Seeing the joy on Ye Chen's face, the others asked, "Commander-in-Chief, have you thought of a good idea?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Let's try quantum communication; it might work."
Professor Pan, who was in the quantum field, hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander-in-Chief, we have also considered quantum communication. Although quantum particles cannot be destroyed by black holes, the communication instruments may not be preserved. If it is just a single quantum particle, it does not meet the conditions for communication at all."
Ye Chen said, "Professor Pan, we don't know much about the characteristics of wormholes. Judging from the records of mythological civilizations, since they evacuated through here, they wouldn't have sought their own death if they weren't confident."
"Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways."
Professor Pan thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed with Ye Chen's words. He then said, "Commander-in-Chief, please wait a moment. I will contact the base to send over the quantum communication equipment."
After saying that, he contacted his team at Base 3 and asked them to send the equipment down as quickly as possible.
With the improvement of the lunar base's functions, many scientific research projects can now be carried out.
In recent days, many research teams from China and the Mousse Group have arrived to conduct scientific research experiments in the lunar environment.
Professor Pan's team happens to be conducting research on quantum communication at Base No. 3.
The discovery of what appears to be a wormhole has drawn the attention of scientists from all aspects of lunar exploration.
Three hours later, the quantum communication device was delivered.
Professor Pan immediately set it up and handed a terminal device similar to a pedometer to Ye Chen, introducing it to everyone: "This is a second-generation quantum communication device. Our team has combined the signal transmitter and receiver into one and reduced the overall weight, enabling handheld communication."
As he spoke, he picked up another terminal device and said, "Each of these two devices contains an entangled quantum. Through their mutual influence, information can be transmitted. Of course, at present, only simple information transmission can be achieved."
"Commander, you can try pressing the numbers above, and the corresponding numbers will be displayed on my device screen."
Ye Chen took the terminal device and pressed a 5 on the button.
Sure enough, the number 5 appeared on the screen of the device in Professor Pan's hand.
Ye Chen nodded and asked, "Let's try it first, Professor Pan. Do you use Morse code for communication?"
Professor Pan shook his head and replied, "Our team has designed a special cryptographic system. Commander-in-Chief, do you mean to send this system in as well?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "No need, I have a better communication password."
He was thinking about the mysterious symbols he had found in the temple, since those symbols were left by people from a mythical civilization.
If they still exist on the other side of the wormhole, then they can master the password composed of these symbols as quickly as possible.
So he instructed, "Zhi Zi, based on the information left behind by the mythological civilization, recompile a communication code comparison table."
"Yes, Master." Tomoko's voice came through the spacesuit's earpiece.
The above channels are shared only by him and Zhizi; no one else knows about them.
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, their terminal devices received a communication code lookup table composed of special symbols.
No one objected to this; as long as communication can transmit information, it doesn't really matter what kind of reference table is used.
Professor Pan quickly input the new password table into the quantum communication terminal device.
After testing it and finding no errors, he nodded to Ye Chen.
Next, the engineers, who were already prepared, fixed a terminal device to the driverless car and remotely controlled it to move towards the light screen.
Everyone's eyes followed the movement of the driverless car.
Finally, the front of the driverless car touched the light curtain.
The next moment, the driverless car was sucked in.
Everyone's gaze sharpened, and then they all turned to the other terminal device in Professor Pan's hand.
Professor Pan smiled wryly and said, "It's no use looking at me. There won't be any results so quickly. We have no idea what's going on at the other end of the wormhole."
"Moreover, we don't know if the other device is intact. Even if it is, whether there are any intelligent beings on the other side of the wormhole who have discovered the device and transmitted information to it is all unknown."
Another scientist asked, "Are we just supposed to wait now?"
Professor Pan nodded and said, "Yes, but quantum entanglement is affected by distance. As the distance increases, quantum entanglement will gradually weaken and eventually disappear completely. We call this the 'dissipation' of quantum entanglement. Based on this, we can calculate the distance."
"At what distance will quantum entanglement disappear?" the scientist continued.
"I don't know. We don't have the conditions to measure it on Earth right now. I can only say that at the farthest points on Earth, quantum entanglement has not weakened at all."
Professor Pan stated frankly, and then explained, "Even if we go to the moon this time, the degree of reduction in quantum entanglement we measure will be less than 0.00000000001%, which is almost equivalent to no reduction. We can't even be sure if it's a problem with the instrument's precision or if there has actually been some reduction."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "No matter what, there will be a result this time. Theoretically, quantum mechanics cannot be destroyed by black holes. Even if the terminal device is gone, another quantum mechanic will still exist, and we will be able to know how far away the other end of the wormhole is from us."
Professor Pan nodded deeply, his face beaming with joy. The successful completion of this experiment was a milestone for the entire quantum field.
While they were talking, Professor Pan had already inserted the terminal device in his hand into an instrument specifically designed to measure the degree of quantum entanglement.
"The results are in: the degree of quantum entanglement has decreased by 1%."
Suddenly, Professor Pan exclaimed, his voice filled with delight: "A 1% reduction can eliminate instrument error, indicating that the degree of quantum entanglement is weakening."
Everyone quickly went behind him, and saw that the data on the instrument was still jumping!
Soon, the value reached 2%, then quickly rose to 3%, then 4%, and finally settled at 5%.
After some calculations, Professor Pan said with a trembling voice, "If we use the rate of decrease in distance from the Moon to Earth as a standard, then the next quantum distance is approximately..."
He swallowed hard and said, "1000-1200 light-years."
His figure shocked everyone present, and they all swallowed hard.
A distance of over 1,000 light-years! That's a daunting distance!
Now, this world 1,000 light-years away has actually made some connection with them!
Everyone present had a sense of unreality.
