"I directly stated that I want to study ancient civilizations and hope to attract talents who are proficient in both History and technology to come to me; salary is not an issue."
"Yes, sir."
The world instantly plunged into a whirlpool of selection, with many talents eagerly signing up with Ziyu. However, what Ziyu intended to do was not simple, so Ziyu had Zero conduct a strict screening.
Ziyu did not want people who could not contribute to this endeavor to benefit from Ziyu's resources for free.
"What we need to do is uncover the profound truths contained within ancient superstitions. This task is challenging... it's akin to finding patterns of life in certain folk sayings and explaining them. What we need is to discover the treasures of our Earth's ancient cultures," Ziyu said to the elite recruits.
After discussing many matters with these individuals, Ziyu took the blueprints of Taiji and historical records and left.
Ziyu aimed to unravel the mysteries of Taiji by himself.
"Zero, I believe this Taiji diagram of yin and yang contains many principles..." Ziyu pondered. "Perhaps a special arrangement of opposing substances could trigger unique reactions..."
There are indeed numerous legends about Taiji.
"The unity of yin and yang is called the Dao," the chaotic interplay of yin and yang is what Taiji refers to as the 'official' Daoist interpretation.
Taiji also means "the center of space," and it conceals profound truths, hiding certain mysteries.
"This isn't merely about the harmony of yin and yang," Ziyu shook his head.
Ziyu had previously experimented with controlling particle movement using electric fields to form Taiji.
"Sir, you could experiment with various methods... using different substances and their opposites for collisions... such as flame particles and water molecules, yin and yang ions, positive particles and negative particles," Zero suggested.
"Various methods?" Ziyu stood up. "Let's give it a try."
"Number one failed... Number two failed... Number three failed... ... Number thirty-six failed... All failed..." Ziyu frowned as he looked at the experimental platform where multiple experiments were being conducted simultaneously.
"Sir, all have failed, but sometimes there are subtle changes between substances... This indicates that Taiji still has its uses; it's just that our methods are wrong," Zero said.
Ziyu's method involved simulating the shape of Taiji with particles and rotating them at high speeds until they fused.
"Some progress has been made." A few days later, Ziyu smiled slightly as a change appeared on one of the screens, which only showed up after someone had made progress.
Ziyu walked to the door and waited.
"Mr. Ziyu, here is my research report for your review," a young man handed over a report.
Ziyu took the report and nodded at the young man.
"About... Antimatter?" Ziyu was taken aback, then it seemed like something clicked in his mind.
Ziyu continued reading; this research was derived from an ancient ritual in a certain place.
"Antimatter..." Ziyu murmured, "Well done."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ziyu slightly bowed and said to the young man.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Zero, try the motion of a certain particle's Positive Matter and Antimatter," Ziyu said excitedly after arranging things for the young man.
The discovery of Antimatter in ancient activities? That suggests there were records of using Antimatter in ancient times, so it's very likely that Taiji also utilized Antimatter!
Every particle that exists stably in this world is Positive Matter, while Antimatter cannot exist for long periods. Scientists in the past have also created Antimatter through high-speed collisions, but only in tiny amounts, and it disappeared in an instant.
Positive Matter and Antimatter release incredibly powerful energy when they neutralize each other... Nuclear Energy is nothing compared to it.
This time, Ziyu has mastered the technology to produce large amounts of Antimatter! Earth's technology has advanced, and research now takes much less time.
Ziyu disperses a large number of molecules and then conducts high-speed impacts, using a special method to convert half of the positive molecules into Antimatter.
"It's really hard to control." Despite using magnetic fields, electric fields, and other control fields, it remains quite difficult. "I can't afford to fail..."
Once Positive Matter and Antimatter start to merge, Ziyu will be facing a super explosion very close to him!
Zero is also making slight adjustments to prevent any misoperations by Ziyu.
"Start simulating the form of Taiji, Zero, shut down all entrances."
All connections to the outside have been reinforced with metal barriers to prevent any explosion from affecting the outside... Ziyu is already prepared for an explosion.
Ziyu is now alone in the laboratory, watching the changes in matter before him.
Positive Matter has reached a very high density and is now visible, while Antimatter remains intangible.
"Crack crack crack..." It sounds like lightning striking as it resonates in front of Ziyu, where the Antimatter is located.
"What's happening?" Ziyu wonders, as it doesn't seem like it's about to explode.
"Crack crack crack..." A powerful energy has emerged, causing the nearby space to tremble slightly. Ziyu's vision distorts as he looks through the edge of the swirling Antimatter.
"Sir, if these substances explode, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Zero said seriously.
The explosion of these substances cannot be blocked by just one or two pieces of Metal Plate. It would be a small matter if Ziyu's house were destroyed.
"Swish... Boom!"
The spinning disk of Antimatter in front of Ziyu suddenly sank, condensing into a central point, and then a visible ripple in space began to vibrate outward...
The space in front of Ziyu shattered like glass...
"Sir, after the Antimatter is highly condensed, it generates energy in a very small area, resulting in a high-intensity explosion that ruptures space... In a sense, it has constructed a wormhole," Zero said.
The fragments of space are two-dimensional, but in this three-dimensional world, there are no two-dimensional objects. Therefore, the rupture created will connect to another space, forming a wormhole.
A wormhole, tall enough for a person to stand in, appeared before Ziyu.
So the Antimatter can indeed form a wormhole in the shape of Taiji... However, the wormhole created by Ziyu had no settings at all.
"But sir, right now we cannot accurately construct a directional wormhole; we don't know what lies on the other side. Secondly, our construction method is quite risky..." Zero said.
Ziyu understood. A technology that could easily explode was essentially playing with fire.
"The energy released by the Antimatter is substantial and has not completely dissipated yet. This wormhole should be able to last for some time," Zero detected the changes in energy.
Ziyu fell silent and looked toward the other side of the wormhole.
On the other side of the wormhole was a barren land, appearing very primitive.
"Whoosh..."
In the distance over there was a figure in the sky.
Ziyu observed this figure through the telescope equipment.
A Black-Robed Youth stood alone in mid-air, gazing in one direction.
On the other side, a cloud of black smoke approached...
The Black-Robed Youth moved his lips slightly, then brought his palms together to form a seal...
A colorful energy gathered above the Black-Robed Youth's head, then converged into the shape of Taiji. After the yin and yang merged, it transformed into a chaotic gray, which fell down onto the youth. Then an immense surge of energy erupted from the Black-Robed Youth's palms!
Ziyu watched in astonishment; what kind of power was this?
The Black-Robed Youth seemed to realize something and turned to look in Ziyu's direction...
"It's him!"
Ziyu was shocked; this Black-Robed Youth was indeed the man he had seen with a woman outside the atmosphere that day!
