Chapter 478 Matter that creates dimensions Yan Xia's attention was successfully diverted so that Haru no longer paid attention to the distance. He asked other Qiluo people to bring instruments to study the object carefully. When the instruments were brought out and touched the substance, they were swallowed up instantly. And the substance also grew a lot. "Our instruments use a special atomic arrangement structure. I didn't expect that this thing could also be swallowed." Haru was surprised. The flying civilization has a deep exploration in the microscopic field, which has allowed many things to be built in the microscopic field. The original structure between atoms is not very stable. For example, a laser cutting machine can easily cut some substances in half.
Similar objects of the flying civilization will not, because they build a "skeleton" between atoms, and they connect atoms with physical hard connections, rather than soft connections with electrostatic force or other forces. This strength is very terrifying. And the unknown substance swallowed their instruments without hindrance. This substance may be more microscopic than what they see. "It is very likely that it devours by destroying the microstructure." "Maybe we can use a magnifying glass to observe it." The Qiluo tribe itself actually has no optical organs. However, just as human civilization uses mechas to assist itself, as an advanced civilization, the Qiluo tribe will also use some other means to achieve light perception. The magnifying glass mentioned by Haru is actually a microscope. A microscope is actually a kind of magnifying glass. Of course, the opposite is also true. A magnifying glass is a kind of microscope. The flying civilization took the magnifying glass. It actually looks a bit like a telescope, a cylindrical shape, not big, half a meter long. It also gave one to Yan Xia. Yan Xia took the magnifying glass and looked at it. The magnification of this magnifying glass is very high. It looks small, but in fact, there should be many electronic components inside. These electronic components can use some optical superposition effects to magnify objects, and it will also release photons to the object. But the most critical point is. "This thing actually absorbs photons." Haru exclaimed after taking a look. Absorbing photons is also capturing photons, which is actually quite difficult. After all, photons are only affected by gravity, so how can such a small object absorb photons?
"It shouldn't absorb photons. After all, we can see that it is black, not the complete nothingness of a black hole." Yan Xia reminded. Haru reacted quickly. If it were normal, it would definitely think of this first. But this thing just gave it too much shock, causing its thoughts to be confused at this time. "Yes, it should have absorbed photons and then completed some kind of scattering inside." "Then just increase the power." Photons as basic particles cannot be swallowed and used. Unless this thing has entered another level, that is, a smaller dimension, and it has completed some kind of conversion inside. Photons are also strings, so as long as the strings are changed, photons can be changed into other substances, and then absorbed and used. But this thing does not have similar capabilities. It is too small. Perhaps the civilization technology that made it has not reached it. Haru directly irradiated this thing with a strong laser. In an instant, the substance became transparent. After they observed the object with a magnifying glass, they found that its structure was very microscopic. Under this magnifying glass that can magnify 1600 times, they can only see a dark and some tiny scaly objects. These scales also look very small in the magnifying glass. It is roughly equivalent to looking at the scales on a carp from 100 meters away. "There is no way to analyze it more accurately." Haru gave up directly. It was already close enough. If it was closer, the magnifying glass would be swallowed by the substance. If it didn't react, even it would be buried. Yan Xia never gave up. The human race itself is a race that mainly perceives the world with photosensitive organs. He is actually more sensitive to light than Haru. Any object seen by the eyes in this world is made up of light, whether it is white, green, purple... or black, these are actually light. Only the black of a black hole does not contain any light. In fact, a black hole is not black, but just nothingness, nothing. In the eyes of the human race, it is similar to black. Yan Xia observed the object carefully. It is actually always moving inside, or struggling.
It wants to leave the gravitational pull. But its power is really weak, and it can't break free from gravity. In its constant struggle, it always has an opening and closing movement like Pac-Man. If this is its mouth, then there should be a factory hidden in its mouth. Yan Xia pulled out a strand of his hair, and then carefully used electromagnetic force to send it to the small material structure he observed. Then he saw these small material structures begin to devour his hair, and almost at the same time, these small structures began to split into new structures. "Devour and split, a simple routine of cancer cells." Yan Xia thought that was all. It observed something subtle. When these objects increase in volume, the outer space will be distorted. Just like a person blowing up a balloon, the balloon will expand, and during the process of inflation, the observable space outside the balloon will be distorted. It's like this effect. "What is distorting space?" "Or is it just a simple distortion of light?" It is also possible that the air is distorted by the influence of energy, which then causes the light to be refracted crookedly, making it look like space is distorted. But this possibility was ruled out by the harsh summer. If such a situation occurs, it is obvious that the material may lose energy, but so far they have not observed any loss of energy. The photon only penetrates the material, it does not absorb the photon, so there is no loss. "What? What did you find?" Haru asked curiously at this time. After observing for such a long period of time in the severe summer, there must be something discovered. Yan Xia told Haru what he saw. Flying civilization is a microscopic civilization and has a better understanding of such subtle changes. "Pure light distortion requires gravity, and it's simply not possible to have such a large distortion." "It may be that it is really releasing some energy, but this energy is absorbed by it the moment it is released." Haru's guess is more reliable. This may be the means by which this substance transports energy. However, Yan Xia felt that this was illogical.
If it is energy transfer, it should be microscopic enough, such as electron transfer at the atomic level. This is relatively easy to achieve for advanced civilizations, and does not require such macroscopic energy transfer. But apart from this possibility, only the first space is distorted. This is even more unreliable than the strong gravity of the substance itself. "Or is it a problem of gravitational pull?" Haru continued to speculate. This is indeed possible. But it was all speculation, and Yan Xia decided to conduct a more in-depth test. "Turn off all the lights. I need to ensure that this space is in a relative vacuum." Not just light, but even other substances. After Haru complied, Yan Xia took out a laser pointer. This laser pointer is different from ordinary laser pointers in that it has two modes. A beam of light and flash. But this beam of light is a real beam of light, and its width is only one photon diameter. In other words, this is a line of light connected by photons. In addition, a flash is equivalent to releasing one photon per second. This thing is professional scientific research equipment, which is very useful when conducting some experiments. Not only are there lasers, but there are also electrons, protons, neutrinos, neutrons, muons, quarks, etc. Yan Xia took out this thing and shined it on the object. Through a magnifying glass he saw that after the light was turned off, the distance between the matter shrank, and when the light shone through it, it enlarged. The gap is enlarged to allow photons to pass through. At this moment, Yan Xia captured a situation. The object may be empty inside. He said: "Check the quality of this thing and see if it is empty inside." Haru quickly completed the test. "It's indeed empty." This answer made Yan Xia solemn. If the object is empty inside and it lets photons into it, then the photons should pass through it directly instead of being scattered. He asked Haru to look for the photons released by his laser pointer.
After continuously releasing single photons, Haru got the result. "Each photon leaves in a different direction, and it may not be empty inside." Inconsistent results. Maybe there is some gaseous medium inside it. But in fact, gas also has mass, and it is impossible not to detect it with the high-precision instruments of flying civilizations. "Perhaps there is an unknown substance." Haru and Yan Xia started a discussion. "Unknown substances cause photons to refract. These substances are still very active, so each photon leaves in a different direction." "The material inside these locations is probably not dense, it's very sparse, so we can't accurately judge its mass." Yan Xia summarized the results of the discussion. Here is the current direction of speculation. "Then why do these substances exist?" Perhaps they are energy sources for outer matter? But the quality of the energy is not so light and sparse. Haru thought about it carefully. "Did we discover conservation of energy?" It thought that this thing had swallowed its own instrument before, and then its size only increased a little, which was too little compared to the size of the instrument. This sentence enlightened Yan Xia. He experimented again. This time, he directly took out an unknown device next to him and stuffed it into the substance. The material absorbed it instantly and then completed the split. At this time, Haru's heart was bleeding. The device was not cheap. It was designed to detect microscopic particle tremors, that is, waveforms. But it knew what it should do now, and it carefully compared the weight changes before and after. "About of the material evaporated." "This is a vacuum. Logically speaking, such a situation would not happen." After Yan Xia heard the conclusion, he calculated it carefully. Unfortunately, he didn't have a secondary brain, so he calculated very slowly. After more than ten minutes, he got the result. "Its expansion ratio is less than 1%. If it absorbs of the matter, according to its size, it should increase its volume by ."
But it didn't. That is to say, part of the increased weight does not belong to the outer layer of matter, but to the inner layer of matter. After calculation, they quickly obtained the ratio of the inner and outer densities of the object. The density of the interior is likely to be dozens of times higher than that of the exterior. However, this is just a guess. They can't dissect the matter. But even so, there is still a question, where did the remaining matter go? "Energy conservation, these substances must have been consumed in another way." "Since it's not mass, then maybe it's gravity?" Yan Xia asked Haru to check the change in gravity. However, the change in gravity is proportional to mass. Just when they were puzzled, the Qiluo scholars who were observing the huge black waves in the distance sent a message. "The waves have swallowed up the star, and it is still expanding." "According to our observations, it is likely to be very empty inside, but it is not short of energy supply." "Based on its current size, it cannot be supported without the energy of hundreds of stars. Even as it continues to expand, it consumes a huge amount of energy every second." This is indeed abnormal. If we follow the volume increase of the substance they observed, then hundreds of stars may still be a conservative estimate, and it may take thousands or tens of thousands. "Even if the civilization in the four-dimensional space is really level or even level , do they have such a huge energy supply?" Haru raised this question. Obviously this is impossible. Although level 2 civilization is to develop and utilize the energy of a star system, it does not mean that the star will be used up. It is just collecting the energy radiated by the star. So even if it really reaches level civilization, its total energy reserves are still different from the total energy of a star. "Impossible." Yan Xia answered without hesitation. So how does this thing complete its expansion? Even if it doesn't need mass inside, the outer layer of mass is already large enough, even if it's just a thin layer. Yan Xia and Haru had this doubt in their hearts for many days. They didn't even say a word during these days, and they were all in deep thinking. This is a scholar.
The disappearing mass should be related to expansion. Yan Xia borrowed the computing power of the flying civilization spacecraft to think about it, but still didn't get an accurate answer. Until they discovered something. After thinking for more than 200 days, Haru observed the substance again, and he found that the mass of the substance had actually decreased, and the volume had also shrunk slightly. They seemed to have opened up their Ren and Du meridians in an instant, and almost at the same time thought of the possibility that had been ignored before. "Space!" "If it's not the filling of matter, then there is only space." "So that's it, this thing is creating dimensions."
