I know this ancient god

After small space debris became two-dimensional, huge planets also ushered in two-dimensionalization.

These two-dimensional planets are divided into several ring areas. The outermost ring looks very bright, like eyelashes and eye shadow; the middle ring is gray and white in color and looks more stable. This is the tens of thousands of kilometers thick of the planets. Slow; the dark area in the center is the planet's core, which is composed of rock and ice and has a mass equivalent to a crape myrtle star.

There are countless smaller ring areas in each large ring area, forming a fine structure. When you look closely, they become like the growth rings of trees, the kind of brand-new growth rings exposed in a big tree that has just been sawed off.

There are a dozen small circles near each two-dimensional planet, which are their two-dimensional satellites.

There is also a strip of light not far below them.

That light band is made up of countless individual small spots of light, stretching across the entire sky, like a pearl necklace in the crape myrtle galaxy.

That's a two-dimensional asteroid belt.

When the stars of Ziwei Star begin to become two-dimensional, the details cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye. Only distant stars suddenly increase in brightness and volume. The latter is caused by the expansion of the two-dimensional part of the star on the plane, which looks like the star itself is expanding from a distance.

The moment the star touches the two-dimensional plane, the part that fell into the two-dimensional plane quickly expands in a circle on the plane. Soon, the diameter of the two-dimensional star on the plane exceeds that of the three-dimensional star. This process only takes thirty years. Seconds or so, based on the Ziwei Star's star radius of 700,000 kilometers, the expansion speed of the edge of the two-dimensional star reaches more than 20,000 kilometers per second.

The two-dimensional star continued to expand, and soon formed a vast sea of ​​​​fire on the plane. The three-dimensional star slowly sank in the center of this bloody sea of ​​​​fire.

Scenes of melting stars are often depicted in art.

Now, the star is literally melting, spreading its blood across a two-dimensional plane, and this is the final sunset.

While the stars in the three-dimensional world are setting, the stars in the two-dimensional plane are rising. The two-dimensional star radiates its light energy in a two-dimensional plane, and sunlight appears for the first time in the two-dimensional Lagerstroemia galaxy.

The side of several two-dimensional planets facing the star is illuminated as a golden arc, but the part of them that can be illuminated is only the one-dimensional edge. The cosmic dust surrounding the two-dimensional planet is blown into the two-dimensional space by the two-dimensional solar wind, and part of it is soaked in golden sunlight, like the long flowing hair of the two-dimensional planet.

This is a rare beauty in the universe, which was faithfully recorded by human observation instruments in other galaxies and uploaded to the Federal Academy of Sciences for analysis.

The federation responded quickly.

"The Ziwei Galaxy is falling from three dimensions to two dimensions."

A gentle young scientist held the file and stood in front of the leader to report the analysis conclusion.

The leader crossed his fingers in front of him, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a few seconds, asked: "Is there any other possibility besides two-dimensionalization? If it is two-dimensional, what is the cause of the two-dimensionalization of the Ziwei Galaxy? "

The leader's heart was heavy.

"With our current understanding of science, the phenomenon that occurs in the Ziwei Galaxy can only be two-dimensional. The reason is still unclear. After all, we only have the most preliminary observation data." The young scientist knew what the leader wanted to ask, and he He shook his head and said, "To know the specific cause and determine whether it is a natural phenomenon or an external attack, further observation is required."

Two-dimensionalization is an advanced space application technology that crushes space bombs at a technical level. An enemy that can use two-dimensionalization as a weapon is definitely not an enemy that the Federation can deal with.

Therefore, if this two-dimensionalization is an external attack, it will have a significant impact on the strategic charter of the entire federation.

The Federation may directly switch from strategic attack to strategic defense or even strategic evacuation, turning the entire civilization into a wandering civilization living on spaceships to avoid threats.

The leader asked calmly: "How much funding do you need?"

"This is not a question of funding."

The young scientist hesitated to speak.

"I just want results. Let's make a number and don't miss the opportunity. In the next few years, the resources in the hands of the Federation will become more and more precious." The leader added meaningfully, "When the time comes, you will It will be difficult for the Institute of Space Technology to get money again.”

The young scientist smiled wryly.

He could hear what the leader meant. The leader wanted to open a small stove for their Space Technology Research Institute.

Times have changed.

In recent years, many research institutions under the direct jurisdiction of the Academy of Sciences have felt that funding has become increasingly difficult to obtain. Otherwise, they have all been robbed by the Lin Group.

The Lin Group's technology has its own system, especially the technology that specializes in the field of ancient gods, as if it has been prepared for a long time.

They opened their mouths to the federal lions for many reasons such as developing new materials, developing new software, deciphering new data, recruiting new researchers, etc. If the federation did not give them money, they would not share the new things they developed with the federation.

Only the Lin Group can study those things. They began to study things about ancient gods hundreds of years ago.

The scientific research institutions cultivated by the Federation are more than a generation behind the Lin Group in this regard.

At the critical moment when the ancient gods were about to revive on a large scale, the Federation could not disband and annex the Lin Group, because that would inevitably lead to a strong backlash from the Lin Group, destroying technical data, experimental equipment, and experimental results.

Therefore, the Federation could only allow the Lin Group to grow wildly.

The Lin Group even poached people directly from the Academy of Sciences.

However, the Lin Group has been sharing their new technologies as promised, and has provided products including but not limited to the Ancient God Edition Life Detector, the Ancient God Language Dictionary (the one Tang Xuan had proofread before), the Black Dragon Armor, and the Sub-God Weapon. There are many technologies or physical objects linked to the ancient gods, so the federal leaders can barely endure it.

In the past few years, the Academy of Sciences' funding problem has actually been tolerable, but it can be predicted that in the next few years, the Academy of Sciences' funding problem will inevitably intensify, and it is not even ruled out that some unpopular research institutes will be stretched thin.

Because the artificial god creation project led by the Lin Group is about to be launched, tens of thousands of sub-god belief memories will be produced by then, and the funds consumed will be astronomical.

The Federation will further increase its share of imports of rare minerals from the Maurya Empire. It is expected that the import volume will increase dozens of times next year, which is another dizzying sum of money.

This money has to be spent, the former is for force protection, and the latter is for resource replenishment.

Speaking of resources, the Frostbrand Empire has closed the export channels for rare resources, and only the Peacock Empire is still willing to sell them.

As long as you give them money, the Maurya Empire will sell anything.

The Federation wanted to plunder all the assets of the Maurya Empire, but the Frostbrand Empire was also robbing each other. The two sides raised the price until they reached a private agreement to determine one side's half.

This money must be spent.

Federal resources are limited. If they are lavish in one place, they will be constrained in another.

Funds for major federal agencies will be cut.

The young scientist hesitated for a few seconds and then asked: "One hundred billion? We are going to build a new super large particle collider, the kind that orbits the planet."

"good."

The leader's answer was very straightforward.

The young scientist's expression fell.
