Seven days later.
Through continuous digging at Base No. 3, a tunnel leading to the light curtain was unearthed.
Ye Chen then led Wang Yuxi and a team of top experts to the light screen via an elevator.
The area has now been expanded to over 300 meters, and dozens of engineers are reinforcing the space and building a temporary base.
As soon as Ye Chen stepped out of the elevator, his gaze was drawn to the enormous light screen in front of him.
He looked around, and even though it had expanded to a width of 300 meters, he still couldn't see the end of the light curtain.
Ye Chen took three steps at a time and arrived at a place about 3 meters in front of the light screen. He observed it up close and could feel the ripples of spatial fluctuations around the light screen!
"It's truly amazing! This phenomenon is completely inexplicable by current science!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
My feet unconsciously moved forward, wanting to see more clearly.
Seeing this, Wang Yuxi quickly grabbed him and pointed to the red line on the ground, saying, "Commander, it's dangerous here, we can't go any further!"
Ye Chen snapped out of his daze, smiled at Wang Yuxi, and expressed his gratitude.
He then took a step back, turned to the site supervisor who had followed him, and asked, "Has anything unusual happened here in the past few days?"
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, as you instructed, we have not approached this area for the past few days, and nothing has happened!" the person in charge replied immediately.
"Expand this area to about one kilometer, enough to build a forward research station," Ye Chen nodded and said.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
Ye Chen turned his head, looked at the light screen in front of him, and waved his right hand, ordering: "Begin all-round detection!"
Upon hearing this, the researchers behind him immediately brought out various instruments and began to conduct various probes on the light screen.
Half an hour later.
A researcher walked over and said dejectedly, "Commander-in-chief, we've tried all sorts of methods, but we can't detect any information."
"This light screen can absorb all wireless signals. We've tried every known detection method, but any detection wave disappears as soon as it gets close to this light screen, without any reflection!"
The researchers paused for a moment, then continued, "If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, judging solely from the detection data, this place would appear completely empty!"
Looking at the light screen in front of him, Ye Chen said with a delighted expression, "A black hole is a place from which even light cannot escape. Doesn't this phenomenon prove that we've found the right place?"
"But...we've tried everything, and we still can't get any information out of here. So what should we do next?"
The researchers said somewhat anxiously.
"Since wireless signals can't be transmitted, why not try wired transmission?" Ye Chen thought of the method he had used in the underwater ruins and suggested.
"We can give it a try!"
The researchers' eyes lit up, and they immediately turned around to direct the assembly.
Soon, a camera was mounted on the driverless car, with a long power line attached to the back of the camera.
The cable connects to a computer, whose screen displays live footage.
An engineer sat in front of a computer, controlling a driverless car to drive towards the light screen.
"Wait a moment."
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen immediately spoke up to stop it.
"Commander-in-chief, is there a problem?" The engineer stopped what he was doing and asked in surprise.
Ye Chen shook his head and said seriously, "You'd better operate the driverless car remotely."
After saying that, he turned and looked at everyone, saying, "Everyone, please be careful not to touch the driverless car or any objects connected to it."
Seeing the chief engineer's puzzled look, he continued to explain, "Black holes can suck in anything that enters their gravitational field. I can't tell if this driverless car is the same. Just to be on the safe side, everyone should step back a bit."
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and then kept their distance from the driverless car and the equipment connected to it.
The engineer quickly switched to a remote control and started operating the driverless car from a distance of nearly 10 meters.
As the driverless car slowly approached the light screen, everyone present couldn't help but feel tense.
As soon as the front of the driverless car entered the light curtain, the entire vehicle, the power lines connected to it, and the computers and other equipment connected to those lines seemed to be enveloped by some enormous force and were sucked into the light curtain with a "whoosh".
The engineer operating the driverless car turned deathly pale in an instant, a wave of fear washing over him.
If I had been operating the computer myself, I probably would have been sucked into the light screen too!
"Commander-in-Chief, what... what's the next step?"
Everyone looked at Ye Chen, waiting for his decision.
Ye Chen frowned, carefully examining the light screen, while mentally commanding Zhi Zi: "Search for information on the Mousse civilization's detection of black holes."
Soon, a flood of information rushed into my mind.
This information is indeed some of the methods used by the Mus civilization to detect black holes during its development.
This information does not involve specific scientific knowledge, so it does not require unlocking and can be viewed at any time.
Ye Chen quickly glanced through the list, his eyes lighting up as he discovered a solution.
Quantum communication over a distance!
The principle of quantum entanglement has been understood by humans on Earth. Long-distance communication is only related to the environmental conditions between the sender and receiver, and has nothing to do with the spacetime structure between them.
Even with an infinitely large barrier in between, quantum communication at a distance is possible, not to mention the finite event horizon of a black hole.
Black holes prevent any matter from escaping from their interior, but they cannot block discontinuous signals at a distance.
As long as the two entangled quanta are separated, one of them can be sent into the light curtain, according to the characteristics of a wormhole.
This quantum will be ejected from the other end through the wormhole.
This process involves information transmission through the entanglement between two quantum particles.
Seeing this, Ye Chen's face lit up with joy, and he had an idea in mind.
China has mastered quantum communication and is actually using it, but long-distance communication is still only in the theoretical stage.
The main reason is that Earth lacks the conditions for long-distance communication, which is one of the essential communication methods for interstellar travel.
In theory, long-distance communication can transmit information regardless of distance.
However, in practical applications, you need a way to separate two quanta by an infinite distance, which is currently not a human capability.
However, this opportunity just happened to be right in front of him, and Ye Chen looked at the light screen with anticipation in his eyes.
If the test is successful, he will not only be able to learn about the situation on the other side of the wormhole, but also unlock more technological knowledge about the Mous civilization!
This knowledge involves interstellar technology, which would normally only be accessible and unlocked after entering interstellar space.
The wormhole before us, far surpassing the technological capabilities of Earth, greatly shortened this process.
Even if it's just to unlock the technology of the Mous civilization, Ye Chen intends to continue his research here!
