Chapter 22 Quantum Dislocation Crystals
The atmosphere in the laboratory was tense and silent. Although every detail had been carefully checked many times, the researchers were still filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

After all, this is a quantum field controlled fusion experiment. Even the smallest error may lead to unimaginable serious consequences.

"Are you ready?" Fang Yan stood behind the huge high-strength composite glass, his voice steady and clear.

"Surveillance is functioning normally!"

"Parameter calibration completed!"

"Cooling system standby!"

As the researchers responded one after another, Fang Yan took a deep breath and gave the start command.

"start."

The start button was pressed instantly and the quantum field generator began to operate.

At first, the entire device just made a slight buzzing sound, like the rapid flapping of a bee's wings.

Then, under the stimulation of electromagnetic pulses, the quantum dislocation crystal emitted a faint blue light, which gradually became stronger, enveloping the entire laboratory in blue light.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the surveillance screen intently.

The data stream scrolls rapidly, showing various parameters such as the strength of the quantum field, the temperature of the plasma, and the core pressure.

Suddenly, a piece of data on the screen began to fluctuate rapidly like a roller coaster, and everyone's mood became tense.

"Don't panic, the feedback system is being adjusted." Fang Yan said calmly.

Sure enough, the quantum field stabilization system responded quickly, and the superconducting feedback loop quickly adjusted its parameters.

After just a few seconds, the data returned to normal, the quantum field finally stabilized, and the plasma was firmly controlled in the central area without any signs of escape.

"The ignition was successful!" A young researcher was the first to break the silence and couldn't help but raise his arms and shout.

However, the vast majority of people were not in a hurry to celebrate, but were still waiting and observing silently.

ten minutes…

One hour…

two hours...

Every second seemed to be extremely long, and everyone seemed to be enduring the torment of anxiety, fearing that the plasma would escape during operation or the cooling system would overheat and overload.

However, what everyone was worried about never happened. The ion generator remained stable. Although there were occasional slight disturbances that caused fluctuations in the data, they were quickly suppressed by the feedback system.

"Okay, the experiment is over."

"Shut down the quantum field generator."

As soon as Fang Yan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the laboratory was instantly ignited, and people began to cheer and celebrate, high-fiving and hugging each other.

"We did it!"

“It’s unbelievable that it ran so smoothly on the first run!”

"This is quantum field technology! It's more advanced and more powerful than the entire galaxy!"

“Awesome!
“The boss is awesome!”

Everyone was overjoyed, their nervousness and anxiety melting into tears and smiles. Even Fang Yan smiled, a rare achievement. Though usually calm, he felt a sense of relief. The development of the quantum field generator wasn't entirely smooth sailing. Fang Yan and his team encountered numerous challenges, particularly the acquisition and processing of quantum dislocation crystals, which proved a real headache for Fang Yan.

Quantum dislocation crystals are not only extremely difficult and complex to manufacture, but once subjected to strong electromagnetic interference, the quantum dislocation characteristics of the crystal will be destroyed and the ability to generate quantum fields will be lost.

To this end, Fang Yan had to specially design an electromagnetic isolation container to protect the crystal.

In any case, the difficulties were finally over, and Fang Yan actually made a quantum field generator while making the best use of the earth's resources.

Once we have this key core component, the complete fusion device will be a piece of cake.

……

Back in the office, Fang Yan, as a qualified hands-off boss, said to Li Muyun calmly, "Even if I don't participate in the next work, there shouldn't be any problems. I plan to go back to the White Dome to do some other research. You can keep an eye on this."

Li Muyun was slightly startled. "Although the quantum field generator experiment was successful, there are still many other components that need to be manufactured and tested. After all, a fusion reactor is a complex whole. Even the smallest missing link will lead to failure."

Fang Yan smiled slightly. "You should have more confidence in everyone. I have already designed the entire plan. As long as we follow it step by step, there will be no problems."

"In the entire plan, there is only one point that requires special attention, and that is the quantum dislocation crystal."

"As long as we can keep the secret of the dislocation crystal, even if others get the blueprints, it will be impossible to imitate them. Because the structure, manufacturing process, and all the technical details of the dislocation crystal are all here, and they don't appear in any other materials or drawings."

Fang Yan said this while pointing to his head.

"What makes quantum dislocation crystals special is their complex internal lattice structure. Unlike ordinary crystals, dislocation crystals contain a large number of irregularities and defects in their lattice."

"However, these dislocations are not disordered, but arranged in a highly symmetrical and complex pattern, somewhat similar to a fractal structure, with similar patterns visible no matter what scale you look at."

"And this similar fractal structure gives dislocation crystals extremely high quantum entanglement capabilities."

"At the microscopic level, each dislocation can be viewed as a quantum trap that can capture and manipulate quantum states. These quantum traps are connected by a special lattice, allowing the entire crystal to exhibit strong quantum coherence at the macroscopic level."

Fang Yan introduced the characteristics of dislocation crystals very quickly, and Li Muyun's expression was surprised at first, and then became very confused.

"boss."

Li Muyun scratched his head embarrassedly. "Although I have studied some high-energy physics, what you just said is beyond my ability. I don't understand it at all."

Fang Yan was stunned and realized that he had said too much.

The weird things in his head were far beyond the pan-galactic knowledge system. Not to mention Li Muyun couldn't understand it, there were probably few people in the entire galaxy who could understand it.

Nodding, Fang Yan said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I just want to tell you the importance of quantum dislocation crystals. You should also visit Geneva, Switzerland often."

"After all, we use the European particle collider in Switzerland to make quantum dislocation crystals."

"Of course, even if someone knows that the synthetic materials of dislocation crystals are several rare metals mainly composed of antimony, it doesn't matter. As long as the core data is not leaked, no one can crack our secret."

"The reason I want you to pay attention is that there is only one particle collider on Earth. If it were to be destroyed, it would delay our production progress and cause unnecessary trouble."

Li Muyun seemed to understand and agreed to do as Fang Yan asked.

Fang Yan is not worried about data leakage at all, because the matrix encryption has long been tested in practice. There is currently no way to crack it in the Milky Way, and he believes there will be no way to crack it in the future.

"What happens after completing all the test projects?" Li Muyun asked again.

Fang Yan said, "After the experiment is completed, we will concentrate all our resources to build an industrialized production base. The larger the scale, the better."
