The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Diana adjusted her glasses and answered Lin Feng truthfully.

"There has been progress, but as you know, this research is extremely difficult. The research equipment we used in the past was not precise enough. We are conducting this research while simultaneously improving the precision of our equipment."

"This has led other researchers to try to come over here and get a few blueprints of our research equipment whenever they have free time."

Speaking of this, Diana smiled wryly and shrugged at Lin Feng, indicating her helplessness.

Lin Feng nodded. "It's good that there's progress. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Being impatient for quick success is the easiest way to fail. Take me to see what you've accomplished over the years."

"Ok."

Diana nodded slightly and walked ahead to lead the way for Lin Feng.

The two strolled through a transparent tunnel, outside which lay mountains, lakes, forests, animals, and an endless, lush plain.

This planet is not only a research planet within the complex, but also an ecological planet.

However, unlike Earth's sky, the sky of this ecological planet is purple, and a huge, bluish gas giant can be seen directly from the sky.

It gives people a dreamlike feeling of being in a fairy tale.

Just as Lin Feng's gaze fell upon the purple sky, he heard Diana's question.

"Do you remember Planck's concept of microscopic analysis?"

Lin Feng said, "Of course I remember. Planck microscaling is to imitate the atomization method back then, using photons as the medium of matter, so that everyone in the unified entity can enter the Planck scale."

"Photons have no volume. As long as we transform photons into a carrier that our thoughts can enter, we can enter the Planck scale. As long as we can utilize the wormholes that exist at the Planck scale at every moment, it will be very difficult for everyone in the unified entity to be killed."

As Diana recalled, she explained, "Initially, the biggest problem in the entire research was that photons had no volume. At least protons can be expanded into two dimensions and have a triquark structure inside, but photons are very troublesome. They have no internal structure and cannot be expanded. They don't even have an area; they only have wavelength and frequency."

"How do you modify something that only has wavelength and frequency but no internal structure using computers? That was the problem we encountered at the time."

"However, we soon found a research direction, which is to create photonic computers by assembling particles."

Lin Feng was taken aback, "Particle assembly?"

He understood each word individually, but when they were put together, he didn't understand them.

Seeing Lin Feng's puzzled expression, Diana smiled and asked, "When a positive particle and a negative particle meet, they can produce a photon. So what if this pair of positive and negative particles were a modified computer? Would it be possible to bypass the understanding of the structure of the photon itself and complete the development of a photonic computer?"

Lin Feng suddenly realized that the so-called particle assembly was to first modify other particles that could be modified, and then find a way to convert these particles into photons.

In simple terms, converting into photons involves contact with antimatter, where both matter and antimatter consume all their mass and are released as light particles.

But after thinking about it again, he felt there was something wrong with it.

Lin Feng said, "No, a pair of positive and negative particles will produce a pair of photons when they meet. However, there is no force between these photons that attracts each other. In other words, a photonic computer made in this way would be torn in two."

Diana replied, "We considered this a long time ago, so we adopted a decentralized computer layout, so that even if it is torn into a pair of photons, we will still get two photon computers."

Diana's concept of 'decentralization' refers to the absence of a central authority, or the ability to spontaneously combine into a central authority. Simply put, it means that even if you smash a computer to pieces, the fragments such as the motherboard, hard drive, and CPU can still be used as computers and still perform the functions of a computer.

Lin Feng nodded, and Diana continued, "Of course, the capabilities of this photonic computer were very limited. At that time, our focus was on building the photonic computer first, and we could optimize the functionalities later..."

Unfortunately, we later discovered that we had been thinking the wrong way.

Diana's words made Lin Feng frown, and he asked.

"What's wrong?"

Diana explained, "The annihilation reaction after a pair of electrons meets produces a pair of photons from the Dirac Sea, but it is very different from the combination and conversion we imagine."

"Different? How are they different?" Lin Feng looked at Diana, who was walking in front of him, with a puzzled expression.

Diana habitually pushed up her glasses and answered Lin Feng, "Let's use molecules as a more intuitive analogy. Hydrogen and oxygen burn to produce water (H2O). The hydrogen and oxygen atoms are still there, but their molecular structure changes from H2 and O2 to H2O. If we transform hydrogen and oxygen atoms into simple computers, into water molecules, normally the hydrogen and oxygen atom computers should still be there, right?"

"Correct."

Lin Feng nodded.

Diana continued, "But annihilation is not like that. To put it simply, the transformation of annihilation is that at this time and in this location, a pair of positive and negative particles meet and sink into the Dirac Sea in an instant, while a pair of photons rise from the Dirac Sea in an instant."

"This is where we went wrong at the beginning, and this result means that the idea of ​​creating a photonic computer by assembling particles is completely bankrupt and simply impossible to achieve."

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then asked with some concern, "Do you have any new ideas now?"

“You’re going too far by belittling us like that. In two hundred years, how could we not have any other new ideas?” Diana said.

These researchers who stayed on the planet spent two hundred years and a lot of experimental resources. If they couldn't even figure out a research direction, where would they put their faces?

Lin Feng gestured, "Tell me about it."

Chapter 362 Time-Space Tear

As Diana walked, she explained to Lin Feng, "Later, we thought of starting directly from frequency and wavelength. The wavelength, frequency and speed of photons are directly related, and speed is expressed through relativity. This allows us to build computing units, using quantum entanglement as an infinitely connected information channel, and combining complex photons into a computer."

Lin Feng understood this research approach: since a single photon cannot be modified, then simply don't modify it, and use photons to create a 'person'.

Leaving aside whether this approach is feasible, Lin Feng is unsure whether the product developed using this approach would meet his expectations, should it be successful.

He hopes to enable everyone to reach the Planck scale and utilize wormholes at the Planck scale.

If wormholes at the Planck scale cannot be utilized, then what is the significance of Planck miniaturization?

It's pointless; we might as well turn our attention to researching high-energy wormhole generation technology.

"Can this... allow one to traverse wormholes at will on the Planck scale?" Lin Feng asked hesitantly.

Diana gave a clear answer: "Of course, because this is a person made purely of photons. Although it is not a single photon that is equivalent to a person, but a person formed by a combination of photons, these photons are only connected by quantum entanglement. There will be no delay when they are sent from one end of the universe to the other. It is perfectly fine to disperse the photons and break them down into smaller parts to pass through a wormhole on the Planck scale."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment. According to Diana's description, these photon beings could indeed utilize wormholes at the Planck scale. Although they did not achieve photonification by modifying the photons themselves, which was somewhat of a drawback, the use of wormholes was feasible.

Thinking of the results Diana and Lin Feng had just discussed, Lin Feng smiled and asked, "Is this the result you were telling me about? How far along is the research?"

"Results?" Diana was taken aback, then shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, no, that was just an idea, not a result. The results are right here."

The two walked out of the transparent passageway. Diana pointed to a wall to the side, and the wall became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Feng saw a machine as big as a rocket base.

However, Lin Feng didn't quite understand the purpose of this machine, and he also felt a sense of alienation from the times. Now that all of humanity has become atomized, many things about humanity have also become microscopic. Therefore, the things built by atomized humans are either enormous, like the building Lin Feng is in, which is dozens of times larger than the pyramids, or they are very microscopic.

Few people would build something the size of a rocket base.

"what is this?"

Lin Feng asked Diana, who stared intently at the machine on the wall as she answered his question.

"To create a machine that can manipulate light and add quantum entanglement, it is essential to slow down light. The black field is created by using a large number of miniature light speed curvature engines to generate a black field with extremely low light speed, and then entanglement is applied."

"How many times have you conducted this experiment?" Lin Feng asked.

Diana shook her head. "This thing hasn't been built yet, so what I just said was just a concept."

Well, all that excitement for nothing...

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay. At least we have a clear direction, so there's no problem. The most terrifying thing is not being able to find a research direction to explore."

At least we have a direction: the unified entity can unlock Planck wormholes, a technology that can save lives in the universe.

The essence of Planck's wormhole is entropy increase, and Lin Feng can be 100% certain that no civilization in the universe can eliminate cosmic entropy. At most, they can only transfer it from one place to another, and this behavior will inevitably lead to a dramatic increase in cosmic entropy, because that is the law of entropy increase.

If a civilization could solve the problem of entropy, the Zero-Returners in the original work wouldn't need to risk restarting the universe; they could simply reverse entropy and return the universe to a ten-dimensional idyllic era.

Lin Feng's reason for believing that Planck wormholes were a means of survival was not that it was impossible for any civilization in the universe to seal off the void and eliminate Planck wormholes in a certain area, but rather that it was impossible for any civilization to choose to close Planck wormholes over a large area for no reason.

As long as the hiding Photon People adhere to the strategy of non-existence and can escape first when encountering danger, no matter how advanced the opponent's technology is, they cannot hold back the Photon People. Therefore, it is a life-saving technology.

Just as Lin Feng was pondering, Edith sent him a message.

Lin Feng connected the call, "Edith, what's up?"

"Feng, there have been new changes in the material structure of the Milky Way," Edith reported solemnly to Lin Feng.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Judging from her tone, Lin Feng knew something was wrong, so he quickly agreed and accepted the message from Edith.

The information was quickly presented to Lin Feng, and Diana was also watching it from the side.

The image shows a panoramic view of the Milky Way, with the enormous galactic disk rotating endlessly. On one of the spiral arms is a dark patch, which is the unknown force spreading at 2.2 times the speed of light. A long time has passed since its last discovery, and it is now quite conspicuous on the scale of the Milky Way.

Then a blinding light appeared, and one of the Milky Way's spiral arms suddenly 'thinned', and the dark lump attached to the Milky Way inexplicably disappeared.

Lin Feng glanced at it several times but still couldn't understand what was going on. When he noticed that Diana beside him had a blank expression and her eyes were full of astonishment and shock, Lin Feng knew that she understood and asked her.

"Can you understand what's going on here?"

“This…this seems to be a time-space tear…” Diana replied uncertainly.

"A tear in spacetime?" Lin Feng frowned, carefully considering Diana's words. He then looked at Diana in shock and asked, "Spacetime can be torn apart?"

What is the concept of spacetime tearing?

Lin Feng knew about the quantum sea, black holes, wormholes, and even closed spacetime, but tearing a whole piece of spacetime apart was truly inconceivable. In his understanding, spacetime could be punched through, but how could it be torn apart?

Instead of answering directly, Diana made a request to Lin Feng, "I need to roughly confirm the energy values ​​of those flashes just now."

Lin Feng did not stop her. He contacted the observation station, and soon Diana was informed of the approximate energy value.

Diana's expression was solemn as she answered Lin Feng with certainty, "There's no mistake, it's a spacetime tear. This level of energy release far exceeds the enormous energy released during a supergiant nova. Spacetime has been torn apart."

Despite feeling that his worldview had been severely shaken, the facts were undeniable, leaving Lin Feng no choice but to believe it. He asked Diana.

"Where did that piece of time and space that was torn off go?"

Diana pushed up her glasses with a wry smile. "You're putting me in a difficult position. It's like trying to explain the physical laws inside a black hole. How could I possibly know where that torn piece of spacetime went?"

"However, we can now be fairly certain of what those giant rings, the size of stars, set up throughout the Milky Way are."

Diana paused for a moment, then continued, "Just like the mass they exhibit, those are black holes, ring-shaped black holes."

Chapter 363 Penrose Sphere

Black holes can explode on the spot. With proper structural deployment, a super-scale cosmic explosion with an energy level exceeding that of a stellar supernova can be created.

The principle is not complicated. It involves finding a material that reflects energy 100% and encasing a black hole. That completes the bomb. No further action is needed. When the energy stored inside exceeds the material's limit, a terrifying energy burst will tear spacetime apart.

This sphere that encloses a black hole has another name: the Penrose sphere.

"You mean, the dominant civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy used a mechanism similar to the Penrose sphere to cut through spacetime?"

At a core member meeting of the Taylor Group, Lin Feng brought up the issue of the spacetime tear to discuss.

Diana explained to everyone that the method she had guessed for the galactic overlord civilization to tear spacetime was to continuously increase the energy level of the Penrose sphere, thereby causing spacetime to tear.
