He pondered and said, "Get ready for the next experiment, I want to see for myself what exactly is going on."
"Also, prepare for the test, still around the original direction."
"Sure!"
Zhao Yi gave the instructions for the experiment, and the team immediately sprang into action.
In fact, the experiment didn’t require much preparation because the base had everything needed, including three large anti-gravity devices, two of which were independent and capable of floating.
The device that discovered the mysterious rays was the most recently built, specifically for the "puncture" experiment of the spatial shield, and the only damage caused by the protrusion of the spatial shield was to a car; there was no other loss, so the experiment could be conducted at any time. However, it was best to conduct experiments related to the spatial shield at night when it would be less noticeable, as the shield was pitch black and completely invisible.
By ten o’clock that evening, the experiment was almost ready.
Suddenly, high-level leaders arrived.
Anti-gravity research was the most important domestically and received significant attention from the upper echelons. Every issue encountered and every minor progression were of concern to many people. When the high-level leaders heard about the discovery of the "explosive mysterious rays," they rushed over immediately.
At the same time, what the high-level leaders were also concerned about was the issue encountered in the "puncture" research of the spatial shield.
This was very important.
If there were problems with the spatial shield "puncture" research, both the application of the spatial shield and the research into controlled nuclear fusion would hit a dead end.
The anti-gravity team was currently investigating the "puncture" issue of the spatial shield when they stumbled upon the mysterious rays, which couldn’t help but lead to further speculation.
The arrival of the high-level leaders did not cause any ripples; even the lower ranks of the team had grown accustomed to it.
When the experiment was conducted at night, Zhao Yi stood with the high-level leaders far on the periphery, watching. In front of them, thick steel plates had been placed as a precaution against accidents, a hundred meters from the spatial shield. Additionally, there were several cars and even a helicopter in operation.
According to Dong Lihua’s idea, "If the mysterious rays burst towards that side, let the cars and the helicopter block it first. It’s not certain they can block it completely, but at least they would absorb some of the energy."
Dong Lihua’s words indeed made sense, but a pile of objects obstructed most of the view.
Zhao Yi felt somewhat helpless.
Safety was still of utmost importance. Without complete certainty, extra caution was necessary, so he simply let Dong Lihua arrange everything.
After the anti-gravity device was activated, everything operated normally.
Soon, the spatial shield was opened.
The opening of the spatial shield was no different than before, and the command center reported, "All is normal," and regarding the "puncture," they said, "It’s the same size as predicted, the diameter deviates by no more than one centimeter."
This deviation was very precise.
The nuclear institute’s Chen Zeshu team’s requirement was that the "puncture" deviation not exceed two centimeters, so they could control the design of the cooling device, ensuring the "mouth" energy could be input to the power engine normally.
Zhao Yi was satisfied with the experimental results, but he was more concerned about the mysterious rays and immediately asked, "How long after the spatial shield was opened did the protrusion occur last time?"
The command center promptly replied, "The protrusion occurred twenty-seven minutes after the opening of the spatial shield."
Zhao Yi spoke into the intercom, "Increase the power! Use the highest power!"
"Received!"
The experiment soon ramped up the power of all high-energy beam devices.
Three minutes later.
A protrusion was visible in the distance on the spatial shield, followed by an explosion of the car right in front of it, and then the torch, positioned a dozen meters away, flared up significantly.
"There it is!"
"That’s it! Completely invisible, no idea what’s happening!"
"This time it even penetrated a car!"
"It’s definitely a ray!"
Ruan Wenye said with certainty.
Zhao Yi also nodded, "The car exploded very rapidly, but the torch flared up even faster. Perhaps there is a delay in the car explosion, but this mysterious ray must be as fast as the speed of light."
"If I’m not mistaken, it should be related to the increased activity of particles and ionized matter. This ray can significantly enhance the activity of particles and ionized matter!"
"But specifically, what could it be..."
Zhao Yi muttered to himself, then suddenly asked a question, "Is the detection equipment showing any response?"
The command center replied, "The various signal detection devices we’ve aimed at it show absolutely no abnormalities."
"No abnormalities~~"
Zhao Yi pondered, "That means it’s probably not electromagnetic waves, not infrared, or other light waves... that complicates things."
"Now I can confirm one thing."
Ruan Wenye, Dong Lihua, and the other senior leaders looked over.
Zhao Yi, "This ray is not related to the ’hole opening’ design of the spatial cover, but is directly related to the power turned on by the device."
"So next, we can stop and conduct a test with Unit Two."
Unit Two is a conventional anti-gravity device, with a design now more powerful than the original, capable of maintaining the spatial cover for a longer period.
Half an hour later, Unit Two was activated.
Zhao Yi commanded to turn it on at maximum power, and after about twenty minutes, at a similar altitude, they detected the same bulge in the spatial cover, unfortunately, since the direction faced was parallel to the ground, the test objects prepared were not used.
What Zhao Yi saw was the same as the others, but utilizing the system’s capabilities to study the characteristics of the mysterious rays, he suddenly discovered an interesting problem.
After the experiment was completely finished, the team’s senior management held a summary meeting, where he shared his thoughts, "For our next experiments, we’ll need some precise equipment to determine whether the mysterious light rays exceed the speed of light, or rather, possess ’infinite speed’, as well as how far they can travel and how strong their penetrating power really is."
"Exceed the speed of light? Possess infinite speed?"
"Don’t joke!"
"No material can exceed the speed of light. The speed of light is constant!"
Several people reflexively objected because the idea of exceeding the speed of light upended the knowledge in their minds, and subsequent considerations of penetrating power and transmission distance were outright ignored.
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Based on spatial theory, I think that properties related to space already fall outside of conventional physics, much like how in an anti-gravity area the activity level of particles drops, and for particles with mass, the maximum speed is no longer the speed of light."
Indeed, this was the case.
Many experiments had found that within anti-gravity areas, the speed of particles is restricted. Nuclear reaction experiments are the most direct evidence; in regular nuclear fission reactions, if not intentionally controlled, the reaction speed is significantly slowed, which is enough to show that particle movement is restricted.
The others fell silent.
They considered a possibility, "Could the mysterious rays really have exceeded the speed of light? Or even possess ’infinite speed’?"
This explained why they were ’invisible’ and also ’undetectable’.
If the mysterious rays reached ’infinite speed’, because they lack a ’propagation process’, even if they emit continuously right before one’s eyes, they are fundamentally impossible to see or detect.
At the same time, such rays are a bit too terrifying, right?
If the rays could travel far enough, couldn’t they instantaneously overcome spatial barriers and transmit to hundreds of thousands, millions, even billions of light-years away?
But is that possible? freёweɓnovel.com
...
Zhao Yi’s assertions turned many people’s understanding upside down, even challenging theoretical science.
But this was reality. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The answers provided by "Law of Cause and Effect" couldn’t be wrong. The mysterious rays do exist and carry spatial properties; they essentially have no propagation process, theoretically possess infinite speed, although due to energy dissipation, the distance they can travel is finite.
The other characteristics are still unclear, but the above conclusions are definite.
What follows is not about conducting experiments, but about perfecting theories and technical research.
Zhao Yi carefully examined the two anti-gravity devices and made detailed measurements of the protuberances in the spatial cover. Combining the high-energy beam arrangements inside the device, the positions and directions of the spatial cover bulges, he derived the relationship between the ’positions of the spatial cover bulges and the arrangement of the high-energy beams’ based on the theory of the relationship between photons and space.
The goal of this research was to control the position and direction of the scattering rays emitted by the spatial cover.
Only by controlling the position and direction of these scattering rays could they conduct more refined experimental research, thereby gaining a better understanding of the mysterious rays, which would then enable further theoretical analysis.
