The next day.
"...The plan to connect with the Otherworld is called the 'Time Window Plan.' For confidentiality, we usually refer to it as the 'Special Plan Project.'
The project aims to locate a world where time flows faster than ours, or where the technological civilization level is higher than ours, and then find a way for the two worlds to exchange information, thus providing us with a time window for a technological revolution explosion."
"Of course, there are many issues involved."
"Question 1: Does such a world exist?"
"Question 2: If it exists, can we locate this world?"
"Question 3: If it can be located, can information exchange or even material transfer be achieved?"
"At the initial inception of the project, no one could ensure these issues could be resolved; we couldn't even be sure there were solutions in the end. However, considering that internationally, especially in developed countries like Europe and America, almost everyone has invested substantial resources in this field, to achieve the great rejuvenation of the nation, we absolutely cannot fall behind."
"The project was initiated in secret in 2030, with an expected timeline of one hundred to three hundred years to explore the possibilities within."
"In fact, the solution to Question 1 came in 2037. At the Arctic Yellow River Station and the Antarctic Kunlun Station, using a gravitational potential well quantum capture device, we captured over 19 billion microquarks. All these microquarks came from outside the Solar System, passing through the ozonosphere in areas where the geomagnetic field is weaker, thus possibly carrying information from parallel universes."
"The capture and filtering of microquarks continued for a full 40 years, ultimately resulting in 5 microquarks confirmed to exist in an entangled state. Since the entropy value of microquarks is extremely low and cannot be entangled with any quantum in this universe, they could only come from the entanglement effect of parallel universes, and are very likely produced by intelligent species' civilizations."
"Solution to Question 2: Through microscopic information observation and calculations, we finally located the target civilizations in 5 parallel universes. Among them, 2 civilizations, due to their technological level being weaker than ours, were abandoned; 1 civilization, although likely more advanced than ours, follows a technology path very divergent from ours, making the possibility for technological exchange extremely slim, hence it was sealed off."
"For the remaining two civilizations, we established a purely mathematical formula for 'Macro Unfolding and Reproduction of High Dimensions from Micro Particles,' and conducted long computations using supercomputing resources to extract almost vast amounts of macroscopic information about the target worlds. This included the volume, mass, atmospheric parameters, and surface distribution composition of the opposing planets, as well as surface cities, building materials and styles, intelligent species forms, and so on..."
"We found that one of these worlds bears a high resemblance to Earth in surface composition, intelligent species, civilization form... and has a time flow ratio of 1:360. Thus, after comprehensive investigation and evaluation, the priority of the plan for this world was immediately raised to the highest level."
"Based on this macroscopic information, the virtual network game 'Song of Iron and Fire' was developed in 2077. Through entanglement effects and replication transmission effects, all the quantum that carried the server's information were integrated into the corresponding entangled states."
"Next came the game's server launch, where massive civilian consciousness uploads and access performed ultra-high-frequency observations of the server's entangled quantum. This is the solution to Question 3, which contains no technological content but relies solely on the purest probabilities."
"Einstein once said, 'God does not play dice.' Later quantum mechanics proved that God not only plays dice, but there is also the possibility of rolling incorrectly. What we are betting on is that infinitely small possibility of an incorrect roll."
"Finally, we succeeded!"
After the project's leader passionately finished his speech, the entire conference room erupted into intense cheering.
Aske sat in the guest seat, listening through the whole report with boredom.
To be honest, he didn't understand much about quantum mechanics, but he did grasp a few key pieces of information from this summary meeting:
First, the project is of immense importance and spans a long timeline—it was initiated 47 years ago, a time when he hadn't even been born yet.
Second, the final step of the project relied on luck, and he himself was the one whom God's dice struck, becoming the first lucky transmigrator.
Which led to him being tightly protected immediately after returning to Earth.
In fact, from the second day after he crossed worlds, when his mother reported the incident to the police, he was already under surveillance by this special project.
Even the project leader on stage revealed that the original plan was to wait until Aske naturally died in the other world, and then use some method to acquire the quantum of his death from the Otherworld to locate that universe.
Although the lifespan of a Demigod is long, when divided by the time ratio, it seems barely manageable to wait. But while you enjoy freedom and leisure in that world, a pile of people in this world eagerly waits for you to die. Thinking of it that way feels quite strange—perhaps for another transmigrator without attachments, this would be the route.
Fortunately, he finally found a way to return, intact, which thrilled everyone.
The next step was to extract substances from him, like blood, hair, and so forth.
Aske's body is a fusion of Earth's physical body and the Otherworld's physical body. According to the researchers, all the quantum constituting his body has completed entanglement and collapse with all the quantum constituting the Otherworld's body.
If the first two steps of the entire project only obtained the entangled state of the quantum in this world, then the body Aske brought back from crossing worlds actually contained genuine quantum from the Otherworld.
Through a series of complex scientific detections, these Otherworld quantums can enable quicker and more direct location of the Otherworld. Then, through a series of intricate engineering constructions, they can attempt to teleport people over.
Well, although I don't understand it, Aske thought it seemed pretty complex.
In any case, from the second day he returned, he was constantly having blood drawn, hair pulled, nails clipped, oral epithelial cells scraped... all sorts of bodily tissue extractions.
And his chromosomes had already shocked the researchers, reportedly complicated to a degree where "the genetic segments couldn't be parsed at all," "the base pairs could only be purely encoded but couldn't be characterized at all."
"By the way, this guy shouldn't count as a human, right?" some researchers even secretly commented.
Aske expressed quite a headache over these misunderstandings by the researchers.
But these Otherworld materials are the key for researchers to find the way back, so he could only obediently meet their sampling requests.
On the other hand, his mother was also brought to live at the base. This section was managed by Mao Zhongwei, reportedly mainly for security considerations, with concerns that foreign forces might have nefarious intentions in this regard.
Of course, the 'Proton' component within is justified. However, Aske didn't mind, as alongside the rapid enhancement of security conditions, both he and his mother's treatment received equal supernormal upgrades—aside from movement restrictions, whatever they wanted to eat or play, they just needed to request it with the accompanying personnel, and it would be delivered immediately.
So he took this opportunity to experience many things he had previously wanted to try:
For instance, national banquet dishes indeed weren't very tasty, although the meat was meticulously deboned, the flavor was too bland and mostly overcooked till soft, yet the broth was fairly savory.
Also, various supercars, as long as he could name them, would be delivered with a new car within half an hour, allowing him to have a thrill in the underground base's training ground.
Aske even suspected, if he mentioned having any physiological needs, they might really find an ever-obedient girl to send over...
Of course, that would turn into a situation akin to Luo Ji in 'Three Body II,' backfiring and leaving a handle for others to coerce. Aske, being a person of integrity, absolutely wouldn't make such a request.
The reason is solely this; it has nothing to do with those girls from the Otherworld.
Just like this, around three days passed, and finally, the project made new progress:
The quantum transmission device was debugged.
