I handed over to another world

Chapter 718 Signals from an Unknown Civilization

Chen Lin stood in the corridor of the research center, watching the researchers enter their respective laboratories one after another.

His thoughts still lingered on Ding Yi, the scientist who once fought alongside him but now existed in the universe in a completely new form.

Ding Yi's choice shocked Chen Lin and made him realize that the future of mankind might not be limited to the material world - at least Ian of Kinorian had provided them with a new direction before, and now Ding Yi's new move also provided strong evidence for this direction.

"Vice President Chen,"

Secretary Zhao's voice came from behind again, interrupting Chen Lin's thoughts, "Professor Ding Yi has responded."

Chen Lin turned around quickly, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes: "What did he say?"

Secretary Zhao handed over a holographic screen, which displayed a complex quantum code.

Chen Lin frowned. Although he had some understanding of quantum technology, the data before him was obviously beyond his understanding.

"This is a message from Professor Ding Yi," Secretary Zhao explained. "He said that he has established a preliminary connection with our quantum communication system, but due to his current special state, he cannot have a normal conversation with us directly... He suggested that we use quantum computers to analyze this data and communicate with him further."

Chen Lin nodded, feeling slightly relieved. At least Ding Yi had not completely disappeared, and he was still connected to humans to some extent.

"Notify Vice President Wang and the research team to immediately start the quantum computer to analyze this data."

Chen Lin decisively ordered, "We need to establish a more stable communication channel with Ding Yi as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Secretary Zhao quickly wrote down the order and turned to leave.

Chen Lin stood where he was and took a deep breath.

He knew that the next task would be extremely complicated and might even be beyond their current technical capabilities, but in any case they had to find a way to communicate with Ding Yi as soon as possible, because Ding Yi might be the key to their fight against advanced civilizations.

……

A few hours later, the research team's quantum computer finally completed the preliminary analysis of the quantum code sent by Ding Yi.

Chen Lin and Vice President Wang stood in front of the computer, watching the information gradually appear on the screen.

"Professor Ding Yi's condition is more complicated than we thought,"

Dr. Li, the team's chief scientist, explained, "His current form of existence has completely surpassed the traditional material form. It can even be said that he has become part of the quantum world."

"At present, we can only communicate with him to a limited extent through quantum entanglement effects, and this communication is very unstable."

"Did he mention any information about advanced civilizations?"

Chen Lin asked anxiously.

Dr. Li nodded. "Yes, Professor Ding Yi mentioned that the monitoring system of advanced civilizations is far more sophisticated than we imagined. Not only can they monitor our technological development, they can even predict our future behavior in some way."

"Professor Ding Yi believes that if we want to avoid their monitoring, the only way is to completely change our scientific and technological development model, and we may even need to abandon some existing technological routes."

“Abandon the existing technology route?”

Vice President Wang frowned, "This is not an easy task."

"Our entire social system is built on existing technology, and if it changes suddenly, it could cause huge chaos."

“Professor Ding Yi also took this into consideration,” Dr. Li continued. “He suggested that we transition gradually rather than abandon all technologies at once.”

"If we design it according to the 'quantum stealth technology' he proposed, we can use this technology to disguise our technological activities as natural phenomena, thereby avoiding the monitoring of advanced civilizations."

"Quantum stealth technology?"

Chen Lin repeated thoughtfully, "It sounds similar to our 'hidden plan'."

"That's right," Dr. Li nodded. "Professor Ding Yi has provided us with some preliminary technical solutions, but the implementation of these solutions requires a lot of resources and time."

"He estimated that if we go all out, it might take at least a decade to achieve this goal."

"ten years……"

Chen Lin whispered to himself, "That is to say, we only have ten years to prepare, and the remaining ten years are the critical period for fighting against advanced civilizations."

Vice President Wang sighed: "Time is more urgent than we thought."

Chen Lin was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a firm look: "No matter what, we must go all out."

"Dr. Li, your research team's mission is to crack the technical solution provided by Professor Ding Yi as quickly as possible and transform it into practical technology. I will apply for more resources from the association to ensure that your research is not restricted in any way."

Dr. Li nodded solemnly: "Understood, we will do our best."

……

In the next few days, the research team entered a high-intensity working state.

Although the quantum stealth technology solution provided by Ding Yi is complicated, the potential it contains makes everyone excited.

As their research progressed, they gradually realized that this technology could not only help them avoid the detection of advanced civilizations, but could even completely change human understanding of the universe.

However, just when the research team made initial progress, an unexpected news broke the peace.

"Vice President Chen, the Origin Space Station has just received an abnormal signal," Secretary Zhao hurried into Chen Lin's office with a hint of nervousness on his face. "The source of the signal is unknown, but after preliminary analysis, it seems to be related to the monitoring system of an advanced civilization."

Chen Lin's heart sank suddenly: "What is the content of the signal?"

"It's not clear yet," Secretary Zhao shook his head, "but the signal strength is very high, and it seems to be approaching our direction."

Chen Lin stood up quickly: "Notify President Zhang and Vice President Wang immediately and hold an emergency meeting!"

"Also, ask the research team to suspend all work and focus on analyzing this signal."

"Yes!"

Secretary Zhao quickly left to inform everyone, and soon the top leaders of the Red Dragon Association gathered again in the conference room. At this time, President Zhang and Vice President Wang looked extremely solemn, and they had obviously known about the abnormal signal.

"Vice President Chen, what's the situation?"

President Zhang asked directly.

Chen Lin took a deep breath and began to report: "The Origin Space Station received an abnormal signal. Preliminary judgment is that it is related to the monitoring system of an advanced civilization. Based on the signal strength, it is likely that it is an advanced civilization that we have not yet discovered, and it is approaching us."

"The research team is working hard to analyze the content of the signal, but there are no clear results yet."

President Zhang frowned: "Have you identified the source of the signal?"

"It's hard to be sure for now," Chen Lin shook his head, "but based on the characteristics of the signal, it is very likely to come from a monitoring node of an advanced civilization."

Vice President Wang said in a deep voice: "If this is true, then our time may be more urgent than expected... It is very likely that the advanced civilization has already noticed our actions."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out,"

Chen Lin nodded, "But we can't determine the specific intention of the signal yet. We need more information to make a judgment."

Chairman Zhang hesitated for a moment, then decisively ordered: "Immediately strengthen the defense system of the Origin Space Station, and notify all outer space stations to enter a state of alert!"

The emergency alert state was suddenly launched. Chen Lin insisted on going to the gravity well platform on the Origin Star. The reason was difficult for this group of people to refuse - he was the person Ding Yi first established contact with, and he was the most suitable person to stay here in the entire research team.

Not long after Chen Lin arrived here, he encountered the first wave of signal roars - on the dome holographic screen of the research center, the signal from deep space was unfolding in a spiral shape.

Chen Lin stared at the constantly reorganizing geometric ripples and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his temple—countless images exploded in his consciousness like quantum bubbles.

Instantly, he saw scenes in his mind - a burning space station, a planet collapsed into a ring, and Ding Yi's blurry quantum projection writing some kind of Möbius ring-shaped text in the nebula!

"Vice president!"

Dr. Li's voice pulled him back to reality. "These symbols are changing the observer's synaptic connection pattern. Don't think about these things, don't look at them!"

Chen Lin's back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat.

He thought of the circular text that predicted the future. At this moment, the rotating Klein bottle structure in the signal was reconstructing his perception of time in the same strange way.

When he looked up again, three time and space scenes appeared in front of his eyes at the same time - the laboratory where the signal was being analyzed at this moment, the fire of a shuttle explosion twenty years later, and a conversation that had not yet taken place.

An image resembling Ding Yi whispered in the quantum ocean: "They are not destroyers, but gardeners. Accept them."

"Notify the Linguistics Department!"

Chen Lin suddenly grabbed the edge of the operating table. "This is not an electromagnetic signal, but a space-time topological model that encapsulates a cognitive framework. Let them analyze what these models represent. We are in a hurry!"

"Yes!"

When Chief Linguist Lin Tong was urgently called in, the signal had already autonomously generated a holographic projection.

Seven silver-white columns were suspended in the air, with light patterns similar to Ding Yi's quantum codes flowing on their surfaces.

Lin Tong's pupils shrank slightly - this was exactly the three-dimensional version of the writing of some advanced civilization, and each symbol contained a causal loop.

“They’re teaching us to write in four dimensions.”

Lin Tong's fingers penetrated the column, and the ripples immediately reorganized into a neural development map of a human embryo. "It's like teaching a newborn to build brain grooves and convolutions..."

Suddenly, an alarm sounded, and the source of the signal had reached the outskirts of the origin galaxy, and in a very short time, it revealed its true appearance - it was a silver star body composed of countless Klein rings nested together, and the patterns flowing on its surface were exactly the same as those on the Dingyi Star Ruins!
What is even more shocking is that the timestamps of all defense systems at the same time showed a reverse flow, which means that the technology of the planet where the signal was sourced has reached an astonishing level, far beyond the limits imagined by the Earth at that time.

"They are using gravity to manipulate the local curvature of spacetime."

Dr. Li stared at the surveillance footage that was rewinded for ten minutes, and finally understood why the early warning system failed - the other party always existed in the future they were observing, and the sender of the signal already knew everything they were going to do, and he was just trying to convey information to them in some way.

At this moment, Chen Lin's consciousness was being torn between multiple time and space - he saw himself twenty years later holding a quantum annihilator, and he also saw Lin Tong communicating with light and shadow using sign language inside the silver star.

When a certain critical moment came, the two scenes suddenly merged into the image of Ding Yi. After seeing Chen Lin, that guy was not surprised at all, and showed his signature smile: "I didn't expect to see you in the end. I'm not surprised at all!"

"Do you have time to explain?"

"I'm afraid there's not enough time."

Ding Yi's whole body was flashing with a dazzling light. He smiled at Chen Lin and said, "Don't be so nervous. It seems that my previous bet was right. The owner of the ruins on my planet has returned, but they are now high-dimensional creatures, so I can't explain too much to you directly."

"Listen to me. Go back and have the guys in the association activate the second stage of quantum cloaking."

"Time is tight so I can't explain too much, but these guys are here to help us. You just need to do what I say."

After Ding Yi finished speaking, Chen Lin immediately came out of his previous state. He was dazed for a moment and then woke up. He immediately said to everyone: "Start the second stage of quantum cloaking!"

Chen Lin suddenly gave an order to the void. To everyone's astonishment, he explained, "They are waiting for us to complete the cognitive transition and then wrap the entire solar system into a Hawking radiation membrane, just like wrapping our thoughts with circular text - we must take the initiative to become a 'grammatical error' in the space-time structure."

The silver star suddenly began to collapse, and all the Klein rings bloomed into the Rose Nebula towards the human defense line.

Seven future branches were reflected in Lin Tong's irises. She reached out to touch one of the starlights, and suddenly a picture appeared in front of her eyes - there, Ding Yi's quantum state was having a Morse code-like conversation with the ancient consciousness in the core of the silver star.

Almost everyone at the scene saw the same scene as Lin Tong. Ding Yi's image appeared in front of everyone. He conveyed some kind of information to everyone at the scene in a special way.

The second stage of quantum stealth was quickly activated, and this invisible high-dimensional civilization quickly used their methods to help the Red Dragon Association complete its hiding. Everything seemed as if nothing had changed, yet it seemed as if there had been some changes.

"it's over"

A few minutes later, a staff member whispered to his colleague, "Why do I feel like nothing has changed?"

"What changes can there be? This is a big change at the macro level, but it will have almost no impact on us specifically."

The colleague shook his head at him and said, "Does this mean that our research team has achieved its goal?"

"It seems... that's indeed the case." (End of this chapter)
