Chapter 1176: Chapter 573: The Turning Point When Communication Technology Surpasses International Standards_1
After uncovering the basic properties of spatial connections, Zhao Yi and the theoretical team spent over a week thoroughly researching Spatial Connection Technology.
It is called ’technology’ because the underlying reason why space can exhibit connective properties is unknown; there is no fundamental theory to support it. It’s like discovering a law of nature without understanding why such a law exists.
Of course, this didn’t hinder the use of the technology.
Spatial connections are fundamentally based on spatial wave fluctuations as space absorbs energy. These fluctuations are not as simple as light or sound waves, resembling the disorder of particle motion in the microscopic world. They are extremely complex and cannot be explained by a single value. Instead, they encompass many values, which are related to factors like the number, direction, and arrangement of the light beams creating the spatial fluctuations.
Once there were no technical issues, it was possible to start building devices based on the technology.
The anti-gravity team built two somewhat bulky spatial connection communication devices, each shaped like a disc about two meters in diameter and half a meter thick.
The center of the device housed a battery, connected to a plug for charging.
After the devices were built, the team placed one of them with the theoretical group and the other at Yanhua University Intelligent and Automation Laboratory. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
This was mainly to facilitate Zhao Yi.
The first connection experiment was conducted between these two locations, and senior leaders observed it. Because Yanhua University was more convenient, one of them went there to watch the experiment alongside Zhao Yi. The device underwent complex tuning because it initially couldn’t connect, and detailed adjustments were made, with Zhao Yi even getting his hands dirty.
After more than an hour of effort, when even the senior leaders felt that the experiment may fail, the two devices finally linked up.
This was definitely a historic moment.
When the leadership saw several people from the theoretical group and their surroundings projected into the center of the room specifically emptied for the device, they were profoundly shocked. The reaction from the theoretical group was similar, as many had always been involved in theoretical research, and only a few like Zhao Yi and Ruan Wenye had actually seen projected images. Many people had doubted the success of the experiment.
Now, they were extremely surprised and amazed. The images of Zhao Yi, the senior leaders, and the staff were projected into the main hall of the theoretical group’s base, making everyone feel incredulous at the sight. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"It’s successful!"
"It really succeeded, a brand-new communication technology, Spatial Connection Technology!"
"If this gets out, it’s going to be huge!"
"Direct spatial connections, and not much energy was consumed..."
"The device’s power is only around twenty thousand watts..."
Twenty thousand watts may sound modest, but it’s relative to the experimental environment. It would be difficult to spread its use in households, as standard domestic circuits risk burning out if they exceed five thousand watts.
When the experiment concluded, one of the senior leaders inquired with interest, "Can the device be reduced in size?"
"Of course, it can."
Zhao Yi said with a smile, "What we have now are simply prototypes. Theoretically, the current power could easily support a connection to the Moon."
"The Moon? Is it that exaggerated?" The leader was so surprised that their mouth fell open.
Zhao Yi nodded, "The distance of a spatial connection is calculated in astronomical units. I was being conservative just now. With some increase in power, we could even support a connection to Mars. If we just want to cover the distance across Earth, we only need to bridge over ten thousand kilometers, and we can do that with a thousand-fold reduction in power."
"Twenty watts?" The leader did some quick calculations and couldn’t help but open their mouth in astonishment.
Zhao Yi nodded, "Twenty watts is already quite a lot. If we only want to cover the domestic range, theoretically, we could make the device small enough to fit on a fingertip, and it could be integrated into computers and mobile phones. However, the manufacturing technology required for this is incredibly advanced. The world’s most sophisticated precision processing techniques might just be able to achieve it..."
He was somewhat uncertain.
Zhao Yi did not have an extensive understanding of the fields of precision manufacturing and processing, having only a rough idea and not being clear on the specifics.
For this, it’s best to consult professionals, such as experts from high-end chip and integrated circuit companies. High-end precision machining will undoubtedly involve many technical challenges.
Zhao Yi continued to discuss technical issues, "Currently, we’ve established a connection between two points, but in practice, we could make a one-to-many connection, though it can only be unidirectional. Moreover, the side outputting the image consumes relatively more energy."
"Actually, the technical challenges lie in encryption and standardization, which are basically the same problem. Our current method of connection maintains the same arrangement and frequency of operations for both devices and requires continuous adjustments to establish a connection."
"Maybe even for the next connection, we will have to perform complex tuning. Any slight deviation will prevent connection."
"To solve this problem, we need more people and more companies to participate, to create a connection standard. This will make connections smoother. Right now, we can only achieve a connection with experimental devices, so setting a standard hardly makes sense."
"Encryption and standardization are essentially the same because there are countless spatial fluctuations. Elements like power, number of light beams, position, and direction – a deviation in any of these can result in differences."
