Otherwise, no matter how much we speculate then, itll all be meaningless, Tang Rui thought for a moment before responding.
Professor Tang, I noticed a set of data, that is, before the photon becomes two-dimensional, there is a set of data
This set of data is actually
In the following hour.
Tang Rui was answering questions from a group of scientists.
Some questions he could answer, such as those related to laboratory data.
But there were some theoretical questions he couldnt answer.
Because no experiments had been conducted, it was too early to say then.
As for theoretical analysis, it would require a long period of data analysis and mathematical deduction.
This was something he was not good at and found most bothersome.
Therefore, he decided to publish the results of this experiment.
Letting these physicists do the research.
Once they had new research findings.
Updted on BX0VEL.cmThen he would conduct new experiments. After all, many hands make light work. Perhaps they would come up with a brand new method of dimension reduction, and he could just pick up the ready-made results.
After the conference, Tang Rui left the research base.
He had been researching all this time and felt a bit dizzy.
So, he wanted to rest for a while.
Just in time, there was a new round of construction happening in the country, not just domestically, but globally.
The Global Vacuum Magnetic Levitation Rail Network Plan.
As a construction fanatic and being the only permanent member of the global community at present.
The country naturally had to work overtime to build, striving to remove a few words from the title of being the only permanent member.
Of course, this could not be done directly.
Ancient people knew to build roads first when going to war.
Without sufficient transportation convenience, even if territory was conquered, it would still be an enclave.
So, building a global railway network was not unscientific.
And the core of this magnetic levitation rail network was not our country or any one country, but Mogadishu, an important artery connecting the Earths surface to outer space.
The future would be an interstellar era.
Even though humans had not ventured out yet, it was possible to build spaceships for solar system routes, so this artery was really important.
Thus, connecting all countries globally with the vacuum magnetic levitation rail network to Mogadishu.
Would make material transport and communication very convenient.
Mogadishu would become a core city for humanity and would become very developed in the future.
Wouldnt that be a loss?
Not at all.
Not a bit.
The shares that were previously distributed had now all been recouped.
How were they recouped?
Before the fleet set off, they had already been bought back, and not even a penny was spent.
After all, it was time to flee.
Not to mention a piece of land in Mogadishu, even the capital city would dare to be sold.
But you cant just buy someone elses country, of course.
However, to speed up the construction of spaceships, it was necessary to unify the management of the space elevator, and taking back the entire area was a very normal thing.
Now, the documents signed before had become legal.
As for not acknowledging it?
the United States had been divided into so many pieces, yet, who dared not to acknowledge it? Doing that would be seeking death.
After glancing at the news, Tang Rui stopped paying attention.
He no longer cared about the construction on Earth.
What used to be considered black technology level techniques were now just ordinary.
Even if it was building a floating city domestically.
That was not a big deal.
Breakthroughs in materials science, along with new scientific theories, some technologies that were once considered fantastical were being realized one by one.
Tang Rui was now focused on situations beyond Earth.
The construction of the South Heavenly Gate space fortress was steadily progressing.
Every day, countless materials were transported to outer space via the space elevator, and some super-large module structures and equipment were directly sent to outer space from the Earths surface by electromagnetic anti-gravity platforms.
Overall, there hadnt been technical difficulties, and the construction was going smoothly, it just took a bit longer and cost a bit more.
But for us, that was not a problem at all.
Money?
What was that?
A joke for the sole superpower, when resource control was so tight, who needed to talk about money?
In addition to the South Heavenly Gate space base under construction, the Queqiao relay communication base and the lunar networking project were also progressing smoothly.
These two projects were even faster.
It was expected to be completely finished within three months.
Now on the moon, a super-large space telescope was being built, with just the single mirror surface exceeding 400 square meters.
And there were thirty-six of these super-large mirrors in total.
This super-large space telescope was being built to search for extraterrestrial life, or to provide early warning.
Tang Rui was not very concerned about it.
Currently, Red Lotus could detect conditions within a 1.5 light-year radius through the Lagrange points quantum light information collection device.
If a clear image wasnt needed, this range could be extended to 30 light-years.
If it was farther, then the image became too blurred.
Due to the distance, the information carried by light waves would be severely lost and damaged, so generating photos from the information carried by photons would result in serious missing details.
Even if Red Lotus used various algorithms and huge computing power to compensate for these missing pieces of information.
But the final photos could at most only show a rough outline and could not be enlarged.
Of course, if it was for some special celestial bodies in the Milky Way.
Like the star in Canis Major, then even if it was far away, it could still be clearly seen.
After all, the mass of this star was too large.
The light it emitted was also too strong.
This way, more information could be collected.
But for Tang Rui, these photos were at most a look at the scenery and not a big deal.
Because they were too far away.
To put it bluntly, even if Canis Major had already gone supernova, but when observed from Earth, it was still shining there.
This kind of information delayed by hundreds of years, what was the point.
Not to mention stars just say you found an alien spaceship; by the time you found it, it wouldve been long gone.
Because the image you saw was from decades ago.
So, Tang Rui didnt bother using optical equipment to search for alien spaceships or anything like that; it was a waste of time, and you wouldnt find anything.
Master, Dean Qi of the Astronomy Department at Jinling University called.
Hmm?
Tang Rui was puzzled upon hearing Red Lotuss report.
He was not familiar with the Astronomy Department of Jinling University.
During the global search for a black dwarf star, Jinling University did contribute significantly, after all, their astronomy department is the first in Asia, and a large portion of the countrys astronomical talent was trained there.
When he launched the space telescope, he also cooperated with them, asking some questions.
Once the black dwarf star issue was resolved.
He gave them a part of the secondary usage rights to the space telescope, allowing them to conduct research.
After all, aside from its early warning function, the space telescope was of no use to him.
He didnt study astronomical problems.
But now they were calling, could it be they had discovered something?
Dean Qi, hello.
Academician Tang, Im sorry to disturb you, but theres a matter that requires the primary access to the space telescope.
Whats the matter? Tang Rui asked curiously.
Secondary access only allowed the use of the space telescope, not the ability to move and adjust its orbit.
But primary access allowed that, however, this access was only held by him and Red Lotus, and could not be given to outsiders.
Sky Eye has detected a repetitive signal with a logical pattern, originating from a few light-years away in the cosmic void.
Normally, the cosmic void, where no star system exists, should not emit such a signal.
So, we suspected there was something unusual about that area. Dean Qi didnt keep it secret and directly informed Tang Rui of the situation.
Hmm?
Was this the discovery of an extraterrestrial civilization?
Okay, access has been granted, you can now adjust the orbit of the space telescope.
Thank you very much, Ill get busy then.
Alright, goodbye.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Rui immediately had Red Lotus display the real-time image from the space telescope.
He also wanted to know what was happening..
