Chapter 1164: Chapter 568: Anti-Gravity Device Exhibition_2
Zhao Yi was the most indifferent among them; he simply tried to jump once and then stood quietly to one side. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to try; as the host, he had to appear composed.
Anyway...
There would be plenty of opportunities in the future!
As it turned out, when adults really started to play, it was even harder to get through to them than children. The safety officer shouted for quite some time to no avail; few were listening, as they continued to immerse themselves in ’fun.’ Eventually, other staff members had to persuade them in turn, notifying everyone that time was almost up before they finally calmed down.
Then, it was time to leave.
The anti-gravity device was activated now simply to provide a demonstration, to give them a personal experience, not to let them play around at will. Just knowing the effects of the anti-gravity device was enough.
Guided by the staff, they had to leave reluctantly, full of reluctance as they exited the anti-gravity device.
"How does it feel?"
"What’s it like inside? Is it really anti-gravity? Does it cause weightlessness?"
When a group of people came out, many outside immediately started asking questions. The first batch who went in talked excitedly, "It’s amazing! It feels unlike anything I’ve experienced before."
"Right now, I feel like every cell in my body is still trembling. I was completely weightless just now. With this equipment, I nearly jumped ten meters high!"
"Well, I’m totally conquered by it. I have to buy an anti-gravity device this time, even if just for myself. It’s way cooler than a yacht."
"I’ve decided to buy one as well, no matter the cost. I must buy it!"
Many in attendance were representatives of major corporations; they were already wealthy entrepreneurs. After experiencing the anti-gravity device once, they all thought that if they couldn’t negotiate patent licensing, they would still secure a device to take back.
If they could have weightless experiences for their guests at their own estates... ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
That sounded impressive!
Luxury yachts and private airplanes were nothing compared to the anti-gravity device!
Zhao Yi took off his protective gear and stood by, listening quietly. He soon exchanged glances with Liu Jiankun, conveying a message that was almost, "Have we set our prices too low?"
Liu Jiankun nodded slightly and communicated with his eyes, "Let’s discuss the pricing later."
...
Wave after wave of people went in, and each wave coming out gave glowing reviews.
Over a hundred people had come to attend the anti-gravity device demonstration. It took seven entries and lasted one and a half hours before concluding.
Then, it was time to demonstrate the hovering capability of the anti-gravity device.
Since the hovering of the anti-gravity device could only be controlled from the center and also involved some confidential aspects, they could no longer allow people inside and could only watch from a distance.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the anti-gravity device activated its high-power mode. The exterior disc began to spin faster, and after about half a minute, it started to rise slowly, eliciting a series of exclamations--
"It’s lifting off!"
"It’s floating! It’s really floating!"
"My God, it’s so slow!"
"It’s very stable!"
The exclamations weren’t complaints about the slow speed; a slow and stable ascent actually demonstrated the sophistication of the technology.
High-technology items, like maglev, could also cause devices to hover, and they too are quite slow, but the devices capable of sustaining levitation tend to be very small.
For example, hover motorcycles.
Whereas something as large as the anti-gravity device slowly rising imparted a strong visual impact.
Those in attendance had all seen photos of the ’mysterious flying device’ circulated in the media, but photos were nothing like seeing it up close. They could clearly see the cyclone caused by the rising air, as if the wind was lifting the device. The flames spraying from the stabilizing thrusters below made for captivating viewing, their subtlety adding to the sense of high technology.
Closer inspection also revealed much more. Some people made simple estimates and deduced some details, "Most of the upward force seems to come from the airflow thrust, with the thrusters playing almost solely a balancing role."
"In other words, it essentially relies on creating wind pressure to take off!"
"So speeding up would be easy. There are no technical difficulties, but it’s unclear whether accelerating takeoff would affect the anti-gravity effect."
"From what we’ve seen, it’s certain that making it move laterally would also be easy, and it might not even need thrusters. Just tilting the device a bit would allow it to move with the wind’s force... "
Even more knowledgeable individuals could understand the power issues just by listening and could make predictive calculations, "With this kind of power, even if just using an ordinary fuel generator, it would be easy to keep the device hovering in the air for days or even weeks."
"Perhaps the future of small-scale battlefield warfare is about to be rewritten, especially against opponents with insufficient anti-air defenses..."
"It’s a veritable weapon of mass destruction!"
The implications were clear.
If the enemy lacked strong anti-air defenses, sending the anti-gravity device their way would allow it to carry a substantial amount of firepower and hover over the enemy’s head for days. No matter how stubborn the enemy, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it and would be completely annihilated.
If a few days weren’t enough, another ’refueling’ anti-gravity device could be sent to provide a continuous supply of fuel and weapons. Perpetually circling above the enemy’s head, its deterrent power and effectiveness would certainly be extraordinary.
