Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 194 - 154 Yang-Mills Gauge Field

Wang Qi arrived at the dormitory rooftop, stretched out his right hand downward, and with a press, the robust mana of the Heavenly Entropy Technique was released; a square meter block of accumulated snow was rapidly melted and evaporated. Then, Wang Qi picked up a jar of Spiritual Wine and sat down on the spot.

The snowflakes in the air continued to plummet down, still automatically veering away from Wang Qi. Even the very few snowflakes that did come close were vaporized by the scattered heat of the Heavenly Entropy Technique, leaving not a trace behind.

Wang Qi casually thrust the wine jar into the snow, using it as an ice-chill method. He gazed into the distance towards Xinyue Inner City, which was not far below the mountain, looking rather enthusiastic. The Cloud Mountain Mist Shield Array, which protected Xin Mountain, blocked some of the snow, so the weather in the Inner City appeared better than in the Outer City.

The climate of Xinyue Inner City and the Outer City were entirely different. The Outer City was mostly inhabited by mortals, while the Inner City was solely cultivators. Spirits of cultivators were robust, not much concerned about day and night, making Xinyue Inner City a Sleepless City. Besides, cultivators didn’t observe human holidays, but that didn’t rule out some indulging in the festive spirit when the mood struck; thus, even within this Immortal City, there was a hint of the New Year’s ambiance.

The jar of sweet wine that Wang Qi held was something he bought along the way.

Presumably a celebration, the Cloud Mountain Mist Shield Array, which usually looked just like a haze, today was adorned with a hint of brilliance—spectacular and beautiful. The distant Sleepless City, reflected in the sky full of colorful auspicious light, truly had some of the majesty of a mortal fairyland.

Wang Qi took out a cup from his Storage Bag, poured himself a drink, and seemed to find it lacking; he reached out a bit further, and then many of the snowflakes, attracted by an invisible force, naturally fell into his cup.

Zhen Chan couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the principle behind this?"

He had been wanting to ask since a while ago. The method Wang Qi used after retracting the Phase Wave to block the falling snow did not seem to be any known Divine Skill or Spell.

Wang Qi took a sip of his wine and said, "Heavenly Song."

Zhen Chan was surprised, "Electromagnetism controlling water?"

"Water molecules are polar molecules; each molecule has a magnetic pole, but they cancel each other out macroscopically and don’t produce a magnetic field. It’s not difficult to manipulate snowflakes by creating a specific magnetic field around oneself."

"But… in the Ancient Method, there are magnetic Divine Skills such as the Elemental Magnetic Divine Light. Hasn’t anyone discovered it in tens of thousands of years?" Zhen Chan mused, "Magnetic control over water, how many Divine Powers and Spells could this derive…"

Wang Qi shook his head, "Impossible. First of all, the Ancient Method doesn’t have the concept of a molecule, so how would they know water molecules have magnetic poles? Moreover, this method consumes a huge amount of computational power, and manipulating snowflakes is already my limit. If it were a slightly bigger rainstorm, I couldn’t guarantee I wouldn’t get wet. Efficiency-wise, it’s also far inferior to directly controlling water with mana."

Zhen Chan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What are you using this for?"

"It’s about style!" Wang Qi said matter-of-factly, "Wouldn’t it be lacking in flavor if a ’traveler in the wind and snow at night’ didn’t have snow falling on him?"

"Mm," Zhen Chan nodded in understanding, "So you’re just practicing your electromagnetic control skills."

"What the… how did you… How did you come to that conclusion? Are those two statements even logically connected?"

"I’ve figured out your way of thinking long ago! What you wanted to say earlier was ’how did you know,’ right? Haha, I haven’t lived over ten thousand years for nothing!"

A ten thousand-year experience in understanding the thinking of a crazy person is indeed no joke...

At that moment, Zhen Chan asked again, "Weren’t you going to join Wanfa Sect, so you temporarily halted the advancement of Heavenly Song? And, I have seen Heavenly Song mana before, but why is yours so odd? Did you modify it yourself?"

Wang Qi took another drink and said, "I’ve been in a bad mood recently, so I wanted to solve a few difficult problems to calm down."

"How much do you like solving difficult problems…"

The youth was very serious, "This time I’ve taken a question that is also a ’big problem’ for me, one concerning Heavenly Song and the ’field’ in Mathematics Scripture. I’ll emphasize again, it’s Mathematics Scripture, so it doesn’t conflict with me focusing on mathematics to advance in Wanfa Sect."

Zhen Chan inquired curiously, "What kind of mathematical problem?"

"Eh… it doesn’t have a name yet."

"Oh, I see," Zhen Chan thought it was some obscure mathematical problem that wasn’t very relevant to cultivation, so he didn’t ask further.

In fact, the "no name" that Wang Qi mentioned was vastly different from what Zhen Chan understood.

"The Existence and Mass Gap of Yang-Mills Fields," one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems proposed in 2000, the most significant mathematical problems for scientific development, echoing the "Hilbert’s twenty-three problems" from 1900.

The mysterious connection between the two worlds had gradually broken off. In this world, Yang Zhenning and Mills didn’t have their corresponding equivalents, and the Unified Field Theory was explained from another angle by Taiyi Heavenly Venerable. Therefore, this problem truly had no name in Shenzhou.

The Millennium Prize Problems, on a par in difficulty with "Hilbert’s twenty-three problems," and in Shenzhou, any one of the Hilbert’s twenty-three problems points directly to the Carefree state. At Wang Qi’s level, solving this particular problem was still beyond his capabilities. He had merely been following the thinking of Earth’s scientists over the past few days, reworking the known parts of the problem on his own.

But merely doing this calculation, he felt immensely benefited.

The method that almost misled Zhen Chan, a Mahayana Cultivator, was the real use of the Yang-Mills gauge field— the manifestation of the Unified Field.

The strong interaction, weak interaction, electromagnetic force, the unification of three of the fundamental forces.

However, due to the low level of his mana, this ability was of no real use to Wang Qi. For Wang Qi, who had cultivated the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture, having low mana was equivalent to having low computational and precision ability. Lacking these two, playing with "atomic collapse" was purely courting death, and a careless chain reaction could even potentially evaporate half of the city— oh, thinking about it that way, it did add a skill for Mutual Destruction.

As mentioned above, for the current Wang Qi, the Heavenly Song field constructed with the Yang-Mills gauge field theory and the one constructed with Maxwell’s Equations were indistinguishable. No, not to mention, the latter was very simple and didn’t burden him much to use.

"Alright, isn’t it just a case of activating a high-level skill at an early stage? I have more than one useless skill, so one more doesn’t make a difference," Wang Qi said, though his expression was somewhat triumphant.

As he said, this skill was a late-game one, closest to the theory of the Unified Field, which combined with the Heavenly Song that directly targeted the essence of electromagnetic force could control three of the four fundamental forces.

Thinking of this, Wang Qi happily downed his third cup of wine.

Just then, an unexpected voice came from not too far away.

"Meow meow meow meow meow~"

"No way, Xiao Min! You can’t just run around meowing!"
