Chapter 62 Space Folding

After hearing Fatty's question, Han Yu thought for a moment, then silently took out a piece of instant biscuit from her bag. She neatly peeled off the biscuit wrapper and unfolded it, obtaining a square piece of oil paper.

Then, Han Yu folded the square in half along one of its diagonals, then opened it, showing the fold line to Fatty and Rou Yi.

Han Yu pointed to the vertices on either side of the diagonal fold line on the oil paper and said, "Look, suppose there is an ant that wants to go from this vertex to the vertex at the other end of the diagonal. The shortest path is this diagonal."

This was elementary school knowledge, and Fatty and Rou Yi understood it very well, nodding quickly.

Han Yu continued, "This is the shortest shortcut known to our civilization so far, but the Meteor civilization has adopted another method..."

Having said that, Han Yu folded the square oil paper along the other diagonal, so that the two vertices she had just pointed to coincided exactly. "I guess the Meteor has mastered the technology to distort and fold space. It can instantly reach another coordinate point in the universe by distorting and folding space, achieving a quantum leap. According to human knowledge, understanding, and common sense, our understanding of the concept of space is like the flat oil paper I'm holding in my hand. Space distortion and folding is actually a concept beyond our conventional understanding. You see, I fold the paper in my hand along the other diagonal perpendicular to the previous one. After the oil paper is folded, the vertices of the starting point and the ending point will instantly coincide. The process of folding the paper is actually the process of space distortion."

Han Yu's explanation was very effective, and Fatty and Rou Yi instantly understood her explanation of the concept of space folding.

A chilling thought.

Fatty pointed to the "tornado"-shaped deformed space in front of him and said, "Could this be a tunnel from outside the universe to inside the Earth!"

Fatty finally hit the nail on the head. In fact, Fatty's worry was also what Han Yu was worried about when she saw this scene.

Han Yu looked up at the area where the deformed space of the "tornado" extended. She found an extremely thin line shooting out from the upper end of the "tornado", directly reaching the top of the space. The closed rock at the top of the space seemed to have cracked a small opening, and this thin line passed through this small opening directly to the outside, extending to the sky. She didn't know where it extended further.

Han Yu glanced at the deformed flashlight and the light it emitted, pondered for a while, and then explained, "This should be the space warp after the formation of a wormhole. According to current physical theories, creating a wormhole requires a huge amount of energy, because a wormhole needs to distort spacetime. The construction of a wormhole requires distorting spacetime through matter or energy, which involves a very high energy density. Different wormhole construction methods require different energy densities, but regardless of the method, it requires far more energy than current human technology can provide."

The distortion of time and space is even beyond conventional understanding.

After hearing Han Yu's explanation, Fatty asked in horror, "I feel like this wormhole is like an Any-Door. Do you think aliens will come to Earth through this wormhole?"

Han Yu shook her head and said, "Probably not. Wormholes are extremely unstable. Its collapse is only a matter of time, and without energy maintenance, its instability will be greatly increased. I don't think the Meteor will continue to output energy to maintain such a channel."

Speaking of this, Han Yu suddenly realized that her knowledge was still too shallow in the face of the macro and micro universe.

Han Yu thought that if the "Fire Seed" civilization could already create wormholes, then it could create a wormhole large enough (large enough to transmit the Earth) to directly transmit the Earth to the sun, and the Earth would instantly turn into nothingness.

Then the threat of the "Fire Seed" civilization to the Earth civilization would be even more fatal.

But can the Meteor really create such a large wormhole?

Han Yu couldn't help but wonder.

Han Yu roughly estimated in her heart that if the Meteor could create such a macroscopic wormhole for transporting planetary manufacturing, the energy loss would be very large, requiring at least stellar-level energy. As a seed for the spread of galactic civilization, the Meteor would not spend such a price to destroy the Earth.

Zhao Chenguang could completely use the wormhole concept to threaten Han Yu, instead of using seemingly absurd means such as "extinguishing the sun" to deter humanity.

Perhaps what Zhao Chenguang wanted to show more was an imaginary deterrent.

However, there is still a possibility that the "Fire Seed" civilization deliberately concealed its true strength from Zhao Chenguang.

Rou Yi asked with some worry, "Then how long will this wormhole disappear?"

Han Yu frowned, looked at the wormhole in front of her, and sighed, "As fast as a few seconds, as slow as decades or even hundreds of years..."

"Ah, this... Will the Meteor come back?" Rou Yi asked anxiously.

Han Yu looked at the distorted space of the wormhole and remained silent, not answering Rou Yi's question.
