Chapter 1062: Chapter 525 Anti-Gravity Range Expansion Effect_2
The staff in the rear were stunned by the scene before them; they hadn’t expected Dong Lihua to suddenly jump up, let alone jump so high. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Dong Lihua, this guy, has some serious athletic genes... How can he jump that high?!"
That was the first reaction of the personnel at the rear.
Then they realized the issue; even with exceptional athletic genes, it’s not possible to jump over half a meter high while wearing a protective suit, even a high jump world champion would find it difficult.
"Is it the effect of anti-gravity?"
This speculation surprised them even more, and it was only then that they realized that Dong Lihua’s predicament might be somewhat dire, but due to noise interference from the rear, they couldn’t hear Dong Lihua’s screams clearly and were unsure of the exact situation.
By the time Dong Lihua landed in a face-plant, the staff pulled on the traction rope, which roughly means to ask Dong Lihua if he wanted to be pulled over with the rope.
Since Dong Lihua was already half-kneeling on the ground, a tug on his waist from behind turned him into a prone position.
The personnel at the back were terrified and pulled on the traction rope with force.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yi rushed over with a few people, who also became aware of the reduced gravity, experiencing this odd sensation.
As Zhao Yi passed Dong Lihua, he crouched down and patted his shoulder, "You okay?"
Dong Lihua had protective gear, so falling down wasn’t much of an issue; the key was that the personnel at the back were tugging on the rope, dragging him backward while he was face down, which was hardly a graceful sight.
Angered, he simply yanked off his protective helmet and yelled back, "Stop pulling! Stop pulling! What are you doing!"
His tone was full of embarrassment and annoyance.
Now, Dong Lihua hadn’t realized that it was just the effect of anti-gravity that made him feel lighter, rather than any actual danger. Seeing Zhao Yi approaching with a safety helmet and no one else seeming in trouble, he appeared extremely embarrassed and disheveled.
"Stop pulling!"
"I just didn’t react at first! I’m fine!" Dong Lihua emphasized several times before he finally got back on his feet, experiencing the wonderful sensation of reduced gravity, his face showing astonishment once again.
"Whew~"
"Hmm~"
"The gravity has really decreased!"
"I feel like I could jump five meters high now! This sensation is so amazing!"
Several people around him exclaimed in surprise.
When Dong Lihua heard the talk of ’jumping several meters,’ he felt very uncomfortable in all his protective gear and wanted to take it off immediately, but that wasn’t easy to do; he could only continue wearing it with frustration and said in amazement to Zhao Yi, "Academician Zhao? Is this your experiment? It’s incredible!"
"We’re underneath the device, and I remember photon anti-gravity mentioning that gravity would decrease above the device..."
"It’s not about above or below, in essence, space has no up or down," Zhao Yi explained briefly, "The reason we say gravity decreases above is because Earth is below. The anti-gravity device is just creating a plane that isolates gravitational waves."
He continued to discuss the current situation, "My experiment was to make the device rotate as a whole, and now it seems, the results are quite clear."
"What result?" Dong Lihua asked before realizing he had asked a rather foolish question.
Zhao Yi said, "The anti-gravity plane has spread. It’s not just a lateral, planar expansion, but a vertical, spatial expansion too. However, the specific effects need to be tested in detail."
"Right."
Dong Lihua seemed to understand as he nodded, ready to continue forward.
Zhao Yi grabbed him and also stopped the others, "Don’t go any further, safety first. Let’s go back to the command center and conduct some tests with control."
"Yes, safety is important!"
"Let’s listen to Academician Zhao, everyone go back!"
"Alright."
...
The command center was already abuzz with excitement; everyone was discussing the recent event and the anti-gravity effect beneath the experiment device.
They were genuinely shaken.
Some had been involved in the photon anti-gravity experiment, which made their shock a bit less intense; but for most who had only heard of or knew about the photon anti-gravity experiment in passing, witnessing the effect of anti-gravity firsthand was tremendously shocking.
The current anti-gravity effect was different from before; its influence had already covered the underside of the device. Most people only needed to think briefly to realize the significance of an increased range of anti-gravity coverage.
Originally, with just the anti-gravity plane, anti-gravity devices could only be installed on the ground or other large, ground-adjacent structures.
Now...
If even the device itself was enveloped, could it possibly take flight directly?
"So, are you saying we’ve already mastered the core technology for this anti-gravity flyer project?"
"Yes, it could take off right now!"
"However, to find out just how effective it really is, we need to carefully measure it. Haven’t you noticed? When Academician Zhao and the others went past, they didn’t float up; it’s definitely not complete weightlessness."
"Of course!"
Once Zhao Yi and the others returned to the command center, they officially began the task of measurement.
The experimental staff tested the anti-gravity effect in various ways, collected a massive amount of data, and only then, with some reluctance, did they allow the anti-gravity device to slowly cease operation.
Eventually, the data was reported upwards.
All the data summarized together roughly indicated that right above the anti-gravity device, the effect could reach about forty-seven percent, which was somewhat higher than photon anti-gravity.
Right below, the effect was slightly weaker, with only about thirty percent.
At the outer edge of the device, the effect was even poorer. It could be said to diminish steadily, with the range of influence being about twenty meters or so.
"This must have something to do with the rotation speed."
Looking at the experimental data, Zhao Yi pondered and said, "Normally, the faster the rotation speed, the larger the coverage area should be."
This was easy to understand.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately grasped the concept, much like when something rotating sprays outwards—the faster it spins, the further it sprays and of course, the larger the area it covers.
He continued, "However, we still need to perform some calculations to determine the specific coverage area."
"Calculations?"
"Isn’t it measurement?"
"How can we calculate it?"
The physicists on the project team asked out of reflex confusion, then they quickly realized. Photon anti-gravity was developed by Zhao Yi, and it was initially the theories that led to the design of the anti-gravity device.
It was the same now.
Were the rotation experiments conducted by Zhao Yi because the theory could not be deduced, and thus they needed experimental data to supplement it?
Now that they had experimental data, the theories should be perfected, right?
"But..."
"How complex is that theory, that mathematical logic? Just photon anti-gravity alone is not yet fully understood, and to consider the spread effect of anti-gravity..."
"Seems like I’m not cut out for physics research!"
"I’m not cut out for it either!"
"I’m even less suitable!"
Several physicists began to doubt their own professional abilities.
The photon anti-gravity studied by Zhao Yi was already beyond comprehension, yet the experiments had proven its correctness.
But how did he come up with it?
This was simply magical!
Such high-level physics was difficult enough to fathom, and they were amazed only at the thought of understanding it, let alone devising it from scratch. They could only exclaim in their hearts, "Academician Zhao, it’s Academician Zhao indeed!"
"No wonder the internet says he is God Zhao, the great God Zhao!"
"This is what you call a true deity!"
"We are just mere mortals..."
...
After the experiment concluded, Zhao Yi immediately returned to Yanhua University. All along the way, he pondered the results of the experiment, comparing them with his previous theoretical structure, sensing the mathematical logic framework in his mind becoming more and more complete.
The rotational spreading effect of the device on the anti-gravity effect certainly has great technical and practical value, but it is only a part of anti-gravity research and just the beginning of space research.
Zhao Yi hoped to complete the decoding of the divine code, that is, the mathematical analysis of space.
Of course.
If the process of research could bring about a brand new, high-end technology, even one that could change the world, that would definitely be a positive influence.
Zhao Yi also anticipated what role and changes the latest research discoveries could bring.
