Sandora and I returned safely, perfectly completing our mission of rescuing the data vault. Along the way, we might have also come into contact with a secret that was neither too big nor too small, just enough to make people break out in cold sweat. This made our mission a great victory worthy of celebration. It was as if we had returned triumphantly.
Even now, I still felt all sorts of discomfort all over my body, and I wondered if it was really because I ate something bad …
Before we even came out, Tawil had already made preparations outside. The entire disassembly space was separated from the research center and pushed to the edge of the Shadow Dimension. The moment Sandora, Lin, and I safely escaped, she activated the disassembly process. The Deep Submersible Ship wreckage that was about to explode was pushed into the void along with the disassembly space. In a thousandth of a second, it had completely disappeared from the prime material world.
The follow-up tracking data showed that the wreckage had exploded twelve minutes after entering the void. The powerful energy blast had caused several tracking probes to burn, and the 'echo' produced by the information storm reverberated in the void for a full sixty minutes before slowly subsiding.
In many ways, the Deep Submersible Ship was a product of the Old Empire's cutting-edge technology. Its astonishing energy system and information capacity would be an unsolvable mystery to us for a very long time to come. It was truly a pity that such a precious thing had self-destructed just like that.
Tawil's mood was very gloomy. If there was anyone who was saddened by the loss of the Deep Submersible Ship, it would have to be this bespectacled girl who was about to marry a lab assistant. She had been dealing with the Deep Submersible Ship wreckage for more than half a month, and all her research was on the verge of a breakthrough. Perhaps if she was given a few more days, she would have a whole bunch of research results. However, all of that had gone up in smoke following the fatal accident of the Deep Submersible Ship. Even the Shiring Apostles could not accept such a huge blow. I expressed my understanding, but there was nothing I could do to console her. Perhaps the only thing that could reassure Tawil was that the data vault had been preserved, so at least part of the research on the Deep Submersible Ship could still be carried out.
After being anxious for most of the day, everyone took a short break in the research center. Colleen had made a contribution today. Even though Elson had ridiculed the Dragon God girl, saying that her only contribution today was selling her muscles for half a day, Colleen still appeared to be very happy. Even when she raised her head to look at others for a moment, her voice was a little louder than usual. One must know that Colleen was usually the standard receptionist, never daring to speak louder than ten decibels to anyone. Raising her head to look at others for even a moment was enough to kill this coward. But now, with a face full of smiles, she took the initiative to greet others. Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little touched. Just look at how badly this child is usually bullied …
"Colleen, you're going to be useful this time, right?"
The Dragon God girl seemed to have had enough of showing off to her companions. In the end, she was sent away by Monina, who couldn't take it anymore. She simply lay in front of me and Sandora and said in a soft and proud tone, "I can also complete a mission."
"Speaking of which, you've never completed a mission before?"
I raised my eyebrows and looked at this slightly stupid Dragon God girl.
"Occasionally, I mess things up," Colleen scratched her head in embarrassment, as though she was afraid that someone would blame her, so she hurriedly apologized. "I know that I'm a little stupid, but I'm also doing my best. Actually, I'm just strong. If it's just physical work, I'm really amazing!"
I couldn't quite agree with this statement. Strength might be an advantage, but this fellow's strength had clearly exceeded the limits of a 'advantage'. During the days when she stayed at my house to freeload for food, I even thought that the only use of this brute strength girl's strength was to stimulate the domestic demand of the market and stimulate the development of the industry. With a monstrously strong girl at home, do you know how many electrical appliances we changed every month?
Of course, this time, Colleen's performance wasn't bad. She did indeed complete the mission excellently, but I felt that the main reason was that the energy bolt was sufficiently sturdy. If it was a slightly lower quality item for Colleen to work on for an hour, then we wouldn't be celebrating right now. Instead, we would be gathering in a circle to criticize this stupid Dragon God.
"By the way, that database thing, how exactly should I take it out?"
After chatting for a while with a certain Dragon God girl who was overjoyed that she finally succeeded, I turned to look at Tawil, who was in a bad mood, and brought up the topic that would most likely attract his attention.
Tawil was sitting on a sofa not too far away from me and Sandora. Just now, it took quite a bit of persuasion for her to obediently sit in front of us. At this moment, she immediately bowed and replied, "It's not difficult to take out the database. As long as you enter your Void Form again, you'll be able to sense the 'foreign object' in your own spiritual world. This' foreign object 'is the database."
"Damn, no matter how many times I hear it, I still feel that it's really strange."
I pouted, feeling that Tawil's explanation was filled with strange things. Yep, not only was her explanation strange, I also felt that it was strange in my heart. A database, a strange object the size of a table, was actually hidden in my own spiritual world. In Tawil's words, I had eaten that thing. No matter how I thought about it, I felt that it was really strange. Just where did that thing go on my body?
I began to search my body for it. After a short while, Shallow Shallow asked curiously, "Ah Jun, do you have heat rash?"
I was stunned, while Lin Xue took the opportunity to retort, "He ate a database, so he feels like he's allergic …"
Everyone, "…"
"Cough cough, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about that," Tawil coughed twice with a strange expression. "Due to the information disturbance of the void, the database has been converted into a collection of information after it came into contact with you and is stored in your void state. This state is similar to how Alaya lives in your spiritual world, it doesn't have any influence from the material plane, so you can treat it as if it doesn't exist. As for retrieving the database, it should be done in a few days. Based on the information that I have, it will temporarily disintegrate after being disturbed by the void, then reassemble itself using a mathematical model. This process will take five to seven days — — Theoretically speaking, that's how it should be. "
"When the time comes, tell me what to do first so that I can be mentally prepared," I said.
I thought that there was probably no need to use something like an emetic drug, after all, I didn't really eat that thing. On the other hand, Shallow Shallow was biting her finger as she pondered for a long time. At this moment, she poked my arm. "Ah Jun, why don't I give you a scratch?"
… This lass was already convinced that I had a rash on my body, and she probably wouldn't be able to think of anything else for the time being.
"You just have to re-enter the void state. Leave the rest to me, I will guide it back to the material world."
Sandora hadn't said a word since the beginning, frowning as she pondered. Only now did she lift her head and look at Tawil. "How much do you know about the database? Tell us as simply as possible. "
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
Tawil nodded, stood up, and opened up a huge holographic projection screen in the air. He changed into a lecturing posture, instantly reminding me of my middle school math teacher's demeanor. That pair of glasses really made me look like a teaching director. But then again, if a middle school math teacher had a tenth of Tawil's beauty and figure, I might have been a university student at a key university by now. Yep, it was easy to go off topic when one suddenly relaxed from a high tension.
"The specific source of information is the Crimson Moon Cube." Tawil pointed at a large lump of amorphous geometry on the holographic screen and gently pushed his glasses. "After Matriarch Lin Xue issued a warning, the restoration and analysis of the technology in the Crimson Moon Cube has been suspended, but the data reading has been ongoing. We have obtained a lot of twisted technological information from it, all based on imaginary mathematical models, and then by willfully twisting the laws of nature, we have obtained a lot of twisted technological information. The database that Your Majesties discovered is one of the technological samples that has already taken shape in the real world. Although it has not passed the verification of mass production, as a prototype, according to the records in the Crimson Moon Cube, it has been installed and tested. Now it seems that it was installed on the deep-diving ship.
This is the model of the database recorded in the cube, and it should be very similar to the database you found. As the information shows, it has no physical properties, and naturally, it does not have any mass or hardness. It does not belong to matter, nor does it belong to energy. Other than confirming its existence, it cannot interact with the real world. From the outside, it looks like a crystal with an illusion of silver-white color. In fact, it has no color. The shape of this thing is not fixed, but if you observe it for a long time, there is actually a rule that its shape changes, and that is, it will only change between octahedron and hexahedron. This is the surface characteristic of the Phantom Database.
Then there is the storage principle of this imaginary creation, which is the most fascinating and surprising part: it uses dimensional differences to record data!
Its body was actually located in an "absolute higher dimension" that could only be explained by mathematical models. This "dimension" did not exist in the real world. Only a large amount of specific information and mathematical models could be piled up and described. The database was a small piece of information located in this theoretical dimension. This piece of information could store information, and after reducing the dimension, it could be output to the real world. This description is very abstract. Please wait a moment, I will explain it specifically.
In short, this is a very complicated model. Even though I have read all the information I can find, I only know a little about the principle. But I can be sure that this thing has an unlimited capacity. "
"Unlimited capacity?!" I was shocked. If you were to say that the storage capacity of this thing was astonishing, I wouldn't be surprised even if you said a number that couldn't be expressed by mathematics, because it was still imaginable. But if you said that there was such a thing right now, it was not connected to the internet, had a fixed size, and couldn't be upgraded by itself. It was just a lonely storage device, but it had an unlimited storage capacity. This was unbelievable. An object with an unlimited storage capacity meant that it could record an unlimited amount of information. Then, was it even possible for such a database to be read? How can you retrieve information from it?!
Tawil seemed to have known that I would be so surprised. He just smiled and said, "Yes, unlimited capacity. Although this thing cannot be explained from the laws of the real world, if a perfect mathematical model is used to build it, the concept of 'infinite' is very easy to appear. The technology in the Crimson Moon Cube is like this. They are all built on imaginary perfect models. It is tempting, but all of them are destroying the stability of the existing world. Just like this database, the way it achieves unlimited capacity is through the difference in dimensions. For example, in the world of mathematics, we can regard "point" as the most basic unit. Then a line can contain countless points because the "length" of the point is zero. A surface can contain countless lines because the "width" of the line is zero. A body can contain countless faces because the "thickness" of the face is zero. An individual of a higher dimension can easily record an infinite amount of information in a lower dimension. This is because no matter how much the information is stacked, the "storage space" it occupies is zero.
The difference in dimensions database is such a scientific miracle that can only exist in theory. It is based on a mathematical model, and it is a perfect device that can only exist in theory. It relies on a set of complex formulas to connect to the real world. It determines the current main dimension of the real world, and then through the conversion of the mathematical model, it allows itself to live in a higher dimension. Thus, it has an infinite capacity to store information in the real world. It is like using a plane to record how many lines there are — infinite. The width of infinite lines adds up to zero. "
"I understand why the conventional way can't access the database."
Sandora suddenly exhaled, and a look of realization appeared on her face.
"Things based on mathematical models are definitely incompatible with the real world. The incompatibility of the database is its dimension. It is always at a higher level than the current dimension. In three-dimensional space, it is a four-dimensional object, and in 11-dimensional space, it is a twelve-dimensional object. No matter what method you use to interact with it, as long as you can't grasp the unique reading and writing frequency at the beginning of the database's creation, you will never be able to touch it. Of course, the Void is the only thing that can touch the database regardless of any conditions because the concept of dimensions does not exist in the Void. The moment the database comes into contact with the Void, it will 'solidify' and then disintegrate into the most basic information … If this is not the dangerous technology in the Crimson Moon Cube, it is indeed the safest and most powerful storage device in history."
"But is this possible?" I could barely understand these abstract concepts, but I still couldn't believe the mechanism of the existence of this hyperdimensional database. "Look, no matter how advanced the Empire's technology is, there will always be a limit at a certain time. This means that the dimensions that the scientists could control were also limited. Even if they created a world with twenty dimensions, there would still be twenty-one dimensions as the limit. However, this database can ignore any limits and add one dimension to the current world. Isn't this creating something that can't be created? I mean, isn't this a paradox? "
"That's why it is the technology recorded in the Crimson Moon Cube. It is full of paradoxes," Tawil sighed. "Mathematical models are the only things that are difficult to control to the limit. Things that can't exist in the real world can exist in an imaginary model. This is the terrifying part of the Crimson Moon technology. It makes all paradoxes possible. Using the self-recognition of a closed piece of information, these dangerous technologies can distort the existing rules of the world and create these things that are a huge hidden danger to the stability of the world. According to the verification of my subordinates, although this database has been successfully created and can operate independently without destroying the integrity of the world, it has a huge flaw — it can't create a second one. In theory, that's the case. "
"Huh?" Sandora immediately looked at Tawil. "What's going on?"
I quickly coughed. "Ahem, you don't really intend to copy this thing, do you? It is the technology of the Crimson Moon. "
"Why not?" Sandora shrugged. "The technology in the Crimson Moon Cube was only abandoned because of the disparity between the success rate and the harm to the world. It doesn't mean that there is absolutely no possibility of success. This database has been successfully created, which means that it is in the one percent of feasible technology. Of course, we can't give it up easily."
"But this is not replicable." Tawil shook his head. "An object that is forever beyond the current world's dimension is destined to be unable to be restricted by the current world. In other words, there is an 'overflow' of the database in the current world that cannot be suppressed. This overflow ignores the world barrier. So, if a second database appears at this time, no matter how far away they are, no matter whether they are in the same world or not, there will be a fatal conflict: Whose dimension is higher? In the end, everything will be over. In theory, that's the case. "
After saying so much, this was the easiest sentence for me to understand …
Sandora sighed helplessly. "Well, let's put the matter of the database aside for the time being. This incident is settled. I will leave the follow-up matters to Xi Weisi. Lin Xue, I'll trouble you too. Observe whether the Crimson Moon Cube has any new threats. Every time we come into contact with knowledge related to it, we will encounter trouble. It's better to be careful. "
Lin Xue waved her hand to show that she understood. She muttered, "I can't throw it away or keep it. It's so annoying."
After that, Sandora distributed the aftermath of the incident in detail. Seeing that there was nothing left out, she announced that everyone should go home and find their mothers.
Now that the incident was settled, everyone began to leave the room one after another. It was almost evening now. Big Sis still had to go back and prepare dinner. Lin Xue was also ready to continue freeloading. The whole family disappeared without a trace. Even Sandora left under the temptation of dinner. I really wondered what my family was made of. How could they be so calm after such a huge incident? How did they manage to adjust their mentality from Hollywood to Good Food House in a second?
"Your Majesty, please wait!" Just as I was about to leave, Tawil suddenly called out from behind. I turned my head curiously and saw a very uneasy expression on his face. "Your Majesty Sandora has assigned the aftermath of the incident, but … what should I do?"
