Ever since arriving in the Damo Realm, the rabbits have encountered many situations that don't align with known concepts.

For example, talismans, spirit medicine, spirit pills, and magical artifacts.

After all, the Damo Realm has spiritual energy, an α material, so many traditional native understandings cannot be directly applied to the Damo Realm.

The Damo Realm could be seen as an alien spaceship that landed on the native land. It's unnecessary to doubt it excessively because the finished product is right before you; you need to analyze it instead of questioning it.

So when Academician Pan Jianwei proposed the hypothesis of vacuum zero-point energy through long-distance communication,

neither Lu Chaoyang nor Zeng Gu Cheng thought to refute it but forced themselves to connect with this concept, seriously pondering its possibility.

The result after careful thought...

Hey, it actually seems plausible!

Vacuum zero-point energy can actually be read in two parts:

vacuum, zero-point energy.

The vacuum here is not a philosophical concept, nor is it the kind of vacuum without underwear.

It refers to a concept in quantum electrodynamics, a quantum vacuum state with the lowest energy, filled with negative energy electrons in the Dirac sea.

As is well known.

Dirac's quantum vacuum theory postulated the existence of a positron, the antiparticle of an electron — in fact, experiments have already proven that positrons do exist.

Of course, Dirac's theory has flaws, but later quantum field theory refined it.

In summary.

There are vacuum fluctuations in quantum theory — these fluctuations are zero-point energies.

In physics, it is the lowest energy described by quantum mechanics that a physical system can have, and at this time, the system is in its ground state, and all quantum mechanical systems have zero-point energy.

At absolute zero.

The translational motion describing the overall movement of molecules and the rotational motion of molecules around their center of mass disappear.

But molecular vibration, electron motion, and nuclear motion exist at the lowest quantum state, which cannot be frozen by temperature.

So.

The stillness of the objective world is relative, whereas motion is absolute.

In such a situation, the vast background energy contained in the quantum vacuum, which is vacuum zero-point energy, exists.

It interprets vacuum energy as the interaction potential energy, or self-energy, after treating space as a point set.

Using the Schrodinger equation to calculate a harmonic oscillator, one finds that the lowest energy E₀ is not 0, but 0.5ħω.

If you go any further, you enter a region of negative energy, which is inconsistent with cognition.

This 0.5ħω is the so-called zero-point energy.

But if you really calculate like this, you get an immensely large and unimaginable energy:

1E113 joules per cubic meter.

And the vacuum energy, or this energy level of the vacuum, is related to the cosmological constant from a cosmological perspective.

Which means it has some connection with cosmic expansion and dark energy.

So you see, many perpetual motion machines, free energy, and free energy sources like to lean on this.

When in doubt, use quantum mechanics, right?

But most of them are deceptive, like the guy coming back next week and that electric car company starting with T.

The rest are theories far beyond today's technological methods, even more exaggerated than the Bagua diagrams drawn by old science enthusiasts at university gates.

It's unavoidable, because most conventional perpetual motion machines designed and manufactured based on mechanical theory and classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and chemistry find it hard to escape the constraints of the law of conservation of energy and the second law of thermodynamics.

Maybe at this point, some less well-known classmates might have opinions:

No, absolute zero can't be reached, so vacuum zero-point energy doesn't exist.

That statement is actually incorrect.

Vacuum zero-point energy, having been demonstrated by the Casimir effect, has already been proven to exist; the current debate is just about whether it is extractable without limitation.

And in practical operations, between 2014 and 2016, NASA has examined the theoretical feasibility of a zero-point energy drive.

And with the more complete basic papers under the current low-level theory and technology.

The current theoretical model can accelerate a spacecraft with a 1-square-meter cross-section to 0.1 meters/second, with all energy sourced from the vacuum — don't think this number is low, the conditions are in the back, all propelled by vacuum energy.

And in terms of risk, vacuum decay will not occur.

Because the Casimir effect has already produced light from a vacuum in a laboratory without causing any collapse.

So vacuum zero-point energy not only exists but can even be utilized under extremely specific conditions.

It's just that there is sufficient evidence that the Casimir effect is a conservative force, so a perpetual motion machine effect can't be achieved.

If we say the frontier of the field and ordinary public cognition are like two athletes, the scenario 20 years ago was that the frontier led by 15 meters.

And now, can you guess what's the situation?

Ordinary cognition is almost half a lap behind; can you believe it?

This is the infinite charm of physics or science; the degree of verification at the frontier has reached a point ordinary people can hardly imagine.

In summary.

If there is a special means behind the ice coffin to utilize vacuum zero-point energy, then the secondary source of energy for the barrier makes complete sense.

Minutes later, Zeng Gu Cheng finished pondering, expressing admiration:

"As expected of Academician Pan...."

Compared to the possibility that the little girl in the coffin is a super big-shot above Divinity Transformation, Academician Pan's hypothesis is clearly more practical in theoretical terms.

And if iron helium microcrystals are receiving energy through vacuum zero-point energy, it also suggests that within the ice coffin there is.....

Vacuum!

This is another finding capable of making Schrodinger, Dirac, and Casimir lift the lid of their coffins.....

Still, that same statement applies.

The Damo Realm has many 'black boxes,' and when faced with many concepts beyond common sense, one can boldly hypothesize and then verify.

The sight returns to the secret room.

Combining Zhang Mu's speculation with Academician Pan Jianwei's, the operation mode of the ice coffin's barrier is roughly as follows:

Countless helium iron microcrystals in a hexagonal ground state wander around the ice coffin, forming a super-strong barrier.

Moreover, due to vacuum characteristics, neutrinos might find it hard to penetrate — in fact, even if they did, it would be of no use, as the current capture rate of neutrino communication is only three millionths.

And every time matter attempts to pass through this barrier, these microcrystals will form a crystal wall and then decompose into dihelium, thereby sublimating surface energy.

The remaining iron ions continue to drift, generating helium iron microcrystals again under the influence of vacuum zero-point energy.

The vacancies of the decomposed microcrystals are then filled by subsequent microcrystals.

There are many such microcrystals, presumably not fewer than hundreds of trillions within a two-meter range — atoms are extremely tiny, the tip of a pin can hold fifty trillion hydrogen atoms, and each hydrogen atom contains four particles, namely an electron and three quarks contained in a neutron.

Ten thousand pinheads make fifty million trillion hydrogen atoms, and ten thousand pinheads are only the size of three 108-key keyboards.

So it is not exaggerated to say that the barrier has hundreds of millions of trillions of microcrystals, two words, rigorous.

Here is a cold fact worth mentioning:

The total number of particles in the universe is 3.28×10^80, about three quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion.

Although the total number of particles is vast, it is still not enough to fill the entire universe, as on average, there is only one particle per cubic meter of cosmic space.

After determining that there is some vacuum region within the ice coffin, Zhang Yaqing raised her hand and asked:

"Academician Zeng, Professor Lu, since there's a fairly big possibility that the energy of the helium iron arises from vacuum zero-point energy, how should we break this gas... or rather microcrystal barrier?"

Whether the discovery of helium iron or the suspected existence of vacuum zero-point energy belongs to the principle analysis category.

To successfully break the gas barrier, more practical operational means are needed.

Inside the secret room.

Lu Chaoyang exchanged a glance with Zeng Gu Cheng, the two physics experts and smiled knowingly:

"Of course, blow it up!"

Zhang Yaqing and Wei Fan:
