Chapter 6 This man comes from a higher dimension!
The Trisolarans are not idiots; they simply don't lie or deceive. If he were to be secretive, the Trisolarans would never fully trust him.
Moreover, if the Trisolarans discover this now, it will create an irreparable rift between them, which will be detrimental to their cooperation and mutual trust.
Indeed, compared to the humans on Earth, Cheng Yuan felt that the Trisolarans were more suitable for cooperation.
When Cheng Yuan read "The Three-Body Problem" back then, he believed that, apart from a limited number of people, the humans on Earth in the Three-Body world were not worth saving.
Gathering his thoughts, Cheng Yuan didn't immediately reveal his background, but instead posed a question: "What are your views on dimensions?"
Mr. Cheng Yuan suddenly asked about dimensions. Could it be that his origins are related to dimensions?
The science governor stated, "As far as we know, there are eleven dimensions in the universe, but only three on a macroscopic scale. However, this does not mean that higher dimensions do not exist; they are simply confined to the microscopic realm."
"In higher dimensions, the complexity and number of structures inside a particle will increase dramatically. The complexity of a fundamental particle in a seven-dimensional perspective may already be comparable to that of a three-body galaxy in three-dimensional space; in an eight-dimensional perspective, a particle is a vast and boundless existence, as large as the Milky Way; when the perspective reaches nine dimensions, the number and complexity of the internal structures of a fundamental particle are equivalent to the entire universe."
"As for higher dimensions, I'm sorry, our physicists are not yet able to observe them, and I can't imagine their complexity."
"Clap clap clap!"
Cheng Yuan clapped and said, "That's a good answer, but unfortunately not the one I was looking for. Have you read the novel, read the comics, or watched the movie? If so, what are your thoughts on the characters?"
None of the Trisolaran high-ranking officials who came to meet Cheng Yuan were fools; they easily understood the meaning behind Cheng Yuan's words, but the meaning they understood instilled in them a deep sense of fear.
The Trisolaran leader said, "Characters in novels, comics, and movies are fictional creations of authors, cartoonists, and screenwriters; they do not exist in reality."
Cheng Yuan pressed further, "So, in your opinion, between the readers of a novel and the characters within it, who is of a higher dimension, and who is of a lower dimension?"
The Trisolaran leader was somewhat reluctant to answer, but reason compelled him to reply: "Naturally, the reader is a higher dimension, while the characters in the novel are a lower dimension."
"Mr. Cheng Yuan, are you trying to tell us that this is the true distinction between higher and lower dimensions?"
Cheng Yuan said, "That's right. To me, you are all in a lower dimension, because you are merely beings in a novel in the world I come from."
This is precisely the terrifying meaning that the higher-ups of the Three-Body Problem understood: they are characters fabricated by a higher-dimensional being!
If what this person says is true, then what is the meaning of everything they are doing now, and what is the point of their struggle to survive?
Their fate had already been written by beings of higher dimensions!
What eleven-dimensional universe, macroscopic and microscopic...?
This is the true distinction between high-dimensional and low-dimensional!
The high-ranking members of the Trisolarans in the meeting hall felt a long-lost sense of despondency and sorrow. Their rise and fall, their joys and sorrows, their life and death separations were nothing more than a few words written by a higher-dimensional being.
The room fell silent. After a long while, the Science Administrator said, "That's why you know so much, Mr. Cheng Yuan, and that's why you said, 'There were many people there, but you couldn't see them, and they couldn't influence what happened at the time.'"
"The 'them' that we cannot see are actually readers in a higher dimension. They are reading our story and are the 'third people' who were present at the time, but we in the story are unaware of this."
"Because we are just a group of characters created by a higher-dimensional creator in the story."
A deep sorrow welled up in the heart of the Science Governor. At this moment, he understood why those Earth scientists committed suicide two hundred years ago after their basic technologies were blocked by the Sophons.
He also wanted to say at that moment: Science no longer exists!
This time it's really gone!
Because everything they know is fabricated by higher-dimensional beings, built upon falsehoods, and these higher-dimensional beings can overturn the "truths" they discover at any time if they so choose.
The Trisolaran leader was also severely impacted, but not as tragically as the Scientific Administrator. He said, "Mr. Cheng Yuan, is the information recorded on your ID card actually from a higher dimension?"
"In the higher-dimensional world you came from, are there also humans, and an Eastern Kingdom?"
Cheng Yuan nodded: "That's right, that is indeed information from a higher dimension."
The Trisolaran leader then asked, "Then why did you end up here with us?"
There must be a reason why this person fell from a higher dimension to their lower dimension.
Cheng Yuan said helplessly, "I never intended to come here; it brought me here."
A ball of silver light flew out from between Cheng Yuan's eyebrows. The Trisolaran high command saw the ball of silver light spin rapidly and then transform into a circular passage.
This person had something hidden inside their body that they had never noticed during their previous examinations.
As of now, the instruments they set up still haven't been able to detect how this door appeared or how it rotated and grew larger.
Such methods were beyond their comprehension.
Cheng Yuan said, "This thing is called the Multidimensional Gate. It is my treasure, and it is what brought me here."
The high-ranking members of the Trisolarans looked at the circular passage that radiated silver light. Mr. Cheng Yuan was brought here by this thing. Doesn't that mean that this thing has the ability to cross between higher and lower dimensions?
"Dimension" refers to "universe, world". "Multidimensional dimension" refers to "multiverse, multiworld". This thing is called "Multidimensional Dimension Gate" and its function is to connect multiple dimensions.
These are truly treasures from a higher dimension. They have difficulty even traveling between star systems, while beings from higher dimensions are already traveling across dimensions.
The Trisolaran leader asked, "Mr. Cheng Yuan, why are you telling us this?"
Cheng Yuan said, "Although I come from a higher dimension than you, I can't find my way back now."
Cheng Yuan wasn't lying; after the multidimensional portal brought him to the world of "The Three-Body Problem," there truly was no way back.
The Trisolaran leader asked, "Sir, do you mean you want us to help you find the way back to higher dimensions?"
Cheng Yuan said, "That's exactly right. I won't let you make your sacrifices for nothing. I can use the multidimensional portal to help you resolve the crisis of your civilization's survival. This is a win-win situation!"
Cheng Yuan specifically emphasized "win-win".
"Your crisis boils down to two points: First, the three stars are unstable and you don't know when they will destroy your civilization; second, you are worried that you will be suddenly destroyed by an advanced civilization under the 'Dark Forest Law,' especially now that you are being threatened by Luo Ji."
"The solution to the crisis is actually quite simple: find a safe and suitable place to live."
"This is a difficult task for you, but it's not difficult for me."
Without Cheng Yuan making any move, the multidimensional portal transformed back into a ball of silver light, flew into Cheng Yuan's brow, and disappeared.
