Chapter 1277: Chapter 613: Chief Designer of the Spacecraft Research Group_2
The Institute of Mechanics’ application was swiftly approved, and they immediately received a funding promise of two billion dollars.
This was still just the initial allocation.
National departments continued to discuss and held consecutive meetings, deciding to fully support the Institute of Mechanics’ research, mainly because during the space shuttle experiment, they could indeed observe an anti-gravity barrier. The small space shuttle had clearly activated an anti-gravity barrier to complete the space jump.
Yes, a space jump.
The most significant impact of the astrophysics professor’s statements was that they convinced many people that the completion of the space shuttle experiment relied on achieving a "space jump."
Actually, space shuttle experiments and space jumps are two entirely different concepts.
Space shuttling is a very fast "traverse," while space jumping equates to "teleporting," ignoring distance and obstructions to instantaneously "pass through."
The understanding of space jumping is also extremely shocking. One notion is, "If this technology can achieve a span of thirty thousand kilometers per second, then on Earth, wouldn’t it be possible to transport the device to any corner of the world in just one second?"
This is absolutely terrifying.
For example, a weapon with enormous destructive power.
If one could instantaneously transport a weapon to any corner of the world, then no place would be safe anymore; it could be said that once a location is locked on, it would be struck immediately.
Suddenly.
Many influential individuals started to feel insecure, even if surrounded by numerous guards, but no matter how many guards there are, they cannot withstand destructive weapons.
It’s like stepping on ants—no matter how many there are, it’s pointless.
After the end of the space shuttle experiment, Earth seemed to have welcomed an era of true peace, where no one bothered to discuss military matters anymore.
Everyone was focused on academic research and technology, striving to conquer the universe for humanity.

Domestic and international public opinion continued to ferment.
For an entire week, news related to the space shuttle experiment was everywhere, and the Aerospace Bureau also made its move.
On the third day after the experiment concluded, the Aerospace Bureau held a press conference, with several top leaders participating.
Zhao Yi was, of course, among them.
This press conference was to celebrate the success of the space shuttle experiment, and they also welcomed interviews from foreign media. However, when it came to key technologies, they only talked about Anti-Energy barrier technologies.
When Zhao Yi was asked questions, he confidently said, "Space shuttle technology is directly related to the Anti-Energy barrier."
"In my research, the Anti-Energy barrier is very peculiar; it can isolate energy and is very similar to black holes."
"I believe the Anti-Energy barrier is a black hole without a core; it doesn’t possess the property of absorbing matter, yet it exhibits the characteristics of a black hole externally."
"I am convinced that the Anti-Energy barrier is one of the main technologies that will lead humanity into cosmic space in the future."
Zhao Yi’s statements confirmed the role that Anti-Energy barrier technology played during the space shuttle experiment.
Everything he said was true; he just didn’t reveal the more central Z-wave.
The Z-wave is the key.
Z-waves allow for significant compression of space, and the role of the Anti-Energy barrier is merely to isolate the compressive force, thus allowing travel at normal speeds.
After the Aerospace Bureau’s press conference ended, the public discussion on space shuttle technology became even hotter.
Everyone in the country felt proud and confident that their grasp of science and technology had far surpassed that of foreign countries.
As some foreign institutions have assessed, since anti-gravity spacecraft can reach the moon in just ten seconds, using the same technology on Earth could allow for the transportation of devices anywhere in a single second.
This is a technology with an incredibly powerful deterrent effect.
At that time, all other technologies became insignificant. Why bother producing advanced ships or airplanes when none can be faster than space shuttling or space jumping?
Space shuttling and space jumping—it’s like striking from another dimension!
The mood in foreign media was different.
Many people were excited, thrilled, but there were also wails and sighs over the space shuttle technology not belonging to them. Everyone hoped for science and technology to advance to a new era, but if the cutting-edge technology belonged to others, it felt entirely different.
If it were just the Anti-Energy barrier technology, it might be more acceptable, but in recent years, they seemed to lag far behind in advanced technology.
For instance, Spatial Connection Technology.
Until now, they don’t even know the underlying principles, let alone know where to start researching.
For another example, anti-gravity technology.
The country had been able to utilize anti-gravity spacecraft proficiently, whereas their construction of anti-gravity spacecraft was still in the theoretical design stage. freёwebnoѵel.com
Actually, this is directly related to efficiency.
Foreign countries also possess anti-gravity technology, with many institutions having purchased the relevant licenses, and after in-depth research, they could indeed allow spacecraft to enter cosmic space.
But any brand-new research project requires a long time for theoretical verification, not to mention moving into manufacturing production. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Funding is a significant issue for some related projects.
Normally, similar technology would take at least five to ten years to become practical, and that’s under relatively fast circumstances.
Some major scientific projects could even drag on for twenty or thirty years, which is quite normal.
