In his excitement, Ryan nearly pressed the alarm in his hand!
"You... you want to sell us this technology?" Ryan swallowed.
As an elite Intelligence Chief, he naturally understood its strategic value.
"Of course. Don't you think it's worth twenty thousand tons of energy crystal?" Nie Yun asked with a smile.
Before the wormhole's inevitable fall, Kloros had already removed the crucial cores from the Locke Conglomerate's three Wormhole Expansion Devices, then destroyed the devices outright. Even the wreckage had been carefully recovered, piece by piece.
Unfortunately for him, Nie Yun had acted even faster, sending his infiltrating little spies to "eat" their way through every inch of them long before that.
Kael, an astrophysicist at the Cloudtop Research Institute, was the lead researcher in charge of reverse engineering wormhole expansion technology.
After this period of experiments and research, the device's blueprints had been reconstructed, and intensive work was underway on the related fundamental sciences.
Earth Civilization had thus unlocked cosmic tidal studies, wormhole formation mechanism, elementary space jump, preliminary dark energy hypothesis, and other advanced fields... or rather, their barest basics!
Even with Earth Civilization's current Research Team, this extraordinary technology, which the Wulf Empire had spent a thousand years gradually developing and refining, was not something they could digest in a short time.
However, Kael's theoretical hypothesis about wormholes had already largely taken shape!
The universe was like a vast ocean, and wormholes were like the whirlpools within it.
Ocean whirlpools formed through factors such as laminar flow, cavities in the seabed, and concentrated vorticity, while wormholes in space formed through the combined effects of cosmic tides, dark energy potential differences, and other factors.
Cosmic wormholes formed where cosmic tides converged violently, and they could also vanish naturally as those tides rose, fell, and shifted.
