Since the rock crystal worms have aroused everyone's interest, they need to visit it - it doesn't take much effort anyway. Alex asked Xiaoxiao to inform the Raccoon Star Committee about this discovery, and then apply to explore at a depth of 20,000 meters underground.

action.

"Don't wait to look at me with your big eyes. I won't let the Ichthyosaur dig it down. Now the Ichthyosaur is too fat. A big hole with a diameter of fifty kilometers reaches 20,000 meters underground. Even if a field barrier is used to reinforce the pipe wall

, sooner or later it will also cause geological disasters." Alex pointed to his nose and said: "The rock crystal insects are not big, I can just go down and catch a few and bring them up."

"I'm scared to death, as long as the Ichthyosaurus doesn't go in. My heart almost jumped out of my chest when Da Li said it just now."

Da Li's fish tank head turned sharply and said: "You are lying. I have been monitoring your heartbeat, and it is not overspeeding."

"That's just a metaphor, and don't make cold jokes here." Alex waved his hand and said: "Xiaoxiao, I will go to the fourth dimension before landing to eliminate the microorganisms on my body. No

It will affect the environment of Tanuki. Oh, you don’t need to be so detailed, just say a safe humanoid detector."

"I have told the committee about this application and they are studying it. I...Captain Alex, based on past experience, it is unlikely that they will agree."

"Wait for half an hour, and then I will start descending. Oh, whether they refuse or are prepared to delay by not responding, you just tell them this." Alex pinched his chin, considered it carefully, and then said: "Don't worry.

Don't let them get it wrong. Just say that the Yulong Star people respect their efforts to protect their planet's tradition and environment. We are indeed disturbing. All responses they make to maintain their own traditions, environment and security will not affect the Yulong Star.

Negotiations with Tanuki and all other relationships.”

Converting this sentence into a popular version, it is roughly equivalent to: I know it, just let me go, I don't care.

There was no waiting for half an hour. Twenty-two minutes and thirty-seven seconds later, the Beaver Star Committee sent a message expressing its rejection in a very friendly and respectful tone.

"It's good. The Raccoon people are very principled, so they can have a bright future. Xiaoxiao, send them the information you prepared before. During my absence, Amy will be in charge of commanding the starship." Alex

He walked over and patted the fox on the arm. "Sorry, I don't have the patience to explain everything bit by bit."

"Nothing. From my point of view, this kind of action is actually beneficial to subsequent negotiations. As you said: it saves time."

Alex smiled slightly, then switched dimensions and became an illusory state like a ghost, and then began to sink. He penetrated the floor, penetrated the cabin of the Ichthyosaur, penetrated the gravitational barrier of the Ichthyosaur, and landed on the raccoon star.

Landing and accelerating under the influence of gravity. Without any additional power or shield, a single person performs a planet landing. Another term for this is called a suicide meteor fall.

The ground observation station, orbital transition space station and star port of Beaver Star, and the fleet of self-made creatures have been monitoring the Ichthyosaurus in real time with their eyes wide open. They immediately captured the landing humanoid. Due to the dimensional conversion, they saw

Alex's appearance is unclear, and the human shape can only be vaguely distinguished. All other details have turned into chaotic and fractured layers, floating and broken mosaics, or indistinguishable snowflake noise, just like the electronic system appearing in the image.

It's like there's a malfunction.

"What kind of robot is that? How was it released just now? This kind of thing can penetrate the shield of that starship. Track it and study it immediately!"

Just as various scanning rays approached Alex, he began to accelerate. The principle of the warp engine is to move the space in the forward direction behind him to exceed the speed of light. What Alex did was similar to it,

The only difference is that he operates at the dimensional level. Using the extra dimensions, he uses the same action as floating around, disappearing and reappearing in the direction towards the planet, directly crossing the distance.

In the four-dimensional space, he was just moving normally and always maintained integrity. But in the three-dimensional space, his body was broken, like being cut into many slices by many knives, and these slices were simultaneously stretched out from each other.

Distance. On everyone's monitoring screen, he fell with his head and feet in the position. At this time, the top of his head was still falling at the original speed, but the soles of his feet were already close to the surface of the planet. The body between the head and feet was divided into more than 300 parts.

The slice layers are distributed on the entire motion trajectory in an arrangement of equal distances.

When the soles of Alex's feet hit the ground, all the slices gathered downwards with a snap and reassembled into a complete Alex on the ground.

At this time, at the location where more than a hundred slices had appeared in the atmosphere, a nearly circular shock wave began to spread outward. The air was disturbed, and the chemical clouds changed their condensation state, forming this unique cloud ring. Due to the dimensions

Under the control of Alex, Alex's three-dimensional body basically only "appears" in two dimensions, so this shock wave basically only has two dimensions, and the third dimension is extremely flat, so it is not spherical. From the sky to the ground, it appears at the same time

The air flow rings are connected into a long series, and they unfold almost at the same time, indicating that Alex has extremely high "speed" in the vertical direction.

There are many shock waves, which are obvious, but the power is very small. After spreading for a few dozen meters, they begin to dissipate. At this time, Alex has penetrated into the ground and disappeared from the surveillance camera. Whether it is a raccoon star or a self-made creature, including fish

None of the composite evolved humans in the Dragon had ever seen this way of landing on the ground. Everyone's eyes widened and their mouths opened slightly, trying to figure out what happened.

"He...it...that thing exceeded the speed of light just for a moment, but it did not enter the warp speed! Then, it suddenly stopped again, and there was no gravitational fluctuation when it exited the warp speed. No, its motion process did not produce

Gravitational fluctuations!" The self-contained biological man's monitoring system gave a physically impossible conclusion, subverting everyone's understanding. "The preliminary calculation results are out, the total energy of those shock wave rings is... why is it so low?

It consumes less than any one-hundred-meter run by any self-contained biological person? How could such low energy cause a shock wave?"

The total energy is indeed very small, and is divided into more than 300 parts. However, when they are released outward, they are almost two-dimensional and are compressed to a high degree, so they can still cause shock waves locally. This energy is actually Ai

When Ricks first landed, the kinetic energy was converted from potential energy. When he landed, he was stationary. This was because this part of the kinetic energy was released during the previous layered landing.

The technology that the raccoons and the self-organized people have realized cannot explain the phenomena they see, but they all have a basic understanding of higher dimensions, and those purely theoretical things will come to mind sooner or later. And on the Ichthyosaurus

, since Alex said in advance that he wanted to switch dimensions, everyone started discussing in this direction early.

"Isn't Ike only within a five-meter range? How did he get from outside the atmosphere directly to the ground?"

"How long can the captain stretch himself? Can it span the solar system? If he stretches himself long enough, can he break the event speed limit of time?"

"If his toes are itchy at this time, how quickly does the brain receive this information? Some detection equipment should be installed on him in advance."

"Well, although he didn't say it, some keywords must be added this time to prevent the information from running around on the Internet."

What is it like to move across dimensions? Now we finally have a glimpse of its true appearance. But if you see it, you have seen it, but if you don’t understand it, you still don’t understand it. Everyone’s guesses can only be answered after Erics returns. At this time, Eric

Si is moving underground. Since he is passing through a solid medium, it is inconvenient for him to slice himself in dimensions. Instead, he is "flying" in a ghost-like manner. In this way, the speed cannot be faster, especially the speed of light cannot be exceeded.

Slicing movement requires a clear road. He must at least see the destination and determine the foothold, and then he can plan the direction of travel, use this direction as the dimension when crossing, and then "slice" the body. From the beginning of this operation to

Reaching the goal theoretically does not take up time and does not require so many layers.

But in actual operation, the more layers, the safer it is. Dimensional operations cannot penetrate all obstacles, gravitational barriers, special gravitational fields, and some special space environments will distort dimensional jumps, eject Alex, or

The squeeze caused him to hit the obstacle head-on and die. The action of layering would "consume" time, giving Alex a pause in the three-dimensional space, just like using a guide stick to test the road. Once discovered

If an obstacle is encountered, this obstacle will be used as the new end point, allowing the layering to stop in front of the obstacle, instead of having to forcefully penetrate the obstacle farther away.

In addition, this method of dimensional slicing and layering is not suitable for interstellar travel. Alex needs to see the destination, but the scene he sees is the "past" of the planet, and he has already passed by at the speed of light.

Millions or even hundreds of millions of years. He cannot travel to the past, so if he really has to slice and dice the dimensions, it is impossible to find the correct landing point. However, there is a way to solve this problem. As long as Alex can "see" gravitational waves,

Being able to remember the gravitational relationship of the planet (star map), he can complete his personal interstellar journey by constantly adjusting his direction.

However, this method may still encounter various gravity and space risks, and it is not as convenient as the hyperspace gravity engine.

When he goes underground, without light entering his eyes, Alex can basically not see anything. He can only rely on the vibrations caused by the movement of the earth's crust to understand the surrounding environment like a bat listening to sound waves. When he is in the ghost state, he cannot be in the physical body at will.

When you switch dimensions in the environment, you are not afraid of being trapped, but when you replace matter to create a space for yourself to appear, it is difficult to achieve a 100% conversion rate, so there is a possibility of injury. If a piece of stone fails

If it is removed and the result appears at the heart, it is equivalent to being stabbed at the same location.

"We still have to look for underground holes." Alex continued to descend. Although it is called a ghost state, he is not really a ghost. Instead, he transforms his body into three other dimensions, leaving as little as possible in the original space.

An anchor point. This anchor point can be one or several neutrons, so it can drill through the relatively huge gap inside the matter. The only thing it needs to pay attention to is not to fight against the strong interaction, that is, not to rush into atoms or neutrons recklessly.

Of course, unless he was crazy and took the initiative to do that, he would just go with the flow and he wouldn't be able to hit him at such a low speed.

Feeling that there was a huge space around him, Alex tried to appear. He expanded his domain, quickly transformed dimensions, and replaced the matter around him to leave space. It seemed like there was just a "pop" sound, and he appeared.

, and the surrounding gas quickly gathered towards him to fill the vacuum.

This is an underground lava river, and the high-temperature magma gives it an orange-red color. There is no oxygen for normal breathing here, so Alex closed his mouth and relied on the evolutionary plug-in and metasomes to provide the body with what it needs.

.The same was true for him when he moved between dimensions and ghosts before, and could only rely entirely on himself.

The environmental monitoring function in the evolution plug-in is always running. In addition to reminding Alex that the environment here is dangerous and unsuitable for survival, it will also display the detection data as a process, including air pressure and the field of particle formation.

It can share the pressure for Alex, like an environmental isolation shield, protecting him from harm. But as long as Alex opens a little gap so that the evolution plug-in can detect the pressure, he can calculate his location based on it.

depth.

Combined with the scanning hologram of the planet's geological environment stored in the brain-controlled body, Alex can estimate his general position. In fact, if he can contact the Ichthyosaurus, he can directly obtain a more precise position. Unfortunately, he can't

None of the communication methods that penetrate the earth can pass through the gravitational barrier. In order to avoid lowering the Ichthyosaur's shield, Alex simply does not want to accurately locate the information. The error is only a few hundred meters anyway, and underground magma rivers are formed

The holes can also be used for coordinate correction so that the destination will not be found.

He continued to descend, stopping twice more to reduce the error, and then arrived at the underground world at a depth of 20,000 meters. This is a special formation composed of crystals and minerals, and everywhere is shining red under the light of the lava river.

Various crystal pillars and crystal clusters, which are the trees and shrubs here, grow on the beach formed by rock debris. Rock crystal insects live in this environment. Their appearance is like carrying a snail shell on their back, with long

Turtles with eight arthropod legs and long beetle heads range in size from mice to rhinoceroses. These creatures use the heat of lava rivers as water, feed on light elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen and oxygen in the soil, and use extreme high pressure to do so.

A unique physiological cycle. The crystals here are both exoskeletons and building materials. They are used to expand the living space, control the scale and flow direction of the lava river, and support the mine caves to facilitate the digging of more delicious "rock veins".

Alex came among them, and the surrounding rock crystal insects quickly retreated and continued working after the shaking stopped. They did not show curiosity, but continued their previous work. "This is treating me as a small landslide.

?The sound when I hit the ground was like a falling stone?"

When intelligence reaches a certain level - it does not need to be intelligent - there will be curiosity. Alex was curious. He stamped his feet on the ground, and the rock crystal insects dispersed with a splash and waited for a while before returning.

Route. Alex looked around and picked up a relatively small rock crystal insect. He felt that this creature was very dense and felt very solid when holding it.

After leaving the ground, the rock crystal insect immediately retracts its body, merges its limbs and legs, and assumes a posture to prevent falling impact. Its back is a crystal shell with the ability to break, which has a certain hardness and toughness, but it can also be broken when it exceeds a certain impact force threshold.

The force is dispersed through fragmentation to reduce the impact on the interior. Their legs are like clenched fists under the body, presumably to play a buffering role.
