Chapter 535 How many dimensions does our world have?

   "The sun?" Hearing what Darren said, Maca had a look of surprise on his face.

   "Yes, it is a very large fireball that automatically glows and heats... No, it should be called a plasma ball." Darren showed off the little knowledge in his mind.

  The astonished eyes of these natives gave him a very strong sense of superiority.

  The halflings present were whispering, and Maca also remembered that he had heard this word in the tribe.

It seems that a long time ago, there was a sun in this world, but Maca has never seen it, and only learned from the few words of the ancestors that it has endless light and heat that can illuminate the vast land, and the light it emits is comparable to [ Blazing Mushroom] The fluorescence emitted by the jungle is 100,000 times more intense!

  Maka can't even imagine what kind of power it is that can fill the whole world with light!

   You must know that in this cold and dark foreign land, light and heat are very precious resources.

   Subconsciously, Maca thought that Darren must be lying, but he couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart, because these outsiders did show abilities beyond expectations.

  For example, they can make a kind of soft food out of thin air, and for example, these people can manipulate flames, frost and lightning, and can easily defeat powerful and dangerous monsters.

  The high priest once expressed jealously that if the Moon God hadn't left this world, they would definitely be able to do the same thing.

  Of course, now the high priest has been directly killed for resisting outsiders, and his body has been turned into an ice sculpture and buried with his followers.

  The rest of the halflings are emotionally stable, because in this world abandoned by gods, it is obvious that the strong get everything and the weak choose to obey.

  A few years ago, when the temperature in the foreign land was not so low, there were several tribes in this area, and plundering, enslaving, and fighting were common occurrences.

Maca didn't even have any awe or belief in the moon **** Diana, because since his birth, the tribe had never stopped offering sacrifices to the moon god, but that **** never cared about their life and death. .

   Maybe just like what these outsiders said, she has fallen!

  A dead **** naturally no longer has any value, and can't even provide a vague hope.

   "The Speaker Lynn you mentioned...is he also a god?" Maca asked involuntarily. In his cognition, God is the most powerful existence and the root of all miracles.

   "No, he is a wizard, the most powerful wizard!" Darren corrected,

   "Wizard..." Maca said this slightly awkward word, which doesn't exist in the tribal language, so Darren used the common language of the Eternal Continent.

  Maka firmly remembered this imported vocabulary in his heart. In his eyes, a wizard represented a powerful force, an existence as powerful as a god.

   "Since you can create the sun, can you..." Maca hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth. "Can you help us build one too?"

   If there was a sun in this world, everything would be fine, right?

  At least they don't need to worry about light and heat anymore.

  However, the experience of living in a foreign land for many years made Maca understand that the favor was never in vain, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any bargaining chips they could offer in exchange.

  Because the survival of the entire tribe now depends on the other party's thoughts, theoretically including their lives are the property of the other party, and taking the other party's things as a condition of exchange, Maca can't do such a thing.

   "By the way, there is also faith! As long as you can help us build a sun, we will dedicate our faith!" Maca suddenly thought of this, and said firmly.

  Freedom of thought is the only thing they have, and since the moon **** needs or likes their worship, maybe the wizards will want this too.

  Anyway, when they hunted successfully in the past, they would perform routine prayers, but now it is nothing more than a different person worshiping.

   "Wizards don't need faith..." Darren shook his head, rejected Maca's proposal, and then spoke again.

   "You just need to... well, work hard, as long as you have enough merits, it is not impossible to create a sun for you..."

  Darren was eloquently drawing cakes for a group of halflings, although in his opinion, this was not considered fooling around.

  Before going to foreign lands, Darren heard that the council was preparing to build solar furnaces in all major cities to provide a steady stream of energy.

  If these halfling compatriots can really make a big enough contribution, he thinks it is not impossible for the parliament to create a 'sun' for them!

Under Darren's continuous encouragement, Maca and others fantasized about what a life with endless light and heat would look like. Many halflings are even more interested in the world outside the gate of time and space that Darren said .

  Compared to the dark and silent land abandoned by gods full of dangerous beasts and undead, the vibrant world that Darren talks about is like heaven.

   While the halflings were chattering, Raphael had already received the message that the people who went to investigate outside had returned.

  A few black mephits flew in first, followed by Alchemist Tik and a small group of halfling sentries.

  Tik's face was full of sorrow, but he didn't speak, but couldn't help but glanced at the halfling natives gathered here.

  Raphael immediately understood what he meant, silently unfolded the domain and wrapped several people in it, and the sound-proof barrier was completed in an instant.

  Tick spoke eagerly at this time. "Master Raphael, the situation outside is very bad now, a large number of undead are gathering here!"

"Did something happen? Could it be that our position has been exposed?" Raphael's face changed slightly. Even though he had a premonition that the news from Tick must be bad news, he didn't expect such bad news. .

  Yurand immediately turned his attention to the halfling natives present.

  He suspected that these people revealed their intelligence.

  Although after controlling the settlement, Raphael let the psychic wizards set up forbidden magic in each of their minds, but it was obviously not safe enough, after all, their opponents were the ones who were best at playing with souls.

   "No, I don't think they're here to catch us."

  Tik shook his head, because the undead didn't directly surround them, but were looking for something in the whole area aimlessly, as if digging three feet into the ground.

   "Could it be that the impact of our frequent opening and closing of the time-space gate has been perceived..." Yolande speculated.

Raphael is also thinking about this possibility. Every time the gate of time and space is opened, a large amount of magic power will flow into another world, just like a small stream branching out from a big river. Although the rate of loss is very slow, but It is indeed possible to be perceived.

   "How far are they from us now?" Raphael asked solemnly.

   "Less than fifty kilometers." Tik replied. "The undead are searching every possible location, and I even saw a dragon level a small hill to make sure there was nothing inside."

   "Four days, at most four days, they can find here!" Tik added.

  Although the search range of the skeleton soldiers tends to expand, but these undead can't bear to sleep, so they will be able to find here sooner or later.

  Raphael frowned and pondered for a long time, this is undoubtedly the worst possibility.

   "We must find a way to lure them away, and delay the time for these undead to find the node of time and space as much as possible." Raphael said firmly.

During the time spent in the foreign land, apart from subduing the halfling settlement and instructing them to investigate information, Raphael also did a lot of things, such as setting up alchemy blocks near the time and space nodes in the valley to isolate sight and sense magic power. circle.

  But Raphael didn't feel that his arrangement could hide those **** skeletons, and the other party would definitely level every place he could find without hesitation.

   So the only way to attract them to another place.

  Because the time flow rates of the two worlds are different, every day they delay is equivalent to earning seven days!

  But this also means that they need to face the vast, powerful and dangerous undead army.

   "Anyway, let's send someone back to report the news first." Rafael sighed, then looked at Yolande, Tick, Ivana, Darren and the others without saying a word. Instead, let them choose who goes and who stays.

   Returning means survival, and leaving behind is almost dead, because they must go to a place as far away from the time and space gate as possible, and the possibility of being able to kill them back is extremely slim.

   "Ivana, it's up to you to go back and report." Tick said suddenly, she is the youngest person here, and she deserves this only life.

  However, the girl shook her head. The moment she joined the exotic exploration team, she was ready to sacrifice.

  The rest of the people were also silent, and a dignified atmosphere suddenly enveloped the resident.

   "That's decided by drawing lots!" Raphael finally decided, this is the most fair, and there is no need to argue.

  …

  In the newly built magic tower in the Magic Kingdom, Vittorio, who had just received the information and rushed back from the northern border, was interrupted by an explosive news before he had time to report.

"What are you talking about? Altok... turned into a cloud of probability?" Vittorio almost spit out the tea he just drank, and looked at Lynn and others in disbelief, as if they were talking about an absurd joke.

   "Although I really don't want to believe it, it seems that this is indeed the case..." Aurora shrugged, and told them everything they saw in the laboratory in the wizard's land.

  A person who is united and separated, Vittorio really can't restore such an image in his mind...

   Grotesque...this can only be described as grotesque!

   "Is this still magic?" Anthony on the side was also stunned. Like Vittorio, he heard the news for the first time.

  Harov and Aurora are also thinking about this question. Ever since they started to study the microcosm, the common sense of magic has been torn to pieces, and the world seems to be becoming more and more weird.

"Actually, there's nothing strange about it. It's just a sense of fragmentation caused by viewing high-dimensional from low-dimensional." Lynn flipped through the book about elemental ghosts written by Altok in his hand, and interrupted several people with his words session.

   "Gaowei?" Harov and the others looked over and were extremely surprised by the new vocabulary Lynn proposed.

   "Not bad!" Lynn nodded. "It may be more intuitive to express it with an Olympic number."

   "For example, you can think of the zero-dimensional as an infinitely small point, and the one-dimensional is an infinitely long straight line with only the concept of length, and the 2-dimensional is a plane composed of length and width..."

   While speaking, Lin En raised his right hand, and under the surge of magic power, a tiny dot appeared in front of everyone, and then it changed from a dot to a line and then to a plane...

   "So the third dimension is a cube with length, width, and height?" Aurora immediately understood.

   This is the concept of the coordinate system in Mathematical Olympiad. Every additional axis represents an increase in dimension.

   "What about the higher dimension? Where should it extend from?" Harov asked in confusion. With the length, width, and height already available, where can the fourth dimension extend from?

   "Could it be time?" Anthony suddenly replied.

  According to Lynn, that dimension is an invisible, intangible, ubiquitous thing that can theoretically be infinitely divided, and time can undoubtedly correspond to every point.

   And it can be warped and affected by gravity just like space...

Lynn didn't answer, and tapped the table lightly with his hands, about how many dimensions the universe has, and what kind of state the fourth and fifth dimensions exist in. conclusions, and even resulted in great disagreement.

  For example, the well-known Einstein once proposed the four-dimensional space-time theory, believing that the universe is composed of time and space, adding a time axis to the structure of the three axes of length, width, and height in ordinary three-dimensional space.

   That is, the three-dimensional static universe and the four-dimensional dynamic universe.

However, many federal researchers do not agree with this statement, and put forward an interesting hypothesis, if there are two-dimensional creatures in their current universe, these creatures can move freely in two-dimensional space, and at the same time, they can perceive the passage of time , Then will their scientists directly regard time as the third dimension?

  Therefore, many people advocate to distinguish the dimension of space from the dimension of time, and simply study the concept of dimension in mathematics and the concept of space. The famous string theory even believes that space has as many as eleven dimensions!

  After seeing Altok’s state, Lin En also recognized the statement that space has more than three dimensions, because apart from the time dimension, it has now been confirmed that there is indeed a fourth space dimension!
