The determination of the Three-Dimensional Basic Space did indeed make Hu Yu feel a little more at ease. Academician Liu had already given up his fishing Bi Cha, and now he could only fish alone again. In the laboratory, Academician Liu was able to peel away the Basic Space and disintegrate the Basic Energy by manipulating the power of space.
Unlike Basic Space Basic Energy, which are arranged in close proximity, Basic Space has a relatively loose structure, much like an atomic nucleus where there is a vast space between protons and electrons. Of course, the spaces between Basic Space are no longer spaces. What is this Void? Academician Liu plans to study this after the Basic Space project is fully completed.
This Void is similar to the spatial collapse that occurs after an antimatter star explodes. If this technology could be mastered, its destructive power would be even greater than that of Virtual Matter. At least Virtual Matter can be defended against by manipulating space, but there is no way to defend against this Void; one can only wait for it to weaken and disappear naturally.
In the past, manipulating spatial power was like shooting an arrow at a blind person. Now, with a two-dimensional convex mirror or a two-dimensional prism, it's like giving a blind person an electronic eye, allowing them to accurately hit the bullseye.
The Basic Space, arranged in a certain order, forms Basic Energy. The Basic Energy, arranged in different orders, forms various particles. These particles, arranged in different orders, eventually form matter. Layer upon layer, they are precisely connected and inseparable. If any link in the chain breaks down, it will eventually cause the elements to collapse.
However, there is only one or two structures that make up the Basic Space and the Basic Energy, because there is also a composition of Virtual Matter. Now that we have mastered the Basic Space, the production of Virtual Matter will inevitably develop without limit. In the past, we could only extract virtual particles from the vacuum, and even though we knew that Virtual Energy existed, we could not synthesize it.
In addition, the appearance location and time of virtual particles are random, and the probability of instruments extracting them is extremely low. This also leads to a mismatch between the production of Virtual Matter and the number of instruments. Now it's different. Whether it is Virtual Matter or matter and antimatter, their composition is Basic Space.
With enough Virtual Matter, even the Fish Horse Star warship would no longer be a problem. The Fish Horse Star warship's defenses are strong enough that even a dimensional reduction attack cannot destroy it. Academician Zeng speculated that the composition of the Fish Horse Star warship should be similar to that of neutron star matter, where the spaces between particles are no longer empty. Coupled with the manipulation of space, the Fish Horse Star warship is able to evade the energy impact of a dimensional reduction attack.
There is no fourth dimension here now. We will study the fourth dimension after returning to the three-dimensional universe. The fleet's attack power will reach a new peak. Perhaps at that time, we will be able to manipulate space and dimensions at will, just like the Fish Horse Star Civilization, and take control of the battlefield.
However, all of this still requires sufficient time. For example, the extraction of the Two-Dimensional Basic Space. Although the three-dimensional Three-Dimensional Basic Space Three-Dimensional Basic Space can be destroyed by energy collision, reducing it to two dimensions, and the Two-Dimensional Basic Space will merge into a relatively macroscopic size, making it easier for the fleet to extract, the fleet's production capacity over tens of thousands of years is only enough for the Conqueror Fleet to use, and there is not much more. In order to cooperate with the Conqueror, Hu Yu has repeatedly strengthened the extraction of the Two-Dimensional Basic Space.
Now that we've reached the Three-Dimensional Basic Space, the speed will only be slower because the Three-Dimensional Basic Space will not merge back into the macroscopic state. Manipulating at this level to achieve sufficient macroscopic effects is not a simple matter. However, the most important step has been solved, and what remains is just an application issue.
Just like people on Earth wanting to go to Barnard's Star, the most important thing is the direction. If the direction is wrong, it is absolutely impossible to arrive. As long as the direction is right, whether you walk, drive, fly a plane, or fly a spaceship, you will arrive one day. Moreover, with the development of technology, this speed will only get faster and faster. Now, Academician Liu is the one who points out the direction.
With the discovery of the Basic Space, most of the fleet's research work has made rapid progress. The Basic Space is the foundation of everything in this universe. Whether it is a black hole that devours everything, flowers and plants, or intelligent beings of civilization, they are all composed of the Basic Space.
Eight thousand years later, the first Two-Dimensional Energy was synthesized by Academician Li Youwei. Whether it is three-dimensional or four-dimensional energy, the structure is three-dimensional. There is no two-dimensional or four-dimensional Basic Energy. This point puzzled the academicians. In the end, they could only explain it by saying that three-dimensional is the most stable structure.
Because life and civilization only exist in a three-dimensional universe. It's unknown whether they exist in a two-dimensional universe, but at least there are no native life forms in four-dimensional space. All life forms in four-dimensional space entered from a three-dimensional universe. The Two-Dimensional Energy that is now synthesized is like Reversed State; it doesn't belong to this universe.
Two-Dimensional Energy is not only offensive but also stealthy. What's even more terrifying is that if Two-Dimensional Energy is released in large quantities in three-dimensional space, it can reduce the dimensionality of three-dimensional space. In the past, several Great Star Region Civilization reduced the dimensionality of space in four-dimensional space by extracting energy, turning four-dimensional space into three-dimensional space.
Now that three-dimensional space has become two-dimensional space, energy should theoretically be extracted, since three-dimensional space is a high-energy space compared to two-dimensional space. This is indeed the case, because the synthesized energy is Virtual Energy. Two-Dimensional Virtual Energy can annihilate three-dimensional positive energy, thus reducing the dimensionality of the three-dimensional universe.
Energy is everywhere in four-dimensional space. Although the three-dimensional universe does not have as much energy as the fourth dimension, particles still precipitate out in the true vacuum environment, indicating that the energy in the three-dimensional universe is not as scarce as imagined. It's just that this energy is usually insufficient to be extracted for the fleet's use.
As long as this energy is consumed by Virtual Energy, so that no more particles are released from the true vacuum environment of the three-dimensional universe, the three-dimensional universe will also be reduced in dimension. In the past, academicians have also come up with methods to force dimensional reduction, but it is very difficult to implement. Now, the new dimensional reduction method is much easier to implement.
The reduction of dimensions in the three-dimensional universe is terrifying. At the moment of reduction, it is as if a black hole is created. If the Sun were reduced to a lower dimension, it would mean that this area of space would disappear. In order to fill this void, the surrounding space would desperately move towards the Sun, and this force would be unstoppable.
The power of space is both the weakest and the most powerful force. All forces originate from the power of space, and the four fundamental forces are merely manifestations of it. No matter how intense the wars between civilizations may be, the power of space will eventually restore space to its original state, and no force can stop it.
The Basic Energy structure has been analyzed and completed, and the fleet is currently being synthesized. However, the fleet does not have enough robots or instruments, so the amount of energy synthesized is pitifully small. At this rate, it is unknown when a warship will be able to be built.
