Sun Liang’s company had worked in vain for several months, and their financial chain began to experience issues as well.
Such situations were common; starting a business always comes with risks, but for Sun Liang, it was still a blow.
"He didn’t tell me!"
Zhao Yi felt somewhat depressed, and after some thought, he probably figured that he had already helped Sun Liang quite a bit. Sun Liang’s startup capital came from monetizing the medical website, amounting to about one million. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Now, this money couldn’t be recovered, and the company would definitely incur losses this year.
Sun Liang probably felt too embarrassed to mention it.
Xu Chao had partnered with Sun Liang to start the company and had definitely made a corresponding investment, but losing several hundred thousands wasn’t a problem for Xu Chao.
All of a sudden, Zhao Yi asked, "What does that company do?"
"They make products like laser generators and optical equipment, and also have collaborations with several optical laboratories," replied Xu Chao. "But this year’s development isn’t booming, it seems they’ve been losing money all along."
"That has potential!"
After thinking it over, Zhao Yi said, "Go and talk to them about investing, include the order costs from Sun Liang’s company, count it all as investment funds."
"What?" Xu Chao was a bit confused.
Zhao Yi continued, "Mainly, it should be in the name of Star Billion Technology Company, to invest in them, to support their development, and to strive for a large share of the stock. Any future losses will go on my account."
"Alright~~"
Xu Chao was still somewhat puzzled, "When did you become interested in optical equipment?"
"I’ve always been interested."
Zhao Yi didn’t provide any further explanation, but continued to give instructions about the investment.
This counted as an investment too.
The anti-gravity device will surely require beam generating equipment, and it’s impossible for procurement to always go through related laboratories. Mass production in factories is the standard approach. Manufacturers of laser and optical-related equipment are relatively scarce in the market; they are bound to have great potential for future development.
After ending the phone call, Zhao Yi put the matter out of his mind.
The losses of Sun Liang’s company, investing in the corresponding manufacturers, these were all just minor issues, merely a small investment for the future on his part.
However, he soon thought of a related issue. Something Xu Chao mentioned had piqued his interest: "laser cutting equipment."
Laser cutting works by using a focused beam of light to generate high temperatures. The beam’s ability to focus and achieve high temperatures is due to the energy of the photons themselves.
If related to the anti-gravity device, the high-energy photons within the device have a significant amount of energy and continually lose that energy.
So...
Would the amount of energy lost by the beam during the operation of the anti-gravity device affect the anti-gravity effect?
This was an issue he hadn’t paid attention to before.
Although it’s known that photons inside the device get extensively transformed into heat, the emergence of the anti-gravity effect during the mathematical theoretical research process seemed unrelated to the energy of the photons themselves.
This was contradictory.
What could be confirmed now was that during the operation of the anti-gravity device, a portion of the photon’s energy is lost and transformed into a barrier to space, meaning the creation of the spatial barrier itself is energy-consuming.
"The spatial barrier consumes energy, but theoretically, the energy of photons is unrelated to the effect of the spatial barrier that’s produced."
"This is too contradictory!"
"There must be a problem somewhere..."
Zhao Yi deeply furrowed his brow, contemplating carefully.
...
The issue of ’the energy of photons being unrelated to the effect of the spatial barrier produced’ was soon resolved through theoretical analysis.
Zhao Yi’s decryption speed was very fast because the experiment had already proven that the theory had no major issues, and at the very least, the main direction was correct.
In the theory he was researching, the spin of photons produced a spatial blocking effect, and what influenced this effect was the "number of photons."
The energy carried by photons had no direct relation to the spatial blocking effect because a significant part of what affected photon energy was "speed."
Light propagates in straight lines, and the potential energy of straight-line propagation has no direct relation to the spatial blocking effect of the spin.
"That is to say, the energy lost by photons is directly related to the spin created, and a large portion of the potential energy may have been ’wasted’ without any effect."
"The experiment can indeed detect the loss of energy, but the energy may not necessarily be converted into a spatial blocking effect; the most likely scenario is ’disappearing into thin air,’ or rather, it’s absorbed by the affected chaotic space."
This sounded like a violation of the law of conservation of energy, but the emergence of spatial blocking was already beyond the realm of conventional physics.
Modern physics has no real understanding of space whatsoever, so it’s difficult to imagine what effects the absorption of energy by chaotic space could have; this is still something that must be discovered through experimentation.
...
Dong Liping’s team had found a good method in their anti-gravity research; they were preparing to improve the anti-gravity device by manufacturing new optical paths with insulating materials.
"This could greatly reduce the energy loss of the device, definitely improving the effect..."
Dong Liping said confidently, what made him frustrated was that the team had made no breakthroughs in anti-gravity research, not to mention support for the theory, they hadn’t even made any progress on the technical side.
Now, they had.
They had found a suitable insulating material to replace the original pipeline path, which would definitely reduce the thermal energy loss during the operation of the device significantly.
Dong Liping stated, "Didn’t we say last time that a portion of the light energy was lost, converting it into a blocking effect on space? If the device operates with less energy loss, the experimental effect will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced, expanding the area covered by anti-gravity."
If it were simply interpreted, what he said was completely correct.
However, Zhao Yi shook his head, "First, I support the improvement of your device, as the improvement will also help my research to some extent."
"But, I have conducted similar research. During the experiment, the energy loss of the device, whether in terms of the coverage area or the blocking effect, had no impact on the effect of anti-gravity."
"Why?"
Dong Liping was completely lost and insisted, "That’s impossible!"
Zhao Yi pursed his lips and didn’t continue to explain but said, "You can try it."
"Let’s try then!"
Dong Liping refused to accept Zhao Yi’s conclusion; he felt that what Zhao Yi said was a denial of his understanding of physics, nature, and the laws of the universe. Could energy loss being smaller not have any impact on the results?
That was simply impossible!
It seemed pointless for the two to continue the conversation at this point.
But suddenly, Dong Liping put on a smiling face, as if he had forgotten the previous disagreement, and said, "This... Academician Zhao, we still need your guidance on our improvements. I’m worried that there will be problems with the operation of the device after the improvements."
That was the crux of the matter.
Although they had a standard anti-gravity device, some of its principles were not understood, and if everything was made just by copying, they might not even notice small errors. Dong Liping didn’t trust the so-called ’physics experts’ in his team, including Academician Zhou Guifang; none dared to claim a complete understanding of the principle of anti-gravity.
He sometimes complained to acquaintances, "These experts are useless! The higher-ups should send some truly professional, top-notch people!"
Now Dong Liping also had the goal of ’headhunting’; he continued, "Also, Academician Zhao, I heard that your theoretical research group has several people. I spoke with the leadership, and we want to bring someone from your group to guide our team..."
That was the main purpose.
Since the experts in the team were ’unreliable,’ they needed someone who truly understood the principles, and to be certain of understanding the principles of anti-gravity, they had to turn to Zhao Yi’s research group.
"The leadership suggested I ask you, and if you agree, then it’s settled." Dong Liping finished speaking and looked at Zhao Yi expectantly.
Zhao Yi thought it over and nodded, "That’s fine, I can ask for you, but I can’t guarantee if anyone will be willing to go. Such matters definitely can’t be forced, right?" freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Of course! Of course!" Dong Liping quickly agreed.
