Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1133: Chapter 557: Loosely Coordinated Outside, Tightly Fought Inside - Part 2

Now they only felt sorrow, James sighed, "Perhaps we all thought wrong, it wasn’t superconducting antigravity, and the photograph wasn’t complete either, for instance, that big guy had propellers, just at the center, completely out of the shot."

Bellegar said, "I too hope that’s the case, but it doesn’t make sense theoretically, having a huge propeller at the center, the wind power is simply not enough to lift such a large device."

"Alright~~"

James felt extremely helpless, they couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.

"Professors Bellegar, James, someone is looking for you!" a shout came from outside.

The two pushed through the door and went out.

A balding, portly man stood outside the door, his gaze scrutinizing but still politely extended his hand, introducing himself, "Bodeklette, special envoy from the Pentagon."

Bellegar glanced away dismissively, he knew the relevant departments would send someone to inquire, but he hadn’t expected the Pentagon.

Representing the military?

James nodded, "We said this morning that someone would surely come, but unfortunately," he shook his head, "our research on antigravity only goes as far as reducing gravity by ten percent, it couldn’t be higher. In other words, that mysterious device, we simply can’t make heads or tails of it, we’re powerless."

"You have no idea at all?" Bodeklette spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Really no idea."

Bellegar nodded, "If we had any information, we’d definitely share it, I believe you’ve also been to see others, right? You wouldn’t come directly to us; we don’t have that much influence."

Bodeklette considered for a moment before asking, "Do you have any guesses about it? Or just share your thoughts, I want to know some and record them. You understand, it’s my job."

"Alright."

Bellegar and James exchanged looks, then said, "We believe it definitely has something to do with antigravity, research in China on this is more in-depth, more thorough, probably because of... Zhao Yi?"

"Zhao Yi?"

James nodded, "Zhao Yi and Professor Li Ning of the University of Alabama published together a theory related to antigravity, explaining the unknown ’electron propulsion’."

"Those are just publicly published works, perhaps Zhao Yi has other research. You know, a world-class genius, he must have more in-depth studies."

Bodeklette pursed his lips tight and muttered, "Zhao Yi... okay, so should I head to Tuscaloosa?"

"Of course."

"Professor Li Ning might know something," James added.

...

Bodeklette reported the information back to the Pentagon, and soon another special envoy located Li Ning.

Following the publication of their experimental research, Li Ning’s fame had grown significantly because he turned down an invitation from Stanford University, the University of Alabama offered him better terms.

Now Li Ning’s laboratory had expanded, and the school had also allocated a large amount of funding to continue his research into superconducting gravity.

When the special envoy found him, Li Ning was still in his laboratory, but his reaction was the same as James’s and Bellegar’s, all astonished by the news in the media, "Such a large device, how could it be possible?"

"Superconducting antigravity? Impossible, to drive such a massive device, there would surely need to be a new type of antigravity method."

He too was certain it was antigravity technology, but he didn’t know how it was achieved.

When the special envoy came to inquire, Li Ning spoke more than Bellegar and James, as he was somewhat afraid of the special envoy.

This was determined by race.

White citizens of M Country enjoyed privileges, they were not afraid of government agency personnel, knowing they wouldn’t be arrested without cause.

Black and Asian people had similar worries, sometimes, the law wasn’t completely fair to them, Asians had more concerns since, even if their families had lived in M Country for generations, they could still be seen as Chinese when walking down the street.

Li Ning had long since obtained his M Country passport, working nearly thirty years at the University of Alabama, but he still didn’t feel entirely secure, being extremely cautious in life and work.

When asked about antigravity and his opinion on the media reports, Li Ning said a lot, but when stating his own view, he still slightly lied, "I think it’s antigravity technology, most likely directly related to superconducting antigravity."

"China has always supported innovative research, for example, they are considering building the world’s largest particle collider; I believe we should step up investment in related R&D..."

He spoke at length, seemingly with M Country’s interest at heart.

In reality, Li Ning believed it to be antigravity, but didn’t think it was superconducting antigravity, because superconducting antigravity had its limits, and as the theory’s originator, he knew that more than anyone. freёwebnovel.com

Still, he mentioned ’superconducting antigravity’ because the superconducting antigravity theory was proposed by him, the theory was perfected, the empirical evidence provided by Zhao Yi, but the greatest contribution came from being the first to propose it.

Superconducting antigravity was his research, and increasing investment in R&D would also benefit him.

Additionally, he didn’t want to ’guide them in the right direction’, living in M Country, Li Ning always felt out of place, no matter how much he tried to fit in, but terms like ’Chinese’ and ’Asian’ pervaded his life.
