Not Cold [Interstellar] - Chapter 81

What is folding space?

When Hoshalen asked this question, everyone in the command center had the same question.

“Folding space is not the same as a black hole. A black hole is not a two-way channel, but a folding space…”

Lan straightened one arm, and with the other hand, he took out a balloon from the space, and the mouth was facing his arm: “My hand is a straight line. If this is our world, this balloon is a folded space. It has only a one-way entrance and exit, which connects to our universe, but in its derived world there is a huge space for many things.”

Xuan Mian, who didn’t know when he came in, interrupted and said, “Prepare a lot of things, such as what? Bugs?”

Lan: “…Yes.”

Xuan Mian has been infiltrating the universe and space theory for many years, only after hearing a few words from Lan, he quickly followed his thoughts: “If there are too many bugs, will this balloon burst?”

“Yes, if the Zerg keeps reproducing in the folding space, after the Zerg activity rises to a critical point, the folding space will be squeezed. Therefore, the Zerg will do everything possible to open the connection to our world and escape to us before being destroyed. In the universe where you are.” @∞好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

When the expert came, Hoshalun stopped speaking. Xuan Mian looked at the data returned from the front line and asked his own questions at the right time: “It is reasonable to say that as long as you are not lucky enough to win the lottery, these folding spaces should not explode on a large scale in the same time period. Chaos, isn’t it?”

Lan frowned: “It should be related to the death of the insect king… These zergs have ways of communication that we cannot understand. Once the insect king dies, the zergs will know each other soon, and they will pass cruel battles and recommend them. A new insect king is born.”

Zhong Yue, who stood beside him silently and listened for a long time, saw an opportunity in Lan’s description and reaffirmed: “In other words, the Zerg will fight by himself?”

Lan nodded in affirmation.

Zhong Yue thoughtfully said: “Can you tell us more details?”

The alternation of insect kings is a major event among the Zerg races. However, in the past millennium, it has never happened beyond the scope of human monitoring, and it has not been able to leave a word of record.

Humans before, had no channels to know more information, but now Zhong Yue’s army and scientific researchers have opened a new door because of this unique companion.

Lan naturally knows endlessly and began to share information about the Zerg.

After he confessed that he had the Zerg gene identity, he could instead speak freely. He no longer needed to process key information in order to hide his identity and avoid suspicion.

Lan admitted: “The Zergs in the folded space were actually brought out by us from the black hole channel. Some of them were converted into Zergs from relatives and friends that we could not kill at the time, but more, It is a Zerg who has absorbed human genes.”

“When we came here, most of our hands were damaged and our strength was severely damaged. We were unable to eliminate the Zerg who followed from the black hole. We had to shoot anti-hydrogen atoms from the entrance of the black hole to disperse the remaining Zerg into the folding space. .”

Everyone finally understood that the nearly two hundred folding spaces mentioned by Mo Bai were also the reason for their responsibility.

Lan said: “But we have to deal with these zergs sooner or later. Folding space is not a one-time method. It’s just a postponement strategy we used when we had no alternative.”

Zhong Yue asked: “Is it possible for us to add guidance to the side so that these Zergs coming out of the folding space can kill each other, and at the last moment, concentrate firepower to give a fatal blow?”

Lan thought for a while, and honestly said: “In fact, before these folding spaces concentrated on shaking, I personally led a team to deal with a leaked folding space… To be honest. The evolution of these zergs makes me feel terrible. They have very flexible Mobility, I have learned the division of labor and cooperation in groups, have high intelligence, and even have the prototype of language.”

“It’s very difficult to fight against these Zergs. It’s really a nightmare. When these Zergs come out of all the folding spaces, I don’t think we have any way to control their spread.”

Everyone in the command room was lost in thought.

Lan also stared at the barren star outside the cabin in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the wild star was detonated, flames swept every corner of the planet. Now that the fire was extinguished, the surface of the planet was scorched black, with dark red flame patterns spreading along the cracked ground.

“Actually, it’s not totally impossible.” Xuan Mian said suddenly: “You use a balloon as a metaphor for folding space. I think there is a more vivid metaphor. If the existence principle of folding space can be used, will there be a simpler and rude way? …”

When Xuan Mian saw Lan, his smooth reporting suddenly got stuck. In the eyes of everyone’s expectation, he squatted and said: “Uh… this method is flawed. I thought about it again, but it still doesn’t work.”

Zhong Yue also looked at Xuan Mian a little unexpectedly, but Hoshalun didn’t think much about it, and said reproachfully: “Scientist, don’t lose the chain when it’s critical. Knowledge is power. We’re still waiting for you to zoom in.”

Xuan Mian didn’t smile, he frowned, but his eyes never left Lan.

Lan’s reaction was dull. He looked at the barren star that had become a wasteland, and he didn’t know what was thinking in his heart.

Xuan Mian felt something was wrong, but before he wanted to start a new topic, he saw Lan turning around.

Lan slowly said: “At first I was not sure whether this method would work… But when I saw Xuan Mian’s reaction, I felt that my guess in my heart for many years should be on the right track. .”

Xuan Mian was very nervous immediately: “I haven’t said anything yet, what do you know!”

Lan said: “I can use the principle of folding space… directly into the folding space, and eliminate the derived space in reverse.”

Xuan Mian retorted in a panic: “Reverse elimination, it’s easy to say, you can’t do it at all!”

“It’s not difficult.” Lan said with justification and evidence: “We have already mastered the technology of detonating the earth’s core to cause black holes. If we detonate a black hole in every folding space, let this black hole that can blur the boundary between time and space behave on its own. Absorb the folding space…”

Xuan Mian trembled slightly: “This theory has a fatal flaw. The mechanism of the existence of black holes is still a mystery. You can’t ensure that after the black hole is detonated, everything can follow your wishes…”

“This theory is feasible, I have already confirmed it, just now.” Lan’s haggard face showed a small smile: “Xuan Mian, you really don’t lie.”

Watching their reaction, Zhong Yue understood Xuan Mian’s concealment.

He began to hesitate.

To be willing to be willing, to be willing and to be rewarded. With appropriate sacrifices, in exchange for hundreds of billions of human lives, so that human races can continue to multiply in history is a totally understandable choice.

This was the most sensible decision, but when Zhong Yue looked at Lan, his heart stabbed inexplicably, he was unable to implement his proposal.

He rubbed his eyebrows and asked, “Xuanmian, how likely is it to survive this plan?”

Xuan Mian’s whole person is not very good, he said incoherently: “This, this, this, it is impossible to come back alive…”

Lan slowly smiled: “Marshal Zhong, don’t think about grabbing it. This is our task… Only those of us who have been in and out of the black hole have their bodies broken down by the black hole and entered the folding space. Affected by cell reorganization.”

“Only we can enter the folded space, and still be able to maintain a clear mind and operate our bodies to complete this task.”

Zhong Yue thought about it for a long time, and at the last minute, he shook his head and said, “No, Xuan Mian, think about it again, and see if there is any other plan…”

Lan looked at Zhong Yue’s eyes with a warm and intimacy: “But we don’t have so much time, and the Zerg won’t wait for us. None of the other plans are the most efficient and most likely to succeed. “

Zhong Yue frowned tightly, his face pale.

Standing opposite Zhong Yue, Xuan Mian shook his head crazy at him in despair, begging Zhong Yue not to agree to Lan’s plan.

Seeing Xuan Mian’s movements, Lan said in a gentle voice: “Don’t feel pity for us. All of us who came from another timeline, the moment they came out of the black hole, we are doomed to our destiny-gene collapse. , The life span is greatly reduced and becoming a Zerg is the final outcome for all of us.”

“Mo Bai has chosen his own destination, and I am willing to be like him. When I reach the end, I can still make the final contribution to our homeland.”

Lan made a military salute to Zhong Yue and said calmly: “Please give your order, Marshal Zhong.”

After half an hour.

“This is Lan, hello everyone.

Forgive me for having to open this channel forcibly. I am here to call all the surviving “last humans”, let us go to the front together, and solve the hidden dangers that we personally bring to this world-178 folding spaces.

Now I am here and need you.

The Second Army needs you.

Mankind needs you, and our future is also tied to you. “

Ke Wei entered the command center and walked to Zhong Yue’s side.

Zhong Yue asked him in a dumb voice: “Why don’t you sleep more?”

Ke Wei said: “I had a dream.” “What dream?”

Ke Wei closed his eyes and opened them again, still remembering the deep sadness in his dream: “I dreamed that I had lost something particularly important. I woke up from the dream, but I can’t remember it anymore.”

He turned his head to see Lan, and asked Zhong Yue in a low voice: “What is Lan talking about?”

Zhong Yue did not speak.

Lan’s personal terminal is still operating. He uses his channel to release real-time speeches.

“Ten hours ago, His Majesty Mobai died with the Insect King. All the folding spaces have already begun to vibrate.

We must defend our lost homeland before the real end.

We stole the time these years, and now is the time to return it.

I would rather be like a human being and walk the last road with dignity, rather than go for a living and become a Zerg, and then hurt our cherished homes and loved ones before we were alive.

I have to choose for myself, my final destination.

Just like… Your Majesty Zhong Han is fearless, magnanimous and regrettable.

Me, the Second Legion, Lan.

I am here, waiting for your arrival. “
