Chapter 296 State Vectors

The charge injected into the floating gate of a flash memory chip will slowly dissipate over time. However, under standard environmental conditions, the data retention period of modern flash memory chips can typically reach more than ten years.

“That’s true.” Sang Zi nodded. “Theoretically speaking, the higher your teleportation accuracy, the closer the reconstructed item will be to the original in terms of microstructure. Just as you and Xiao Cheng once discussed, the level of detail provided by 8K resolution naturally far surpasses that of HD. But—” She paused slightly, “do you know exactly how many times the information density involved in this teleportation has increased?”

Different levels of resolution inevitably contain different amounts of information. For example, an HD resolution image contains approximately 92 pixels, while an 8K ultra-high-definition resolution image contains as many as 3318 million pixels, a difference of about 36 times.

"The graph that Xiao Cheng showed me at the time indicated that the density of the spatial ripples was about 17 times that of before," Su Ming recalled.

“The average is 16.83 times.” Sang Zi adjusted her glasses and accurately reported the data. “But this is only the value measured by the instrument in one dimension. Converting it to three-dimensional space, the change in the total amount of information is—” She did some mental calculation and came to the result, “16.83 cubed, approximately 4700 times!”

Su Ming looked puzzled. "Is it really necessary to use such a huge amount of information just to describe the structure of an SD card?"

After all, this is not an image with infinite precision. Within a specific level of the material world, the total amount of information it contains is finite.

“If we are simply describing the static arrangement of atoms and molecules, there is indeed a serious information overflow.” Sang Zi’s eyes gleamed with insight. “Therefore, we infer that during this transmission, ‘quantum state vector’ information was transferred!”

As she spoke, Sang Zi turned her laptop screen toward Su Ming. The screen clearly displayed a detailed three-dimensional structural model of a floating-gate crystal unit.

“Previously, your teleportation level could only copy the ‘static’ spatial structure of matter,” Sang Zi explained in detail. “But now, your ability also transmits their ‘dynamic’ quantum state information. This inevitably leads to quantum-level disturbances during the matter recombination process…”

“You mean,” Su Ming murmured thoughtfully, “that the material order I copied before was the ‘lifeless’ part, while now, the information I’m transmitting contains ‘lively’ quantum state information?”

“You can draw an analogy like this,” Sang Zi nodded in agreement. “In most cases, this difference won’t have any noticeable effect. But for a structure as precise as a floating gate at the nanoscale, tiny quantum perturbations can cause problems, such as the accidental escape of electrons during the recombination process. This is a random, low-probability event, but if a floating gate cell is particularly unlucky and loses too many electrons, it will cause the data bits it represents to be incorrect.”

"What is the probability of this going wrong?" Su Ming pressed.

"Based on our mathematical model, the probability of a single bit error is less than one in a hundred million. This matches the actual situation we just encountered—where only one parameter bit in the entire transmitted file was faulty."

At this moment, a staff member walked into the conference room, gently placed a brand new SD card on the table next to Sang Zi, and added, "Mr. Su, this time the re-transmitted file also includes parameter verification. Of course, this will make your operation a little more complicated."

"understood."

Su Ming picked up the small data card and gently twirled it between his fingertips.

“In conclusion,” Sangzi summarized, “maintaining ‘crystal-level’ reconstruction accuracy is more than sufficient for regular teleportation needs. You can now actively adjust the accuracy level according to actual needs—this will allow you to increase the scale of your teleportation!”

"I understand." Su Ming nodded.

By mastering the skill of flexibly selecting the appropriate "resolution" according to the target requirements, Su Ming will gain unprecedented flexibility and room for expansion in the field of matter teleportation.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Su Ming let out a long sigh of relief, his tense mind finally relaxing. "I thought there was some kind of problem with my ability itself."

"You're welcome." Sang Zi smiled gently and sincerely. "As researchers, we actually look forward to the emergence of problems. Because only by encountering contradictions can we find a breakthrough in exploring these unknown areas, and that is precisely the true charm and joy of scientific research!"

She casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear elegantly. "So we should be the ones saying, 'Thank you for your hospitality!'"

Su Ming quietly digested what Sang Zi had just said for a while, "So, with my current level of ability, am I already capable of transmitting entangled photon pairs?"

The core of the planned interdimensional communication scheme is the need to stably transmit entangled photon pairs to another dimension.

Sang Zi gently shook her head. "Based on the data we currently have, your abilities still need further improvement."

From the perspective of mass-energy equivalence, a single photon is millions of times smaller than an electron.

Su Ming's current ability to access electrons does not mean that his mastery of microscopic precision allows him to describe the particle properties of photons.

But continuing to improve, according to the standards of this other world, would mean reaching the level of a Grand Magister—but Su Ming hasn't even started taking any courses related to becoming a Magister yet. "This might be a bit troublesome," Su Ming sighed softly. "In the realm of extraordinary power, haste makes waste. And some—" He paused, searching for the right words, "...are frightening!"

"You mean awe?" Sang Zi raised an eyebrow with interest. "Or is it that this kind of power is difficult to control?"

“Any power requires a gradual understanding of its nature in order to be truly controlled!” Su Ming explained. “Imagine if we brought a group of otherworldly magicians to Earth, trained them for five months, and then put them in charge of operating a nuclear power plant—what do you think the consequences would be?”

Sang Zi had to admit, "That's true... we can't act rashly!"

"So," Su Ming changed the subject, turning his attention to Sang Zi, "what's the current progress of your research?"

“The experiment of continuous transmission of large-scale entangled photon pairs is underway.” Sang Zi quickly pulled up a latest experimental progress report and displayed it on the screen. “Our current core research direction is to improve the throughput and long-term fidelity of entangled photon pairs to a practical level. However…” She paused slightly, “we are actually also exploring another technical route in parallel.”

"Oh? What route?" Su Ming immediately asked.

“Entangled electron pairs,” Sang Zi said. “This path is currently lagging behind overall.”

Su Ming instantly understood the other party's considerations; it was actually to ensure compatibility with the speed at which his abilities improved.

If Su Ming cannot transmit entangled photon pairs, then Earth could accommodate him by creating and transmitting entangled electron pairs, which might be a faster path.

After all, in the realm of electronics, even though Su Ming still has a gap to close, his goal is already visible.

"Thank you for your trouble, but please make sure to expedite the process," Su Ming said solemnly. "I have a large amount of information and data from another world to send back, and I need to use the resources here for analysis."

One of Su Ming's planned tasks for returning to the other world was to conduct a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the vast magical system of the other world. His tireless efforts in collecting magical texts and documents in the other world were precisely for this purpose.

The workload of analysis is undoubtedly astronomical, and it can only be completed by relying on the computing power of supercomputer clusters on Earth and the collaboration of large-scale professional engineering teams.

Therefore, establishing an efficient and stable interdimensional communication system to send back this massive amount of magical knowledge data completely is a prerequisite.

Another key task was to obtain the mysterious "gospel material".

He can conduct basic tests and experiments in another world. However, in-depth analysis of the relevant data still requires the support of Earth's technological system.

It's even possible to develop entirely new technologies based on gospel materials and use them directly in another world!

Shortly after Ms. Sangzi left, Jin Rongjia and Tusizi pushed open the door and entered the conference room.

Jin Rongjia looked a little sleepy, with a few strands of hair sticking up in a slightly messy manner. "Sorry, I just woke up."

Because the day and night cycles in the other world are not synchronized with those on Earth, there is a daily discrepancy of about two hours. Su Ming has been so busy these past few days that he hasn't had time to pay attention to the time difference between the two worlds.

Su Ming nodded and gave a brief greeting to the two of them.

He then got to the point and began to briefly describe the current battle situation and circumstances in the other world.

With the completion of the interrogation of prisoners, many details about the Battle of Holy Mountain gradually came to light. Although the resources invested by the Temple of Light in this battle were enormous in terms of both the data on paper and the scale of the operation, it must be admitted that their performance on the actual battlefield was astonishing.

"The Temple of Light is much easier to deal with than we expected." Jin Rongjia said while quickly jotting down key points in his notebook. "Their so-called high-end combat forces are nothing but empty shells, all show and no substance."

“This is largely related to the general moral decay of their core members,” Su Ming further explained. “The main opponents we defeated this time were almost all those who forcibly increased their strength through unorthodox methods. Compared to those combat professionals who have undergone arduous training and have a solid foundation, their flaws and weaknesses are much more obvious and easier to exploit.”
