Seeing that Lü Yongchang had no intention of interrupting him, Academician Tang Wenshan continued.
"I'm sure you're familiar with current Quantum Communication Technology."
"It doesn't involve the so-called quantum nonlocal entanglement effect."
"It merely uses entanglement distribution and quantum teleportation to encrypt information securely."
"At present, we still have no theory that allows us to transmit messages using the quantum nonlocal entanglement effect."
(P.S. In reality, the quantum nonlocal entanglement effect cannot be used to achieve superluminal communication. The transmission of information remains limited by the speed of light.)
Lü Yongchang nodded.
Naturally, he knew all this.
But...
"Academician Tang, in my view, the key obstacle currently limiting Quantum Communication Technology is simply our inability to precisely manipulate individual photons."
Tang Wenshan fell silent.
"When you put it that way... you're not wrong."
Tang Wenshan said with some hesitation, "If we could precisely manipulate an individual photon, we'd only need to carry its entangled counterpart with us. That would naturally allow us to achieve superluminal communication."
Lü Yongchang shrugged. "Then doesn't that settle it?"
"Our task now is simple."
"Achieve precise control over individual photons."
Three months later.
Inside the main laboratory.
An enormous precision instrument stood in the center of the laboratory.
This was the result of everyone's research over the past three months.
A Single-Photon Control Device.
Lü Yongchang and Tang Wenshan stood anxiously before the control device and exchanged a silent glance.
"Professor Tang, let's begin the experiment."
Lü Yongchang took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
This was the first step toward achieving quantum superluminal communication.
Only by achieving perfect control over individual photons could they use the quantum nonlocal entanglement effect to transmit information.
At Lü Yongchang's command, a mixture of emotions surfaced in Professor Tang's eyes.
Excitement, apprehension, and anticipation.
