A mirror?
Flat?
What does that an?
Lin Xu frowned deeply as he read Bai Mo's ssage.
Before he could reply, another ssage from her had already arrived.
Bai Mo:
"What else do you know? Why are you so familiar with these things?"
"Is the extra-dinsional experience you ntioned the sa as what I call mirror space? Have you personally experienced it?"
"What is the apocalypse? Does it truly exist?"
Looking at Bai Mo's ssages, Lin Xu montarily didn't know how to respond.
Did the apocalypse exist?
Of course it existed, and according to current clues, it would arrive in 20 years.
But higher-dinsional space?
That didn't seem similar to the "mirror space" Bai Mo described.
Based on Skull Head's wife's description, it was more like a "singularity space" dinsion.
What Bai Mo described... seed more like so kind of two-dinsional space?
After brief consideration, Lin Xu typed his reply:
"You can assu I've entered that space, but my experience was different from yours."
"Describe in detail what you an by mirror space."
Monts later, Bai Mo's response ca.
Bai Mo:
"Different is exactly right!"
"It's a... higher dinsion!"
"Everyone's experience is different!"
Lin Xu:
"Why?"
After sending the ssage, Bai Mo called monts later.
She didn't give Lin Xu ti to speak, imdiately firing off words like rapid gunfire after the call connected:
"It's a higher-dinsional space!"
"Like when a two-dinsional being is pulled into three dinsions - you'd never know where you'd land on the Z-axis!"
"I see a plane because I'm further along the Z-axis, maybe even at its endpoint."
"You might see layered cross-sections because you're still on the Z-axis!"
"What everyone sees is different - that doesn't matter at all!"
"What matters is that you saw it! Anyone who's entered that space would imdiately sense its difference!"
"...I understand."
Lin Xu exhaled deeply before asking:
"What exactly did you see?"
"A plane! A mirror!"
"Like countless mirrors stacked together, their reflections endlessly nested in infinite recursion!"
"But those reflections... I can't describe them."
"From my perception, I thought they were flat, but actually they weren't - it was a comparative flatness... How should I explain..."
Bai Mo's words beca sowhat disordered, but Lin Xu suddenly understood her aning.
"When a two-dinsional being ascends to three dinsions, with only two-dinsional vision, its original two-dinsional world would appear as just a one-dinsional line ford by the intersection of visual plane and dinsional plane."
"When three-dinsional beings ascend to higher dinsions, all we can see is a two-dinsional plane ford by the base circle of our vision cone intersecting the three-dinsional world."
"Lower-dinsional beings ascending higher inevitably perceive their native dinsion as reduced - sensorily reduced."
"That's why you thought what you saw was flat."
"It's unrelated to the Z-axis, but rather to your 'orientation' in the higher-dinsional space."
After he finished speaking, Bai Mo on the other end fell silent.
Then her slightly trembling voice ca through:
"Yes!"
"That's exactly it!"
"How do you know?? How can you describe it??"
"...I don't know."
Lin Xu slowly shook his head.
He himself didn't know how he'd spoken those words.
It was like so subconscious knowledge - upon hearing Bai Mo's description, the words had instantly co out.
Just like when he'd blurted out "Mars."
After a pause, Lin Xu continued:
"Probably because I've been there, so I understand."
In truth, he'd never been.
He'd only heard Skull Head's wife describe it.
But in this mont, Bai Mo completely believed him.
"What... what should we do??"
"Never mind what we should do for now..."
Lin Xu sighed.
"You haven't answered my question."
"Why do you want to go to Mars? Why space?"
"This is important!"
"Because I saw Mars in that space!"
Bai Mo answered without hesitation:
"It was different from other planar objects... it was three-dinsional!"
"By your explanation, it likely shared a higher dinsion with at so instant."
"Also, I saw a spacecraft..."
"I don't know what kind, but it was flying toward Mars!"
"It was also three-dinsional... I want to know where it entered that higher-dinsional space from!"
Zhurong rover.
Lin Xu's hair stood on end.
Now he finally understood what made this Mars probe so special.
It had passed through higher-dinsional space.
Perhaps just a higher-dinsional "bubble," but having entered, it must have been altered.
That's why it beca so crucial.
So crucial that everyone seeking apocalypse clues needed to physically possess it!
One mystery had been solved.
Of course, deeper mysteries followed.
Where did that higher-dinsional space co from?
How was it connected to the apocalypse??
Such questions likely couldn't be answered simply from the world within the wristband.
Because its inhabitants probably hadn't solved this either!
He'd reached the boundary.
Beyond lay only the vast, uninhabited starry void.
To solve this, only one thod remained:
A temporal pincer movent.
Acquire technology from the future, utilize current resources, and initiate the process twenty years early!
Lin Xu looked at the wristband.
He realized its appearance in his possession was no accident.
He exhaled softly.
Then he said to Bai Mo:
"What you saw was the Zhurong Mars rover."
"I guessed that!"
Bai Mo imdiately responded.
"Then why did you say you hadn't heard those keywords?"
Lin Xu frowned.
"I was too nervous... That's not what I ant, I ant I didn't..."
"Enough."
Lin Xu interrupted.
"Regardless, we're allies now."
"Our information exchange must be completely transparent - you must tell everything you know."
"Take ti to organize your clues and send them to ."
"Understood."
Bai Mo answered imdiately.
"What about Tianqiong Technology? Should I still go?"
"Yes."
Lin Xu answered gravely:
"You'll go, and you'll push for Star Voyager-1's accelerated launch."
"Because... you'll be its astronaut!"
