Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

238: A dimensional reduction attack? Sorry, I can ascend to a higher dimension!Looking at the Two-Dimensional Foil encapsulation card in Lu Chen’s hand, as thin as a cicada’s wing and shimmering with a dreamlike radiance, everyone in the entire laboratory didn’t even dare to breathe.

It felt like a group of primitivesSurround a nuclear bomb counting down. Even without understanding the principle, the fear stemming from biological instinct still made everyone’s hair stand on end.

“This… this is the legendary Two-Dimensional Foil?”

Although ’War Wolf’ was a rough man and didn’t understand profound physics, he could feel the terrifying aura contained within that thing. He subconsciously pulled his neck back and asked in a dry voice, “Commander Lu, if this thing is thrown out, can it really flatten that… Star Devourer?”

“Flatten?”

Lu Chen smiled and casually tossed the card, which was capable of destroying the Solar System, scaring the surrounding Old Academicians into near cardiac arrest.

“No, that’s not accurate. It should be said that it turns them from ’three-dimensional’ to ’two-dimensional,’ from ’living beings’ to ’dead pictures.’”

He put the card away again, his gaze sweeping across the room, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.

“But, has everyone considered a question?”

“We have a spear that can stab the enemy to death. But what if the enemy also has the same spear, or even a sharper one? How do we defend ourselves?”

As soon as this question was posed, the scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Yes, how to defend?

Dimensionality reduction strikes are irreversible law weapons. Once space begins to collapse, not even the speed of light can escape. Any existing energy shields or armor are as ridiculous as air in the face of dimensional collapse.

“Are we just waiting for death?” Qingying bit her lip, her face pale.

“In a three-dimensional world, yes, you can only wait for death.”

Lu Chen walked to the holographic console, placing his hands on the tabletop, a crazy glint flashing in his dark eyes.

“But who said we have to stay in the three-dimensional world and take a beating?”

“Dimensions can not only be reduced, but also ascended.”

“Ascend… ascend dimensions?!”

All the scientists present exclaimed. This concept had existed in theoretical physics for a long time, but no one ever believed it was feasible. Elevating a macroscopic object from three dimensions to four? The energy and technology required would be astronomical!

“Exactly, dimensional ascension.”

Lu Chen snapped his fingers, and a complex geometric model instantly appeared on the holographic screen.

“Imagine an ant crawling on a piece of paper. Facing the paper that is about to curl and burn, no matter which direction it runs, it’s a dead end. Because it’s trapped in a two-dimensional plane.”

“But what if a hand picks it up from the paper?”

Lu Chen’s finger made a ’lifting’ motion in the air, his eyes bursting with brilliance.

“When it leaves the paper and enters three-dimensional space, no matter how the paper burns, curls, or even gets torn to shreds, it won’t be harmed in the slightest.”

“Because it no longer belongs to that dimension!”

“This is what I want to teach you, the only solution to counter a dimensionality reduction strike—”

“Dimensional Submergence!”

“Now, everyone immediately enter the ’Dimensional Protection Pod’! We are going to conduct the first physical dimensional ascension experiment!”

With Lu Chen’s command, the entire expedition instantly entered its highest state of combat readiness.

Although filled with fear of the unknown, due to their almost blind trust in Lu Chen, everyone rushed into the specially designed protection pods at top speed.

“heavenly craft!”

“Here, Master.”

“Activate the ’Dimensional Anchor’! Load the ’Calabi-Yau’ space-folding algorithm! Target dimension: 3+1 dimensions (pseudo-four-dimensional)!”

“Energy output: One hundred percent!”

“Charge!”

“Buzz—!”

Accompanied by a low hum that made one’s soul tremble, the never-before-activated Dimensional Engine, installed deep within the core of the expedition, finally let out its first roar!

An indescribable, strange sensation instantly enveloped everyone on the spaceship.

It wasn’t weightlessness, nor was it overload.

It was a feeling of ’insight’.

Lu Chen, sitting in the captain’s chair, suddenly opened his eyes.

In that instant, he saw everything.
