Zero's electronically synthesized sound was very bland, without any emotional changes, but it directly touched the hearts of all the academicians.

"What?!"

Tao Yuda subconsciously exclaimed: "Of course, how could the quantum entanglement effect suddenly disappear?"

Not only Tao Yuda, but also most of the academicians present had expressions of mild or severe horror on their faces.

Ever since quantum communication technology matured, human civilization has never encountered such a situation in hundreds of years!

Quantum ultra-distance communication, with its stable and fast characteristics, has quickly occupied the vast majority of communication devices in starships.

Electromagnetic wave communication devices have become an emergency backup option in the fleet.

In order to ensure safety, it is still a communication module that every starship must be equipped with, but the frequency of use has been reduced to a pitiful level.

The most critical point in quantum communication technology is the quantum entanglement effect.

Once the quantum entanglement effect suddenly disappears for some reason, this will be a devastating blow to quantum communication technology!

At the same time, it is also an extremely heavy blow to the People's United Fleet!

In order to ensure communication security, the fleet may need to switch communication methods immediately to prevent sudden interruption of communication links.

As for the alternative electromagnetic wave communication, its propagation speed is too slow and far from meeting the needs of today's human civilization.

Therefore, if it is determined that quantum communication technology has some security risks, developing new communication technologies will become the most important task of the Academy of Humanities and Sciences!

"Zero, are all black hole detectors having trouble?"

Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, all detectors approaching the black hole have experienced the above situation."

Lu Yongchang's mind instantly recalled the scene when the black hole detector was first manufactured.

He turned to look at He Binin not far away with a gloomy expression.

By chance, He Bilin also glanced at him.

The moment their eyes met, He Bilin's lips moved slightly.

Lu Yongchang understood the shape of his mouth.

"[Event Form] theory...?"

He murmured in a low voice with an ugly face.

The evolution of quantum states in singular space-time and flat space-time is different. Under the influence of gravity, entangled quantum pairs will suffer probabilistic losses.

This is the [event form] theory.

This theory has not been confirmed during previous experiments.

But if this theory is confirmed...

This is undoubtedly extremely bad news for human civilization.

The simplest point is that a spacecraft that enters curvature navigation will most likely be unable to use quantum long-distance communication.

…

In the blue holographic projection, the bright white fonts are particularly eye-catching.

[The quantum entanglement effect has completely disappeared.]

[Trying to switch to the electromagnetic wave communication frequency band...]

After a brief period of chaos, the laboratory quickly returned to normal order.

Under the organization of Lu Yongchang, a group of academicians returned to their posts one after another and began to study the reasons behind it.

Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice: "Zero, are electromagnetic wave communications affected?"

"Professor, do you think these black hole detectors may have been destroyed?" The moment he finished speaking, He Bilin's eyes moved and he asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the [event form] theory certainly has a lot of possibilities, but we still have to rule out some necessary options."

Judging from the final information transmitted by the quantum communication device, the current black hole detector is still a certain distance from the black hole event horizon.

Theoretically, in this case, electromagnetic wave communication will not be affected.

Electromagnetic waves propagating at the speed of light will definitely be able to break away from the gravitational pull of the black hole and transmit information to the United Fleet.

Therefore, if the electromagnetic wave communication device is also affected by the image, it means that the black hole detector was destroyed under the influence of certain factors.

"Communication is being established, please wait..."

Zero's response came.

Because of the time deceleration effect, establishing communication links has become a difficult task.

"Professor, do you think it may be caused by the tidal effect?"

He Bilin's voice came again: "This is a small black hole, and its tidal effect cannot be underestimated."

The so-called tidal effect, simply put, when an object falls into a black hole, the end close to the black hole will receive a stronger force than the end far away from the black hole, which will cause the near end to fall toward the black hole faster. Therefore, the entire object will

Stretched and torn.

Therefore, in the process of swallowing a star or planet, a black hole often stretches it into a long noodle - this is called spaghettiization.

The performance of large black holes in this regard is much milder.

Compared with small black holes, the tidal effect of super large black holes is much weaker. Therefore, when humans fall into a large enough black hole, if they are lucky enough, they may be able to spend the rest of their lives in the black hole.

Faced with He Bilin's inquiry, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and then slowly shook his head.

He stretched out his hand and dragged a holographic image, called up a calculation data in it and said, "Look."

"This is the calculated data before launching the black hole detector."

"Through the information sent out by these black hole detectors just before they lost contact, we can roughly calculate their locations."

"According to calculations, the tidal force at that location is not enough to tear it apart."

He Bilin's expression changed instantly.

He suddenly realized the meaning behind Lu Yongchang's words!

"Then what do you mean..."

"That's right." Lu Yongchang's eyes showed deep worry, "All the clues seem to be pointing in one direction."

"If traditional electromagnetic wave communication methods are also affected, all black hole detectors will lose contact at the same time..."

"Then, these detectors are most likely to have encountered attacks from advanced civilizations."

He Bilin subconsciously held his breath.

"This, how is this possible..."

"A civilization living near a black hole, how powerful this must be!"

"Even the sweeper civilization may not be able to live near a black hole, right?!"

Lu Yongchang was silent for a while and responded in a low voice.

"Who knows?"

"Perhaps such a powerful civilization really exists?"

"Everything depends on the reaction of the electromagnetic wave communication device."

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang raised his head and looked worriedly at the bright white fonts slowly beating in the blue projection.
