Chapter 350 The Great Dimensional Reduction of the Universe

Blue: "With the first civilization using a dimensional reduction weapon, the eternal beauty was shattered, and the nightmare of the universe began."

Lan: "In the early high-dimensional universe, due to the exponential expansion of the speed of light, when the war between the eleven-dimensional universe and the ten-dimensional universe was reached, the various civilizations did not feel much difference. However, once the war started, it became faster and faster, like a rolling stone ball that could no longer be stopped."

Lan: "As the speed of light continues to decrease, the speed of thought of all life forms is also decreasing along with the speed of light. Some people have realized the horror of continuing like this, but at this point the universe has completely lost its temper and can no longer stop it."

Lan: "Ten-dimensional universe, nine-dimensional universe, eight-dimensional universe, seven-dimensional universe. We managed to survive a brief period of happiness in each, but soon, the universe became suffocating."

Lan: "After the speed of light decreases, the five-dimensional universe and the four-dimensional universe actually disappear the fastest. During the stage of these two universes, the Dark Forest War was the most intense. Almost immediately after the sixth dimension dropped to the fifth dimension, a civilization used large-scale dimensional reduction weapons, and the universe quickly dropped to the fourth dimension. After entering the fourth dimension, dimensional reduction weapons were used on a large scale again, causing the universe to quickly enter the third dimension."

Lan: "The current three-dimensional universe is nothing but the remnants of the war, and the most insane era has passed. Most civilizations in the universe now try to minimize or avoid using two-dimensional weapons, since all civilizations have realized that life in a two-dimensional universe is indeed more difficult."

Lan: "Furthermore, the speed of light in the three-dimensional universe is already pitifully low, reduced to 30 kilometers per second... Can you imagine how slow that is?"

Luo Qing said awkwardly, "Actually, I think it's pretty fast."

blue:"……"

Lan: "You're spineless."

Lan: "In short, the speed of light in the three-dimensional universe has become extremely low, and the universe has been reduced from eleven dimensions to three dimensions. Although its space has shrunk drastically in terms of spatial dimensions, it has expanded rapidly in terms of spatial breadth."

Lan: "The current three-dimensional universe is the fattest it has ever been. It is precisely this enormous size, coupled with the low speed of light of 30 kilometers per second, that has delayed the two-dimensionalization of the three-dimensional universe. I am not clear about the progress of the two-dimensionalization of the entire universe, but I know that the progress of the two-dimensionalization of the Milky Way has reached 1.472%, which is a very frightening number. We are laying dead lines in all areas where two-dimensionalization is spreading to block the spread of two-dimensionalization at the speed of light."

Blue: "But the dead line will spread. It will slowly spread into slow fog. Slow fog cannot stop the two-dimensionalization, it can only slow down the speed. The carbon-based federation can only repeatedly lay dead lines... But dead lines cannot be laid in the original dead line area, or even in the slow fog. We must find a new, clean space that has not been ironed by the expulsion engine."

The cycle repeats endlessly, with more and more dead lines occupying what should be a healthy space. Both dead lines and slow fog are essentially disrupting the structure of the universe and slowing down the speed of light, only less harmful than two-dimensional foils.

Blue: "A bomb is about to explode, and we keep shooting ourselves with pistols to slow down the explosion. This is the most apt metaphor for using a dead-line to block a two-dimensional foil."

After hearing this, Luo Qing immediately felt that the universe was about to end.

In this situation, the Carbon-Based Federation can still exhibit a healthy mindset, even showing a strong desire to elevate all civilizations to god-like status. This mindset of universal ascension is truly admirable.

Luo Qing asked, "The Milky Way is currently at 1.472% of its two-dimensionalization. What about the progress of the universe's two-dimensionalization?"

Lan shook his head: "This is not an answer that the Carbon-Based Federation can know, but if you can find a Risk Remover in the future, the Risk Remover should be able to give you an accurate answer. I remember that one of the Risk Removers is dedicated to finding a way to restore the dimensions of the universe."

It is resistant to vacuum decay, dead lines, and two-dimensionality.

The risk-taker community is truly full of talented people.

Luo Qing asked curiously, "Once the spatial dimension is reduced, can it not be restored?"

Blue's intelligent field suddenly turned gray: "Technology can create higher-dimensional spaces and maintain their existence by inputting a large amount of energy, but this behavior is essentially a temporary solution, because the total amount of matter in the universe is finite, and the available energy is also finite."

Lan: "So, humanity's inference about the Big Bang is completely correct. There may be an error of 100 million years in terms of time... but on the scale of the universe, 100 million years is really not a big error."

Lan: "In short, the total time of all these universes combined is probably not much more than 132 billion years, so the human theory of the Big Bang is basically correct."

Luo Qing asked one last question: "Is the main reason for the dimensional reduction of the universe due to civilization? Is this judgment correct?"

The commander of the carbon-based federation gave Luo Qing a more definitive answer.

"Civilization is innocent; the Dark Forest Theory is the culprit behind the destruction of the universe."

Lan said meaningfully, "The Ocean of Light was formed during the four-dimensional universe era. Before that, many god-level civilizations also experienced the Dark Forest attack."

"Take Xiaoqing back to Earth," the commander of the Carbon-Based Federation said, having regained his composure. He glanced at Xiaoqing and said with some reluctance.

When Xiao Qing was first formed, she did indeed look like an adult Qing. However, Xiao Qing could freely control the state of the particles that made her up. Due to her own mindset, she voluntarily returned to the form of a child.

Xiao Qing clearly wanted to go back to Earth with Luo Qing.

But Luo Qing was right; Luo Qing's relationship with a banana was closer than his relationship with Xiao Qing.

At least bananas are made up of particles from Earth, while they are pure creations from 2.7 light-years away.

And if he takes Xiao Qing in, what will E Qing think when he comes back?
With Qing's temper, wouldn't he cause a huge scene?
Luo Qing stroked his white beard, weighing the pros and cons.

While 27,000 light-years is a long distance, it's not insurmountable, depending on the Carbon-Based Federation Commander's intentions. There's a high probability that the four-dimensional fragment will fall back into the vicinity of the solar system, at which point Evil Qing will have to return.

Looking at the light pink intelligent field atop the head of the Carbon-Based Federation Commander, a symbol of reluctance, Luo Qing gave his answer.

"I don't want it. You can take what you generate yourself."

After Luo Qing finished speaking, afraid of hearing the child cry, she immediately used an invisibility spell and disappeared.

...

Twelve hours later, the carbon-based Federation warship instantly transitioned from zero speed to light speed, leaving the solar system and heading towards the next star system 6.2 light-years away without disturbing any planetary orbits.

The starless isolation zone is expected to be completed within 100 Earth years. After that, the carbon-based federation's 100 million galactic-class warships will return to the second spiral arm for maintenance.

Of course, before this, the Carbon-Based Federation left a white hole near the sun. This white hole is compensation for humanity's support of the God civilization. Currently, this white hole is placed in the Oort Cloud.

Humans can obtain enormous resources through this white hole, but of course, human civilization is still a long way from the stage of utilizing this white hole.

It gives the impression of putting a bucket of sugar in the ants' water.

To prevent the precious white hole from attracting the attention of the advanced civilization native to the First Spiral Arm, the commander of the Carbon-Based Federation thoughtfully shielded the white hole from light, making it appear entirely like a small asteroid.

The Trisolaran leader was also sent back to the Trisolaran system. Because a large amount of energy was consumed, the commander of the Carbon-based Federation was very dissatisfied with the Trisolaran leader's attitude.

The Three-Body leader remained kneeling and refused to rise.

Li Bai and the Risk Remover remained here. The Risk Remover sensor planned to stay on Earth for a long time. It would not get involved in the war between Earth's civilization and other civilizations. It originally planned to go to another star system with a civilization 100 light-years away, but that star system had been covered by the carbon-based federation with a dark domain, which naturally eliminated the risk.

Now it has been brought to Earth by Li Bai. Anyway, it's just a sensor, so it doesn't matter where it stays. As long as there is no risk to other civilizations, it doesn't mind watching hundreds of millions of sunrises on Earth.

It's just a square, black sensor.

As for Li Bai...

"Teach me how to draw talismans!"

Li Bai kicked open the gate of the courtyard of the wall-facers.

Luo Qing picked up a water droplet and threw it at Li Bai, sending him flying.

"Let's wait until the ice cube effect dissipates first, I'm busy!" Luo Qing said, with a few water droplets he had broken by hand at his feet.

The Ice Cube effect will be completely resolved in a week. Before that, the few remaining free-moving life forms on Earth will have to seriously consider their future path.
