“Professor Tang, this is…” began the doctors next to him, dumbfounded. They had no idea what Tang Rui had injected into Elder Zhou.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. I just need to replenish my nutrient fluids,” Tang Rui reassured them after finishing the injection, addressing Elder Zhou’s healthcare doctor beside him.

The doctor was in shock.

This raised a question about whether Elder Zhou was actually fine.

Although the effect of the heart recovering was astonishing, no one knew what had been injected.

How was the doctor supposed to write a report?

What should he do about the clinical trials?

“Professor Tang, could you please explain briefly? What should we do next? Are there any precautions?”

“Next…” Tang Rui began, and he briefly described the body’s reaction after the injection of the gene-strengthening fluid, assuring them there was no cause for concern.

As for the specific medicine he injected, he did not disclose anything.

He then left the emergency room.

Tang Rui told Professor Li and others not to worry. Elder Zhou just needed to rest for a while, and he would be fine.

“Is there really no problem?” Professor Li asked in surprise.

When Tang Rui had earlier asked Gao Yang to open the door, they had seen Elder Zhou’s heart rate data on the screen. They had feared the worst for Elder Zhou.

In the end, Tang Rui assured them that Elder Zhou was fine now and only needed time to recuperate.

“Don’t worry,” Tang Rui nodded solemnly, guaranteeing this.

“If he couldn’t be saved, then someone must have deliberately harmed him.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any problems.”

“Professor Tang, may I ask what medicine you used?”

“It’s not medicine; it’s medical nanomachines.”

“Nanomachines?” they echoed in disbelief.

“That’s right.”

Everyone was astonished upon hearing this. They couldn’t believe such a thing could really be created.

Although they were skeptical, they knew the nanotechnology field and the difficulty of manufacturing such tiny robots.

But no one pressed further. Such information was undoubtedly highly confidential.

Had they known, they would not have asked in the first place.

Ten minutes later, under the treatment of the nanomachines, Elder Zhou woke up, much to everyone’s relief.

After visiting Elder Zhou, they left, still reeling from the episode.

Especially the older members of the group.

Their doctors were eager to take their charges away from the scene.

Unfortunately, they were not successful.

However, their daily lives and diets were now severely restricted.

Tang Rui, unconcerned by these matters, recognized the utility of the nanomachines in situations where the gene-strengthening drug could not be widely used.

He did not personally provide these nanomachines.

Sure enough, the next morning, someone from the National Academy inquired about the nanomachines.

Tang Rui explained their function and price, then disengaged himself from the matter.

If they wanted to purchase, they could do so directly from Crimson Company; he did not need to be involved.

Unaffected by external interference, Tang Rui resumed his research on absolute zero, this time using light pressure deceleration and the magneto-optical trap.

However, after a day of experimentation, the results were not ideal. The temperature had dropped very close to absolute zero, but the photons still didn’t stop.

If the photons didn’t stop, absolute zero couldn’t be achieved.

This was frustrating.

Over the following period, Tang Rui alternated between the company and the Hadron Collider experimental base. He listened to reports when available and conducted experiments whenever inspiration struck.

Half a month passed in a blink.

The data from the latest hadron collision experiment had been processed, and new physical phenomena studied.

For further research, a second hadron collision experiment commenced.

This time, Tang Rui didn’t just observe in the command hall.

After receiving the test results, he downloaded a dataset and had Red Lotus analyze it.

The energy level of this collision experiment reached 26 trillion electron volts, significantly higher than previous experiments.

As a result, the data collected was more accurate than before.

One dataset Tang Rui needed was the Bose-Einstein condensation state data.

“I was wrong,” he realized suddenly.

He had always assumed that everything in two-dimensional space was static, like a painting.

In reality, two-dimensional space was dynamic, more akin to animation.

He recognized a flaw in his previous experimental approach.

He had been trying to achieve absolute zero by making the particles stop.

However, static particles and static two-dimensional space were different concepts, and he had erred in his experimental design.

After understanding this, a new challenge arose.

How could he obtain non-static particles in two-dimensional space?

For example, electrons.

In three-dimensional space, one needed to use the wave function to calculate electron speed.

But in two-dimensional space, would non-stationary electrons become orbitals revolving around the nucleus?

If so, there would be no need to study the wave function. Simple orbital calculations would suffice.

One day, while listening to a report, Tang Rui had a sudden insight.

Previously, when using the magnetic trap, he hadn’t considered the challenge of converting three-dimensional space into two-dimensional space.

Even if absolute zero was achieved, the physical properties of the magneto-optical trap would prevent the photon from transitioning into a two-dimensional form.

Realizing this…

Tang Rui immediately returned to his lab and had Red Lotus modify the Magneto-optical Trap to allow some space for expansion.

This wasn’t a major issue.

He just needed to adjust the equipment parameters to create a new Magneto-optical Trap. It was relatively simple.

After completing these adjustments, Tang Rui initiated the absolute zero temperature experiment again.

As the experiment began, the photon’s speed started to decrease.

As its speed dropped, so did its temperature.

Soon, the photons, having lost their energy, became increasingly slower.

Tang Rui watched the sensor data being converted into visual data on the screen, provided by Red Lotus’s simulation.

At this moment, as the photon approached a complete stop, a remarkable phenomenon occurred.

Before, the photon, confined by the Magneto-optical Trap, had slowed almost to a stop, but had not transformed.

But now, as the photon’s speed neared zero and its energy level decreased, it began to change.

The photons were reducing their dimensions, transitioning from photons into light waves.

However, this dimensional reduction was different from what Tang Rui had anticipated.

In front of him, the photon transformed into a light wave, akin to a deflating balloon transitioning from inflated to flat.

Yet, the material composing the balloon – the positive and negative electrons that made up the photon—remained in a three-dimensional state. It was as if the deflated balloon contained many glass beads, propping it up.

This gave the appearance of a flat balloon with many bulging spheres – the positive and negative electrons.

At this moment, the electrons were still moving, neither in a two-dimensional nor a three-dimensional state, but something in-between.

In this unique state, one could observe how the two types of electrons combined without needing to use the wave function.

The trajectories of the positive and negative electrons on the two-dimensional light wave surface were strikingly beautiful. Each arc was perfectly formed.

But these weren’t just arcs.

In metaphysical terms, they were manifestations of the laws of the universe..
