Chapter 1063: Chapter 526 This is a UFO!_1
The experiment concluded.
The anti-gravity aircraft team remained intensely busy, with every researcher, engineer, including the technical staff at the bottom, feeling filled with vigor as they had completed a heavyweight experiment and achieved significant results.
"That’s definitely historic!"
"This is a milestone!"
"I reckon it’s more significant than the first train or the first airplane. We’ve achieved anti-gravity—anti-gravity!"
"Not just anti-gravity, but gravity shear plane diffusion. Our project even has the core technology. To be honest, I thought it was a joke before the project started..."
"Indeed, like a joke, only it’s real." freeweɓnøvel.com
Many people were discussing while working. Their tasks involved summarizing the experiment and compiling data, recording everything that could be documented.
After a successful experiment, summarizing and recording data was mandatory, yet there were still some technical personnel who completely didn’t understand why they had to do it so meticulously—
Even the installation positions of some screws had to be recorded?
Why? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The technical staff at the bottom levels felt utterly perplexed.
This was Dong Lihua’s directive.
As the project leader, Dong Lihua knew the importance of documenting everything following such a significant experiment; everything included not just the ’core that is within the understanding’ but also peripheral details that often went unnoticed.
Dong Lihua did this out of necessity since several physicists in the team, the highest-level technicians, couldn’t comprehend the principles of anti-gravity. Replicating the anti-gravity experiment device that manufactured a shear plane was likely doable, but the device’s rotation, which diffused the plane, was beyond their understanding of the principle.
They didn’t understand it at all!
Zhao Yi merely instructed on how to conduct the experiment but didn’t explain the entire principle.
No!
He did attempt an explanation, but no one comprehended it clearly.
Unaware of the principle, Dong Lihua felt the next experiment couldn’t possibly proceed. The device’s rotation wasn’t arbitrary; there must be many technicalities involved. Maybe replicating the rotation might have some effect, but the coverage area and anti-gravity effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
That’s why Dong Lihua demanded high standards for the experimental records. Even the installation of a single screw had to be meticulously documented. His thinking was, "It’s fine if you don’t understand the principle, as long as you can replicate it!"
After all, the project focused on technology, needing to produce effects, not research principles.
Actually, Dong Lihua most wished Zhao Yi could stay with the team, to explain more, no, preferably for half a month or a month, so the technical staff could all understand the principle.
Even having just three or four people comprehend it would allow research to progress, instead of merely replicating the experiment.
Alas...
He didn’t have the authority to decide.
While Dong Lihua was working on the experiment records, he reported the news to the senior leadership and received the expected ’tremendous shock.’
"What did you say? The anti-gravity effect spreads to cover the whole device?"
"Is this a technology that could directly enable flying?"
"Really? No way!"
"Academician Zhao’s experiment? That’s too outrageous... cough cough, I got it. Send me a detailed report, I’ll take a look first."
"..."
Dong Lihua hadn’t finished his report before the higher-ups had already received other news, reported by Liu Jiankun, as more than half of the project participants were from the Aviation Group.
Liu Jiankun was also one of the responsible leaders, so he would definitely be among the first to know.
With reports from both Dong Lihua and Liu Jiankun, the message was unquestionably accurate. The responsible senior leaders, concerned about any issues, even went directly to Zhao Yi to inquire.
Zhao Yi gave an affirmative answer.
Once the message was undoubtedly confirmed, the higher-ups acted immediately and decided to organize a second targeted meeting.
The last meeting was about the success of the anti-gravity experiment, where the senior leadership discussed anti-gravity technology and established the anti-gravity aircraft project team.
This technology was shockingly groundbreaking, but upon closer consideration, it seemed like one of those ’projects with a bit of technology that would require ten or twenty years to potentially succeed, or not at all.’
Many people saw it that way; they didn’t expect the anti-gravity aircraft project team to actually develop an anti-gravity aircraft. They only hoped to achieve some technological advancements, even if just trailblazing for the future of science and technology.
Who would have thought that in just a short time, Zhao Yi had conducted an experiment that seemingly developed the core technology of the anti-gravity aircraft?
The success of this experiment also signified that anti-gravity technology could already serve as an independent propulsion system for flight, essentially discovering a completely new method of flight with vast potential for development.
Swiftly.
The meeting was convened.
The attendees were still the senior leaders, military representatives, and representatives from the Aviation Group, as well as the anti-gravity aircraft project team leader and several academicians in mechanics and physics.
Of course, Zhao Yi was also present.
Before the meeting began, its content had been clearly defined. The initial task was to compile a technical report so that all participants could understand the extent to which gravity shear plane diffusion technology had been achieved.
