123 Exploring Alternate Dimensions
Believe it? Of course, I believe it. Not only do I believe it, but I've even been there...
Zhou Jing quickly composed himself, trying not to show any unusual expression, while a storm raged in his heart.
To actually talk about the multiverse… Does the main world really understand this?
Although he had signed a confidentiality agreement, these words came from the mouth of an ordinary college instructor, just to tell a newly awakened person. Could it be that this news wasn't some high-level secret? Was it merely kept from the public, but already circulating in the superpower community?
He had originally planned to slowly look for clues after he grew up in the future, but he didn't expect to come into contact with relevant information so easily, which was beyond his expectations.
They shouldn't be trying to make a fool of me, right…
Zhou Jing thought of many things in an instant, unsure of the college instructor's intentions. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked cautiously:
"Should I believe it or not?"
Hearing this answer, the college instructor remained calm. He would say such opening remarks to some selected students in each new batch, and there were all kinds of reactions.
Some people thought it was a psychological test question and answered seriously, some people thought it was a joke and made witty remarks, and some people thought he was crazy and looked at him like an idiot… He was used to it.
The college instructor shook his head and continued to speak:
"You young people have probably seen some brain-hole hypotheses and entertainment works similar to the multiverse on the Internet. They are all old topics. But I can tell you clearly that the multiverse is definitely real and has been confirmed."
Zhou Jing's heart skipped a beat.
Confirming his own guess from the other party's mouth almost made him lose his composure.
He quickly put on a shocked and questioning expression to conceal the excitement in his heart.
Seeing Zhou Jing's expression, the college instructor was not surprised, but rather a little happy.
Telling these selected students the truth of the world every year and seeing them show such an expression of being shocked to the core was his rare pleasure.
The college instructor's mouth slightly curved, feeling smug. He cleared his throat and explained:
"A long time ago, we thought the universe was unique, but this theory was later overturned. Scientists discovered that outside the universe we live in, there are many other universes, each with its own space and time. We call them 'planes' or 'star realms'.
According to the model hypothesis established by scientists, a plane is a universe, and a universe has countless stars. Some stars have different civilizations or lives… And these unknown numbers of planes form a vast and chaotic system.
However, we cannot directly observe the chaotic space outside the universe, so we assume that each plane is like a planet, and is the basic celestial unit of this vast system, nesting the operation logic of the universe to a higher level.
And planes and celestial bodies happen to have similarities, both exist gravitational force, and have laws similar to celestial movements. Planes attract each other, and the distance is constantly changing, thus forming a chaotic and disorderly operating system… This phenomenon we generally call 'plane gravitational tide'."
Zhou Jing immediately noted it down and digested it.
He extracted the key points from it, pretended to be surprised, and asked:
"We are not the only universe… So what will happen? What impact can the mutual attraction of planes have? What does this have to do with me, and why are you telling me this?"
The college instructor smiled and signaled Zhou Jing to be calm and not impatient, and continued:
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly… Although we have discovered the existence of the multiverse, with our level of technology, let alone entering the chaotic space outside the universe, we have not even explored more than 99 percent of our own universe, so in theory it is impossible to leave our own main universe and enter other planes.
But there are always accidents. Many years ago, scientists created a shuttle device that can cross planes and transmit life, which can project life forms into other planes and cross the universe to retrieve the projector, shuttling back and forth…"
Zhou Jing took a deep breath.
Good fellow, a device for projecting life across the universe, what black technology is this? No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem like something that current human civilization technology could create!
He felt that there was something fishy about it, but he wasn't sure.
After all, there were many strange superhumans among the scientists. It wasn't impossible if they really created black technology.
The college instructor was excited, and his fingers moved on the table, and said:
"The shuttle device has many limitations. Generally, only life forms can shuttle, but the transmission of items will suffer a kind of filtration that has not been studied clearly until now, resulting in differences in the items that can be shuttled in each plane. I won't go into details, you will learn it in class in the future…
Most importantly, the shuttle device can only be activated when the plane's gravitational force reaches sufficient strength. Because the plane gravitational tide has periodicity, we divide the tide into two stages according to the activation threshold of the shuttle device… When the planes are far away and the shuttle device cannot be activated, it is called the 'separation period'. When the planes are close and the shuttle device can be activated, it is called the 'confluence period'."
Zhou Jing's heart fluttered, and he immediately thought of the situation where he was disconnected from the Alien Beast World.
Confluence period, separation period…
Maybe his Star Realm Transmigration panel is also connected to the Star Realm based on this situation!
He couldn't observe when the plane would enter the confluence period. The main world seemed to have a way to measure it… Then, if he could get the measurement data from the main world, wouldn't he be able to directly know when his panel could connect to the Star Realm, instead of waiting every day like he had for the past few months?
Zhou Jing immediately became excited.
The main world has been studying alien planes for so long, and it must have accumulated a lot of information. If he could browse it, it would be of great help to his own Star Realm Transmigration.
Isn't this borrowing a chicken to lay eggs?!
The transmigration timing of the Star Realm Transmigration panel is so similar to that of the so-called shuttle device. Perhaps they both cannot completely violate the natural laws of plane convergence.
However, the shuttle device seems to only be able to project the real body of life forms… And his Star Realm Transmigration panel can create the "Star Realm Apostle" controlled by himself in the alien plane using material recombination!
This is probably the unique advantage of his own Star Realm Transmigration ability, which is greatly different from the shuttle device that uses technology.
While his heart was surging, the college instructor smiled and finally got to the reason why he came to him.
"Because of the existence of the shuttle device, countries have begun to explore alien planes. This cause has been going on for many years. The main energy of human civilization is still to carry out interstellar expansion in the main universe, but some people have been allocated to secretly explore other worlds, to prepare for both.
Because the transmission of materials is subject to many restrictions, the main gain we have obtained from various planes is knowledge. The many superpower knowledge you see on the course selection form is the accumulation of many years.
Many of the personnel who perform alien exploration missions through the shuttle device are superhumans. The main world is generally peaceful, and superhumans do not have much use, but because of their excellent personal abilities, they are very suitable for dealing with the complex environment of alien planes… And this profession is called 'Explorer'.
Countries have established their own secret agencies, 'Exploration Bureau', which is responsible for coordinating the alien plane exploration and development work of their countries. The superhumans you see on the Internet, on the surface have various social occupations, but in fact many people have been alien world explorers in secret and have been conscripted.
The reason why I am talking to you is because the college believes that you have the potential to become an alien world explorer, so it is willing to open up hidden courses for you… This is a rare opportunity.
In order to facilitate the management of each planet, each colonial star has an Exploration Bureau. The normal process would not inform the newly awakened people who have just entered the school so early… However, Aquastar is a new colonial star, and the Exploration Bureau here has not been established for long, and it is the time when people are lacking, so the college is required to develop training for potential talents in advance, so I am here to tell you this."
The college instructor explained seriously.
Zhou Jing basically understood the situation and was secretly surprised.
He finally confirmed that the alien plane life forms he encountered in the Alien Beast World were most likely explorers from the main world…
Oh, he seemed to have accidentally killed one!
Could it be a senior?
Zhou Jing was a little guilty.
But on second thought, all countries have explorers, so he may not have killed one of his own.
Moreover, according to what the other party said, in other old planets, people who have just entered the school are not qualified to know these things. Only because Aquastar is a new colonial star where everything is waiting to be developed, did he have such treatment.
——This immigration was the right choice, otherwise he wouldn't know how long it would take to find out this information… Although it's not that confidential.
At this time, Zhou Jing suddenly realized a problem.
"Um… I have a question. If the civilizations of other planes also have technology similar to the shuttle device, can they also explore various alien planes, and even enter our universe?"
The college instructor was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and nodded:
"Our universe is just one of many planes. If other planes have this technology, they should also be able to shuttle to our world in reverse… But I don't know the situation."
Zhou Jing hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Good fellow, he thought the main universe was special, but it turned out it also had to receive guests.
However, he also understood why countries would be distracted from exploring alien planes when the main universe still had infinite development potential.
I am afraid it is not only to explore resources, but also to seize positions, continue to invest in research, so as not to lag behind in this area of technology, and prevent a confluence with a plane with a powerful civilization one day, and be reverse-transmigrated by others, but he knows nothing about it…
Although he didn't know how many years the countries had been exploring alien worlds, it must have been quite a long time. It was indeed a bit unbelievable that it had not been leaked to the public for so long, especially when many superhumans had participated.
Zhou Jing pretended to hesitate and asked: "Such a big thing, hasn't anyone leaked it for so long? What if it is accidentally leaked to the public, will it cause a sensation?"
"Hehe, actually nothing will happen, otherwise where do you think those entertainment works about the multiverse come from? There have indeed been many leaks, but in the end they all turned into unfounded things, confusing the public and becoming talking points. As long as there is no actual evidence, it is not important whether you believe it or not."
The college instructor smiled, and then said sternly:
"Only the shuttle device can perform the transmigration, so even if it leaks out, nothing will happen, but confidentiality is required by the governments of various countries, and there is no need to let the public know about these things. Moreover, confidentiality is actually not that difficult. The civilian networks of various planets are not connected to each other, and it is easy to control. In addition, there is no benefit for explorers to violate the confidentiality agreement, so naturally no one will speak."
Zhou Jing understood.
He looked at the college instructor and suddenly asked curiously: "Actually, you are also an explorer, right?"
The college instructor shrugged.
"I can only say that I have been conscripted and served in the Chidu Exploration Bureau once.
Remember what I just said, planes have confluence periods and separation periods, so there are not transmigrations missions all the time, and not every mission will find you. Most explorers only need to serve occasionally, they are just 'part-time', and true full-time explorers are extremely rare… The situation here is more complicated, and you will understand when you take relevant courses, so I won't go into details."
Speaking of this, the college instructor paused, looked at Zhou Jing, and said seriously:
"I have basically told you the situation. Are you willing to accept the Explorer course training? Once you agree, you need to serve at least once if the Exploration Bureau has a mission call in the future. And whether you accept Explorer training or not, you cannot leak this information."
Hearing this, Zhou Jing nodded without hesitation.
"I am willing."
Such a good opportunity can also provide convenience for his own Star Realm Transmigration, he has no reason to refuse.
