Chapter 752: Chapter 629: Four-dimensional Coordinates and High-speed Zones
The space-time characteristics revealed by Element Seven deeply fascinated all the wizards present.
Unfortunately, the requirements for researching this were too high, as it not only required an unimaginably huge amount of magic power but also the ability to influence dimensions itself.
The nocturnal commotion quickly subsided, and the civilians who had walked into the alleys of the royal city experienced initial panic and fear, followed by sudden joy upon returning to safety, and they began to boast about this extraordinary experience.
One drunkard even vowed that he had just been able to see his own back by turning his head while walking down the street, a bizarre claim that naturally provoked laughter among the civilians.
Lynn had no intention of resting, so after explaining the situation, he asked Harrov and others to form a small group dedicated to dimensional and spatial research, specifically selecting wizards who specialized in theoretical studies.
They might not be of much help in practical research, but their broad-thinking might play some role.
As you know, truly cutting-edge technology is often derived directly from calculations on paper!
However, with the recent mishap as a lesson, Lynn did not dare to continue the research within the royal city, and after careful consideration, he planned to relocate the lab for researching Element Seven to the Moon.
It wasn’t that he had been careless before, in fact, Lynn had equipped his home lab with extremely powerful protective magic, but it was unfortunately ineffective against higher-dimensional forces.
During an emergency council meeting and discussion, the members of the dimensional and spatial research group were carefully selected, and if Lynn hadn’t limited the number to fewer than fifty people, the council members would have preferred everyone to go.
Everyone knew it was a rare opportunity, especially the wizards who had been on missions to foreign lands. They understood this deeply.
While they were there for less than half a year, upon their return they found the kingdom completely changed, their colleagues had all been promoted, leaving them behind in their initial positions, so the competition for these slots was fierce.
Of course, there were downsides as well. Human lifespans are limited, and staying in an area with a high time flow rate only used up that time sooner. Some apprentices with no hope of promotion liked to stay in slow-time areas. This way, upon their return to the kingdom, they could witness many new and interesting things, as if they had traveled to the future!
Ultimately, it was decided that half of the Legendary Councilmen would stay in the kingdom to oversee the upcoming developmental work, while forty high-ranking wizards with significant contributions in magical research would be selected to assist.
The site was easily manageable. Although the Space-Time Gate from the Eternal Star to the Moon had long been established, and work on modifying the satellite to establish habitable zones was underway, the area was still largely vacant, making it easy to earmark any space for an experimental base.
After a night of discussion, dozens of related proposals were already laid out before Lynn.
Harrov wanted to research whether gravity continued to act in a separated space, as described by the civilians who entered the alleys; gravity was still present, or else they would have floated up, but it remained to be seen whether there would be other effects that required further study.
Vittorio even planned to go further and conduct multiple chemical and physical law tests.
Some wizards from the Environmental Conservation Association planned on farming and breeding in high-time-flow areas… If successful, food would no longer be a worry. A million acres of farmland could supply grains for tens of millions of people, sufficient to meet the kingdom’s rapidly growing population.
In addition to these, there were proposals about how to establish communication between different time flow rate zones, real-time transmission, or bringing in a batch of magic bats with a lifespan limit of three months to observe whether their lifespan would increase or decrease…
Lynn reviewed all the proposals, dismissing some of the more outlandish experiments, and agreed to the rest.
Harrov and his team’s considerations were quite comprehensive; many experiments would not only be conducted internally, but the council would also send people to establish corresponding experiment control groups on the Moon to ensure data accuracy.
This was why Lynn had the council organize a research group; others could finish the mundane tasks, allowing him to devote more computing power to more critical areas.
The most important thing, of course, was peace of mind!
In the following month, after Lynn became familiar with the space-time characteristics of Element Seven on the desolate Moon, he personally used divine power to strip a total area of about 100,000 square kilometers.
It was a very strange sensation, like sailing a small boat on a turbulent ocean, where losing shelter carried the risk of being swallowed by quantum tides at any moment.
Like the first, second, and third dimensions, the fourth dimension also has two directions. The farther from the original coordinates, the more pronounced the spatial distortion and time speed change became.
After some research, Lynn divided this “distance” into corresponding time units, with each unit equating to a time flow rate one times faster than that of the Eternal Star. He could also reverse into a slower time rate area…
“Wait a minute, could the main world also be here?” Lynn suddenly thought of this terrifying question, and his brows furrowed.
He vividly remembered that when they first opened the Space-Time Gate between the two realms, there was a time flow rate difference of 7.25 times, but by the time everyone had retreated from the foreign realm, the difference had already dropped below seven times. From the current situation, this meant they were continuously getting closer.
If this time flow rate difference decreased to zero, one of the two worlds would be captured by the other, or they might merge into each other.
The gods of the main world sought and assimilated planes, mostly using this method…
However, Lynn’s furrowed brows soon relaxed, because according to his guess, besides the fourth dimension’s coordinates, the other three dimensions’ coordinates should also be different.
It’s like randomly throwing a small ball in any direction with any force; hitting a fixed three-dimensional coordinate is extremely unlikely.
Realizing this, Lynn collected his thoughts, refocused his effort on research, and began to attempt the maximum time flow rate difference.
Double… Triple… Quadruple…
The experimental base that was stripped away moved further from the original coordinates, and Lynn felt a slight pressure. The consumption of magic power began to surge, used to counter the increasingly intense quantum tides…
