183: Chapter 183 Why do we need to observe?

"It will... but it’s useless. I’ve installed many Laser Cannons on it. In the empty expanse of space, nuclear bombs and antimatter bombs can't possibly hide; our system will detect them from a great distance and then destroy them! Laser Cannons travel at the speed of light. As long as the coordinates are calculated, the opponent simply cannot dodge! So those weapons are useless. However, laser weapons and electromagnetic weapons are invincible against ordinary warships, but they are useless against the Vesta..."

"If the Vesta is useless, I still have the Pallas... the Pallas is even bigger!"

Gao Yuan wanted to ask what this had to do with the supplies?

"Grand Marshal, what are those supplies for?"

"To escape Vesta! Before Vesta is activated, all the miners must leave this place. They need a large amount of water and air. We are going to raid Ceres!"

"Ceres?"

"Yes, we only have mechas! No warships. Ceres is a major stronghold for the Development General Administration! Once we take Ceres, the Development General Administration will be powerless to turn the tide! Moreover, Ceres has the only fortress antimatter cannon. If we can't take Ceres, they might have a chance to destroy Vesta! The Fortress Main Cannon is too powerful! And Ceres is too close to Vesta, so we must pin down Ceres before we can launch Vesta!"

Gao Yuan was a bit worried.

"Grand Marshal, are you sure you can do it without warships? If you need them, I can mobilize dozens of warships for you!"

"No, warships are too large a target. Ceres was built as a fortress, and there are many defensive weapons on it. Destroying a single warship would result in many deaths!"

"I can equip you with robots..."

Gao Yuan added.

"No need. Mechas are small targets and agile. It only takes about half a day to fly from here to Ceres; it's not far! By the way, did you come to see me for something?"

"Of course!"

Gao Yuan had come to find Gao Qiu to understand the situation. Top-secret information like space wormholes was something ordinary people certainly wouldn't know, and it was impossible to transmit via robots. After all, robotic systems could potentially be hacked!

"Then let's chat for a bit!"

"Grand Marshal, I want to know how to find a space wormhole!"

"A wormhole?"

Gao Qiu frowned.

"Yes, a wormhole! I suspect a certain place should have a wormhole, but I don't know how to verify it or how to use it."

Gao Qiu's fingers began to tap unconsciously on the tabletop.

"A wormhole, simply put, is a temporary passage created using the laws of four-dimensional space. One sets an origin point, determines a coordinate system, and requires a large amount of dark matter to release dark energy to maintain the passage! To enter a wormhole, one needs the high-energy rays produced by antimatter annihilation to counteract the spatial compression inside the wormhole!"

"So you're saying that as long as I detect dark matter, I can find the location of the wormhole?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"It's not that simple. Dark matter is ubiquitous in the universe; monitoring dark matter is useless!"

"Then how should I find it?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"First, you must understand the laws of four-dimensional space. When I was creating the spatial node leading to your world, it was because we had once comprehended the four-dimensional laws. But this world has now been sealed, and I cannot explain it to you. However, you still have a chance! Because you have a four-dimensional neutron! But are you sure you want to find that wormhole? Actually, there's no need to rush. Study that neutron well. Once you have a preliminary understanding of the four-dimensional laws, you'll understand how to search for it."

Gao Yuan fell into deep thought.

He understood what Gao Qiu meant.

With the technology of the Real World, they couldn't possibly find a manufactured wormhole unless they used that neutron. But if he used the neutron and ultimately failed, he would never have another chance!

However, if he used that neutron to find the wormhole and entered it himself, there was a high probability he could quickly grasp the meaning of spatial laws!

There was a shortcut before Gao Yuan, but this shortcut could fail.

Once it failed, he would never have another chance.

The safest bet was to ignore the wormhole and study the laws of four-dimensional space step by step. When the time was right, he could leap directly out of the Solar System...

But here was the problem: how long would it take for those human scientists to research the laws of four-dimensional space? Even if they found a lead, would they truly be able to succeed in a Space Jump? And even if they did, could they leap out of the Solar System in one go?

These were all issues.

"Grand Marshal, tell me, what is the success rate of using the four-dimensional neutron to find a wormhole?"

"Eighty percent... but this requires you to be certain that there is indeed a wormhole in that location! If there isn't..."

Gao Yuan also fell into deep thought.

He only speculated that there was a wormhole on the Far side of the Moon.

But...

What if there wasn't?

Then he would lose his chance.

"Tell me how to search for it first. I'll go back and think about it!"

Gao Qiu sighed, "Very well, since you want to know, I will tell you!"

"The four-dimensional neutron comes from a fragment of four-dimensional space. As soon as it's released, it will escape toward the nearest four-dimensional space or fragment! By monitoring the escape direction of the four-dimensional neutron, you can naturally determine the location of the wormhole! At that time, use dark matter to activate the wormhole, and then you can use antimatter to travel through it!"

Gao Yuan committed this to memory.

"Grand Marshal, take care!"

"You must be cautious as well!"

Gao Yuan knew his decision would affect both worlds. He nodded with a solemn expression.

"I understand..."

"Go then!"

"Mhm!"

Gao Yuan returned to the Real World and flew his warship back to the Moon.

On the way, he began to analyze whether he should try to find the wormhole on the Far side of the Moon.

Since the Advanced Civilizations created the Solar System and the human species, they would naturally conduct observations nearby. Therefore, a wormhole must exist.

But Gao Yuan wasn't sure of its location.

It could be on the Moon, on another planet, or even on Earth!

After some thought, Gao Yuan simply returned to Earth, back to Muza, where he plunged himself into spatial physics experiments.

He wanted to know the research progress of these top human scientists.

Gao Yuan sent for Wang Moquan.

"Director Wang, are there any results from the lab yet?"

Wang Moquan gave a bitter laugh.

"Not yet. Actually, everyone is completely at a loss; we don't even know how to observe this neutron!"

Gao Yuan frowned. "How can that be?"

"Because although the neutron from four-dimensional space is also a microscopic particle, we cannot observe it directly. We can only occasionally observe its projection in three-dimensional space!"

"Theoretically, this four-dimensional neutron is a collection of countless neutrons. Everyone has tested countless methods during this time, but no one understands how to use it. President Gao, there is a proposal now: to dismantle the black box that binds the neutron and figure out how it's being held. Only then can we reverse-engineer the laws of four-dimensional space. But this is very risky. If we dismantle it, we might lose the neutron... because as of now, it cannot be directly observed!"

Gao Yuan fell into deep thought.

"Are you all trapped in a misconception? Why do you need to observe it? Objects from four-dimensional space, even if it's just a neutron, cannot be observed in three-dimensional space; you can only see a projection! You just need to know it exists and understand its properties. Why must you observe it?"
