Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

Old Chen suddenly spoke up: "The fact that the United States wants to participate in the wormhole experiment is not about how much they can offer."

"In their report, Dr. Brian mentioned that they detected anomalous gravitational wave signals, which means that although they are not capable of creating wormholes, they are at least able to monitor wormhole experiments."

"In other words, the United States' intelligence capabilities remain very strong in places we can't see."

"Instead of letting them eavesdrop secretly, we should let them in openly."

"The Great Xia Kingdom is never afraid of being seen by others; what it fears is closing its head and working in isolation, becoming arrogant and complacent."

"If the United States wants to participate, then so be it."

He added as soon as he finished speaking.

"But there is one condition."

"During the experiment, the team of scientists from the Lighthouse Country must be under the full supervision of the military of the Great Xia Country."

"All experimental data belongs to the Great Xia Kingdom. The Lighthouse Kingdom can share it but cannot monopolize it."

"The scope of use and the recipients of the data must be approved in writing by the government of the Great Xia Kingdom."

"They must sign and put their fingerprints on the document, making it legally binding. Above this bottom line, everything is negotiable."

After he finished speaking, the conference room was silent for a few seconds.

Then, Zhou Zhenguo was the first to raise his hand, followed by Han Li.

Then it was Zhao Yuanshan, and then everyone else.

Passed unanimously.

Old Chen nodded slightly, then turned to Lin Tian: "Then it's settled. The Black Hole Legion and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be jointly responsible for the follow-up coordination."

"Lin Tian, ​​you are in charge of the technology. You can't let outsiders touch our core technology. You need to be aware of that."

"Understood." Lin Tian's reply consisted of only two words.

When the reply was sent back to the United States, Brian stared at the screen in his office for a long time.

Yes, but there are conditions.

He knew this was the best offer the United States could get.

Given Lin Tian's temperament, the fact that he agreed to allow scientists from the United States to enter the experimental site demonstrates that the Great Xia Kingdom currently adopts an open attitude towards the United States.

Without any hesitation, he immediately replied, "Agreed."

The preparations for the experiment were far more complex than anyone had anticipated.

According to the Ayrs database, the first wormhole could not possibly be a large wormhole.

Taking that kind of risk is tantamount to suicide.

Even the collapse of the smallest wormhole can release enough gravitational waves to shatter celestial bodies within tens of light-years in radius.

Therefore, the first attempt must begin with a micro wormhole.

The diameter only needs to be greater than the Planck length, which is 10 to the power of negative 35 meters.

It is enough to maintain existence in spacetime for one-thousandth of a second.

In this way, even if the wormhole collapses rapidly after it is formed, the energy of the released gravitational waves is controllable.

At least it will not have a catastrophic impact on the surrounding celestial bodies.

Even so, the preparations were still so complicated that they were daunting.

Fang Yan is responsible for extracting ultra-high density matter from the super dark matter halo to serve as anchoring material for the wormhole's "entrance" and "exit".

The Ayrs theory explicitly states that two anchor points are required for a wormhole to open.

One is the entrance, and the other is the exit.

Fang Yan spent three whole days immersed in the dark matter halo.

He led the first team through repeated screening and purification of dozens of black holes before finally extracting enough ultra-high density anchoring material.

Lu Xuejian was responsible for coordinating security and safety measures at the experimental site.

Although the aftershocks of the gravitational waves released by the collapse of the wormhole are controllable, they are still enough to shatter any celestial body wandering within the experimental area.

She must ensure that there are no civilian celestial bodies within at least ten light-years of the experimental area.

At the same time, it is also necessary to arrange emergency response formations for the Black Hole Legion so that the entire area can be sealed off immediately in case of any unexpected events.

Chen Wang was responsible for liaising with the team of scientists sent by the United States.

Both sides are well aware that the significance of this collaboration goes far beyond any technical aspect.

This is the first step taken by the two major powers in the face of a possible common threat.

The day Brian arrived at the experimental site with eleven scientists from the United States was an ordinary day.

There was no extra starlight in the sky, only dark matter slowly churning, like a silent black ocean.

Their transport ships were anchored at outposts outside the experimental area.

Approximately three light-years.

Then they transferred to a military transport ship of the Great Xia Kingdom to travel to the core area.

Everyone spoke very little along the way.

The view outside the porthole was something Brian would never forget.

Two quasars, about half a light-year apart, float in the void.

The accretion disk of the primordial quasar rotated slowly, while Su Li's quasar hung quietly opposite it.

Hundreds of black holes orbit around the two quasars.

They are arranged in an extremely regular array, with their gravitational fields coupling and superimposing with each other, forming a huge gravitational resonance network.

From a distance, it looks like a giant ring-shaped array made of black holes.

The impact of this scene is beyond the scope of what words can describe.

Brian later wrote in his memoirs that it was the closest thing to a miracle that human intelligence could conceive.

The experiment officially started at the scheduled time.

The two quasars simultaneously tuned their gravitational wave frequencies to a precise match.

With the experience from last time, the tuning went much more smoothly this time, and the whole process took less than two hours.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of black holes began to release directional gravitational waves simultaneously.

These directional gravitational waves reflect, superimpose, and resonate back and forth between the two quasars, gradually building an invisible gravitational wave "bridge".

The essence of this bridge is a highly focused beam of gravitational waves that establishes a stable quantum entanglement channel between the singularities of two quasars.

The next step is to use this channel to inject negative energy density between the two singularities.

A tiny tunnel was forcibly torn open in spacetime.

For the first thirty minutes of the experiment, everything went more smoothly than expected.

Negative energy density was successfully injected.

Guided by gravitational beams, negative energy began to slowly accumulate between the singularities of the two quasars.

The time tunnel has begun to take shape.

On the detector's screen, the spacetime curvature data between the two singularities began to show an extremely peculiar fluctuation pattern, which perfectly matched the precursors to the formation of a wormhole.

Brian stood on the bridge, staring intently at the data curves on the screen.

His palms were sweaty.

The scientists from the United States behind him also held their breath.

Everyone knows that if this tunnel can be stably constructed, even if only for a moment, human civilization will enter a completely new era.

But at the very moment the singularity made contact, the wormhole's stability suddenly collapsed without warning.
