Chapter 1226: Chapter 592 This is Definitely a Product of Alien Technology!_2
All the animals on the screens exploded almost simultaneously, and it even seemed like they turned into smoke; not even a chunky object could be seen, as the lenses were covered with powder.
The scene instantly became a complete mess.
Everyone was stunned.
At this moment, many people turned their gazes toward Zhao Yi, seemingly hoping he would provide an explanation.
Zhao Yi was also shocked by what he saw before him. He had anticipated that the animals would die immediately but hadn’t expected that an explosion would occur afterward. He took a deep breath and said, "Looking at the time interval, we can confirm that the duration of the spatial compression lasted for about ten seconds."
The grinding noise from outside was very brief, lasting only about two to three seconds, and then it was no longer heard.
Just now, many people were shocked by the reduction in size of the animals, and when they looked at the other screens, they realized that everything had shrunk, although to different extents. It was like they only later noticed that everything had been reduced, including the mouse cages. They had not been squished but rather uniformly shrunk, though not as severely as the mice had. It seemed to the goats like the cages had gotten bigger. Meanwhile, many of the welding joints had basically broken off, and the cages merely sat there.
Other materials had also shrunk many times over.
The metal materials directly in view on several screens had clearly shrunk several times in size. One screen happened to face all of the alloy plates, and one could see that these plates occupied only about one-fifth of the screen both horizontally and vertically, allowing for a rough estimate that the size had been reduced by a factor of five.
One large metal sphere was the most obvious; under the camera, it had shrunk to the size of a basketball.
People at the Experiment Center were staring at the screens, unable to help but start an astonished discussion, "This is the most incredible experiment I’ve ever seen. If I didn’t know any better, I would think I’m watching a movie with magic."
"Like H-P? Shrink swiftly?"
"Is there such a spell?"
"It’s really, incredibly amazing!" Liu Jiankun gasped and asked Zhao Yi, "Academician Zhao, will these things grow back? I mean, will they revert?"
Zhao Yi was staring at the metal sphere on the screen, using his ability to calculate that the reduction ratio was ’5.27.’ At the conclusion of the experiment, he had already computed the number ’5.41.’ He pursed his lips tightly before saying, "Reversion is impossible, but they will gradually get a bit larger over time. However, the ratio will be quite small. For instance, it might go from a five-fold reduction to a four-fold reduction."
The others quieted down, listening intently.
"After the experiment concludes, the process of re-expansion is exponentially decreasing, meaning that the fastest growth has already ended in the past few dozen seconds. Going forward, it will be challenging to see any noticeable increase. We can only wait patiently but I believe that in the end, the level of reduction won’t decrease below 5."
"This growing process is accompanied by the weakening of the magnetic field and radiation." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"So we can’t approach the experimental area right now; it’s filled with radiation and strong magnetic fields. The radiation intensity should not be too high and will quickly weaken to a safe level, but the magnetic field, I estimate, will persist for a very long time, especially on the surfaces of the metals."
Zhao Yi made a judgment, and immediately afterward, staff members reported the latest monitoring data. freeweɓnøvel.com
The data on radiation intensity wasn’t available yet, but the magnetic field strength could be directly measured with devices. About 50 meters from the affected area, the measuring equipment had already reached its maximum value.
meters away, the recorded data was 6T.
At one kilometer, the equipment showed 0.2T.
The staff member reported, "Based on measurements taken from a distance, the magnetic field strength is continually decreasing, and the rate of decline is swift."
"However, currently, within a hundred meters of the experimental range, there is still a very harmful strong magnetic field."
Quickly,
the radiation data also came through.
About one kilometer from the affected area, when staff approached the site to measure, the radiation intensity was only slightly above the safe limit.
"It seems the radiation isn’t severe."
Zhao Yi concluded, "Just as with the theoretical calculations, materials affected by spatial compression mainly generate a magnetic field, with radiation being merely a byproduct of the compression of internal atoms."
At this time, within the experimental coverage area, the images on the screens hardly moved at all, and everyone was focused on the monitoring data.
The impact of radiation had become quite insignificant, with the strong magnetic field being the primary concern.
When the magnetic field strength exceeds 800mT, it can start affecting living organisms, and an overly high magnitude greatly increases the possibility of genetic mutations. Strengths over 2T become extremely dangerous.
According to international standards, a normal operating environment for the human body with an average exposure to a magnetic field strength of up to 200mT is considered within the safe range.
Everyone stayed within the Experiment Center, constantly checking the changes in the magnetic field strength.
At the same time, some staff members dressed in radiation-proof and magnetism-proof safety suits slowly approached the central area.
Beside them were devices for measuring magnetic field strength and radiation levels. They would proceed only after confirming safety through these measurements.
A team got as close as fifty meters and reported that the magnetic field detector at that distance had malfunctioned due to the strong magnetic field, and the temporary data recorded was 2T.
This data reassured everyone.
"It’s dropping quickly!"
"At the beginning, it couldn’t be detected at all, meaning the magnetic field was definitely very strong."
"The strongest magnetic field in the universe can reach 10^8T, but that’s theoretically present in large black holes. I estimate that at the moment the experiment concluded, the magnetic field was definitely extremely strong, a conservative estimate might be over 20T, which directly damaged the measuring equipment fifty meters away."
