I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)-Chapter 1601: Origin of The Universe

Four days ago.

Jiang Chen, who left the subdimension, returned to the mansion in the Fishbone Base.

He felt a lot of emotions flow through him when he saw the expanded Holy Shield in the sky.

He almost couldn't make it back.

He did not see Sun Jiao and the others in the mansion. After he turned on the interdimensional communication chip, there was only white flickers on the holographic screen.

After he realized the seriousness of the problem, he rushed to the Lin Institute and found Lin Lin's sister Lin Yi. After he learned that the neutrino tunnel was closed, he ordered the research institute to find the cause while he instructed Lin Yi to help Lilith build a new body.

Just like that, about three days passed.

"The reason has been ascertained. The plane parameters experienced fluctuations, causing the portals on both sides of the neutrino tunnel to lose connection with each other."

"Plane parameters... fluctuation?"

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded. "Plane parameters are just a broad term. You can understand it as a reference point. After all, there are as many planes as there are sand in the desert. To find the unique one in the desert, one must use something as a reference."

"Under what circumstances will the plane parameters change?"

"In theory, the plane parameters will not change," Lin Yi said.

"Then..."

"This is what confuses me the most," Lin Yi pursed her lips and then said in a serious tone, "In theory, even things from that world are moved to this world, it is only an increase of materials in the three-dimensional space. It's like applying different pigments on the surface of the sand, and it cannot change the structure of the sand itself, unless..."

"Unless?"

"It's just a speculation, you should have heard of M-theory, right?"

After she saw Jiang Chen nod, she continued.

"The universe is eleven-dimensional, composed of vibrating planes, of which the four dimensions can be intuitively felt by us. Modern physics believes that there are still seven dimensions that we cannot feel but exist objectively."

"So what?"

"A substance that exists in the eleven-dimensional universe...or should be described with another terminology. In short, this kind of substance directly constitutes the universe itself. If we are all things in a house, then it is what is used to build a house, like bricks."

"So, I pried a brick on this house now, right?" Jiang Chen said while he sweated.

"A brick is too much of an exaggeration, it should be just a nail-sized ash...Huh? Did you do it?" Lin Yi looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen fell silent.

After he recalled the conversation with the ghost in the void, he suddenly understood what the golden gravel he found in the subdimension was.

[You are really lucky. You have found something by luck that a higher civilization... known as the type III civilization of the Kardashev scale in your comprehension, is using and used it on yourself.]

[You will understand.]

Lin Yi reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"What are you thinking about?"

After Jiang Chen recollected his thoughts, he looked at Lin Yi.

"Nothing... Is there a solution?"

"It's not too difficult. You only need to modify the neutrino vibration frequency of the portals on both sides. Can you go back to the modern world? I will give you a detector and recollect the plane parameters over there."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief after he heard this.

If he was asked to return the mysterious substance, he would be completely lost on how to do it.

Although that matter was in his subdimension, he would have no idea how. For the past three days, he attempted multiple times to emerge his consciousness into the subdimension to touch that golden gravel, but all his attempts failed without exception.

However, there were new problems.

...

"Do I have to go back there?" Jiang Chen asked with an awkward expression.

"Of course, do you have a way to avoid it and transfer the detector over?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically.

"I might... it's not convenient to go back."

"Why? What did you do over there?" Lin Yi frowned.

"Ummm..." Jiang Chen's expression was slightly subdued as he hesitated before he finally decided to answer truthfully and looked aside embarrassedly, "...Before I left, I blew apart Mars."

...

In the end, Jiang Chen managed to return to the modern world.

After he sat inside a titanium alloy spherical detector about two centimeters thick, with a graviton shield on the outside, Jiang Chen traveled back to the modern world with his breathe held. After he quickly sent a message to Lin Lin, he went back to the apocalypse.

Actually, he was too careful.

Planets were not stars after all.

After the explosion, Mars became only a fragmented asteroid belt, and there was not any immediate danger to it.

Lin Yi collected the updated coordinates and re-adjusted the output frequency of the neutrino tunnel in the apocalypse. Lin Lin received Jiang Chen's text message and hurriedly opened the portal on Coconut Island.

With the simultaneous activation of the two portals, the bridge between the two worlds was finally rebuilt.

Jiang Chen, who walked out of the portal, was received by a figure that dashed into his arms and almost knocked him back into the portal. Jiang Chen hugged Ayesha and gently held up her pretty face that was covered in tears. When he looked into her teary red eyes, he only felt a tremendous amount of guilt.

It was the first time that he saw such a fragile expression on Ayesha's face.

"You promised me..."

"Didn't I come back?" Jiang Chen rubbed her chestnut hair, smiled softly, looked at the girls, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I worried you."

"Don't apologize to me," Xia Shiyu, whose index finger was wrapped around her hair near her temple, whispered quietly as she said with her eyes red, and unwilling to show the soft side of herself. "As long as you're back safely," she added as she looked away.

"Speaking of which, where is Sun Jiao?" Jiang Chen couldn't help being a little surprised when he didn't see Sun Jiao here.

Xiaorou, who stood by the door, rolled her eyes when she heard this sentence.

"Is brother-in-law a fool?"

"Huh?"

"My sister is carrying a baby in her belly. How could she be allowed to come here? What if she is too excited and hurts the baby in her belly?" Xiaorou sighed with a defeated expression on her face, "Qian Xia has already stopped her. You should go and see her yourself."

It made sense, with Sun Jiao's personality, she would definitely dash into Jiang Chen's arms faster than Ayesha.

"Did you really blow-up Mars?" Lin Lin, on the side, looked at Jiang Chen with an expression of disbelief.

"Yes."

"This...is too crazy."

"If there was a better choice, I would also like to use a cheaper, less pricey way, but unfortunately, I'm not a god." Jiang Chen sighed.

As for the impact on the Earth after the explosion of Mars...

These questions would be left to the future.

After a pause, Jiang Chen looked at Lin Lin and continued.

"Speaking of which, after blowing up Mars, it seems that something special has been sucked into my subdimension."

"What is it?" Lin Lin was slightly taken aback.

"It seems to be something that constitutes the origin of the universe, the things that exist in the eleventh dimension... These are all what your sister told me, and I am not very sure myself."
