The tornado was accidental. frёewebηovel.cѳm
This was something that hadn’t been anticipated.
The control center, located underground where it wouldn’t be affected, relied on screens to observe the experimental equipment. Initially, airflow around the device was detected, indicating the experiment’s success. The staff in the control room cheered before they could completely understand the implications, and didn’t realize it would turn into a tornado. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
It wasn’t until the tornado grew larger that the control center recognized the problem and immediately shut off the high-energy beam, causing the tornado to gradually subside.
Conditions for forming a tornado didn’t exist within dozens of kilometers around the experimental apparatus, as the area wasn’t a plain—it was obstructed by many high mountains, rich in number, and even if a tornado did form, it couldn’t have spread very far.
The tornado wasn’t part of the plan, nor was it of any concern.
After all the equipment was shut down, the control center staff began to report test data, somewhat regretfully acknowledging that because the duration was not long, the data collected was not very accurate.
About fifteen minutes later, results came in: anti-gravity effects were roughly estimated to be between thirty and forty percent.
The reason for the ten-point deviation was due to the differing strengths of anti-gravity effects produced by various parts of the device, compounded by the influence of the tornado, which made the test data less accurate.
But no matter what, the most important thing was that the experiment was successful, and indeed very successful—more so than planned.
When Zhao Yi heard the data reported by the testing personnel, his expression was very calm, showing none of the excitement one might imagine.
Because he had known all along.
He had divined the outcome from the very beginning of the experiment, but the range he determined was even greater—
Zero to thirty-eight percent.
The accuracy lay in the peak value of thirty-eight percent because the data ranged from zero at the edge to a maximum anti-gravity effect of thirty-eight percent, resulting in such a figure.
Thirty-eight percent, that was astounding!
Although Zhao Yi appeared indifferent, there was in fact some excitement in his heart. What mattered most to him was the success of the experiment, not the specifics of how good the anti-gravity effect was; the quality of the anti-gravity effect was a secondary consideration.
After the experiment concluded, Zhao Yi shut himself away in his studio, analyzing the arrangement of the high-energy beam equipment, the experimental data, and comparing it with the principles of photon anti-gravity and the codes of the divine. He also gained a deeper understanding of the latter two.
This was the greatest achievement.
While everyone else was thrilled with the success of the photon anti-gravity experiment, to Zhao Yi, it was merely a step forward in the research process.
His main area of research was the code of the divine, that is, the analysis of space.
The difficulty of analyzing space was immense, certainly representing a brand-new field of study where every advance could yield unimaginable technological progress.
The research into the code of the divine was still in its early stages, with much room for further exploration.
...
The control center.
Everyone was engaged in animated discussions; cheers and excitement were the themes of the moment.
Minister Zheng and his entourage had returned, and he immediately sought out Zhao Yi to inquire, "What just happened? A tornado appeared? Was this experiment about creating a tornado control device?"
Zhao Yi said, "That was just an accident, not part of the plan."
"Can it be controlled?"
Minister Zheng asked in detail, meaning whether the tornado could be controlled.
Zhao Yi slightly twisted his mouth and said, "It’s hard to control. That was an accident. We knew there would be airflow, just didn’t expect it to be so significant. Our experiment did not consider controlling the tornado, and it wouldn’t really make sense to."
Minister Zheng listened and nodded, then continued to ask, "What specifically caused it?"
That was simple.
Zhao Yi didn’t respond directly, but left the ’opportunity’ for Zhang Qican beside him. Zhang Qican stepped forward to explain, "The anti-gravity device caused the air in the center to experience reduced gravity, and naturally it would rise, with surrounding air rushing in to fill the space."
"Because the experimental setup was imperfect, some areas had stronger anti-gravity effects than others, leading to variations. The unequal air currents from all sides resulted in the formation of the tornado."
Zhao Yi added, "This was an oversight we hadn’t considered before the experiment, a planning mistake."
Indeed, it was a minor oversight that had no major impact because, aside from being surrounded by mountains on three sides, no one knew whether the experiment would be successful or not before it began. Therefore, naturally, no consideration was given to the formation of a tornado.
If the anti-gravity effect had not been so strong, a large-scale tornado would not have formed.
The principle behind the formation of a tornado is quite simple to understand once explained.
Minister Zheng also came to understand and was immediately astonished. Realizing the impact of the successful experiment, he excitedly said, "Congratulations on your success!"
"This is a major success, one that could change the world!"
When one considers the implications of the anti-gravity experiment carefully, saying it could impact the world is no exaggeration. Anti-gravity technology typically appears only in movies; it does not exist in reality.
Everyone would think that anti-gravity is a technology of the future, not something within modern humans’ grasp.
Now, with the experiment’s success, it meant that anti-gravity technology had been mastered. Contemplating this was astonishing—they had managed to use technology to conquer gravity.
Wasn’t this akin to conquering nature, defeating Earth’s gravity?
