It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"Received." Accompanied by electronically synthesized voices, the open windows of the office were quickly closed, and even the curtains were pulled down.

Under the watchful eyes of Lu Yongchang and Ling, Fang Xu stretched out his hand to pull away the chair in front of the desk, and sat down without hesitation.

"What should the core do?"

Without any nonsense, he said bluntly: "I have been on vacation for the past few days, and I have been thinking about this issue."

"I can't even sleep soundly thinking about that stuff."

"It's too dangerous!"

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's face suddenly changed.

core.

In the Academy of Sciences, this term is only used to describe one thing.

[Drawing] The two-dimensional core given.

Perhaps because he had just been promoted to a fourth-level civilization, he led the Academy of Sciences to start too many scientific research projects.

Under mental exhaustion, he subconsciously forgot about this terrible thing!

Seeing Lu Yongchang's serious expression instantly, Fang Xu sighed softly, and said in a low voice.

"More than 200 years!"

"Although this thing has not moved, it is always a hidden danger if it is placed there."

Lu Yongchang looked more serious: "You mean..."

"Lost it?"

Before he finished speaking, he shook his head again and again, rejecting his own proposal: "No, no, no."

"Let's not talk about whether [painting] has tampered with it."

"It's just that the idyllic civilization that has not yet come is not something we can handle."

"At that time...the consequences will be disastrous!"

After all, what [Painting] put forward at the beginning was to let human civilization wait for the arrival of pastoral civilization with this core.

Lu Yongchang didn't believe that a dignified seventh-level civilization could be so relieved of a small second-level civilization!

Once it can observe the external environment in real time, discarding the two-dimensional core will only bring disaster to mankind.

What's more, as a positioning target for transmitting information to the pastoral civilization, once the two-dimensional core is lost, human civilization will set up an extremely terrifying enemy for itself invisibly!

Fang Xu's face darkened.

He quickly understood the meaning of Lu Yongchang's words.

"Then what should we do?" He said with a gloomy expression, "We can't carry this dangerous thing with us all the time, can we?"

Lu Yongchang did not reply immediately.

He pursed his lips hard, thinking carefully about a suitable countermeasure.

But in the face of an existence whose strength far exceeds his own, all "plans" seem so pale and powerless!

"... Tell me, how about we go and study this two-dimensional core?"

Fang Xu's voice sounded faintly, gently plucking at Lu Yongchang's heartstrings.

Lu Yongchang, who was still thinking about countermeasures, subconsciously held his breath.

Fang Xu's words made his heart beat violently a few times.

"Study the two-dimensional core?" Lu Yongchang asked dryly, "I'm afraid..."

Fang Xu's voice became deeper and deeper: "At that time, [painting] did not prohibit this matter."

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It may be the arrogance unique to the seventh-level civilization."

"Perhaps in its view, it is impossible for a small secondary civilization to analyze two-dimensional fragments."

"But it probably didn't expect that in just over 200 years, we became a fourth-level civilization."

"So..." Fang Xu's eyes flashed with emotion, "Yongchang, this is a great opportunity!"

"It's only been more than 200 years since the death of [Painting]."

"For advanced civilizations, or for the universe, this time is not worth mentioning at all."

"If we can get some technology from the [-]D core and [-]D fragments..."

"The improvement of human civilization is incomparably huge!"

"Maybe, maybe we can take this opportunity to enter the fifth-level civilization!"

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's expression became more and more shaken.

Fang Xu was right.

Just the two-dimensional fragments and the two-dimensional core restraint device are enough for human research!

Not to mention the mysterious two-dimensional core and two-dimensional fragments!

Dimensions have always been a forbidden area that ordinary civilizations cannot reach.

In the universe, whether it is two-dimensional or four-dimensional space, it is extremely rare, and it may even not exist.

Without observational samples, all research can only proceed from theory.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of scientific research.

And now.

There is a great research opportunity in front of mankind!

Lu Yongchang had to admit that at this moment, his heart was moved!

But thinking of the tragic situation of the flagship of the Lator civilization, Lu Yongchang felt a slight chill down his back.

He didn't want Dawn and Guangwei to become two-dimensional "a piece of paper".

"It can be studied."

Lu Yongchang thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "But you can't study near the dawn star."

"Got to send it a little farther away."

Fang Xu nodded again and again. Like Lu Yongchang, he also knew how powerful this thing would be when it exploded: "Of course!"

"It's best to send it outside the Gliese 555 star system." As if thinking of the two-dimensional scene, Fang Xu hastily added, "In this way, even if something happens, we have time to react."

"No!" Lu Yongchang hurriedly shook his head and vetoed, "We can't be sure whether [Hua] has tampered with the two-dimensional core."

"Just send it to the ice giant."

"There are also buildings made by humans over there. If it can really detect the external environment..."

"The star gold mining project on the ice giant should be able to fool them."

Chapter 519 "Unpacking"

A month later.

Under the escort of dozens of asteroid-level [Golden Crow] battleships, a single small starship slowly sailed out from the fleet of [Dimension Strike Ships].

Considering the stability of the internal two-dimensional core restraint device, the Academy of Sciences did not upgrade these dimension strike ships.

To this day, the performance of these dimensional strike ships still stays in the category of second-level civilization.

Because of this, the [Golden Crow] battleship next to it that served as an escort could only control the thrust of the antimatter engine as much as possible—so as not to accidentally throw off the escort target.

Escorted by a group of large starships walking on thin ice, this small starship came near the ice giant.

In order to cooperate with the next research, the personnel in the ice giant has already been evacuated, and only some robots are left to perform production and mining tasks.

……

Inside the first laboratory of Dawn Star Academy of Sciences.

Lu Yongchang, Fang Xu and others looked solemnly at the huge holographic projection directly in front of the laboratory.

In the projection, dozens of robots are installing various detection instruments under Zero's control.

"What do you think it relies on to bind the two-dimensional fragments?"

Lu Yongchang did not turn his head, and asked Fang Xu softly beside him.

A thoughtful look flashed in Fang Xu's eyes.

After struggling for a moment, he responded in a hesitant tone: "It should... be gravity?"

Lu Yongchang was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "No, it shouldn't be gravity."

"Do you still remember the scene where the two-dimensional debris attacked the flagship of the Lator civilization?"

"The gravitational shield equipped on the flagship did not play any blocking role."

Fang Xu frowned, and retorted: "It may be that the power of the opponent's gravitational shield is too small, and the deflection effect caused is too weak."

"The gravitational shield generated by the fourth-level civilization is not of the same order of magnitude as the seventh-level civilization."

"It's possible." Lu Yongchang nodded slightly, "Although the test has not yet started, I still feel that this thing cannot be restrained and isolated by simple gravity."

"What would that be?"

Fang Xu withdrew his gaze, and looked curiously at Lu Yongchang beside him.

"...I don't know either, it's just a hunch."

Lu Yongchang shrugged: "Let's look at the test results first."

……

Time passed little by little.

After the various detection instruments are installed, it is the most critical step - "unpacking".

Like the two-dimensional fragments, the two-dimensional core is also constrained in a huge stable device.

In order to ensure the stability of the two-dimensional fragments, the core area of ​​the stabilization device is an ultra-pure vacuum area.

And this vacuum area is placed in a huge spherical shell.

At present, the first task of the Academy of Sciences is to remove the spherical shell on the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the stabilizer.

According to the drawings given by [Painting] at that time, the function of this spherical shell is only to ensure the purity of the core vacuum area, and it does not have many functions.

Therefore, Lu Yongchang proposed a dismantling plan—building a larger high-purity vacuum room, wrapping the entire core area, and then dismantling the outer spherical shell.

This ensures the stability of the device.

……

Under Zero's control, several robots carefully removed the spherical shell.

Although there are corresponding construction drawings, and the construction process of the device is all in Zero's database, the disassembly process still makes everyone in the laboratory sweat.

the reason is simple.

When this machine was built, there was no [-]D core inside!

As the spherical shell continued to peel off, the scene inside the vacuum chamber was also exposed to everyone.

In the core area of ​​the vacuum chamber, there is an extremely deep darkness.

"Where's the two-dimensional core?" Fang Xu's surprised voice sounded from the side.

"If I'm not mistaken, this black thing is what is really used to constrain the two-dimensional core." Lu Yongchang took a step forward involuntarily, looking straight at the picture in the holographic projection, "and Like the two-dimensional core, the two-dimensional debris stabilization device should have the same structure!"

"Strong magnetic field detected!"

The electronically synthesized voice interrupted the discussion in the laboratory.

Regarding this reminder, Lu Yongchang did not show the slightest surprise on his face: "Ling, control a robot to take a closer look."

The devices that generate this strong magnetic field are all built by Zero himself. What's so surprising?

But the next moment.

Sudden mutation.

"Oh!"
