Chapter 1365: Chapter 651 Time and Space_3
"Approved!"
"Passed directly!"
"If we can develop this technology, all the major problems of the project will be resolved!"
Zhou Hong thought so, but he couldn’t do it himself. In the early stages of approval for the two-billion project, they still symbolically convened a meeting and linked up with Zhao Yi via video to let him provide the relevant research and development explanation.
Zhao Yi gave a brief explanation, describing the necessity of Z-wave exploration technology and its importance in achieving space exploration. Then the project team issued the approval and the application reached the hands of the senior leadership.
The senior leaders did not hesitate at all, they simply inquired about the content and then approved it directly.

Most of the initial two billion in funds requested by Zhao Yi were to be used in establishing a laboratory and manufacturing a sophisticated Z-wave Generator.
The newly established laboratory required a lot of precision equipment, some of which even had to be custom-made or manufactured, which would certainly consume a considerable amount of money.
In addition, research also required support staff; experts in fields like microphysics, optics, and electronics were indispensable.
After Zhao Yi applied for the project, departments such as the Science Academy’s optics laboratory, the physics department, and the High Energy Institute immediately dispatched the needed personnel, including three academicians and seven other researchers, one of whom was an associate researcher.
Zhao Yi also brought in personnel from the theoretical group as assistants to handle some of the computational work.
He quickly ordered a high-precision, compact Z-wave Generator, along with more than a dozen high-precision electronic detection devices.
Additionally, the equipment for establishing a vacuum environment was also essential.
After completing a series of orders, many staff members arrived at the laboratory, and Zhao Yi convened a meeting with everyone.
This was an initial meeting.
"Although most of the equipment has not arrived yet, our research has already begun," Zhao Yi said. "The first thing we need to do is analyze various types of constrainable particle beams to see if we can quickly test the changes in the properties of the particle beams through experimental means."
"What we need to do now is theoretical research, coming up with some feasible plans to lay the groundwork for the real research!"
The research was about designing a scheme for detecting changes in the properties of particle beams.
Of course, first of all, it was necessary to design different particle beam generation schemes and constrain the particle beams within a certain range.
The most direct and feasible approach was to constrain charged particle beams.
Charged particle beams could be constrained simply by using a magnetic field. Once emitted, they would continuously circle under the influence of the magnetic field and could be controlled and detected.
However, charged particle beam detection was just one of the approaches. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
In fact, Zhao Yi did not have high hopes for the detection scheme of charged particle beams because their property detection would be severely affected by electric currents and magnetic fields.
That is to say, constraining charged particle beams is easy, but detecting them is very difficult.
He was hoping to research whether energy beams would be affected in a space-compressed environment.
For example, the most basic light beam.
Theoretically, energy should not be affected by space compression, but the theory he was researching might not be completely accurate.
Moreover, to say that light beams, being pure energy, are not affected at all might not be accurate either.
For instance, the most direct counterexample is that light beams are affected by supermassive gravity, which increases the production of observable gravitational waves.
The occurrence of gravitational waves is directly related to the existence of spacetime.
Spacetime consists of time and space.
The bending of light beams is influenced by spacetime, and space compression might not only affect space but might also affect time.
In the domain of time, he had not conducted in-depth research.
Now, however, he could delve into research and contemplation.
