Chapter 703: Technological Blockade
"Could it be that the quantum swallowing effect can increase the range of capture as the energy of the quantum increases?"
Thinking of the existence of such a possibility, Xu You's brain couldn't help but work rapidly.
In previous experiments, if the quanta were slightly larger in energy, the quantum swallowing effect would only occur when the distance between them was very small.
And as quantum energy increases, this distance does tend to increase.
As for the experiments on super quantum, due to the insufficient number of super quantum and the problem of time constraints, Xu You has not made much progress in this regard.
At this time, Xu You realized the seriousness of the problem.
If the super quantum of this alien civilization does have the ability to complete quantum swallowing at a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Any super quantum emitted from the blue star will be captured by this super quantum!
This situation is somewhat similar to the blockade of Blue Star's technology by Sophon in the novel "The Three-Body Problem".
There was no time to think about so much. The data on the computer screen showed that the distance between the two super quantum particles was still shrinking.
At this moment, the speed of our super quantum is only four-fifths of the speed of light.
If this continues, it is only a matter of time before we are caught.
What Xu You didn't know was that almost in an instant, the super quantum in Xu You's body appeared near the super quantum of the alien civilization and captured it more powerfully.
"Teacher, look, the distance between them doesn't seem to be getting smaller any more!"
At this time, Lin Shi keenly noticed the new changes, pointed at the picture on the screen, and said to Xu You.
“What… is going on?”
Xu You didn't figure out the reason why all this happened, so he had to carefully look at the data on the screen and analyze the situation of the two super quantum particles.
Xu You discovered that the reason why the distance between them stopped shrinking was not because our super quantum had restored its previous speed, but because the other super quantum had also begun to slow down.
Xu You didn't know whether this meant that the risk was gradually being lifted or was just a step in the capture process.
Soon, Xu You noticed that the super quantum energy of the alien civilization was rapidly decreasing!
In just a moment, this super quantum energy completely disappeared.
The whole process happened so quickly that no one could react to what was happening for a moment.
"Is there any problem?" Zhao Weijia said.
"No, it doesn't seem to be a malfunction. The other mysterious particle is indeed gone, and our super quantum is back to normal."
Wang Xiangwu was relatively calm. After confirming that there was no problem with the data in the computer, he made an objective judgment.
At this time, Xu You had already understood what had happened.
"According to the situation just now, the super quantum of the alien civilization obviously wants to use the quantum swallowing effect to devour our super quantum. And the only thing that can stop this from happening is the pair of super quantum in my body..."
Xu You silently sorted out the whole process in his mind and came to his own conclusion.
"It seems that the super quantum in my body has flown towards them at some point. But I am not sure whether it was protecting our super quantum from the beginning, or flew over after noticing the abnormal situation. If it is the latter, doesn't it mean that its maximum speed is faster than the speed of light?"
Logically speaking, Xu You does not think that it will always protect our super-quanta, because we will launch many more super-quanta in the future, and it will be absolutely impossible to protect them all.
It seems that it should appear at the predetermined position instantly.
"Can the speed of light really be exceeded? Or is there another way for it to appear at a certain location faster?"
Remembering that super quantum is a product of high-dimensional space, Xu You vaguely felt that it had other more powerful ways of movement.
"Four-dimensional space is not the highest dimensional space, and the dimension of super quantum is not necessarily limited to four dimensions."
Xu You knew that the highest dimension of the pair of super quantum he prepared should be only four dimensions, but this was due to limitations of some conditions such as energy.
Like the super quantum in Xu You's body, it is very likely that there are higher dimensions.
In higher-dimensional space, the way of movement will become complicated, and concepts such as wormholes and space folding may be put into practice.
Thinking in this way, it is not impossible that this super quantum suddenly appears somewhere far away.
Xu You was thinking about these things unconsciously and didn't realize that he had left the others aside again.
"Teacher Xu, what do you think we should do now?" Wang Xiangwu couldn't help but ask.
Wang Xiangwu knew Xu You very well and knew that in this state, Xu You must be concentrating on thinking about some problems.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Xiangwu would definitely not disturb Xu You from thinking about problems.
But the current situation is rather urgent, and Wang Xiangwu still needs to seek Xu You's opinion.
Xu You immediately jumped out of his deep thinking state, tried to stay calm, and said:
"There's no need to do anything special for now. Since our super quantum has returned to normal, just let it continue to fly towards the target direction."
After hearing what Xu You said, Wang Xiangwu felt a little relieved.
However, Wang Xiangwu still had some doubts about what had just happened, so he continued to ask:
"Teacher Xu, why do you think the danger was suddenly resolved just now? Was it because the capture of the mysterious particle failed?"
Wang Xiangwu knew that after Xu You’s deep thinking just now, he should have at least made a preliminary analysis of these things.
But what Wang Xiangwu didn't expect was that Xu You didn't make any inferences.
"There is too little information available now, and I cannot give a definite conclusion. All we can do is control the direction of the super quantum's movement. We just need to continue to execute according to the original plan."
Xu You couldn't tell everyone that there was another pair of more powerful super-quanta in his body, so he could only give some irrelevant opinions first.
Wang Xiangwu was surprised, but he also knew that Xu You was not someone who would jump to conclusions easily, so he did not think about the matter any further.
In the following period of time, the operation of this super quantum was very smooth and it did not experience similar dangerous situations as before.
