Thus, the anti-gravity technology had been public for a long time, and many devices had been sold without any institution or enterprise discovering the spatial hood.
Of course.
All of that is an extra topic.
The anti-gravity team could now only conduct experiments with Machine No.1 and Machine No.2.
Dong Lihua reinvigorated her spirit, stood at the front to command the experimental preparations, and also reported the news of the experiment.
The research and exploration of Z-waves was undoubtedly of great concern to the higher-ups, as Z-waves possess significant strategic significance.
Three weeks passed.
The experimental preparations had been completed, the most important of which was an electrically powered, adjustable strong magnetic field device. Because the circuitry of the strong magnetic field device had to avoid intersecting with the Z-wave’s path, the device had to be redesigned and internally modified in a series of changes.
This took a very long time.
On the day of the experiment, senior leaders also came to observe. When waiting for the experiment to begin, senior leadership, Zhao Yi, and other staff who could withdraw all retreated a great distance, relocating themselves ten kilometers away. Several helicopters were started, ready for rapid evacuation.
After experiencing the horrific nuclear reactor explosion incident, the anti-gravity team had gained a new understanding of the dangers associated with Z-waves.
Now, Z-waves were going to hit a magnetic field, but no one could be sure of what would happen with this completely new experiment.
When the senior leadership thought Dong Lihua was "making a mountain out of a molehill," Dong Lihua earnestly rebutted, "What if something goes wrong?
’Indeed, it’s not a nuclear bomb, but perhaps other unimaginable changes could occur. We know far too little about space."
"Space can absorb energy, release energy, and perhaps during a complex reaction process, it could explode too."
"If a spatial explosion does happen, how should we dodge it?"
’There would be nowhere to escape...’"
Zhao Yi couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up upon hearing this. Although Dong Lihua was not knowledgeable about mathematical theories, her imagination was indeed rich.
The senior leadership was persuaded, feeling that Dong Lihua made sense.
What if space did explode? fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Such events always have a probability. As long as there is a chance, it’s better to keep distance.
...
Although they had moved away from the experimental device, Zhao Yi still hoped to see the process of the experiment, rather than a bunch of data.
So he requested to take a helicopter and watch the experiment from the sky.
The senior leadership also thought it made sense.
A few core personnel boarded the helicopter together, taking along various escape devices for safety, such as parachutes. Professional personnel also gave them instructions on how to use the parachutes.
They sat in two helicopters, watching the experimental device from a distance.
The experiment began with a flurry of activity by successfully activating the spatial hood.
Then the Z-waves were released.
Z-waves are invisible, and the release was completed in an instant. From a distance, it seemed like nothing had happened, but a series of data had already been calculated.
Part of the data concerned the release of Z-waves by Machine No.2, such as the spatial hood’s timely power when activating Z-waves, the direction of Z-wave release, and so on.
Besides, there was the distance of the Z-wave release.
The distance of the Z-wave release was detected by a series of devices and ultimately determined that the Z-wave had penetrated the magnetic field of the motor, but the total distance was only about six hundred meters.
’Only six hundred meters?’
Upon hearing the data, Dong Lihua became very excited, "Does that mean, the magnetic field device absorbed a lot of the Z-wave’s energy?
Normally, the release distance of Z-waves is about two kilometers. Suddenly shortening to six hundred meters certainly indicates the influence of the electric motor’s magnetic field; perhaps the energy was absorbed by it.
Of course.
Other possibilities exist as well.
Since the electric motor’s magnetic field is located inside the rotating anti-gravity device, other spatial barriers may also affect the release distance of the Z-wave.
Quickly.
Another data set confirmed that the Z-waves had been absorbed by the magnetic field.
The monitoring personnel easily found that after being penetrated by the Z-wave, the magnetic field’s strength had increased a great deal.
This increase made no sense and could not be explained normally.
"It seems that Academician Zhao’s theory is correct," a high-level authority said excitedly. "Although I knew it was correct when I came here, this result is truly thrilling!"
"If we can effectively control Z-waves, the strategic significance is just too great."
Zhao Yi nodded faintly and continued to watch the direction of the experiment.
The experiment had not ended yet.
Actually, everything was under control, but what came next was the most important part: the magnetic field’s energy absorption of Z-waves was expected.
But what about the release?
Now wasn’t the time to build a Z-wave Generator; anti-gravity devices always needed to be switched off eventually, and releasing the magnetic field energy was also part of the experiment’s plan.
After waiting for about ten minutes and ensuring all the data had been collected, Machine No. 1, used to establish a spatial barrier area, started to gradually reduce the strength of the spatial barrier. The method was to slowly shut down the sub-devices of the internal high-energy light beam combination, and during this reduction process, it seemed as if nothing had happened from a distance.
The experiment’s monitoring center also reported no abnormalities.
"That’s strange!"
"They say that as the anti-gravity effect decreases, the magnetic field strength also gradually declines, but what about the energy? Energy always has to go somewhere, right? Could it possibly have been absorbed by space for nothing?" Dong Lihua wondered aloud.
Zhao Yi stared intently at the position above Machine No. 1 and frowned slightly as he said, "Tell them to pause and then shut down Machine No. 1 directly."
"Shut it down directly? Isn’t that too risky?" Dong Lihua immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Releasing the magnetic field’s energy slowly would be much less dangerous, whereas releasing it all at once could potentially be hazardous, even possibly resulting in an explosion right there.
The high-level authority furrowed their brows and said, "Follow Academician Zhao’s instruction!"
A single sentence made the decision.
Dong Lihua was full of worry; they had just lost Machine No. 3, like losing a piece of flesh from their own body, an agonizing loss.
Machine No. 1 was the poorest performing, but being the first one used, they had grown quite attached to it. Additionally, Machine No. 2 was only a short fifty meters away from Machine No. 1.
If Machine No. 1 were to explode, it would likely affect Machine No. 2, and then everything would be lost.
The more Dong Lihua thought about it, the less willing he became, struggling for a long time before finally making up his mind, "Alright then!"
He gritted his teeth and issued the command, at the same time instructing all personnel who could evacuate to do so.
Then came a series of preparations.
These preparations took almost twenty minutes, and once everything was ready, Dong Lihua gave the command, "Shut it down!"
The experiment command immediately sent out the signal.
Machine No. 1 was abruptly switched off, and the device continued to rotate due to inertia, which was all that could be seen from the outside.
Dong Lihua let out a breath of relief, "Thank goodness... there was no explosion!"
"But it seems like nothing has happened after all, could it be like I said, that the energy was absorbed by space? Or did it dissipate directly like the effect of a space dome?"
The high-level authority and Dong Lihua both turned to look at Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi also exhaled softly, smiling faintly as he said, "Indeed, we have many detection devices, but the direction of the energy released by the magnetic device is uncertain. If Z-waves were released, there’s a very high probability that we wouldn’t capture it..."
"We should feel fortunate now!"
He suddenly said, "I believe the energy was released upwards, and probably diagonally upwards at that. If the angle of deflection had been greater, it might have directly hit us..."
Zhao Yi knew with his abilities that Z-waves had been successfully released at an upward slant; no detection devices were installed above the apparatus, so naturally, they would register no anomaly.
So, he did indeed feel quite fortunate, having avoided the extremely slim chance of being hit by Z-waves emitted from the magnetic field.
Meanwhile.
In a satellite base on the O Continent, James, responsible for monitoring the status of satellites, was leisurely enjoying his late-night snack with his legs crossed.
All of a sudden.
One of the screens turned to a white pattern, and he frowned and stood up to operate it carefully, but the screen remained unchanged.
"KR-71? If I remember correctly, that should be above the desert, right?"
"How did it suddenly go offline?"
James hastily reported the issue up the chain and called over colleagues and superiors. After studying it and conducting many checks for a long time, they finally concluded—
The KR-71 satellite had experienced an internal circuit board short-circuit, and the main circuit board was damaged...
