Chapter 751 Space-Time Administration

According to current theories, if you want to exceed the speed of light in the classical sense, it will never be possible.

However, you can bypass this limitation and achieve the goal of exceeding the speed of light through artificial wormholes or warp engines and similar methods. As for when it can be achieved, it is hard to say, it depends on how the human technology tree develops. It may take 50 years, 100 years, or 200 years; even if humans do not figure it out until extinction, it is not surprising.

Therefore, Yannick did not expect to see these black technologies come out in his lifetime, but it is still possible to try something like the "Philadelphia Experiment", and maybe some new results can be obtained. Even if the rumor is false, there is no loss, just treat it as a warship demagnetization experiment.

The magnetization of warships is not a small problem. It is well known that general warships are built with ship steel. They are easily magnetized, and it is not easy to fade after magnetization. The magnetism will be retained for a long time. This magnetism affects navigation. Magnetized warships will affect the direction of the magnetic compass, causing its deflection to be inconsistent with the Earth's magnetic north pole, resulting in yaw. The magnetic compass on the ship must be calibrated every once in a while, and a "deviation table" or deviation curve chart must be compiled to ensure accurate navigation.

It may even have an important impact on the safety of warships. Ordinary mines are triggered. There is a chemical reaction device in its tentacles. As long as the ship touches the tentacles, the chemical reaction process will be started, the detonator will be detonated, and an explosion will occur. The magnetic mines invented by Germany in World War II can sense the magnetic field explosion formed by ships passing within a certain distance, without contacting the hull. It can be buried deeper, and the minesweeper will lose its function.

In September 1939, Germany laid magnetic bottom mines in the waters near the mouth of the Thames River to Hambel in the UK. The UK used the minesweeping equipment used to deal with triggered anchor mines in the past to sweep mines, but nothing was found. When British warships entered the sea city where the mines were swept, 17 warships were sunk by mines one after another. Not long after, the British army accidentally obtained an unexploded magnetic torpedo, figured out the principle of fuse explosion, and thus began the demagnetization of warships.

Because other countries have not yet developed magnetic torpedoes and magnetic mines, Yannick was not too concerned about the demagnetization of warships, so he took this opportunity to solve it.

After a while, an officer in charge of the experiment walked into the observation room and reported to Yannick. "Your Highness, everything is ready and we can start."

The subject of the experiment was an old destroyer from World War I. The researchers installed various electronic experimental equipment on the ship; there were no sailors on board for fear of any accidents.

Yannick gave an order. "Then let's get started." There was still a little expectation in his heart, wondering if the phenomenon of time and space travel would really happen.

"The experiment begins!" As the officer's order was issued, the power supply of the magnetic generator on the destroyer was turned on, and a strong magnetic field began to form around the ship. A green mist slowly surrounded the destroyer. Yannick knew that this was a corona phenomenon (a phenomenon of partial discharge on the surface of a charged body in a gas or liquid medium), and he quietly waited for the next "miracle".

Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed, dazzling Yannick's eyes. When he rubbed his eyes, he opened them again and found himself in a strange white space.

"???" Yannick looked around blankly, but he was a time traveler after all, so he was not too panicked. Did time travel really happen and take him to another place? But where is this? Heaven? Or hell?

The next second, a series of changes began to occur in the surrounding space. Many places rose or bulged out high square or round diamonds, and various colorful colors were rendered in the space.

When these amazing changes stopped, Yannick was shocked and speechless.

"This..."

The place he was in was actually the garden of the Berlin Palace. Wasn't the bench in front of him the bench where he often sat down to rest? Yannick reached out and touched a small tree next to him in disbelief. The touch of his hand on the rough bark told him that this was not an illusion. This was actually a real tree? This was too incredible, right? Did he travel to the Berlin Palace in an instant? Still dreaming?

"I hope His Highness Yannick is not scared." A strange voice suddenly sounded behind him. Yannick was startled and turned his head suddenly. He saw a middle-aged white man behind him. He was dressed in a well-fitting suit and holding an exquisite civilized stick in his hand. He was dressed very gentlemanly. Seeing Yannick looking back, he bowed slightly. "Excuse me, Your Highness Yannick."

Yannick frowned. "Who are you? Where is this place?" He could feel that the man in front of him had no ill will towards him, so he was not too vigilant.

The middle-aged man replied politely. "I am a special agent of the Space and Time Administration. You can call me Hans. As for this place, you can think of it as a virtual space."

"Space and Time Administration?" Yannick's mouth twitched slightly. "You mean you are an alien? Do you aliens look like this?!" In fact, no one has ever seen what aliens look like, and no one can say. In science fiction movies, aliens are grotesque and hideous. Of course, all aliens are extremely smart and are advanced intelligent animals. But this guy in front of him, who had a typical Germanic face and spoke authentic German, said that he was an alien and called himself Hans. Yannick didn't quite believe it. He would rather believe that it was a dream.

The alien named Hans smiled slightly. "Of course, this is not my real body, but just to facilitate communication with you." As he spoke, he turned into an ET with a big head and big eyes.

"Huh!" Yannick was startled, instinctively took a step back, and sat down on the bench.

The alien changed into several shapes in an instant, many of which Yannick had never seen or heard of, and he couldn't even find an adjective to describe them; in the end, he turned into a big octopus, waving his tentacles and speaking. "What do you think of this body? After all, there are such creatures on your planet."

Yannick was stunned. "Is the octopus an alien creature?" He had read in a magazine before that some scientists believed that the octopus was an alien species. There are more than 30,000 sets of genes in the octopus genome, and the octopus is an invertebrate mollusk. Such a large number of genomes determines that the octopus has a large number of neurons, even more than most mammals.

Not only is the octopus's genes different from most earth creatures or does not conform to the laws of earth creatures, its physiological structure is also very special. Having eight legs is strange, but what's even stranger is that octopuses have three hearts and nine brains (including eight auxiliary brains). Perhaps because they have so many brains, octopuses show higher intelligence than other creatures. Among mollusks, octopuses are the second smartest, but not the first. Octopuses can even rewrite their own genes to allow the next generation to adapt to the living environment more quickly; these make scientists believe that octopuses are alien creatures.

"These are all trivial matters, let's talk about business."

"Well, then you should turn back into a human." He didn't want to talk to a mollusks waving eight claws.

The octopus then turned back into the human Hans.

Yannick scratched his head and asked. "Then why did your Space and Time Administration come to me? Is it because of this experiment? It won't really cause time travel?"

Hans nodded seriously. "That's right. You backward planets have no ability to control space-time technology. If you are allowed to develop recklessly, it will affect the space-time order of the universe, so you have to kill it in the cradle."

"Does that mean those advanced civilizations can travel through time and space?" As for Hans's statement that the earth is a low-level civilization, Yannick has no objection. As early as 1964, Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev envisioned the level of alien civilizations, and divided the level of civilization by mastering different energy control technologies, also known as the Kardashev level. Type I civilization controls the resources of its planet, Type II controls the resources of its solar system, and Type III controls the resources of its galaxy. Among them, the current index of human beings is 73. Human beings must increase the existing energy production by thousands of times to reach Type I civilization.

"Of course, but it requires strict review and supervision by the Space-Time Administration."

Yannick asked tentatively. "Then do you know who I am? Is this considered traveling through time and space?" His soul traveled here, why didn't he see these guys appear?

Hans tapped the floor twice with the stick in his hand, and a huge virtual screen appeared in front of Yannick, recording his life before he crossed over.

Seeing Yannick's surprised look, Hans smiled slightly. "If this is the main universe, you would have been wiped out long ago. But you are lucky, this is just one of the countless parallel universes. I guess you have discovered it a long time ago?"

Yannick smiled bitterly. "After crossing over, I found that the history here is different from my previous one. You mean there are countless parallel universes, which means there are countless me? What achievements have I made in other universes?" He didn't know why he asked such a question.

Hans shook his head. "No, you are quite mediocre in most parallel universes. The greatest achievement is that you became a university professor in the universe you crossed over."

"..."Yannick was a little amused and cried. He thought he could do something amazing, but he didn't expect that he was just a mortal.

"It's almost time, I should go back too." Hans continued. "I came to you today to warn you not to do such dangerous experiments anymore. Apart from that, you can do whatever you want in this space and time. Do you have any other questions?"

"No." Although he had many questions, he didn't know what to ask for the moment; and he was grateful enough that he was not wiped out, so what other questions could there be.

"Goodbye." Hans bowed, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes. Yannick shuddered and found himself back in the observation room. There was a loud bang and a huge explosion outside.

"Your Highness, there was an explosion on the experimental ship!"
