Luo Yuan looked at the experience and was in a good mood. The upgrade experience has reached: 197520/307200. As long as he completes three or four more tasks, he can advance to another level. It's a pity that the "Water Lizard", that is, the giant beast in the water, was not killed perfectly, so he only got basic experience. Otherwise, the experience would be 19,200 points more.
However, this task was basically picked up for free. It didn't cost him much effort at all, so he didn't care at all.
At this time, the water surface that had just calmed down below began to surge again. The water waves were surging and boiling endlessly. Schools of fish, large and small, gathered here like a tide. Each fish looked ferocious and ferocious. Looking from top to bottom, the whole The water in the lake seemed to be dyed ink.
The golden giant bird was extremely mysterious, especially the three tail feathers that glowed with blue light, which impressed Luo Yuan deeply. Luo Yuan originally thought about fishing up the half tail feathers floating on the lake to identify them to see if they were useful. But seeing this scene, he immediately made a wise choice to give up.
Whether in the air or in the water, his mobility is greatly reduced. He is simply the best target. If you are not careful, you may be in danger. In this wilderness, there are many such magical materials, but you only have one life. , unless forced, he would not want to risk his life.
…
Luo Yuan waved to the mutant hiding in the trees not far away.
The mutant hesitated for a moment, and after a long time, he hunched over and crawled toward her with a wary look on his face.
Luo Yuan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. If it really wants to harm you, it will be useless no matter how vigilant you are.
"Sit!" Luo Yuan said while demonstrating the posture.
She blinked, but not only did she not react at all, but she took a few steps back vigilantly.
Luo Yuan thought she didn't understand, so he patiently demonstrated several times.
The mutant looked hesitant. After a while, she finally slowly imitated Luo Yuan and sat on the branch. She did not sit firmly, her buttocks were weakly pressed against the branch, and her whole body was tense. She only did it for a few seconds. , and looked around frequently, looking nervous.
Luo Yuan glanced at her and immediately understood that mutants have lived in the wilderness for too long, and it has long been her instinct to be constantly alert to danger. And this kind of human relaxed posture, in front of her, When facing danger, whether she chooses to fight or flee, she will slow down a beat, which obviously makes her extremely insecure.
Luo Yuan no longer pressed, he opened his backpack and threw a bottle of water over.
The mutant quickly took it, and at the same time, she changed her sitting position into a squatting one. She glanced at Luo Yuan and saw that he did not continue to correct her. She seemed relieved and her whole body relaxed.
Luo Yuan didn't bother to care about her. He took out the map from his bag and carefully studied the next journey and the sea route by then.
Compared with the land route, you can walk at will as long as you finally reach your destination, but the sea route cannot tolerate any mistakes. The sea is not only wide, but also has no reference points.
He must strictly follow the planned direction to avoid missing the pre-planned islands on the way that can accommodate short rests and supplies.
The mutant looked at the bottle. She had seen Luo Yuan's movements and had some experience. This time she did not bite the plastic bottle directly, but tried to twist the bottle cap and found that it could be rotated. Her expression suddenly changed. Excited, she quickly turned it a few times, and after a while, the bottle cap was opened.
She shook the plastic bottle gently, followed Luo Yuan's example, opened her mouth, raised the plastic bottle, started pouring it, and drank the bottle of water in one breath.
Then she glanced at Luo Yuan secretly, and seeing that he wasn't paying attention, she secretly hid the plastic bottle behind her back.
It's a pity that nothing can hide from Luo Yuan's perception. Seeing this, he felt speechless and worried about the mutant's IQ. He thought to himself that even if you wanted to hide, there is no place to hide. When the time comes, you will have a bottle in your hand, who will It’s not immediately clear after taking it.
Of course, he wouldn't mind a plastic bottle either.
…
After a short rest, the two hit the road again. An hour later, the water began to fade away. After climbing over a mountain near the lake, the road turned into a jungle that Luo Yuan was familiar with.
My heart, which had been tense, finally relaxed a little.
As a land creature, such a bad environment makes him feel safe!
Guizhou is very mountainous, with high mountains and deep valleys everywhere, steep ridges, and some peaks shrouded in smog all year round.
Even before the end of the world, these places were extremely rare to be visited by people. In addition, due to the karst landform, there were many caves and sinkholes here, but Luo Yuan had no interest in exploring and passed by in a hurry.
On the way, he suddenly felt dizzy, and then a sense of fatigue arose in his heart.
His physical constitution is as high as seventeen points, and with the bonus of the pulse of the earth, as long as he stands on the ground, his physical strength is endless. His comprehensive physical constitution is as high as a terrifying 23 points. Ever since he came out of the reconstruction area, he has been running all the way, and he has never been so weak. when.
He immediately realized something was wrong and quickly stopped and checked the system.
Just by looking at it, his expression changed slightly. Unknowingly, the "four-dimensional brain" had jumped to 2%.
"Four-dimensional brain"
"4D depth: 2%
"Effects: 1: Prediction for 2 seconds; 2: Four-dimensional visual sense;"
"Evaluation: The four-dimensional world is colorful, but mortals cannot look directly at it because they only have a rudimentary brain. You who have started the road to four-dimensionalization are destined to be extraordinary."
Seeing that it was a four-dimensional brain, he was slightly relieved and had some expectations. When he came out this time, precognition showed a huge effect. The effect was exactly like infinite loading in the game, which benefited him a lot. He had several dangerous risks. Whether he was dead or alive, he always relied on foresight to avoid danger, and finally killed powerful enemies.
But what exactly is this four-dimensional visual sense
Literally understood, it should be related to four-dimensional vision, could it be analyzing the four-dimensional world!
The four-dimensional vision has been of no use other than flooding his brain with a lot of junk information and slowing down his thinking. There was a time when he was worried and under great pressure. In order to alleviate the impact of this information from the four-dimensional, he had to Try every possible means to find the heart of wisdom to improve your intelligence.
Even now, thinking vision is still the biggest hidden danger in his heart, and it may explode at any time.
Through the bandage on his forehead, Luo Yuan vaguely seemed to "see" some incredible sight, but because of the bandage, it was blurry and unclear.
His heart moved slightly, but before that, he had to find a safe place.
Not long after, he found a place to stay for the night under a cliff.
There are caves everywhere on this cliff, one after another, densely packed. A narrow stone path covered by woods and vegetation connects these caves. When Luo Yuan first saw it, he thought he had discovered the residence of an intelligent race, but he did not find it until he got inside. , this is a human relic.
Looking at the enamel dishes inside that have not rotted away after several years, it is obvious that humans lived here before.
There are many ethnic minorities in Guizhou. Some tribes live in high mountains, with inconvenient transportation and isolation. It is difficult for secular civilization to influence here. Some tribes are even in primitive matrilineal societies. The cave group discovered by Luo Yuan is obviously one of them. one place.
Nowadays, all the people here are probably dead, leaving only caves that still exist.
After ten minutes, Luo Yuan checked the safety hazards here, and began to take off the straps regardless of the mutant being nearby.
In an instant, Luo Yuan's eyes became misty, exuding a strange look.
"It turns out this is the four-dimensional world!"
A brand new world unfolded before his eyes, and he stood up unconsciously. At the same time, an aura of detachment and independence spread from him.
Astronomical numbers of information from the four dimensions flashed through his mind, and he had a feeling of enlightenment. The essence of the world was unveiled in front of him. What was magical was that, with the opening of the four-dimensional visual senses, this information did not have any impact on him. The slightest blockage in his brain.
"It turns out that my previous guesses about the four dimensions were wrong. This is the real four-dimensional world. It turns out that we all live in a four-dimensional space." He sighed, with a kind of enlightenment in his heart.
Originally, in his understanding, three dimensions can look down on two dimensions. If two-dimensional life really exists, then two-dimensional life has no secrets from three-dimensional life. When you see its skin, you can also see its heart. of brain.
Any thing, no matter how secret it is hidden in two dimensions, will be clearly visible to three-dimensional creatures even if it is buried underground or swallowed in the mouth.
Then according to the same logical inference, four-dimensional vision should also be able to look down on three dimensions.
However, Luo Yuan discovered that this logic was indeed correct, and in fact it was true. However, due to the different definitions of the concept of dimension, four-dimensional vision did not have the effect as imagined.
Just as there is no absolute two-dimensional life in the three-dimensional world, Luo Yuan discovered that there is no absolute three-dimensional life in the four-dimensional world. In a sense, not only the soil and rocks of the earth, but also people are also four-dimensional, but that The fourth dimension is pitifully short and almost negligible.
However, it is this pitiful short dimension that makes it impossible for him to look down on the three dimensions just like the three dimensions look down on the two dimensions.
Points are zero-dimensional, lines are one-dimensional, and surfaces are two-dimensional. Three-dimensional space is the environment in which human beings live, and it is the three-dimensional space we are familiar with. And the fourth dimension adds another dimension. Before there is no "four-dimensional visual sense", the fourth dimension can only be speculated out of thin air. All he can see are masses of changing colors. It is not until this moment that the fourth dimension appears in his eyes. come out.
Luo Yuan discovered that this was not time as commonly understood by humans, nor was it some strange and unpredictable existence, but the degree of space warp.
Just like the twisting of a two-dimensional plane to form a three-dimensional mountain and valley, a slender two-dimensional paper strip is twisted 180 degrees and bonded at both ends to form a three-dimensional Moebius strip, and the distortion of three-dimensional space can also form a four-dimensional Klein. bottle.
The warp of space is the fourth dimension added to the four-dimensional world.
But everything has gravity, and gravity causes space distortion. Therefore, in the three-dimensional world, people also have extremely weak space warp. There are no strict boundaries between the four and three dimensions. The difference lies in the size of the space warp and the existence of the four-dimensional sense tube. .
Then, Luo Yuan thought of Xu Zhiqiang, a pseudo-fourth-dimensional life.
His previous guess was also wrong. After possessing the "thinking and visual senses", the mystery of the four-dimensional world has been unveiled to him, and he is no longer confused as before.
He realized that Xu Zhiqiang's transformation did not really turn him into a giant. Regardless of whether he transformed or not, in terms of three-dimensional length, width and height, he would always be his original height.
He becomes only a space warp, the fourth dimension. When he activates his ability, the space on his body twists and shrinks, causing his fourth dimension to grow extremely, and there is a phenomenon of dimensionality expansion.
While the space on his body was distorted and contracted, the space around him was elongated and expanded, thus creating the illusion that his size was rapidly growing in human eyes.
Of course, because human vision is still three-dimensional, what can be seen is only a corner of the four-dimensional space. After the transformation, a large part of Xu Zhiqiang is not in the sight of ordinary people and lies in an unobservable space.
However, this part is not length, width, and height in the usual sense, and naturally it cannot be described by size. At least in terms of three dimensions, the body shape has not changed from beginning to end. What has changed is only the fourth dimension, the degree of spatial warp.
Luo Yuan walked out of the cave and looked at the sky, suddenly shocked. In his eyes, the universe seemed countless times wider.
At this time, the sun has not completely set. From the four-dimensional perspective, the sun is "larger" than in the three-dimensional world. Stars, black holes, such celestial bodies with high gravity not only span the three-dimensional world, but also appear in the four-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds. Celestial bodies are more like projections. Perhaps the real universe is not three-dimensional, but four-dimensional.
It’s just that humans can’t perceive or measure it. All they can do is mathematical reasoning.
In this vast and boundless space, there are not only stars and matter, but also endless energy, such as smoke and dust, such as nebulae, with various colors of light and shadow changing, stirring and rolling in the space.
A sudden realization occurred in Luo Yuan's heart. Perhaps this is dark energy that the scientific community has not yet truly recognized. This energy accounts for most of the mass of the universe.
In his four-dimensional vision, space has no secrets anymore.
He found that in this state, he could see farther, his sight could "go around" mountains, "go around" the curvature of the earth, and "see" thousands of kilometers away, but his sight was extremely blurry. , only the rough terrain can be seen.
ps: I have been thinking about this chapter for a long time, and I don’t know if this fourth dimension is original. If you have different opinions, let’s just leave it at that.
