Chapter 128: First Experience with the Teleportation Array (Part 2)
After activating the talisman.
Zhuo Yuanxing quietly retreated, and the two-meter-high platform completely blocked the view of the elder in the black robe.
Then he placed a silver high-dimensional Bell state integration observation ring on the innermost side of the steps and pressed a blue activation button.
Beside Ma Ning, the 'boss' Lin Ziming, who was silently posing, and Wu Fan, who was acting as a translator, both felt something in their chest pocket tremble in unison.
This was a signal of device docking.
The two, who had long been informed by Zeng Gu Cheng about the operational details, maintained their expressions and discreetly pressed a button on their collars:
Buzz, swoosh—
Device docking successful.
Lin Ziming exhaled lightly; the remaining task mainly relied on the ultra-long-range photon reception source in Wu Fan's hand.
Although he also had another photon reception source on him, it was the second priority equipment.
The bit information collected by the Bell state observation ring would be prioritized and sent to Wu Fan's hand, and if reception failed, it would be sent a second time.
Moreover.
Zhuo Yuanxin carried a six-photon system's precision entanglement source, which was currently the highest fidelity multi-photon Schrodinger cat state light field.
The reason for not choosing a ten-photon entanglement source with more photons.
Firstly, the six-photon system better fits the Huygens–Fresnel Principle combined with an equivalent beam splitter model.
After all, if the teleportation array were to be classified, it should belong to the spatial characteristics of nonlinear optical metamaterials. (This is the best computational model I can think of, won't elaborate if everyone's not interested, if anyone has other ideas feel free to comment)
Secondly, the cluster state of the six-photon system can be directly used for quantum computing, which is very convenient and fast.
The teleportation array's runtime is very short, so the calculation complexity should be kept as simple as possible.
According to the physics team's plan.
The entanglement source on Zhuo Yuanxin will emit at least two, and at most three, photons at the moment before teleportation, transmitting through a channel to the high-dimensional Bell state observation ring.
Then, via the observation ring, it will be directionally received by the ultra-long-range photon reception sources in the hands of Wu Fan and Lin Ziming.
The reason the physics team believes this operation has a probability of success is due to the certainty of the GZK limit in the Damo Realm.
The concept of the GZK limit is complex, and considering some students are about to fail, to summarize, it means that the speed of light can still be deduced to be the fastest in the universe.
If the speed of light remains the fastest, then theoretically, at the moment the teleportation array is initiated, the speed at which an object disappears should not surpass the speed of light.
Because the teleportation array is also an auxiliary carrier.
Prior transmissions by several caravan companies have also proven this point.
According to the instruments carried by the trade group, the disappearance process of the human body takes approximately 3.957 seconds, with the moment the silhouette fades taking about 0.00685 milliseconds.
After placing the observation ring properly.
Zhuo Yuanxin pulled a long wire from behind and moved to the back of the group.
The long wire was concealed by cargo boxes and other trade group members, unnoticed by Yang Bolin and the elder in the black robe.
This 'long wire' was, in fact, an ultra-thin conductive optical fiber with a diameter of only 0.76 millimeters and a total length of 4.02 meters.
It is currently the most advanced and precise photon transmission path in Huaxia, a classic channel for transmitting characters.
In a sense, the concept of this transmission path is equivalent to the importance of mushroom bombs to rabbits, the trump card among trump cards, the core of the core.
There's no alternative.
Quantum teleportation requires a classic channel in the step of acquiring the target state, and traditional optical cables longer than a hundred meters cannot be laid during the teleportation process.
Don't be fooled by Yang Bolin's cheerful demeanor now.
If rabbits were to demand the laying of optical cables, this old man would undoubtedly swoop in twirling his third-stage underpants.
Who knows, the elder in the black robe might even whip out one to join the fray in a mixed doubles match.
Thus, the base camp had to unveil this powerful tool.
This is currently the most advanced equipment, globally ranking among the top two in fidelity for photon transmission if the overseas faction isn't hiding relevant technical skills. If not, it undisputedly ranks first.
To give a more straightforward example.
This transmission path can be seen as a particularly good TT; at eight-to-eight-and-a-half times, there's no hindrance whatsoever, feeling just like nothing is there.
Consequently, this thing is also a money burner for sure.
This four-meter-ish optical path costs over six million Huaxia currency per meter.
The total cost of the entire optical path amounts to 25 million!
Friends who have a jump rope or remember what it looks like can recall; it's that kind of specification rope, one costing over 20 million, in Huaxia currency.
No choice.
Research is like this, dealing with the concept of microscopic particles is just outrageously expensive.
Of course, using it feels incredibly smooth and sleek too.
Thus.
Everyone prepared for about ten minutes, silently adjusting all equipment to the most complete state.
After completing these tasks.
Zhuo Yuanxin tapped four times on the earpiece, three long and one short.
Ma Ning, hearing the vibration command in his earpiece, took a deep breath and said to Yang Bolin:
"Shopkeeper Yang, let's begin the teleportation."
Yang Bolin nodded slightly, then transmitted a divine thought to the elder in the black robe.
The elder seemed a bit impatient, placing his hand on the crystal stone without delay.
After one breath, a blue light began to glow from the teleportation array.
At the same time.
The entanglement source on Zhuo Yuanxin began operating!
In the microscopic world invisible to the naked eye, a photon minuscule to the extreme appeared almost instantly within the Bell state observation ring.
But this wasn't enough.
Because without information transmission, everything was in vain.
Eight million seventy-six ten thousandths of a millisecond later.
An alpha amplitude appeared for the first time and was quickly captured and sent.
Simultaneously.
The remote photon particle receiver on Wu Fan caught this amplitude and transmitted it to the super-use calculator 'Zhoubi' in the rear courtyard of the chamber in sixty-four millionths of a millisecond!
In an extremely short time, Zhoubi calculated out the state of the input!
In the rear courtyard of the chamber.
Zeng Gu Cheng's gaze was firmly fixed on the screen.
After the teleportation array was activated, he had only 3.957 seconds!
A third of a second passed.
A number emerged after a calculation involving billions of float operations:
Σ=4.6652!
Zeng Gu Cheng almost instinctively shouted:
"Character 01, requires a Z gate! Calculate using the Z^m1Z^m2 transformation!"
This shout took 1.98 seconds.
As Zeng Gu Cheng shouted this line, the second photon appeared!
A beta amplitude was recorded once more.
Meanwhile, another second passed.
The people within the teleportation array were reduced to just a last blurry shadow.
However... only two photons had appeared.
Far from enough to derive a phi solution.
In a mere tenth of a second.
It felt like watching a volleyball final's decisive ball at a tie at 28 points.
Around the teleportation array, in the control room at the rear courtyard of the chamber, in the command center a thousand miles away, and even outside the light gate at the Modu Base Camp.
All eyes, at this moment, were focused on the 'ball' temporarily paused mid-air.
Within ten-thousandths of a millisecond before the optical transmission path disappeared entirely, a photon appeared in the Bell state observation ring!
The third photon appeared!
Like a main striker leaping high.
Raises hand, spikes the ball, and then...
The decisive shot!
Thud—
Losing its optical transmission path, the observation ring fell to the ground due to inertia, but before hitting the ground, it had transmitted all its information to the 'Zhoubi' supercomputer.
Seeing this, Ma Ning made an 'oh dear' sound and, following the prior rehearsal, put on a slightly reproachful expression, said to Yang Bolin:
"Look at this Xiaozhuo, so careless, such a big item can fall."
According to the original plan, after Wu Fan translated this sentence, he would naturally walk to the edge of the steps and retrieve the observation ring.
However, he waited a few seconds and didn't see Wu Fan speak up to translate.
Turning around curiously, he asked:
"Xiaowu, why haven't you replied... hmm?"
But at half a meter from him, where Wu Fan originally stood...
Now stood no one.
Only a stupefied Wei Niandong.
Moments later.
He heard Wei Niandong say haltingly:
"Professor Ma, when Dr. Zhuo and the others disappeared, Wu Fan also... vanished."
