Chapter 152 Quantum Experiments
As these weighty words were spoken, the floor of the endless corridor beneath everyone's feet began to glow with a technologically advanced, rhythmic light.
The green arrow on the electronic sign on the wall guided them to turn a right angle.
Immediately afterwards, a space that was completely different from the surrounding corridor filled with academic and classical atmosphere, and full of a sharp sense of technology, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The air in this area is filled with a pungent smell, a mixture of cold metal and ozone.
"We've arrived."
Following Leonard's gaze, on the anti-static floor inside the yellow warning safety line, a huge number—"56"—was clearly printed in striking black paint.
Leonard stopped, took off the high-security encrypted magnetic card hanging around his neck, and swiped it with great skill on the recognition machine next to the heavy metal door.
"Beep—. Authorization granted."
With a crisp hatch opening sound, the airlock slowly opened.
A gust of cold air, characteristic of the laboratory, suddenly swept over them, causing several unsuspecting students to shiver.
What comes into view is a huge interior space that is evenly illuminated by a cool white light source.
On the hooks on the wall, rows of anti-static white coats, polymer protective gloves, and heavy-duty noise-canceling earmuffs are hung neatly.
On the shelf to the side, protective goggles that gleamed with a cold light were densely packed together.
Even through the thick walls, the dull rumble of a machine in operation could still be clearly heard.
This extremely spacious area is filled with high-strength, radiation-proof glass walls that are more than one meter thick.
Through that transparent physical barrier, everyone involuntarily held their breath.
A massive resonator, with an extremely complex structure resembling a cyberpunk creation, lay quietly in the very center of the venue.
Leonard abandoned his previous easygoing demeanor and sternly instructed:
"Alright, please put on your protective suits according to the procedure."
Furthermore, I warn everyone that you are strictly prohibited from touching any item here without permission, not even a single wire.
Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.
Su Hao and the other students, who were already intimidated by the scene, nodded silently, held their breath, and lined up one by one to take off their white coats and protective gear and put them on.
"Slap! Slap!"
At the control panel, Leonard, with a stern expression, methodically reached out and switched on the heavy-duty switches for the main power supply.
In an instant, hundreds of indicator lights on the quantum analyzer lit up one after another like stars.
As Leonard nodded slightly to the researchers standing by, several engineers quickly stepped forward, carefully inspected the edge seal of the resonator, and firmly connected several sturdy connectors.
"Su Hao." During the break in the equipment warming up, Leonard turned his head and stared intently into Su Hao's eyes.
"If you see or feel anything here today, even if it's just a glimmer of light or an absurd thought."
Whatever it is, please, please share it with us!
Su Hao felt a chill run down his spine.
At that moment, he clearly discerned an emotion in the bloodshot eyes of this influential professor—
It was an extreme longing, like a drowning person desperately grasping at the last straw.
"Definitely," Su Hao solemnly promised.
The voice just fell.
With a crisp "click" from the relay, the frequency sweeping program officially started!
The entire room fell silent!
Su Hao held his breath, watching intently as everything unfolded before him.
The engineers inside the cabin began operating rapidly on the control panel, applying microwave frequency sweeps into the resonator.
With a short but intense pulse injection, the massive resonant cavity, like a startled beast, emitted a violent tremor and roar, as if even the surrounding space was shaking, before gradually calming down within a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards, the extremely complex boundary conditions changed drastically under the drive of the algorithm, and the data waveforms on the screen began to shake and tear violently like waves in a storm.
"It's about to begin..."
In the crowd, someone, perhaps due to excessive nervousness, muttered something to themselves in a low voice.
Everyone could feel that the once deathly silent, pitch-black cavity was now, at this moment, gently infused with a breath by some unseen deity.
At first, they were just tiny specks of dust, scattered and drifting like dust at the beginning of the universe.
But in a very short time, they seemed to be drawn by some supreme law, rapidly converging and pulling, and finally condensing in the darkness into an extremely thin line emitting a faint light.
This thin line, as if it had a life of its own, moved at high speed through the empty cavity.
When it crashed into the cold metal inner wall at a terrifying speed, it was instantly bounced back by a tremendous force, and then curled and folded inward in an extremely twisted posture.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a completely new form that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
However, this perfect balance was short-lived. It lasted only for a very short moment before the lines suddenly collapsed without warning.
With a "bang," it scattered into countless even smaller particles, completely dissipating into the chaotic background noise.
Before anyone could even utter a sigh of regret, then...
Those particles, like ghosts, reappeared in another location within the cavity, in the exact same arrogant posture, without the slightest difference!
At that very moment, Su Hao's pupils suddenly contracted, and a dazzling, strange light flashed in his eyes!
In order not to miss even the smallest detail, he didn't even want to blink, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could press his whole face against the glass.
In the eyes of Whitman and others, it was perhaps just an extremely sophisticated and chaotic quantum experiment.
But in Su Hao's brain, which is comparable to a quantum computer, the chaotic quantum movement with no discernible pattern is just like the initial rhythm of some kind of higher-dimensional life when it is conceived and born!
It sometimes expands wildly, and sometimes contracts rapidly;
It seemed to fall into absolute stillness for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, it transcended the constraints of space and disappeared without a trace.
Although those lines are under a massive random number system, they will never return to the same absolute coordinates that they have experienced before.
But they always experience the endless cycle of birth and death with the same magnificent rhythm!
