Chapter 796: Chapter 673: Low-Dimensional Bosons and High-Dimensional Fermions

Lynn had long been accustomed to such issues; it was not surprising that high-level intelligent life forms invariably encountered conflicts and contradictions.

Even previously, in Wizard Land, the contradictions between commoners and wizards had already begun to emerge.

Wizards, who held power, wealth, and status, not only eliminated the nobility but also replaced them.

The difference between the two was that wizards themselves represented advanced productive forces. Even an apprentice could replace ten laborers, whereas nobles had nothing special to offer besides their status.

However, these conflicts were temporarily alleviated by substantial advances in productivity after his arrival, only to re-emerge now.

The reason was simple: the number of wizards had reached one-quarter of the population, becoming an unavoidable issue.

The approach Lynn had always advocated for the council was simple: to promote the magical transformation of the entire kingdom. If everyone became a wizard, then naturally, the conflicts between wizards and the impoverished would be resolved. The only problem was that it was too slow and could only be achieved with the passing of generations, requiring at least another fifty years.

Fortunately, the good news still outweighed the bad. Besides a booming population, over the years, the council had essentially adopted the various technologies provided by the geometric civilization. Antimatter annihilation furnaces built on various planets had replaced the old hydrogen fusion reactors, improving efficiency by dozens of times, with energy being virtually inexhaustible.

The spaceships had been upgraded to the tenth generation, no longer requiring deities as fuel and capable of traveling at light speed with performance metrics several times higher than before due to breakthroughs in materials science.

One piece of good news after another delighted Lynn; the situation was much better than he had anticipated.

“What should we do next? Should we return to the vast universe?” Harrov asked.

“I think it’s better to stay here. Fifty times the flow of time allows us to accomplish many things,” Vittorio proposed with a different opinion. Since they could maintain their existence in the Sea of Quanta, they might as well continue to stay.

The others had diverging views. Boulder was inclined to stay here as it had taken him only twenty years to complete his promotion, and he was still some distance from breaking through to the intermediate Divine Power.

Aurora and Anthony preferred to return. They had already spent sixty-seven years here and found this “narrow” world somewhat tedious. Most importantly, the promotion of a Star God required the search for a suitable planet in the outer world, which was the current best method for the council to enhance its overall strength.

After pondering for a moment, Lynn slapped the table and decided, “Then let’s go back after three more years!”

Having just completed his promotion, he needed some time to familiarize himself with the increased power, but it was not suitable to stay here indefinitely.

Although the fiftyfold flow of time gave them an advantage, since the council had already applied the foundational technologies given by the geometric civilization, it was impossible to expect significant breakthroughs in the short term.

Furthermore, the resources of a star system had been almost exhausted, and they urgently needed external resources to supplement them.

In addition, there were still many issues to deal with from the geometric civilization. Seventy years here was about a year and a half in the vast universe, and Lynn had perceived some non-human presences in the magic network links, which indicated that during this time, another batch of leaders had ascended energetically.

After agreeing on a departure time, Boulder and the others returned to their Divine Realms to make final preparations.

Lynn flew alone into the Sea of Quanta to become accustomed to his newly acquired powers.

The connection with the different divine offices was just the most superficial part; more importantly was the breakthrough on the microscopic level.

He could now “see” things smaller than protons and neutrons.

Such as electricity, such as light…

In plain terms, these were fundamental particles. Before, Lynn could only roughly sense their presence, but now he could “see” them more directly.

As he had anticipated, the electrons scattered throughout the Sea of Quanta were, in fact, part of a vast whole, a segment of a larger electron in a higher dimension. However, this connection transcended human comprehension, being simultaneously continuous and interrupted.

The more free the electrons, the closer their connection. They could effortlessly traverse dimensions through these connections, appearing anywhere in the universe, whereas electrons affected by magnetic fields, gravity, and other factors were like free kites tethered by a string, restricted to a limited area.

Dimensions, on the other hand, were curled up layer by layer…

After about half an hour, Lynn began to feel dizzy and weary, a fatigue of the soul. Even with the support of a billion-level wizard computing power, he could not observe higher-dimensional spaces for long and needed to pause temporarily.

With a gesture, Lynn used mechanical Divine Arts to draw in a speck of dust from the star system and dispersed it into protons and neutrons using material analysis spells. Then, he used the electromagnetic divine office to temporarily neutralize the Strong Nuclear Force, dividing it into even smaller quarks and leptons before continuing to cut.

This time, however, he hit a wall. Lynn tried to let two groups of quarks collide at the speed of light, but the result was merely that some high-mass state quarks lost a portion of energy without shattering…

Next came cuts using the smaller-scale electron knives and spatial cuts…

Lynn tried various methods, but they all ended in vain.

According to the Federal Standard Model theory, fermions and bosons are likely to be the fundamental particles of the universe. Quarks and electrons belong to fermions, while the likes of photons fall under bosons, the distinction being in how the particles combine.

Simply put, bosons can stack indefinitely in a region, exhibiting low-dimensional characteristics, akin to a low-dimensional object without width or height that can stack endlessly in high-dimensional space without occupying any space.

Fermions, however, have a limit. The number of fermions a space can accommodate is always finite.

Nevertheless, Lynn believed fermions and bosons were not the most basic particles in the universe. Despite their small size, there was still a significant gap from the Planck length.

In fact, the geometric civilization had already determined that particles smaller than electrons truly existed and had named them cosmic primordial particles, believing they formed all fundamental particles, were the fundamental form of energy transformation, and marked the boundary between the tangible and intangible–the true unified theory.

However, even with the capabilities of the geometric civilization, it was impossible to capture, influence, or separate these cosmic primordial particles.
