He gritted his teeth, clicked pause, then zoomed in on the upper right corner of the screen, filling the giant display with it, and enlarged it further.
In every "water drop" within the three-dimensional Electron Cloud Map of the Rubidium atom, he saw the dodecahedron.
Ren Zhong took a deep breath.
He adjusted the operating procedures of the detection system, using polarized laser to irradiate the Rubidium atom.
But no matter how he irradiated, no matter how the electron cloud deflected, the large or small dodecahedrons still existed in every "water drop" forming the electron cloud.
Ren Zhong gritted his teeth, chose the molecule of ferric oxide, and continued photon imaging.
The more complex compound molecular electron clouds appeared, but the dodecahedron structure still existed.
Finally, he adjusted the operating procedures of the sampler, demanding the capture of hydrogen atoms in the air.
Eight minutes later, the three-dimensional Electron Cloud Map of the hydrogen atom was displayed on the giant screen.
A dodecahedron visible to the eye stood on the giant screen. The hydrogen nucleus quietly suspended at the geometric center of the dodecahedron.
In the Electron Cloud Map of hydrogen atoms on Earth, the density of black dots representing the likelihood of electron presence should uniformly decrease from inside to outside. But in this Electron Cloud Map of the hydrogen nucleus before Ren Zhong, the probability of electrons appearing at the edges and vertices of the dodecahedron was abnormally high, so much so that visually, this regular polyhedron appeared.
The reasoning concluded, the conclusion emerged. Ren Zhong slumped back into his chair, his head buzzing.
Why the dodecahedron?
Is there a special meaning?
In the field of mathematics, Leonhard Euler proved that the limit of regular polyhedrons is the dodecahedron.
The force restraining the electrons is the Coulomb force, which is the electromagnetic force among the original four fundamental interactions.
It must be that unusual electromagnetic forces gave electrons their special characteristics, leading to this result.
But how could the fundamental interaction forces become unusual?
As early as 1967 CE, human scientists completed the establishment of the electroweak unification theory, proving that electromagnetic interaction and weak nuclear force interaction are two sides of the same force.
Scholars reduced the original four fundamental interactions to three, namely gravitational interaction, strong interaction, and weak electromagnetic interaction.
The abnormal weak electromagnetic interaction is one of the three fundamental interaction forces constructing all things in the universe.
It exists eternally, unshakeable, as the foundational truth composing the human scientific outlook.
But now, it is encoded into information fragments, like the voices of two people conversing, or like light signals running through fiber optic cables.
Its existence form became a medium for transmitting information.
It acts directly at the atomic level, releasing information, turning into the beam of a photolithography machine, or the regular electromagnetic signals surging in the magnetic needle of a tape recorder, directly drawing information at the atomic structure level, and finally "drawing" these dodecahedrons.
How wide is the range of influence?
Is this an accident caused by my insufficient sample size?
In the entire afternoon that followed, Ren Zhong was constantly testing and retesting.
He behaved as if out of simple curiosity, disguising himself as a diligent analysis experimenter.
He tested hundreds of different atomic and molecular samples from solids, liquids, and gases, without exception.
He reached a conclusion.
On the entire Source Star, weak electromagnetic interaction was distorted.
The physical rules were altered from the ground up.
The distorted physical rules affect every atom on the Source Star.
The electrons on this planet no longer obey the uncertainty principle.
Ruined Beasts, Crystal Chips, mineral stones, the short lifespan of humans, the massive invisible human biological clock spanning the planet, the memory fragment information of the deceased retained in the Descending Demon Baby, the birth of the Chenhui Mine...
All these various anomalies that I can’t understand might very well be related to the existence of the dodecahedron.
Through the Information Flow Interference Bomb used once before, Ren Zhong also became aware of the existence of information flow.
What is the relationship between information flow and the abnormal weak electromagnetic interaction?
Could this be the norm in the universe, with Earth’s physical rules being the anomaly?
Ren Zhong, this dual Ph.D. in chemistry and biology from the 21st century, fell into immense confusion and fear.
He let out a cry that a scientist should never let out from deep within.
This is not scientific!
He also harbored a thought a Revolutionary would never want to generate.
What exactly is my enemy’s existence?
I can’t even comprehend it; can I defeat them?
Do the humans on the Source Star know the original shape of the electron cloud?
Because the atoms composing their bodies must also contain a dodecahedron, like a fish in water never knowing it’s in water.
Otherwise, such an obviously abnormal three-dimensional Electron Cloud Map could never appear so blatantly in front of a mere low-level mining worker.
How large is this universe space with different physical rules?
Within the atmosphere of the Source Star?
The entire Planet System?
Or further, in the vast and boundless universe space?
He came here to "borrow" mineral stones this time.
He just wanted to be a gold coin thief, but he unexpectedly discovered a treasure of the Pirate King.
But his hands felt so heavy that he couldn’t even pick up a single coin.
God really doesn’t roll dice anymore.
[The Recommendation Ticket coin slot, I originally wanted to update punctually before 12 o’clock, but I underestimated the writing difficulty of this Chapter. As you can see, the worldview has expanded. Since I didn’t want to pad the word count, I wrote it very simply. I suggest readers who enjoy digging use search engines to understand better. Search keywords: electron cloud, chromium electron cloud, rubidium electron cloud, dodecahedron, fundamental interactions, uncertainty principle. The above word count was modified and added, no charge.]
