Great Power Technology

"So, the point of all this is to be able to communicate?"

"That's right. This is another of their views. They believe that the reason why the 'Pump Law' exists is because civilizations in different dimensions have not formed effective communication - no, it should be said that weak civilizations in other dimensions , did not learn the language of strong civilization.”

"You see, cockroaches are something that all of us hate, and we want to kill them all, but if one day, your cockroaches suddenly form a line on the ground, it says 'Hello, I don't If I eat your food, I will be self-reliant and I will stop large-scale reproduction, will you still kill them without hesitation?"

".I will - of course, I may study them for a while first and kill them later."

Seeing the sly smile on Lin Ling's face, Ye Zhou reacted instantly.

Yes, this is the real purpose of the pet faction - they are actually not willing to be pets forever, their purpose is to gain time.

From this point of view, their goals are the same as the Pastoral Organization, but their strategies are more clever than the Pastoral Organization.

"It seems that the Western world is not completely useless, but they still have not solved the core problem. The contradiction between the two dimensions is irreconcilable. What if one day we achieve a technological leap and invent the water pump?"

"After all, a civilization is different from pets. Pets have an upper limit, but the development of civilization can almost be said to have no upper limit."

Lin Ling nodded and replied:

"So this is a theory that is still being perfected. Establishing contact is only the first step. After that, they can try to persuade each other through various means to let us survive - to be honest, establishing contact is not really important to us. There’s no obvious downside, anyway, even if we don’t contact them, they will still kill us.”

"However, I still don't like this road - I don't like being someone else's pet, not even for a second."

"Yes, I don't want to be a pet either. What's more, this is not the only way."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Ye Zhou continued:

"This theory has a big flaw. For example, we always have some children chatting with ants, flies and the like. If the social system of the adjacent dimensional civilization is similar to ours, this kind of situation should also happen. But the problem is, we have never received such information.”

"No, we received it."

Lin Ling interrupted Ye Zhou.

"We must have received it, we just can't understand it."

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment and did not refute again.

At this time, most of the dishes were placed on the table. The two of them started using their chopsticks. Lin Ling said while eating the meat in his mouth:

"The theory of the symbiosis school is considered to be one of the more reliable ones among the nearest adjacent dimension peripheral theories. Their goals are clear and their path in scientific research is also clear - after all, we have already observed quantum ghosts, so on this basis, we can further Expansion, at least in terms of technical feasibility, is not a big problem.”

"In addition to the symbiosis faction, there are many weird theories that have emerged. Some have theoretical foundations, but some are just whimsical ideas."

"tell me the story?"

Ye Zhou asked with interest.

Lin Ling opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly coughed violently. Ye Zhou quickly poured tea for her, and then subconsciously patted her back. It took a while for her to recover.

"Sorry. I'm choked. Anyway, there are many. For example, some people say that they should use spiritual methods to solve this problem, so that humans can become souls and travel to another dimension. For example, some people say that they should use singularity explosions to open up all dimensions and bring all dimensions together. The ponds represented are all connected together to achieve energy balance; there is another one that I think is the most feasible - of course this is compared to all these fantastic ideas - but also the craziest."

"What is it?"

"This theory was proposed by Siddev, a well-known high-energy physicist in the Ugly Kingdom. He believes that the energy conversion between adjacent dimensions is likely to be related to antimatter."

"That is to say, there is a 'brane' between the two dimensions. This membrane is composed of enriched antimatter. When the matter of a universe collides with the antimatter, the energy generated by the annihilation will be radiated to two simultaneously. in the dimension.”

"The energy extraction in adjacent dimensions is not actually extraction in the true sense, but to a certain extent, they can control the movement of their positive matter there and prevent their positive matter from flowing to this membrane."

"This theory simultaneously explains the two problems of the imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe and the inability to exchange matter between adjacent dimensions. It also explains how energy is extracted in adjacent dimensions."

"Extracting is not really extracting, but building a dam in a specific area. Building a dam to block the water on your side from overflowing, and at the same time, the water in another pond randomly overflows. Over time, the energy in the other dimension will become less. ?"

"Anyway, this is a theory developed from Maxwell's goblin theory. It seems to have many loopholes at present. For example, it cannot explain why humans have not observed large-scale annihilation energy of matter and antimatter yet - but he also proposed some Guessing, he believes that such annihilation is likely to occur in the dark matter region."

"But whether the theoretical exploration is correct or not is not the point. The point is what he said, which is amazing."

"What did he say?"

Ye Zhou knew that this man named Sid Jeff had attended the first conference on the adjacent dimension crisis as a representative of the Ugly Kingdom - and more importantly, this man was Bruce, the leader of the Hermes Organization. Conn's close friends don't know how he managed to survive alone when the other person was wanted worldwide.

"He said the key to solving the adjacent dimension problem was to disrupt the other person's motivations."

"The original motivation of adjacent dimensional civilizations is to ensure their own survival, the secondary motivation is to destroy civilizations in other dimensions, and the third level motivation is to absorb energy. This is a progressive relationship. We only need to be at a certain point in time when a motivation arises. Interrupting it would put an end to all subsequent crises.”

"So, combined with his theory, he feels that if the results of the motivation to absorb energy are contrary to what the adjacent dimensional civilization expects, then they can no longer take the next step."

"Didn't I say it before? He believes that there is a membrane composed of antimatter between the two dimensions, which cannot be penetrated by normal matter. But what if we can artificially create a large amount of antimatter?"

"These anti-matter bombs can pass through that membrane and directly pose a threat to neighboring civilizations - just like our strategic nuclear missiles."

After listening to Lin Ling's explanation, Ye Zhou shook his head and said with a smile:

"This is even more naive than Pet Pie. Not to mention how we can make anti-matter bombs. Even if we make them, how can we accurately drop these bombs where we want them to go?"

"So, this is also his own problem. However, he came up with a solution to this problem."

"What solution?"

"Invert the material properties of the entire universe."

Ye Zhou froze on the spot for a moment, opened his mouth, but did not say anything.

After a long time, he asked in disbelief:

"You mean, he wants to turn our entire universe into a giant bomb?"

"Yes."

Lin Ling nodded and continued:

"This is the ultimate deterrent. Think about it, if we were really all made of antimatter, who would dare to extract our energy? We can directly penetrate the antimatter membrane, rush into their dimension, and destroy their world. Blast to pieces."

Ye Zhou frowned slightly, he seemed to have caught the loophole in this strategy.

"But the question is, if this is the case, wouldn't we become the public enemy of all civilizations? Think about it, a civilization that may bring destruction at any time, no one can let it survive in this world for a long time, right? ?”

Lin Ling's face showed a sly smile again. She took a sip of tea and then said:

"That's what I find most interesting about this solution - we don't have to actually turn everything into antimatter."

Hearing this sentence, Ye Zhou suddenly realized.

Yes, countries with nuclear weapons do not necessarily need to have nuclear weapons, but they only need to have the technology to build nuclear bombs in a short time.

In the same way, antimatter deterrence does not necessarily need to be converted into antimatter, but only requires launching a man-made antimatter bomb anywhere in the opponent's dimension.

The explosion of that bomb was a signal, a signal that mankind had mastered antimatter conversion technology.

As long as the civilizations in adjacent dimensions receive this signal, they will never extract energy again, because they don't know whether what is extracted is energy or bombs.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that Siddev's "antimatter membrane" is correct.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou asked:

"So, from your professional point of view, do you think his theory may be correct?"

Lin Ling shook his head and replied:

"I don't know. This theory has a fatal flaw, which is that it needs to introduce the concept of 'dark matter' that cannot be explained at all in physics."

"An important principle of scientific research is not to add entities unless necessary, but now, he has added entities to his theory."

"This makes it even more difficult to judge the validity of this theory - but time will tell."

"The research on adjacent dimension problems is still in its infancy. There are all kinds of novel theories emerging. Who knows which one is correct?"

"Maybe one day in the future, we can really use an anti-matter bomb to deter all other civilizations."

Ye Zhou nodded silently, took a large piece of beef from the plate and put it into Lin Ling's bowl, and then said:

"Eat, eat more, the future of mankind depends on you."

Lin Ling chuckled and replied:

"It's up to us."
