The experiment concluded.
The anti-gravity team was still busy; they had to perform inspections on equipment, test experimental devices, record data from the tests, and summarize the findings.
And so on.
These testing activities could provide a comprehensive understanding of the spatial shield.
From the degree of emphasis placed on data, one could tell that the interests of the anti-gravity team and Zhao Yi were not the same.
The anti-gravity team was more concerned about the performance of the spatial shield, among other things.
Zhao Yi wasn’t too concerned about the spatial shield’s performance; instead, he focused on the formation process and issues with the arrangement of internal devices and high-energy beams.
This is where their paths diverged.
While the anti-gravity team prioritized technical aspects, Zhao Yi needed to study the shield’s formation process to deduce the relationship between photon spin and space by combining this with existing theories.
Zhao Yi didn’t need to know the specific capabilities of the spatial shield; what interested him was the time it took to form the shield, the precise energy measurement data, and so forth.
All of these were relevant factors.
Once the time had elapsed, the senior leadership gathered everyone for a summary meeting before dispersing.
Actually, only the senior leaders and Zhao Yi’s group left; the rest remained at the main base.
Zhao Yi, along with Zhang Qican, returned to Yanhua University. Without a day’s rest, they took a military vehicle to an apartment in the suburbs because the high command, prioritizing secrecy, had decided that the theoretical group should conduct research together in a suitable location.
In fact, among the theoretical group, it was Huang Zhong and Zhang Qican who needed to be careful about confidentiality; the other two were from the High Energy Institute.
After careful consideration, Zhao Yi decided on a suburban villa. Given the need for secrecy, security would undoubtedly be increased, making it inappropriate to stay on campus.
It was evident that the senior leaders placed great importance on Zhao Yi’s theoretical group.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the villa, there were already two armed police teams on site, as well as a military colonel from the armed forces. The following day, security was further strengthened with the arrival of a tank, two armored vehicles, and a helicopter on standby.
This show of force was worrying to Zhao Yi—the tighter the security, the greater the danger. Fortunately, the outside world had not yet learned of the anti-gravity research, and domestic public order, especially in the capital, was relatively safe.
Additionally, Zhao Yi discovered a benefit of the system’s ability: the "Law of Cause and Effect" could help predict security issues. Simply asking questions would yield accurate answers, providing him with considerable peace of mind.
Zhao Yi didn’t come alone; he brought Qian Hong with him.
Soon Lin Xiaoqing also arrived.
Because the research was extremely important and sensitive, Lin Xiaoqing, as Zhao Yi’s wife, also suffered disruptions to her life. She could no longer continue attending her university as normal. Fortunately, with the help of her superiors and owing to her excellent academic record, Political and Legal University decided to award her a graduate diploma six months early.
Despite receiving her diploma early, Lin Xiaoqing still felt somewhat melancholic. She hadn’t been studying just for a certificate but also hoped to carve out her own career.
For instance, surpassing her father, Lin Xudong, at an administrative level and ideally becoming his superior was a childhood dream of hers—to give orders directly to him. freeweɓnovel.cøm
That was her childhood dream.
At bedtime, Lin Xiaoqing continually voiced her grievances. Zhao Yi hastened to console her, "It’s okay; there will be opportunities. You studied law and can take on an administrative clerical job. Take it slow."
Lin Xiaoqing pouted and said, "I don’t even have the chance to work right now."
"It’ll get better soon," Zhao Yi said.
His life had indeed been impacted—it was difficult to lead a normal life anymore.
If Lin Xiaoqing wanted to work normally, unless she lived completely apart from him, either in the military or another confidential entity, it would be difficult through regular channels. Mainly because she too was under protection; a person well-protected by the military would have a hard time finding ordinary employment. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Actually, Lin Xiaoqing was just venting; she still felt proud of Zhao Yi, and the impact on her life was unavoidable.
After a long silence, she abruptly turned over, pinned Zhao Yi down, and looking intently at his cheek, she said, "Since it’s impossible to work normally, let’s have a child instead."
"—?"
Zhao Yi was taken aback, as if he were Sun Wukong subdued by the Bodhisattva Guanyin.
...
Zhao Yi’s villa had become the base of operations for the theoretical group.
Zhang Qican had come along as well.
Being single, he didn’t require much—just a room—which was quickly arranged. Soon, Huang Zhong also planned to arrive.
Huang Zhong came with his wife, followed by specialists from the aircraft carrier group and the High Energy Institute. Some were single, while others brought their families.
Fortunately, they didn’t all stay at Zhao Yi’s; some were placed in adjacent houses. Only a few people from Zhao Yi’s group lived together.
Upon arrival, Huang Zhong said with a wry smile, "I just wanted to stay at the university, but now it seems impossible. Academician Zhao, your research is advancing so rapidly; it’s hard to keep up."
"I only learned about the spatial shield after arriving here; I really want to see it with my own eyes," he said.
Zhao Yi smiled.
Huang Zhong was an important member of the theoretical group, on par with Zhang Qican. He could be termed as a stalwart of the group; it was imperative for him to come and participate in the research.
After the discovery of the spatial shield, the senior leadership had placed even greater emphasis on the research, reflecting the highest level of priority.
Any domestic research, engineering, or manufacturing had to make way for the anti-gravity research.
