On the ground.
Hearing Zhao Zhiming's words.
Academician Pan was montarily stunned and asked in surprise:
"Xiaozhao, what did you say?
Are you sure the spiritual energy disappeared through the array?"
Zhao Zhiming confidently nodded at him and pointed at the screen, saying:
"Academician Pan, this is exactly what the equipnt shows.
This ti, for spiritual energy detection, we used the spiritual energy micro-sensing technology developed by Researcher Wang Qiang's team, which has very high precision in tracking spiritual energy within a fixed area.
According to the detection from these devices,
Almost at the sa ti Y particles appeared, a surge of unknown spiritual energy suddenly erged in the space, and the majority of it was transmitted away through the array.
The remaining part of the spiritual energy stayed in the space with the Y particles, scattering around unpredictably.
If nothing unexpected happens,
This portion of spiritual energy is what we detected here on the cliff. It overflowed and settled here through the cyclone entrance."
Looking at the screen display.
Academician Pan opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
To be honest,
This discovery, though different from his predictions, was far from a flop.
After all, conducting scientific research requires courage to make bold hypotheses. If this judgnt is considered a failure, then no one would dare to propose such conjectures.
Thus, Academician Pan's expression didn't show the embarrassnt of societal ruin but rather contained a touch of joy and a lot of confusion.
The joy is because the disappearance of the spiritual energy proved his judgnt about certain rune characteristics to be correct.
They are indeed transmission runes.
It's just that the array's function is not as he thought, transferring material from outside in, but rather transporting spiritual energy outwards.
At least, in terms of the rune properties, the achievents and direction of the spatial research group aren't problematic.
It's relatively good news.
Doing scientific research is like solving exam questions.
If soone tells you that you got all the multiple-choice questions right when you're halfway through the paper, your confidence would naturally rise a bit.
The confusion is straightforward.
Where exactly does the spiritual energy originate from?
And where are they being transmitted to?
Leaving aside the latter for now, the origin theoretically should be discernible.
The 'unknown origin' Zhao Zhiming ntioned is mainly due to the insufficient number of monitoring devices currently.
Thinking of this,
Academician Pan said to Zhao Zhiming:
"Xiaozhao, is there a way you can conduct a gas trace of the spiritual energy?"
Zhao Zhiming hesitated for a few seconds at these words and pointed at Wang Qiang, saying:
"You might need to ask Researcher Wang about this, since the equipnt's technology support cos from her team..."
Hearing this, Academician Pan turned around and looked at Wang Qiang with an inquiring gaze.
Seeing this, Wang Qiang gently shook her head:
"Academician Pan, you should know.
Currently, we mainly rely on cultivators to sense the spiritual energy, let alone tracing its origin.
Our spiritual energy micro-sensing equipnt was just developed recently, mainly targeting spiritual energy sensing within fixed areas, and tracing origins is indeed very challenging.
And at present, our detection personnel can't enter the space, making human exploration impossible.
Therefore, until we reach a certain number of these devices, we probably can't determine the source of the spiritual energy.
Of course,
We could also try guessing so areas blindly like smashing golden eggs, perhaps asking Teacher Mingmou or Director Fei Qiu to try, but such possibilities are nearly zero."
Hearing this, Academician Pan supported his chin with his hand and asked again:
"Xiao Wang, what's the production rate for this spiritual energy micro-sensing equipnt?"
Wang Qiang thought for a mont and said:
"Spiritual energy micro-sensing device requires a special rune as the sensing core. Currently, Hua Jun Academician Hua's talisman group hasn't found a way to mass-produce the runes.
So, to prepare enough equipnt to fully monitor the spiritual energy in the Celestial Palace area.....
At least five months, I think."
Academician Pan's expression didn't change, but the fingers pinching his chin involuntarily added a bit more pressure:
"Five months, huh..."
At this ti,
Lin Ziming, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:
"Academician Pan, I've always had a question to ask.
If the equipnt is limited....
Is there any way we could increase the entrance area, or dispatch smaller personnel to collect information?
Even if they're not cultivators, the information human effort can collect is much more than machines, right?"
The cyclone entrance's size is 30X30 centiters, under normal circumstances, it definitely isn't doable for ordinary people to enter.
But considering Huaxia's large population, it might be possible to find a few suitable candidates if needed.
The number might not be large, but it wouldn't be zero either.
Even if they're not within the system, it's no problem.
At worst, we pay them millions, arrange for them to stay in the Damo Realm for a few years afterward.
In such circumstances, a million or ten million in reward, if there's a suitable candidate, even giving them a hundred million would be reasonable.
When dealing with dostic spiritual energy issues, money is really just a number.
However, to Lin Ziming's surprise, Academician Pan shook his head:
"Colonel Lin, you're thinking too simply.
The entrance definitely can't be expanded; the size of the internal marker is the limit of our thods.
As for sending personnel...
First of all, the temperature in the space is about minus sixty degrees, just this temperature requires heavy protective gear.
Even if using a thod of transporting separately from clothing, non-professionals won't be able to imdiately work.
Not to ntion there's a lot of gamma rays near the space's edge, along with a large amount of positrons...
The current Celestial Palace space is like a thane-filled chamber; any mishap could lead to big problems."
With that, Academician Pan looked at the sky, then at Wang Qiang, and continued:
"If our preparation period was three years, five years, or even ten years, I might support sending people into the space.
Because we really can't afford to wait that long; ti doesn't wait for us.
But if it's only five months...
I don't think that kind of risk is worth taking."
Academician Pan spoke these words with sincerity; it's clear that his thoughts aligned internally.
It must be said,
Academician Pan actually made a very good point.
As ntioned before, positrons are a form of antimatter.
Under normal circumstances, antimatter encountering ordinary matter can result in an annihilation reaction.
For example, positrons and electrons.
Note,
This reaction isn't an explosion nor destruction, but annihilation.
0.5 grams of antimatter annihilation produces energy roughly equivalent to what the atomic bomb on Hiroshima did.
Though,
This reaction is essentially the principle for gamma ray production, so most positrons in the space wouldn't react with other substances.
But as the saying goes, it's not about the absolute thousand; it's about the unforeseen one.
While chanical equipnt may be safe with certain protections, it's very difficult for the human body to achieve antimatter protection.
Given the disparities and considering so failing peers, this won't be explained here in detail.
Then, Academician Pan recalled sothing and said to Zhao Zhiming:
"Xiaozhao, have you found the light source in the space?
Where do the light rays originate from?"
Zhao Zhiming's lips curled into a faint apologetic smile, and he shook his head slightly:
"Academician Pan, I apologize...
We've analyzed the spectrum energy levels across the space and found that the light intensity is consistent everywhere within the space.
Besides, the motion trajectory of each photon is quite... um, free.
So currently, we really don't have the capability to identify the light source."
The so-called freedom is naturally Zhao Zhiming's tactful phrasing.
In simpler terms, the photon trajectories within the space are... quite chaotic.
In such conditions, determining the light source is indeed not an easy task.
By this point, what needed to be decided has been more or less decided.
Then Lin Ziming looked at Academician Pan, who nodded slightly to him in understanding.
Seeing this, Lin Ziming took a deep breath and said:
"In that case, Academician Pan, Academician Li, Xiao Wang.
Please compile reports on your respective findings and unresolved issues for , we will...
fight again in five months!"
