Chapter 142 Subsequent Impact (Part 1)

After the small space debris was two-dimensionalized, the huge planets also ushered in two-dimensionalization.

These two-dimensional planets are divided into several ring zones. The outermost ring looks very bright, like eyelashes and eye shadow; the middle ring is grayish white and looks more stable. This is the planet's mantle, which is tens of thousands of kilometers thick; the dark area in the center is the planet's core, composed of rock and ice, and its mass is equivalent to that of a Ziwei star.

There are countless smaller ring zones in each large ring zone, forming a delicate structure. When you look closely, they become like tree rings, the kind of brand new rings exposed by a tree that has just been sawed off.

There are more than a dozen small circles near each two-dimensional planet, which are their two-dimensional satellites.

There is also a light belt not far below them.

That light belt is composed of countless individual small spots of light, stretching across the entire sky, like a pearl necklace of the Ziwei galaxy.

That is the two-dimensional asteroid belt.

When the star of Ziwei Star began to be two-dimensionalized, the naked eye could not see the details clearly, only the distant star suddenly increased in brightness and volume. The latter is caused by the expansion of the part of the star that falls into the two-dimensional plane. From a distance, it looks like the star itself is expanding.

The moment the star touches the two-dimensional plane, the part that falls into the two-dimensional plane expands rapidly in a circular shape on the plane. Soon, the diameter of the two-dimensional star on the plane exceeds that of the three-dimensional star. This process only takes about thirty seconds. Calculated based on the star radius of Ziwei Star, which is 700,000 kilometers, the expansion speed of the edge of the two-dimensional star reaches more than 20,000 kilometers per second.

The two-dimensional star continues to expand, and soon a vast sea of ​​fire is formed on the plane. The three-dimensional star slowly sinks in the center of this bloody sea of ​​fire.

The scene of the melting of stars is often rendered in works of art.

Now, the star is really melting, spreading its blood on the two-dimensional plane. This is the last sunset.

While the stars in the three-dimensional world are falling, the stars in the two-dimensional plane are rising. The two-dimensional star radiates its light energy in the two-dimensional plane, and sunlight appears for the first time in the two-dimensional Ziwei Galaxy.

The side of several two-dimensional planets facing the star is illuminated into a golden arc edge, but the part that can be illuminated is only the one-dimensional edge. The cosmic dust surrounding the two-dimensional planet was blown into the two-dimensional space by the two-dimensional solar wind, and part of it was soaked in golden sunlight, like the long flowing hair of the two-dimensional planet.

This is a rare beauty in the universe, which was faithfully recorded by human observation instruments in other galaxies and uploaded to the Federal Academy of Sciences for analysis.

The Federation responded quickly.

"The Ziwei Galaxy is falling from three dimensions to two dimensions."

A well-mannered young scientist stood in front of the leader holding a file and reported the analysis conclusion.

The leader crossed his fingers in front of him, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked: "Apart from two-dimensionalization, is there any other possibility? If it is two-dimensionalization, what is the cause of the two-dimensionalization of the Ziwei Galaxy?"

The leader was in a heavy mood.

"Based on our current level of scientific knowledge, the phenomenon that appeared in the Ziwei Galaxy can only be two-dimensionalization. The reason is not clear at present, after all, we only have the most preliminary observation data." The young scientist knew what the leader wanted to ask, and he shook his head, "If you want to know the specific reason and determine whether it is a natural phenomenon or an external attack, further observation is needed."

Two-dimensionalization is an advanced space application technology that crushes space bombs at the technical level. Enemies that can use two-dimensionalization as a weapon are definitely not enemies that the Federation can deal with.

So if this two-dimensionalization is an external attack, it will have a major impact on the strategic charter of the entire Federation.

The Federation may directly switch from strategic offense to strategic defense or even strategic withdrawal, turning the entire civilization into a wandering civilization living on spacecraft to avoid threats.

The leader asked lightly: "How much funding do you need?"

"This is not a funding issue."

The young scientist hesitated.

"I just want the result, give a number, don't miss the opportunity. In the next few years, the resources in the hands of the Federation will become more and more precious." The leader added meaningfully, "It will be difficult for your Space Technology Research Institute to get money by then."

The young scientist smiled bitterly.

He could hear what the leader meant. The leader wanted to give their Space Technology Research Institute a special treatment.

Times have changed.

In recent years, many research institutes directly under the Academy of Sciences have felt that it is becoming increasingly difficult to get funding. There is no other reason. They have all been robbed by the Lin Group.

The Lin Group's technology is self-contained, especially the technology in the field of ancient gods, as if they have been prepared for it.

They asked the Federation Lion for many reasons, such as developing new materials, developing new software, deciphering new data, recruiting new researchers, etc. If the Federation does not give money, they will not share the new things they have researched with the Federation.

Those things can only be researched by the Lin Group. They started researching things related to ancient gods hundreds of years ago.

The scientific research institutions cultivated by the Federation itself are more than one generation behind the Lin Group in this regard.

At the critical moment when the ancient gods are about to revive on a large scale, the Federation cannot dissolve and annex the Lin Group, because that will inevitably lead to a strong backlash from the Lin Group, destroying technical data, destroying experimental equipment, and destroying experimental results.

Therefore, the Federation can only let the Lin Group grow wildly.

The Lin Group even poached people directly from the Academy of Sciences.

However, the Lin Group has been sharing their new technologies as promised, and has provided products including but not limited to the Ancient God Edition Life Detector, the Ancient God Language Dictionary (the one Tang Xuan had proofread before), the Black Dragon Armor, and the Sub-God Weapon. There are many technologies or physical objects linked to the ancient gods, so the federal leaders can barely endure it.

In the past few years, the Academy of Sciences' funding problem has actually been tolerable, but it can be predicted that in the next few years, the Academy of Sciences' funding problem will inevitably intensify, and it is not even ruled out that some unpopular research institutes will be stretched thin.

Because the artificial god creation project led by the Lin Group is about to be launched, tens of thousands of sub-god belief memories will be produced by then, and the funds consumed will be astronomical.

The Federation will further increase its share of imports of rare minerals from the Maurya Empire. It is expected that the import volume will increase dozens of times next year, which is another dizzying sum of money.

This money has to be spent, the former is for force protection, and the latter is for resource replenishment.

Speaking of resources, the Frostbrand Empire has closed the export channels for rare resources, and only the Peacock Empire is still willing to sell them.

As long as the money is given, the Maurya Empire is willing to sell anything.

The Federation wanted to plunder all the assets of the Maurya Empire, but the Frostbrand Empire was also snatching away the assets. The two sides raised each other's prices until a private agreement was reached to determine one side's half.

This money must be spent.

Federal resources are limited. If they are lavish in one place, they will be constrained in another.

Funds for major federal agencies will be cut.

The young scientist hesitated for a few seconds and then asked: "One hundred billion? We are going to build a new super large particle collider, the kind that orbits the planet."

"good."

The leader's answer was very straightforward.

The young scientist's expression fell.
