The experiment was about to begin.

All sections reported the operational status of their equipment; final adjustments were made to the experimental parameters. After all preparations had been completed, a comprehensive check was conducted, focusing primarily on the status within the target coverage area of the experiment.

The target coverage range was set to over two hundred meters in length and thirty meters in width, with many detection devices located fifty meters away. The most critical experimental area, however, lay within a fifty-meter radius.

Some animals were placed within the experiment area and were to be monitored by dedicated high-definition cameras stationed beyond a lateral distance of fifty meters.

During the final check, the animals were fed a feast, essentially a send-off ritual for them.

The animals joyfully consumed their feast, blissfully unaware of the nightmare that was about to arrive.

Some staff at the Experiment Center felt a twinge of sympathy as they watched the animals on screen, but most people were indifferent.

Zhao Yi felt the same way.

The law of the jungle is nature’s rule for survival, and this can even be extended to the entire universe. Humanity became the sovereign of Earth, and naturally, it came to govern the other animals.

In addition, Zhao Yi had seen and personally conducted far too many experiments.

He was also a biomedical researcher; dissecting lab mice was not uncommon for him, and he frequently conducted dissections on various live animals. Compared to those experiences, the situation at hand was trivial.

Although the animals would encounter death during the experiment, theoretically, the process of dying would be extremely brief—almost instantaneous, which could be considered a form of euthanasia, to some extent.

As the scheduled time for the experiment drew near, the Experiment Center became much quieter. Those not involved in the experiment simply sat and watched the imagery on the monitor screens, while Zhao Yi continually communicated with the command staff.

One minute before the experiment, Zhao Yi had one last conversation with the command staff, reminding everyone once more of the necessity of a timely evacuation, using a very stern tone, "This is an order!"

"After completing the planned work, evacuate immediately without any hesitation. Staying even briefly could be lethal."

"This experiment is extremely dangerous!"

"Do you understand?"

Having finished, Zhao Yi entrusted the work to the on-site command staff and joined the others in watching the row of monitors that lined the wall.

The countdown began.

Through electronic devices, the voice from the Experiment Command Center could be heard. Soon, with the command ’Begin,’ the personnel inside the equipment activated the devices in a predetermined sequence.

As each person completed their tasks, they immediately evacuated from the apparatus, with cars already started and waiting outside. They departed the area at the first opportunity.

There would be an interval of about seven minutes between the start of the equipment and the release of the Z-wave.

This seven-minute duration was for energy accumulation, and the operation of the internal magnetic field maintaining device required some time as well.

Although the evacuation time was only around five minutes, it was sufficient for all personnel to move more than a kilometer away from the device.

This distance was relatively safe.

Everyone acted very quickly, and half a minute before the Z-wave release, the last departing car reported that it was a thousand meters from the base and still speeding away.

Finally, the Z-wave was about to be released. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

At this moment, the Experiment Center was silent, with everyone fixed on the monitors that covered one wall. One screen, in particular, was captivating. A zoomed-in view showed a goat blissfully munching on grass, seemingly relishing its taste, not bothering to look around as it continued to graze.

Behind the goat, several mice were enclosed in a metal cage.

The mice were completely satiated, with two of them persistently pawing at the cage, hoping for freedom, though their desire didn’t seem very strong. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

At that point, none of the animals sensed any danger.

In millions of years of evolutionary history, they had probably never encountered the threat of spatial compression, as nature does not produce such forces.

Then, suddenly, something bizarre happened.

The surveillance screen seemed like it was playing a fantasy film; the goat grazing on the grass abruptly froze and then rapidly began to shrink. Within the span of a single second, it had reduced in size to just slightly larger than an ordinary mouse.

However, the goat did not die. It was still lively and jumping around, quickly realizing that something was wrong. It turned its head to look behind, noticing that the cage seemed to have grown larger, though the size of the mice within hadn’t changed. Some mice were scurrying out through gaps created by the enlarging cage.

The mice were clearly panicking.

The goat sensed the strangeness but, with its limited intelligence, could not comprehend what was happening and simply resumed grazing.

This all transpired within merely ten seconds.

Most of the Experiment Center witnessed the scene on the monitors and were immediately shocked; the shrinking of the goat, mice, and cage seemed like something out of a movie.

The most bizarre aspect was that the animals did not die.

"They’re not dead!"

"How is this possible?"

"This isn’t a movie, right? Look at the other screens, the birds didn’t die either. It seems they’ve just shrunk and not died."

The uproarious discussion hadn’t even ended when a tremendously noisy sound came from outside.

The noise was like a teeth-grinding sound amplified a hundredfold, making one’s skin crawl. Fortunately, the walls blocked most of the sound, yet many people still covered their ears.

At the same time.
