Great Power Technology

After three days in He Wen's hands, after communicating and discussing with his superiors, Ye Zhou led a professional team to Yunwei County.

At this time, the funeral supplies store where the incident occurred has been sealed off, and police officers on duty are stationed outside. Even the residents within a few hundred meters of the nearby area have been evacuated.

"Report the situation."

Ye Zhou looked at the staff at the scene and said.

"Reporting to the leader, a preliminary inspection of the on-site environment has been carried out. The temperature is normal, the air indicators are normal, and no leakage accident has been found."

"It has been confirmed that a sudden drop in temperature did occur on the day of the incident. A large part of the walls and floors in the store suffered from structural embrittlement after the drastic change in temperature, and in the core area, some concrete structures have been powdered."

"This proves that the mechanical properties in the structure have completely changed. Judging from the current evidence, what happened here is probably the adjacent-dimensional invasion event that we have deduced theoretically."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly. In fact, before arriving at the scene, he had basically confirmed through the case information given to him by Chen Hao that this matter was inseparable from the invasion of neighboring dimensions. Incapacitation, this is a typical symptom of the entropy jump region he saw in the simulator.

However, compared to the large-scale entropy increase jump in the simulator, the jump amplitude in this area is relatively much smaller - if it is really an extreme situation, then the person involved should not face suffocation and heart failure. It stops jumping and is directly broken down into a bunch of elementary particles.

"Is the situation safe inside now?"

he continued to ask.

"It is basically safe at the moment, but there is no way to confirm whether the invasion will happen again, so for safety reasons, we recommend that you do not go in again."

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"I have to go take a look, otherwise what would I do here? I'm not here for the data in your hands, I just want to see with my own eyes what will happen to the place where the entropy increase jump occurs."

"Collect environmental samples from the site, make backups, and pay special attention to retaining all data. This is our most valuable first-hand information and will have a significant impact on our future work."

The staff hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

With his authority, there was actually no way to restrict Ye Zhou's movements. Since the other party insisted on going and the danger was not high at the moment, it was not good for him to stop him any more.

After confirming that there was no problem, Ye Zhou tied a safety rope on himself with the help of the staff. The other end of the safety rope was tied to a high-power reel, which allowed others to start the operation as soon as danger appeared. The machine pulled him back.

The roads into the core area have all been cleared, and the small store that was originally filled with all kinds of goods was empty. After Ye Zhou entered the store, the first thing he saw was the low temperature spreading like growth rings on the ground. Brittle zone.

The reason for the formation of this area is that when the temperature drops to a certain critical value, the yield strength of the material increases above the fracture strength. The material reaches the fracture strength before yielding and breaks. The ceramic tiles laid on the ground The temperature changes are well presented.

Judging from its "annual ring" diffusion, the temperature of this area gradually decreases from the periphery to the center. In other words, the real entropy increase jump edge area may be very small, or even as large as a point. The surrounding damage is caused by the Schillard enrichment effect.

That is to say, after the first jump point appears, adjacent dimensional channels begin to spontaneously gather around the jump point and begin to absorb the surrounding energy at a speed much lower than the jump point, which also leads to a decrease in temperature. the root cause.

Continuing to walk forward, Ye Zhou saw that the situation became more and more tragic. The tiles on the ground had long turned into powder, and there were also stripes peeling off layer by layer on the walls. Even if they were touched lightly with their hands, Will cause the wall to collapse.

Fortunately, this wall is not a load-bearing structure and has no impact on the stability of the entire building.

Ye Zhou carefully searched for a possible jumping point in the mess. The staff on the side seemed to see his intention, so he pointed at the center of the "annual rings".

Ye Zhou looked in the direction of his finger. In the center of the ground, there was a hemispherical depression with a diameter of only two millimeters, marked with chalk.

And that depression is probably the jump point.

At the moment when the jump occurs, all the interaction forces between substances in this point disappear, and the substances instantly disintegrate into particle states and fly into the air, so this also leads to the fact that the surface of this hemispherical depression is almost absolutely Smooth, from Ye Zhou's perspective, he could almost see his own small reflection.

This jump point was so small that Ye Zhou almost ignored it without anyone reminding him.

However, the damage it caused was so great that it nearly killed three people and nearly destroyed an entire building.

If such jump areas continued to appear randomly, Ye Zhou could not imagine how serious the consequences it could cause.

After confirming that all the details were not missed, Ye Zhou greeted the accompanying staff and left the entropy jump damage area temporarily called "Area 1". Afterwards, he planned to continue to the hospital to have a look. Three injured people are still being treated there.

In the car, Lin Ling, who had been busy studying the test data, finally raised his head, looked at Ye Zhou and asked:

"Have you watched the scene? How was it?"

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"The situation is not very good. The jump area is small, but the damage is serious - you have also seen the report, what are your thoughts?"

"My idea is that this kind of power cannot be controlled by any country or institution on the earth. The distance between us and the enemy is still too far."

"It's not that far away. People have begun to attack across latitudes. We have just developed nuclear fusion."

Speaking of this, Ye Zhou sighed.

"I feel that this invasion of adjacent dimensions should be related to our fusion experiment. According to the previous predictions given by Quantum Ghost, the first entropy jump should not occur until 18 years later."

"But now. Is nuclear fusion technology the basis for ranking the other party's extinct civilization?"

Lin Ling frowned and replied:

"There are two possibilities. The first one is like what you said. The realization of steady-state discharge nuclear fusion is likely to change the level of our civilization and allow the other party to advance the attack schedule."

"There is another possibility that the quantum ghost gives the time point of large-scale invasion, or the iconic time point that causes heavy losses. In this process, the invasion of adjacent dimensions has always existed. "

Hearing her words, Ye Zhou nodded slightly, and then asked:

"Which possibility do you prefer?"

"I prefer a combination of the two. That is to say, the realization of nuclear fusion is a landmark, and this time the invasion of adjacent dimensions will start. However, their large-scale attack will still have to wait until 18 years later."

"Because theoretically, the dimension where the quantum ghost is located is detached and omniscient, and it is impossible for it to ignore the key factor of nuclear fusion."

After a pause, Lin Ling continued:

"However, no matter what, we cannot admit that nuclear fusion caused the invasion of adjacent dimensions."

Ye Zhou nodded solemnly and replied:

"Yes. I thought you wouldn't think of it."

Lin Ling smiled and said:

"I am no longer the little white rabbit who only does experiments in the laboratory. As you said, I must observe everything from the perspective of the entire human race."

"Once the relationship between nuclear fusion and the invasion of adjacent dimensions is recognized, it is equivalent to acknowledging the relationship between technological development and being invaded. This is the result that anti-technology organizations such as the Pastoral Organization, Natural Cult, etc. dream of."

"At that time, the world will be in chaos."

Ye Zhou lowered the car window. The sunshine in the county was just right at this time. Pedestrians on the street were doing their things carefree. Some were bargaining in the fruit shop, some were weighing big spoons at the fried rice stall, and some were running in a hurry. Cross the road and run to the family waiting on the side

Everything was so tranquil and beautiful, but no one knew that the crisis that only appeared on TV news had already happened around them.
