This statement seems to be somewhat idealistic.
Voidon, exists when used? Does not exist when not used? That’s simply illogical!
However, the other three were stunned.
If someone with little understanding of physics heard Zhao Yi’s words, they would surely think he was joking, but they were all top theoretical physicists, and immediately thought of a famous experiment--
The double-slit interference experiment.
At the same time, they also thought of a very magical definition--
Wave-Particle Duality.
There is a definition where microscopic particles can be considered both waves and particles, but when needed, they can be seen as waves, and when other needs arise, as particles.
This sounds incredible, but it’s indeed a real physical law.
The thought-provoking aspects of the double-slit interference experiment and the definition of Wave-Particle Duality are somewhat frightening. The double-slit interference experiment is very famous. It involves shooting a beam of electrons through a double slit, placing a detection screen behind the slits, and also installing high-definition cameras at the entrance to record the trajectories of the electrons.
Then, the experiment produced phenomena that were inexplicable.
With the cameras on, the individual electrons emitted showed images on the detection screen that were parallel, with bright fringes corresponding to the double slits.
However, when the cameras were turned off, the detection screen displayed many interfering stripes instead.
Then, continuing to turn the cameras on and off, the results remained the same. Later, some physicists used photons, atoms, and molecules in their experiments and observed the same phenomena.
This made one wonder, "Do these particles know they are being observed by humans?"
The particles showed different forms; when observed by humans, they took the form of particles, and when not observed, the form of waves.
Being both particles and waves, this is the famous Wave-Particle Duality.
Materialism posits that the world objectively exists, with matter determining consciousness, yet the double-slit interference experiment posed a challenge to the philosophical concept of materialism.
The existence and non-existence of Voidon proposed by Zhao Yi now resembled both the double-slit interference experiment and Wave-Particle Duality.
At the same time, his viewpoint was logical, because naturally occurring spatial connections in the universe are extremely rare, thus the question of different regions of Voidon being adjacent or not is seldom an issue.
Therefore, it is reasonable to define a Voidon that does not participate in related issues as a ’silent Voidon,’ for other Voidons would never encounter such a problem.
This was not proven to exist but was only a definition for the hypothetical Voidon that provided a good explanation for the problems encountered in theoretical research.
"This statement is viable."
"We can understand it this way, and we can also use it to explain the theoretical problems of space channels."
"We could also consider the possibility of increasing the material transportation ratio."
Zhao Yi’s ’hypothetical definition’ excited everyone else, and they began to use it as a basis for their research on how to provide theoretical explanations and how to design future experiments.

As the theoretical group continued their research, the Lunar Excitation Project also took its first step, with the transport ship successfully departing from the Aerospace Bureau’s launch center and arriving at the Moon thirty-three hours later.
After the transport ship reached the Moon, Zhao Yi arrived at the Aerospace Bureau.
The journey of the transport ship to the Moon was not a space shuttle operation because the distance was very short, only three hundred thousand kilometers, and there was no need for space shuttling.
"How much longer?" Zhao Yi asked directly upon reaching the control center.
"Twenty minutes."
After the transport ship arrived at the Moon, it would land within half an hour by reducing its speed.
This speed was very fast. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The transport ship was different from a probe; it had its power system and could activate the anti-gravity system using solar power transmission.
With the effects of the anti-gravity system, as soon as the speed reduction reached a certain level, it could land directly.
This Moon landing was broadcast live to the global audience, and the rapid landing of the transport ship on the Moon caused a worldwide exclamation.
Laypeople enjoy the spectacle, while professionals scrutinize the technique.
The ability to land directly on the Moon in just half an hour upon arrival demonstrated the advanced nature of the anti-gravity system for space exploration.
Some probes landing on the moon needed at least several hours to touch down, and most of them were crash-landings, whereas a transport ship of such a vast size managed to land smoothly, without even stirring up a breeze, making it feel incredibly advanced.
Agencies in other countries with anti-gravity technology also began to hope their own anti-gravity spacecraft could explore other planets.
This was possible in the future, even in the short term, as their mastery of anti-gravity technology was sufficient to land on the moon.
Quickly.
The transport ship arrived steadily at the moon. The rear hatch of the ship opened, and a lot of materials and equipment were automatically transported down, guided by tractors.
The bulk of materials transported to the moon felt like the completion of a major project.
"It seems the Lunar Base project is not just a plan; it’s already in motion," someone observed.
"Yixing Company is really amazing, they’ve started constructing the Lunar Base directly."
"Right now we’re not seeing the base itself, but just the initial transport phase. I’ve seen their detailed plans, the first step is to transport the Lunar Base vehicles, to explore the moon’s surface, and to find a location for establishing the base," another remarked.
"What about the Lunar Base vehicles?"
Many people were concerned about this, but all they could do was wait.
After a two-hour-long transport, the Lunar Base vehicle finally appeared in the camera’s view, and two astronauts could be seen on top of the vehicle.
They were operating the Lunar Base vehicle in their spacesuits.
In fact, there were four astronauts assigned to this mission, with Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian responsible for the Lunar Base tasks, while Zhang Liping and Zhou Zhen remained aboard the transport ship, tasked with delivering materials to the moon.
Then, the transport ship could return.
Zhou Zhen and Zhang Liping would not set foot on the moon; they wouldn’t even disembark from the transport ship, and during the entire mission, they wouldn’t even need to wear spacesuits, just working from the cockpit of the ship.
This was primarily because disembarking and setting foot on the moon’s surface would require isolation upon return, for fear it might affect their health.
Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian, on the other hand, operated the Lunar Base vehicle and began their moon mission right after disembarking from the transport ship.
Once the Lunar Base vehicle rolled out of the transport ship, the rear hatch closed, and then the transport ship initiated its return to Earth.
The live broadcast no longer showed the transport ship.
Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian walked out of the Lunar Base vehicle and stood in front of the connecting equipment, posing together in front of the camera and a flag for a photo.
This photo session also included Yixing’s brand logo.
After returning to the vehicle, it started to operate, first unfolding itself to establish a small cabin where they could move around.
At the same time, the vehicle’s solar power transmission system was activated.
The vehicle’s solar power transmission system was different from that of a satellite, more similar to the Unlimited Power Automobile, but with much higher power output: reaching two hundred kilowatts.
That was a fairly astonishing figure.
The power system of a space station was only a little over one hundred kilowatts.
Two hundred kilowatts was enough to support the operations of the Lunar Base and power up its various internal devices.
The final view of the live broadcast showed Zhang Wenhua and Deng Jian back inside the cabin, preparing to take off their spacesuits, and then the camera feed was cut.
The work of the two astronauts on the moon had just begun, and to conserve energy and for convenience, they wouldn’t always be connected with Earth. They would only link up when necessary, otherwise they would just report in regularly.
Zhao Yi had observed the entire process without any surprises. As long as there were no problems with the mission, there was nothing else to worry about.
Success was expected.
After the transport ship completed its mission, Zhao Yi did not leave immediately but went to the Astronaut Basic Training Center instead, just a few kilometers away from the Aerospace Bureau.
He was going to see Li Renzhe.
Once Li Renzhe was confirmed for the lunar work, Zhao Yi had him join astronaut training, which he should have been attending for half a month by now.
Half a month was neither long nor short.
Zhao Yi was very interested in Li Renzhe’s situation.
Astronaut training would be tough, and he wondered whether Li Renzhe could endure it with his physical condition.
