Chapter 1203: Chapter 1196: Binary Particle Entanglement Theory

"This is an opportunity that I’ve worked hard to secure for you all, so don’t waste it," Wang Xu continued, "Also, you should really thank your Teacher Zhu for the chance to be dispatched this time."

"There’s no need to thank me, I do indeed need some assistants, and I also think that Luo’er and the others are quite suitable," he had just finished speaking when Zhuyan Yu chimed in.

"I heard that Teacher Zhu originally had her own research project, right?" Luo’er asked.

"Oh, I handed it over to Nightingale to study, and when the results come out, I’ll just hang my name on it," Zhuyan Yu said, though her tone seemed to carry a hint of regret.

"What was the research about?" Cheng Ziang asked curiously.

"The Elemental Particle Entanglement Theory of magic Yuanzi," Zhuyan Yu had yet to speak when Baiyue interjected.

"That sounds oddly discordant..." Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but comment.

"However, I seem to have heard that Nightingale has already confirmed the feasibility of the theory," Baiyue said with a furrowed brow and a serious expression.

"Wow, how do you know all this?" Hu Daoke couldn’t help asking curiously.

"Because I used to be her assistant," Baiyue answered as a matter of course.

"I see..." everyone nodded and said.

"Indeed, the theory was confirmed a year ago, and the Otherworld Magic Weapon Research Center has already developed some new weapons based on it. Since you’re about to set out, let’s go take a look later," Wang Xu said.

"Are you having us test new weapons again?" Cheng Ziang asked with a pained expression.

"This time it’s different, this time it’s something proven to be reliable before we let you use it," Wang Xu explained.

"Those people in the research center are always confident about everything they develop, but when something goes wrong, we’re the ones who suffer," Cheng Ziang said, spreading his hands.

"It seems like ever since the last incident with the boss, those guys have become much more cautious and don’t dare to brag anymore," Hu Daoke said.

After the meeting adjourned, the group did not leave immediately but followed Wang Xu to the research department of Sheng Hua. This place once was a branch of the Otherworld Research Center, but now, as its importance grew, it had become the headquarters, while Haiya had become the branch.

Nightingale was busy in her lab when she heard that Zhuyan Yu wanted to understand the progress of her research, so she led the group to a small conference room, ready to explain her findings to them.

Once everyone was seated, Nightingale turned on the holographic projector and swiped through it with proficiency. She had been spending a lot of time on Earth in recent years and was very adept at using these modern devices. Soon, she had pulled up the necessary PowerPoint presentation and was ready to begin her explanation to the group.

"Due to the lack of effective observation tools, we can only rely on the research experience of our predecessors, combined with some objectively existing physical phenomena for essential deduction," Nightingale said, "Three years ago, Teacher Zhuyan Yu handed me the relevant materials, and after two years of research, I finally discovered the basic unit of magic power, the Yuanzi Group."

"We all know that Earth’s matter is basically made up of molecules, and molecules are made up of atoms bonded in a certain order and spatial arrangement. Going further, atoms are made up of atomic nuclei and electrons that coil around them. So, I was thinking, although the physical rules of the scientific side and the magic side differ, the theories constituting matter at the microscopic level should be largely the same."

"Throughout history, there has been much debate over the existence of magic power among those who practice true magic. The mainstream view still supports the idealist theory, which suggests that magic power is born from the mind and dissipates when the mind is still. Another view is that magic is a power bestowed by gods, and the more devout the mage, the stronger the power they can wield."

"However, evidence has proven this is not the case. We have seen that even the most faithful followers can sometimes be unable to use magic power, a phenomenon that is quite common. This indicates that the ability to use magic power has no connection to one’s devotion; it is purely a matter of individual constitution. Therefore, if idealism cannot explain the origins and existence of magic power, might it be possible to deduce it through materialism?"

"The answer is yes. Although we lack the sophisticated observational devices to study the behavior of magic power, we can draw on Earth’s experience with observing microscopic materials to attempt to deduce the basic composition of magic. On this basis, we have derived a complete formula for the magic power unit. Next, I will briefly introduce several properties of magic power..."

"Firstly, we believe that a basic unit of magic power should be composed of two fundamental particles. The unit of magic power is called the Yuanzi Group, and the fundamental particles that make up the Yuanzi Group are divided into positive and negative particles, but I prefer to call them Yang Yin particles and Yin particles."

"The Yin and Yang particles chase and entwine each other, constituting the most basic Yuanzi Group, which is the elementary unit of magic power. We think that all the magic power on the magic side is made up of interactions between Yin particles and Yang particles. This is the binary particle entanglement theory of the magic Yuanzi."

"If this view is correct, then many magical phenomena on the magic side can be explained. First, why are spells capable of guiding magic power? It is generally believed that Yang particles are more lively and easily influenced by sound waves of specific frequencies, thereby driving the movement of the entire Yuanzi Group and forming spell magic."

"Secondly, why can specific Rune Magic Circles attract the convergence of atmospheric magic power? It’s generally believed that Yin particles are more stable and prone to sedimentation. When Yang particles are guided by spells, due to their stability and tendency to settle, Yin particles are more likely to converge into the Rune Magic Circle, thereby producing the corresponding effect. This is the basic composition of the magic Yuanzi Group. Have you all understood?" Nightingale asked.

"Just keep talking and don’t ask if we understand; we definitely don’t," Hu Daoke said, spreading his hands.

"Well then, it seems I’m preaching to the choir," Nightingale shrugged with an indifferent expression.

"He may be a choir, but we are all human," Cheng Ziang pointed at Hu Daoke and said.

"Based on the above viewpoints, let’s delve deeper into some basic properties of the Yuanzi Group, starting with the uniqueness of particles."

"Let’s label a Yuanzi Group as A, then the Yang particle in the Yuanzi Group is A+, and the Yin particle is A-. The uniqueness of the particles within Yuanzi Group A manifests in that particle A+ will only entwine with A-."

"Suppose we exchange the B+ particle from Yuanzi Group B with A+ from Yuanzi Group A, the groups can still function as magic power units. However, A+ and B+ will eventually return to their original Yuanzi Groups to maintain their integrity. This is the uniqueness of particles, where A+ will only entwine with A-, and B+ will only entwine with B-...and so on."

"Here, I want to clarify a most basic fact. The basic unit of magic power is the Yuanzi Group, which can only be even numbers; there are no odd numbers, because even numbers offer the most stable entanglement. Furthermore, in order to form a fundamental Yuanzi Group, a Yin particle must correspond to a Yang particle with the same number. There are no Yuanzi Groups in the world with only Yin or only Yang particles, nor are there any odd-numbered Yuanzi Groups. No matter how we handle them, the particles will always return to a stable even number group, and they are unique to each other," Nightingale explained painstakingly.

"It’s getting more and more incomprehensible..." Luo’er exclaimed sincerely.

"Isn’t it normal not to understand, after all, you are not researchers; you are laypeople," Zhuyan Yu consoled. But by her expression, she seemed to grasp only the basics herself.

Although it was she who had originally handed over the research findings to Nightingale, she had been busy preparing for the East Continent expedition over the past three years and had no time to keep up with this research, naturally falling more and more out of touch. Scientific research is just like that; if you haven’t been involved for a year or two, you essentially become an outsider.

Nightingale ignored their conversation and became more excited as she spoke. She simply continued on, regardless of whether they understood or not.

"Based on the hypothetical example just mentioned, we can deduce another property of magic particles: synchronicity."

"After exchanging particles A+ and B+, Yuanzi Group A now comprises B+ and A-, while Yuanzi Group B comprises A+ and B-. As a result, Yuanzi Groups A and B will exhibit synchronicity. That is, when Yuanzi Group A operates along a certain trajectory, Yuanzi Group B will also follow the same trajectory. Thus, even if the two groups are far apart, they will display synchronicity," Nightingale said.
