Master Qiao's expression changed, his composure vanishing without a trace!
Even though the wisp of soul in his mind came from a Great Golden Immortal, the prospect of solitary confinement still filled him with dread.
In truth, no intelligent creature was unafraid of loneliness and isolation, especially when it amounted to being sealed away like this—living beings placed in the Gate to the Immortal Realm's inventory entered a sealed state.
The longer a creature's lifespan, the more it feared this punishment.
Master Qiao glanced at Shen Bing. He felt that this fellow wasn't bluffing...
"Master, Quantum Transmission offers speed and convenience unmatched by any other means of transportation, but its energy consumption is likewise beyond anything those other methods can approach. That immense consumption applies not only to its operation, but also to the construction of its equipment. Quantum Transmission is based on quantum entanglement, a phenomenon in quantum mechanics. However, implementing the technology also involves converting energy into matter. This requires every set of equipment to contain sufficient energy. To meet the requirements for transporting a person, with Earth's current energy infrastructure, even burning all its fossil fuels wouldn't be enough to build a single system."
After hearing Master Qiao's explanation, Shen Bing was dumbstruck.
He had imagined that Quantum Teleportation Technology would be extremely difficult to implement, but he had never expected this.
Burning all the fossil fuels on Earth? That sounded utterly unreal!
Some people had estimated that Earth's remaining oil could meet humanity's needs for another century or two, and fossil fuels included more than just oil. There was also coal and natural gas.
Yet Master Qiao was now saying that even the energy produced by burning all those fossil fuels wouldn't be enough to operate a single Quantum Transmission Device. Could it really be that
