The heavens begin from the underworld

After arriving in the Three-Body World, perhaps because of the "half-smuggling", Lin Yang's perception of time in this world was also affected.

He didn't know how long he had been flying in the cold and desolate starry sky. Anyway, it was indeed quite a while after leaving the Kuiper Belt.

Finally, he really entered the Oort Cloud.

Based on some descriptions in the original book "Three-Body", Lin Yang could roughly infer where the four-dimensional space fragments were located.

This made the difficulty of this trip slightly reduced.

Now it's just the difficulty of finding a needle in a haystack.

This is not an exaggeration, but the four-dimensional space fragments are indeed the ratio of a needle to the sea compared to the area inferred by Lin Yang.

After entering the Oort Cloud, Lin Yang deliberately used a soul thought to time.

This soul thought does not need to do anything else, just count down, so as to calculate Lin Yang's body time.

In this way, Lin Yang will not be completely confused about the grasp of time in this dead and silent deep space without sky and earth.

Seven days later in the sense of time, about half a year later on Earth.

Lin Yang separated one-third of his soul, and the incarnation composed of this part of his soul and his true body parted ways and rushed to another direction.

That is where the Three-Body Galaxy is located.

The preciousness of the Trisolaran microscopic nine-dimensional technology is self-evident. Not to mention the development of technology in the underworld, it can also help Lin Yang's practice and evolution.

Like technology, practice and evolution are also a large category, involving almost infinite knowledge.

Perceiving laws, rules, order...

It is not an eternal theme on the road of evolution, but just a certain stage.

At least in the Holy Ruins World.

Whether it is the "door" in the body mentioned in the secret realm method, or the "immortal treasure" of the pollen evolution path, they all involve the microscopic.

A truly advanced system will never stop at the accumulation of energy at the macroscopic level, otherwise it will not go far.

The so-called comprehension of laws is one of the paths from the macroscopic field to the microscopic field.

As for whether this ‘road’ is smooth, how far it can go, whether it is a rugged path or a road to heaven…

It also varies from person to person.

In the Three-Body World, the way it is manifested is that different civilizations have different ways of exploring the microscopic field.

At this stage, the earthlings rely on particle colliders, and the Three-Body civilization or higher civilizations also have more efficient methods.

In the same period of time, due to the difference in technological levels, the speed of exploration of the microscopic field by advanced civilizations may be hundreds of millions of times that of low-level civilizations, or even more exaggerated.

It’s like…

At present, the earthlings and the Three-Body people cannot solve the Three-Body problem that troubles the Three-Body civilization, and cannot accurately know when the Three-Body planet is habitable and when the environment will be extremely unsuitable for survival.

But in the eyes of a certain advanced civilization cleaner who carried out a ‘light particle’ attack on the Three-Body civilization, from noticing the existence of intelligent life on the Three-Body planet to launching the attack, everything was completed in a very short time.

Just when the Trisolarian was captured by one of the three stars, the ‘light particles’ that had calculated this point long ago also destroyed the star that captured the Trisolarian. The explosion of the star caused the Trisolarian captured by its gravity to perish, and everything was exactly the same.

If the ‘light particles’ had hit the other two stars, the Trisolarian would not necessarily have been completely destroyed.

“It’s okay to consume some more energy.”

Lin Yang felt his own situation, and he decisively accelerated the soul incarnation heading to the Trisolarian system at the cost of some biological energy.

Being able to reach the Trisolarian one step earlier means that the soul incarnation can also plunder the wisdom of the Trisolarian civilization one step earlier.

Perhaps nuclear energy is indeed a big stage in the development of science and technology.

Lin Yang remembered that when the Trisolarians destroyed the Magic Eye civilization, they used a large number of nuclear weapons.

From this point of view, the Earthlings and the Trisolarians seem to be at the same level, both using nuclear weapons, but there are also huge differences in other aspects of the two civilizations. I don’t know which civilization is too biased, so that its own civilization uses nuclear weapons because of backwardness or advancement.

If the Trisolarans only had nuclear weapons as their means of attack at this stage, Lin Yang's soul incarnation would be enough to easily control the Trisolarans, even if the Trisolarans continued to pile up the "quantity" of nuclear weapons and made a super nuclear bomb.

As I said before, when the power is not concentrated enough and the attack is not deep enough...

Simply "great force" is not very meaningful.

There is no essential difference between 10,000 kilograms of brute force and 10 billion kilograms of brute force, but the scope of destruction is larger. Both cannot completely crush the particles at the microscopic level, but only change the shape of the object at the macroscopic level.

For example, a mountain range is broken into rubble, which is a change in the shape of the object.

"Unfortunately, it's just a fantasy after all."

"The first priority of the Trisolaran civilization is the survival of the race, so the "large-scale" weapons stop at the nuclear weapons stage, but the strength of the "small-scale" weapons is not low. This is a by-product of their exploration of the microscopic field."

Lin Yang thought of the "water drop" made of strong interaction materials.

It was obviously just a probe of the Trisolarans, and the name "Water Drop" was given by humans because its shape resembled a water drop.

But hundreds of years later, the record of the "Water Drop" probe was...

It destroyed more than 2,000 star-class warships that humans spent a lot of resources to build.

It didn't take any effort, just rushed over, penetrated the warship, and then rushed to the next one.

Two thousand star-class battleships that were full of hope for mankind and that made mankind arrogantly believe that the Trisolarans were not to be feared became a bunch of fireworks in the universe.

This is only true for the detector's 'water droplets', let alone the weapons and fleet of the Trisolarans.

Lin Yang was quite wary of the trip to the Trisolaran Galaxy where the soul was incarnated.

It would be ridiculous if the boat capsized in the gutter.

But putting aside the psychological expansion caused by the small underworld, given the gap between him and the Trisolarans, even if he failed, it seemed that it was far from capsizing in the gutter.

The existence of microscopic nine-dimensional technology illustrates...

The Trisolaran civilization did surpass Lin Yang in some aspects. After all, it was the result of a civilization, countless lives, and countless years.

"After arriving at Trisolaris, in addition to the technological crystallization of Trisolarans, we can also study the life forms of Trisolarans."

Lin Yang thought while searching for the fragments of the four-dimensional space.

The word "human" on the Trisolaran people does not refer to humanoid creatures, but to intelligent creatures.

The Trisolaran world is different from the Holy Ruins world. There is no such thing as the majority of intelligent creatures taking human form. Instead, it is a true blooming of a hundred flowers, with various species and wisdom dazzling.

The form of the Trisolaran is unknown. It can withstand extremely high temperatures, actively drain water from the body, turn the body into a dry skin, sleep, and be 'resurrected' after being soaked in water.

In a fantasy worldview, the above characteristics combined together, most of the time they are a group of ignorant beasts with only some special abilities, a rare species that is hunted.

In addition to these, there is no 'language' between Trisolarans because they do not communicate with words like humans, but with brain waves similar to telepathy.

In addition, Trisolarans have evolved to abandon their cowardice and become calm and rational under extreme circumstances, and can pass on part of their memories and consciousness to the next generation.

In a sense, this is a bit like eternal life, because memory and consciousness are more important than the physical body, and it is also a bit like the saying in some fairy worlds——

After reincarnation, three souls disappear into one.

After three reincarnations, he is already a brand new creature, no longer entangled with the three previous lives.

But the specific situation of the Trisolarans is different from the "three souls disappearing into one". In theory, as long as the bloodline continues, future generations of Trisolarans will have the memory and consciousness of the source of their bloodline.

If tens of thousands of Trisolarans all have the same ancestor, they will have more or less similar memories and consciousnesses, but the proportion of memories and consciousnesses in each generation will be very low.

A descendant of a Trisolaris scientist is almost a born scientist and can devote himself to work, while humans...

A life span lasts only a hundred years, and the first few decades are spent studying or entangled in various trivial matters. The total time that one can truly contribute to science is only twenty or thirty years.

Not everyone can still maintain a clear mind after getting old.

A few days later, Lin Yang still gained nothing. He had tried his best to scan all the fluctuations around him with his spiritual mind, but he still didn't notice the fragments in the four-dimensional space.

The chat group prompt also appeared, telling Lin Yang that it was time to leave.

Lin Yang looked at his points and decisively chose to fill up his stay.

Compared with the fragments of the four-dimensional space and the technological crystallization of the Trisolaran civilization, these points are nothing. Anyway, after returning to the Holy Ruins world, you can get one point every day you sign in.

Counting from the first day of stay, time was passing quickly. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yang's somatosensory time passed twenty-six days, and six hundred and fifty days later in Earth time...

The earth has entered the year 2001 from 1999 at the end of the twentieth century.

The reason why Lin Yang found no traces of sophons on the earth is because it was in this year that the Trisolaran civilization launched sophons No. 1 and No. 2 to the earth.

A few years before Lin Yang came to the Trisolaran world, the Trisolaran people, who had just completed the sophon project, were conducting experiments on forming a quantum induction array with multiple sophons.

Only by achieving this can the Trisolarans remotely control sophons to block the basic physics of the earth in the starry sky three or four light years away.

Sophons do not have self-wisdom.

This day.

Lin Yang, who was in the Oort Cloud, felt a slight emotion in his heart.

At the cost of consuming biological energy, Lin Yang's speed gradually decreased from 40% of the speed of light to 1% of the speed of light. At the same time, he was changing direction and heading towards a certain starry sky.

The decrease in speed caused Lin Yang's own mass to decrease, and the distortion of time and space caused by his gravity was weakened. In other words, the somatosensory time was closer to the earth's time.

The thirty-fifth day after the delay.

Lin Yang's speed slowed down again, from 1% of the speed of light to almost stopping.

Of course, this 'almost' is compared to 1% of the speed of light, which is actually a speed of several seconds.

"Here?"

Lin Yang, whose external shape resembles a 'black hole', is suspended in a deep sky with no sky or ground.

At this distance, the sun becomes a small white dot and everything is close to darkness.

Although there are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, they cannot illuminate this place even at a long distance.

Not long ago, after Lin Yang's spiritual fluctuations swept across this place, there was a sudden missing part.

He didn't notice it at first, because the missing part of the spiritual mind didn't completely disappear, but he couldn't sense it.

It wasn't until the scanning range of his spiritual mind was reduced that Lin Yang realized something was wrong, and he scanned here repeatedly before locking in the abnormal area.

Thinking of the description of the four-dimensional space fragments in the plot of "The Three-Body Problem", Lin Yang thought to himself: "That part of my mind entered the four-dimensional space because it touched the four-dimensional fragments?"

He estimated that his guess was correct, so his mood fluctuated a little, which meant that he had finally found the Oort cloud's 'treasure'.

After adjusting his emotions, Lin Yang finally determined that it was safe after more than ten minutes of testing.

It's okay for an earthling from the Trisolaran world to enter the four-dimensional space fragments. It doesn't mean that he can enter recklessly. After all, he is a "semi-smuggled" evolver. The part that belongs to the evolver has not been transformed by the chat group and does not fully fit this. world.

Maybe something will happen after coming into contact with the four-dimensional fragments.

Now that he knew it was safe, Lin Yang moved forward little by little, rushing towards the empty area ahead with complicated emotions.

The next moment, after he crossed a certain limit...

Lin Yang suddenly disappeared into the starry sky.

…

Within the four-dimensional space fragments.

"Is this the real four-dimensional space?"

Lin Yang had not been shocked for a long time, but the shock in his heart was about to materialize.

Only when we really come here can we realize how shallow human beings' previous descriptions of the fourth dimension are, and how incapable of describing even one billionth of its mystery.

Lin Yang found part of his lost spiritual consciousness here. When he looked at everything in the three-dimensional universe, the massive amount of information that surged countless times made Lin Yang extremely uncomfortable.

His powers of observation were originally very different from those of normal humans. Now that he came to the four-dimensional space, he could see more than ordinary people and receive a greater amount of information.

The area outside the four-dimensional fragments is a vacuum in the eyes of ordinary people, and there is no other matter. In fact, countless special particles pass through here every second, but they rarely affect the macroscopic world.

Before entering the four-dimensional space, Lin Yang could sense the existence of these special particles, but it was of no value for research. After all, he could not see deeper.

This time it's different.

As mentioned before, inside every particle, he saw a grand world, and some even contained traces of intelligent life.

Thinking about the various differences in this world, Lin Yangruo murmured with enlightenment:

"The world can be seen in a grain of sand, and the kingdom of heaven can be seen in a flower. Infinity is contained in the palm of your hand, and an instant is eternity."

"From macro to micro, from matter to space and time..."

"Is this the true meaning of physics?"

Lin Yang was lost in thought.

The original meaning of this passage may not be that, but it does fit well with Lin Yang's experience during this period.

He saw the 'realm in the sand' and also saw the 'eternal calamity in an instant'.
