The determination of the Celestial Palace's location is both exciting and pressuring.

It's exciting because the Celestial Palace is located very low, just over 4,000 meters above ground.

This kind of altitude is accessible not just for military aircraft.

Even civilian helicopters can easily reach it.

This undoubtedly provides a huge convenience for sampling research; researchers can completely carry equipment, take a large helicopter to fly overhead to collect information.

Probe sampling detection seems very convenient, but due to size and weight issues, many instruments cannot be transported by the probe.

In certain special situations, if necessary.

Letting a helicopter fly near the Celestial Palace and then having Wei Fan directly lead people to it would also work.

As for another reason for the pressure:

It's simply that compared to near-space, the difficulty of opening an anomalous space is much, much higher.

Those who understand, truly understand.

But there's good news.

Since the Celestial Palace can emit Y particles and absorb nitrogen, we can at least confirm that it's definitely not a gate-like connection with Earth, but rather some kind of Earth-induced fractured space.

The difficulty between the two is completely different; the former has no chance at all, but the latter can still be saved briefly.

It's like a VK with a three-piece set against a five-piece stone man; if you can control well, you might have a chance for a counterattack kill.

Refocus on the ground.

At this moment, the Y particles have stopped dissipating, and the winter rain has ceased as well.

However, the probe's imaging equipment had already completed its task earlier, transmitting back both the actual scene and thermal imaging of the locked area.

Well-acquainted with his specialty, Li Bai'an is swiftly conducting research with his team.

Over half an hour later.

He finds Lin Ziming and hands him a form:

"Colonel Lin, the latitude and longitude of the Celestial Palace have been determined.

East longitude 121°25′29″, north latitude 22°54′20″, which is about fifteen meters directly above us."

Lin Ziming takes the report from Li Bai'an, glances at it, and finds he doesn't understand any of it.

But as the person in charge on-site, he still needs to confirm certain issues:

"Academician Li, is this measurement result accurate? Could there be any errors?"

Li Bai'an responds confidently with a smile:

"Colonel Lin, rest assured, this result is 100% accurate.

We concentrated on this 10.3-square-meter core area through repeated comparisons and calculations, using the unique aggregation effect of Y particles and thermal imaging.

Of course.

To completely determine the location of the entrance, we'll need to go up and take a look.

After all, the instruments the probe can carry are limited, and many things cannot be measured."

Lin Ziming nods:

"No problem, I'll contact the aerial team now."

Twenty minutes later.

An 18 helicopter takes off.

The Zhi 18 is a large general-purpose helicopter independently developed by us, with a full length of 23 meters, roughly the height of a seven-story building.

The entire aircraft can carry five tons externally and four tons internally, theoretically accommodating 27 people.

Of course.

If the passengers are from the Yuewen Platinum Author Group, the number of passengers would probably have to be halved.

The Zhi 18 that Li Bai'an is on is specially modified for high-mountain research by the organization, increasing internal load and space by reducing external attachments.

Therefore, on this flight, Li Bai'an has placed several electronic devices directly inside the cabin.

What?

You ask which mountain the research is being conducted on?

The Zhi 18's modified extreme flight height is 9,400 meters; you tell me which mountain that is?

As for why a military aircraft is used for research missions, don't ask, if you ask, it's military-to-civilian purposes.

Doodle-doo—

The helicopter's ascent speed is fast, reaching over 4,000 meters in no time.

Ordinary 4,000-meter altitude temperatures are about minus nine degrees, which isn't a big deal for northerners.

Such a temperature can be handled with just a down jacket from Hongxing Erke, after all, everyone knows the quality of Zhuzhou cotton.

Upon reaching high altitude.

Li Bai'an first uses an infrared thermometer to measure the central temperature of the target zone:

"Core area minus 56°, it seems there are quite a few Y particles here."

First, measure the central force field of the area, apply some mass models.

Density distribution is calculated by average, aiming to position the Y particles' exit to the 0.05 meter level."

Assistant Zhao Zhiming immediately responds:

"Understood, I'll prepare now."

A few minutes later.

A machine about four meters long and two meters wide is moved near the cabin door.

This is an electronic potential barrier detector, which due to the need for external connections to other equipment at its tail end, cannot be carried by the probe to high altitude.

As is widely known.

In statistical physics and solid-state physics, when discussing lattice Brillouin zones, it is assumed that atoms in the lattice are stationary at equilibrium positions.

But in reality, atoms in crystals undergo thermal vibrations.

This causes a certain impact on the electron's motion.

Since the mass of the atomic nucleus is much greater than that of the electron, its motion is much slower than that of the electron.

And since the electron's mass is much smaller than that of the nucleus, the motion of electrons and nuclei can be treated separately.

That is, only consider the Coulomb interaction of the nucleus on the electron, ignoring other interactions between the two.

It's equivalent to the nucleus providing an external potential to the electron.

Under the B-O approximation.

The multi-body system formed by electrons and nuclei would transform into classical mechanics motion of nuclei and quantum mechanics motion of electrons.

The motion of the nucleus is approximated as harmonic oscillation, which can be seen as a linear superposition of many phonons, with the quantum of lattice vibrations being phonons.

The many-electron system interacting with each other is described by the Schrodinger equation.

With the advancement of technological means.

This technology is applied to microscopic fields as well, no longer limited to crystals.

Such as Y particles.

Their electron state wave vector classification also fully complies with multi-body systems.

In other words, treating individual particles as solids, thus conducting potential barrier research.

Of course.

For most students unfamiliar with it, just knowing it's a very important technology is enough.

The mapping of the potential energy field is crucial to pinpointing the specific position of the 'entrance'.

After all, it's an anomalous space we're facing.

If you're not sure where the entrance is, even firing a missile wouldn't open it.

Because the two aren't even in the same coordinate system, just like your paper wife can only appear in a book, not reality.

Soon, the instrument gets to work.

Three minutes later.

An energy potential diagram appeared on the screen.

It's an image resembling the undulating hills, where most areas are light blue, except for the central part, which features a peak-shaped red protrusion.

Even Lin Ziming, who doesn't understand anything, sees this image and knows he's discovered something.

As expected, Li Bai'an looks at this image and claps his hands heavily:

"Confirmed, the entrance is directly 17.65 meters in front of us, with electronic polarization fluctuations, indicating it's a small vortex-like cyclone!"
