“Your subdimension can hold people now?”

“It seems like it…”

“Unbelievable…but you don’t need to wear a spacesuit? How do you breathe in it?”

Lin Lin was inside Jiang Chen’s storage dimension in a spacesuit. Her small mouth was wide open because of shock, she said while she looked at Jiang Chen who was floating beside her.

“I don’t know,” Jiang Chen shook his head and said helplessly, “Maybe…because I am the master of this subdimension?”

Compared with when the subdimension was just formed, apart from the space becoming bigger, this spherical space did not change significantly. As for how he could stuff himself inside, how could living creatures be stored inside, it was impossible for him to understand such advanced topics with his undergraduate education.

Just that instinct told him it was likely related to the golden-yellow gravel-like substance.

“Where is that golden thing?”

“It’s there.”

Jiang Chen pointed towards the corner of the space.

Lin Lin followed the direction Jiang Chen pointed at and she found the golden gravel in the corner of the subdimension.

The air box behind whizzed, and under the boost of the gas jet, Lin Lin flew towards the golden gravel.

When she flew next to it, she reached out and tried to touch it, but that golden gravel slipped away through the cracks between her fingers.

“Strange…” Lin Lin muttered to herself as her index finger repeatedly tried to touch it, “It’s like a holographic projection, there is no resistance at all.”

“Even I can’t do anything about it.” Jiang Chen sighed, shrugged helplessly, and moved to Lin Lin’s side, “What do you think? Do you have a clue?”

Countless tiny light particles floated around this group of golden matter. Upon closer inspection, the entire golden yellow matter seemed to be entangled with countless light particles. No matter if he tried to touch it with his hand, or anything else, this golden matter did not seem to exist in this world, as if it did not intersect with everything in this world.

“…Is this the matter that got into your subdimension after Mars exploded?” Lin Lin carefully examined the seemingly flowing lines on the surface of the light ball, as she was lost in thought.

“It should be after the explosion of Mars… before, when I took out the magnetic confinement device storing antimatter from the subdimension, there was no such matter in it.”

“So, is the most crucial point that it happened after Mars exploded?”

“That’s right.” Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something.

“What’s wrong?”

“I remember that after Mars exploded…I briefly entered the void. While in the void, the voice inside told me… that thing is only understood by a type III civilization on the Kardashev scale.”

“Level III civilization?” The expression on Lin Lin’s face was quite shocked.

Based on the definition of the Kardashev scale, the scope of activity of the type III civilization covered the entire galaxy. Even the Gaia civilization was only the pinnacle of type I civilization, and it had just managed to pass the threshold of level II civilization on the technical level.

As for the current Earth civilization, although it seemed to have built colonies to Jupiter, in fact, there was still a big gap in the full utilization of the Earth’s resources. Therefore, based on the Kardashev scale, the Earth civilization could only be described as barely touching the edge of type I.

Based on Fermi’s Paradox, if such a civilization really did exist in the Milky Way, then humans would have encountered it a long time ago.

Therefore, it was very likely that a type III civilization had yet to be born in the Milky Way…

But the ghost in the void did not tell these things to Jiang Chen.

After Jiang Chen repeated what he heard in the void, he looked at Lin Lin, who lowered her head and became deep in thought.

About ten minutes later, Lin Lin shook her head.

“Have you considered a possibility?”

“What possibility?” Jiang Chen asked immediately.

“Don’t get excited, this kind of speculation is without any scientific basis,” Lin Lin’s expression was a little embarrassed. “The four-dimensional Klein particle decayed into a three-dimensional world that can be transformed into light and energy. Based on this idea, by analogy, what kind of effect will the unknown matter existing in the eleven-dimensional world have if it decayed?”

“An explosion?”

“What explosion, can you be a little bit imaginative?” Lin Lin rolled her eyes at him, and after a soft cough, she continued, “The decay from the eleven-dimensional space to the ten-dimensional space, and then continue from the ten-dimensional space to a lower-dimensional space, and the one-dimensional space is also filled. The things created along the way are invisible to us, but they are all necessary elements to form a complete universe…”

“That is to say.” There was a look of realization that appeared briefly in Jiang Chen’s pupils.

“The decay may have occurred, but from our perspective, it may not be visible.” Lin Lin looked at the golden gravel and continued, “If this inference is correct, then your subdimension is probably moving towards the transformation of a real universe”

…

20.5 light-years away, the half emerald green and half flesh red Gliese 581G floated quietly on its orbit, like a piece of unique artwork in the starry night.

Under the emerald green “leaves”, there were entangled tubes, nutrients and heat were transferred from the tidal locked side to the dark side. There were large chunks of flesh-colored mass. The Harmony residents lived under the flesh-colored mass, and their bodies were filled with large and small tubes, like somatic cells connected in series by capillaries.

Every individual was a cell in the gigantic behemoth.

Once they entered into a fierce ground battle, no civilization could fair against them.

Space warfare was not their area of expertise, but for the Earth civilization still in its infancy, it was not a difficult task to overcome.

Except that, they did not expect the Earth civilization would win when they were guaranteed to be victorious…

When the news of the defeat of the space colonization ship finally arrived, the entire planet was filled with shrill wailing.

The Harmony civilization residents sent condolences to the soldiers who had not returned from the expedition. The scaly mutants living under the huge leaf bubble roared into the air and waved their sharp claws, as they expressed their desire for war and slaughter to the will of the mother nest with high spirits.

However, in the next second, all mutants became quiet.

[Silence.]

The cold voice reverberated in the mind of every mutant.

It was not any language, and there was not any text that could record it, but for the mutants, it was an imperial edict.

The flesh-red mass began to squirm, and large clumps gathered toward the middle of the planet not facing the star.

Suddenly, a bumpy human face grew out of the center of that planet.

The eyes opened slowly.

Those eyes stared motionlessly in the direction of the solar system.

Even if it was very clear that the galaxy reflected in its pupils was nothing but the reflection emitted from more than 20 years ago, its line of sight still stayed on it. It was as if it tried to engrave everything about this planet into its mind.

The expedition failed.

There was not much frustration in its mind.

The splitters began to lift off and send the organic matter to the skeleton on the synchronous orbit, and a larger space colonization ship was slowly taking shape.

The contempt for Earth civilization was the main cause of failure. After all, based on their expectation, Earth would have just entered the first few years of the space age when they arrived…

This would never happen again.

This time, it would build a stronger fleet, allowing the endless swarms to devour the iron and steel of the Earth’s civilization.

The real war had just begun….
