Liu Jiankun’s proposal was certainly tempting, but it was just a jest, not to say a trillion wouldn’t be accepted, but such a high price was impossible to fetch.
Top-tier institutions would indeed clamor to purchase an ultra-high-density alien technology product, and 10 million per item might even be considered low, but even the most elite institutions have limited funds to use, and the number of buyers for such items is extremely limited. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Using alien technology as a selling point could indeed attract some institutions to purchase, but fetching several billion would be quite good, and the possibilities of reaching over a hundred billion, let alone several hundred billion, are slim—not to mention a trillion.
Selling for just tens of billions would be very unworthy, as it would sacrifice future credibility and image, a truly unprofitable deal. Moreover, leaking information prematurely would compromise confidentiality, so even tens of billions wouldn’t clinch the deal.
So, it was indeed just a jest.
After the first experiment concluded, it was clear that the results were very fruitful.
The experiment team and the senior management team commenced follow-up work, which was mainly divided into three parts.
The first part was to compile various data for the theoretical team to study techniques, laws, and principles.
This was primarily Zhao Yi’s work. Both the theoretical team and the experiment team could only compile technical laws, but Zhao Yi was responsible for the deeper underlying principles, with even Zhang Qican only playing a supportive role.
The second task was to conduct follow-up testing on the materials.
In fact, getting ’compressed materials’ from the experiment was incidental; the degree and state of material compression had no significant meaning for space and Z-wave theoretical research.
But it was precisely these incidentally created materials that held greater significance in reality, because new types of materials could be used in many different fields.
For instance, titanium alloy compressed to one-fifth of its original size.
This new type of titanium alloy, with a much higher density, had undergone a qualitative change; its physical properties were bound to drastically transform.
For instance, properties like the melting point, corrosion resistance, and radiation protection would definitely make ’compressed titanium alloy’ applicable in many fields, where it would perform better.
Compared to international leaders, domestic material research has always lagged behind, with high-end materials in many fields relying on foreign purchases.
Now, armed with an entirely new material manufacturing technology, industries can achieve truly transformative developments in material production.
The last part was to determine the direction of the next experiment.
Zhao Yi, as the leader of the experiment team, was responsible for setting the specific direction for the experiments, so discussions about the experimental direction were mostly personally explained by him.
At the meeting.
Zhao Yi didn’t immediately discuss the next direction for the experiment team but brought up a suggestion, "I think we should start researching super-large space vessels."
"Such space vessels can be likened to the gigantic ships in science fiction movies, capable of accommodating thousands of people, shuttling through space, cruising the universe."
"I believe that this is the target of our next step in development." freēwebnovel.com
Facing the many surprised expressions at the meeting, Zhao Yi looked around and explained earnestly, "The reason I say this is that we now possess the core technology related to it."
"Mature technology?" Liu Jiankun, the general manager of Aviation Group and a good friend of Zhao Yi’s, immediately questioned, "Although we have anti-gravity technology, Z-wave technology, and even Spatial Connection Technology, what does that have to do with space vessels? The most important thing for a space vessel is its ability to traverse the universe. Even with a well-developed nuclear fusion device, we might have enough energy, but how can we increase the speed? With the current velocity of space probes, reaching Mars still takes three months."
Zhao Yi looked at Liu Jiankun, nodding continuously as he listened, and then he chuckled, "Manager Liu, have you forgotten?"
"What?"
"I’ve said before, the most significant outcome of this experiment is the substantial increase in the speed of space travel, while the compressed materials are just incidental."
Zhao Yi continued, "The compressed materials we’ve obtained now are mostly insignificant because, although we don’t yet know the specific test results, I believe that even if used in our current technology—whether in satellites orbiting Earth, rocket propellants, or other high-tech devices—it would be rather extravagant, as the performance of these materials far exceeds our needs."
"So, it would be best to use them in the field of space exploration."
"Then, to continue what I was saying, through the experiment, we have studied the characteristics of spatial compression, and the next step of the experiment is to investigate the adaptability of the anti-gravity effect to spatial compression."
"To put it simply, we’ll place an activated anti-gravity device into a high-intensity Z-wave covered area and allow it to travel forward at a constant speed."
"I believe that through this experiment, we can conclude that spatial compression does not affect spatial shields. In other words, if a device equipped with spatial shields travels in an area exposed to ultra-intense Z-waves, then its speed could increase by tens or even over a hundredfold."
Zhao Yi finished speaking and looked at everyone.
Initially, he had considered using the anti-gravity field to counteract the effects of spatial barriers, in turn negating the impact of spatial compression.
But after one experiment, he had drawn a conclusion—
Space shields can perfectly isolate the effects of spatial compression.
This astonishing discovery left even Zhao Yi very surprised, and he knew that they had already acquired the core technology needed for space travel.
