Li Bai'an's pupils constricted sharply, his voice rising by several notches:
"What ion?"
"Beryllium ion!"
Seeing Li Bai'an somewhat lose his composure, Academician Pan's tone naturally softened a bit:
"You should know, beryllium has an electronegativity of 1.57 and an ionic radius of 31pm.
It's not only smaller than other elements in the same group but also smaller than alkali metal elements.
This radius can easily pass through the barrier of a cyclone, and its stability is exceptionally high.
Now we are capable of encoding beryllium ions, enabling them to continuously form a pseudo-material channel, serving perfectly as a classic channel carrier inside and outside the cyclone!"
Li Bai'an took a deep breath, rubbing his chin as he pondered:
"Beryllium, huh?
This indeed is a particle that meets the conditions.
If I'm not mistaken, Elder Yang proposed this hypothesis back in 2009, right?
But later, even he considered it impossible to achieve, so the project only lasted for a few months before being shelved."
Academician Pan nodded, confirming Li Bai'an's words.
The Elder Yang referred to by Li Bai'an is none other than the renowned physicist from Huaxia—or one could say the leading figure in physics today, Mr. Yang ZN.
It was during a government-organized conference in 2009 that Elder Yang proposed four elements for channel development over the next thirty years.
Beryllium was one of them.
But at that time, the ion encoding technology of the "rabbits" had not yet broken through; they couldn't achieve a preset state aggregation, so even Elder Yang abandoned it.
The entire project was tentatively carried out for four months, with a total investment of just over 3 million.
In his words:
This technology might take at least fifty to eighty years to bear fruit.
Subsequently, Li Bai'an curiously asked:
"So Xiaopan, how did you break through this barrier?
Logically, this isn't a technology that should be achievable at the current stage, right?"
Academician Pan smiled and said:
"This is a brand-new achievement of our teleportation array research team; we cracked one of the critical runes.
Of course.
Part of the credit goes to the disappeared comrade Wu Fan.
Because before he disappeared, he mentioned one thing:
Certain runes of the teleportation array are very similar to the light gate.
This led us to focus on these runes at the outset, rather than the teleportation array itself.
At the time, our high-dimensional Bell state integration observation ring confirmed a fact:
The nature of the teleportation array aligns with standard quantum teleportation.
In other words, teleportation must have a classic channel as its carrier.
Subsequent research revealed that one of the runes indeed possesses the effect of ion preset state aggregation.
It can encrypt ions into a channel, then somehow connect unidirectionally to the destination, ultimately receiving feedback.
This method of ultra-long-distance we still don't know, but it could be through the sky or the ground.
But in any case, that's a question of long-distance channel connection methods.
The phase of rune encoding ions into the channel has now been fully cracked by us.
It's like we have mastered the laser sword technology of the Jedi Knights; however, others can extend the sword to 40 meters, while we can only extend it to four meters.
But the super-long blade is for future research; the technology itself is now in our hands.
Although such runes aren't ready for mass production, constructing a simplified channel near the cyclone is not difficult.
According to our experiments, this beryllium ion channel can probably be laid to a length of about 800 meters.
As long as the channel can be successfully built, our particles can enter the cyclone."
Li Bai'an watched Academician Pan Jianwei speak eloquently, looking towards the sky with emotion:
"Damo Realm... Damo Realm..."
He was already eager to visit the Damo Realm to see how many technologies could be localized for analysis and use.
Lin Ziming, standing aside, recalled something and asked:
"Academician Pan, I remember you once said something.
Our quantum teleportation is a process of 'Dao creates one, one creates two, two creates three, three creates everything'.
As it stands now,
have we already broken through 'Dao creates one' and reached the stage of 'one creates two'?"
Upon hearing this, Academician Pan nodded and said:
"That's correct, the classic channel of quantum communication is a very critical research phase.
Now being able to construct an ion channel indicates that we have stepped into the threshold of 'two'.
Going forward, it's a matter of advancing progress; at least before reaching 'three', it is."
With these words, the group, under Lin Ziming's guidance, walked into the temporary tent.
Academician Pan Jianwei's appearance this time, as always, was exceedingly powerful.
Not only did he provide a solution to the cyclone issue, but he also brought a promising piece of good news.
By this time, it was already close to six o'clock in the evening, and the sky had long been dark, limiting the visibility of many observation stages.
Therefore, after discussing it among themselves, they decided to hypothesize about the channel the next morning.
The night passed without much to say, and everyone had a very light sleep.
If there was anything special...
It might have been because Academician Pan mentioned someone, then led to thoughts of the contents on the slab, causing Lin Ziming to unknowingly have a dream.
In the dream, Wu Fan in tattered clothes was being chased by monsters, nibbling on tree bark, living a miserable life.
......
The next morning at dawn.
Everyone woke up on time.
This time, Li Bai'an and others did not hurry to go airborne an hour earlier; instead, they made relevant preparations on the ground.
An altitude of over four thousand meters could be reached in the blink of an eye for the Zhi-18, so going up about ten minutes early was sufficient.
