A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 106: Obtaining the Ace Was Too Easy

As per Lu Shang's requirements, all matter in the aquaculture area was dismembered into atomic dust clouds.

Kasha asked, "Based on previous large-scale purges, how many farming areas would have any survivors left behind?"

This large-scale cleanup of the aquaculture area not only involved dissecting materials into atoms, but also included a general survey and statistical work.

The manager of the breeding area who completed the statistics replied: "There were about 16621. Some hid in places where atomic organisms like stars could not monitor them. Some stored their memories and personalities in dead objects to deceive the bee colony's inspection. Now all of these are gone. They have all become dust clouds composed of single atoms."

When the managers of the breeding area asked whether they should begin reconstructing the breeding area, Kasha replied, "Don't rush to reconstruct the breeding area. Just in case, let's dismantle the nuclei of these atoms in the breeding area."

Although the possibility is very low—a single level 14 psionic brain is not enough to break down the quark pair, and Lu Shang only managed to dismantle all the breeding areas of the No. 3 Galaxy Breeding Farm to the atomic level—Kasha was still worried. After all, there had already been a containment failure once, and she didn't want to repeat such a dereliction of duty.

"OK."

The managers of the aquaculture area responded together.

As the managers of the breeding area were busy directing the planetary creatures to further break down the atomic matter in the breeding area, a question arose in the mind of one of the managers.

I asked as soon as I thought of it; that's just how straightforward bee swarms are, they don't put on airs with each other.

"I have a question I'd like to ask."

The mastermind, Kasha, said, "You speak."

The breeding area manager said, "Although a single level 14 psionic energy is not enough to disassemble the atomic nucleus and process and modify quarks, as the level of psionic energy increases in the future, there will inevitably be psionic beings that can complete the modification and processing of quarks with just a psionic brain."

"What should we do with the bee colony then?"

As the level of psionic energy increases, the breeding areas of the future river system farms will inevitably need to raise a large number of psionic creatures that can break apart quark pairs using only the psionic energy of a single brain.

By then, will the river system farms still be able to successfully raise these psionic creatures and ensure they don't escape?

Kasha also noticed this problem after being questioned by the farm manager.

"This is indeed a troublesome problem that needs to be solved."

Kasha, who hadn't come up with a solution, replied to the beekeeping area manager who asked, "But don't worry, this isn't the most pressing issue right now. I'll broadcast the problem on the hive network later, and with the collective strength of the bees, they'll surely be able to figure out a solution."

"The wisdom of the collective is boundless."

……

Not long after resolving the issue of the out-of-control containment of the No. 3 River System aquaculture farm, Lu Shang had a simple meal as usual.

The loss of control at Test Site No. 3 and the harsh words uttered by the Holy Court prince had no effect on Lu Shang. Even if the other party was dismembered into atomic clouds, he could still eat with a clear conscience.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared, and apart from finding the other person noisy, Lu Shang didn't feel anything.

After finishing his meal, Lu Shang connected to a test site via the psionic network.

This testing ground is very special. The space has been specially cleaned up with psionic energy by planetary beings, and the matter is extremely thin, even more so than the open areas between galaxies.

There are only a large number of microscopic wormholes here.

Microscopic wormholes are very difficult to see on a macroscopic scale. These wormholes are smaller than microorganisms. If we can see these wormholes with the naked eye, then seeing cells and microorganisms directly would be no problem at all.

However, if the quantity reaches a certain scale, it is not difficult to see, such as colonies composed of bacteria.

The miniature wormholes in this experimental field are so large that they can be seen with the naked eye.

Similarly, in order to maintain these microscopic wormholes, the number of planetary creatures is extremely large, almost enough to occupy an entire galaxy.

This testing ground was the very one that a certain individual bee colony had previously proposed to Lu Shang, to study the use of psionic energy to prevent matter from decaying in regions where physical rules had changed.

At the other end of each microscopic wormhole lies a spacetime where the laws of physics have been altered.

Lu Shang's special trip here this time was not out of boredom, but for another purpose.

"How's the research progressing?"

Lu Shang inquired about the manager of this test site, who turned out to be the same breeding area manager he had previously sent to contact the mastermind, Rabi.

The manager is still a manager, except that he has now been transferred from the river system aquaculture farm to the experimental farm to work collectively for the bee colony.

The test site manager said, "We are currently dealing with the problem of inter-particle spacetime perturbations."

"I have a question here, and I need your help to conduct an experiment," Lu Shang said.

"Okay, please explain the test content." The test site manager agreed without any hesitation.

The experiments mentioned by Lu Shang must be very important, such as the previous planetary biological design and the time acceleration research on spacetime structure.

Lu Shang did not rush to explain the contents of the experiment, but instead asked the test site manager.

"If I remember correctly, you told me last time that you could guarantee that a single particle could exist for a long time in a region where the laws of physics have changed?"

"It can be done," the test site manager replied.

Lu Shang asked, "Can you place a neutron in a region where the laws of physics are altered, and then break down quark pairs?"

"It can be done. When will this experiment begin?" the test site manager asked.

Lu Shang said, "Now, I want to know the result as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's begin the experiment."

After the test site manager came down, he began to direct and mobilize the planetary creatures to take action.

The experiment is not complicated, so only two planetary beings are needed to participate. One planetary being uses psionic energy to capture a neutron, and then the other planetary being uses psionic energy to envelop and distort the spacetime around the neutron before finally sending it into a microcosm where the physical rules have been altered.

As required by Lu Shang, the planetary beings participating in the experiment used psionic energy to break quark pairs into individual quarks.

Undoubtedly, quark confinement played a role. The strong interaction force "dug" out paired quark particles from the quantum sea the instant the quark pair was broken up, forming new quark pairs.

As the entropy of the land increases the number of quark pairs to be broken down, a large amount of matter begins to appear in the microcosm where the physical rules have been altered.

To ensure that these substances would not decay due to the different physical rules, the test site administrators recruited more planetary life forms to join the experiment.

This continued for about a day, after which Lu Shang inquired with the test site administrator.

"Check if your inner universe has shrunk?"

"OK."

The test site administrator agreed and then directed the planetary creatures to move one of the pair of wormholes in the microcosm, causing the wormhole to move in one direction.

The other serves as the origin coordinate. When the moving wormhole returns to the origin due to the closed spacetime, the internal space size of the microcosm can be basically measured.

"After confirmation, the microcosm has shrunk," the test site manager reported.

Lu Shang then asked, "Is this consistent with the rate of reduction observed previously under normal spacetime conditions?"

This doesn't require testing; it can be calculated based on previous measurement data.

"They are consistent."

Lu Shang nodded in understanding. He was in a great mood because the Babel bee swarm had just gained a trump card.
