Chapter 276 What is a dimension?
The Eternal, which has been upgraded three times, has already flown 18 light-years away. The three-person team consisting of Chu Tianshu, Noah, and Bubble continues to move towards the Galactic Center.

Inside the ship,

Two middle-aged single men and a delicate, beautiful young girl are engrossed in a pile of beautifully packaged food.

Bubble looked up, its mouth full of watermelon juice, grabbed two large mangoes and hugged them like a hamster guarding its food, looking at Noah with obvious disgust.
"Are you a pig? You've almost eaten all the snacks Xiling gave me! The rest are mine!"

The sweet, childlike voice made Noah stop wolfing down his food. He glanced at the messy table, scratched his head, and said dejectedly,
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control my appetite, it was just too delicious."

Chu Tianshu casually pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth. If you ignored the box full of food in front of him, you might really think he hadn't eaten.

Bubble puffed out her cheeks, pouted her little mouth, and hummed softly.
"If you like it, just have Xiling bring it over. It's no trouble at all. Why do you always come here to freeload off me?"

Noah and Chu Tianshu exchanged a glance and humorously chose not to continue the conversation, because snacks were something only children ate, and they were already over ninety years old, so how could they have the nerve to ask Sister Xiling for snacks?
Noah, as always, used sweet words to flatter Bubble.

"Eating isn't the goal; the main thing is to have dinner with the clever Bubble, hoping to gain research inspiration through this experience."

This is what it means to talk nonsense and make things up.

But Bubble fell for it and asked curiously,
"So, have you got any inspiration yet?"

Noah pretended to be thinking, but was actually suppressing a laugh.
"Hmm, I might need to eat a little more."

Bubble shook his head decisively.
"Then you shouldn't eat it. Save it for next time to find inspiration."

The three of them showed off at least 30 kilograms of food, including genetically modified fruits, omnivorous foods, special pastries, flaky pastries, dried meat, and so on.

Their rarity is such that they're practically everywhere; in the world of Earth civilization, anyone could have as many as they wanted.

But the snacks Bubbles received were prepared personally by Xiling, which carries a different symbolic meaning.
For Noah and Chu Tianshu, the only time they experienced Xiling's proactive care was when they were children.
Now that's all gone, I can only bask in the glow of the bubbles and eat some of the food that Sister Xiling prepared.

Moreover, in theory, the new humans do not need to eat. The light energy bodies give humans the ability to directly utilize the energy of stars, and the word "eating" has long since shifted from a practical meaning to a cultural one.

It's like a person isn't hungry, but when it's time to eat, they're supposed to be eating.

The cleaning robot has an adorable appearance. Inside its large belly are flexible yet rigid arms that can move freely, making it more agile than a human hand. When cleaning things up, all eight arms work together quickly.

The three sat around the neatly empty table, looking at each other in bewilderment. Bubble rested her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought, muttering to herself.

"I've only been away from Earth for four days. Would it be a bad idea to go back to see Xiling now? Would that man find me annoying?"

Noah simply stared at the little girl with a thoughtful expression, then subtly approached, overhearing Bubble's mutterings and offering his own opinion.
"The leader is always magnanimous and won't look down on you. Go back, it's okay, believe in yourself."

The little girl innocently retorted.
"really?"

Completely oblivious to the amusement in Noah's eyes, he continued,

"Of course it's true. Maybe the leader and Sister Xiling are thinking of you right now."

The voice just fell,

The spaceship's virtual system suddenly activated, and after a series of flashes, Xiling appeared before everyone.

"Hello, Tianshu, Noah, and Paopao."

Bubble immediately perked up and ran in front of the virtual figure, saying,
"Xiling, have you been missing me? We were just discussing this issue a moment ago."

Xiling smiled and reached out to stroke Bubble's forehead.
"It's not just me who misses you; Jiang Fan is waiting for your arrival."

Bubble was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll be right back!"

Xiling's figure said "Waiting for you" and then disappeared. Bubble looked at Noah with an expression that said, "You're a promising student."

"Your analysis is excellent!"

Noah pursed his lips, showing no joy at guessing correctly, and turned to look at Chu Tianshu, asking,

"Brother Tianshu, do you want to go back and take a look?"

Chu Tianshu slowly shook his head.
"No need, you can go back if you want. I'll take care of everything on the Eternal."

Central Building,

After emerging from the insect portal, Bubble found herself in Jiang Fan's office. Xiling was sitting on the sofa preparing tea and snacks, while Jiang Fan sat opposite her with his eyes closed, resting.

The little girl leaped forward, crashing into Xiling's arms from three meters away. Luckily, her current human body was resilient enough, otherwise she would have suffered internal injuries.

"Xiling, what do you want with me?"

Jiang Fan opened his eyes and said,

"There are some issues I'd like to discuss with you."

Bubble asked curiously,
"what is the problem?"

Jiang Fan let out a breath and recounted his organized thoughts one by one.

"Does our universe contain a space that transcends our physical dimensions? Something like the four-dimensional space fragment you discovered, but not broken, but whole."

"If such a space exists, what is its connection to dark energy and dark matter? According to the previously mentioned concept of dimensions, do dark energy and dark matter exist in five-dimensional space?"

What does higher-dimensional space mean for lower-dimensional space? Is it possible to omnipotently control the lower-dimensional world through projection of higher-dimensional space?

"As a third-level civilization, the Monument Civilization has mastered dark matter and the law of conservation of energy. Isn't that enough to analyze the spatial coordinates of the three-dimensional world? Why is the wormhole only a thousand light-years away?"

As Bubble listened, her expression grew serious. She knew the answers to some of these questions, but not others.
"Your question is very insightful, and there are some things I don't know either. I can only tell you what I do know."

Jiang Fan nodded happily.

"Let's treat this as a discussion about the truth of the universe. We can say whatever we want without needing definitive answers. Let's explore our conjectures in the future."

Bubble grunted in agreement, then sat in Xiling's lap and began to chatter on and on.

"First of all, the space that transcends the real world you asked about undoubtedly exists. In your Buddhist terms, 'a flower is a world, a leaf is a speck of dust,' and there are countless microcosms beneath the macrocosm!"

"It's just that civilizations with insufficient technology cannot access or utilize those small spaces."

"The space where the tombs of the monument civilization are located, which you mentioned, is called a fragment of four-dimensional space, which is both right and wrong."

“Dimension is a broad concept. We have discussed this issue before. The universe has ten dimensions, which are nine spatial dimensions and one time dimension.”

"But this description is based on physical scales and is a definition that intelligent life itself has given to the universe. It does not represent absoluteness."
