Old Hu, is this appropriate? Four-dimensional channel technology is an important technology for us."
"It's appropriate. The four-dimensional channel is just a means of communication. Although it's important, these civilizations have been in contact with us for a long time. Once they reach the Small Star Sector Civilization, they can easily figure out our operating methods and implement them. Making it public sooner will also increase other civilizations' goodwill towards us humans."
"Okay, anyway, four-dimensional communication won't be of much use once we enter the fourth dimension."
"General, Chief of the General Staff, that Yuan has arrived," Yang Fan reported.
