The Secret History of Mars

"You came to Mars this time to report on your work. How long did it take to fly to Mars?" Yuan Yizhou asked Jia Liang.

"It's about the same time, about half an hour to forty minutes." Jia Liang replied, "Any questions?"

"In other words, five thousand years have passed, and you are still flying at close to the speed of light and have not made any further breakthroughs in interstellar spacecraft technology, right?" Yuan Yizhou reasoned.

"You can say that." Although Jia Liang was not happy, he felt that Yuan Yizhou's deduction was impeccable. "It depends on the season in which Fireland travels, and the distance between the two planets. When the distance is close, the time will be shorter, and when the distance is far, the time will be longer."

"Is there a time when the shortest time is within 15 minutes?" Yuan Yizhou asked.

"Fifteen minutes, how is that possible!" Jia Liang looked at Yuan Yizhou in disbelief, "Fifteen minutes is not enough to go from the east end of City A to the west end. This is a shuttle between two planets."

"That's the problem. If you can only fly at close to the speed of light, it's impossible to truly travel through time and space. If you can't travel through time and space, where did the earth designer of dinosaur time and space, Long Yaotian, pop up in this video? of?!"

"Why can't we achieve near-light speed and free time travel?" Cui Xingmeng asked curiously.

"There are currently only three ways to theoretically verify the feasibility of time travel: First, flying at super-light speed, running faster than time, but they are only flying at close to the speed of light now, not even the speed of light! Even if they fly at the speed of light, Fire Land The longest distance between them is the speed of light, which is about fourteen minutes. Jia Liang has already said that this is impossible."

"The second method is space distortion. This method requires powerful energy to create and control black holes. If the Martians really mastered such technology, why would they still be struggling with the earth in the solar system and start interstellar expansion long ago? .”

"So, the most likely method is the last one," Yuan Yizhou said seriously, "which is to find the crack in time and fly across the crack at nearly the speed of light."

"A crack in time?" Cui Xingmeng suddenly remembered something, "Is it the cavity that Bao Xi mentioned?"

"It is very likely that relatively large time cracks, like wormholes, can allow larger masses to pass through as long as they have enough energy. It seems that the Martians only use small cracks that require less energy and can only allow destruction. If an aircraft like the Meng Gallery passes through it, maybe this is what they call a cavity!"

"I remembered, Elder Bao Xi's original words were: 'These costs are just for allowing a small mass like the Mie Meng Gallery to travel through an extremely unstable cavity at nearly the speed of light.'" Cui Xingmeng suddenly realized, "So that's what he meant!"

"Extremely unstable. Elder Bao Xi said that the cavity is extremely unstable?" Yuan Yizhou asked sensitively, "Under what circumstances did he say that?"

"I went to Mount Olympus yesterday. When I picked you up at the shuttle station, Elder Bao Xi said that there was still a little time before you were scheduled to arrive at the shuttle station, so he took me to the shield ring on the top of Mount Olympus for a stroll. For a while. When the time was almost up, he said, 'Let's go down to the bottom of the volcano from here. The hole in the Miemeng Gallery will be at the shuttle station soon.'" Cui Xingmeng tried his best to recall the details, "Then I asked him He did not answer me directly about what a wormhole was. Instead, he asked me what I thought of four-dimensional civilization and time travel. He said that Martians made many crazy decisions and that civilization paid an extremely heavy price to achieve this result. "

"The time for the cavity in the Miemeng Gallery will soon reach the shuttle station..." Yuan Yizhou repeated, "This means that the cavity in the Miemeng Gallery appeared together with the cavity. When the time comes, is there only a specific time? , can cavities appear?”

"Jia Liang, you mentioned to me before that the civilization of your home planet is not limited by time coordinates and can be used for time travel. Please explain it in detail." Yuan Yizhou suddenly remembered the night before his appointment at Miemeng Gallery with Jia Liang. Liang's conversation in the restaurant.

"Every time we want to go somewhere in the past, future, or parallel time and space, we will apply with Chief Designer Ye, and after being approved, we will receive a key with time coordinates and location," Jia Liang He didn't understand what Yuan Yizhou was deducing, so he could only explain it according to his own understanding, "It's very similar to the key to Miemeng Gallery that Lin Die gave you last time on the TV station."

"The method of using the key is similar to when you go to the Miemeng Gallery. When you arrive at the designated time and place, a light beam will scan the time coordinates, and then you can enter the time and space you want." Jia Liang said in conclusion, " I think that key should be able to open the entrance to parallel time and space."

"No, Ye Qinghe said that you did not open the key to parallel time and space, you just found a way to detect its entrance." Yuan Yizhou denied Jia Liang's statement, "The question now is, how did you detect it."

"There is still one last chapter left in this message. Should we read it before continuing the discussion?" Jia Liang asked, checking the playback progress of the message reading station.

Yuan Yizhou nodded in agreement.

"The countdown to Mars is 4,500 years, the Earth experiment is 635 years in the Stone Age, and the actual records of the Mars Council of Elders are true."

"Elders, the soil has been exhausted by the research on super-light aircraft! It has been theoretically verified repeatedly that nuclear energy cannot drive a super-light aircraft. Not to mention aircraft, even this cup cannot drive to the speed of light. ." The speaker was Elder Ji Xuan, "I suggest that research on super-light aircraft be suspended until new energy technology is obtained!"

"I object!" Upon hearing this roar, Cui Xingmeng knew that Elder Banquan would definitely not give up. "In just over 600 years, we have developed a particle engine that can fly at near-light speed! We have also found a way to detect worms. The hole method allows passive time travel! We have restarted species experiments on multiple parallel earths. As long as we persist, we will definitely be able to achieve free time travel!"

"The things you just mentioned were all based on the nuclear energy breakthrough brought by Xixi, approved by the third set of escape strategies, and achieved within more than 200 years," Elder Ji Xuan hit the nail on the head, "In the past three hundred years, these This strategy has not made any substantial progress, it is just consuming energy. If we continue, we may not even have enough soil to detect cavities! If even the existing passive shuttle cannot be carried out, then With multiple species experiments on parallel Earths, Martian civilization no longer even has the chance to visit.”

After speaking, Elder Ji ?”
