Chapter 564 - The Truth - Part 2 (2/2)
Qin Fen just nodded and didn’t speak. This brain who lived through many years told them about the dimension theory, which was not at all an unfamiliar theory for a high school graduate of one of the top three high schools in Asia. The brain was probably explaining this for Chen Feiyu’s sake.
“A dimension is a collection. The most basic element of it is the point. A collection of points will form a line plane. Time is formed by the movement of the three dimensions. This would be the best way for humans to explain the fourth dimension. To put it simply, the fifth dimension is formed by the movement of the fourth dimension.” The aged voice paused a little, “When humans captured the time axis of the four-dimensional space — the Pandora’s box — the five-dimensional space was opened by the hands of scientists…”
Qin Fen frowned slightly. Was that the monster I saw that day in the Saturn’s forest existing within the five-dimensional space?
“Young man, I know what you are thinking, but things are not the way you think.” The aged voice stopped again. The projected image showed a huge land of plains and mountains. Nothing was there except for lands and mountain ranges.
“This was a brand new dimension opened by humans. Inside was a virgin land that was completely pure and waiting to be developed…” The aged voice was excited, “However, the human society couldn’t wait for a complete growth cycle of wheat fields because we were critically lack of energy resources. Therefore, this scientific group chose to open the Pandora’s Box. Scientists had laid their hands on the time axis, they had greatly accelerated the time in this vast dimension! When a person lives in there for a long time, he will find that only a very short while has passed in the world on this side. In this way…”
Qin Fen looked at the barren land shown through the projection. It quickly grew into a vast, lush green wheat field with the work of the automated planters and seeders. They didn’t need to spray any pesticides. It was a borderless green vegetable field; it was a borderless orchard!
A large amount of food was transported to the human world. They were then turned into the energy that humans needed, and they played a role in every corner of the society. An energy crisis that had almost destroyed the world had been solved yet again by this scientific group!
Science and technology started to develop rapidly again. The discovery of Atlantis’ ruins, the advent of the human near-space era; history was being shown rapidly through the images.
“What a wonderful Pandora’s Box.” The aged voice sighed with rich emotion, “How nice it would be if everything just went on that way. However, the scientists had neglected one thing — or I should say they realized it but they didn’t think that it would be that serious — Pandora’s dimension had a much faster time than our current dimension, so as time went on…”
“Evolution…” Qin Fen blurted out his guess as he looked at the projected images. Plant-feeding insects grew on the plants eventually. This was an unavoidable fact. The growth of various plants had eventually given birth to other lives.
As various insects began to appear, there would naturally be new evolutions happening. This kind of evolution didn’t seem terrifying, but it couldn’t be completely eliminated. Humans couldn’t afford to stop as they gradually started getting a higher demand for energy at that time.
A kind of insect appeared in front of Qin Fen. Its shape looked a bit like a bee, but it didn’t have wings like a bee. This weird bee didn’t feed on pollen or nectar, it fed on other insects!
It was carnivorous and aggressive!
“The time inside was changing too fast. The observation satellites that were sent would be out of service within a very short period of time. The scientific group couldn’t keep a close monitor of the situation inside. The only thing they could do was to build all kinds of powerful automated attacking machines and spray all types of pesticides in order to eliminate those insects.”
Qin Fen shook his head several times. If pesticides could actually kill insects, human society would have long been free from insects. Food chains would be destroyed without insects, animals would be gone, and humans might have died out as well.
“Yes, you are right in shaking your head.” The aged voice said with a bit of self-mockery, “You must know: the scientific groups actually knew about it as well, so they began to think about making remedial measures.”
The weird bee shown in the projected image had already grown to the size and height of an ordinary human. Especially the huge Queen Bee, which had grown into a size of three men combined!
In the evolution of this new dimension, it was that kind of bee-like insect instead of human beings that had grown.
“They had a relatively strong build, but they stood no chance against humans. As long as the scientists controlled their scientific and technological development, these creatures shouldn’t have been able to do anything big.”
“Yes, you are still right for shaking your head this time. The shortcoming of scientists is that we trusted the power of science too much. We have ignored the power of the physical body and the power of evolution.”
The projection on the wall continued with the story. The initial offspring produced by the Queen Bee was not much different from the ordinary bee, but as she consumed different kinds of food and, being unable to utilize the power of science, her body evolved again. What she then produced was not an ordinary monster that looked like a bee.
The Queen Bee ate a fish this time, and then she ate a human-like gorilla. The next batch of bee eggs hatched. It was a creature with the base body structure of a standing gorilla, it had the ability of a bee, and was covered with fish scales.
“Fish-scaled gorilla!” Qin Fen shouted out the name of the creature in the projected image in surprise. This was the mutated creature that he had fought in the Golden Triangle on that day!
The Queen Bee in the projection died. The new Queen Bee she produced had the ability to walk upright, but she had a huge ovipositor on her posterior. She had six upper limbs that looked like human arms, but those limbs were not as strong as a human’s body. She had strong legs that supported her in running. She had bee’s antennas which could sense the danger at a distance and allowed her to avoid it in time.
The process of evolution was originally slow but the process of evolution was happening rapidly within this dimension with special time flow. Generation after generation of Queen Bees died, and more generations were born and evolved.
They grew from reptiles to creatures that could walk upright. They had all kinds of different appearances. They could also mate with each other to produce the same offspring, while some of them had no fertility. All of them shared a common characteristic: to serve their one and only Queen Bee.
“The scientific group started to areally feel fear by that time, because the physical strength of the creatures went beyond their imagination. They started to attack the automated united harvesting and sowing machines, and began to destroy the pesticide sprayers that were built to eliminate them.”
“As a result, the scientific group had made a decision! A decapitation strike! All they needed to do was to kill this one and only Queen Bee.”
On the projection screen, it was shown that a group of well-equipped mercenaries with excellent martial strength went into this world.
Qin Fen watched and could be sure that he was not wrong with one of his previous guesses. The guess was… there was no alien! All of these were just by-products produced by human scientists during the process of helping fellow human beings.
