Chapter 1276: Chapter 613: Chief Designer of the Spacecraft Research Group_1

"The space shuttle experiment was a success!"

"The small spacecraft successfully reached the moon in ten seconds!"

"Without a doubt, this will become a major event in the development of human technology, marking the beginning of humanity’s journey into the cosmic starry skies!"

"From today on, humanity will no longer be confined to Earth."

The success of the space shuttle experiment became the focus of global public opinion.

All media outlets were reporting on it, even those normally focused on gossip news mentioned the space shuttle experiment and elaborated on the process in great detail.

If you went to the hot search news on websites around the world, most of them were related to the space shuttle experiment and also revealed a variety of information.

Even if a well-known figure talked about the space shuttle experiment, it could become a focal point of attention.

Thus, even more people, media, and institutions came forward to express their views and attitudes regarding the space shuttle experiment.

At this time, the usual suspects like brands, celebrities, and trending phrases that typically dominated the hot search lists were completely suppressed.

For example, on the domestic Weibo hot search rankings, thirty-three out of the top fifty were related to the space shuttle experiment.

Other unrelated news was completely taken over by netizens as well.

At this time, there was an interesting occurrence: for instance, if a celebrity made it onto the hot search list for whatever reason, they would immediately be criticized by a large group of people for seizing network resources.

Then, in order to protect their image, the celebrities had no choice but to come forward and apologize.

Some lesser-known celebrities hoping to ride the wave also publicly spoke about the space shuttle experiment, but they too were harshly criticized by public opinion and accused of "riding the coattails" of the event.

After two or three such incidents, most celebrities cooled off, and they could only grudgingly put their activities on hold, avoiding any mention of the space shuttle experiment even during interviews.

Scholars, however, were treated differently.

Some professors of physics and mathematics were interviewed by many media agencies and talked about the space shuttle experiment, and since they spoke more professionally, netizens were much more tolerant.

Even if what many of the math and physics professors said had absolutely nothing to do with the space shuttle experiment, netizens didn’t mind in the slightest.

At this time, many people were eager to understand the technology used in the space shuttle experiment, but even professional math and physics professors, as well as experts involved in space-related work who were not part of the experiment, couldn’t say much.

An astronomy professor from a top university speculated, "In the experiment, we could see that the camera on the small spacecraft was pitch black."

"That’s the latest Anti-Energy Barrier. There’s no doubt the experiment used Anti-Energy Barrier technology. We can surmise that, when the Anti-Energy Barrier reaches a certain power level, it can cause spatial alterations."

"You may have heard a concept that black holes are space-travel nodes; once you enter a black hole, you could travel through time and space."

"Thus, it can be understood that Academician Zhao Yi’s theory suggests that the external manifestations of an Anti-Energy Barrier are very similar to black holes. Therefore, if the Anti-Energy Barrier reaches a certain power or hits some critical threshold, it can facilitate space jumps within and accomplish the nearby space shuttle."

The professor’s statements were logical, mixing people’s fantasies about black holes with some specialized knowledge, making them sound so plausible that many people were convinced.

"I see now."

"Once the Anti-Energy Barrier’s power reaches a certain level, it can achieve a space jump, and that’s exactly what space shuttling is—a nearby space jump!"

Many media outlets reported this news; interestingly, it even spread abroad and was believed by many, even professional institutions took it to be fact.

Because it made perfect sense!

The Institute of Mechanics believed it, as they had been researching Anti-Energy Barriers, and during their investigations, they discovered a mysterious ray that some researchers came to believe was key to achieving space jumps.

Combined with what the professor said, it confirmed the idea that an Anti-Energy Barrier of sufficient power could indeed facilitate a space jump.

This claim was partially correct.

The correct part just happened to match the findings of the Institute of Mechanics, making many feel as though everything lined up perfectly.

The Institute of Mechanics suddenly felt vindicated; they had been studying Anti-Energy Barriers and faced protests from the public. Now, there were still many protesters outside.

But now? See for yourself?

The research into Anti-Energy Barriers is key to achieving space jumps!

Therefore, it is imperative to research Anti-Energy Barriers intensively, especially into increasing power levels—investment, investment, and more investment is needed.

Following this, the Institute of Mechanics promptly applied for a significant amount of funding and sought full strategic support from administrative departments.

Previously, the Institute of Mechanics had relied on corporate and individual sponsorship for funding, with only a small portion coming from governmental scientific grants.

These were the results of different policies.

Even world-class research institutions, which are semi-private, could not receive high-level administrative support. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Things were different now.

When the research rose to a strategic level, it was sure to receive much stronger support.
