Chapter 1060: 524
Along the way,
he also kept explaining the theory of photon anti-gravity to others.
Though he did not reveal the code of the gods, he explained almost all the basic external mathematical theories, finally allowing many physicists in the project team to understand the principles of photon anti-gravity and to offer suggestions for the design of the device, instead of simply ’aping’.
That day, the device was completed.
Zhao Yi carefully checked it and found only some minor issues that were difficult to correct, which did not significantly impact the experiment. He then went to consult with Dong Lihua and decided to proceed with the experiment immediately.
Zhao Yi couldn’t wait, and Dong Lihua was even more eager.
Dong Lihua was in charge of the photon anti-gravity project and was extremely excited. The anti-gravity project sounded very impressive.
Although he knew the photon anti-gravity experiment had succeeded, it was after all less satisfying than witnessing it himself. Moreover, seeing a device that he had built with his own hands succeed made him all the more eager.
Everyone else in the anti-gravity project team was also very eager for the first experiment.
Some technicians and engineers had been working continuously for seven or eight hours. When they heard the trial was about to start, they became invigorated again and prepared for over two hours.
At nine o’clock in the evening.
Zhao Yi and Dong Lihua stood together in the command center and announced the official start of the experiment.
The initial step was to repeat the photon anti-gravity experiment, which meant turning on all the high-energy beam equipment inside and observing the situation of balloons, flags, and other symbolic experimental objects above.
Very quickly,
the balloons on the screen began to rotate and rise, signifying the success of the experiment.
The people in the command center cheered, "We succeeded, it’s really anti-gravity, the balloon went straight up!"
"I’d just heard about it, never thought it would actually work!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"It’s miraculous!"
"Look at the flags inside; they’re all unfurled, seems like there’s a whirlwind? It wouldn’t create a tornado, right? Are there protective measures...?"
"We have mountains to block it; it won’t whip up."
In the midst of cheering from the laboratory, Zhao Yi’s expression didn’t change. He simply stared at the device on the screen and suddenly said, "Prepare for the next experiment, get the device spinning."
"Activate the main rotor!"
After a command was issued, the people in the laboratory realized that they had only completed the initial experiment and the experiment Academician Zhao wanted to conduct had not yet begun.
Dong Lihua’s mood changed as well, he immediately ordered, "Hurry up, prepare for the next step, activate the main rotor!"
Very soon,
the rotor beneath the device was activated. Since the device was extremely heavy, the initial spin rate was very slow, but gradually it sped up, looking a bit like a ’merry-go-round,’ albeit slower.
Zhao Yi frowned and said, "Increase the power!"
After increasing the power, the speed of rotation visibly quickened.
"Increase~"
"Increase it more!"
"Keep going! Don’t stop! Keep increasing the power, make it spin faster!"
Only Zhao Yi’s voice remained in the command center, constantly demanding that the power be increased, and the speed of the device’s rotation be accelerated.
Everyone else watched anxiously.
This heavy anti-gravity device, driven by the rotor, kept spinning, looking as if it might break at any moment, and yet the rotation speed kept increasing, even reaching one revolution every two seconds.
"The speed is too fast, Academician Zhao!" Dong Lihua became anxious, feeling that the device would be flung off at any moment.
An engineer approached and said, "Academician Zhao, speeding up further might cause problems."
"I know,"
Zhao Yi nodded, frowned, and then said, "Speed it up a bit more, and hold it there."
He continued to watch the screen.
The rotation speed of the device was further increased, making it a nerve-wracking sight, and everyone else wanted to ask for a halt, continually glancing at Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi, however, continued to watch calmly, until at a certain moment his eyebrows relaxed, then a smile appeared on his face, even showing some excitement.
Dong Lihua noticed this detail and immediately asked, "Academician Zhao, have you made a discovery?"
"I’ve made a discovery in my experiment,"
"What discovery?"
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and then said, "If you now go down below the device, no need to go inside, just get a bit closer... you’ll know what I mean. Right, make sure to wear protective gear."
"Get closer?"
Dong Lihua, looking at the spinning device on the screen, couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking, "Get close to that spinning behemoth?"
"Academician Zhao... you’re not setting me up, are you?"
