The Atom Converter, a bonus item found in the second mystery box, has a similar effect to the 'Mirror of Knowledge'.

The generation of material energy is derived from the atomic movement of the opposite phase matter, which is converted into heat, light, and radiant energy,...... And so on, atomic motion is the basis of all matter and energy.

Through the function of the atomic conversion instrument, Zhou Xing intuitively obtained the energy structure of the quantum entanglement phenomenon in atomic motion.

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which particles affect each other in a system composed of two or more particles, and no matter how far apart two particles with an entangled state are, as long as one changes, the other will also change instantaneously.

Using the characteristics of quantum entanglement, a pair of particles with entangled states are constructed in advance and placed on both sides of the communication respectively, and the particles with unknown quantum states and the particles of the sender are jointly measured, then the particles of the receiver change instantaneously, and the state is symmetrical with the state of the particles of the sender after the change, and the information of the joint measurement is transmitted to the receiver through the classical channel, and the receiving and amplifying changes to the changing particles according to the received information, and the unknown quantum state that is exactly the same as the sender can be obtained.

Based on this phenomenon, Zhou Xing designed an ultra-long-distance quantum communication instrument.

In the spacious laboratory, Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen, and a group of experts and professors were busy modulating equipment and proofreading data.

The holographic screen showed the face of a white man, and excitedly asked Zhou Xing for instructions: "Mr. Zhou, we have assembled the communication terminal here, and now we can conduct test experiments." ”

"Well, activate the quantum communicator and get ready for testing. Zhou Xing nodded and ordered.

Hearing this, the experts and professors in the laboratory were shocked and happily executed.

The field of quantum communication is one of the cutting-edge technologies of human society, and many countries in the world have achieved breakthroughs in discounted technology,...... , and so on, the world's most advanced quantum communication instrument is only about 1,000 kilometers at a distance.

However, the quantum communicator developed by Zhou Xing far exceeded this number at the beginning of the test, and the other end of the communicator is located in Denmark, Europe, more than 7,000 kilometers away from the capital of China, and the communication link between the two ends has reached a communication link, which means that the global communication field will enter the era of quantum communication.

The experiment proceeded in an orderly manner, with both parties activating the communicator at the same time and starting to communicate with each other.

In the laboratory, everyone was excited and nervous, and the experiment was progressing rapidly.

Soon, Liu Kai's excited voice sounded in front of the monitoring screen of the communication instrument, and reported to Zhou Xing: "Mr. Zhou, we received the signal and gave us feedback, the signal is clear and accurate, no interference, no delay." ”

Zhou Xing nodded, revealing an expected expression.

The communication instrument was designed by him himself, and after Zhou Xiaozhi's countless calculations, as long as there are no mistakes in the manufacturing process, success is inevitable.

Passed at one time, the effect is undoubted, and the experts and professors showed disbelief on their faces one by one, and their faces were full of confusion.

"Mr. Zhou, we seem to have succeeded?"

"Haha, this is good, it's the turn of the communication field to change!"

"Did you succeed? Lao Liu, have you confirmed it clearly?"

“……。 ”

The experts and professors were pleasantly surprised and celebrated with joy.

"Don't believe it, come and see for yourself, the signal is undelayed, extremely clear. Liu Kai gave up his place and looked at everyone and said excitedly.

"Bang", all the experts and professors ran to Liu Kai in a nest, staring at the communication display interface, and the European link communicator is now in a link state, and the signal is extremely clear.

"The earth is too small for the function of this copper whisker to be measured. ”

"Yes, there are all kinds of magnetic field interference in the earth's environment, and if you put it in the space environment, the transmission distance can be multiplied by 1,000 times. ”

"Mr. Zhou, are we going to announce this good news to the outside world?"

“……。 ”

The experts and professors were shining with their eyes one by one, and they were excited, venting their inner excitement at the moment.

The quantum communication device designed by Zhou Xing is different from the mainstream technology, and uses the theory of quantum entanglement, but the propagation distance and particle reaction far exceed the current quantum communication field, once this technology is popularized on a large scale, human civilization will completely enter the global quantum communication, and the speed and efficiency of information transmission will show thousands of times growth.

Global informatization, data, and Internet of Things,...... A series of large-scale projects that use data and information can be implemented, and at that time, the world will bring about another earth-shaking change.

"The technology can be published, but there are still some areas that need to be improved. Zhou Xing frowned slightly and nodded.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Mr. Zhou, what improvements need to be made?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, why are you not satisfied?"

“……。 ”

Everyone looked at each other and asked Zhou Xing puzzled.

The quantum communicator was almost perfect, the technology used had reached its limits, and they couldn't find anything they needed to improve.

Zhou Xing was silent for a moment, and looked at everyone: "If the budget is right, this communicator is applicable in the solar system, but beyond the solar system, I can't be sure of its efficacy, once we leave the earth to explore the vast universe, the delay limitations of light-speed communication will be immediately revealed, and light-speed communication will basically lose its meaning at this time, so we must continue to research, we must develop a faster-than-light communication method, otherwise, human beings will not be able to get out of the solar system." ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, the universe is unimaginably large, the closest star to the solar system - Proxima Centauri, α Centauri C, distance: 4.22 light years, which means that even if you fly at the speed of light, it will take 4.22 years.

At such a long distance, can the quantum communicator work?

"Mr. Zhou, in which direction should it be improved? The quantum entanglement effect should be the fastest signal propagation speed. ”

"Yes, regardless of timeliness or accuracy, there is no other technology that can replace quantum transmission!"

"Mr. Zhou, do you have any other directions? Faster-than-light communication is impossible!"

“……。 ”

The experts and professors looked at Zhou Xing in puzzlement and asked one after another.

The upper limit of the speed that any matter can achieve can only be the speed of light, and faster-than-light communication leads to the destruction of the law of cause and effect, leading to the impact of the future on the past, leading to various paradoxes.

For example, if it takes about eight minutes for sunlight to reach the Earth from the Sun, which is the speed of light, that means that whatever happens on the Sun that you can or can't imagine will take at least eight minutes for that message to travel to Earth by any means.

If the speed of light is exceeded, everything that originally contained information will be deprived of all information, including mass, shape, state, and so on.

Distort space-time, or high-dimensional space?

The idea came to the minds of the experts and professors, but they quickly pushed them out of their minds.

It is impossible for human beings to control such technology, even if there are already great people who have described the theories of these directions, but even if he is a genius scientist - Zhou Xing, it is impossible for him to study this technology at this stage.

The experts and professors stared at Zhou Xing directly, waiting for his answer.

Zhou Xing's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he thought and said: "Faster-than-light communication may be difficult to achieve, but indirect methods may be possible. ”

"In what way?"

Everyone was stunned and asked in unison.

"Gravity can be harnessed, and the combination of gravitational waves and quantum entanglement technology can be used to transmit information. Zhou Xing introduced with a smile.

Hearing this, the experts and professors were all stunned.

"Is it okay in this direction? Is the speed of propagation of gravitational waves the speed of light?"

Gravitational force is not a force, but a field, and it is a four-dimensional force field that distorts the 'light'. ”

"Mass will distort space, the mass will not change, the gravitational field will not change, when the mass changes, the gravitational field will change with it, this change propagates outward in the form of waves, and light is affected by the gravitational field and cannot escape the black hole force field, can it be understood that the gravitational wave is faster than the speed of light?"

"No, the speed of propagation of gravitational waves and the speed of propagation of gravitational force are two different concepts, the speed of gravitational waves is equal to the speed of light, but the speed of gravitational force is unknown. ”

"Yes, gravity should be more than four dimensions, Mr. Zhou, do you want to use gravitational waves, or gravity?"

“……。 ”

As soon as Zhou Xing's voice fell, there was a 'bang', and the experts and professors present were in a mess.

"Let's be quiet, let's listen to what Mr. Zhou has to say. Liu Kai suddenly loudly persuaded his excited colleagues.

Hearing this, the laboratory was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Xing's face, full of anticipation.

Facing everyone's eyes, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, began to get up, and said: "Since light has wave-particle duality, gravitational waves also have wave-particle duality, gravitational waves are actually light waves, there is no doubt about this, but gravity belongs to the four-dimensional force field, and the spatial bending effect generated by matter in space, when the object moves in the curved space, it shows a change in the motion state in the right-angle space, thus reflecting the gravitational effect,......。 ”

"In the law of gravitation, gravity is described as a point-to-point interaction between any two objects with mass in space, when in fact gravity is not a substantial force of attraction interaction between two objects, but rather the effect of the physical properties of one object on the motion of another,......。 ”

"However, when we look at the speed of stars in some other galaxies in the universe, we find that the farther away the galaxy is from the core, the speed of its rotation around the center is not always attenuated, but has a speed similar to that of the stars in the inner circle, which is inconsistent with the conventional belief that the farther away there is less matter, the gravitational pull is also smaller, and the velocity should be lower,......。 ”

Therefore, there must be some matter in the universe that is not covered by us, and these substances are supposed to be "dark matter", providing an additional gravitational field,...... If you can find out the characteristics of this substance, or, starting from the gravitational field, find out the interaction between them and the gravitational field, and realize the gravitational resonance signal transmission, instead of using light particles as the carrier to transmit the signal, this transmission method directly spans from space, thereby shortening the transmission time,......。 ”

“……。 ”

The experts and professors looked at Zhou Xing blankly, and they were all stunned by his whims.

One step ahead is a genius, two steps ahead is a madman.

Zhou Xing's idea is both grand and peculiar, however, it cannot be said that this idea has no possibility of success, but the difficulty of realizing this technology is not ordinary.

The moving stars in the universe are endless, and each planet has a different mass and different distance, and it is countless times more difficult to unify them into a 'special signal' to realize the transmission function across galaxies.

"Mr. Zhou, your idea is very ingenious, but it doesn't seem to have sufficient theoretical support!"

"Mr. Zhou, our research on the gravitational field is very limited, and as for the 'dark matter' is an imaginary substance that cannot be explained by existing theories, it has not yet been verified,......。 ”

"Mr. Zhou, your idea is worth trying, but the difficulty of realizing it is probably a lifetime!"

“……。 ”

The experts and professors looked at Zhou Xing with complicated expressions, and said one after another.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded helplessly, and had to admit the fact that this ultra-long-range positioning communication technology is not so easy to achieve, but without breaking through this technology, human beings will not be able to carry out a real interstellar voyage.

"Human civilization has entered the interstellar age, and there are many difficulties, and everyone still has to make a lot of efforts!" Zhou Xing looked at everyone and said earnestly.

Hearing this, all the experts nodded in unison and expressed their agreement.

If human civilization wants to step into the interstellar civilization, it will face two thorny problems, such as interstellar positioning and communication, spacecraft speed, space gravity environment, and spacecraft ecological circulation system,......。 In all directions, human civilization seems to have returned to the Age of Discovery, and many key technologies need to be broken through before it can challenge the sea of stars.

"Mr. Zhou, you have done a very good job!"

"Yes! At this rate, within ten years, Xingyao should be able to take off!"

"It's so exciting, I couldn't even think of it before!"

“……。 ”

When it came to the 'Xingyao' project, the experts and professors were smiling and excited.

As employees of Xingyao Group, they are fortunate to know the progress of the 'Xingyao', and under the temptation of huge profits, the world is now almost the world's power to promote the rapid progress of this project, if nothing else, it is very likely that the construction of the 'Xingyao' will be completed within the time limit specified by Zhou Xing.

Looking at everyone's happy smiles, Zhou Xing frowned, and there was no smile on his face.

The 'Star Shine' project has brought the world's governments to a united front, and the time has almost reached the right time for the nuclear fusion technology to be announced, when the world will cause a violent turmoil.

At the same time, the Dalk Zerg has always been a lingering shadow in Zhou Xing's heart, and the astronomical telescope to explore their traces must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
