Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Being a three-dimensional creature, it is almost impossible to cross the barrier of the high-dimensional world.

Just as two-dimensional organisms cannot perceive the existence of a three-dimensional world, if they do not use scientific theory or special technological means, all they can observe is the projection of three-dimensional objects formed on paper by means of table lamps or other light sources, or the series of “strange properties” that arise on that contact surface when both are in contact, or the physical laws that are incomprehensible to two-dimensional organisms.

And all of this is just the result of interference.

Even if they are perceived to exist, it is almost impossible to stand in the position of low-dimensional organisms and reverse this interference in low-dimensional space caused by high-dimensional space.

From this standpoint alone, the presence of debris and Z particles in this four-dimensional space is so similar.

It just has to be more complicated.

It is not some kind of matter that exists in four-dimensional space, but precisely space itself.

Therefore, it is theoretically impossible to cross this barrier.

No physical attack would have any effect on it, not even a million tons of equivalent nuclear bombs would have shaken it to the ground.

This does not mean, however, that there is no alternative to an ark.

The entire interior space of the relic is cut into millions of small pieces by fragments of four-dimensional space, where all channels remain intact in topological terms. As for the changes in position, distortions caused solely by the interference of four-dimensional space debris in three-dimensional space mix these tunnels together as if they were disturbed puzzles.

And the reason he couldn't cross the barrier in front of him was simply because the door wasn't here. This inaccessible space in front of him is like a piece of puzzle, pulled off a complete pattern and thrown in an amazing corner.

Now all he has to do is find the missing piece out of those thousands of puzzles.

And where it originally belongs.

If Ai were here, he could save him a lot of time, but this is Mars underground, and he can only rely on himself.

Fortunately, this is not difficult for the LV10 mathematical grade.

Half an hour has passed.

Finally, I found the missing puzzle, my eyes locked to the ark on the screen, and I finally got a smile on my face.

“… I didn't expect the answer to be just around the corner. ”

The right hand tapped down on the wrist-mounted computer on the left arm and the ark reopened the communication module.

“See you later. ”

Dropping that sentence, he turned around and left the spacious cave, exiting the five-man arch and returning to his original position here.

Without any hesitation, there was already an answer in the heart of the ark, taking a slow step, passing through the dust of the ashes in the opposite direction.

Soon, he arrived next to a cliff that was deeply lost and stopped at the edge of the cliff.

If his assumptions were correct, this should be where the puzzle was picked, and the inaccessible space he had previously seen in the cave belonged here.

And to get in there, you have to go through this door!

Seems to be watching his every move next to him, the voices that disappeared for a long time reappeared and said in a leisurely manner in his ear.

“Are you ready? ”

Preparing to take a step forward, the ark stopped.

“What do you mean? ”

“I mean, if it's too late to go back now. ”

When he heard this, the ark suddenly laughed and said in a joking tone.

“Do you want me to go back like this? ”

“There's nothing I can't do but wait a little longer for me anyway. Nor can those observers leave me idle, always sending the right individuals to me. ”

Ark: “If that doesn't matter, why do you have to persuade me? ”

“Because it's not an easy road, either for you or me. I'm just offering you an alternative, and when you get back, you can live a happy and secure life, and the price doesn't have to be paid by you, and you don't even have a chance to see that far away. ”

There was a seductive tone in that voice.

The Ark admits that this does sound tempting.

He's already at the top of the academic spectrum, and the peak of power that a scholar can reach, that's all. In the decades to come, even if he does nothing, he will be happy to live the rest of his life, and there is no need to put himself at such great risk.

However…

“You're right, but now that you've come to this,” think about it, the Ark continues, "If you go back like this, you'll regret it. ”

“Too much curiosity is not a good thing. ”

The Ark laughed and said, "Really? I'm sure you're not with those observers now. ”

“Oh? Why. ”

Ark: “Because I remember that man saying that curiosity is an equally enviable quality that has been abandoned by them for a long time. ”

“Ha-ha-ha. Whatever. But think about it. Once you've made your choice, you can't go back. ”

“I thought about that before I came here. ”

Speaking quietly, the ark closed its eyes and pondered for a long time, then silently removed the wrist-mounted computer on its left arm and threw it in the open space behind it.

Then he took a deep breath and took the courage of his whole body to leap towards the abyss that seemed to swallow all the light, letting gravity pull it into the endless darkness.

The free fall lasted three or four seconds.

Then, a magical scene happened!

As soon as he was swallowed up by that infinite darkness, the feeling of spinning all over his body crawled through every cell.

It was as if the direction of gravity had been instantly reversed, and a huge inertia grabbed him on the shoulder and then slammed him hard on the solid ground.

“Ah…”

Tears of pain were almost squeezed out, and it felt like the chest had been hit by a truck on a canoe, gasping heavily and climbing from the ground with difficulty.

When he raised his head, he instantly wrote a little ecstasy in his eyes.

The space in front of him at this moment is the cave from which he left earlier, and his place at this moment is the other side of the area - the “wall” - from which he was previously unable to pass.

Restricted the excitement in his heart, the ark took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

“Am I passing all the tests? ”

“Kind of. ”

“What does that mean? ”

This time, the voice gave no answer.

Just as the ark was confused about what to do next, the surrounding space suddenly lit a soft light. A crystal as clear as a soap bubble, just as it appeared in the sky, floated before him.

If you look closely, there's a tiny stripe on that clear film. Those lines are like projections of ruins, corresponding to every tunnel in the ruins.

A little curiosity arose about this phenomenon, and the ark was about to reach out and touch it, but it was stopped by the sound of its ears.

“Don't touch it with your hands! ”

Reaching halfway into the sky, the ark retrieved its hand and stared at the crystalline end of the empty, transparent sphere for a long time, then said.

“Don't touch it with your hands means… should I touch it with something else? ”

“This is the fragment of four-dimensional space, and all the changes in the ruins are caused by it. ”

The moment I heard this, I couldn't help but wonder in the eyes of the ark, "How did you fold the four-dimensional space into such a perfect state? ”

“It's not our technology,” the voice said faintly, "folding debris from four dimensions into a three-dimensional sphere, something that only observers, I'm afraid, can do. ”

Ark: “Is this what the void is going to give me? A piece of four-dimensional space? ”

“No, it's just a key. ”

“Keys? ”

“Yes, it can send you to the treasure. ”
