End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

When Lin Feng asked this question, Long Yi sighed and explained the principle of using wormholes to travel:
"I should have mentioned to you before that the universe is divided into different levels. In addition to the real universe we are currently in, there are actually different levels of deep worlds below the observable universe."

"The first and most obvious one is the quantum virtual world, which is filled with particles from the cosmic turbulence, the most prominent of which is the photon, which carries no mass."

"They are also a typical example of time travel in the universe."

"We all know the theory that the speed of light in the real universe is constant. Even you humans have come to this conclusion through the theory of relativity."

"Because according to the theory of general relativity, the closer the speed is to the speed of light, the greater the mass of the object will be. Energy is equal to mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light. Under the premise that the speed of light is constant, the closer it is to the speed of light, the greater the energy and the greater the mass will be..."

"So it is impossible for a unit with mass to reach the speed of light in the real universe, because the energy required to push it to the speed of light would instantly drain the matter and energy of the entire universe, causing the universe to collapse as a whole..."

"According to existing theories..."

"It's about popping the bubble of the universe, using matter accelerated to the speed of light as a needle to pop the bubble that carries the real universe."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't told you about the different types of realistic universe models."

"In our science classes, we, the Zerg, believed, like you humans, that the universe is an expanding sphere of space, and that the expansion of space is the expansion of energy."

"And light particles can only form in space, so according to the Kepler redshift effect, the expansion speed of the real universe is actually faster than the speed of light. In this way, even objects moving at the speed of light cannot break free from the constraints of this universe..."

"But according to this model, the deep universe we have discovered so far, including the superficial virtual world and the deeper inner world, cannot be explained..."

"Because they belong to the same space as us."

"Take the folded space inside the body of the fourth-level realm king as an example. The two underlying worlds we experienced before and the folded space now actually belong to the same universe, that is, inside the body of the fourth-level realm king."

“So the previous theory of expanding space cannot satisfy the discoveries of other spatial levels.”

"In addition, the energy fluctuations of some massive stars in the universe and the spatial distortion caused by the huge gravity, if it happens inside a sphere, then where is the center of gravity connected to?"

"So when our Zerg race embarked on the stage of space colonization, we encountered various cosmic stellar difficulties, which forced us to update our theories of understanding the universe."

"More than 100 million years ago, a direct descendant of the Progenitor Insect God, the great God of Wisdom, the son of Demigod, the mother of wisdom of the Insect Race, through stealth research and experiments with various space races, finally verified a more advanced theory that is more in line with the operating logic of the real universe..."

"We call it the cosmic bubble theory."

"The general principle is that the real universe we can see is actually a spherical bubble, and we are all on the surface of this bubble."

"At the same time, this bubble is also expanding, which is consistent with the observation data of the real universe."

"Then there's the warping of spacetime by massive stars."

"Because they are so massive, the surface bubble space needs to sink in order to hold them."

"It's like throwing a lead ball into a piece of cloth or a net, and the whole surface will dent."

"This surface is space, and light is a straight line, so at this time, a massive object that distorts space will also distort the light."

"In order to support these massive stars, the surface real universe can only shrink into the bubble, increasing the support area and increasing the support force."

"It's like a ball that originally only has one point of contact with space on a plane, but when it sinks into the space, all the concave spaces become its contact surface, responsible for holding it up."

"And the wormholes and space jumps we are going to talk about are also closely related to the distortion of space caused by massive stars."

After saying so much in one breath, Longyi took a break to give Lin Feng some time to digest it.

After sorting out her thoughts, she slowly opened her mouth and continued:

"Under the cosmic bubble theory, we return to other theories in the theory of relativity, such as the famous length contraction effect and slow clock effect in the special theory of relativity."

“It’s all taken literally.”

"The contraction effect is when an object is infinitely close to the speed of light, from its perspective, all distances are shrinking, just like a word among you humans..."

"It's so close and so far away."

"Take the example of the solar system. It takes about eight and a half minutes for light emitted by the sun to reach the blue planet from the surface of the sun."

"This is the time it takes for light to arrive. Three hundred thousand kilometers multiplied by eight and a half minutes. At such a long distance, from the perspective of observation on the Blue Planet, it really takes more than eight minutes for sunlight to reach the Blue Planet from the distant Sun..."

"But for the first beam of light, the distance it travels from leaving the sun to reaching the blue star is actually getting shorter as you look at it."

"Because if you use the speed of light itself as the coordinate and observe the surrounding environment, you will find that all objects are actually approaching you, forming an accelerated flow area in front of you..."

"And this is closely related to the collapse zone caused by massive stars."

"The speed of light is not far, but where space is distorted, the phenomenon of space flowing at an accelerated speed will occur."

"In fact, it is to compensate for the extra distance that light has to travel due to the distortion of space, so that when they pass through the collapsed area, they will experience spatial acceleration."

"As light travels, photons translate at high speed, forming such a distorted region at the end."

"The world observed by matter accelerated to the speed of light is actually getting closer to it, that is, in terms of space, its size is shrinking."

“It’s called the shrinking effect.”

"If the length contraction effect is the study of space under the speed of light conditions, then the next one..."

"Another effect in special relativity."

"Slow Clock Effect!"

“It’s the study of time!”

"We know that time does not actually exist. It is just a measure used by matter to observe the increase in entropy, like the scale on a ruler."

"In the world of microscopic particles, which is the virtual world in the deep world, time does not actually exist."

"Just like your mother He Yiwen, as a pseudo-fourth-level spiritual limit breaker, after completing her spiritual ascension, her spiritual consciousness turned into a particle stream and entered the virtual world..."

"From now on, time is just a measurement for her. As a composition of a bunch of energy or light particles, she will be everywhere, anywhere in our real universe bubble model, anywhere at any time." "She can see the birth process of the universe, and can also witness the desolate universe after the great extinction."

"In short, she will know everything and be everywhere."

"For us, who are infinitely close to the speed of light, the flow of time will slow down infinitely around us due to the slow clock effect. Only when we stop will we feel that the real universe is consistent with the flow of time in the real world."

"The length contraction effect and the slow clock effect are actually one and the same in a sense."

"After the length contraction effect, because the distance becomes shorter, the slow clock effect will naturally appear. Under the premise that time is moving at the speed of light, it will continue to slow down."

Having said that, Long let out a long sigh and found that Lin Feng's expression was normal, without any incomprehensible frown.

So the conversation changed and we got back to the point:

"We've laid so much groundwork before, so now let's start talking about the theory of traveling through wormholes and space jumps."

"You asked at the beginning whether the Zerg would feel violent fluctuations and the invasion of space turbulence when they made space jumps..."

"Actually, they will, and it's very serious. For example, our Queen Mother Clan originally had more than 2,000 Zerg Queen Mothers at least in the middle stage. But when the Fourth-Class Realm King carried us to the bottom of the solar system..."

"Not only has our strength dropped by more than half, but now it's only less than one-third of what it was originally. Almost all of us are at the early stage of the third level, and we seem to be just starting out."

"Moreover, all the queen mothers have become commanders without troops. The tens of thousands of Zerg troops under their command, which numbered hundreds of thousands, have all become nutrients consumed by the fourth-level realm kings."

"In the end, less than two-thirds of the Zerg Queens survived. Of the 2,000 Zerg Queens, only about 1,300 remained."

"So we have to stay in the ocean of Blue Star for a while before we dare to attack and invade the humans on the Blue Star continent."

"And the wormhole space jump theory is also related to the three benefits I mentioned above."

"The first is the mass increase effect, which determines that all objective cosmic civilizations with mass cannot reach the speed of light, or even reach speed infinitely close to it."

"Because it doesn't have enough mass or energy."

"Anything that wants to approach the speed of light can only start from the special theory of relativity."

"The length contraction effect and the slow clock effect allow us to infinitely compress the distance and time of travel even without reaching the speed of light."

"Although we cannot suddenly create a space with zero distance between us and our destination and advance a distance in a very short time, we can quickly achieve a jump..."

"After all, while compressing the spatial distance, it also shortens the time it takes to move forward, which is equivalent to a double reduction of one plus one."

"And to achieve the space jump I mentioned, we have to connect it to the cosmic bubble model that I went to great lengths to introduce before, because we are on a bubble-shaped membrane. If we want to go from one point to another in the real universe, we don't actually travel in a straight line..."

"It's an extended arc, just like if you walk from one point on the blue planet to the corresponding point on the opposite side of the planet, it's a semicircular journey."

"And the greater the curvature of the arc, the longer the distance you walk will be."

"In order to quickly achieve a straight-line distance between two points, wormhole technology came into being."

"There are many ways to travel through space using this technical principle, but what I am going to talk about now is the most popular one in the universe..."

"And this is also related to the gravitational entrapment of massive stars that I mentioned above."

Hearing this, Lin Feng gradually reacted and suddenly realized:

"So your method of creating a straight line is to use the concave areas of massive stars to pierce the surface membrane of this cosmic bubble from below, and then achieve space jump through the deep world?"

Longyi nodded with satisfaction and was very satisfied with Lin Feng's improvement in intelligence.

In this way, she finally didn't have to talk about the mysterious book alone. No matter how many times she explained it, it would be like talking to a cow.

But Lin Feng only mentioned the principle of transition, and the specific steps need to be supplemented:

"Yes. But it's not perfect yet."

"The first is that, at the point of a massive star, the concave area of ​​the surface real universe is distorted and stretched out of shape, so the thickness of the film that penetrates into the deep world at the center of the concave becomes very small. Only a life with a little understanding of space-related concepts can easily break through the cosmic membrane at the center."

“And then begins the journey to the virtual world of the deep world.”

When mentioning this, Lin Feng frowned slightly, obviously because this matter brought back too many bad memories for him.

And Ling Yi continued:

"But just tearing the gap open isn't enough."

"You need a warship that can withstand space turbulence as a carrier, or a being like the Fourth-Class Realm King who masters the laws of space and can adapt to the space red envelopes of the deep world."

"Secondly, you must have at least one or more pseudo-fourth-order spirit-breaking beings as navigators. Through spiritual power, they can merge into the virtual world particle flow to search for the coordinates that have been marked..."

"This will lead the battleship forward."

"Every time a wormhole space jumps, it will consume the life span of the pilot, as well as the degree of assimilation of the spirit into the virtual world, causing their condition to continue to deteriorate until they achieve complete psychic ascension."

"That's why I told you at the beginning that pseudo-fourth-order existence is very important to a cosmic civilization, especially an advanced civilization in a star system."

"Without them, and the galaxy navigation map with beacons already marked, all life would be lost in the turbulent space of the virtual world, and eventually jump back to the real universe, most likely directly to a deserted place."

"And the last time our Zerg arrived in the solar system, it took a pseudo-fourth-order state of a third-order peak queen mother to help the fourth-order realm king determine the target location."

Lin Feng was shocked when he heard this.

At the same time, I also realized the cruelty of the universe...

At this moment, a group of lizardmen dressed in strange costumes suddenly appeared in front of the colonial mecha they were riding.
