    A monthter.


    In the assembly workshop nestled in the mountains, a massive piece of equipment, measuring 58 meters in length and 12 meters in diameter, was suspended in mid-air by a crane.


    Several robots were busy making adjustments to the equipment.


    This colossal device was the quantum information transmissionmunication satellite, an invention of Tang Rui’s conception.


    It was not constructed based on existing blueprints; instead, Tang Rui designed it himself through continuous experimental research.


    Even if he had the blueprints, he wouldn’t have been able to replicate themunication satellite post-system enhancement. Someponents and equipment were beyond even Red Lotus’s manufacturing capabilities. Nevertheless, Tang Rui had sessfully deciphered the theory behindmunication satellites.


    Indeed, delving into fundamental theories was exceedingly taxing on the brain. Tang Rui had ess to blueprints and advanced equipment.


    With the assistance of the advanced artificial intelligence, Red Lotus.


    It took him over a month to grasp the underlying principle and then considerable effort to construct such an enormousmunication satellite. He hardly took breaks.


    This gigantic object, spanning dozens of meters, was amunication satellite.


    Its energy source was a nuclear reactor.


    Although the equipment was now built, there was still a significant gap in performance.


    The device’s dy-freemunication range was limited to four million kilometers, which paled inparison to the system-enhanced version.


    But this device was Tang Rui’s own creation.


    All the research results were his solo efforts.


    The sense of achievement was indeed unique.


    “Master, the atomic clock has been installed, and the program parameters adjusted. Shall wemence testing?” Hong Lian’s virtual image materialized beside Tang Rui, inquiring.


    “Begin the test,” Tang Rui nodded.


    “Testing underway. Signal transmission: normal, information decoding: normal, information processing: normal…”


    Data streamed before Tang Rui’s eyes.


    Red Lotus continued scrutinizing the various functions and parameters of themunication satellite.


    “Master, testing isplete.”


    “Very well.”


    Tang Rui nodded, examining the data disyed on the holographic projection before him, and sighed with a mix of relief and disappointment.


    This was themunication satellite he had painstakingly created. Yet,pared to the original version, itgged far behind the technology of its era. “Master, shall we proceed with further modifications?”


    “No, let’s upload all the previous experimental data and the design drawings of thismunication satellite to the database.”


    “Understood, Master. Uploading to Red Lotus now.”


    Tang Rui turned and left the assembly workshop, heading back to theboratory.


    There, he began drafting his thesis:


    [Energy Boundary Decline Effect]


    [Using Wormholes and Gravity Wells for Information-Dimensional Travel] [Mapping Four-Dimensional Space-Time Information on the Boundary of Three-Dimensional Space]


    [The Expression and Calction Method of a Wormhole’s Dimensional Coordinates in Three-Dimensional Space-Time.]


    Tang Rui feverishly documented all the physics knowledge he had uncovered over the month.


    The thesis might have been hastilyposed,


    But he didn’t mind because it encapsted his thoughts and ideas throughout his research.


    Anyone reviewing his thesis could roughly trace how he developed the quantum information shuttlemunication device step by step.


    With the theoretical information he provided, the quantum information shuttlemunication device was no longer an unfounded concept. Even with current technology limiting dy-freemunication to 4 million kilometers, his theory paved the way for future advancements, potentially reaching distances of 100 astronomical units or more.


    After several hours, hepleted all the papers and a few untested conjectures, then had Red Lotus upload them to the database.


    Having finished, Tang Rui headed straight home, took a shower, and promptly went to bed.


    In the past month, he had avoidedte nights, but his brain had been constantly active, draining a lot of energy.


    Now, he was ready for a well-deserved rest, intending to take a break from everything else.


    In the confidential database room, once Tang Rui uploaded the information, the staff knew immediately and began to categorize the content.


    But before doing so, the on-duty staff decided to check the end of the information.


    Tang Rui often left messages there, like reminders for quick reviews or directions to send the information to specific research institutes or departments.


    Initially, theputer room staff were reluctant.


    Their primary job was ensuring the database’s integrity, not acting as messengers.


    But Tang Rui was an exception.


    His level of influence demanded attention.


    Thus, when Tang Rui left a message, they had no choice but toply.


    Assignments from someone of his stature were never insignificant.


    “Good news today. President Tang left no message.”


    The staff chuckled upon not finding a closing message, then proceeded to categorize and store the information.


    The satellite blueprints were filed under the satellite subsection within the aerospace technology catalog, and specifically under themunication satellite section.


    Blueprints were straightforward to file.


    But the thesis posed a challenge.


    After reading Tang Rui’s work, the staff was baffled.


    Should it be filed under Information and Communication Technology or Physics Theory?


    Most of the thesis revolved aroundmunication satellites, but it was steeped in physics theories.


    In the end, they decided it wasn’t their concern.


    Given the shockingly advanced content, it was only reasonable to report Tang


    Rui’s work directly.


    And so, Tang Rui’s papers and satellite designs were promptly escted by the on-duty staff.


    An hourter, forty-seven Professors, including the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the leader of the Quantum Communication Research Group, and the Lunar Inte Program Review and Guidance Group, reviewed Tang Rui’s papers.


    Astonishment was an understatement.


    Many professors were taken aback.


    Professor Yu was particrly stunned.


    The content was beyond hisprehension.


    While he was a satellite and information expert, Tang Rui’s theses, filled with concepts like wormholes, four-dimensional space-time, and information projection, were perplexing.


    Although rted to informationmunication, the core was deeply rooted in quantum physics.


    After digesting the thesis, Professor Yu felt a gap in his knowledge.


    Did satellitemunication now require a background in physics?


    He decided to call Tang Rui for rification on the technology and the thesis’s underlying knowledge.


    But s, the call went unanswered.
