Chapter 122

Topaz didn't hear clearly what Zhou Xuan said at all, but her body was tense, she stood up abruptly from the chair, and sweat flowed down her forehead.

At this moment, Topaz felt like a child being scolded by a teacher in class, and her face flushed.

Zhou Xuan saw Topaz's constrained and nervous expression and waved his hand to signal Topaz to sit down.

"I'm not a devil, no need to be so afraid."

"Mm mm mm." Topaz nodded repeatedly and hurriedly sat down.

Bronya to the side could not help but offer a bitter smile.

Then, Bronya looked at the time on her phone and muttered somewhat worriedly:

"Why haven't they arrived yet? Could it be that they encountered some trouble?"

Just as Bronya was worried about the Express group, the light screen at the corner of her eye lit up at this moment.....

"Eh?" Topaz, sitting to the side, also froze for a moment.

She also noticed the text on the light screen....

【"Heaven is like a hat, the earth is like a covered disk, the four seasons are horses, and yin and yang are the reins."】

【Perfect flat world, boundless earth lying in the void, magnificent continent in fantasy novels.】

【Zaidiguo Society Megastructure: A Vibrant Alderson Disk】

"Alderson Disk?"

Topaz froze for a moment, seeing this unfamiliar vocabulary, and revealed some confusion.

If the Dyson sphere was a concept that had long existed in the universe, and one could roughly guess the Ringworld just by looking at the name,

then Topaz could not imagine what this so-called Alderson Disk was at all.

"Flat world? A vibrant one? Heaven is like a hat? Earth is like a covered disk?"

Topaz frowned, completely unable to grasp the meaning of these words.

Just at this moment, the scene on the light screen suddenly changed.

A disk appeared on the light screen.

Seeing that disk, Topaz froze for a moment.

Then she noticed that in the center of this disk was a fiercely burning sun.

"This..... This is a disk on the scale of a star system?!"

(Friends, you all say it's water. This kind of viewing flow is indeed prone to such problems. It's easy to become watery as you write.)

(So to solve this problem, how about.... you just order dishes directly? Tell me what you want to see, and I'll choose the one with more votes to write?)

(First give a few options: War Moon, Birch World, Hunter chasing Solin bugs, Eternal Empire in the center of the galaxy, Class-T star fall) force.

"This?! This is a disk on the scale of a star system?!"

The myriad beings across the universe widened their eyes, watching this shocking scene on the light screen.

Lying in the void was a disk on the scale of a star system,

with a radius of tens of billions of kilometers, filling an entire star system.

The thickness was several thousand kilometers, equivalent to the diameter of an ordinary planet.

On this huge disk were magnificent continents.

The area of each continent far exceeded the surface area of an ordinary planet, and seawater occupying a larger area separated the continents from each other.

The long distance between continents was no less than the distance between two planets.

And the islands scattered on the vast ocean were each nearly as large as the continents on ordinary planets.

On the outer side of the disk was a huge iceberg circling the entire star system, standing straight between the stars, isolating the world inside the disk from space.

Such a magnificent disk world that shocked the myriad beings of the universe just floated quietly in the light screen, floating between the stars.

"This is..... Alderson Disk?!" The myriad beings across the universe watched the scene in the light screen and could not help but widen their eyes.

A world occupying the scale of a star system, a megastructure larger than the Ringworld, a flat world,

this is the Alderson Disk.

A line of subtitles appeared on the light screen:

【Zaidiguo Society Megastructure: Alderson Disk】

【An Alderson Disk is a huge, star-system-scale disk, resembling the flat world imagined by backward civilizations, and can be inhabited on its surface.】

In the Herta Space Station,

"Are you kidding me?!"

Herta looked at the scene on the light screen and could not help but widen her eyes:

"With such a massive scale of construction, such massive mass, how does it maintain stability?"

"Simply absurd!"

Just as Herta had doubts, the voice of the Zaidiguo Society's research array happened to come from the light screen:

【"When a structure is too large and too complex, no amount of support can prevent it from collapsing on its own, or even collapsing into a black hole."】

【"Therefore, to stabilize these star-system-scale megastructures, it is necessary to use structures rooted in higher dimensions to stabilize them."】

【"This technology, called four-dimensional space engineering, has paved the way for many of our creations."】

【"For example, the Alderson Disk common in the empire."】

"Common?! Such a magnificent megastructure is actually common in the Zaidiguo Society?!"

"What are these lunatics building such huge disks for? For habitation?!"

"What would the ecological environment on this kind of disk be like?"

The myriad beings across the universe marveled repeatedly, their attention all focused on the fact that the Alderson Disk was a common megastructure in the Zaidiguo Society.

But geniuses like Herta focused their attention on the technology itself.

"Building structures in the fourth dimension to support buildings in the third dimension."

Herta's puppet eyes shrank slightly:

"Truly a genius concept."

"Just like a two-dimensional piece of paper, it cannot stand on a table."

"But if you fold it, turning two-dimensional into three-dimensional, it can be supported on the table."

"Although it sounds simple, completing this memory is no less than a miracle." Screwllum to the side shook his head and said.

"I am more curious, what exactly does the Zaidiguo Society want to do by building such a strange megastructure?" Ruan Mei pinched her chin and muttered.

Not only Ruan Mei, but the myriad beings across the universe also revealed curiosity.

The Zaidiguo Society went to great lengths to build such a huge disk, is it just for habitation?

The Ringworld was clearly perfect enough,

and the Alderson Disk, due to the limitations of the structure itself, the light of the star cannot shine evenly and warmly on every position on the surface.

The position close to the star must be hot, and the position far from the star must be cold.

And the Zaidiguo Society didn't seem to want to correct this shortcoming, but instead kept it on the Alderson Disk.

"Could it be that the Zaidiguo Society's purpose in building the Alderson Disk is not habitation?"

This idea popped into the minds of the myriad beings across the universe.

Just at this moment, the scene on the light screen changed.

A rectangular individual with a constantly changing metal shell, like a living thing, appeared above the Alderson Disk after a ripple in subspace.

In the central part of this rectangular individual, a pale green light flashed in the triangular structure, scanning the entire Alderson Disk.

The myriad beings across the universe froze, and then recognized that the individual floating above the Alderson Disk was the Zaidiguo Society's sociology array....

【"Arrived at No. 1007 Alderson Disk test site."】

【"About to launch a secondary sociology test project at this test site."】

【"Sector division begins."】

As the voice of the Zaidiguo Society's sociology array rang out, the scene on the light screen changed abruptly.

The land on the Alderson Disk began to shift, the seawater stirred up waves, and before long, several continents were divided according to sectors.

"Test site... No. 1007 test site?!"

Listening to the words of the Zaidiguo Society's sociology array in the light screen and watching the scene on the light screen,

the pupils of the myriad beings across the universe could not help but vibrate, revealing astonishment.
