"What's the meaning?"

Tang Wenshan frowned deeply: "Isn't this long-range communication?"

"Quantum action at a distance has been experimentally verified..."

Lu Yongchang shook his head meaningfully, interrupting Tang Wenshan.

"No, this kind of long-distance communication is just a trick."

"Mr. Tang, haven't you noticed that in our long-range communication system, each device can only communicate with its corresponding device?"

"A pair of entangled photons can only create a pair of long-distance communication devices."

"And these machines can only receive messages from the other party."

“Normally, communication devices never operate on a one-to-one basis.”

Tang Wenshan's expression changed slightly.

Overwhelmed by the joy of the successful experiment, he subconsciously overlooked such an important point.

"Moreover, we must first send the corresponding terminal to the destination before we can conduct long-distance communication with the target location," Lü Yongchang continued. "This means that if we want to communicate with other civilizations, we can still only rely on electromagnetic waves, an extremely 'slow' means of communication."

"Unless we send over a quantum communication terminal first."

Tang Wenshan frowned even more deeply.

He pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "But... but this is a drawback of quantum long-distance communication, and we have no way to avoid it."

Lü Yongchang didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.

Is there really no way to avoid it?

Thinking that according to the technology tree system, they were still at the lowest level, the first-tier civilization, a hint of bitterness appeared in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

Perhaps it's simply because human technology is too underdeveloped.

...

Two weeks later.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Human Union Starship Base.

"Andrew?!"

Hong Fan's distinctive voice rang out within the base: "What are you doing here?!"

Upon seeing his former savior, Andrew's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

He laughed heartily, strode up to Hong Fan, patted Hong Fan's shoulder forcefully, and greeted Hong Fan in fluent Chinese.

"Brother Fan, have you eaten?"

Hong Fan: "...???"

Faced with such a down-to-earth question, Hong Fan replied somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, I ate."

"Hey, wait, didn't you go into hibernation? Where are your teammates?" Hong Fan asked again.

Logically speaking, an ordinary person should be on their way to the Kuiper Belt right now!

Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Hong Fan's mind.

"Could it be that you..."

Andrew nodded smugly: "I've completed the training and am now a licensed starship pilot."

"Furthermore, Brother Fan, the higher-ups said they want us to form a team with you guys."

"Wait, wait." Hong Fan's mind was a little foggy for a moment. "You guys?"

"Also, I remember you said you were going to live ordinary lives, right? What's going on here?!"

Andrew laughed heartily and put his arm around Hong Fan's shoulder: "Brother Fan, people change!"

"After going to Mars, we all had some trouble adjusting to the mundane life on Earth."

"Moreover, facing such a huge crisis in the future, we also want to protect ourselves and our families, so..."

At this point, Andrew shrugged and said, "The three of us discussed it and immediately agreed to apply for the Human Federation's starship pilot training course."

"I almost forgot!" Hong Fan's eyes flickered, and he quickly asked, "With something like this happening on Mars, are your family members alright?"

Andrew's smile grew even wider.

He waved his hand gently and said, "It's nothing!"

“As soon as the People’s Federation was established, we took them over immediately.”

"Right now, they should be near Mars, right?"

"In a few years, I plan to go and awaken them myself!"

Hong Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

That's a really good ending.

Just as Hong Fan was about to continue asking Andrew about the formation of the new team, a familiar shout came from the side.

"Andrew, what are you doing here?"

"We've been looking for you for so long, hurry up..."

Before Hong Fan could react, Andrew had already greeted the newcomers with a smile: "Bruno, Joey, look who I've run into!"

“…Hong Fan?!”

"Holy crap! Brother Fan!"

Two standard Chinese accents then rang out.

Seeing the two people rushing towards him, Hong Fan's lips twitched slightly.

To be fair, they've thoroughly figured out the culture of the Xia Kingdom.

After exchanging pleasantries, Hong Fan suppressed his smile and asked in a low voice.

"Andrew, what exactly did you mean by joining our group?"

Andrew shrugged, a look of confusion on his face.

"I'm not entirely sure either; that's the notification we received."

"According to the notice, we should still have tasks to perform at that time."

Didn't you receive a notification?

Hong Fan looked puzzled and slowly shook his head.

"never mind!"

He shook his head dismissively: "I guess the higher-ups haven't had time yet!"

"Come on, let me show you our team's dormitory."

"Let me tell you, you're in luck if you join our team."

"We're a veteran team after all, so the dorm environment here is top-notch!"

"I'm not bragging, it's definitely the best dormitory in the base!"
