From the Three-Body Escape to Super God

Chapter 355 Dimensionality Reduction is Actually Just a Strategic Means

No matter how those who were abandoned by Cheng Xin intentionally or unintentionally feel in their hearts.

But Zhang Heng’s target is not them. As long as they no longer stand in Zhang Heng’s way, Zhang Heng will not take their lives.

Besides, it would be better to leave their lives as they are than to take their lives at will.

After all, according to Saint Mother Cheng's character, as long as these people are still alive, she will definitely come out of her small universe to pick them up later.

At that time, if Zhang Heng still wanted to continue fighting with her, he could take this opportunity to give her an unforgettable blow.

It's okay to continue to follow her without fighting, allowing her to successfully bring back these abandoned people and speed up the brewing of humanity.

In the future, they only need to let their human civilization experience a few life-and-death crises to make them realize that the motherly heart of Saint Cheng alone cannot save them.

At that time, they will pull Cheng Shengmu down in the same way as they pushed her up.

Without any obstruction, Zhang Heng quickly snatched the captives of the marginal civilization into his own hands.

Even the space divided from the main film was received into the small universe.

After achieving his goal, Zhang Heng was too lazy to care about those people anymore, and he didn't even think about whether Sheng Mun Cheng would come out again at this time.

Compared with continuing to tangle with Shengmu Cheng, he was more interested in the captives of marginal civilizations.

If we can find the mother world of marginal civilization through them, then the trip will be worthwhile.

Even though the mystery of marginal civilization has now been basically revealed, for Zhang Heng himself, marginal civilization, an existence that he could only look up to, seems to be nothing more than that.

After all, they have not even developed microcosm technology, let alone independent consciousness. At best, they can only be considered a peak level four civilization.

But how many civilizations are there above level five?
Now that he knew the concept of VI-level civilization existed, Zhang Heng had a rough idea of ​​the technological strength of most civilizations in the Three-Body Universe.

Level five can be considered the top civilization in the Trisolaran Universe, because at this level, even if it cannot be judged as VI, it is already infinitely close.

Next is the fourth-level civilization. This level of civilization can be said to be the backbone of the Three-Body Universe. Their number may not be large, but it will not be less than imagined.

The so-called backbone also indirectly shows that in the entire Three-Body Universe, the civilization at their level is the most active.

After all, both the Singer Civilization and the Marginal Civilization are also level four civilizations.

They are the ones who like to make noise the most, and they are also the ones who are on duty outside to do cleaning work all year round.

Apart from that, the rest are just a bunch of former high-dimensional civilizations.

In the Three-Body Universe, or in the entire universe, being born in a high dimension does not mean that one has an advanced civilization.

Because there is a rule of dimensionality reduction in the universe, and there is also the feasibility of upgrading one's own dimensionality, so dimension is no longer an insurmountable gap.

As long as the technology is in place, civilizations born in low dimensions can develop towards higher dimensions.

Civilizations that are born in high dimensions, when they develop to a certain level and understand the history of the entire universe and discover the existence of dimensionality reduction, basically will not allow themselves to stay in high dimensions for long, to avoid one day when the dimension they are in is attacked and they will perish.

In other words, the current universe, whether it is the Three-Body Metaverse or the entire universe including other metaverses.

Before all dimensions are intact, the civilizations living in each dimension are in a mixed state.

The civilization encountered in a higher dimension does not mean that it is a higher-dimensional civilization. Perhaps they are just visiting the higher dimensions. In fact, their parent civilization is waiting in the lowest dimension, waiting for the day when the ten dimensions of the universe can no longer be reduced.

The civilizations we encounter in low dimensions are likely to have come down from higher dimensions.

Although high-dimensional civilizations will lose a lot by doing so, after all, it is far less easy to develop in three-dimensional space than in four-dimensional space.

However, it does not affect them sending some individuals to the three-dimensional space to adapt in advance. Most individuals continue to develop in the four-dimensional space.

The only difference between a civilization born in a higher dimension and a civilization born in a lower dimension is their starting point.

The higher the dimension of birth, the higher the starting point, and the faster the development.

……

Within the small universe.

Zhang Heng looked at this group of indescribable captives from a marginal civilization and had no idea how to describe them. He could only think that they were another type of creature that looked very abstract.

"Who among you can take charge?"

Looking at these marginal captives who all looked similar in his eyes, or even exactly the same, Zhang Heng spoke.

Reading other people's thoughts is a rather laborious job. If Zhang Heng could get the information he wanted through interrogation, he would not want to read the thoughts of these captives from marginal civilizations one by one.

After all, their total number is several thousand.

A marginal civilization's spaceship of that size carries only a few thousand individuals from the marginal civilization, which is actually a very small number.

The language Zhang Heng used to ask questions was of course the universal language of the universe. After his voice fell, these captives from the marginal civilization, who were more than a head shorter than humans, slowly made way until they made way for them.

And in the center of this road, which was the center of the original group of captives, stood a unique captive.

The reason why it is different is that its outer armor is different from that of the captives from other marginal civilizations. It can be seen at first glance that it is a leader.

The marginal civilizations are obviously carbon-based creatures. As long as they are carbon-based creatures, they are not much stronger than humans. Without the protection of external armor, they are also unable to adapt to various environments in the universe.

Since the captive's armor is quite outstanding, he may be the leader among these captives from marginal civilizations.

Then, Zhang Heng's eyes were also locked on it.

"I'll give you 0.01 hours to introduce yourself."

Zhang Heng said to it.

Zhang Heng is not clear about the social structure within the marginal civilization.

We can only make vague guesses about their situation from their arch-enemy, the Singer Civilization.

It is possible that the marginal civilization, like the singer civilization, has a hierarchical structure consisting of a main core, a super core, a mother world, and a seed.

The so-called main core, super core, mother world, and seed of the Singer civilization refer to:

The super core is equivalent to the most advanced intelligent processing device of the super collective of the Singer Civilization.

To put it bluntly, it is a super intelligence that may be like Ita.

The individuals of the Singer civilization who live here, or who master the "super core", are no different from the supreme commanders of the entire civilization.

The second is the mother world, which has been mentioned before.

This is the political, cultural and economic center of the Singer civilization, and can be understood as their capital.

Of course, it can also be a planet, or an area where other forms of life can survive. The individuals living here are basically the top and most valuable talents in the Singer civilization.

However, the so-called mother world also plays another important role, which is to continuously breed more new forces for the singer civilization as a whole.

The excellent ones will be kept in the mother world, while the inferior ones will be thrown out and become the final seeds.

Seed is the cleaner singer, the navigation unit where it works and can be roughly regarded as a spaceship.

Of course, there is also the elder. They are all the seeds of the singer civilization.

The reason why it is called a seed is probably because it bears the responsibility of preserving, inheriting and spreading the civilization of the mother world.

The authority of the elders will be much higher than that of the singers, and it is very likely that only the elders themselves have these responsibilities, and the cleaners' singers themselves are actually just the sprouts of the elders' seeds.

The above information was obtained from Zhang Hengdu the singer and the elder.

The so-called 0.01 stellar time is actually just a few minutes of Earth time.

Due to the differences between the planets, the time it takes for each planet to rotate once is naturally different. Some are like the Earth, even rotating once in about 24 hours, just like the Earth.

Some planets rotate much shorter or longer than the Earth.

Therefore, an average value was taken in the universal language of the universe as the so-called "sidereal time".

This average is also the average rotation time of most life-bearing planets in the universe.

So, in total, 0.01 star time is equivalent to just a few minutes of Earth time.

"I am the governor of the spaceship TX0001..."

This unique captive from a marginal civilization also responded quickly after Zhang Heng finished his questioning.

However, its answer was somewhat beyond Zhang Heng's expectations.

It has no name, only a so-called number.

In other words, in marginal civilizations, each individual's number is his or her own name.

These numbers are determined according to their social status and positions within the civilization.

For example, it is the Archon of the TX spacecraft, it is TX0001.

The TX spacecraft, there is no doubt that it is the one that was deformed by Cheng Xin's human civilization.

The TX0001 also symbolizes its supreme status on this spacecraft. The ones with a slightly lower status will use TX0002, and so on, until all the thousands of individuals on the TX spacecraft are counted.

"anything else?"

"I wonder if you have ever had the experience of being a defeated person, or a prisoner of war?"

"But I guess, as a defeated and prisoner of war, you should know what I want to do, right?"

Seeing that TX0001 stopped talking after introducing the situation of the spacecraft, Zhang Heng couldn't help but urge him.

He wanted to know more than that, he wanted to know more detailed information about the mother world of the marginal civilization.

Even though we know the results, it is very likely that, just like the Singer civilization, individuals outside cannot clearly understand the situation in the mother world.

But Zhang Heng still didn't give up.

However, he had no choice but to give up. The next answer from TX0001 was really like this: "We all come from the Mother World, but the information about the Mother World was cleared the moment we left."

"The only way we can pass information to the Mother World is to wait for the Mother World to contact us. Otherwise, we will not be able to contact the Mother World at all..."

At this point, TX0001 seemed to feel that it was a bit unfair that his home world had done such a thing.

It's a pity that these individuals who are fighting for their mother world outside can't even ask for support when they encounter a crisis!
If they had been able to efficiently contact the mother world before, they would not have been entangled with the singer's world for so long.

With their technological strength, they are confident that they will definitely be better than the singer world.

Also, in the battle with the unidentified civilization war planet not long ago, if they could contact the mother world, they could delay the opponent by stalling time and wait for the support of the mother world. They would not have to expose themselves and be captured by the opponent.

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Heng fell silent for a moment.

They are all worse than the other!
As for the singer and the elder, he could barely get a glimpse of the social structure of the singer's world through these two.

But the captives of the marginal civilization can only know the situation on their spaceship.

It is no wonder that the marginal civilization is stronger than the singer civilization. It is true that the marginal civilization is more weak.

However, if he couldn't ask about the situation in the marginal world, Zhang Heng could still ask about other things.

For example, in addition to this TX spacecraft, does TX0001 know about the existence of other numbered spacecraft?

Since these individuals from the marginal civilizations outside are all connected through active contact from their mother world, then as long as he captures more captives from the marginal civilizations outside, doesn't it mean that the chances of their mother world actively contacting him will be greater?
That’s right, Zhang Heng thought so. He would capture all the other spaceships like the TX scattered throughout the universe. As long as one of them took the initiative to contact their mother world, it would mean that Zhang Heng had gained contact with their mother world.

By then, won’t there be a lot of room for operation?

"How many beings like you are there in your home world, and where are they?"

"Also, what are your missions?"

Zhang Heng started asking questions again.

However, this time TX0001 seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to answer this question.

However, it seemed to know what level of existence it was facing and what space it was in.

Resistance is useless...

So, instead of resisting in vain, it is better to make yourself comfortable.

"A lot. I'm not sure exactly how many there are..."

"As for where they are, I only know part of them. They are basically in the Milky Way."

TX0001 replied.

This was the only answer it could give. It really had no idea how many beings like itself there were.

"In addition to delivering development resources to the main civilization, our main mission before the four-dimensional universe exists is to deploy dimensional fall weapons in the universe as much as possible, just like other civilizations..."
