Inside the laboratory.
Watching the numerous experts looking his way.
Lu Chaoyang tactically adjusted his collar, then said:
"Everyone should be aware.
The term 'vacuum' refers to the lowest energy point of a system.
To put it plainly...
Well, take a vacuum in a 1 cubic centimeter space as an example.
From the perspective of classical mechanics, there's nothing in it.
No waves, no particles, no mass, no field, let alone energy.
But according to quantum mechanics.
Even in this empty space, there is still certain energy—such as the natural creation and annihilation of short-lived particles.
The famous Lamb shift and Casimir effect indirectly confirm this conjecture.
This is also one of the core supports of zero-point energy."
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
This concept is widely disseminated, even across disciplines, they have some understanding.
It's quite awkward to say.
In the local context, perhaps due to the influence of many amateur scientists and YY-style online novels.
Many people think quantum mechanics is an unreliable or even non-existent subject.
In case of uncertainty, invoke quantum mechanics.
The sarcasm of this phrase is almost comparable to 'The 21st century is the century of biology.'
But in reality.
Quantum mechanics is a very rigorous discipline with many achievements.
Related Nobel prizes in Physics are numerous.
For example, everyone's mobile phones and computers have real technology derived from quantum mechanics.
Even the quantum computer that Academician Pan is working on, many people's entanglement with it is just over the definition of the last three characters—of course, except for that Fang something person.
He targets individuals for criticism, not just Academician Pan alone.
Additionally.
Quantum field theory is currently ranked among the top three theories domestically, just that it has spawned too many bizarre interpretations.
For example, perpetual motion machines, curvature engines, through-clothing vision all get linked to it.
Ultimately.
Quantum mechanics, a subject into which the country invests billions every year and is professionally established in universities.
In many people's eyes, it has become a spiritual fantasy akin to Buddhism.
This is quite funny.
Anyway.
This situation does not exist within the current NBDX laboratory, so Lu Chaoyang quickly continued:
"To trigger zero-point vacuum energy—let's not concern ourselves with how they managed it; a civilization starting at an interstellar level mastering this technology is not absurd.
In short.
Being able to trigger zero-point energy indicates they have already touched the field within the zero-point state.
Everyone can understand this, right?"
The numerous experts once again cooperatively nodded.
Then Lu Chaoyang continued:
"And the field of zero-point state is very unstable and could lead to major events due to decreased basic space state energy.
Xiaopeng and her team found the discrete time wave peaks to be very, very short, so short that the basic state field's retention almost couldn't be detected by our most advanced equipment.
This can only indicate one thing:
That the vacuum disappears instantaneously, rather than being worn away bit by bit.
Thus the question arises.
How can such a situation occur?"
Lu Chaoyang spread his hands to everyone:
"Only by explosion!"
He then paused for about ten seconds, giving everyone time to process:
"The explosion of vacuum-like spaces... Let's not discuss how strong the ice coffin's defense is yet.
But as long as it's impacting the coffin wall directly, there must be other coupling fields discoverable—as we can observe the redshift phenomenon caused by the Big Bang.
And our detection showed no sign of such coupling fields, so it's obviously not happening inside the ice coffin.
The space 'above' is impossible, so naturally, it can only be...
'Below.'"
With Lu Chaoyang's last words exiting, the entire scene fell silent.
It must be said, Lu Chaoyang's judgment makes a lot of sense.
At least theoretically, it can stand its ground and meets the criteria of objective truth.
Even if Academician Pan wants to nitpick, he can hardly find any flaws.
And this also represents another possibility:
The hole 'below' the ice coffin...
It's likely not just a simple outlet.
Judging by the energy of the vacuum explosion, that space might be even bigger than the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace.
Then Lin Li lightly coughed and said:
"Alright folks, since we have sufficient theoretical support, let's research that outlet.
Wang, did you detect airflow direction on your side?"
Wang Qiang, by his side pointing at the screen, quickly nodded:
"Though we can't see the entrance with the naked eye, observational equipment doesn't lie.
There are very obvious gusts of wind at the bottom of the ice coffin, approximately between level five and six.
It was judged based on the model.
These winds should escape through the gaps in the coffin lid.
Then through the differences in the molecular average kinetic energy, it rises and falls, before refracting against the end.
Ultimately forming the wind inside the cave."
Lin Li nodded and asked:
"Then what about the entrance?"
Wang Qiang furrowed his brows immediately:
"It's difficult to distinguish the entrance with the naked eye and it should relate to the mimicry characteristics of the ice coffin.
Currently, we detected seven outlets for the wind, distributed around a circle with a diameter of about one meter.
However, each wind outlet is slightly narrower than we expected.
Around three to four centimeters, clearly not enough for a person to fit."
Upon hearing Wang Qiang's words, Lin Li blinked, suddenly feeling a sense of déjà vu:
"Wait, doesn't this resemble the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace somewhat?"
Academician Pan happened to walk over to him at that moment and responded immediately:
"That's right, it's somewhat similar, but the nature of the two might differ.
The Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace shows leakage of Spiritual Energy and y particles due to its long history; plainly speaking, its sealing has reached the end of its shelf life.
And the entrance to the ice coffin...
Personally, I am more inclined to think it's undergoing 'self-healing.'"
For those who have studied physics, they should know.
Space has tension.
This tension could either make it expand or self-complete.
The specifics depend on whether it is inside or outside.
It's like a bucket of water.
If you remove the body of the bucket, the water would scatter.
But if you poke a hole in it with your finger, once you remove your finger, the hole will fill up.
The ice coffin entrance is this latter situation—of course, if you get technical, it's certainly not that simple, but the concept isn't far off.
However, the missing energy within the ice coffin is substantial, and the speed needed for space to self-heal is slow, thus requiring a long time.
As the longitude ages passed.
The entrance to the space then formed into the present visually imperceptible but still wind-exuding state.
Then Lin Li pondered for a moment and asked:
"Then Academician Pan, should we now apply the Xicc++ baryon and special photon plasma?
Just like when we broke open the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace before?"
Academician Pan glanced at the ice coffin not far away, touched his somewhat sparse hair, and said:
"There's no rush for that now, first let's use particle imaging equipment to probe inside and see the situation."
Particle imaging equipment.
This was originally proposed by Mr. Yang ZN, combined with a newly deciphered talisman technology.
Back at the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace, it appeared and played a significant role.
The entire equipment's communication particles used high-density Ωccc++ baryons, and the channel particles were beryllium ions.
The combination of the two creates an effect similar to a camera + cable.
As for the Xicc++ baryon and special photon plasma mentioned by Lin Li, that was the material used at that time to blast damaged spaces.
As always.
Currently, there's no way rabbits can individually open a space, but it's not difficult to blast spaces with certain gaps; just inject energy into specific points.
However, compared to the limited and passive means of the past, rabbits are now much more at ease.
They can choose direct blasting or explore first using imaging equipment.
Additionally, as technology updates and progresses.
Academician Pan's team can now set up channels with lengths increased from eight hundred meters to three thousand meters.
Academician Pan's suggestion aligned with the rabbits' usual cautious approach, and thus quickly received unanimous approval from everyone.
Half an hour later.
An Ion Channel Detector was prepared and debugged.
Then, under the personal operation of Academician Pan.
The ion channel was laid into the visually hard-to-discern entrance of the space.
Compared to the setup of the channel at the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace, this operation not only has an upgrade in distance but is also much less difficult:
The Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace was like a briquette, Spiritual Energy could only enter and exit through small gaps.
While the ice coffin could blow winds between level five and six, the entrance is evidently much larger.
After all, the seasoned ones know, the looser the entrance the easier it is to enter.
Thus it didn't take long.
The particle imaging equipment captured some scenes:
This is a space with no visible end, surrounded by mountains of varying heights.
But whether high mountains or low peaks, none have thriving vegetation and are barren and uninhabited.
The entire space is bleak, reminiscent of the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Palace, full of ruins.
In addition to that.
Numerous animal skeletons could be seen on the ground.
Or perhaps...
Fox skeletons.
