I handed over to another world

Chen Lin's fingers gently stroked the porthole of the shuttle. The dark silver origin space station slowly rotated in the starlight. The sixteen groups of ring-shaped cabins were like crowns lost by gods. For Chen Lin at this moment, these things could no longer cause him to be amazed.

The reason is very simple. In the past ten years, Chen Lin has seen too many magnificent and spectacular buildings. He paid close attention to the construction of the Origin Star Space Station, but he did not think it was amazing at all.

Through the nano-glass image, Chen Lin saw the gravity well device in the core area of ​​the space station flashing with a faint blue light - it was a super building with a diameter of more than thirteen kilometers, which was now regularly swallowing and spitting out quantum bubbles in the vacuum - before coming here, he had a brief understanding of some detailed information about the gravity well. For this super-spectacular building created by the scientific research team of their Red Dragon Association, Chen Lin still admired the wisdom of these scientific researchers from the bottom of his heart.

After all, a super building with a scale of more than ten kilometers is enough to amaze people just by its construction.

"Vice President, docking port number three is ready."

The prompt sound of the shuttle AI made Chen Lin retract his gaze. He adjusted the collar of his specially made gray uniform. The metallic red dragon badge on his chest glowed coldly. No matter who came to the gravity well observation platform here, they needed to change into this set of clothes. Even Chen Lin, the vice president, was no exception.

When the hissing sound of the hatch's air pressure equalization sounded, he smelled the unique smell of the space station - it was a metallic scent of ionized air mixed with nano-lubricant. It didn't smell very good, but it inexplicably made Chen Lin feel a little refreshed.

"Vice President Chen!"

A familiar voice came from the end of the covered bridge, "Long time no see!"

The corners of Ding Yi's white coat fluttered in the artificial gravity field. The eyes of this always messy physicist were surprisingly bright at this moment. "You will never imagine what we found under the ice of an unknown planet!"

"We haven't seen each other for a while. Shouldn't we exchange some simple pleasantries when we meet?"

Chen Lin had just opened his mouth jokingly when he suddenly felt a violent vibration under his feet.

The alarm on the entire gravity well platform instantly tore through the silence, and the red warning lights on the ceiling of the corridor bridge spun wildly. Chen Lin grabbed the handrail and asked Ding Yi, who was stunned for a moment not far away, "Is this the special ceremony to welcome me?"

The personal guards and related staff behind him all wanted to rush over at this time, but Chen Lin waved his hands to indicate that nothing was wrong. After all, the person standing in front of him was Ding Yi, and this crazy scientist had not shown any panic signs, which meant that the matter was not serious.

When Chen Lin looked out, he saw some metal debris floating outside the window. It was the outer shell of the fuel tank that was supposed to be fixed in the No. 7 compartment. He was a little amused and said, "That thing should be the outer shell of the fuel tank, right?"

Ding Yi heard Chen Lin's voice at this time. He coughed lightly and said, "It's not a big problem, Vice President Chen."

"The problems on the gravity well platform should have been more systematic than other places. This is inevitable."

As soon as he finished speaking, a mechanical warning sounded over the radio: "The gravity well platform stability system is abnormal!"

"Artificial gravity fails in the area from B3 to C7!"

The warning was reported quickly with a shrill sound. Ding Yi's white coat suddenly fluttered upwards, and Chen Lin also felt his stomach begin to churn.

He held on tightly to the disintegrating handrail and saw three figures in maintenance suits not far away crashing into the transparent dome in weightlessness.

The tool kit of one of them exploded, and the wrench created sparks on the nano-glass. Seeing that a big problem was about to occur, Chen Lin almost opened a portal and took this group of people away from here. He heard Ding Yi yelling at him.

"Grab this!"

Ding Yi threw a string of silver bracelets from his pocket, and the silver rings drew a strange arc in the air. When Chen Lin reached out to catch it, he found that the maintenance worker who was floating due to weightlessness was hanging upside down on the dome with magnetic boots. This posture should not appear in a weightless environment - unless he was prepared.

When the emergency gravity field restarted, Chen Lin's back was covered in cold sweat.

He stared at the maintenance worker who skillfully put away his magnetic boots and disappeared around the corner of the passage, and he was still somewhat unresponsive.

"Is this what you call a 'systemic error'?"

He turned to Ding Yi, who was fixing his hair, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

This top physicist showed his signature wry smile and took out a half-melted energy supplement block from the pocket of his white coat: "Compared to the quantum tide we encountered last week, this is indeed a small problem... Do you want to go with me to see a real miracle?"

Of course Chen Lin was willing, but after he came down and adjusted his clothes, he asked Ding Yi: "Has the situation here always been so unstable?"

Ding Yi nodded. While directing the staff below to adjust the data through the communicator, he said to Chen Lin: "This platform is already the closest to the gravity well, and the danger is tens of thousands of times that of other platforms."

"You are the most courageous person among the senior members of the association to come here, but I also know that if it weren't for your special abilities, the association would never allow you to come here in person to see the situation on site."

Ding Yi heard the communicator saying that the situation had stabilized, and then he said to Chen Lin: "Come with me to see the core module in front?"

"is it safe?"

"It's safe. I think it's abnormal if this problem doesn't happen more than ten times a day. The overall structure of the gravity well is currently stable. These are just some minor problems on the peripheral platforms. It's fine for the core."

"Well."

Chen Lin and his group followed Ding Yi forward. The temperature around them had obviously dropped a lot. Only then did Chen Lin realize that the temperature in the core module of the gravity well was twenty degrees lower than that inside the station.

His breath formed white frost on the mask. If the group of people did not wear special platform work clothes, the temperature here would easily put people in a state of vacuum hypothermia.

The group passed through a thick, sealed archway. A seven-hundred-meter-high ring-shaped device occupied the entire field of vision. A silver torrent of nanorobots were repairing the outer armor.

When Ding Yi started the demonstration program, Chen Lin felt his retina burning - countless photons collapsed into miniature black holes in the vacuum cavity, and then evaporated into rainbow-like Hawking radiation within the Planck time.

It was a dream-like scene.

"This is the seventh generation quantum foam generator."

Ding Yi's voice came through the headset, "Ten trillion microscopic wormholes can be generated here every second. Last month, we found a special key under the ice sheet at 32 degrees north latitude on an unnamed planet."

The holographic projection suddenly unfolded, and Chen Lin saw the black square monument under the ice. It was an absolutely regular cube, and its surface was engraved with any geometric patterns that were not known to mankind.

As the camera zoomed in, he noticed that each scratch was flowing slowly, like sealed light.

"This is an anti-gravity device."

Ding Yi called up the analysis data, "Its quantum fluctuation pattern is exactly the same as the resonant frequency of the gravity well. We successfully reproduced this fluctuation three days ago..." The physicist suddenly coughed violently, and blue fluorescence seeped out from between his fingers.

"Professor Ding, you don't look very healthy."

Chen Lin saw the blue fluorescence in Ding Yi's hand and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's a trace of leakage from the nanomedical robot."

Ding Yi wiped the blue fluorescent light on his hand and said to Chen Lin: "The treatment plan given by the medical cabin is this. Before, I was exposed to strong radiation, which caused some organs in my body to become cancerous. Because it takes time to replace them, I directly let the medical cabin use this method to slowly treat them."

Just as Chen Lin was about to speak, the entire cabin was suddenly engulfed by a faint blue light. Then he noticed a vortex of light patterns emerging in the center of the gravity well. Some low-frequency vibrations beyond human comprehension penetrated the protective suit and reached the bone marrow.

Chen Lin saw his shadow split into countless shadows on the cabin wall, each shadow was doing different movements.

"What's this?!"

"Oh, something special..."

Ding Yi tapped quickly on the console, and an image of an ice field emerged in the center of the vortex, but Chen Lin noticed that the black square tablets were oozing slimy dark matter - this was completely different from what he saw in the archaeological briefing.

The alarm suddenly turned into a sharp beep, and a technician in protective clothing bumped into the console. Chen Lin saw his pupils dilate behind the mask and dark red blood gushed out of his cochlea, which was obviously a sign of having been hit hard.

"Quantum entanglement state overload!"

Amid the AI's warning, Ding Yi rushed to the isolation door of the core module.

"Are you crazy?"

Chen Lin grabbed the crazy physicist's wrist, and it felt like he was holding some kind of low-temperature superconductor. "It's equivalent to the event horizon of a black hole now. You will die if you open the door and go in!"

Ding Yi turned around and showed a crazy yet sober smile: "But I found that this thing can be controlled under certain circumstances... There are relevant records on the planet where it was discovered."

Chen Lin's palms tightened slightly. The body temperature of this physicist was too low to be like that of a human, but his eyes were terrifyingly hot.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Chen Lin's voice came through the mask of the protective suit, with a hint of metallic echo, "It is now the center of the vortex of quantum tides. Any matter that enters will be torn into elementary particles!"

Ding Yi's smile became even crazier, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip in the blue light: "But the ancients from those unknown planets did it! They transmitted information between galaxies, and the price was just..."

His words were cut off by the sound of the hatch closing. Chen Lin saw through the observation window this mad scientist dancing in the distorted space-time field, with strange geometric spots of light blooming on his white coat - Ding Yi's body was twisted and deformed in the quantum tides, but remained intact under the influence of some mysterious force.

"Vice president!"

The captain of the guard rushed over, "We must evacuate immediately!"

Chen Lin didn't move.

His eyes were fixed on the scene inside the core module, and he noticed that Ding Yi's white coat had turned into light particles and dissipated, revealing the silver-gray mechanical body underneath - those nanorobots were not medical equipment, but part of his body!

This guy is also telling lies to himself.

"I see……"

Chen Lin murmured to himself. He finally understood why Ding Yi could survive in strong radiation, why his body temperature was so low, and why his blood would ooze out blue fluorescence. It turned out that this physicist was no longer a pure human torso!
The quantum fluctuations in the core module suddenly reached a peak, and Ding Yi's mechanical body disintegrated in the light.

But at the last moment, Chen Lin saw him make a gesture towards the observation window - that was the highest level encryption signal of the Red Dragon Association.

The situation on the platform quickly stabilized as Ding Yi had said before, but the living being that Ding Yi had just seen had disappeared, as if all this was just a dream. Chen Lin was stunned for dozens of seconds before he reacted.

His fingers tapped quickly on the console, calling up the decoded data of Ding Yi's last-minute gestures - it was a string of coordinates pointing to a location under the ice of an unknown planet.

He turned to the captain of the guard and said, "Prepare a shuttle. I want to go to that planet myself."

"But Vice President, there..."

"This is an order!"

Chen Lin's voice left no doubt. He took a last look at the core module, where only twisted metal wreckage and flickering quantum bubbles remained.

As the shuttle left the space station, Chen Lin looked out the porthole at the gravity well device that was gradually moving away. The sixteen groups of ring-shaped modules were still slowly rotating in the starlight, but in his eyes it was no longer a crown left behind by the gods, but a huge warning sign.

The unknown planet gradually enlarged in the field of vision, and the black square monument on the ice field was looming.

When the shuttle landed on the ice field, Chen Lin noticed that the black square monuments were indeed oozing a mucus-like substance. He carefully approached the nearest square monument and found that the geometric patterns on the surface were slowly flowing, like the last words of some unknown civilization.

The translation ability that Chen Lin was proud of also disappeared at this moment. He stared at the black stone tablet in front of him and could not understand what these special geometric patterns meant at all.

"Did Ding Yi have any last words before he left?"

Chen Lin asked the secretary beside him, "Did he leave anything behind?"

"The people in the association are investigating this, and so far they haven't found anything else left by Professor Ding."

The secretary answered truthfully. Chen Lin squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The air on this planet is still not breathable for humans. The entire planet has a unique ecosystem. The things found here are more like the remains of an ancient civilization...

But Chen Lin’s mind was in a mess now. He didn’t know why Ding Yi chose such a strange operation to enter the core vortex, nor did he know what special legacy or last words Ding Yi left behind.

He just came here to check the situation, how could he have thought that something like this would happen? (End of this chapter)
