186: Chapter 186 The Secrets of Quantum Mechanics

After a period of preparation.

Wang Moquan was somewhat confused: "President Gao, what are we doing? Why such a large-scale operation?"

"Finding the wormhole!"

"Huh?"

"Bring Monroe here!"

Gao Yuan said.

Soon, Monroe arrived.

He approached Gao Yuan wearing a protective suit. Since there was no air on the Moon, their current communication was conducted through smart devices on their suits; not only could they communicate in real-time, but they also had simultaneous translation!

"Mr. Gao, you were looking for me?"

"Professor Monroe, do you see what I'm trying to do?"

Monroe had a solemn expression.

"You're going to release the four-dimensional neutron and hit it with high-energy particles. I suspect there's some kind of strong magnetic field or something else here!"

"Do you think if there is one here, we can find it through the four-dimensional neutron?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"I don't know!"

"If there's a space wormhole on the Moon, do you think we can find the wormhole entrance using the four-dimensional neutron?"

Monroe's eyes widened instantly.

"Are you saying... a wormhole? The kind of wormhole that allows for space-time jumps?"

"Yes!"

Monroe fell into deep thought.

"If the wormhole is on the Moon, what does it have to do with the four-dimensional neutron?"

"Would a single neutron from a three-dimensional world exist? If it didn't, what would it do?"

Monroe thought for a moment: "It's unlikely for a neutron to exist alone because neutrons are unstable. Without constraints, a neutron will undergo beta decay, turning into a proton while releasing an electron and an anti-neutrino, and at the same time, it will seek out an atomic nucleus... Mr. Gao, you mean the four-dimensional neutron will also decay and then search for a four-dimensional nucleus? We certainly don't have one here, so the only possibility is a wormhole!"

Gao Yuan nodded.

"Pretty much, that's the idea!"

Monroe began pacing back and forth, muttering to himself!

"Neutrons, protons... using a particle accelerator to collide them, wait! Mr. Gao, I need to build a strong magnetic field here to detect all the products after the four-dimensional neutron decays!"

"Sure... and then what?"

Gao Yuan asked!

"The wormhole could exist anywhere, including under the lunar surface, on the surface, or in the sky! If it's on the surface or in the sky, we can use high-energy particle beams to strike it... but if it's underground..."

Gao Yuan was somewhat surprised: "It's possible it's underground?"

"Any location is possible! So we need to be prepared!"

Gao Yuan frowned. He really hadn't considered the possibility of it being underground. He had deployed so many electromagnetic particle accelerators, but if the wormhole was truly deep inside the Moon, how would he confirm the location once the neutron entered the surface?

"What if it's underground?"

"We can create a high-energy electromagnetic grid on the lunar surface... If the four-dimensional neutron decays and flies underground, we'll know the exact position immediately. Although four-dimensional particles have no physical form in the three-dimensional world, they still cast a projection under the influence of a magnetic field. By building corresponding upper and lower magnetic fields, we can know where it entered the underground..."

"And then?"

"And then? I don't know..."

Gao Yuan was stunned...

"Is there any way to accurately find the position of the four-dimensional neutron?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"If it's above the surface, I'm sixty percent sure, but once it's below the surface, I can only find where it entered... We have no way to confirm how deep it is below the surface!"

No...

This was still too risky.

He only had one chance and had to determine the exact location. The Moon's radius was over 1,700 kilometers.

With such a vast range, the success rate was too low.

"Is there any other way?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"A way..."

Monroe fell into deep thought. At this moment, Wang Moquan spoke from the side: "If we could unfold the four-dimensional neutron... into a three-dimensional world, the target would be much larger."

Unfold a seed?

No, after decay, it's a proton.

Gao Yuan remembered a famous novel that described a civilization unfolding a three-dimensional proton into two dimensions.

Now Wang Moquan was suggesting unfolding a four-dimensional neutron into three dimensions...

Was this possible?

"In terms of composition, there's no difference between three-dimensional and four-dimensional micro-particles. The only difference is..."

Speaking of this, Monroe suddenly looked excited.

"President Gao, I've got it... I've got it!"

"Got what?"

"We were all wrong! Haha, I'm going to verify it right now!"

Gao Yuan watched Monroe run back to the Laboratory like a madman. He was a bit dazed. What was going on?

Scientists were all like this—crazy, acting on every whim. Gao Yuan felt quite helpless.

He planned to break down these difficult problems and input them into kyushu xiaoyao zhi.

Gao Yuan returned to the battleship and had just accessed the system; the Optical Quantum Computer was breaking down his problems.

Suddenly, Monroe's voice came through the communication device.

"Mr. Gao, I know! I know, haha!"

Gao Yuan was startled...

He immediately went to find Monroe.

Monroe was looking at various test results on the screen.

"Mr. Gao, we were all wrong. What four-dimensional neutron... In fact, the microscopic realm has always been four-dimensional. What we observe is only a tiny fraction of it... In Microscopic Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Entanglement, and the Double-slit Experiment... they are all just external manifestations of Four-dimensional Space!"

"The reason we couldn't figure it out is that we were using three-dimensional theories to explain Four-dimensional Space, which is impossible in itself! I previously succeeded in deriving the fourth-dimensional coordinate theory by observing the four-dimensional neutron. Now, applying this coordinate system to previous Microscopic Physics... it all matches up! It matches up! Look at the results, Mr. Gao, don't they match?"

Hearing Monroe's words, the other scientists were all excited...

Tears welled in Wang Moquan's eyes: "We are entering a new era, haha!"

"Microscopic Physics has finally achieved a breakthrough... Quantum Mechanics now has formulas that can be applied!"

"The microscopic world is four-dimensional, haha! No wonder the microscopic world is so similar to the cosmic model. If Microscopic Physics is four-dimensional, then is the universe four-dimensional too?"

"Definitely! The world we observe is not the real world at all, but a projection!"

Gao Yuan watched the group of scientists begin their celebration...

Only he was somewhat bewildered.

"Director Wang, can this breakthrough help us find the wormhole?"

"Absolutely! These verification results have brought us right to the threshold of Four-dimensional Space. We've studied Microscopic Physics for so many years, and now we finally have a unified, authoritative explanation! This breakthrough has advanced our understanding of Four-dimensional Space by more than half. Now, I don't think unfolding that four-dimensional neutron will be difficult at all!"
