Chapter 253 Entanglement
“Assuming you are the recipient of the information and I am the sender,” Su Ming continued in the conference room. “Now you distribute the photon.” He took the B-candy from in front of Sang Zi and put it in his own hand. “The channel is now complete. You will use the remaining photon A to conduct counterfactual communication.”

Sangzi's pupils contracted slightly.

“I transmitted half of the entangled pair of photons to you,” she murmured. “It is indeed counterfactual communication—as the recipient of the information, I still haven’t received any particles from you.”

Su Ming opened his palm, and the milk candy B in his palm, along with the candy wrapper, crumbled into fragments.

Inside the train carriage of the otherworld, in Su Ming's palm, an identical milk candy was assembled from materials.

"Where is this Photon B now?" Su Ming's voice sounded somewhat ethereal in the small conference room.

His ability is essentially an order projection; the entropy information of "entanglement" might not be impossible to transfer to another world. This means that another photon from another world could very well replace photon B on Earth and form a quantum entangled pair with photon A!

Sangzi suddenly slammed her hand on the table with such force that it startled the monitoring staff in the backstage, who thought something had happened.

Su Ming vaguely heard a cracking sound and suspected that her hand had broken. Sang Zi stood up, supporting her injured right hand with her left, but indicated that she was fine.

"Please," she took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly, "continue!"

“That’s all. That’s all Si Ran told me.” Su Ming shook his head and said, “Her original design was to improve the adaptability and efficiency of counterfactual communication through this method.” His eyes dimmed. “But this idea was rejected. She was very upset that day, so she contacted me after a long time and complained to me.”

Sang Zi immediately turned to Jin Rongjia, "Who is this Si Ran? Why don't I know her?"

“Si Ran is just a member of a general research unit,” Jin Rongjia replied quickly. “This is an exploratory branch of her group, and it was rejected before it even entered the project approval process.”

Every year, countless research project applications are submitted, but only a small fraction are approved. Not to mention those applications that are never even submitted and are considered mere ideas or concepts.

Sang Zi immediately dialed a number with her left hand, her voice as cold as ice: "Investigate all of Siran's group's data, everything! Including research notes, experimental records, and personal logs; whether paper or electronic, not a single punctuation mark can be omitted!"

“Si Ran died a month ago, and judging from the current signs, it’s not normal,” Jin Rongjia said to Su Ming. “We are investigating.”

Su Ming suddenly turned to Jin Rongjia, his face full of shock, "What happened to Si Ran's death?"

When Su Ming asked Miao Xin to search for Si Ran's soul, he also took the opportunity to find out the cause of her death, which was cardiac arrest caused by viral myocarditis.

Su Ming knew that Si Ran had an arrhythmia. Although he was very sorry, he was helpless in the face of the unpredictability of life and death.

But he never imagined that there would be a problem with Si Ran's death!

“Actually, I was just about to tell you about this today,” Jin Rongjia said. “The Gao Boyang you met at the cemetery is Si Ran’s colleague.”

Various clues connected in Su Ming's mind, and Su Ming suddenly clenched his fist.

"These people killed Si Ran first, and then they killed him!"

If Miao Xin hadn't been there, that 'Calamity Mark' would have already killed Gao Boyang. "Si Ran didn't die of natural causes!"

Jin Rongjia nodded, “We don’t have any direct evidence at the moment. But since this group of people can use calamity marks to cause car accidents and plane crashes, it’s not a conclusion that needs to be crossed to suspect that they use some kind of supernatural means to cause heart attacks.”

Su Ming's knuckles turned white from the force he exerted.

"The results for Cesium-137?"

“Target 1, codenamed ‘Jackal War,’ which just came out, arrived on Earth five years ago,” Sang Zi replied.

When the call information was analyzed, the names of this group of people were already known. The one who was killed was Theodore, the one who released the "Cataclysmic Mark" was Alito, and there was also an accomplice, Esekna, who was driving.

The task force gave them the codename "Jackals," and they were referred to as Jackal Warrior, Jackal Curse, and Jackal Driver.

The one who was initially buried in the Vietnam industrial park by the space-based weapon was named Jackal.

"Five years?" This number far exceeded Su Ming's expectations. Does Jackal's hair grow that slowly?

But Sangzi didn't elaborate on the details. The jackal's hair wasn't long enough, so they racked their brains, skinned him, and painstakingly created a physiological sedimentation model. They then combined this with comparisons of timelines using various radioactive isotopes, and only after extremely complex calculations did they arrive at this conclusion.

"Based on a 95% confidence interval, the time fluctuation is plus or minus one year; with a 99.7% confidence level—" Sang Zi said, "Forget it, we can conclude with 100% certainty: Jackal Zhan is definitely not from Earth!"

Jin Rongjia waved his hand, signaling Sang Zi to leave the meeting room first.

“We’ve been invaded for five years and know nothing about it.” His tone was low, but there was no sign of frustration. “However, the good news is that the ‘Jackals’ only consists of these four people.”

Jin Rongjia briefly explained that five years after the jackals first arrived on Earth, they left behind numerous traces due to their unfamiliarity with the planet. Through big data screening and targeted tracking, these clues have surfaced.

But with their supernatural abilities, this group quickly established themselves, learning Earth's languages ​​at an astonishing pace. After that, the number of traceable clues they left behind dwindled.

"They didn't develop a cult or organization?" Su Xiang thought of the Calamity Bell of another world.

“No,” Jin Rongjia replied. “Our analysis shows that Earth is a ‘demon-poor’ zone, where supernatural energy is replenished slowly, so doing these things is not worthwhile.”

There were not many people, and no reinforcements had been sent in five years.

Su Ming grasped the key point: "This is indeed good news. At least it shows that they can't just come to Earth at will!"

“But they’ve been operating in a blind spot for so long.” Jin Rongjia said gravely. “We’re not sure how many accidents they’ve caused or what they’ve actually done.” He added seriously, “Fortunately, because of you, this group has been exposed.”

"How's the progress? Can it be resolved as soon as possible?"

Jin Rongjia shook his head. "In five years, they have learned too much about this society. After the fishing operation a few days ago, we did not find any new clues. All we found were traces they had left behind before."

"Is it possible that, like Miao Xin and I back then, it became moisturized?" Su Ming asked.

“We can’t rule out that possibility,” Jin Rongjia admitted. “But it doesn’t matter, the nature and level of the incident have completely changed now.”

1. Micius, the world's first space quantum science experimental satellite.

Delivered in January 2017.

In June, the first kilometer-scale two-way quantum entanglement distribution experiment between space and ground was successfully completed, and based on this, the quantum mechanical nonlocality test that strictly satisfies the "Einstein locality condition" at the spatial scale was completed.

In August, the first successful quantum key distribution over a thousand kilometers from satellite to ground and quantum teleportation from ground to satellite were achieved.

In September, the Beijing-Shanghai trunk line established a space-to-ground link with the "Micius" scientific experimental satellite, successfully achieving intercontinental quantum secure communication.

In January 2018, the first intercontinental quantum key distribution over a distance of 7600 kilometers was achieved between China and Austria.

In June 2020, entanglement-based quantum key distribution over a distance of 1000 kilometers was achieved for the first time.

In May 2022, the first-ever remote transmission of quantum states between two ground stations 1200 kilometers apart on Earth was achieved.

2. Quantum entanglement

Einstein: Ghostly Action at a Distance Between Particles.

Definition: The properties of particles, through their interactions, are integrated into the overall properties, which cannot be described individually but only in terms of the properties of the entire system.

In the simplest case: two particles are entangled, forming an inseparable system, and an operation on one will affect the other, no matter how far apart they are.

Quantum entanglement is considered a breakthrough for achieving ultra-long-distance instant communication (even across tens of millions of light-years).
