String Theory

Perceiving vibrational frequencies, the most basic application was to achieve spatial displacement.

If this ability had to be scientifically explained, it is by the string theory. The string theory is considered to be the groundbreaking theory that unifies the four fundamental forces and general relativity.

The string theory proposes that all matter in the universe is composed of tiny segments called "strings," some extending across the vastness of space, while others exist between electrons. These strings are the fundamental units that make up the current state of the universe.

After the Big Bang, a large number of cosmic strings were generated, some of which are over a hundred billion light-years long. These strings are difficult to observe directly and require the use of gravitational lenses for indirect discovery.

A common speculation suggests that cosmic strings exist within binary star systems, formed by gravitational resonance between binary stars. The resonating bodies generate a series of standing waves. When a string vibrates, two stable nodal points are formed. Daisy's teleportation principle is based on vibrating a specific string to move from one point to another.

Previously, Daisy had experimented a few times, but unfortunately with no success. Now, after listening to Dr. Pym's calculations, several hurdles have been overcome, and clarity suddenly dawns upon her.

Although Dr. Pym is still engrossed in his calculations, she correlates her ability with his theories, and her mind starts to estimate.

"Zzzz..." "Zzzz..." Vibrational waves emitted from her palms create friction in the air. She is sensing the frequencies, attempting to find a string she can utilize.

The peculiar sound distracts Dr. Pym from his calculations, and he looks curiously at Daisy.

Initially, a faint light halo of pale blue color appears, resembling a small flame. The radiance gradually intensifies, revealing something within. Before Dr. Pym can speak, there's a "bang" as a small fireball explodes in the air. Debris scatters, accompanied by a substantial amount of sand.

The explosion occurs abruptly, and Daisy is caught in the midst of it.

Dr. Pym rushes to get a fire extinguisher, only to find no open flame—just an abundance of dust. His pristine laboratory, once immaculate, now resembles an abandoned building.

"Ugh..." Covered in ash and dust, Daisy struggles to stand up, her once neat suit now indistinguishable under the grime. Sand has found its way into her hair and shoes.

"Sand? Did you connect to somewhere?" Dr. Pym crouches down, grabbing some sand scattered on the ground—some blown from afar, some shaken off Daisy.

Daisy brushes her hair aside, transforming her appearance from beggar to refugee. She responds, exasperated, "I don't know!"

Although she doesn't care much about her appearance, the current state is a bit too messy.

Dr. Pym chuckles, observing her. "Can't you use your vibration to shake off this dust? Should be a basic ability for you, right?"

"Sounds easy, but let me see you do it, and you'll understand the difficulty." Daisy smirks, focusing her ability on her hands and giving them a slight shake. Dr. Pym immediately notices the issue.

Vibration is achievable, but controlling the vibration direction is not. Countless dust particles vibrate chaotically, and after the shaking, they end up in different places—basically just shifting positions.

"Your control over the ability is lacking. Have you ever heard of Magneto? His ability..." He's interrupted by Daisy before he can finish.

"Magneto has had his powers for how many years now? Initially, he could only do clumsy heavy lifting. I've noticed a problem: you must have miscalculated something. You should double-check!"

After speaking, Daisy quickly heads to the bathroom, washing herself from head to toe. She then changes into a lab coat, reemerging.

Poor old Pym, an octogenarian, has been left to clean up the mess. Afterward, he reevaluates the entire calculation process and discovers an error.

It's not exactly his mistake, but rather an error within modern quantum mechanics. He blindly followed previous formulas and did not anticipate a deviation in one of the values.

Daisy ties her hair into a ponytail. She's had quite a stroke of bad luck—she never expected her string vibrations to connect to a location engulfed by a hurricane. Encountering such odds, it can only be chalked up to poor luck.

"When you adjust the frequency to between thirty thousand and fifty thousand, at this point, you need to calculate this formula. It changes based on the distance to your target, its mass, and air resistance..."

Dr. Pym talks and gestures, explaining a lot to Daisy. Some she understands, some she doesn't grasp at all.

This makes her realise that not only does she need to learn quantum physics, but she also needs a high level of mathematical proficiency.

"Start with a trial, right here in this laboratory. See if you can open a ten-meter gap." Dr. Pym sets a challenge for her.

This task isn't difficult. Air resistance, magnetic fields, and various obstacles need not be overly considered. Minor discrepancies can be adjusted with her ability. Daisy silently calculates a value.

Raising her right hand, she releases a vibrational wave into the air.

The faint blue energy strikes the air, behaving like hitting a wall, but it penetrates through with minimal hindrance.

The previously unobservable string is sensed by her again, akin to plucking a rubber band. She calculates the distance and then vibrates a point.

In the gentle oscillation, the string responds, transmitting the vibration to another point.

This phenomenon manifests externally as a faint blue halo in front of Daisy, resembling ripples in water. The central vortex spins faster and faster, eventually forming a clockwise energy vortex two meters high and one meter wide.

Daisy furrows her brows slightly, working hard to control that delicate connection. At a distance of ten meters, another energy vortex appears, rotating in the opposite direction.

Getting her signal, Dr. Pym casually picks up a book and tosses it toward the energy gateway on her side.

The next second, the book flies out undamaged from the other side with a "snap" and lands on the ground.

"Space jump!" Just as the old man is about to toss something else, Daisy plops down on the ground.

"Whew… um, do you have any food here? I feel like I'm about to starve!"

Daisy is exhausted, sweating profusely. Their calculation formula still has issues—the passage isn't stable; it's constantly fluctuating.

This requires Daisy to adjust the vibrational frequency constantly, which means she has to expend a lot of mental energy on calculations.

Though Dr. Pym is in good shape, he's still old and doesn't keep high-energy food in the lab. He can only call his assistant to bring some.

Daisy devours three twelve-inch pizzas. She could continue eating, but it's a bit overwhelming. She then drinks a bowl of meat soup, finally restoring some of her strength.

"Does it consume so much energy?" Dr. Pym, concerned she might starve, finally asks.

"Actually, the energy consumption is moderate, but our algorithms have significant issues—big problems. Right now, most of my physical and mental energy is being spent on these calculations. If we could optimize it, there would be a lot of room for improvement in my ability." Daisy answers while wiping her mouth.
