Chapter 1168: Chapter 570: Surpassing the Speed of Light? Possessing Infinite Speed!_1

"The space cover emits mysterious rays and has an explosive effect? And it destroyed a car?"

"Is it assumed to be black?"

"What do you mean by ’assumed’? What does that mean? Since it’s emitted by the space cover, maybe it has the ability to absorb light, which is why it’s invisible, right?"

"An explosive effect? Impossible..."

On the way to the anti-gravity team’s experimental base, Zhao Yi mulled over the information he had received. Drawing from theories related to space, he felt that it couldn’t be possible for there to be an explosive effect.

Because, an explosive effect is ’a phenomenon that can be understood based on the existing scientific framework,’ like the explosion of black powder, which in principle is just the outbreak of a chemical reaction, based on molecular-level reactions.

Space, obviously, has nothing to do with large molecules.

Even if the mysterious rays truly had explosive power, it would have to be based on the tiniest, massless particles, like photons, neutrinos, and the like. But such particles couldn’t possibly react directly with large substance molecules—they could at best serve as the ’medium’ that ignites.

"The car..."

"It must have ignited the fuel tank or the engine, right?"

Zhao Yi arrived at the anti-gravity experimental base deep in thought and immediately saw Dong Lihua and also Ruan Wenye.

Ruan Wenye was the pillar of the anti-gravity team. He was engaged in theoretical analysis of the ’mysterious rays,’ offering only theoretical guesses, "This mysterious ray is related to the space cover, I think it definitely carries some spatial properties."

"It’s hard for us to understand it using normal logic. Personally, I think that the explosion of the car might be due to the engine being penetrated. Academician Zhao’s theory states that the space absorbs a large amount of energy to form a space cover, so the rays dispersed from the space cover must have a great deal of energy."

"Although no damage to the engine or car exterior was found, it’s hard to say in terms of spatial dimensions."

Ruan Wenye nodded seriously as he spoke, using expressions and gestures to affirm his speculation.

The others also started to think deeply upon hearing this.

"Makes sense!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Zhao Yi clapped his hands as he and Dong Lihua walked in together.

Ruan Wenye greeted Zhao Yi with a smile, "Ah Zhao Yi, you’ve finally arrived. What do you think of my analysis just now?"

"It makes a lot of sense!"

Zhao Yi reiterated, "The rays emitted by the space cover are indeed difficult to comprehend normally. Most of what you said, I basically agree with, except for the penetration part."

"On my way here, I gave it careful thought. It’s unlikely that rays emitted by a space shield would react directly with ordinary matter, so I don’t think the mysterious rays would damage the exterior of a car, even from a spatial perspective."

"But my ideas are not necessarily logical. What you said could also be not wrong," Zhao Yi affirmed Ruan Wenye’s hypothesis, "Space, is hard to predict; perhaps on the level of spatial dimensions, the car’s exterior has already been penetrated, who knows."

Ruan Wenye felt proud for the first time encountering such affirmation; he even couldn’t help holding his chin a bit higher.

Zhao Yi laughed, "So, now, tell me about the specifics. I’ve only heard a few words from Manager Liu."

Ruan Wenye immediately began to elaborate.

The process of this incident was rather simple. The anti-gravity team was conducting an ’opening in space cover’ experiment. Previously, space covers were always closed-off, but to utilize space effectively, a ’controllable’ opening had to be left to allow for the exchange of energy, matter, and signals with the outside world. The application of nuclear fusion devices also necessitated controllable energy transmission channels.

Zhao Yi had designed a simple plan, directing the anti-gravity team to modify the apparatus to meet the requirements for ’opening’ a space cover.

This experiment also tested whether any problems would occur with the space cover being open for a long time.

As a result...

Problems did arise.

The ’hole’ in the space cover opened up smoothly, with a hole successfully created at the top. Unexpectedly, about half an hour later, a bulge was discovered in a certain part of the space cover, and a car driving on the ground below immediately exploded.

The explosion occurred only inside the engine, not too violent, but it caused the car to catch fire, fortunately, the driver escaped in time.

Later, the team conducted a detailed inspection of the car and found that everything seemed unrelated to any other factor; it was an internal explosion of the car’s engine.

The most bizarre part of this incident that everyone knew was that the coincidence was too great; the car’s explosion and fire must be related to the inexplicable bulge in the space cover, which was likely the dispersion of rays.

This was the strangest aspect.

In the remote surveillance footage, no rays could be seen at all. The bulge in the space cover was just noticed, and then the car exploded straightaway.

"So, the rays, they are also presumed?" Zhao Yi pondered with a frown.

Ruan Wenye explained, "Rays must have been produced, and they were detected from the shape of the bulge in the space cover—that’s an invisible ray."

Not being able to see rays is perfectly normal and completely understandable.

The location of the bulge in the space cover directly faced the car. Roughly a second later, the car exploded and caught fire—an incredibly fast sequence that seemed as if it was hit by an ’invisible’ explosive.

Zhao Yi followed up by closely examining the surveillance video, discovering the process of the bulge in the space cover. It was somewhat similar to a solar flare, but also resembled the bursting of a balloon, as if something had been ejected from a specific area. The exact details remained unclear.
