Chapter 619: Chapter 612: The Second Gift_1
Jiang Yu scratched his head irritably, "Think of a way to save people."
Li Zihui cautiously said, "Our understanding of the mathematical strike is too superficial..."
He suddenly paused here, as if he didn't know how to continue.
Jiang Yu glanced at him, "Speak!"
Li Zihui then cleared his throat and said, "Even if we have a way, we can't save people.
"Because the mathematical structure on them has already become disordered, I speculate that once they enter a normal mathematical structure, they would immediately cause the normal mathematical structure to become chaotic as well."
The meeting room fell silent for two to three seconds, Wei Xiang remarked with a sigh, "This is a strike pattern prepared for advanced civilizations!"
Song Xingrui's decision was correct, otherwise, it would be very easy to bring the disordered mathematical structure into the micro-universe.
And the micro-universe could open entrances in other planetary systems, enabling the disorderly mathematical structure to 'propagate' to other colonial systems within a short period.
Fortunately, Song Xingrui promptly blocked this 'propagation' route!
With such a strike, the higher the civilization level, the faster the 'propagation' speed.
But the Solar System State is an outlier in civilization. Imagine those dispersed colonial civilizations, if one of the colonies suffered a mathematical strike, even if the leader of that colony had the spirit of sacrifice and did everything to prevent them from going to other colonies.
But not everyone necessarily possesses such a spirit, and they would definitely rush to other colonies at the fastest speed possible.
There are many such methods, and the micro-universe is considered a relatively complex and backward one.
If it were possible to establish long-distance spatial tunnels, then there wouldn't even be the need to board spaceships to propagate the disorderly mathematical model to all colonies.
And the Solar System State has effective control over every colony, as well as officers like Song Xingrui who possess the spirit of sacrifice.
So theoretically, the Solar System State could stop the propagation of a numerical strike at the source, but it would require the sacrifice of Song Xingrui and others.
As for whether a numerical strike could slowly 'propagate' through cosmic space to other planetary systems, that's hard to say.
Jiang Yu waved his hand in irritation, "Have we figured out who launched the Dark Forest Strike against us?"
Wei Xiang reported, "Not yet, we have found no traces of spaceships around the Bohai Star System, and the nearby colonial planetary systems haven't provided similar reports."
The Bohai Star System is roughly in the hinterland of the Solar System State. If an advanced civilization spaceship had flown to the Bohai Star System from the periphery of the Solar System State, the colonial systems on the perimeter would have been unaware.
Jiang Yu said, "Then we can almost be certain that this is Big Tree's doing."
Big Tree had just introduced the mathematical strike, and shortly afterwards, the Solar System encountered one. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
An expert asked, "How did Big Tree deliver the mathematical strike to the Bohai Star System?"
Jiang Shiliu answered, "It must have located the Bohai Star System from a higher dimension.
"When the Wallfacer communicated with Big Tree before, it used the Bohai Star System as a signal relay point, so Big Tree should have easily been able to trace the signal back here."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Shiliu's speculation remained unproven for the time being, but it was likely correct. Just as the Paradise Civilization, of the same God-level status, possessed similar capabilities.
A Wallfacer said, "Big Tree indeed bears ill will, pretending to communicate with us, offering to take us on a visit, but in fact, all of this was to buy time to locate us!"
"No!" Jiang Yu countered, "This is the second gift from Big Tree!"
Many were surprised, "The second gift?"
Was he being sarcastic? Since when is a Dark Forest Strike considered a gift?
Jiang Yu continued to explain, "Weren't there people yesterday who wanted to see what a mathematical strike looks like?
"Only by experiencing it, can we understand the power of this kind of attack, and gain an intuitive understanding of abstract weaponry.
"This is like when we needed lightspeed spaceships, Big Tree let us witness the flight process of the curvature spaceship. Isn't that a gift?
"Otherwise, for this kind of abstract weaponry, we would have to study for hundreds of years before achieving even a slight result."
Xiao Qi smiled bitterly, "The problem is that we cannot catch this gift! It could easily engulf the entire Solar System State in a numerical strike."

"Moreover, the mathematical chaos zone is bound to spread," Jiang Yu said, "we just don't know the speed of its spread yet!"
"Perhaps in the future, we may need to relocate the entire nation!"
"Big Tree has also given us a hint," Jiang Yu continued, "Aside from digital weapons being able to counter digital weapons, he said there are other more troublesome ways to resolve this."
"Everyone, put your minds to work! With our current level of technology, we must be able to solve this crisis."
Li Zihui from the Academy of Sciences faced difficulties, as they had already discussed the issue. Not to mention the current level of human technology, even an advanced civilization, when facing an attack of this scale, would likely have no choice but to flee.
While no one at the Academy of Sciences dared to speak, Jiang Shiliu suddenly said, "Actually, Big Tree has already pointed the way for us."
Everyone except Jiang Yu was taken aback, turning to look at Jiang Shiliu.
Jiang Shiliu declared, "Firstly, I must say, saving Song Xingrui and his group is easy for the Five-dimensional World."
Upon hearing this revelation, everyone's understanding cleared: right, by sending Song Xingrui and his group to the Five-dimensional World, they would be saved.
Even if digital weapons are powerful, they are still three-dimensional weapons; they wouldn't have much effect on five-dimensional consciousness.
There had always been a blind spot in everyone's thinking, always feeling that the power of the fifth dimension was quite weak. Yet, many problems that seem difficult to resolve in three dimensions could easily be solved in higher dimensions.
According to the latest research, micro-dimensions are actually very vast. They are not like what the Trisolarans previously thought, that each proton is a micro-universe.
The micro-dimensions are interconnected, present within every fundamental particle; moreover, the dimensions within each fundamental particle constitute a whole.
Long ago, when the Trisolarans two-dimensionalized a proton, they encountered the Magic Eye civilization within that very proton, which just happened to be an advanced civilization from a micro-dimension.
This civilization was so advanced that even when they instantly fell into two-dimensional space, they still had the ability to strike the macroscopic world.
It was the good fortune of the Trisolarans that they encountered native intelligent beings from the micro-universe.
If the Magic Eye civilization they encountered was an inter-dimensional civilization like humanity, then the Trisolaran Civilization would have long been sought out by an advanced civilization to settle scores.
According to humanity's latest research, the micro-universe is more colossal than the macro-universe, and the power of micro-dimensions is far greater than what humans had previously imagined.
It's like a sponge; the macroscopic three-dimensional universe is the surface of the sponge, while the micro-dimensions are the twisting and turning insides of the sponge.
After all, each time a dimension is reduced, a large amount of mass enters the micro-dimension; with this mass supporting it, the micro-dimension cannot be small.
Theoretically, Jiang Shiliu from the micro-dimension could influence the macroscopic universe through fundamental particles. However, this area of technology has not been a focus of development in the Five-dimensional World.
This was also the reason Jiang Yu had called Jiang Shiliu; communication between two dimensions was not enough. There needed to be substantial mutual aid to bring the two closer together.
Jiang Shiliu continued, "Moreover, digital strikes are not without countermeasures. We have basically confirmed that a digital strike changes the digital rules within a certain area.
"No matter how the numbers change, there is one number that remains constant: 0!"
Li Zihui immediately understood, "The Big Bang!"
"Exactly," Jiang Shiliu smiled and said, "Use the Big Bang to reshuffle the Bohai Star System!"
"But, but…" Li Zihui hesitated, then had a sudden realization, "How can we support you?"
As three-dimensional beings, we just need to find the right method to compress a piece of two-dimensional space to zero-dimensions, and then detonate it with a big bang.
For the Solar System State, this process is already well-practiced.
However, as three-dimensional humans, we can't compress three-dimensional space to zero-dimensions.
It's like forging a rectangular piece of iron. If you want to make one of its faces smaller, this can easily be done by striking from above on one face, causing that face to become narrow and long in no time.
But to reduce the volume of the entire rectangular piece of iron is difficult.
You can imagine, even if you strike just one face and make the iron very thin, the area of the face being struck will become larger, and after calculations, the volume would be almost the same as before.
This is similar to the current technology of humanity; it's easy to deform three-dimensional space, but impossible to compress three dimensions into zero.
Nevertheless, this task is not very difficult for the higher dimensional Jiang Shiliu; in his eyes, three dimensions are merely a face.
Li Zihui also immediately grasped this point, so he simply asked how to assist the Fifth Dimension?
