It seems that this is not the case now.
These compressed materials have undergone changes at the particle level; it could be said that they have created new types of particles, and composed new types of neutrons, protons, and atoms.
"Creation?"
"Does the universe contain particles with similar characteristics?"
"Or rather, have we simply found a way to obtain particles that can’t naturally occur in Earth’s environment?"
Zhao Yi still inclined toward the latter.
Humans indeed can create new things, but at the particle level, creating something not found in the universe is almost impossible, for no matter what environment is simulated, there is bound to be a similar existence somewhere in the vast cosmos.
But one thing could now be certain: the correctness of the mass-energy equation applies only to particles not affected by spatial compression.
If the internal properties of a particle are altered due to the influence of spatial compression, its energy can no longer be calculated simply by mass.
"It seems that another classic theory of physics has been overturned!"
Zhao Yi mused, "The study of space is the foundation of everything. At the very least, it delves deeper than the studies of Einstein and Newton. Perhaps in the future, there will be more and more challenges to the traditional theories of physics."
This is normal.
The development of science and academics inevitably leads to the overturning of theories, just like with Einstein and Newton.
Before Einstein’s emergence, Newton’s theories were considered absolutely correct, but universal gravitation could not explain some phenomena in the universe. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity filled in some of the gaps left by universal gravitation.
As the information about the universe accumulated to the present day, even Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, along with Newton’s law of universal gravitation, still cannot explain some of the phenomena observed.
Thus, theories related to dark matter and black holes were developed.
Even now, scientists have only just observed gravitational waves, once again validating the correctness of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
Theories about black holes and dark matter remain only conjectures in the realm of physics because there is no direct evidence to confirm their existence.
"Perhaps by relying on spatial theory, we can continue to delve deeper into the exploration and provide reasonable explanations for the unknown phenomena in the universe,"
Zhao Yi thought.
Although he had many reflections in his heart and was full of anticipation for future explorations, he didn’t forget the important task at hand when he left—
to take the gold bar with him!
Claiming the gold bar as his own was certainly out of the question since the materials were all registered. However, having the bar in the research space could certainly lift one’s spirits.
"In that case,"
Zhao Yi made a decision, "next time we conduct the experiment, should I buy a gold bar and put it inside in advance? If it’s my own money, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Only a gold bar glimmering with gold is a true gold bar!
Soon.
Zhao Yi decided to prepare for the second experiment. He reported to his superiors and made an interim adjustment to the experiment plan.
The original plan was to conduct the second experiment three months later, mainly to verify whether a spatial shield has a blocking effect on high-intensity Z-waves. However, three months was simply too long.
Now that new discoveries had been made, it was imperative to verify them promptly.
After returning to the experimental group, Zhao Yi immediately convened the core members and explained the preparations for the second experiment, "We won’t be verifying the spatial shield for the time being; instead, we’ll continue with material-related verification."
"There are three objectives for this experiment."
"The first one is to enrich the data on compressed materials, enhancing the overall experiment data through technical and detailed calculations."
"The second objective is quite simple. We will re-introduce the compressed materials from the first experiment into the experimental coverage area to verify whether these materials demonstrate resistance to lower or the same compression ratios, or to observe what changes may occur."
"The third one, in the coverage area, is to include conventional superconducting materials."
Zhao Yi did not explain why he added superconductive materials to his research because it was still uncertain, and he had not made a full public disclosure, stating that to explain the purpose of adding superconductive materials, a series of explanations were still needed.
Adding a new type of material to the experimental area was a minor affair that had virtually no impact on the preparation for the experiment.
But the matter was of great importance.
What Zhao Yi hoped to verify was whether the antigravity characteristics of superconductive materials, when compressed and electrified, would be affected.
The initial working principle of superconducting antigravity was that electrified internal self-spinning ionic lattices would form, made up of ions missing electrons—ions with mass.
It had now been proven that spatial compression would definitely affect particles with mass, but the specifics of that effect still required careful research.
Zhao Yi thought deeply about the relationship between space and particles, believing that the characteristics of newly appearing particles were likely to be related to space.
For example, new particles might exhibit the characteristic of resisting energy absorption by space.
If such characteristics appeared, it would mean that changes in the internal state of the particles were directly related to resisting energy absorption from space.
Otherwise, research would need to continue.

One week later.
An event of great significance occurred on the international stage; the renowned Institute of Mechanics announced that they had discovered a mysterious, pure black ’antigravity cloak’ during their research into antigravity. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
They even released a video of the ’antigravity cloak’ appearing during an experiment.
The video was conducted in the form of an interview, where the physicist Holmes Bent, facing the camera, described, "In the course of the experiment, we rearranged the combination of high-energy light beams inside and cranked up the power to maximum for a continuous three hours."
"At the three-hour mark, something unexpected occurred; the entire outer layer of the antigravity apparatus was covered in blackness, completely opaque."
"When I looked at it, it felt as if my eyes were being drawn in, and I even thought it might be a black hole."
The video then showed the moment as recorded by external surveillance cameras, illustrating how the antigravity device suddenly became entirely enveloped in pure black for about three seconds before completely dissipating as if nothing had happened.
Continuing his introduction, Holmes Bent stated, "It was truly a surprising discovery; it really did look like a black hole. I believe it was completely impervious to light."
"After several experiments, we encountered the same phenomenon each time; it’s magical. We also found that this black ’antigravity cloak’ could block electric circuits from operating. Any circuit covered by the ’antigravity cloak’ was directly cut off."
"Furthermore, it can extinguish flames outright. We conducted experiments, bringing a burning torch close to it, and then it went out immediately, even the temperature seemed to be absorbed, as if it were a monster devouring heat."
Holmes Bent spoke excitedly for a long time, his eyes sparkling with astonishment, and his tone was one of certainty concerning a monumental discovery.
This research finding immediately triggered widespread international debate.
Many people joined the conversation.
Discussions within academic circles were relatively positive, "The ’antigravity cloak’ is an entirely new discovery, truly remarkable. This shows that antigravity research has a boundless future."
"I think it might be the result of an interaction between the antigravity region and the magnetic field. I’ve always believed that the formation of an antigravity region would somehow be connected to Earth."
"If we can unravel this astounding discovery, it could surely propel antigravity research to leap forward."
"Considering its properties, it may well be an energy insulator."
"If it truly insulates energy completely, its future applications will undoubtedly be very broad. It could even be used as a protective device."
When the same topic was discussed in public opinion, the tone changed somewhat: "I am utterly convinced that it genuinely is a black hole."
"Although it did not exhibit gravitational pull, perhaps it was due to insufficient energy. If supplied with enough energy, it might devour Earth!"
"That’s just too terrifying. I suggest we terminate this research, as it could bring an unprecedented great disaster to humanity!"
There were many similar statements.
Because the black shadow in the video absorbed light, it did indeed look frightening, as if one’s eyes could be sucked into it.
This also led to unprecedented public pressure on the Institute of Mechanics that had made the important discovery, and thousands of people even stood outside the Institute of Mechanics, holding signs to protest their research, and calling for the relevant authorities to step in and forcibly stop the Institute of Mechanics from conducting experiments that could ’devour the Earth’.
