The Wandering Planet

The strong electromagnetic field that blocks sophons has gradually narrowed to the northern hemisphere, and will further shrink to a city, a block, or even a room, or a molecule.

The reason why Qiao Lv and the others need to enter in advance is to interfere with the sophons, preventing them from further collecting electrons, and preventing them from having the opportunity to escape from the strong electromagnetic field.

In addition to the combatants in this operation, there is also a special person who volunteered, that is Ding Yi, a scientific madman wandering the earth.

In principle, technical talents like Ding Yi would never be sent to the front line.

But Ding Yi kept begging Qiao Lv to bring him along, just to see Sophon's true face in Lushan.

Ding Yi said: "You need someone who knows Sophon well enough to go with you. You can't do it with just a group of soldiers. You can't run around like blind flies who don't even know what Sophon looks like." Bar?"

"That shouldn't be you, doctor." Qiao Li resolutely objected, "What a loss to the scientific community if something goes wrong!"

"It's as if you yourself are not important, don't you also put yourself in danger all day long?" Ding Yi retorted.

Qiao Lv was really embarrassed to say anything in this regard, so he had to change his mind and persuade him:

"I am a fighter myself, and I have enough ability to protect myself. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and I really can't guarantee that I can still take care of your safety."

"This life is my own, and I have the right to do what I want."

Anyway, no matter what Qiao Lv said, Ding Yi insisted on following him. Qiao Lv had no choice but to agree to his request until he claimed that he was going to die in front of Qiao Lv.

Nothing can stop Ding Yi's enthusiasm for science. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he became the chief physicist of the Wandering Earth. Few people can compare with him in this field.

In the end, Qiao Lv had no choice but to come forward to guarantee Ding Yi's participation in this operation, and asked the Wandering Earth Investigation Team to protect his safety.

Probably as Ding Yi said, in the almost completely unfamiliar microscopic world, it is also very necessary for this operation to have a physics expert who can help explain various phenomena.

Qiao Lv and his party stood on the starting platform of the Quantum Realm, and everyone was wearing a white uniform with Pym particles.

The strong electromagnetic field further narrowed down to the scope of Asia, and the monitoring found that the sophons were indeed bumping around in the magnetic field, and they were probably rapidly checking every electron.

"Countdown to departure, three, two, one!"

As Hank Pym pressed the start button of the device, the platform under the feet of Qiao Lv and others instantly turned into a tunnel, and then everyone shrank rapidly and fell into it, just like falling into a black hole.

In the process of shrinking, Qiao Lu first saw large and small bacteria, dragging long flagella, wandering like tadpoles.

The tardigrades, which can only be seen with a microscope at ordinary times, are now like giant monsters in the deep sea, at least much larger than bacteria.

The smaller ones are viruses, with strange shapes, and most of them are covered with bumps or spikes on the surface, like a weird fruit.

It's just that these are just passing by Qiao Lv's eyes, because they still have to enter the deeper microscopic world, even a single cell is as vast as the Milky Way.

Qiao Lv and his party fell all the way into the hole-like structure in cheese or cake, this layer has already reached the molecular level,

They continue to shrink and fall into these holes.

Then what came into view was a structure like a celestial body, with several smaller spheres revolving around a large sphere, which are the extranuclear electrons and nuclei that make up atoms.

In the eyes of Qiao Lv and others who have shrunk down to the subatomic level, the atomic nucleus is as huge as a planet, which contains protons and neutrons, and when they are subdivided, there are quarks and gluons, but this step is basically enough .

Qiao Lv and the others fell on an atomic nucleus, and the electrons formed a cloud of probability like a mass of paste around it, with complex colors and lines constantly changing in a wider area.

It may be what string theory or membrane theory says, the most basic structure of matter - a line or surface in a state of constant vibration, due to the different vibration frequencies, different subatoms are formed.

Everything seems so bizarre, completely different from the macroscopic world in which human beings originally lived.

In other words, human beings simply cannot imagine that there will be such a colorful world in an extremely small atom.

"Unbelievable!"

The moment she successfully shrunk down to the subatomic level, Ding Yi looked around excitedly. For physicists, this is probably heaven, at least the place closest to scientific truth.

"Sure enough, at the subatomic level, every electron is different. For a long time, the scientific community has believed that the mass, charge and structure of electrons are fixed, so they are all exactly the same elementary particles. But Now we can finally see, we just haven't gotten to the point where we can see the difference!"

"Pay attention, doctor, we are not here for scientific research." Qiao Li interrupted.

No one can know how far human beings are from the real completely indivisible elementary particles. Qiao Lv is not interested in getting entangled in this aspect, they are here to hunt Sophon!

"Everyone, please confirm the oxygen content and whether the weapons and equipment are normal. Don't lose the chain when the battle begins!"

Since human beings shrink to the subatomic level, an oxygen molecule will be countless times larger than itself, so if you want to move freely in this situation, you must shrink the oxygen to the subatomic level to be able to breathe normally in the microcosm.

At the same time, after shrinking to this level, there is no way to perceive the macroscopic world, just as the microscopic world cannot be observed in the macroscopic world.

The sensors and I/O interfaces inside the equipment are smaller than the wavelength of all electromagnetic waves, which means that Qiao Lv and the others cannot keep in touch with the outside world, so here they can only rely on their improvisation.

It can be said that exploring this microscopic world is as dangerous as exploring space, or even worse, and if you are not careful, you will never be able to come back.

Because of this, human civilization has been unable to deal with sophons that are only the size of protons. It is simply a contest in different dimensions.

After Qiao Lv's reminder, Ding Yi returned to the topic and said:

"The sophon has continuously shrunk to the size of an ordinary proton, which means that it, like us, has no way to perceive the macroscopic world. At least the outside world has escaped the surveillance of the sophon, and the next step is to compete with it in the subatomic microscopic world gone."

Now is the first time for humans to compete with sophons on the same dimension, and the victory or defeat with the Three-Body Civilization is here!
