Entanglement
Ruby Base, Administrative Center.
A faint Magic Power permeated the air, and the crystal prisms hummed incessantly. All communication arrays operated at full capacity to receive and process a large number of messages. Some were communications of various commands, while most were technical information.
The "Giant Bone Dragon; Black Armor Form" is a massive and complex design involving a large-scale synergy array, inspiring awe and fear.
Newman broke the project down into numerous modules. The easiest nodes were assigned to the experienced alchemy team within the Final Bone Mad Machines. The most difficult areas were tackled partly by Newman and Quail themselves, and partly by Ashy Drongo and Elder Lanmo, who led a team of Feather Race scholars to solve them.
The ministers accompanying King Star Pickaxe on his trip also demonstrated their profound skills as top alchemists. They shared the task of navigating the middle layer and, using a communication array, urgently mobilized the entire Dwarven Royal Alchemy Association to work together.
As night deepened, technical teams from afar were awakened and summoned to join this race against time.
Tonight, I'm destined to be sleepless.
"The entire dwarven mining team from Red Ridge Mine has been relocated to the Celestite Hydropower Station!" Younier was quickly checking the progress list with Stacy. "The earthwork modification work on the Celesteite test platform has begun, and large power cables are being laid," Stacy said.
The on-site command of the hydroelectric power station experimental base is under the responsibility of Beianqi. She needs to prepare for the arrival of the Giant Bone Dragon and the upgrade of the Vermilion Bow. A large number of materials are also being transported there rapidly via rail train.
"Bring all our accompanying guards over to help!" King Star Pickaxe commanded.
"But," a dwarf official instinctively tried to dissuade him.
Star Pickaxe's eyes widened, sharp as tempered steel nails, and the official immediately fell silent.
"Let the Wanshi pass!" Star Pickaxe added.
"Yes!" This time, the official responded with remarkable speed.
On the side of the Final Bone Mad Machines, a thousand necromancers were immediately dispatched. At this moment, they were riding on a giant dragon, speeding through the night sky.
Younier and Stacy quickly took stock of the remaining personnel at the base. Apart from those who needed to maintain the core operation of the base, key production lines, and transportation lines, the two decided to gradually transfer another 1,500 necromancers to the Celestite Hydropower Station for reinforcement and standby.
The dragons were also mobilized on a large scale.
The dragon city near the Ruby Base has now taken shape. A large number of dragons have settled there permanently, and it has been officially named "Thousand Wings City".
The city's residents, especially the dragons, responded to the call to action immediately, becoming the first team to join the mission. More and more dragons are arriving from all directions, flapping their wings and joining the mission.
The workload of the entire dispatch center was pushed to its maximum capacity in a very short time. But no one panicked. With the Electricity-Swallowing Beast unlocked, countless real-time data and instructions flowed like a waterfall, bringing everything under control.
The Land of Ancestral Spirits of the Dragon Race.
Solemn moonlight flowed over the sleeping giant bones.
The first to arrive was the Dragon Race's delivery team. These experienced dragons demonstrated amazing efficiency the moment they received the order, and with their outstanding business skills, they were the first to deliver the first batch of "goods" to their destination.
Five hundred necromancers leaped off the dragon's back and quickly assembled into ranks.
"Excellent, all five stars!" Su Ming said.
It seems that the Dragon Race's "Didi" service system might actually be able to go live. However, with the cost of several gold coins per ride, most people probably can't afford it.
Bowers walked quickly to Su Ming and Zijin.
"Five people per group," Zijin instructed succinctly. "Purify the bones and complete the basic assembly. All subsequent detailed construction will be carried out at the Celestite Hydropower Station."
"Understood!" Bowers responded and waved his hand. The necromancers surged into the burial area of Land of Ancestral Spirits like a tide. The magic array in the Land of Ancestral Spirits had a warming and protective effect on the dragon's remains. However, over the long period of time, most of the remains had lost their strength, and most of their components had returned to the natural cycle.
Only those that had slumbered for less than two hundred years retained sufficient resilience. After counting, there were approximately three thousand dragon skeletons that met the criteria. A group of necromancers quickly selected a complete skeleton. They stood in a circle around the skeleton and bowed deeply to pay their respects to the deceased. Then, their hands glowed with a deep, eerie light as they chanted a summoning incantation.
The Magic Power flowed like a stream, seeping into the stark white bones, spreading along every crevice and joint. Specks of light shone on the bone surface, as if awakened.
As the brightness continued to rise, the purification and summoning of the bones was finally completed after more than twenty minutes.
As the soil slid away, the snow-white bone dragon, completely purified by Magic Power, slowly broke through the ground and rose to its feet. Despite their deep reluctance at the use of their kin's remains in this way, Dragon King Gelie and most of the elders chose to remain and witness the event. "You certainly know how to pick them," Gelie said, gazing at the first newly formed bone dragon with complex emotions. "This is my predecessor." "Huh? Is this the previous Dragon King?" Zijin looked on in surprise, but then noticed that the bone dragon's skeleton didn't seem particularly solid. Judging from its strength, it probably wasn't strong enough to be the Dragon King.
"No," Gelie replied, "She is my ex-wife."
He moved forward, his dragon head gently resting on the bone dragon's pale white neck, offering an embrace that transcended life and death.
The fastest-moving "delivery dragon" snatched the delivery job. He took the bone dragon, carried it on his back, and under Gelie's watchful gaze, flapped his wings and took flight, speeding towards the Celestite Hydropower Station.
Five hundred more necromancers arrived one after another and joined the "awakening" work. The entire Land of Ancestral Spirits with faint light, and the low chanting and the sound of turning earth intertwined.
"We should also head to Azurestone; the ' Vermilion Bow ' operation needs to begin," said Zijin.
Su Ming was focusing most of his energy on communication between the two realms. He let Zijin lead him by the hand and leaped onto the back of Qingfeng, the Azure Dragon Elder. Qingfeng carried the two of them into the air, with Elder Zhimeng following closely behind, flapping his wings and taking off.
"Watching it... it's still painful." Zhimeng's voice sounded somewhat ethereal in the wind, carrying a deep sigh, "In the end, it's we, the younger generation, who are incompetent and failed to protect the peace of this land."
"That's why we must strive even harder!" Qingfeng said resolutely, "Let the enemy rest in peace with their ancestors!"
Su Ming turned to Zijin beside him and said, "I'm going to find Jisu," then closed his eyes, switching his vision to the Earth Plane. Earth Support Team Base, Conference Room.
The senior managers— Jin Rongjia, Dodder, Jisu, and Fengshou —who should have been busy at their respective posts, sat solemnly around an elderly man with gray hair, like a group of obedient children being lectured.
"I know time is precious right now, and I know you're all incredibly busy!" the old man began, his words seemingly slow but actually rapid, carrying a sense of pressure. "But some things need to be said to you directly!"
"Please speak, Director Tan." Jin Rongjia sat upright.
"Significant progress has been made in Sangzi's area." Director Tan's cloudy old eyes swept over everyone. "The confidentiality level is too high; she didn't inform you, but the board of directors believes you must be informed!"
He tossed a thin document to the four men, which contained information about the "quantum gas microscope." This technology is currently the sharpest eye and tentacle for humanity to observe and manipulate the quantum world.
"Is this a plan to have Su Ming take an ultracold atomic optical lattice photograph of the ' Gospel ' material?" Jisu immediately understood the key point. "Although the completion of the cross-domain communication system will still take a long time, Sangzi is confident in building a temporary communication system to conduct experiments while simultaneously completing megabit-level data transmission." Director Tan quickened his pace, "This is the next step, something Su Ming and I will work on together." "If we have the true form of the ' Gospel ' material at the quantum scale," Fengshou a deep breath, his eyes blazing with intense light, "We can break through the wall that the laws of physics cover!"
"Now you understand what you're carrying on your shoulders!" Director Tan suddenly raised his voice, "And look at the mess you've made! The ' Vermilion Bow ' backup system—you only prepared two sets?!"
He rebuked sharply, "If we don't fight and grab, are we supposed to wait for the enemy from another world to be kind enough to feed us?" Jin Rongjia's lips moved, wanting to explain that the "Vermilion Bow" component cost over two hundred million. At the time, the support team only dared to write down the figure of three sets, one for the main body and one for backup.
That's seven hundred million gone!
"Back then, for ' Miss Qiu,' we had to sell everything we owned, our belts were stretched to our necks!" Director Tan stood up abruptly. "Now that life is better, have you all gone weak-kneed? All that drive to fight and grab, that spirit of risking your lives, has gone to waste?!"
"Whether it's approved or not is the board's business! You don't even dare to write it on the application form! Who are you trying to fool?!" He became angrier as he spoke, and the hardwood cane in his hand whistled through the air as it mercilessly struck Jin Rongjia's shin, making a dull "crack" sound!
"I can't control what others do! You brat, I personally pulled you out of the pile of green recruits back then, can't I hit you?!" Director Tan panted heavily, his eyes wide with anger.
"Please calm down, don't get sick from anger..." Jin Rongjia was in excruciating pain in his calf, but he didn't budge.
Dang!
The conference room door was flung open! That skeletal Little Spiky Head stormed in.
Ignoring the heavy atmosphere in the room, Su Ming went straight to Jisu, pulled out a piece of paper from the conference table, wrote down a bunch of complex numbers and symbols, and slapped it into Jisu's arms. "Type 59 Modified! The structure of these nodes has problems! Recalculate immediately!"
Jisu grabbed the paper, turned around and rushed out of the meeting room without saying a word.
"Remember this! Just say what you need! If you can't get it or can't coordinate it, come to me!" Director Tan said, still furious, then quickly waved his hand.
"Understood!" Dodder and Fengshou replied in unison, and quickly got up and left.
"Excuse me, it seems I've interrupted your meeting." Su Ming turned to Director Tan. He didn't usually follow the news, otherwise he might have found the face somewhat familiar.
"This is Elder Tan, a member of the company's board of directors," Jin Rongjia introduced.
Su Ming nodded slightly. "Hello, Elder Tan."
"I'm the one who should apologize, Comrade Su Ming, for delaying your urgent preparations!" Director Tan waved his hand, his tone softening slightly. He turned to Jin Rongjia, "It's just requisitioning those few pieces of active equipment from CFETR, right? They won't give them to you? Why didn't you just steal them?!" Director Tan's anger flared up again as he spoke. Especially after everyone else left, he scolded Jin Rongjia even more recklessly, "Do I, an old man, have to crawl out of bed to clean up this mess? Don't ever say you trained these men!"
"We need a large quantity of specialized equipment, and the only place we can find it within hours is CFETR," Jin Rongjia explained in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness. "Fortunately, Elder Tan personally intervened..."
"Thank you!" Su Ming said earnestly.
Outside the conference room window, the roar of heavy helicopter rotors tore through the air. Several large steel birds hovered in mid-air, their thick steel cables slowly lowering down to steadily land the equipment, encased in shockproof shells, in the designated area.
Jin Rongjia breathed a sigh of relief; the batch of ultra-high-power pulse electrical equipment had finally arrived on time.
Su Ming switched back and forth, conducting communication. Elder Tan sat to the side, drinking tea, not disturbing him.
After a brief lull in the work, Su Ming casually picked up a document from the table and noticed the classification level on it. "Is this something I can read?" "Please feel free to do as you please," Elder Tan said gently. "Yours is the highest classification level here."
Su Ming opened it. The first part, which recorded the process of taking low-temperature quantum photos of the "Gospel" material and sending them back, was something he was deeply involved in.
He then turned to the second part and found that it was related to the experiment of "macroscale quantum entanglement state", a part that Sangzi had not mentioned to him. Entanglement is a quantum relationship that is as easy to form and as easy to break as a spider web.
It is easily generated and maintained in the microscopic world, but once more particles, greater mass, and more complex macroscopic structures are involved, it will collapse within femtoseconds under environmental disturbances, and the relevant matter will rapidly decoherent, returning to the "normal state" of classical objects.
Sangzi posits that all matter is actually in some kind of entangled state. She is using Su Ming to try to verify and separate it on a large scale, and the progress she has made is astonishing.
Su Ming continued flipping through the pages, Sangzi further analyzed the situation, concluding that Su Ming had a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of his power in the "Summoning of All Things".
She suspected that Su Ming's spatial abilities were merely "opening doors" and "driving," rather than "transporting." The underlying logic of the "order" of materials during the Summoning of All Things, the transfer of materials from Earth to another world, was likely the realization of quantum entanglement between macroscopic objects.
Su Ming's spatial power, after constructing the passage, only created and maintained this physical phenomenon!
Upon seeing this, Su Ming subconsciously reached out his hand and began to carefully consider Sangzi's guess.
The entanglement in the microscopic world does not exist because of human observation; it is the most fundamental physical law of the universe, occurring every moment. This also means that the same applies to macroscopic matter.
Su Ming's consciousness seemed to have a door pushed open, and he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment! He clearly "perceived" that, across the dimensional barrier, an invisible thread tightly connected his otherworldly body to the "Myriad Phenomena Prism" with its eerie glow flowing in the Little Spiky Head's eye socket! It turned out that this crystal was the true anchor point for his cross-dimensional connection with Earth!
Su Ming instantly understood; necromancy was merely a medium and a facade, the true nature of his power was...
Bang!!!
An irresistible and indescribable force suddenly descended!
Perhaps this was merely the shallowest ripple in the ocean of laws, or perhaps just a normal surge in the cosmic sea. Su Ming's overconfident astral vision, like a fragile glass curtain wall, shattered with a deafening roar!
On the dragon's back, Su Ming suddenly clutched his head, a sharp pain piercing his brain like a blade! The Magic Power within him instantly went out of control, surging and boiling wildly around him!
Elder Qingfeng of the Azure Dragon Sect was caught off guard and was violently pushed away by this out-of-control force!
"What's going on?!" He steadied himself and scanned his surroundings with his dragon eyes, but saw no enemy in sight.
Only Su Ming, enveloped by obscure and twisted power, floated eerily in the night sky, the space around him groaning under its strain. Just a glance was enough to make Qingfeng feel a dull ache in his head—this was a level he couldn't reach!
Zijin was closest to Su Ming and was immediately thrown away!
She instantly understood the reason for the anomaly—a similar event had happened to her as well.
Living beings are always so insignificant compared to the conceptual power of creation. In the process of climbing up to the unknown at this level, if they are careless and inexperienced in triggering these forces, their own existence will be swept away without mercy.
It's like a child controlling a massive machine; if you do it right, you're in control; if you do it wrong, the situation completely reverses.
Zige watched as Su Ming continued to slide out of control, and without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his life force, his body enveloped in colorful light!
Only power at the same conceptual level can fight against a concept!
Against the destructive energy turbulence, like a moth drawn to a flame, she forced her way to Su Ming's side, pressing her hands, glowing with a soft light, to his forehead, attempting to calm the raging storm of Magic Power.
"What happened?!" Elder Zhimeng anxiously flapped her wings and approached.
Zijin's power was no match for Su Ming's out-of-control power! When she saw Zhimeng, a glimmer of hope immediately appeared in her eyes!
"Zhimeng! Seal Su Ming's memories!" Zijin shouted.
Elder Zhimeng rapidly sketched in the air, her powerful spiritual energy surging towards Su Ming like a tidal wave, only to immediately feel a terrifying pull! Fortunately, due to their repeated contact and connection with the Emerald Dream during this period, Su Ming's chaotic consciousness did not instinctively resist her power's intervention. "Qingfeng! Landing is yours!" Zhimeng shouted sharply, then focused all her attention.
Countless profound runes suddenly erupted from her center, spreading out like a galaxy. The power that originally required the Thousand Illusions Lake formation to unleash was now forcibly activated by her!
Emerald Dream; Fragment!
A faint curtain of light spread across the sky, like a veil hanging from the heavens. Ripples gathered around Su Ming, separating his spiritual world from the mortal world. Zhimeng Weaver forcibly "torn" a chunk of Su Ming's memories from the past two minutes, along with the forbidden fragments that had been touched, from his main consciousness!
These memories were quickly folded into independent dream points of light, which were then enveloped by layers of sealing runes. Only then did the Zhimeng release its mental pull, allowing the memories to return to Su Ming's sea of consciousness!
Having completed the memory sealing, Zhimeng felt as if all her strength had been drained away. Her massive dragon body went limp in mid-air, and she fainted. Qingfeng stirred up soft wind elements, steadily supporting her falling body.
The turbulent Magic Power that had been distorting space around Su Ming subsided instantly, like a raging storm being calmed.
Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, flew forward, and tightly embraced the falling Su Ming.
Su Ming opened his eyes. "I'll go look for it... Huh?"
He originally intended to find the Earth Support Team to fix the problem with "Type 59 Modified", but found that his vision suddenly changed.
Su Ming looked at the girl who was hugging him in surprise. In early June, her clothes were thin, and through the fabric, he could clearly feel the warmth of her body and her rapid heartbeat.
Elder Qingfeng, who was originally at his feet, had already landed on the ground, with Elder Zhimeng unconscious beside him. In the surrounding air, there were still a large amount of mana embers and fragments of broken spells that did not belong to the conventional elements and emitted high-level fluctuations.
Was it an attack by a powerful enemy?
"What just happened?" Su Ming frowned, trying hard to recall and grasp the gaps in his memory.
The memory seal runes, which were hastily woven, shattered in an instant.
"Don't think about it!" Zijin's internal alarm bells rang, and she urgently stopped her, "Whatever you do, don't think about it!"
"But"
Before Su Ming could finish speaking, his words came to an abrupt halt. A sweet, incredibly soft touch sealed his lips without warning—a Zige hand pressed against his.
Su Ming's mind went completely blank for a moment.
Ha?!
