The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

On the other end of the communication was a research team, who excitedly reported the good news to Edith.

"Ms. Edith, good news!"

"Which project was successful?" Edith asked.

With so many research projects under her management, Edith herself wasn't sure which one had been successful.

The researcher on the other end of the communication line was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "It's the dimensionality reduction engine! The dimensionality reduction engine is working!"

Edith then disconnected from the other end of the communication.

"Dimensional reduction engine? What's that?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

“A faster-than-light engine developed based on the premise that higher-dimensional spacetime will inevitably fall into lower-dimensional spacetime. Theoretically, its displacement speed has no upper limit, and even…” Edith paused for a moment before continuing, “it can also be completed instantaneously, like quantum entanglement.”

Lin Feng was taken aback, and asked with great interest, "Didn't you just say that the only truly superluminal phenomena observed so far are spacetime expansion and quantum entanglement?"

Edith said, "The dimension reduction engine utilizes spacetime expansion, so it travels faster than the speed of light."

Utilizing spacetime expansion?!

Dimensional reduction... spacetime expansion...

Lin Feng thought for a moment before replying, "Please give me a detailed introduction."

Edith replied, "Maple, if you want to understand the dimensional reduction engine, you first need to understand a concept: spacetime values ​​are immutable. They can be transformed into values ​​of other spatial dimensions, and can even be completely transformed into zero values, but they will not evaporate out of thin air, because the values ​​of the universe are constant."

"Then, imagine a spacetime as some kind of object. Take three dimensions as an example. If three-dimensional space is reduced to two dimensions, then the 'height' that was originally in three-dimensional space will necessarily be transferred to the 'length' and 'width' in two dimensions. Thus, it can be proven that spacetime expands during the dimensionality reduction process. The universe itself has proven that the expansion of spacetime can exceed the speed of light. This is the basic principle of the dimensionality reduction engine."

"Because it's not motion, there's no need to consider inertia either. Even if it drops from faster than light speed to zero speed in an instant, it's perfectly fine."

In layman's terms, it means using space as fuel and taking advantage of the spacetime expansion effect created during dimensional reduction to 'push' objects in space into the distance.

To use a three-dimensional space as an analogy, when three-dimensional space is reduced to two dimensions, the space will inevitably 'expand', and the values ​​of the third dimension will inevitably be transformed into the two directions of the two dimensions. So what about two-dimensional matter that is already at the edge of the third dimension?

Where would they be in this unfolded two-dimensional space?

The answer is naturally the edge of the unfolded two-dimensional space. In the three-dimensional state, these two-dimensional substances are already at the edge of space. There is no reason for them to be moved to other places for no reason after being unfolded. The dimensional reduction attack is not about unfolding and flattening the paper ball. It is about using a hydraulic press to directly compress and flatten the paper ball.

"If I understand correctly, the cost of using this engine is to reduce the three dimensions of spacetime to two dimensions, right?" Lin Feng asked.

Edith gave a clear answer: "Yes, this faster-than-light travel method is very 'polluting' to spacetime, but we have another, more environmentally friendly way of using it, which is to reduce high-dimensional spacetime to three dimensions."

Reducing three dimensions to two dimensions would cause irreversible spacetime pollution to the universe, which is not a good thing in the long run. Therefore, Edith's research team came up with another solution: utilizing high-dimensional spacetime fragments.

Since reducing three dimensions to two dimensions is not feasible, we should try to create high-dimensional spacetime fragments as fuel. Reducing a ten-dimensional space fragment to three dimensions would be more effective than reducing three dimensions to two dimensions, since the former reduces the space dimension to more dimensions and thus expands the area.

But now another question arises: how do we create higher-dimensional spacetime?

"How do you plan to restore spacetime to a higher-dimensional state?" Lin Feng asked.

Edith replied, "By creating a high-energy environment to simulate the early stages of the Big Bang, we can restore spacetime to its original high-dimensional state."

"This requires an enormous amount of energy," Lin Feng said.

Particle accelerators can briefly recreate the environment of the early Big Bang, restoring not only matter but also spacetime. However, the problem is that these environments exist for very short periods and are extremely small in scale. If the entire system were to use them, the consumption of matter would be astronomical.

Edith admitted, "Yes, not only is the energy requirement enormous, but the efficiency of reshaping high-dimensional spacetime is also very low, making it virtually impossible to achieve long-distance faster-than-light travel."

"But if we could have a microcosm, the situation would be very different. By simulating the birth of the universe in a microcosm, we can efficiently utilize mass-energy and create large areas of high-dimensional spacetime."

Edith was referring to the Black Tide's attempt to plunder matter from the greater universe and transform the microcosm into the macrocosm in order to become a god.

After mastering the microcosm technology, the unified entity does not need to plunder all the matter in the macrocosm; it only needs to transfer a small portion of the matter. Through this matter, it can simulate the Big Bang of the macrocosm in the microcosm, thereby creating a higher-dimensional spacetime.

Furthermore, because there is a barrier between the microcosm and the macrocosm, the lower dimensions of the macrocosm will not affect the higher dimensions of the microcosm. Therefore, there will be no situation where the microcosm is immediately reduced in dimension after it is created.

Chapter 381 The Information Board of Light

Time flies, and four thousand years have passed. The dimensional reduction engine is approaching practical application. It uses the black domain to wrap the high-dimensional spacetime fragments created from the microcosm. As the black domain expands in the thin areas, it pulls the speed of light and time back to normal values. The high-dimensional fragments wrapped in the black domain undergo dimensional reduction expansion.

At the same time, the spaceship located at the gap in the dark domain throws a large number of three-dimensional bricks into the dark domain, causing multiple regions of the high-dimensional space to be reduced in dimensionality at the same time, accelerating the rate of dimensional reduction. The spaceship can then use the expansion of three-dimensional spacetime to travel to a place tens of millions of light-years away in an instant.

Such a displacement speed would have been enough to excite everyone in the unified entity during the Milky Way era, but for the photon beings who have now become photonic and collectively possess the ability to traverse Planck-scale wormholes, it is merely icing on the cake.

After all, tens of millions of light-years are not the same as wormholes. Wormholes are shortcuts, and it's no problem to reach the edge of the universe in no time. After four thousand years of exploration and research, the Unified Entity has mastered a set of technologies for creating wormholes.

By using quantum black holes to tear spacetime at the microscopic scale, the torn spacetime is created into a small universe with two doors. Two photons are used as anchors, and one photon passes through a randomly formed Planck wormhole, thus establishing wormholes in both locations. Large wormholes can be created simply by expanding these microscopic artificial wormholes.

Maintaining these wormholes isn't too difficult, because the Planck scale is too microscopic. If you were to compare a proton to a Planck scale and place it on a human body, that would be the Milky Way compared to a human. The energy consumed by these wormholes in a day would be equivalent to that of a single Nanfu battery.

In addition to spending four thousand years deploying wormhole grids throughout the universe, the Unified Entity also used these wormhole grids to build a material circulation network.

Of course, what circulates is quantum mechanics, and large matter needs to spend energy to temporarily expand the wormhole when passing through the wormhole grid.

The consortium selected several neutron stars in the galaxy as batteries to maintain the wormhole grid. Their electromagnetic pulses are transmitted through the wormhole grid to each micro-wormhole, and each micro-wormhole relies on these tiny amounts of electrical energy to maintain its existence.

This period of history is referred to by the people of the unified entity as the 'Wormhole Era'.

Over the past four thousand years, the research on gravitonization of the unified entity has not been smooth due to the problems of graviton civilization. Despite a long period of research, apart from obtaining some physical data and spacetime parameters, it can be said that there has been no progress.

It's not that no one has considered finding a gravity-free space to conduct experiments, but the results have still been unsatisfactory because interference from graviton civilizations, which the consortium does not want to see, still exists.

The final conclusion is that the graviton civilization is merely a facade, or rather, the entire system misunderstood it from the beginning. These hidden civilizations operate on spacetime, but their exact location within spacetime remains to be studied.

Over the course of four thousand years, the Unified Body has discovered many other similar microscopic civilizations, including those with neutrinos, protons, and neutrons. These civilizations have shown a relatively friendly attitude towards the Unified Body, and some have even followed its lead.

Of course, there are also factors involved where photonics are more grounded and have long since broken free from the constraints of the speed of light. Civilizations within planets look at space civilizations as if they were gods, civilizations within star systems look at interstellar civilizations as if they were gods, and interstellar civilizations look at light-speed civilizations as if they were gods.

Therefore, for microscopic civilizations like these, which have already been miniaturized but are still limited by the speed of light, looking at the unified entity feels just like looking at a god.

Because of these existing micro-civilizations, the unified entity influenced by the graviton civilization has experienced a significant reduction in unease, which has gradually disappeared over time.

In the year 5604 of the Wormhole Era, the first photon beings to come into contact with the expanding spacetime at the edge of the universe established a microscopic wormhole there. People can go and take a look at what the edge of the universe looks like when they have nothing else to do.

In the year 6799 of the Wormhole Era, the Microcosm Project was signed and implemented by Lin Feng, and a batch of microcosms disappeared from the universe as seeds of the unification body.

In the year 7944 of the Wormhole Era, strange changes occurred on a cosmic scale. These strange changes were not limited to a small area, but rather spanned the entire universe.

The conflicts between civilizations in the universe are decreasing sharply. Within the unified entity, there are various interpretations. Some say that this indicates the birth of a civilization on a cosmic scale that is establishing a regime. Others believe that this foreshadows a cosmic catastrophe that is brewing. Still others believe that civilizations in the universe have realized that war is merely a futile act that increases the entropy of the universe and is meaningless. Therefore, the number of wars in the universe is gradually decreasing.

In short, everyone had their own opinion, and everyone thought their point of view was correct. So they made their own preparations. Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to them. As long as these people didn't break the information blockade of the integration, no one would care if they found platelet wives.

In the year 7956 of the Wormhole Era, a piece of news moved Lin Feng deeply.

"What's wrong?" Lin Feng asked.

Because it is the internet age, emotions are expressed by directly conveying information through data. Lin Feng was able to sense, quite unusually, the genuine fear that Davis was feeling when he came to report.

After so many years of getting along, Lin Feng understands Davis. He knows that Davis can panic over certain things, but he is not afraid or even terrified by certain things.

Davis reported, "Mr. Taylor, war has broken out."

war?

Whose war?

Upon hearing the news of war, Lin Feng immediately became serious and hurriedly asked, "Explain clearly, who is at war with whom?"

“A war across the entire universe,” Davis replied.

The whole universe?

After considering it for a moment, Lin Feng realized that the only civilization capable of radiating power across the entire universe seemed to be the Graviton Civilization, so he asked.

"Is it a graviton civilization?"

"It's still uncertain. In any case, the unified entity is also on this battlefield and could be affected by the battle between advanced civilizations at any time."

This news spread throughout the Unified Body. The Unified Body was not warlike, after all, survival was everything. The higher-ups immediately thought of creating a miniature universe to escape to the outside world.

However, before the unified organization could even create a miniature universe to escape, the unified organization's photon entangled network was invaded by an unknown enemy.

Fortunately, the opponent was unaware of the photon entangled network, and the unified entity easily eliminated these unknown adversaries from the photon entangled network.

However, this incident foreshadows a very serious problem. It means that information about the existence of the unified entity has been exposed, and it may be exposed even further over time.

If left unchecked, the consequences will be devastating.

As expected, a month later, a three-digit information flow began to infiltrate the photonic entangled network; two months later, a five-digit information flow began to infiltrate; and three months later, the infiltrated information flow reached eight digits...

"Currently, there are a total of 8233507691 data streams hidden in the photon entangled network."

"Query the ID, lock onto the target, and then notify the photon man of the entangled photon to manipulate the photon into falling into a quantum black hole in the void, thus destroying the quantum entanglement."

"learn."

In addition to the escalating intrusion into the photon entangled network, large-scale dimensional reduction has begun to appear in various parts of the universe. These civilizations seem to have planned it all along, which is causing concern for the unified entity.

The unified entity has placed macroscopic civilizations throughout the universe to ensure that if a potential attack wipes out the Photon People, the civilizations will still have the capacity to recover.

"Have the colonies been settled?" Old Pan asked the team members.

The team members replied firmly, "Everything is settled. Even in the worst-case scenario, the consortium will not perish immediately. We will have the opportunity to start over."

Besides these colonies, there are also microcosmic sparks of the unified entity beyond the universe. The unified entity will not perish; this is where our faith lies.

Another member of the Photon team contacted Lao Pan to report, "Team Leader Pan, the higher-ups have sent us the latest news."

"explain."

"This is a chaotic battle without distinction. It's not just our unified entity facing multiple civilizations, but multiple civilizations facing multiple civilizations. The unified entity has been drawn into this war," the team member repeated the words of the higher-ups.

In the past, civilizations in the universe also fought each other, but it wasn't as crazy as it is now. Compared to now, the sudden high-energy attacks that appeared back then were quite restrained.

"A cosmic war?" Old Pan was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"I'm afraid that's the case."

Old Pan pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out. "Why?"

"The cause is still under investigation." The team member hesitated for a moment, then continued, "However, I think we probably won't find anything. The scale is too large, and there are so many advanced civilizations involved. Even if there is a cause, it won't leave any trace in this chaotic situation. Right now, even spacetime is breaking down in the universe."

……

Sometimes, destruction can come so quickly that you don't even notice it.

When Lin Feng came to his senses, he found himself in a vast white expanse, and he had regained his human body with all his limbs intact.

This is very unusual, considering he has already become photonized.

Lin Feng carefully recalled his memories from the previous second. At that time, he was still in the Council of Ten, discussing the follow-up arrangements with representatives from all parties of the consortium.

Without needing many words, Lin Feng naturally understood that his current situation must be the work of some civilization in the universe.

Suddenly, a familiar-looking sphere of light appeared in the blank space. The sphere was not dazzling, and the light was very soft.
