Chapter 1108: Chapter 547: Is This Blatantly Squandering Funds?_2

The higher-ups also prepared a large amount of funding, with five billion allocated initially just for the experiment.

That was merely for theoretical research and anti-gravity experimentation, not including the design and construction of the air fortress or the research on the propulsion system.

Currently, the Aviation Group, the Nuclear Energy Research Institute, the High Energy Institute, and the military are involved. The overall coordination for the air fortress design and construction will definitely be arranged subsequently, with even more substantial funding to be allocated.

It is said...

The funding prepared for the second domestic aircraft carrier was temporarily requisitioned.

Some naval officials responsible for the project came to the capital to inquire and the response they received was, "The construction of the second aircraft carrier is postponed indefinitely..."

This response was certainly unexpected.

The senior leadership could not disclose the news to the discontented navy, so the naval officials could only stay puzzled, while the large amount of funding was being diverted to the anti-gravity team and related research. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Zhao Yi’s theoretical group received a significant share of the funds. He understood that there were initially five billion allocated as ’reserve’ funds, in case of any unforeseen experimental demands.

The highest-level meeting of the senior leadership had already confirmed the current direction of research.

One area was theoretical research.

Zhao Yi’s theoretical group was the most valued, and any requirements from the participants of the theoretical group would be met as much as possible.

The second was the experiments related to anti-gravity and the space shield by the anti-gravity team.

This part would consume a significant amount of funding, with plans to build more than three anti-gravity devices in the next phase and to replace the pipeline materials with the highest performing high-energy beams.

At the same time, experiments to make the device float as a whole began.

This was laying the foundation for building the air fortress.

Last was the power unit managed by the Nuclear Energy Research Institute; the higher-ups strongly supported the research on nuclear reactors and also planned to combine the reactor with gravity to carry out various experiments.

Another line of research at the Nuclear Energy Research Institute was the nuclear fusion reaction device.

Everyone believed nuclear fusion was the future. Under an anti-gravity environment, the control of nuclear fusion became much easier, and some even proposed using the space shield to control fusion. However, the latter still needed theoretical support, which the Nuclear Energy Research Institute could not provide.

But regardless, nuclear fusion research must continue. It just wasn’t getting as much support because, without a solid theory, nuclear fusion could, for the moment, only be regarded as ’future’ technology. It was virtually impossible to achieve controllable nuclear fusion in the short term.

The theoretical foundation for normal fission reactors was already sufficient.

The primary issue that prevented the creation of stable high-power, highly-enriched reactors was control. Chen Zeshu assured at the meeting that in an anti-gravity environment, nuclear reactions were easier to control. There were no technical obstacles to designing and constructing high-power, highly-enriched reactors.

The senior leadership, the anti-gravity team, and other participants all looked forward with great anticipation to the results from Chen Zeshu’s team in the research on nuclear propulsion.

And the most crucial theoretical research relied on Zhao Yi’s theoretical group.

That day, Ruan Wenye also came to Zhao Yi’s villa to engage in theoretical research with them.

When Ruan Wenye arrived, his face was marked by frustration. He decided to join the anti-gravity team because he felt that engaging in technical work could showcase his abilities, while related theoretical research was too complicated and not suitable for him.

Now he had come anyway.

Ruan Wenye was assigned here. He was responsible for two tasks: one was to conduct theoretical research with Zhao Yi’s group.

The other was to communicate with the anti-gravity team regarding any theoretical results or experimental requirements, all of which he was in charge of.

Ruan Wenye spoke of his assignments with a sense of gloom, knowing that he couldn’t keep up with the pace of theory. However, others were unaware of this—they all thought highly of Ruan Wenye and felt it was somewhat a waste to have him just ’waiting’ in the anti-gravity group.

That’s what the senior leadership thought, so he was directly dispatched here.

"I really..."

"Didn’t want to come! Can’t escape or hide..." Ruan Wenye said with a sigh. He would never express this to others, but for Huang Zhong, Zhang Qican, and Zhao Yi it didn’t matter much. In the course of research together, each person’s capabilities were clearly evident.

Zhao Yi chuckled, "Don’t be discouraged, Brother Ruan. Your help will be very valuable here."

He assigned tasks to everyone.

The current broad direction of the research was to use the experimental data to form a series of conditions for deducing the relationship between photon spin and space. But the conditions were still insufficient, and everyone had to work together to refine them.

Their work also involved deducing mathematical content based on the experimental results.

They knew direct deduction of the relationship was impossible; they only needed some progress or some correct ideas, which could then form the necessary conditions.

Zhao Yi also participated, as he needed to study carefully to gradually perfect the theoretical logic before finally summarizing and deducing the relationship between photon spin and space.

"This research process will require a lot of time; it won’t be finished in just a few days. So, everyone, don’t be too anxious..."

Zhao Yi said to the others. freeweɓnøvel.com

Ruan Wenye joked, "If it’s up to me, it will never be concluded in this lifetime. But Zhao Yi, I trust you."

After saying this, he looked down at the complex expressions in his hands, complex as astronomical calculations, feeling like his head was about to explode.
