Chapter 1170: Chapter 571 - Mysterious Super Discovery!_1

For Zhao Yi, finding patterns was never a problem.

By comparing the installation design of the high-energy beam device with the protruding positions in space, one could infer many theoretical and technical issues according to the principles of the relationship between photons and space.

Although the nature of the mysterious rays was still uncertain, it was very easy to learn how to trigger the nodes and control the direction of the outburst.

The theoretical work was done in one step, but the technical work had to be done step by step.

Firstly, it was necessary to determine the position and direction of the scattered rays on the space shield bumps, then detailed calculations were made based on the identified positions.

Next came the experiments.

The anti-gravity team made a series of modifications to the equipment installation positions according to Zhao Yi’s design and conducted three experiments continuously.

The experiments were very successful.

The position and direction of the rays bursting from the space shield bumps were all within the design’s predictions, and the deviation did not exceed one degree.

This deviation was very small and was mainly a problem of equipment precision; as long as detailed calibration was performed, the deviation would certainly decrease.

In the process of continuous design and experimentation, the anti-gravity team gained some understanding of the principles behind the mysterious rays bursting out from the space shield’s protrusions, which could roughly be equated to inflating a balloon.

When the balloon was inflated enough, a weak point would burst, and a large volume of air would spray out. The difference was that the space shield needed to be constantly ’inflated’ to maintain it, and the bursting of a weak point was inevitable.

"If there were no weak point bursts, the space shield might explode as a whole. To some extent, it would spray out the mysterious rays, but it would not affect the functioning of the anti-gravity device and the operation of the space shield. It was just the process of releasing accumulated energy,"

Zhao Yi said, "I hadn’t considered this before. I originally thought that the space shield would dissipate any extra energy it absorbed, but instead, it constantly accumulates energy. Therefore, we must find a way to control the accumulation of energy or control the mysterious rays."

"Theoretically, since photon energy is not completely absorbed, part of the energy used to maintain the space shield will not be utilized and gets absorbed instead,"

"Even with more precise designs, there will still be surplus energy."

"I have done some simple calculations; even the most ideal design will allow the space shield to last for only a week at most before it accumulates enough energy for the protrusions to burst out rays,"

This was indeed a problem.

Although the mysterious rays emitted from the space shield’s outburst were not very harmful, if space shield technology was applied to fusion devices, it would necessitate ’pressure relief’ once a week. It sounded troublesome and might even potentially affect the fusion device in other ways.

Consequently, the mysterious rays were unavoidable and needed to be thoroughly studied; at the very least, their basic properties had to be understood. Even if ’venting’ was to be done weekly in the future, it must be ensured that there were absolutely no accidents.

In the following month, the anti-gravity team conducted continuous experiments, which, through the constant design, helped the team to learn more about the properties of the mysterious rays.

Firstly, it was confirmed that the propagation speed of the rays was infinite, impossible to measure, as the emission and dissipation happened synchronously.

Next was the transmission distance. freёweɓnovel.com

The mysterious rays did not travel very far in the air, only about two kilometers, and they reacted with energy bodies.

According to Zhao Yi’s deduction, they could increase the activity of massless particles and the energy would be absorbed by ionized substances. If the rays encountered energy or ionized matter during transmission, the energy contained would be significantly reduced, and the transmission distance would be affected.

"The mysterious rays increase the activity of particles, and greatly so, which is exactly the opposite of anti-gravity, but the effect is multiplied by several hundred times,"

"It’s probably directly related to the short duration of the burst,"

Zhao Yi concluded, "So we could call it a reverse ray, or come up with a name for it."

The anti-gravity team immediately began discussing and finally gave the mysterious rays a simple codename—

Z-wave. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Z could mean many things, such as being the initial of a country’s name, or the initial of Zhao Yi’s surname.

And so on.

’Z-wave’ was a relatively simple, generic name that would mean nothing to outsiders.

In reality, the ’Z-wave’ was neither a ray nor a wave since there was no transmission process. It appeared and reached its objective simultaneously, with no time required for interaction. Naming it a ray or wave facilitated understanding, as it would otherwise be difficult to define at present.

After a series of experiments, the basic properties of Z-waves had been established, and any further discoveries would now require time and luck.

Furthermore, more theoretical support was needed.

This was the job of the theoretical group.

Since the Z-wave was something entirely new, Zhao Yi would need to fill in the gaps in spatial logic if he wanted to understand it theoretically, which required further analysis of space and more experimental discoveries, not something achievable in a short time.

He decided to return to Yanhua University, to conduct serious research in a more relaxed environment.

However, what he didn’t expect was that on the last day of the Z-wave comparison experiment, he made a very astonishing discovery.

...

This was a large-scale experiment.

The experiment designed two anti-gravity devices to operate together and to activate their space shields simultaneously, causing protrusions that emitted ’Z-waves’ in the same direction.
