187: Chapter 187 The Wormhole Has Been Found

Gao Yuan gave a bitter smile.

"Director Wang, I know a bit about quantum mechanics, but how is it connected to Four-dimensional Space?"

"The quantum characteristics exhibited in microscopic physics are not actually real; they are merely projections of Four-dimensional Space! For example, a straight line in three-dimensional space might be a single point in Four-dimensional Space. The instantaneous communication effect in quantum entanglement is a characteristic of Four-dimensional Space. No matter how far apart things are in three-dimensional space, they can be folded into a single point in Four-dimensional Space. Quantum entanglement is simply the projection of microscopic particles moving in Four-dimensional Space as seen in the three-dimensional world."

"For instance, in the double-slit experiment, the two slits in three-dimensional space can overlap in Four-dimensional Space. That is to say, a particle could potentially pass through both slits of three-dimensional space simultaneously in Four-dimensional Space, interfering with itself..."

Gao Yuan waved his hand.

"Director Wang, let's not talk about that! Just tell me, can we find the wormhole now?"

"Of course! And I have another idea. That four-dimensional neutron is actually the complete neutron, whereas all the microscopic particles we observed before were not complete; they were all parts of a neutron! Or put it this way: perhaps an object's space contains a neutron, a proton, an electron... Elementary particles have wave-particle duality. We didn't understand this before and just treated it as an objective law. In reality, if elementary particles are explained at the four-dimensional level, it's quite simple. Wave motion is actually a continuous projection, while particle characteristics are the projections of particle transitions!"

"What?"

"That's not important. Let me tell you my method. A four-dimensional neutron is a complete neutron, so it's simple. We don't need to do anything. Once this four-dimensional neutron is released and undergoes beta decay, any movement will produce a decaying beta wave. We only need to detect where the beta wave finally disappears—that's the final destination of this neutron... no, the proton. That place must be where the wormhole is located! Even if the wormhole isn't on the Moon, it doesn't matter; we can track the beta wave, whether it goes to Earth or Mars... This will require the help of President Gao's Space Warship detection system!"

Although Gao Yuan didn't quite understand...

But seeing Wang Moquan speak with such certainty, he felt much more at ease.

"Then let's give it a try!"

"Alright!"

...

Gao Yuan boarded the Space Warship and turned on the monitoring system to begin tracking potential beta waves. The lunar surface was a silent and desolate world, with lunar dust floating gently in the microgravity environment as if recounting a millennium of solitude. However, in this seemingly dead world, the scientists harbored infinite longing for the unknown.

A group of scientists looked solemn; this was the first time four-dimensional laws were being put into practical application.

As Gao Yuan gave the signal to start.

Munroe carefully opened the black box containing the four-dimensional neutron.

He deactivated the force field inside the black box, and the neutron slowly floated out. Without external force or decay, no system would be able to detect it.

Gao Yuan was a bit nervous...

The ship's monitoring system was running at full capacity. The high-energy electromagnetic particle accelerators built previously were actually useless now.

The surroundings were frighteningly quiet.

Gao Yuan stared intently at the warship's monitoring system when it suddenly reacted.

A newly generated beta wave appeared on the screen...

Almost instantly, the beta wave vanished.

Gao Yuan was stunned...

That's it?

Yes, it was that fast. Beta waves also travel at the speed of light, but fortunately, the warship had already captured that beta wave.

Behind Gao Yuan, Munroe looked at the screen with an excited expression...

Then he began to operate it...

Soon, the place where the beta wave disappeared was found: one thousand meters beneath the lunar surface.

With the location confirmed, Gao Yuan's heart began to race.

Was the wormhole really there?

The four-dimensional neutron had vanished, but the good news was that research into Four-dimensional Space on Earth had taken a huge step forward. Even without the four-dimensional neutron, there was a high probability of a breakthrough in the future!

Gao Yuan immediately arranged for equipment to begin excavating the lunar surface.

A depth of one thousand meters wasn't too much trouble.

In just half a day, a tunnel was constructed. With the participation of Construction Insects, a building was also erected on the lunar surface to mark the location of the wormhole.

"The tunnel is finished! President Gao, do you want to go down and take a look?"

"Mm..."

"If there really is a wormhole, how do we open it? And how do we use it?"

Gao Yuan calculated in his mind that opening a wormhole required Antimatter and Dark Matter.

Gao Qiu had given him some Dark Matter before, and he could produce Antimatter himself.

Gao Yuan was only confirming the existence of the wormhole for now. If he wanted to travel through it, he would certainly need to be fully prepared.

Gao Yuan brought the box of Dark Matter to the front of the wormhole.

Everything here looked normal, like a perfectly ordinary lunar cave.

Gao Yuan led the scientists to the front of the wormhole.

They had observed his entire experiment, and they would surely be inspired, which would be of great benefit to their breakthrough in Four-dimensional Space technology!

Gao Yuan took a deep breath and opened the Dark Matter box.

He slowly placed it at the 'wormhole' location.

Various instruments were ready to monitor everything happening here.

Gao Yuan also watched from a distance...

Soon, Gao Yuan felt the surroundings become somewhat illusory, and space began to distort.

The scientists watched all this in shock.

"It's changing, it's changing..."

"There's space—deformed, distorted space!"

"There really is a wormhole here!"

"There really is a wormhole!"

Seeing this scene, Gao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The wormhole was found; Gao Yuan had to plan his next move.

This was the wormhole through which the advanced civilization came to Earth. Now that Gao Yuan had found it, he didn't know if they would still come.

Various instruments detected all sorts of strange cosmic rays, which were recorded for future research.

After the distorted space fluctuated a few times, the surroundings returned to normal.

It seemed that the energy released by that small amount of Dark Matter was not nearly enough to open the wormhole, but Gao Yuan hadn't intended to open it now anyway; he still needed to make some preparations!

Entering rashly like this might alert the enemy.

Confirming that the wormhole truly existed and could be used had already achieved Gao Yuan's goal.

He was very excited...

So he had to find Gao Qiu. Entering this wormhole would require support from the Future World. He wondered if Gao Qiu had won that war!

Gao Yuan had no time to rest...

Returning to the Storm Ocean Base, he summoned the Space-Time Gate and entered the Future World.

As soon as he arrived, Gao Yuan was spotted by robots and was quickly taken to Gao Qiu's office.

Gao Yuan took one look and was certain that this was the real Gao Qiu, but Gao Qiu's face was full of solemnity!

"Grand Marshal, why do you have that expression? Did you lose that war?"

"No, I won. A complete victory! Su Muyan is dead..."

"Then why are you still looking so grim?"

"Taking control was just the beginning... the real test is coming! Gao Yuan, you need to speed things up on your end!"
