Chapter 232 Dark Territory
“Is this the First World? It doesn’t look very suitable for human habitation.” Standing on the edge of the spacecraft, Wang Miao stared at the planet with his naked eyes and couldn’t help but say.

At this point, humans have arrived at the first planet “suitable” for human habitation.

Of course, this suitability is only relative.

After all, there is no plant or animal cover on this planet, nor is there any gas such as oxygen.

Perhaps the only advantage is that this place is like a remote area in the universe, and no other powerful civilization has noticed it.

“Hey, you don’t understand this, Lu Xun once said: There is no oxygen on the planet, but when more people do photosynthesis, oxygen will appear.”

“I’m sure Lu Xun never said that.”

Although this planet is not suitable for human habitation, as the saying goes, life is like a strong alkali. Since we can’t resist it, we might as well close our eyes and enjoy it.

This sentence is just right for today’s human beings.

They are a group of “low entropy bodies” that have not reached the speed of light. They can just live on any planet. Why should they be so picky?

After all, there is no superluminal route in their world, so the previous generation can’t plant trees and future generations can enjoy the shade.

Our ancestors not only cut down the trees, but also hung several more suns in the sky, mocking later civilizations.

In the 107th year of the New Era, that is, the 107th year after humans arrived in the “First World”, the curvature engine was officially put into use.

This engine, which distorts space-time, causing the space in front of the spacecraft to contract and the space behind it to expand, thereby pushing the spacecraft to the speed of light, has finally been officially used by humans.

This also means that humans finally have a place in this universe.

The first thing humans have to do is to eliminate those Trisolarans who have left.

Although the universe is infinitely large, anyone with a brain knows that it is impossible for a normal civilization to survive on any planet far away.

After all, you never know when and where a monster might appear and kill you.

Thanks to the existence of a certain artificial intelligence, humans easily found the fleeing Trisolarans and very “kindly” created a black area for them.

That is, the speed of light is so great that the star system they are in is lower than the third cosmic speed.

In this case, not even light can escape this star system, let alone the civilization within it.

In such an environment, unless that civilization is very good and has numerous technological explosions, and develops technology that “breaks the speed of light”, otherwise, this place will be an eternal prison.
However, when the speed of light is reduced, the electronic computers and quantum computers in this star system can only operate at extremely low speeds. This is a technological blockade stronger than that of the sophon, and a real technological damage.

Not to mention development, even not regressing is success among successes.

Although it looks very powerful, the Black Domain is, to some extent, more of a defensive measure.
The black domain will be directly isolated from the outside universe. Attacks from outside cannot come in, and people inside cannot leave. All attacks that reach the speed of light will be reduced to.

In this situation, no civilization would have the time to attack them. Of course, whether this is good or bad, only the civilization in the Black Domain knows.

However, this was clearly the first time that humans put defensive measures before attacking.

From ancient spears to modern firearms and then to nuclear bombs… these means of attack are far beyond the scope of human defense.

But the limit on the speed of light is different.

………………

In the research institute of the third world, Ding Yi was staring at the fragments of the two-dimensional space that had just been created in front of him.

Many years have passed since humans invented warp drive.

Thanks to the development of biotechnology, life span is no longer a factor that limits humans, at least for a while. This allows geniuses to survive forever.

Can you imagine a scene where all the geniuses over hundreds or thousands of years gathered together to discuss scientific issues?

This is what humanity has today.

This is another explosion in the speed of human development. In addition, the next explosion in human technology will probably appear in the creation of more advanced artificial intelligence, or a breakthrough in human brainpower.
After all, I am not smart enough, but the things I made are smart enough, and I let them help me research.

And, I’m not smart enough, but I’m trying to find a way to make myself smart enough to continue to advance technology.

However, due to the gradual difficulty of science and technology, the speed of human development today has actually shown a linear development to a certain extent.

That is, the level of technology = time × speed of technological development (which is generally a constant).

This is very wrong.

We must know that humans are far from the oldest civilization. In this case, if the speed of human technological development is not the fastest, then it will never be able to catch up with those ancient civilizations.

However, this is still too far away for today’s humans. What we need to consider now is the two-dimensional foil.

In a sense, the two-dimensional foil is much simpler than they realize.

First, create a two-dimensional fragment.

Well, great, you already have a two-dimensional foil.

The key is how you throw it out, how to ensure that it does not touch the three-dimensional space before throwing it out, and how you survive after the two-dimensional space spreads over.

It’s not that humans haven’t thought about using force field technology to block the spread of two-dimensional space.

After all, even if it is difficult, if you can build a large enough force field wall around yourself to block it, wouldn’t that isolate it directly and not spread it?

But when I really studied it, I found that this is not the case at all.

Two-dimensional space and three-dimensional space are like two pools of different heights.

If you isolate them with a force field, that’s fine, but what if two-dimensional and three-dimensional come into contact!
Three-dimensional water pours into two-dimensional water. Can you directly block this pouring “water”?

Just like the diffusion speed of the two-dimensional foil may not be the speed of light, but the escape speed is the speed of light.

One is escaping on a flat space, and the other is escaping against the “water flow”. It is obvious which one is more difficult.

However, Ding Yi now needs to find the answer to a question.

“Do humans really only have the choice of making themselves two-dimensional?”

“Why, this is the general trend of the universe, the general trend that started from the first civilization that reduced its own dimension.”

“I think humans will never become a top civilization under these circumstances.”

It’s like the people on Earth will never understand why the Trisolarans are afraid that the sun will not rise again after it sets.

After all, even when searching for new worlds, humans mostly look for planets where the sun rises and sets normally.

They would never understand what the world is like where the sun sets and never rises again. Similarly, those who have never become higher-dimensional life forms may be able to reproduce higher-dimensional scenes to a certain extent.

But it is absolutely dark to know what the higher dimension is really like and what all the rules of the universe were like before they were modified. When that time comes, if humans are beaten up, it will be a contest of strength with primitive people and a contest of skills with centenarians. They will definitely be beaten to a point where they will be at a loss.
