Chapter 42 The Second Way to Go

"We seemed to have made a mistake!" Rose took a pen and drew the route we had taken before on the sketch board. In fact, she was using the path we had already taken to draw a map. A few dozen minutes ago we entered this huge maze array. The entrance to the maze had clear requirements. We could only travel through the maze in the most common way. Using brute force to destroy the maze or using guide props will be directly teleported outside this love holy land, and it is prohibited to enter again within a few weeks. There is no way, Rose and I had to use the stupidest method to draw the map by ourselves using the route we have taken.

Rose and I are quite lucky because although this maze is made of plants, we have electronic brains, so we can clearly record the routes we take. In our opinion, those plant isolation walls that are the same as ordinary people have their own characteristics and can be used as road signs. However, because this maze is unusually large and has an overpass-style three-dimensional structure and point-to-point teleportation array inside, our sense of direction is almost completely unstable. Even if we draw a map, we have to divide it into areas and draw it separately because we don’t know the relative positional relationship between the two areas at all.

I looked at Rose and asked her, "What mistake did we make?"

"This is not a flat maze at all."

"Is it a three-dimensional maze?"

"It's not only a three-dimensional maze, but also a maze that changes at any time. You see, according to the path we have walked, this place should have been in the future, but we walked back to the previous section of the road. Look at the plants on the roadside, we just came here before. We are turning around."

"It seems unlikely to pass directly, should I take a chance?"

Rose shook his head. "I don't know. The maze we walked in China was arranged according to the five elements and eight trigrams, and we can walk out according to certain rules. There should be similar reference standards for courtship in Europe, but we just don't know."

"Is there any classic legend of mazes in Europe?"

"Wait." Rose closed her eyes and paused for a while, and when she opened her eyes again, she said: "The Maze guarded by the Taurus, the world's largest garden maze, the Liberian digital maze equation, and the human maze theory. Which do you think is it?"

"The Taurus Maze has only been mentioned in legends and does not have any explanation for the specific way of walking. Even if all Europeans know that there is such a maze, no one will succeed in passing. The Liberian digital maze equation is too big, and those who know this thing can basically be considered scientists. There will be no such difficult questions. Besides, this has nothing to do with love. The Garden Maze and the Human Maze are more likely, but although the Garden Maze is a famous tourist attraction, it cannot guarantee that every European knows the specific way of walking, so the possibility is not high."

"That's the maze of human nature!" Rose threw the side of the map back to the Phoenix Dragon Space. "I know what cleverness is now, but I'm just mistaken for cleverness!"

I smiled and stretched out my hand to Rose. Rose immediately took my arm. We walked forward together, no longer caring about the right or wrong of the route, nor did we calculate which corner to take a higher success rate. The so-called human nature maze is a bit similar to the Chinese Taoist saying that goes with the flow, that is, don’t pursue anything deliberately, otherwise you will lose out the more you find it. In fact, it is very simple to pass through this maze. As long as both parties trust each other, you can just take a walk. Anyway, you will turn around at will. As long as you walk the length of the route required by the maze, you will naturally reach the exit. It can be said that every fork in this maze is a dead end, or it can be said that every fork leads to the exit.

According to our guess, after walking for a while, a portal suddenly appeared in front of us. After passing through the energy gate, we found that we had reached a mountain.

"Wow...! Have we arrived in Shushan?"

"I don't think so." I pointed to the long bridge in front of me and said, "Did you see that bridge? If it was Shushan, it should have been replaced with piles of floating stones."

In fact, where we are standing now is a platform of more than ten square meters. Below the platform is a mountain that is almost vertical. Rather than standing on the top of a mountain, we are standing on the top of a pillar, but the pillar has reached the clouds. Not far ahead of us, there is a long bridge connecting the real mountain opposite. The only problem is that this bridge is of the type that you can feel that it will collapse immediately. The bridge body is made of green rattan. Although it looks thick, I know that such rattan does not actually have much bearing capacity, and is not as strong as dry branches in comparison.

"I don't think this thing looks very reliable."

"I think so too. But don't worry." With a bang, my wings spread out. "I can fly." As I said that, I jumped forward suddenly and waved my wings. Bang... "Oh!" I jumped up and couldn't fly, but fell to the ground in a flat position. "Flying is prohibited in this ghost place!"

"Then you can only rely on it." Rose said as she was already leading the way to Fuji Bridge.

There are only two tightened rattans on both sides of the vine bridge as handrails, and these two rattans are completely unconnected from the bridge deck. When you walk on it, you will feel that both sides are empty and your heart will be beat faster unconsciously. As for the bridge deck, although there are a few more rattans than the handrail, there are only a few more rattans. On both sides of the bridge deck are two rattans twisted into thick vines, and between them are a zigzag line connected back and forth, which means that the bridge deck cannot be considered a flat surface at all. It is even larger than the hole in the fishing net. If you want to step on this, you can only move forward one by one by one.

You should know that "Zero" can reproduce most of the situations in reality, which of course also includes physiological reactions. When a person walks on such a bridge, he will become very nervous unconsciously, which will lead to muscle tightening. This reaction will be reflected truthfully in the game, and it will also cause your endurance value to drop at a speed of two to six times the usual speed. In addition, we must realize that the length of this bridge is much more than 500 meters, which means that in a highly tense state, most people may exhaust their endurance value if they walk less than halfway. Of course, if you fall down in advance, you don’t have to worry about not having enough endurance.

Watching Rose walk to the bridge, but I don’t plan to go up with her. It is very stupid to go up with two people. Compared to two people, the possibility of one’s weight causing the suspension bridge to break is obviously smaller, and the shaking of the two people moving forward together will affect the other’s smooth progress, which is a very unreasonable arrangement.

It is slightly different from the way that ordinary people pass the suspension bridge. Rose does not show any tension at all, and she does not hold the rattan and walk while crying or simply hold the rattan and refuses to leave like most girls. In fact, Rose's spirit is stronger than that of most men. She just opened her hands and trotted all the way. With the reaction and balance ability of us dragon clan members, this kind of bridge is purely a children's toy.

After the rose passed, I also walked onto the vine bridge. Of course, I didn’t dare to run over like the rose. It was not because I was timid, but because I was heavier than the rose. In the game, my weight was 65 kilograms, and after putting on the armor, it weighed about 130 kilograms. The total weight of the rose fighting was less than 60 kilograms, so she could run, but I could only climb. A single rattan could not hold my weight at all, so I could only share the weight with my limbs. This was the first time I discovered that the magic dragon armor actually had shortcomings!

Anyone who knows a little physics knowledge should know. When hanging an object in the middle of a tight rope, the rope bears the greatest tension, so the real danger is at the middle point of the bridge. As long as I cross this area and the bridge continues, it is generally fine. Unfortunately, I had not yet reached that position. Unfortunately, it happened before I could reach that position. A rattan used to support the bridge board was broken suddenly and followed the entire bridge body and flipped to the right. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and quickly turned over. Then I hooked the rattan that was stored. The problem was that the two rattans before could not bear my weight, let alone the current one?

Sure enough, the vine broke while I grabbed it. But I still would not give up. At the moment when the fall began, I raised my hand and shot out a dragon-strength piercing cable. It accurately nailed into the opposite cliff. As long as the head of the cable was not loose, I could use the cable to climb up. However, this damn terrain completely tricked me. Just after I fell three meters, there was a plop, and I fell into the water in a flat position.

It turned out that the place we appeared before was not the top of the mountain, but a stone platform that was only more than three meters above the ground. As for the "cliff" opposite, it should be more suitable. The reason I misled my position was because of three inconspicuous reasons. First, there was a thick layer of mist two meters below the stone platform, so that I regarded it as a sea of ​​clouds. Second, the wind in this ghost place was so strong that I mistakenly thought it was the top of the mountain. Third, this place was very cold, which made me feel that it was a high altitude. If I could ignore the above three problems and find the actual situation here, just swim directly from below. The bridge was completely confusing.

Just after I fell into the water, there was another pounce. It turned out that Rose jumped down. She thought it was a cliff like me, so she jumped down after seeing me falling down. When I ejaculated the zip line, my body had fallen into the fog. So she didn't see it. At least this shows that Rose cares about me very much. Maybe this broken bridge is to test the couple's reaction in this regard! Of course, it would be fine if the couple in love really jumped down. After all, falling into the water from a three-meter high ground, no matter what position I took, there would be no big problem.

Rose actually regretted it as soon as it jumped out. First, she suddenly heard the sound of my falling into the water, and knew that it was not deep at all. Second, she remembered that this was a game, and there was no need to live and die together. Just now she jumped out was purely an instinctive reaction. Even if it was a cliff below, she jumped out, but it was meaningless.

"Ah... I'm fooled!" Rose shouted loudly.

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect that there was such a setting in Europe. With our intelligence, we actually got trapped!"

"I'm so angry!" Rose shouted loudly: "Husband, please swim with my voice! The lake shore is next to me."

"Don't move, I'll be there soon." I didn't have to swim at all. The dragon tendon rope had already shot on the rocks on the shore before, but the lake was too close to me, so before the rope was tightened, I hit the lake first. Now I just need to tighten the zipper, and the traction force will naturally pull me to the other side.

"So you've already hung on the cliff?" Rose understood when she saw me coming to her so soon.

"Hehe, who am I, your husband? Even if it's really a cliff below, I can still go up there. Ah..." I suddenly covered my mouth halfway through my words.

"What's wrong with you?"

I quickly reached under the water and touched it for a long time, then suddenly pulled something out of the water. "What's this?"

“A little like a halibut.”

The things I hold in my hand are indeed very similar to flounder. However, they are two pairs, sticking together with each other, so that each fish is responsible for one side, and the dangers on both sides can be seen, which is much cheaper than a fish. However, although this magical fish looks like flounder, it is definitely not flounder, because flounder is definitely not as good as their teeth.

"This thing is quite good at biting people, but fortunately there are not many." I don't know what happened today. I probably didn't look at the almanac, but I actually said whatever I said. I just said that the number of this thing was not large, and I heard a drizzle of water coming from a distance. It was obviously the sound of many fish rushing towards this side.

"Haha, it seems that you have the potential of a crow's mouth, husband!"

"Go up first, otherwise you will be bitten into bones in a while!" I hugged the rose's waist, then threw it hard, and threw the rose on the shore. With my strength, it was not difficult to throw the rose to a place more than three meters high. Without the rose, I was even simpler myself. I pulled the dragon tendon rope and kicked the rock a few times and climbed up. As soon as I got on the shore, I heard the rumbling continuous collision sounds coming from below. I don't know how many fish hit the lake shore.

Rose was about to pull me away but suddenly stopped. I was about to ask what was going on, and I understood the reason first, because my call bell rang. "Who is looking for us at this time?"

"You know. Go offline and take a look!"

In reality, after I opened my eyes and pulled out the connection line on my cervical spine, I immediately received a notice from Nuwa, and then I was taken to my dad's office. Rose was already sitting inside.

"Dad. Are you looking for me? Is there anything to do? Could it be the party Nuwa said before?"

"No. There is still some time for the party. You know, it's not that easy to gather the upper class of people from all over the world. Besides, there will always be some trouble every special meeting. Our lives are relatively expensive. No one wants to die inexplicably, so everyone needs time to prepare."

Rose leaned against the back of the sofa and smiled coldly. "The liars are all gathered together, so there is no need to disguise. Although I have not attended this special meeting, I can probably imagine what a horrible place it is!"

My dad was amused by Rose's words. "Hahaha, I promise you won't think of what it would be like there. To be honest, I was very scared when I went there for the first time."

Seeing that my dad seemed to be off topic, I quickly asked again: "If you weren't going to that party, why are you looking for me?"

"That's right." My dad took me a stack of information and I roughly looked through it. They were all student files, nothing special. My dad explained while I was reviewing the files: "You also know that the solar system destroyers are getting closer and closer. Although our Longyuan Group has just completed the development of the fusion laser cannon, it will take at least one month to produce the physical object. Even if we blow that guy into outer space, its fragments are enough to make the entire solar system doom together."

“Don’t we already started the immigration program?”

"But that's not enough." Dad's voice was clearly worried. "Immigration plans cannot guarantee that everyone will be brought with me, and the immigration ship will become very dangerous after the launch. You must know that our current technology can only build simple space immigration ships and cannot build space warships, so when the immigration ships take off, safety work becomes extremely important. You should be clear. Although our country has a good reputation internationally, those superpowers like the United States and some crazy local forces will not miss this opportunity. They will inevitably engage in some terrible sabotage activities."

Rose said calmly: "If I were to give me a way to destroy the biggest enemy in one fell swoop, I wouldn't miss it."

"So, although space immigration looks good, there are many practical problems and great risks. Besides, even if everyone has taken off safely, I don't know where the site is on the other side! Our pioneer unmanned detector has already visited several planets that may be suitable for human habitation to survey, but that takes time. And we just lack time."

I said directly: "Dad, do you mean that you have to give up the immigration plan?"

Rose said: "How could it be possible to give up? I guess I plan to try some other measures."

"Rong Rong is still smart. I just attended the special meeting of the State Council. Now the central government's opinion after unification is to continue to increase investment in space immigration as its main development direction, but at the same time, it will not give up any possible development and research on other methods."

"Other methods? What other methods can there be? There are only two methods when the enemy comes, either kill the enemy or run away by yourself. The interception you just said is impossible, so you can only escape. Is there a third solution?"

Surprisingly, my father actually said in an excited tone: "We are really the only way to escape. But we don't have to run away on the spaceship!"

"If you don't run on a spaceship, how can you run? You can't drill into the middle of the earth. Anyway, the solar system will lose balance, and the explosion of supernova will blow the earth into pieces. Even if you drill into the core, it will be over. What else can we do besides running into space by taking a spaceship? You can't open a portal and run to an alien planet like in a cartoon, right?"

"You are really right. Our new research direction is really the portal."

"What? Dad, don't you have a fever?" I said as I reached out to touch my dad's head, but my dad slapped him off.

"What are you saying? No big or small!"

"You're not really planning to start researching portal technology?"

"Hehe. It's not that we're starting to study, but that we're already studying and have made breakthrough progress."

"What? Breakthrough progress? Has the research been really successful? What technology do you use? What principles do you rely on to operate? How can you achieve it? How big avenue can you open? Can you pass by someone? Can the equipment pass by? Can you determine the opposite teleportation location?"

My dad covered my mouth. "I'm not a scientist, I don't understand technology, anyway, the things are there. The primary experiment was successful, and we also sent a self-propelled robot to take a thirty-minute video. By the way, the robot also collected samples of soil and local organisms."

"There are creatures over there?"

"Yes. But because only thirty minutes have passed, there is no time for a comprehensive exploration. The things collected by the robot include several small plants and several insects. In addition, a high-level living organism similar to a mouse was also caught. Preliminary research has determined that this creature is very close to a mammal. The group of madmen in the Biological Research Institute recently seemed to be planning to let this creature mate with the mouse and try to give birth to offspring."

Rose and I were completely speechless. This was too fast! In the past, we had not done large-scale scientific research for 30 or 50 years, but this space gate experiment only took a few days? So many results were produced! Not only could it be transmitted and recycled, but we also found a living planet and brought back the samples.

"How did you study this? It's too fast!"

"Are you fast? I don't think so!" Nuwa's full analysis projection suddenly appeared in the room. My father immediately threw the explanation task happily when he saw Nuwa. Nuwa also said patiently: "You can ask me any questions you have. The research is my host. I have all the information here."

"Why is the research progress so fast?" I asked anxiously.

"Because we hardly studied anything." Nuwa's answer was quite unexpected. "The so-called portal should actually be called: the basic energy channel. Its main technical principles are very similar to the working principle of the ultra-electromagnetic engine. The difference is just the way of use. Therefore, many of these are ready-made technologies. After just a few small modifications, we completed the development of the first experimental space gate. As for connecting to a planet suitable for life for the first time, this should be considered a better luck!"

"Damn, how big is the space in the vast universe? This can make you meet! I really can't accept it!"

"So we are lucky!" Nuwa said with a smile.

Rose suddenly asked, "What principle does this space gate rely on to operate?"

"This is a bit complicated to say. I can only try to be simpler..."

Rose and I finally understood the principle of this thing after listening to it for a long time, but before understanding this principle, we have to figure out what energy space is. The so-called energy space is actually space. In the initial stage of the universe, the energy of the entire universe is concentrated at a point, and at this time it should be called outside the universe. However, outside the universe is actually just a concept, and it actually does not exist. There is actually nothing outside the universe, including space. At this time, if you have an object and you want to put it outside the universe, it is impossible to achieve it because there is not even space there. Where do you want to put an object? If you want an object to exist, there is at least enough space there to accommodate it. There is no space outside the universe, so no thing can appear outside the universe.

It is difficult to understand the concept of "nothing" outside the universe based on human thoughts. Anyway, you just pretend it does not exist. However, when the universe is concentrated at a point, due to energy overload, an explosion will occur. The explosion process first ejects outward from the basic energy, which we call this energy space. Anyone within the range covered by this energy is within the universe, but even if you cannot understand it, you must remember that the universe only has the inside but no outside, because its outside is the "nothing". Nothing means nothing, so the universe has no outside.

This layer of diffuse "space" energy is the basis of the entire universe. If you think it is difficult to understand, you can simplify it a little. We can plan this three-dimensional structure and imagine the universe as a table with a tight, high-elastic rubber film acting as a table. Material is an object on the table. You can place the object on the "table", but you must not put it outside the table. Because there is no place for you to put things there. But the object has a "weight", and this "weight" actually corresponds to the mass. Because this "table" is elastic, when the object is placed on the table, a depression will form, and the size of the depression depends on the "weight" of the object. At this time, you can first put an iron ball on this "table". Of course, the iron ball will be on the table made of rubber film.

Press out a large-scale depression, and at this time you put another small ball on the table. Because the table is no longer flat, the newly placed small ball will naturally roll towards the position where the ball was before, because it is the deepest place of the depression. If you regard these two small balls as two planets, you will understand what gravity is. The so-called universal gravity is just a kind of traction force generated by the collapse of space caused by mass. Because universal gravity is caused by mass. Therefore, all objects with mass have universal gravity, and the magnitude of this force varies according to the density of mass. Overall, energy space is a form of energy existence, and its main function is to form a supporting force field, so that matter can exist in it.

After understanding the energy space, you can understand what a black hole is. Let us return to the edge of the "table" just now. At this time, you can put something particularly heavy on the "table". Because the "desktop" cannot bear this huge "weight", the objects on it will crush the table and fall down the table, and a hole will be left on the table. This is a black hole. Therefore, a black hole is the collapse point of space, which is an energy phenomenon formed after matter is too concentrated and exceeds the upper limit of the carrying capacity of the energy space. Of course, although there is a hole here, the tilt of the energy space still exists. Therefore, according to the principle of universal gravitation, the black hole will naturally attract everything that has material properties passing by it.

After knowing the above things, you will understand the concepts of space and distance, which means you will understand half of the knowledge of the space gate. The remaining half is matter.

Only when this layer of energy, called "space" diffuses, "matter" can appear. This part is easier to understand. According to Einstein's famous mass-energy equation, energy and mass can be converted to each other. During the Big Bang, energy was converted into matter, thus forming three basic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. However, some energy is not completely converted, such as photons. Everyone knows that light has wave-particle didirectionality, that is, light can be regarded as matter or energy, and it is actually an energy that has not been completely converted. The quantum that everyone has heard of actually refers to this type of incomplete particles. In fact, quantum does not refer to a kind of matter, but all unstable particles can be regarded as quantum. This is the main reason why many countries regard the development of photon computers as a prerequisite for developing quantum computers, because light is also one of the quantums and is relatively easy to control.

The above mentioned geons, neutrons and electrons form various atoms, and then atoms form molecules to build objects. These are the content of high school physics and are the most basic knowledge. But after understanding these, just understand the concept of speed and you can formally explain what a space gate is.

According to Einstein's theory, the fastest speed in the universe is the speed of light. No matter can move faster than light. This theory is actually easy to understand. Let's imagine the concept of space. Now we can imagine space as a water ball, and matter exists in this water ball. Water itself has surface tension, so it can heal automatically, and energy space also has similar characteristics. When you move in water, water will separate in front of you and then close behind you. However, when matter moves in energy space, the space is not separated in front of you. Instead, it is used as a conducting matter to allow you to pass through it. But here space also has the ultimate healing ability like water. If you move too fast in water, it is possible that you have passed through a certain area of ​​water, and the ground water there has not yet closed immediately, which will form a vacuum zone under the water. The same is true for space. If you break through the speed of light, the space may be torn apart by you. The result is not that you are over the speed of light, but that you have made a big hole in the space.

Since a hole has appeared, you must have flew outside of space. As I said before, there is no space outside of space, and matter cannot exist in places without space. But don’t forget that matter is also converted from energy, and it is not essentially different from space itself. So what happens when we break through the speed of light and pass through space? It’s very simple. You will decompose it into basic energy and then turn into space energy to fill the hole you tear out. Simply put, you no longer exist. Because you no longer exist at the moment you break through the speed of light. So you have not broken through the speed of light at all, so the speed limit in the universe is the speed of light, but the space gate can subvert or bypass the above limitations.

First of all, we need to understand that the limit on the speed of light is only valid in the universe, and basic energy has no concept of speed, because basic energy is everywhere. It sounds a bit like something in mythology, but this is the real characteristic of energy. The function of the space gate is to interfere with the existence of space with a strong magnetic field, thereby creating artificial black holes. However, the key technical difficulty of the space gate is not to tear the space, but how to stabilize the torn space. As long as the energy is strong enough, the speed, electric field, magnetic field, any energy field or universal gravity.

All can tear apart the space. So tear apart the space is not too troublesome. The key is that you must tear out a stable hole, which means that you cannot let the space in this place collapse while tearing it open, otherwise the powerful gravity will suck the space door generator together with nearby matter and decompose it into energy and refilling the big hole. What the space door generator needs to do is tear out the space and keep it in a stable state. In this case, the space door is safe and reliable, otherwise it will not be a space door but a space bomb.

When an artificial black hole is formed, the remaining part is relatively simple. After you enter the black hole, you should actually be called energy, but because this is a stable black hole, although you are no longer matter, you are not torn to pieces by space energy. You still maintain your basic structure in the form of energy. This is very important. As long as every bit of matter in your body still maintains their original state, even if they become energy, you will not disappear, and you will still be you, but at this time you are actually a person composed of quantums. According to what I said before, energy has no concept of distance, and you can instantly enter other positions through any space obstacle, and this process is called space jumping or long-distance transmission. Anyway, the meaning is the same.

After leaving the black hole, after getting the support of energy space again, your body will instantly restore its material properties. At this time, the teleportation is over. The difference is that you may already be in another place in infinite distance from the starting point.
To be continued...
