"The design of the device!"
Zhao Yi said with certainty, "The current device is still based on the original design; the theory has not been perfected. It can provide anti-gravity effects, but the efficiency is definitely not high, and there is a lot of room for improvement and enhancement."
As he spoke, he looked towards Ruan Wenye, Zhang Qican, and Zhou Guifang, and continued, "It’s like levering an object, you need to apply force at the most suitable position and angle to move a larger object with minimal effort. If there’s a deviation in the point of application or direction of force, you may need much more force or might not be able to lever it at all."
"Inside the current device, the arrangement of the high-energy light beam equipment is definitely not the best choice. In fact, it’s far from it, but to improve it, we must start with the theory, use the theory to analyze the principles, and then combine it with experiments to determine which design is more effective."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, everyone else fell into thought. After a long while, a senior leader said, "Theoretical research still depends on you all!"
"Yes, it’s all up to you!" Dong Lihua immediately agreed, and when he said ’it’s up to you’, he looked towards Zhao Yi, Zhang Qican, and Ruan Wenye, lingering on Ruan Wenye the longest, even conveying an expectant gaze.
Ruan Wenye felt a peculiar sensation all over, having been at the base alongside Zhao Yi since his arrival and only having exchanged a few words with Dong Lihua upon meeting, he wondered why Dong Lihua looked at him that way.
"This guy, couldn’t he be sick? Staring at me like that, what does he mean?"
"Could it be that he’s expecting me to make breakthroughs in theoretical research? Don’t joke! If I could achieve that in theoretical research, why would I have joined the anti-gravity team?"
"Theoretical research should rely on Zhao Yi..."
While everyone was discussing, the commanding officer suddenly shouted, "Signal interruption in Area A!"
The command center suddenly went quiet.
"Signal interruption in Area B!"
"Area C..."
The reports that followed were not finished when people hustled out of the command center, looking towards the experimental device from afar.
Everyone knew what would happen.
Based on previous experimental conclusions, a ’spatial cloak’ had already formed around the experimental device, and it would be completely enveloped by a dark shadow.
Indeed!
As they walked out the door, they could see a huge dark shadow in the distance. Its appearance was somewhat terrifying, as it seemed to draw one’s eyes into it. Some people took a few glances and didn’t want to look any longer, while others were very interested, constantly staring and exclaiming, "I finally understand what it’s like when light is absorbed, and what a black hole looks like!"
"Without surrounding objects, it would be completely invisible, nonexistent!"
Everyone felt extremely shocked.
Meanwhile.
Personnel involved in the experiment were also conducting various detections, discovering that radar signals were completely ineffective; light that shone on it simply disappeared, with no apparent changes on the surface.
"We can determine this time..."
"The spatial cloak can completely absorb light and electromagnetic wave signals without undergoing any changes."
Perimeter detection commenced.
The anti-gravity team had designed various detection methods, one of which involved two unmanned cars: one slowly drove out from the inside, while the other drove in slowly.
The car from the inside emerged quickly, and as soon as it drove out from the shadow, it caused a stir among the onlookers, as many had theorized that the dark shadow could be a ’black hole,’ making them somewhat anxious and fearful. The car’s normal egress reaffirmed that it was not a black hole.
However, the status of the car was not normal; it had stalled as it emerged, continuing to roll forward solely on inertia. It was noticeable that inertia was unaffected, which allowed a simple deduction: the spatial cloak does not affect Newtonian inertia.
At the same time, the car that came out was carrying a dozen or so lives, including poultry, livestock, and two birds. Once the car stopped, staff members immediately went to unload the animals and took them to a laboratory for tests and observation.
At this moment, a senior leader asked Zhao Yi, "Why did the car stall?"
Zhao Yi pointed at the car behind him and said, "The torch we used for testing has also gone out, which is something I specifically requested. It proves that the space shield has the same effect on plasma."
"One is the fuel inside the car being extinguished, the other is the direct cessation of the circuits, either of which would cause the car to stall."
"Fuel extinguished, circuits halted~"
The senior leader muttered to himself, and after a moment, said, "Does that mean, if we were to attack this space shield with missiles now, the missiles would only be able to inflict physical damage?"
Zhao Yi thought carefully and nodded with certainty, "In theory, that’s correct."
The senior leader took a deep breath, realizing that his concern for the space shield had still not been sufficient.
If the space shield really could withstand missile attacks, coupled with it being invisible to radar, it could be said to be unsolvable. Whether it be missiles or other anti-air weapons, the physical damage they could inflict would be minimal. Having thoroughly researched antigravity, he knew the effects of antigravity and understood that the corresponding percentage reduction in gravity’s influence also meant that any flight device harnessing antigravity could be built exceptionally large and have an extremely high payload capacity. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
An air fortress would truly be a ’fortress’ and not merely a flying vehicle.
Given its massive size, it could be equipped with heavy armor, whereas missiles with strong penetration power tend to be ground-attack missiles. Air-to-air missiles mainly rely on their explosiveness. In other words, under the protection of a space shield, a barrage of air-to-air missiles with high coverage and destructive power would be unable to penetrate the defenses of the ’air fortress’.
That would be... invincible!
The senior leader felt his blood boil just thinking about it. Even though the domestic air force had developed rapidly over the last decade, there was still a gap compared to militarily advanced countries when viewed internationally.
This gap was primarily in the sophistication of air force weaponry. While M Country had begun updating its fifth-generation fighters, most of the fighters in service at home were still third-generation, and even three-and-a-half-generation fighters had not become widespread. The gap was indeed significant.
If an ’impregnable’ air fortress could be built, it would at least ensure dominance in the near sea airspace. The country would possess an absolute advantage.
Even facing numerous aircraft carrier groups or swarms of fighter jets would have no effect whatsoever. The combat capabilities of the air fortress and the space shield had already created a qualitative suppression. By then, the impregnable air fortress would become the enemy’s nightmare.
The senior leader suppressed his excitement and deliberately shifted the topic to seriously inquire about the testing process.
The antigravity team carried out meticulous testing. Several methods of testing confirmed that plasma, light, electricity, and magnetism were all unable to penetrate the space shield and that they were completely isolated.
It was not a matter of absorption but pure isolation, just as sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Once sound reaches a vacuum, it disappears entirely.
"This is the power of a spatial energy fault line! Space and energy are not on the same level."
"The occurrence of an energy fault in space makes it impossible for energy to continue its propagation!"
"Energy will dissipate directly..."
Very soon.
On another front, animal testing also revealed findings; passing through the space shield had a certain impact on animals’ internal systems. Perhaps due to the dissipation of some internal energy, the animals appeared lethargic, and three poultry animals died rapidly.
"This is truly terrifying!" Dong Lihua said, his face full of fright, "Thank goodness, when the space shield was activated that day, the car was outside." He was referring to the first experiment.
A car was being driven back and forth, and if it had encountered the activation of the space shield, it could have affected the driver.
"Indeed!"
Zhao Yi also felt a chill, as it was his suggestion at the time. However, he had instructed to drive the car in and then advised the driver not to get into the car, to get out after starting the car.
Back then, Dong Lihua kept saying ’there’s no danger,’ which is why they decided to let the driver go in.
If they had actually encountered the opening of the space shield, the antigravity team might already have lost members.
That would have been a tragedy...
Fortunately!
Many people recalled the situation during the last experiment, immediately feeling a sense of hindsight fear. Thankfully, nothing had gone wrong, otherwise, regret would be meaningless.
