Video communication.
The chief engineer is still in room 704 in the real world, and everyone from the 704 project team is there.
Lin Chong saw that the capsule had disappeared at the location of the magnetic field that was originally used for teleportation. Of course, it was teleported to Lin Chong's side.
A straight, leafless golden fairy fruit was left in its place.
It is exactly the same as the one that Lin Chong has stuck in the ground.
So Lin Chong took the camera to the living room and showed them the golden fairy fruit.
Both sides fell silent at the same time.
After a while, Lin Chong suddenly remembered something and asked immediately, "Teacher, can you touch the fruit on that tree over there?"
What kind of question is this? If you can see it, then you can touch it... The chief engineer was thinking about how to answer this question. Someone from the 704 project team was already standing next to the Golden Fairy Fruit. They carefully touched the Golden Fairy Fruit in the real world while wearing gloves.
I touched nothing.
Huh?
The man tried to reach out again, but it was as if he was grabbing air.
The golden fairy fruit branch stood there bright and green, as beautiful as a work of art, but it was impossible to touch!
The project team was simply stunned. Although they knew that today would be a big day for geophysics, the number of surprises or shocks was so big that it exceeded everyone's expectations.
At this time, Professor Yang came to the Golden Immortal Fruit, slowly reached out his hand and touched it, but found nothing. He rubbed his hand between the fruit stems for a few times, as if he was stroking this strange fruit that did not exist.
"It's still a high-dimensional projection." Professor Yang said suddenly, looking towards the camera.
"When the void particles were activated and the plant and the girl were accidentally brought to Earth, the plant was still real. But when we sent it into the magnetic field tunnel, it immediately took on the form of a high-dimensional projection. Is this... still in the process of transmission?"
During the transmission? Lin Chong and the others looked puzzled.
"I remember that the quality of the fruit was unusual and very light," Professor Yang said.
"0.2 grams." said a voice.
"Yes." Professor Yang nodded. "Assuming that it exists in an energy state, energy transmission takes time. It may only be a moment, but it is still a process. Under certain circumstances, the time required may be greater than that of pure material transmission."
"So, maybe it's still in the process, it's just a long process, but it will reach you sooner or later..."
Long? When Professor Yang mentioned this word, his expression changed.
"Have all the other items been delivered?" Professor Yang suddenly asked.
The other members of the project team also realized that this was a key problem. Could it be that all the objects sent over were high-dimensional projections? That would cause a big problem with the entire experiment.
Logically speaking, that wouldn't be the case. After all, only the shadow of this plant remained there, and the others were gone.
"It did come, but its condition is very strange." Lin Chong pointed the camera at the capsule that was moved aside, especially some 3C parts that were already mottled with rust and corrosion, and some alloy parts that were still brand new. The difference between the two conditions was very strange.
"How is this possible!" someone exclaimed, "How could those parts be so badly damaged? The vacuum diode has a service life of 100,000 hours."
"But the titanium tube is not broken. That's right, titanium is an inactive metal and will not corrode for hundreds or thousands of years..."
The person who was speaking suddenly stopped halfway through his speech, and then a strange silence spread in the air. Those present were elites from various academic fields, and they all realized a possibility.
"Lin Chong," Professor Yang said in a deep voice, "Look for a timer inside the capsule. It is powered by radiation and uses the four half-lives of carbon in it as a timer. It can work continuously for more than three thousand years. Take a look at the reading above."
The purpose of placing this timer is to verify the scientific method. Even if the transmission of matter may only take a moment, the timer must be estimated to last for the longest period of time. After all, this project is at the forefront of technology that is beyond imagination, and no one knows what will happen.
Lin Chong found the Carbon Four Half-Life Timer, a palm-sized black iron box with a line of LCD readings on it, and the readings on it were:
28161648000.828909
Still continuing to increase forward.
The last six digits were changing all the time, and Lin Chong knew they must be milliseconds and microseconds.
1 second is equal to 1000 milliseconds.
1 millisecond is equal to 1000 microseconds.
So the first few digits should be... When Lin Chong pointed the camera at the timer, he felt a slight dizziness in his head. Something incredible and beyond imagination happened, and the result it brought was...
"This reading!" Professor Yang was stunned.
Someone from the project team calculated the number of years it represented and blurted out in astonishment: "893 years!"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Lin Chong shook a little.
He suddenly understood where the little red snake had gone!
"Professor, teacher!" Lin Chong shouted to the camera, "Where is that girl? Where is the girl who was sent over with the Golden Immortal Fruit?"
"She is not in good health. Her vital signs are not stable. She has been sent to the hospital." After the chief engineer answered, he suddenly realized, "Lin Chong, you are saying that the girl is related to this transmission accident!"
"No, no, no." Lin Chong shook his head. He was a little confused. How should he explain? "Teacher, she is very important. Very important. All the unsolved mysteries are because of her. On Earth, the country should pay as much attention to Project 704 as it does to her!"
"Lin Chong, please explain it more clearly!" Professor Yang took the chief engineer and walked aside to separate them from the others. Although they were all trustworthy comrades, it was obvious that the confidentiality level of Lin Chong's words at this moment was as important as that of 704, which was another matter.
"That girl might be a demon in human form." Lin Chong said solemnly, word by word, "She is the little red snake I met in the other world."
The chief engineer and Professor Yang were no strangers to the story of the little red snake. They also knew that monsters from the other world could transform into human form, but for this transformed monster to appear in front of them was another matter entirely.
"Plan B is to activate the void particles in the little red snake and perform a 'lighthouse' type positioning. I don't know what happened, but it is very likely that after positioning, the little red snake tracked backwards, made a void jump, and reached the earth!"
"And the exchange material between me and the earth, professor, that timer has already shown some problems..." Lin Chong looked at Professor Yang.
"Yes, it took the capsule 893 years to cross the magnetic field and the boundary of the universe. Lin Chong, the distance between us is much farther than we imagined." Professor Yang has accepted this fact.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Faced with the secrets of time and space, we are like children playing with shells on the beach, trying to understand every grain of sand in the ocean."
"The time required for a monster in another world to transform into a human is about the same, so... the little red snake turned into a human." Lin Chong made the final conclusion.
"…It's incredible!" The chief engineer was shocked.
"So Lin Chong, you are right..." Professor Yang's eyes lit up, "That girl has the secret of traveling through time and space!"
"She can drive void particles. A huge amount of void particles can even travel through time and space. Activating this reaction requires a high-energy particle and a large number of observer effects..." The more Professor Yang spoke, the brighter his eyes became. Any cutting-edge scientific and technological worker must be an experimental maniac.
Looking at Professor Yang, he even wants to activate the collider again immediately and conduct an experiment.
But at this moment, a person from the project team suddenly ran in and said something in the professor's ear.
"Huh?!" The professor said in surprise, "The girl ran away?!"
