Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 168 Four-dimensional Space Creatures

"It seems that this race still retains some very ancient customs. They actually like to paint murals so much."

Yuanze looked all the way over and saw that from the ceiling to the two sides, all places that did not affect the operation of the equipment were covered with murals.

"And this has existed for a long time. The murals in the passage we just passed through were dated by isotopes to be millions of years old."

"That's a bit strange. I remember Mingtu said they were the first to come to Blue Star, but they didn't discover it. Could it be that this civilization has a higher level of technology?"

Astra shook his head, blinked helplessly at Yuanze twice, and spread his hands helplessly.

Yuanze continued to move forward and came to an empty room whose function he didn't know.

Suddenly, he felt something strange and quickly hid under the table.

"They lost all three of their subspace beacons here."

"See if there is any key information in it."

"The instrument is broken."

"EN, can you fix it?"

"The damage inside is so severe that it is impossible to repair it."

Yuanze heard Winster's voice, and it seemed that his code name in the group was EN.

"Does anyone have a spare subspace beacon?"

After a moment of silence, the team leader stopped dwelling on this issue.

"Just because something is here doesn't mean they disappeared here. Let's check this room first to see if there are any clues."

However, the four of them spread out and searched every corner of the room carefully.

Yuanze also paid close attention to their movements. After all, he didn't know whether the detectors in their hands could see him.

Anyway, I can't see them, I can only judge through the perception ability of "flow"

However, their equipment was too sophisticated, and Flow could not obtain much information, and could not judge their detailed movements.

"Ouch, I stepped on something." The man felt a hard bump on his foot, "It turned out to be a gap."

A mercenary stepped on Yuanze's toe, but there happened to be a gap there, and Yuanze escaped.

Fortunately, they did not stay here for long. They walked out the door after the search.

Yuanze listened carefully to the sound of them stepping on the door frame, and only came out after he determined that they had all left.

"Astra, is there something wrong with your map? The red dot was so far away from my map just now."

"Do I need you to remind me?"

Astra is like a child who has reached her rebellious stage, and she is very dissatisfied with Yuanze's attitude of doubting her.

"When they were still here, I checked the data. There was no problem at all. They must have passed through a device similar to a portal, and the data lost its coordinates for a short time."

"Then let's go first."

"Then aren't you curious about why the mercenaries' equipment was left here? You pig-brained!"

"I'm not curious! How can you talk like that? You have no manners at all! If you continue like this, I will punish you."

"You can't touch me."

"Do you still think it was in the past when you had no sense of touch?"

Yuanze poked her hard, causing her to pout, and she punched him back.

But playing around aside, he was actually quite curious as to why there was communication equipment belonging to Clauser's team here.

"Look at the map. The red dot has stopped at that place. The signal is getting worse and worse. And you just heard that their communication equipment is also lost. Apparently, the facility has not been maintained for so many years, and there is something wrong."

"That means there should be another passage here, and it's not the same passage they came through."

"Yes."

"Then how are you going to find it? They have better equipment than me, and they have been teleported once, but they still didn't find it." "That's because their equipment is not equipped with intelligence like mine, and they don't have my assistance."

"Okay, okay, Astra, you're the best. Tell me where it is."

It turns out that the structure of this house is not arranged in a smooth space as most people understand.

Instead, it is closer to the spatial structure of Yang Lao Auction House, and even more complex, very close to four-dimensional space.

Naturally, the teleportation device here is also set to use a space distortion method rather than the common quantum teleportation.

That is to say, it relies on temporarily changing the spatial structure of the target and the starting point to become a four-dimensional structure.

This achieves synchronization between the inside and the outside, just like a Klein bottle, connecting the two spaces.

This also explains why the subspace beacon, a means of transmitting messages through space, would be left in place and destroyed.

Because it is very likely to interfere with or even destroy the transmission process, thus creating unpredictable results.

So when this device is detected, they will be transported to an unfamiliar area near the transporter.

"How did you find out?"

"I've been fascinated by the history of human development recently, and I've discovered that primitive people worshipped many things they didn't understand, and would pass them down in various ways, such as writing and painting."

"This has nothing to do with what you explained."

"You didn't pay attention to the content of the murals. Many of them record a kind of worship of different spatial configurations, just like primitive people's ancestor worship, animal worship, etc."

"Um"

"This shows that on their planet, there are all kinds of different spaces, and there may be a large number of creatures that are not arranged in simple three-dimensional space. This further makes their civilization completely different from ours."

"so……"

"The content of this mural is their writing, so I interpreted part of it. The obscure space pattern on the portal operating table is the instruction manual."

Under Astra's command, Yuanze began to use source power to construct these complex spatial configurations.

"It's too complicated. I'm not able to perform such complicated operations on the source power right now."

"Look at you. You have revealed another flaw in your practice. If you walk around more, you will know how inadequate you are."

"Stop being sarcastic. You're smart, just do it for me."

"I've been waiting for you to say this." Astra lifted her hair and said, "Put your energy into my nerves."

"Then hurry up. There's no way over there, so we'll have to turn back soon. And the debris from the explosion is still on the ground. They'll definitely realize that there are other people here."

"Watch carefully. I will construct it according to the process of the "Practice Guide". It will also help you build your domain in the future."

First, Astra identified all the spatial nodes that needed to be changed, which are the basis of the spatial structure.

Then, she connected the marked nodes with source force to form the framework of space.

Next, twist the source force used for connection so that it twists the space you need.

Afterwards, use the source force to cover the entire surface of the space, fill it with the source force, and distort it completely.

Finally, use nerves or source power to sense the stability of the spatial structure to ensure that it has the characteristics and stability you want.

However, Yuanze still didn't understand it under the "flow" and was stuck at the first step of understanding.

He simply couldn't find the spatial nodes in the invisible space, let alone mark them out.

"You need to improve your understanding. Read more books on 'space' stored here, especially those on the concept of Planck space."

"Ok."

Yuanze also admitted that he had not learned and understood new knowledge for a long time.

On both the combat and theory ends, Yuanze has neglected theory for a long time, and he cannot repeat the ridiculous scene in Professor Sun's video where a scout-level source warrior was killed by an extraordinary-level source beast.
