Dimensionality Reduction Strike: the Collapse of the Order of the Universe

However, when the curtain of the universe was further opened, a more advanced singer civilization appeared. In their eyes, the earth and Trisolaran civilization are just inferior existences. In order to clean up the "impurities" in the universe, the Singer civilization randomly threw two-way foil into the solar system. This looks like an ordinary "thin slice", but it is a terrifying weapon for dimensional strikes. Once activated, the two-dimensional foil expands at the speed of light, ruthlessly compressing the three-dimensional space it touches into two dimensions. The sun was the first to be two-dimensionalized, and the blazing stars were reduced to gorgeous but lifeless patterns in the two-dimensional world, and their light gradually dissipated. The earth is also doomed. Mountains, oceans, cities, and billions of living beings have been stretched and flattened by the power of dimensionality reduction, turning them into an abstract picture. The glorious history, splendid culture, and advanced technology accumulated by human civilization over thousands of years were instantly wiped out. The dimensionality reduction attack not only brings destruction on the physical level, but also collapses human faith and hope. Previously, humans were still fighting wits and courage against the Trisolaran civilization for survival, but the emergence of the two-dimensional foil made all struggles futile. It ruthlessly reveals the huge gap between civilizations in the universe. High-level civilizations have absolute power of life and death over low-level civilizations, just like the judgment of gods over ants. This shocking dimensionality reduction blow runs throughout the story, allowing readers to deeply feel the depth and immensity of the universe, as well as the insignificance and fragility of human civilization in the context of the grand universe, and start endless thinking about the nature of civilization and the operating laws of the universe.
