On a three-dimensional membrane in a four-dimensional body.

This is a spherical space with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. Inside, light pillars of various colors are intertwined and intertwined with each other. They are densely packed and countless. These light pillars not only exist here, but also pass through this space, extending to deeper dimensions, like A complex and dense network of blood vessels and nerves controls the operation of the entire four-dimensional body.

This is a four-dimensional battleship powered by the absorbed dark energy, and it is also a powerful weapon for the pan-ancient civilization.

Pan-ancients are very different from humans. They have no skin, and their whole bodies are made of blue exoskeletons. Their lower bodies are like spiders with eight legs, and their upper bodies can only be slightly humanoid, but they are definitely not beautiful. Coupled with a ferocious face that seemed to be wearing a mask, it was like a demon crawling out of hell.

The reason why they look like this is due to the environment of the planet where they were born. They come from the star field near the center of the Milky Way. The harsh environment of space, especially cosmic radiation, is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times stronger than the edge of the Milky Way. , even cosmic storms happen from time to time.

This also means that the place where life was first nurtured was not in the ocean, but in the hollows in the ground, and then gradually spread to the ground. In the process of evolution, some life forms evolved the ability of their bodies to absorb radiation, and some life forms evolved the ability to absorb radiation. exoskeleton.

The one who eventually became the master of the planet was one of the exoskeletons, the Pan-Ancients.

This civilization located near the galactic center has existed for hundreds of millions of years since the beginning of civilized history. Thirty million years ago, in a fierce war that lasted for hundreds of years, it defeated the ancient galactic overlord of the previous generation and stood firm. At the top of the galaxy, and continues to this day.

During this period, this civilization experienced serious civil wars and experienced cosmic-level disasters. The most dangerous one was a black hole in the center of the Milky Way, which caused the destruction of most of the hundreds of stars within the sphere of influence of the Pan-ancient civilization, including the mother star. Although the population was reduced to eleven and civilization declined significantly, it still remained standing, and its position as the pinnacle of the galaxy was unshakable.

With the continuous development of science and technology, they first explored the mystery of the four-dimensional space millions of years ago. The universe also unveiled its final veil and revealed its true face. For the rest of the time, this civilization seemed to have entered In a new world, various physical theories are constantly being improved, and technology begins to explode.

Infinite dark energy eliminated antimatter, space jumping replaced curvature flight, and star gates spread all over the star systems of civilization. In the end, they even continued to cut the four-dimensional space, and finally moved the entire civilization to an independent micro-universe. From then on, civilization was eternal, and then There is no need to worry about various cosmic-level disasters.

Their footprints began to spread to other river systems. During an exploration of extragalactic galaxies, they accidentally caught a glimpse of four-dimensional creatures, which immediately caused a huge sensation.

Exploration in the fourth dimension has led the ancient civilization to believe that the fourth dimension is a world where life is extinct and that only the three-dimensional universe can breed life. However, this discovery has completely overturned this concept. At the same time, I also felt a serious existential crisis.

Theoretically speaking, four-dimensional creatures are one dimension higher than three-dimensional creatures. This is an absolute gap. No matter how powerful the three-dimensional civilization is, it cannot compete with this kind of creature. This means that the pan-ancient civilization faces this kind of creature. , without the slightest resistance.

The micro-universe of the pan-ancient civilization may be able to avoid cosmic-level disasters, but there is nothing we can do in the face of this kind of creature that naturally lives in the fourth dimension.

Under the crisis of survival, the pan-ancient civilization began to invest a huge amount of energy resources in the research of dimensionality. They tried to find a way to ascend the dimension in order to maintain the eternity of civilization.

From matter to energy, from microorganisms to intelligent creatures, Pan-ancient civilization has conducted continuous research for hundreds of thousands of years. For most of this period, research progress has been stagnant and difficult to continue.

The system is the product of some original research. Ten thousand years ago, they sent light quanta to all low-level civilizations within a thousand light-years nearby and collected experimental information.

During the flight, one of the systems accidentally encountered a supernova explosion and was deflected from its orbit. Following the storm of the universe, it finally landed on a civilization in a remote area thousands of years later. .

This immature experiment can be said to be successful, because there are trillions of samples. One of the experimental individuals successfully experienced the phenomenon of dimensionality by chance and completely became a four-dimensional creature. Pan-ancient civilization also collected a large number of incomparable precious experimental data.

But it can also be said to have failed, because in order to collect valuable experimental data and let it grow, a huge hidden danger appeared in the galaxy, and it reaped the consequences, but the Pan-ancient civilization was unable to solve it at all.

Fortunately, this four-dimensional creature has been assimilated by the four-dimensional information sea. It is not good or evil in itself. As long as you don't provoke it, you will be fine.

But in order to avoid further mistakes and turn the Milky Way into a playground for four-dimensional creatures, on the one hand, the Pan-ancient civilization self-destructed all systems and destroyed the surviving experimental samples. At the same time, the experiment was also completely sealed.

Of course, except for one who slipped through the net because of the distance.

On the other hand, with the experimental data of dimensionality enhancement, and under continuous analytical research, the Pan-ancient civilization also began to build four-dimensional warships, trying to monitor the dimensionality enhancement phenomenon of the entire galaxy, eliminate hidden dangers in the bud, and maintain the stability of the galaxy.

The Milky Way is too small for four-dimensional creatures and cannot accommodate two four-dimensional creatures. Pan-ancient civilization does not want to make the same mistake again and again.

Luo Yuan is the first detected individual approaching the fourth dimension in thousands of years.

At this time, in the control center of this super battleship, hundreds of Pan-Ancient people were just staring at the countless data and formulas on the light screen, and everything was quiet.

The flow of time here has been artificially accelerated by tens of thousands of times. With the super computing power of the four-dimensional optical quantum computer, it can perfectly receive all astronomical information from the four dimensions, and to a certain extent, it can be compared to real four-dimensional creatures.

But the war has continued until now, and everyone is vaguely uneasy. This quasi-fourth-dimensional creature is more powerful than they imagined. Compared with the real four-dimensional creature, he seems to have independent wisdom, which is unprecedented.

All in all, this is the second war between the Pan-Ancients in the fourth dimension. The first time was more than a thousand years ago, when they tried to exterminate the real four-dimensional creature they created. Except for the time when it was close to the four-dimensional creature, the real war only lasted In less than a second, it ended with the destruction of the four-dimensional battleship.

Since that time, for a full thousand years, the Pan-ancient people have never provoked the four-dimensional beast again.

The construction of a four-dimensional warship is not easy. Since the original biological dimension-enhancement experiment was completely sealed and the experimental sample data was limited, they are still unable to fully master the dimension-enhancement technology.

Every time a four-dimensional battleship is built, it is a matter of luck. The probability of success is so low and the resources consumed are so huge that even the Pan-Ancient people who stood in the overthrow of civilization cannot afford to consume them. To this day, the four-dimensional battleship There are only three ships in stock.

Without absolute certainty, the Pan-Ancient people really didn't want to take risks with such a battleship that was extremely difficult to build.

Of course, there is also the reason why this four-dimensional behemoth poses less of a threat to pan-ancient civilization.

After all, although the four-dimensional creature is more powerful, it has no independent intelligence. In a sense, it just has instincts and everything is based on survival. Although it will fight back when it encounters threats, it does not hold any grudges afterwards. .

But unlike this three-dimensional creature, it sensed danger and rushed towards it.

In a sense, this creature poses a greater threat to pan-ancient civilization than the real four-dimensional creature and must be completely eliminated.

At this moment, the four-dimensional battleship suddenly sounded a piercing alarm. At the same time, a suppressed and terrifying aura seemed to penetrate the four-dimensional battleship's dimensional protection and permeate the four-dimensional battleship's control center.
