"Indeed, we can't afford to rest on our laurels now, Your Excellency!" Zu Chongzhi chimed in in an excited voice. "Scientific research is a very unpredictable thing, and if the Prometheus plan also somehow stumbles upon the proton Yin rune, then we still won't know what the final outcome is going to be!"

Qin Ye didn't reply.

In reality, he had been constantly monitoring the progress of the Prometheus plan. During the past two years, they had also been progressing extremely quickly, having already extracted the electron Yin rune from voidsilver as well. However, according to last month's report, their research into proton Yin runes had only reached the fourth layer.

Qin Ye could even guess the opposition's thought process. The electron Yin rune was situated in the fifth layer, which would lead them to believe that the corresponding proton Yin rune would be in the same layer or a nearby one. Thus, they were searching through the fifth layer.

However, the proton Yin rune wasn't in the fourth layer. Instead, it was in the third one.

Upon failing to discover the proton Yin rune in the fifth layer, they would perhaps go to the fourth layer or the sixth layer.

Even if their search went to the third layer, there was definitely no way that they would anticipate that this incredible energy stemmed from string theory!

Particle theory was used when it came to the structure of matter in the mortal realm. Everything was made up of particles such as electrons and protons, but...
