Chapter 241 Lord of the Rings
There are already more than a dozen objects of this type whose shapes can be distinguished by the telescope, and there are still a large number of objects that can only be seen in the form of points in the farther distance, and there are hundreds of unknown objects in total.

Like the "Lord of the Rings", they have no signs of activity, nor have they emitted any detectable signals. They also have one thing in common, they are closed four-dimensional entities.

Guan Yifan proposed to Generalissimo Chu Yan that he should drive a scientific research spacecraft to investigate the "Lord of the Rings" at close range, and enter its interior if possible.

After a brief discussion by the Human Federation Military Council, Guan Yifan's proposal was approved, and an expedition team of hundreds of people was formed.

This expedition team has three captains, besides Guan Yifan, there are also scientific officers Zhuo Wen and Doctor West.

Zhuowen is the chief scientist of the Human Federation and has rich experience in four-dimensional space navigation. Dr. West insisted on joining him.

Dr. West was approved mainly because he had the experience of studying three-body linguistics before setting sail.

The longest voyage that human beings have ever made in the four-dimensional space is the attack of the human federation on the water droplets and the pursuit fleet.

At that time, the Human Federation used space shuttles to approach and pursue the fleet through four-dimensional approach, and first sent a dozen scouts to carry out reconnaissance work.

Then the large shuttles were divided into three batches, and more than 6000 marines were dropped into the ships of the pursuit fleet from four dimensions, and smaller space shuttles were used to attack the water droplets.

But this time, the expedition to the "Lord of the Rings" took a much longer journey, and the research ship entered the fourth dimension from a warped point between the two spaceships.

Behind the people who set out to explore, the nuclear fusion fireball of the engine of the scientific research ship was burning, and as the power increased, it changed from dark red to dark blue.

The countless large fireballs in the more than 500 stellar-class warships and star destroyer heavy element fusion piles in the back illuminate this infinite world that unfolds side by side.

After gradually entering the depths of space, the sense of high-dimensional space becomes stronger.

Although Dr. West has entered the fourth dimension twice, he still can't help but admire: "What kind of mind can grasp such a world!"

Pilots use eye-tracking mice or voice controls while navigating research vessels, and generally keep their hands free to avoid touching exposed sensitive parts.

At this time, the "Lord of the Rings" was still a faintly visible dot to the naked eye, but he still cautiously drove the research ship at a very low speed.

Due to the unmeasurable extra dimension in space, the visual distance is completely unreliable. The "Lord of the Rings" may still be far away by one astronomical unit, or it may be close in front of us.

....
The voyage lasted three hours.The research ship has surpassed the furthest voyage ever made in four-dimensional space, and the "Lord of the Rings" still appears to be a point.

But the driver became more cautious, and was ready to slow down with all his strength and make an emergency turn at any time. Guan Yifan, who was at the side, became a little impatient and asked the driver to increase his speed.

At this moment, West screamed, "The Lord of the Rings" showed a ring shape, which was suddenly displayed, changing from a point to the size of a coin in an instant, without a process of gradually increasing.

"Remember at all times that we are blind in the fourth dimension." The driver said, and slowed down again.

The voyage lasted for more than two hours. In 20D, the scientific research ship has traveled about [-] kilometers.

Suddenly, the "Lord of the Rings" the size of a coin appeared in front of the sky, and the pilot used his eyes to control the scientific research ship to make an emergency turn, so that the scientific research ship that hit the hoop passed through the ring of the "Lord of the Rings".

From the perspective of the scientific research ship, it seemed that it had passed through a huge arch in space. Then the scientific research ship slowed down with all its strength and returned, hovering not far from the center of the "Lord of the Rings".

This is the first time that humans have seen a four-dimensional object at close range. Similar to the sense of high-dimensional space, they feel the magnificence known as high-dimensional texture.

The "Lord of the Rings" is fully enclosed, and you can't see the inside, but they can feel a huge sense of depth and inclusiveness,

From the perspective of the three-dimensional world, the "Lord of the Rings" seen is not one "Lord of the Rings", but the superposition of countless "Lord of the Rings". realm.

The surface of the Lord of the Rings seen from this distance is very different from that seen from a spacecraft with a telescope.Its color changed from golden yellow to dark copper.

Everyone on the research ship felt familiar with the old surface, and they remembered the destroyed water droplets.

Everyone further imagined that if this huge four-dimensional ring had a bright mirror surface, what an amazing sight it would be.

Then according to the plan, Zhuo Wen sent a greeting message with the medium frequency radio wave.This is a simple lattice diagram, in which six rows of different numbers of dots form a prime number sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.

They didn't expect to get an answer, but the alien's answer appeared immediately, so fast that everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

The information window floating in the cockpit displayed a simple dot matrix, similar to the one they sent, also using six rows of dots to form six prime numbers.

But the dot matrix in the picture is much larger, and the sequence they sent is followed: 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37.

The meaning of the other party is very clear, that is, they have answered their greetings.

In the expedition plan of the Human Federation, sending a greeting is just a random attempt, and there is no preparation for further communication after receiving a response.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the communication system of the scientific research ship received the second dot matrix image from the "Lord of the Rings", which was such a sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 1, 4, 2 , 1, , 5, 9.

Soon they received a large number of dot diagrams, the first six prime numbers were their greetings.

As for the last six numbers, Zhuo Wen, West, and the rest of the officers all cast their expectant eyes on Guan Yifan, who is a scientist.

The cosmologist pondered for a long time looking at the series of numbers that kept appearing in the display window, and finally shook his head in confusion: "I can't see the law of the last six numbers."

"Then assume there is no pattern." West pointed to the display window and said: "The first six numbers were sent by us, and the most likely meaning is to represent us. "

"The last six numbers are out of order, and different combinations keep appearing, which may represent everything, I mean everything about us"

"It wants to know our relevant information?" Zhuowen asked.

"It's more likely to be a language sample, so that 'it' can decipher and learn to communicate with us further." West guessed.

"Then send it the Rosetta system." Guan Yifan suggested.

"This needs to be consulted with the higher-ups." Zhuo Wen said after hesitating for a moment.
