Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1101: Chapter 544: Energy Barrier of Spatial Properties_2

An elderly Academician led a group of technicians who were not specialized in the relevant field, and who mostly could not understand the complex mathematical theories, so what was the point?

Of course, Academician Zhou Guifang’s capabilities were undeniable; it was mainly the issue of specialization. Zhou’s expertise lay in technical issues, not mathematical theories. When he was initially assigned, the higher-ups probably didn’t realize that without understanding mathematical theories, he wouldn’t grasp the technical principles and thus would be unable to provide support in theory or technology.

Anti-gravity is a brand-new technology, without any ’standard components’ as such, unlike computers or mobile phones where you can replace specific parts if you know where the issue lies. People who understand the basic theories and principles are the most important.

At the same time as receiving good news, Dong Lihua also learned that Zhao Yi was preparing to conduct a conventional large-scale experiment using the anti-gravity device. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The reason it was called ’conventional, large-scale,’ referred to a normal activation of the anti-gravity device, which required a long startup time and continuous energy monitoring due to the large amount of heat emitted, making the monitoring work very complicated. A vast amount of data needed to be recorded to estimate the final outcome.

Dong Lihua couldn’t help but complain, "Can’t we wait until the device is improved before conducting the experiment?"

They were in the process of making improvements to the device, essentially replacing the original pipes with heat-insulating materials.

This upgrade would take about a month, depending mainly on the production speed of the new heat-insulating pipelines.

Zhao Yi couldn’t wait that long.

Using new heat-insulating pipes would undoubtedly improve the experiment’s results somewhat, but for him, the difference wouldn’t be too significant. He didn’t want to wait another month; instead, he wanted to conduct the experiment sooner. If there were any discoveries, the device improvements could continue to be adjusted. Otherwise, after improving it, new discoveries might necessitate further changes.

Zhao Yi directly asked Dong Lihua to file an experimental application, and Dong promptly wrote the relevant report and prepared for the new experiment.

This was also a source of frustration for Dong Lihua.

Although he was the team leader of the anti-gravity aircraft project, Zhao Yi was the one with real authority, as Zhao was the ’special expert’ sent by the higher authorities. Representing the senior leadership, he was effectively the boss of the anti-gravity aircraft team.

In fact, Dong Lihua didn’t dislike Zhao Yi, and he even looked forward to Zhao’s experiments. He just hoped that the team itself could achieve some technical improvements or make some discoveries during the experiment, and not rely solely on Zhao. Otherwise, what would be the point of having a team leader for the anti-gravity aircraft if anyone could take on the role? He hoped to achieve results.

In the future, when discussing the contribution to anti-gravity technology, it would all be about Zhao Yi, Zhao’s theory group, and as the team leader, he wouldn’t be able to claim any part of the contributions. That would be quite embarrassing indeed. freewēbnoveℓ.com

All Dong Lihua could do now was to look forward to Ruan Wenye, "Zhao’s theoretical group is definitely going to be extraordinary. Ruan Wenye is the team leader of the Science Academy’s particle collider group, definitely top-tier..."

...

The experiment Zhao Yi was going to conduct was also just a ’conventional large-scale’ one, which required setting up some monitoring equipment before it could begin.

Five days later.

Everything was ready, and Zhao Yi arrived at the anti-gravity experiment base with Zhang Qican, sitting down in the command center on the outskirts.

The experiment was about to start.

Dong Lihua asked with curiosity, "Academician Zhao, what is the purpose of this test?"

"Observation."

"Observation?"

Zhao Yi said, "Yes, observation. Oh, and during the experiment, you also need to pay attention to protection. Not just the usual precautions, but also be ready for a quick evacuation because when it comes to space research, anything is possible. Our understanding of space is very limited, and there might be dangers that conventional safety measures can’t handle."

"Right, we are prepared," Dong Lihua said. "We’ve got two trucks, several military vehicles on standby, and a helicopter. Last time the leaders came by, they ordered us to have a helicopter ready at all times during the experiment to ensure the safety of personnel."

Zhao Yi nodded, "The outcome of this experiment is uncertain; I just want to confirm where the disappearing energy goes."

"Isn’t it converted into spatial barriers?" Dong Lihua had studied the theory, reading up on the latest developments each time. He didn’t understand complex mathematics, but he had a general idea.

"Not entirely, I would say a large part isn’t. I believe it’s absorbed by space. But as for what effect the absorption of energy by space would produce, I’m not certain, which is why I brought up safety concerns," Zhao Yi elaborated carefully.

"That—"

Upon hearing this, Dong Lihua suddenly became worried. He didn’t doubt Zhao Yi at all; if Zhao said the energy was absorbed by space, it must have been absorbed.

Energy absorbed by space...

It wouldn’t result in a massive explosion, would it?

The more Dong Lihua thought about it, the more worried he became, and he blurted out, "What if we postpone the experiment? Maybe retreat a bit further away..."

"Hmm... No!"

Zhao Yi was also very concerned about safety, but he could always use the "Law of Cause and Effect" to assess if there was any immediate danger to himself.

If there were any danger, he would evacuate immediately, but retreating further away would not meet the required conditions to obtain meaningful experimental results.

After weighing the options, he still decided to stay.

Analyzing the ’energy absorbed by space’ issue was extremely important; it had to be understood up close.
