Lan Nuo has been waiting for this meeting for who knows how long. Naturally, he has already planned how to communicate with the other party? Communication between intelligent creatures. First, let the other party understand that he is a civilized and rational existence.

, rather than a living beast.

Even though the development directions of life forms, culture, and science and technology are different, there are always some things that are the same, such as mathematics.

"Send him a sequence of numbers, prime numbers, two, three, five, seven, eleven, thirteen, seventeen, nineteen. I think he will understand. If he replies to us with subsequent sequences, then we can prove that he

He is also a civilized individual.

After proving this, we can try to communicate, such as sending him a self-interpretation system, just like Ye Wenjie did many years ago."

Lan Nuo's statement made the crew feel more or less uneasy.

"Don't worry, as we can see, the volume of this space is still shrinking. It keeps falling into our three-dimensional world, and what about him? He is already trapped here, and maybe his civilization can only

With this pitiful little territory left, imagine what would happen if we fell into a two-dimensional world?

The same is true for him now. If we communicate with him, at most it may bring danger to us, but not to our civilization. Perhaps communication with him will bring us some unexpected gains."

The sequence of numbers has been sent out. Mathematics is a language that is almost universal in the universe. Although the other party may not necessarily be able to understand Arabic numerals, as long as the numbers are replaced by continuous signal fluctuations, they will naturally be able to understand the meaning contained in it.

That makes sense.

It didn't take long for the scientific research fleet to receive a reply. It was also a series of consecutive signals. The first time was twenty-three, then twenty-nine, thirty-one, thirty-seven...

Obviously the other party understands what they mean and wants to communicate with them. In fact, in the original work, this is how the two parties establish communication.

Mathematics, the universal language of the universe, allows smooth communication between different races and civilizations. Lanno sent the self-decoding system through controllable high-energy particles. There are a large number of members who help other civilizations or races.

To understand the content of human language, if the technology is sufficiently developed, it only takes a short time to understand a language.

The fleet soon received the signal again. This time the other party sent a video file. To be precise, it should be a live broadcast.

Below are the blocks that advance little by little from left to right, and above are three characters that are constantly beating. Each character will cycle once after beating six times.

"Is this... a progress bar? The number on it may be the number of their civilization, is it a hexadecimal number?" In fact, Lan Nuo didn't need to say anything, and the scientists present probably guessed it.

As the numbers continue to change, the numbers that are incomprehensible at first are gradually transformed into ones that humans can understand. The first one that appears is the percent sign, and then soon, those incomprehensible numbers become 35%.

, and then continued to increase slowly, which shows that aliens have learned human numbers by interpreting human self-decoding systems, and communication will soon be established.

The progress bar advances very quickly. It can be seen that the technology of four-dimensional creatures is still very high. Even if it is a civilization that is about to fall, even if it is an individual in a civilization that is about to fall, his interpretation of the language of human civilization

The speed is still very fast.

It only took a few minutes for the progress adjustment to reach 100%.

Then four Chinese characters were displayed on the screen: "I am a cemetery"

These four words made the crew members confused for a while, but they soon connected with the article that Lan Nuo mentioned before that space is shrinking, and they already had some understanding in their hearts. If they were surrounded by the advancing two-dimensional space,

, maybe it will be the same mentality.

Whose cemetery?

The grave of the builder of this cemetery.

Is this a spaceship?

It was once a spaceship, and after death it became a cemetery.

Who are you? Who is talking to us?

I am the cemetery, the cemetery is talking to you, I am dead.

Are you saying that you are the spacecraft itself with the dead crew, or the control system of the spacecraft?

(no answer.)

There are many objects in the nearby area, are they also graveyards?

Most of them are cemeteries and will soon become cemeteries. I don't recognize them.

Did you come from far away, or have you always been here?

I come from afar, and they come from afar, and from different distances.

Where does it come from?

ocean.

Did you build this four-dimensional space?

(no answer.)

You say you come from the sea, did you build the sea?

So, to you, or to your builders, is this four-dimensional space something similar to the ocean?

It's a puddle, the sea has dried up.

Why are so many spaceships, or cemeteries, gathered in such a small space?

When the sea dries up, the fish will gather in the puddles. The puddles will also dry up, and the fish will disappear.

Are all the fish here?

The fish that dried up the sea are not here.

Sorry, this is very confusing.

The fish that dried up the sea landed on land before the sea dried up, and moved from one deep sea to another.

The dialogue and assistance between humans and aliens are almost exactly the same, except that in the last sentence, the original aliens used the dark forest, but here they use the deep sea instead. After all, humans don’t know what it is at this time.

It is the law of the dark forest, and Lanno has not publicized this theory.

After the conversation reached this point, the four-dimensional people fell into silence and rarely gave their own responses to human inquiries.

Although the other party said that he was a graveyard and dead, obviously, the real situation was not like this. In the original work, the graveyard asked the human fleet for an ecological ball filled with fish. He liked fish, and this should not be an artificial

Intelligent response.

"Will you attack us?"

"No, you are not a threat to me, and your resources are also meaningless to me."

"Then what should we do?"

"Get out of here."

The questions and answers continued, but the answers that humans could get were getting fewer and fewer, and the cemetery gradually fell into silence. The ring-shaped buildings that were originally shining during the questions and answers began to dim gradually.

Everyone felt that the other party wanted to end the conversation.

"You are as fragile as pieces of paper here. If you continue to stay here, it will also become a cemetery. Leave."

After a long silence, Lan Nuo finally joined the conversation: "Leave with us! Your mind can still exist in the three-dimensional world, and we can provide a body."

After a brief silence, the answer was negative: "No, we stay in the ocean precisely because we are unwilling to land on land. We don't need your help to be you. It's very simple."

Seeing this answer, Lan Nuo looked at the people around him: "Can you please step aside for a moment? I have something to say and need to talk to the other party alone."

If someone else were communicating with aliens or even higher-dimensional beings, such a request would never be agreed to, but Lan Nuo was obviously an exception. His prestige was high enough to influence everything.

No one believes that Lan Nuo, who has saved mankind countless times, would make the choice to betray mankind at this time. Just like no one knows why Lan Nuo, the savior, would stand up to save the world?

One by one, the scientists and crew members left, and the communication was changed to be transmitted through controllable high-energy particles, which could not be intercepted by others.

After doing all this, Lan Nuo sent a piece of data to the four-dimensional people. It was the understanding of high dimensions. It was the result of countless Lan Nuo's joint efforts over countless years, and most of the results were in this area.

The amount of data obtained in the four-dimensional space is large, but it does not seem difficult to understand for four-dimensional people.

"You are different from them. You were once a life in the sea?"

The four-dimensional man took the initiative to ask questions for the first time. Lan Nuo's four-dimensional model seemed to be quite complete. Although there were still some mistakes, many profound understandings were simply not possible for a three-dimensional creature.

"No, I'm just like them. To you, I'm just a paper person. The only difference is that I come from another universe."

"Universe? What is your definition of universe?"

"The four directions of heaven and earth are the universe, and the past and present are the universe. Of course, this is the oldest definition. Now we have the fourth coordinate axis, and maybe the fifth or sixth."

"No, even the oceans have dried up, so how can we trace the older oceans? They have already dried up completely, and there is no trace of their existence anymore."

"Yes, I understand this, and I also understand that the ending of this universe is a complete return to zero. If you cannot cut the universe and build your own small universe, it will eventually return to zero with the universe. But what I said is that I come from other universes.

It is not the fragments cut from the universe, but another ocean as vast as the ocean you are in."

"What you said is very interesting. It is very similar to the stories we tell young individuals. But what you said cannot prove anything. You are just a three-dimensional person as fragile as a piece of paper."

"If you need evidence, I can give you evidence, but I also need your help." Lan Nuo finally took the initiative in the conversation into his own hands, and the other party began to take the initiative to ask him questions.

"What kind of evidence?"

The space door suddenly opened.

"Did you do this?" The reaction of the fourth-dimensional man was much more intense than Lan Nuo imagined. He was very excited: "All the private universes we detected before belong to you? If so.

, then you are the biggest sinner in the universe."

Lan Nuo can understand what he means. Building a private universe requires depriving the universe of matter, and the universe's matter is getting less and less, which is an important reason why the universe is returning to zero. In the observation of four-dimensional people, behind Lan Nuo's space door

It is an extremely huge private universe, and he even suspects that this private universe is even larger than the existing universe.
