Tom was capable of building more proton decay detectors.
With each proton decay detector requiring approximately 110,000 clones for daily maintenance and research calculations, Tom could currently spare about 300 million clones for the construction and research of more proton decay detectors, after accounting for other research areas and the maintenance of the industrial system.
This meant approximately 2,700 proton decay detectors.
In this way, even if the proton's lifespan truly was 10^42 years, Tom could still genuinely detect this phenomenon by increasing the number of detectors.
However, Tom never forgot one point.
That was, he possessed industrial capabilities far exceeding those of an ordinary Electroweak Civilization.
At the same time, it was certain that a Strong Nuclear Civilization that had unified the Strong Nuclear Force truly existed in the universe.
