Chapter 1461: Breaking through the bottleneck
This phone was still an old model from more than a decade ago. It wasn’t even considered a smartphone. The only thing that was advanced was the battery inside.
Huo Shaoheng held it in his hand and began to examine the program and contents stored inside.
Song Jinning went to her own lab to continue answering the various sets of questions and equations that Gu Xiangwen had left behind.
The process of opening the music box was a pure test of IQ. There were no shortcuts.
When one was fully immersed in work, time flew by.
It was midnight in the blink of an eye. Huo Shaoheng snapped out of his thoughts from the app on his phone and sighed helplessly.
No, he did not find any clues.
Bai Yueran had recorded Bai Jinyi’s private conversation, but there was still no evidence to support it.
And a confession that couldn’t be supported by evidence could only be considered a clue.
Although Huo Shaoheng wanted to believe her, he couldn’t find any circ.u.mstantial evidence, so he remained cautious and waited.
He sat on the sofa in song Jinning’s office, one hand resting on the back of the sofa and the other propping up his head. He was lost in thought as he looked out the window at the night sky.
It was as if he was thinking about a million things, but also as if he wasn’t thinking about anything at all.
He sat there for a while. Unable to resist the sleepiness, he took a nap on the sofa.
When he woke up, he realized that the sky outside had already turned white.
He looked at his watch. It was already 5:50 in the morning. No wonder it was almost dawn.
The sofa was a little small. He had been cooped up on it all night, and his legs were numb. He simply stood up and was about to go out for a walk when he suddenly heard his phone ring.
He took it out to take a look and realized it was song Jinning’s phone.
“Ms. Song?”
Song Jinning’s voice was unexpectedly excited. “Shaoheng, I’ve unlocked the Music Box’s pa.s.sword! I saw Gu Xiangwen’s most important research results!”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart skipped a beat. “Where are you?”
“I’m in the lab. Do you want to take a look?”
Huo Shaoheng left song Jinning’s office quickly. After going through the heavily guarded security checks, he finally arrived at the door of her lab and rang the doorbell.
Song Jinning pressed a b.u.t.ton.
The lab was soundproof and shockproof. The doors that could even withstand missiles opened quietly on both sides.
Huo Shaoheng quickly glanced at the post-modern renovation of the lab, as well as the various experimental platforms.
On the wall opposite the laboratory, there was a huge oil painting with a long-shaped instrument on it. It looked like a crystal chandelier that was as tall as a three-story building, this was the prototype of the quantum computer that the Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics had been commissioned by the military to build.
This kind of instrument had too high a requirement for the environment and energy. It could only be stored in the special underground laboratory of this experimental building until now.
Upstairs, it was just an oil painting, and it was already shocking enough.
Song Jinning was wearing a white lab coat. She stood in front of an experimental platform and waved at him. “Close the door and come quickly. I’ll show you this thing.”
She was holding the black music box in her hand, and her face was red with excitement.
Huo Shaoheng walked over. “What exactly is it?”
Song Jinning held up a flash drive. “See it? It’s all in Here!”
She inserted the flash drive into her computer and entered the pa.s.sword she had cracked. She found a set of blueprints stored in the flash drive!
Song Jinning opened the blueprints.
“What is this?”Huo Shaoheng asked calmly. “From the looks of it, it looks like a quantum communicator.”
“Gu Xiangwen’s most important research achievement is this quantum communicator,”song Jinning said seriously, “He explained at the end of the blueprint that he had been inspired by someone very early on and had the idea to build a quantum communicator. However, after many years, there has been a technical bottleneck that has not been broken through, so the quantum communicator that he built was only a half-finished product and could not communicate.”
“It wasn’t until he was trapped at the bottom of the sea due to a submarine accident that he suddenly thought of the crux of the problem. However, he no longer had the time to complete his research and development. He could only leave behind this set of completed blueprints.”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart skipped a beat.”… So, the quantum communicator that we found was not actually broken, but had not been successfully developed yet?”
“Yes, it’s only a half-finished product, so it can’t be used. I thought it was broken. It really is something we haven’t touched before, so we can’t comment on it…”song jinning sighed, “This design is amazing. It’s really enlightening.”
“For example, using that quantum communicator, not only can you disguise a normal number as an invalid number, using quantum theory to make real-time calls between two phones, but it can also achieve multi-dimensional, all-directional, and all-time communication.”. — this is the most peculiar part of the quantum communicator.”
Huo Shaoheng seemed to have understood something.
“If quantum theory can really be used in the macro world, it will revolutionize our world.”Song Jinning felt even more regretful, “It’s such a pity that such a brilliant scientist died so early. If he were still alive, his contribution to the entire human race would be incalculable.”
However, such a powerful person was unable to save the life of his beloved daughter.
Huo Shaoheng sighed silently in his heart.
Looking at the design blueprint and thinking about the unfinished quantum communicator that was still on Gu Nianzhi’s side, huo shaoheng said, “I’ll give you that quantum communicator. Can you complete its invention?”
“I’m afraid I can’t help you with that.”Song Jinning pulled out the flash drive regretfully and put it back into the music box. Then, she closed the music box according to the original program.
She continued, “I can’t help much because this isn’t my main research area. It’s not even a field that I’m familiar with.”
There were really too few scientists who were almost all-rounded like Gu Xiangwen.
With song Jinning’s high IQ, she could only be outstanding in certain areas. She couldn’t be like Gu Xiangwen, who could cross the three major fields of physics, medicine, and biology with ease.
However, this design blueprint was not completely useless to song jinning.
This design blueprint was about how to use quantum theory to make related instruments. In this aspect, they could learn everything.
Therefore, this design blueprint also had a great inspiration for song Jinning’s research in her main direction.
She was a big shot in studying high-energy magnetic fields. Seventeen years ago, the military and their inst.i.tute of high energy physics experiments were related to super-strong magnetic fields.
“Our experiments have recently reached a bottleneck, and there has been no progress. But this design blueprint has given me a new direction. I think our experimental equipment can be changed a little.”
“And most importantly, the magnetic field data I have obtained recently has allowed my understanding of high-energy magnetic fields to rise to a new level. “In his design blueprint, the method for the quantum communicator to obtain energy from the electric field is very innovative and very effective.”
“The last time in the Sea of j.a.pan, Nianzhi helped me transform from a super strong magnetic field to an electric field. She showed me how powerful a super strong magnetic field can be when it is used to transform energy.”
“Also, the high-energy magnetic field data that Gu Xiangwen left for your uncle in the beginning, and the abnormal magnetic field fluctuations near the sinkhole in Tunguska, Russia, in the first half of the year, all made me think of how to obtain the high-energy magnetic field needed for the experiment!”
Song Jinning’s eyes lit up. “I think our experiment is just around the corner!”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
He realized that he did not care at all about whether the military and Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics experiments would succeed. All he wanted now was to find Gu Nianzhi. He just wanted to see her by his side so that his heart could truly calm down.
Huo Shaoheng had never interfered with song Jinning’s work or life, and he would never interfere with her research.
But this time, he made an exception, “Mrs. Song, can you put aside your experiment for now and help us find Nianzhi’s whereabouts?”
Song Jinning stopped her excited thoughts and looked at Huo Shaoheng, her heart stinging.
This was her son, a son who was unmoved by anything. The first time he had asked her, he wanted her to help him find the girl he loved.
She was really not a good mother.
Song Jinning patted his shoulder. “Okay, I’ll help you.”Then she asked, “What Can I help you with?”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
Huo Shaoheng’s greatest hope was, of course, that song Jinning could complete the design and manufacture of the quantum communicator so that the quantum communicator could be put to use.
However, song Jinning had already made it clear that she could not do it.
Huo Shaoheng did not insist. He thought about it for a moment, he said, “I haven’t thought about it yet, but when Nianzhi went missing, we found some relevant surveillance videos. Can you help us do a technical a.n.a.lysis of those surveillance videos? Of course, it’s a higher level of technical a.n.a.lysis.”
The special operations forces could do a general technical a.n.a.lysis on their own.
But to achieve a higher level of technical a.n.a.lysis, they needed the experts from the Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics.
“No problem,”song jinning quickly agreed. “Send the surveillance video over, and I’ll help you do the technical a.n.a.lysis.”
