A drunkard even swore that he could see his own back if he just turned his head on the street. Such a weird statement naturally caused a lot of laughter from the civilians.
Lynn had no intention of taking a break. After explaining what had happened, he asked Harof and others to form a team to conduct dimension and space research, and to select wizards who were specialized in theoretical studies.
They may not be able to help with actual research, but their wild imaginations may be able to play a role.
You have to know that truly cutting-edge technology is often calculated directly on paper!
However, having learned a lesson from the previous accident, Lin En did not dare to continue his research in the royal capital. After careful consideration, he planned to move the research laboratory for element VII to the moon.
It's not that he was careless before. In fact, Lin En had set up extremely powerful protective magic in the research room of his own mansion. It's a pity that it didn't play much of a role in the face of the power of a higher dimension.
……
After emergency deliberations and discussions in the parliament, members of the dimension and space research team were selected one by one. If Lin En had not limited the number of people to fifty, the parliamentarians would have wanted everyone to go together.
Everyone knows that this is a rare opportunity, especially those wizards who have traveled to foreign lands to carry out missions, who understand this deeply.
I had only been there for less than half a year, but when I came back, I found that the kingdom had become a different place. All my colleagues had been promoted, leaving me alone where I was, so the competition for the places was very fierce.
Of course, there are disadvantages as well. Human life span is always limited. Staying in an area with a high time flow rate only means spending that time in advance. Some apprentices who have no hope of promotion like to stay in a place where time passes slowly. In this way, when they return to the kingdom, they can see many new and interesting things, just like traveling to the future!
The final result of the discussion was that half of the legendary speakers of the parliament would stay in the kingdom to preside over the subsequent development work, and then forty great wizards with outstanding achievements in magic research would be selected from among the great wizards to assist.
As for the site, it is also easy to deal with. Although the space-time gate from the Eternal Star to the Moon has already been opened, and the work of transforming the satellite into a habitable area is also underway, it is still very empty on the whole, and any area can be used as an experimental base.
After a night of discussion, dozens of relevant proposals were placed in front of Lin En.
Harof wanted to take people to study whether the planet's gravity would continue to work in the independent space that was separated. Judging from the descriptions of the civilians who entered the streets, gravity still existed, otherwise they would have floated up long ago. However, whether it would have other impacts still needed further research.
Vittorio is even prepared to go a step further and put the laws of chemistry and physics to the test.
Several wizards from the Nature Conservation Association are planning to engage in farming and breeding in areas with high time flow rates... If they succeed, then there will be no need to worry about food at all. Just a piece of land of about one million acres will be able to supply food for tens of millions of people, which is enough to cope with the kingdom's ever-increasing population.
In addition, there are also suggestions on how to establish communication and real-time transmission between areas with different time flow rates, or to bring in a group of demon bats with a lifespan limit of three months to observe whether their lifespan will increase or decrease...
Lin En went through all the proposals one by one, refuted some experiments that were too outrageous, and agreed to the rest.
The considerations of Harov and others are basically very comprehensive. Many experiments will not only be conducted internally, but the parliament will also send people to establish corresponding experimental control groups on the moon to ensure the accuracy of the data.
This is also the reason why Lin En asked the parliament to set up a research group. Once others have done the miscellaneous work, he can spend more computing power on more important things.
The most important thing is of course peace of mind!
In the following month, after Lin En gradually became familiar with the space-time characteristics of element seven on the uninhabited moon, he took action himself and used his divine power to peel off an area with a total area of about 100,000 square kilometers.
It was a very wonderful feeling, just like driving a small sailboat on a rough sea, and there was a risk of being swallowed by the quantum tide at any time if you lost your shelter.
Just like the first, second and third dimensions, the fourth dimension also has two directions. The farther away from the original coordinates, the more obvious the space distortion and speed change.
After some research, Lin En directly divided this "distance" into corresponding time units. Each time unit is equivalent to twice the time flow rate of the Eternal Star, and it can also enter the area with low time flow rate in reverse...
"Wait, could the main world be here too?" Lin En suddenly thought of this horrifying question and his brows immediately frowned.
He clearly remembered that at the beginning, when they opened the space-time gate between the two worlds, there was a 7.25-fold difference in the time flow rate between the two sides, but when all members retreated from the foreign land, the difference had been reduced to less than seven times. Judging from the current situation, this means that their positions are getting closer and closer.
Once the flow rate difference drops to zero, one of the two worlds will be captured by the other, or merge with each other.
The gods of the main world mostly use this method to find and assimilate planes...
However, Lin En's frown relaxed, because according to his guess, except for the coordinates of the fourth dimension, the coordinates of the other three dimensions of the two universes should also be different.
Just like throwing a small ball in any direction with any force, the probability of hitting a fixed three-dimensional coordinate by chance is extremely small.
Realizing this, Lin En focused his mind and refocused his energy on research, starting to try to maximize the difference in the speed of time flow.
Double... triple... quadruple...
The stripped experimental base was getting further and further away from the original coordinates. Linn clearly felt a slight pressure, and the consumption of magic power began to surge to resist the increasingly intense quantum tide...
Chapter 630: Use the continent as a ship and quantum as the sea!
The endless quantum sea, the beginning and end of everything.
A continent with a diameter of about 100,000 square kilometers is now like a lone boat in a storm, drifting in the quantum ocean. Lin En is like an experienced helmsman, always using the coordinates of the Eternal Star as a fixed point to sail in this quantum ocean.
However, there were obviously more "travelers" in the quantum sea. After Lin En increased the relative speed of time flow to more than ten times, he vaguely sensed the existence of other planes.
This is not intuitive seeing, but the perception of the other person's existence through changes in the curvature of space.
These beings, which also float free in the quantum sea, are extremely large in size, and the influence of gravity can cover four dimensions at the same time.
Like a giant ship cutting through the waves across the sea, ripples spread in all directions.
Since he could sense it so clearly, it proved that the other party was most likely very close to them. Lin En could even roughly restore the general outline of that plane in his mind, but he did not dare to contact it rashly.
The universe is really too dangerous. The technology of Geometric civilization is already considered good, and it can even create cosmic wonders such as black holes. However, there are three such level six civilizations in this galaxy, and galaxies like this are as numerous as grains of sand in the universe.
Soon, as the speed of time continued to increase, the ripples in space began to become disordered, which showed that there were many "travelers" in the current area, some of whom were motionless or as slow as a snail, while others were as fast as lightning, constantly moving.
Just when Lin En increased the four-dimensional coordinate to fifteen times the time node, one of the targets in the spatial perception suddenly moved towards this side.
Lin En immediately became nervous. The fact that the other party dared to approach actively probably meant that they were fully confident and might be a very powerful civilization.
Just when Lin En was considering whether to escape by speeding on the "boat", the latter disappeared abruptly.
It disappeared without a trace, and the vibrations caused by its gravity could no longer be felt.
At first, Lin En thought that the other party might have used some method to temporarily eliminate the influence of gravity, just like a submarine lurking on the seabed preparing to raid a ship needs to turn off the radar to avoid being detected.
But Lin En quickly rejected this idea, because the opponent's speed of moving in the dimension was much faster than his own. If he decided to launch a surprise attack, he would have already launched the attack.
Now a long time has passed, but there is still no movement.
"Could it have been destroyed?" Lynn thought with his imagination running wild.
Of course, this possibility is very low. It is more likely that something more important suddenly happened, so time and space jumped to other places.
The near-war situation temporarily gave up Lin En's plan to move deeper into the quantum sea.
He also noticed that compared to the Eternal Star or the universe, the area within ten times the flow rate is relatively safe. This is probably because low-level civilizations do not have the ability to traverse the quantum ocean, and for advanced civilizations that can control dimensions, a mere ten times the flow rate will not have much effect.
In addition, the surging consumption of divine power also made Lin En a little unbearable. If he wanted to maintain a high time flow rate stably for a long time, he needed to continuously consume divine power to resist the baptism of the quantum tide. The greater the flow rate difference, the deeper he went into the quantum sea, the more consumption would be.
In the end, Lin En chose to adjust the speed of time to about ten times. After making sure that there were no other "travelers" near this speed area, he devoted some of his attention to checking the movements of Harov and others.
During the time when Lin En was concentrating on manipulating the changes in dimensional coordinates, the wizards who entered together had already begun drastic transformation work.
In view of their experience in the foreign land, several legendary speakers directly joined forces to build a large fusion furnace to provide light source as the sun, and relied on turning the fusion furnace on and off to simulate the changes of day and night.
The next step is to improve the soil quality and produce oxygen. This is the responsibility of the wizards of the Nature Conservation Association. By planting a magical plant called "weaving mushroom", these two points can be achieved at the same time, and a certain amount of light source can also be produced at the same time.
The initial transformation plan took several months and covered an area of approximately 10,000 kilometers, one-tenth of the separated continent.
With magic, the most versatile tool, progress became extremely fast. In less than half a year, the originally barren continent had already appeared with a moving emerald green color.
The next step is to place organisms and build an eco-circle...
"This is just like the creation of the world!" Raphael said with emotion as he looked at the vast grassland, jungle and river passing by in front of him.
Sanchez also nodded complacently. That large jungle was his masterpiece. It was hard to imagine that this place was a barren desert not long ago.
But the next moment, a voice rang in everyone's ears.
"We are still a long way from creating the world..."
The person who spoke was naturally Lin En. After finishing various attempts in the Quantum Sea, he had been observing everyone's experiments.
On the surface, it seems that the ecosystem established by Sanchez and others is good. By releasing an appropriate amount of predators and prey, a primary ecological cycle is formed. However, it is also lacking a lot of things, such as the microbial community, which is simply growing wildly.
Lin En was sure that once they left, all the creatures inside would die out within a dozen years.
Secondly, the place is still too small. One hundred thousand square kilometers sounds large, equivalent to the area of a small country, but it is still too difficult to complete a complete ecological cycle without external assistance.
Small-scale ecological disorder is likely to cause a chain reaction and lacks the ability to self-regulate.
After listening to Lynn's narration, Raphael felt somewhat embarrassed for what he had just said. He certainly understood that the ecosystem they had built was not perfect yet, and he had only spoken from his heart before.
Lin En did not blindly blame others. He pointed out these flaws only to prevent everyone from getting too complacent. In fact, their experiments had already achieved quite a few results.
At least it has been proved that it is completely feasible to use high time velocity areas to grow crops and engage in animal husbandry, it is just a matter of whether the technology is up to standard.
In addition, just as they had expected, the gravitational pull of the sun still affected this continent, and even the gravity changes they felt were very slight, which made everyone feel amazed, because they couldn't see where the sun was at all.
Chapter 631: Lin En's Planet Upgrading Plan
"How exactly does the gravity of the moon and the sun affect this place?" Harov was puzzled. They had clearly left their original position and could not receive any light from the stars.
He even tried to dig down, only to find that there was nothing underneath the rock layer and it wasn't connected to anywhere.
"This is probably because our three-dimensional coordinates have not changed." Lin En said thoughtfully.
"So we are still here now?" Raphael found it hard to understand.
"You can say that." Lin En laughed. "For example, this continent is a point on a plane coordinate system, and the X-axis and Y-axis are both 1. Now the coordinate system has been transformed from a plane to a three-dimensional solid, with an additional z-axis, and only its three-dimensional coordinate system has changed, from 1 to 10. What about the X and Y axes? Can you say that they have changed?"
All the wizards present immediately fell into deep thought. They all had a good level of mathematics knowledge, so they could naturally understand the high-dimensional theory that Lin En explained using the coordinate axis as an example.
Gravity can penetrate four dimensions. Since the coordinates of the first three dimensions have not changed, the sun and the moon can still affect the stripped continents beneath their feet in these three dimensions.
It's like two people standing opposite each other but unable to raise their heads, and one of them suddenly flies ten meters into the air. Then to the other person, the other person suddenly disappears, and he can't see any human figures in front, behind, left or right. However, the two parties shouting can still hear each other, because the propagation of sound involves three dimensions.
One of the evidences is that Lin En had previously restored the street to its original position simply by changing the fourth-dimensional coordinates.
You have to know that the universe is constantly changing. The Eternal Star is revolving around the sun at a speed of 30 kilometers per second. The galaxy where they are is also rotating at a very fast speed towards the huge gravitational source in the center of the river. Even the galaxy itself is moving.
If there were no gravity pulling them back, they would have flown billions of kilometers away by the time they returned.
Seeing that Harof and others had understood what he meant, Lynn did not explain any more. Instead, he looked at Vittorio and asked about his experiment.
"Many classical physical laws become chaotic here, but the microscopic laws are still valid..." Vittorio replied. During this period, he conducted more than a thousand experiments and discovered many interesting things.
For example, the gravitational acceleration within this continent is an uncertain value, with an approximate error of about 15%, which may be related to the change in coordinates of the fourth dimension.
Some chemical reactions also became much more intense here, but he hadn't figured out the specific reasons yet.
As for the cosmological constants such as absolute zero, the speed of light in a vacuum, and the gravitational constant, there is no change.
Lin En nodded, which was consistent with his previous guess.
"By the way, Speaker Lin, how many times has the speed of time on this continent increased now?" Harov asked curiously.
