Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1235: 556

"Holmes Bent, die!"

"Protest!"

"Stop your dangerous experiments at once, you heartless scientist; you’re going to destroy Earth and humanity!"

"We must protect the environment, the ecosystem, the Earth, not create weapons of destruction!"

"These experiments are anti-Earth, anti-humanity!"

"They must be stopped! We will spare no expense!"

A large crowd outside was holding signs and protesting, chanting a loud slogan that made everyone inside the Institute of Mechanics feel a tingling in their scalp. Thankfully, the security was diligent and did not allow anyone to rush in directly.

Holmes Bent hid in his office, relentlessly scratching his head, feeling somewhat regretful for making himself prominent. While he was certainly a core member of the arduous research, he wasn’t the only one.

The contributions of others to the research were also significant.

It was just that he volunteered to stand out and take interviews during the publicity of the research and development, and with his good temperament and humorous speech, he ended up being the main character in front of the cameras.

He relished that.

Now, Holmes Bent only wished it was someone else in the camera so he wouldn’t have to be ’cursed’ by the large crowd outside.

The things the protestors outside were spewing were quite unfriendly. Insults peppered with ’F’ made Holmes want to go out and compare whose muscles were more developed, but considering the vast difference in numbers, he decided to calm himself and stay in the office where it was certainly safer.

"Don’t bother with them, a bunch of Muggles!"

"They know nothing and spout nonsense; talking about black holes, even if there were any, it should swallow them first!"

"Dammit!"

Holmes could only vent his frustration in his office.

The Institute of Mechanics sent out a press officer and a few professors to explain that the ’anti-gravity shield’ is not a black hole, but it didn’t seem to be very effective.

The next day, the state sent an investigator who specifically asked about the ’anti-gravity black hole’ experiment. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

The researchers at the Institute of Mechanics quickly surrounded them to offer explanations. They truly felt wrongly accused, looking at the investigator as if seeing the first light of dawn.

Subsequently, the state government department and the Institute of Mechanics jointly issued a research statement, publicly explaining that the anti-gravity shield was an ancillary discovery of anti-gravity research and firmly stated that it was not a black hole.

In the research statement, they also released two test videos.

One showed a truck driving into it, then coming out unscathed.

The other had animals stand next to the ’anti-gravity shield,’ which didn’t get absorbed but stayed safe and sound, albeit looking extremely uneasy, clearly frightened by the dark mass nearby.

At the same time, it was clarified that the experimental equipment inside the anti-gravity shield was undamaged; the anti-gravity shield was just a layer of dark shade.

These two videos were quite convincing, at least proving that the ’anti-gravity shield’ wouldn’t swallow anything. However, people tend to stick to their beliefs; without conclusive evidence to prove them wrong, they would certainly find ways to rebut.

For example, some believed, "The black hole doesn’t have swallowing effects because it lacks energy."

"The existence of the black hole is too brief, only a few seconds, and it hasn’t fully formed."

"This experiment is definitely dangerous; a slight oversight might create a mini black hole!"

"The Institute of Mechanics should conduct research outside the solar system, not on Earth, not even the solar system is suitable!"

Of course.

The research was proven to have some effect, and many citizens who trusted it wasn’t a black hole ceased their protests. freewebnøvel.com

However, unless the ’anti-gravity shield’ becomes widespread and accessible to everyone, convincing all people is an impossible task.

So, there were still people standing in front of the Institute of Mechanics holding signs in protest, albeit with much less fervor, just voicing their discontent a few times.

The good news was that, thanks to new discoveries, the Institute of Mechanics received more research and development sponsorship. They would be able to conduct more experiments and delve deeper into the research on the ’anti-gravity shield.’

Meanwhile.

The ’anti-gravity shield’ discovered by the Institute of Mechanics also sparked an international debate.

Apart from the ordinary people’s concerns about ’black holes,’ the academic community was more eager to find out the details about the ’anti-gravity shield.’

Anyone with a decent understanding of physics knew that research related to anti-gravity couldn’t possibly create a black hole.

At least, the possibility of creating a black hole is much lower than with a particle collider.

Because the energy is insufficient.

Compared to particle colliders, research on anti-gravity technology is on a smaller scale; the energy needed to start the equipment isn’t high, and the energy concentrated at one point combined doesn’t come close to the level needed to create a black hole.

Thus, the anti-gravity shield is just an anti-gravity shield and can only be an anti-gravity shield.

So, what exactly is an anti-gravity shield?

Many scholars interested in anti-gravity technology were looking forward to the upcoming international conference of the Anti-Gravity Technology Association in half a month.

The International Anti-Gravity Technology Association, initiated and established domestically, was originally formed to facilitate the sale of anti-gravity devices and provide anti-gravity-related technology.

After its official establishment, it began to fulfill the responsibilities of an academic organization, holding conferences biannually where members could publicly disclose information about their anti-gravity technology research.
