Chapter 1576 Walking in Pixels

With the experience of exploring the first space, subsequent explorations became much easier for humans. The Lyra spacecraft no longer had to be as cautious as it was the first time, fearing that it might jump to the wrong place.

To avoid repetitive exploration, humans even created a map of pixel space, marking the areas that have been explored.

Similarly, because of the first successful space exploration, scientists of human civilization have become increasingly interested in this space. They believe that even if they cannot find any trace of the so-called Dayuan civilization, they can still learn a lot from it.

Especially in terms of modifying physical rules, such as the first space we encountered, where the rules governing the fluctuations of matter could be deleted, this provides great inspiration for humanity.

Human scientists believe that human civilization can imitate and learn from this, master the physical laws that modify the rules of matter fluctuation, and implement them by plucking strings. In that case, the attacks of the Dream Lyra would become more diverse.

This is the significance of learning.

Some scientists, starting from the fact that the wave rules of matter waves have been deleted, speculate that this rule environment is aimed at an enemy, and they think it would be good for dealing with a cosmic civilization that has mastered special technology in matter waves.

Perhaps this environment was designed to limit matter wave technology.

The exploration continues.

The second pixel space that the Lyra spacecraft entered was a two-dimensional plane space with a span of approximately eleven light-years.

For the Lyra Dream, two-dimensional space cannot harm it at all; it can even jump and walk in two-dimensional space. In fact, the Lyra Dream explores two-dimensional space in this way.

This two-dimensional space is also a closed space. What's amazing is that there is a two-dimensional black hole inside this two-dimensional space.

That's all.

Human civilization continues to explore, record, analyze, and search for the reasons behind these changes, identifying which rules in the pixel space have been modified or which rules have been missing.

After that, they returned to the greater universe and shared the exploration information with the other three civilizations.

This two-dimensional black hole in two-dimensional space is worth exploring. The Lyra spacecraft conducted many experiments on the event horizon of the two-dimensional black hole, mainly to explore the differences between black holes in two-dimensional space and those in three-dimensional space.

For example, will their gravitational strengths differ, will their event horizons differ, and will their gravitational behavior differ? Furthermore, this is the first time that human civilization has seriously explored the characteristics of two-dimensional space. Although we have encountered many two-dimensional spaces before and have even been attacked by them, and the Lyra spacecraft possesses dimensional reduction attack technology, this is the first time we have conducted a detailed analysis of the various physical properties of two-dimensional space.

Reducing space to two dimensions is like inventing an atomic or hydrogen bomb and then using it on ordinary people—it's a destructive use. But current research is like working on controlled nuclear fusion; the nature of the two is different.

So of course it is meaningful. Its significance lies in the fact that if humanity can understand the various physical properties, parameters, and physical relationship formulas in this two-dimensional space, perhaps in the future, humanity's dimensional reduction attack will not just end by reducing three-dimensional space to two dimensions, but after dimensional reduction, it can also modify the physical properties in the two-dimensional space, so that it can launch a second, or even a third or fourth attack on the existence that has not yet been destroyed by the dimensional reduction attack.

The Lyra can also jump into a two-dimensional space on its own, where it can use its advantages to stir up trouble and even launch a quantum exile attack.

Ever since Yue Yuan took the leadership position, human civilization has always been like this: whenever it encounters something new or masters a new technology, it immediately wants to use it for military purposes.

This exploration of two-dimensional space is no exception.

Humanity was generous in sharing this exploration data with the Galactic Heart, the Awakeners, and the Daya civilization after the Lyra returned to the wider universe, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of exploring the pixel space. Of course, the various modification rules and operations derived from humanity's own string-plucking techniques were not included in this sharing.

Nevertheless, the Silverheart, Daya, and Awakener civilizations were quite satisfied.

They were already curious about the pixel space and regretted their decision to leave, but unfortunately they couldn't get in. Now that humans are so generous, what is there to complain about?

They just "wait on the shore," waiting for their good teammates, humans, to "dive into the water" and throw all sorts of rare treasures onto the shore, like panning for gold.

Now, the Milky Way, Daya, and the Awakening Civilization are increasingly eager for humanity to continue its exploration.

The first space is a space lacking the wave rules of matter waves, and the second space is a two-dimensional space. If these two spaces are different, then what about the third, fourth, fifth, and even the densely packed other pixel spaces? Could they all be like this, with each space having different rules?
That would be wonderful.

Although we've been at the level of a cosmic civilization for quite some time now, we still lack the means to modify the laws of physics. This is due to limitations in our imagination and the inability to "cross the river by feeling for stones." But now, if these pixel spaces are all spaces with different rules, wouldn't they be equivalent to samples for modifying the laws of physics? Wouldn't they be like stones that we can feel our way across the river?
Previously, you had to figure out by yourself whether modifying the physical rules in a certain way was feasible. Now, pixel space directly tells you whether this is feasible or not.

This is simply a treasure trove.

Having tasted success, the Silverheart, Daya, and Awakener civilizations now dream of the Dream Lyra emerging from the third pixel space day and night. They are now like children eagerly awaiting the return of their childhood friends who went to buy game cartridges, craning their necks and waiting for the Dream Lyra to reappear.

Human civilization itself has high expectations for this, because the rules are different in the third pixel space we enter.

In subsequent explorations, humans also discovered that not every pixel space has different rules; there are also spaces that are the same as before.

Nevertheless, the four civilizations still possessed a strong desire for exploration.

In this situation, when the Lyra entered the pixel space for the eleventh time, it found that the rules of this space were exactly the opposite of the first one. The particle rules of matter here seemed to have been deleted, leaving only the wave rules.

Matter here exists entirely in the form of waves.

This discovery has delighted humanity, because it means that everyone's guess was correct: this large collection of pixel space is most likely composed of a group of spaces with different rules. For the four civilizations, this is a perfect sample for rule modification, an ideal place to "copy the rules of physics and modify their homework".

Humans went in to copy the homework, and then took out the copied homework for the other three civilizations to copy.

In this context, the pixelated space is a treasure trove in the eyes of the four civilizations, serving as a catalyst to accelerate their transformation into established cosmic-level civilizations.

And so, in the time that followed, humanity continued to travel through pixel space on the Lyra, moving in and out between the universe and pixel space, like a happy child frantically copying the homework left behind by an unknown civilization.

It's also like a knowledge transporter and a treasure hunter.

However, human civilization has not yet realized that in its repeated explorations, it has not only obtained various samples of physical rule modifications, but also gradually discovered the secrets of this pixel space as the exploration deepens.
