Due to the critical importance of the ice coffin.
It might even involve the existence of an alternate dimension.
Therefore, besides Lin Li, Wang Qiang, and others this time,
including Hua Jun, responsible for defense talisman R&D; Tang Pin, responsible for weapon R&D; and Zhang Mu from the chemistry research group, along with Zeng Gu Cheng, Li Bai'an, and Lu Chaoyang, Academician Pan Jianwei, and others all came to the site in person.
Additionally,
there are some newly recruited experts from the camp who are either present or watching the site through recording equipment.
This kind of gathering of prominent figures is truly a display of prestige; the last time such a gathering was seen was a while ago.
In short,
the research power is at its full capacity, consisting entirely of the top-tier individuals.
When everyone arrived on the site in sterile suits,
the ice coffin had already been placed on a round platform near the center of the NBDX laboratory.
The platform is about ten centimeters high from the ground, with a diameter of around five to six meters.
The platform can accommodate about a dozen people standing on it and can rise or drop up to one meter depending on the situation.
Once the research is completed, a cylindrical transparent partition can be constructed on site.
This serves as a relatively comprehensive ground facility.
After entering the NBDX laboratory,
Lin Li first led the team to the main control desk and asked Wang Qiang,
"Xiao Wang, has the ice coffin been scanned?"
Wang Qiang nodded, picked up a report from the table, and handed it over to Lin Li:
"Teacher, this is the scan result.
According to our measurements, this ice coffin weighs about four tons, which is much heavier than the one in the Mo Family secret chamber.
Additionally, no scratches, radioactive elements, fingerprints, or sediment dust were detected on the exterior of the ice coffin.
Therefore, we preliminarily conclude that it might possess a certain self-cleaning function."
Lin Li casually took the report, skimmed it, and then his expression became serious:
"Hmm? The lengths of the two ice coffins are completely identical?"
Wang Qiang nodded heavily and explained:
"That's right, this is the most crucial information we could gather from the exterior:
The length, width, and height of the two ice coffins are exactly the same—'exactly the same' here refers not only to large-scale measurement units; we have also calibrated this precision down to the nanometer level.
The final data... remain unchanged."
Lin Li pondered for a few seconds and then passed the report to the next expert.
After everyone had taken turns examining it, the atmosphere on site grew significantly more serious.
Nanometer.
That is, 10 to the power of negative 9 meters.
Generally, the diameter of a human hair is 0.05 millimeters; if you axially slice it into 50,000 threads, each would be about 1 nanometer thick.
And in the industrial field, what does precision at the nanometer level mean?
This degree of precision is barely achievable for some bearings, submarine propellers, and mechanical gyroscopes in intercontinental missiles.
With enough funding, one can essentially achieve this level of precision by spending some money.
Also, consider the requirements of thin-film deposition equipment.
This type of equipment essentially needs to deposit a layer of film a few nanometers thick on a 300 mm diameter wafer evenly.
This film, from the thickest to the thinnest part, cannot differ by more than 0.1 nanometers.
Another example is the diameter of an atom, which is approximately at the scale of 0.1 nanometers.
But for objects like ice coffins with such volume, achieving nanometer precision remains difficult.
At least, relying solely on spiritual sense, it's almost impossible to reach such precision—a while back, the command center once asked Ma Ning to find Yang Zhengchu to use spiritual sense to process a mold.
The final precision unit achieved was in the micrometer level, far from nanometers.
Therefore, it's very clear.
The two ice coffins are products from the same template, and they come from that precursor civilization.
This rules out the possibility of a new civilization or a serendipitous local occurrence of an ice coffin.
And this also aligns well with the definition rabbits recently gave to that precursor civilization:
A Kardashev scale between 1.8-2.0, capable of interstellar travel.
Suspected to have highly advanced technology and cultivation methods, essentially being a true "technological cultivation."
Of course,
this definition targets the precursor civilization from 2 million years ago, and it may likely be further adjusted based on subsequent findings.
Then Lin Li pondered again and asked Mingmou, who had followed along:
"Teacher Mingmou, was the coffin you saw back then in this form?"
Mingmou approached upon hearing this and glanced at the ice coffin a few times.
Then quickly shook his head, speaking with conviction,
"Not exactly, what I saw back then was a vermilion coffin, not transparent.
And if we compare it to a planet....
The size of one coffin was probably not smaller than our Liaoning Fisheries Administration Ship."
Lin Li nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
Then he looked around and said,
"Everyone, that's all the information we have on the exterior of the ice coffin, so let's get ready to open it now."
The many experts had no objections and began preparing one after another.
After five minutes passed,
two mechanical arms moved over above the ice coffin, and a barrier crystal formation was activated around the control platform area.
Once everyone was in position,
Lin Li pressed a start button.
Buzzzz——
A cushioning module larger than the coffin lid was first raised around the circular platform to prevent any accidental falls.
Then the mechanical arms, like a claw machine, clamped the coffin lid from four corners and opened it to the left.
At the same time.
Wang Qiang and others at the console were also conducting various data detections and compilations:
"Report, the mechanical arm load has no anomalies!"
"Report! No special gases have been released from the coffin!"
"The temperature inside the coffin is extremely low, currently about minus 117°!"
"Photodynamic equipment feedback received, no 'vacuum' signs inside the coffin!"
As each risk was cleared,
the extent to which the coffin lid was pulled open became greater.
Fifteen minutes later.
The entire coffin lid was opened, revealing the scene inside:
The internal space of the ice coffin appeared almost identical to its exterior view, with the walls and bottom as clean as new, empty of anything.
But this is only to the naked eye—or in the macroscopic view appears normal.
After all, it's not unusual for space to be difficult to discern with the naked eye.
What truly holds precious information...
is actually the microscopic field!
At the moment the coffin lid was lifted.
Numerous instruments at the physics sub-console where Academician Pan Jianwei and Lu Chaoyang and others were, immediately responded.
One female researcher responsible for Eynim sequencing suddenly pushed up her glasses and raised her hand:
"Report! A particle's position vector has been detected!"
Academician Pan hurried to her side:
"Xiaopeng, can the position operator be multiplied by a scalar?"
This young woman, whose full name is Peng Ziyan, nodded, her fingers flying over the keyboard:
"It's sufficient; the wave function in the calculation... It's out, a positive definite Hermitian matrix!"
"What about the eigenvalues corresponding to the eigenvectors?"
"They are all positive and above 2!"
"Numbers above 2, huh..."
Academician Pan's expression visibly fell, as if he wanted to say something.
However, before he could speak, Peng Ziyan suddenly widened her eyes:
"Wait, Academician Pan, there's a new development!
Look here, after commuting with a ground state field...
The operator's eigenvectors can form a complete basis for a Hilbert space!"
Academician Pan immediately leaned over to the console and looked where Peng Guiyan pointed.
Upon seeing the information on the screen, he was overjoyed:
"Indeed, Xiaopeng, you've made a great contribution this time!"
It is well known that.
A normal matrix is equivalent to a complete set of basis formed by its eigenvectors.
However, expanding a state vector into a superposition of some operator's eigenvectors does not imply that these eigenvectors are complete.
For example, a typical annihilation operator.
Its eigenstate is a coherent state, and coherent states form a non-orthogonal over-complete basis.
This involves another concept—the discrete time defined by the state.
What does this mean? An example can explain it simply:
For instance, an author originally updated normally suddenly cut off his work—let's randomly name him Li Guding.
So this process involves a definitional change:
Before the cut, he was a regular person, and after the cut, the Chief Steward.
The moment something falls from the body is the discrete time defined by the state:
In this instant, before and after, a person's nature changes.
In historical terms, this could fit into events like Chongzhen hanging himself, or a struggling neighbor announcing surrender.
The excited state of a vacuum field inevitably causes a particle coupling field to appear. Still, eigenvalues above 2 signify a discrete time of 0.
This means the ice coffin has always been in one state.
Thus, based on the initial wave function signs, no current vacuum field conditions exist in the ice coffin.
As it was at the beginning, so it remains now.
However, then the operator's eigenvectors indicate that forming a complete basis for the Hilbert space suggests the presence of discrete time nodes!
In other words, micro-particle ground states in the ice coffin can be divided into two fault nodes:
One node is the vacuum-free present, and the other is the vacuum-filled past.
So now the rabbits can firmly conclude one thing:
The zero-point energy is what powers the iron-helium micro-crystals in the ice coffin!
And with this conclusion established,
The NBDX laboratory should also include Dirac and Casimir's urns— after all, if their spirits were present, they might be delighted enough to rise from their coffins with joy.
At the same time.
Lu Chaoyang suddenly realized something:
"Wait, I understand!
The entrance under the ice coffin....
was likely blasted open through zero-point energy!"
