Chapter 1401: Chapter 666 Entering the Space City

Yixing Company’s transportation and sightseeing ships swiftly entered the design justification phase. freewebnovёl.ƈom

This phase would last a long time, with a large number of professional technical staff involved, in order to minimize potential problems that might arise after the spacecraft is manufactured.

Primarily, this is because similar spacecraft were being manufactured for the first time, and the first time always presents various issues; once manufactured, targeted upgrades become much easier to implement.

An advantage of private enterprises is that the design justification is conducted independently without the need for any expert group review. As long as the design justification is complete, they can directly enter the manufacturing phase.

Once in the manufacturing phase, Yixing Company only had supervisory work, as all their components were ordered, and the company had no dedicated manufacturing department and did not produce any products.

After the first spacecraft was manufactured, it could then undergo testing and test flights. Passing these tests and inspections by the management departments, mainly space-related certifications, it could officially commence operations.

The speed at which Yixing Company researched and manufactured spacecraft could be described as rapid, mainly because there was no higher-level departmental oversight. The company financed its own research and manufacturing, and any problems that arose were its own responsibility.

Of course.

Another important reason was Zhao Yi’s personal capability in controlling technology and manufacturing. He could directly avoid major issues, bypassing them already at the design phase. By the testing phase, generally, only minor problems would remain, and resolving those was nearly sufficient.

Meanwhile, the progress of the spaceship project was also swift, just as Bao Enhong had said, the core components of the spaceship had already been manufactured.

This pace was quite astonishing.

Just over two years had elapsed since the spaceship project was initiated, and now the core components had been manufactured and even moved into the testing phase, which was incredible to the international community.

After the project team released the news, international public opinion was shaken.

Many countries were very slow in researching and manufacturing projects, especially those involving high technology, which moved at a snail’s pace.

Take, for example, aircraft carriers. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Even for top nations, large aircraft carriers, from project initiation to manufacturing, testing, launching, and official commissioning, were measured in years, or even decades.

One notorious example was YD Country. YD Country’s domestically produced aircraft carrier took more than twenty years to make just the outer shell. Forget about formal commissioning; even a reluctant test launch encountered various issues.

According to the project deadlines of YD Country, they assumed completing a spaceship project would take at least thirty years to start with.

Yet, just over two years later, the core components were assembled and ready for testing by the core departments.

International media began to focus on the core testing of the spaceship, with many outlets reporting, "The spaceship project has a lot of points of interest."

"First is the controlled nuclear fusion device. Z Country had already announced that, relying on Anti-Energy barrier technology, they had solved the issues with controlled nuclear fusion."

"They were able to maintain the Anti-Energy barrier continuously, using it as a shell for the nuclear fusion reaction to prevent the leakage of internal high thermal energy."

"Just maintaining the Anti-Energy barrier continuously is already an impressive technology."

Foreign institutions to this day have not achieved continuous maintenance of the Anti-Energy barrier. The Institute of Mechanics, with the deepest research into Anti-Energy barrier technology, could only keep it operational for about three hours.

This seemed to be the limit.

The head of antigravity research and development at the Institute of Mechanics, Fieldson-Campbell, stated upon announcing their results, "To maintain the Anti-Energy barrier continuously, the most important thing is to make the photon pathway form a perfect closed loop."

"If a perfect closed loop can’t be formed, and there is a leakage point at the end of the energy pathway, then the internal energy will eventually reach the leakage point, causing the Anti-Energy barrier to lose its effect."

"I am incredibly astonished that Z Country’s research team can maintain the Anti-Energy barrier continuously. I don’t understand how they do it because our control over photons isn’t about making them genuinely rotate; it’s just simulating rotation."

Fieldson-Campbell expressed what many in the antigravity technology research teams felt.

Since Aviation Group revealed the antigravity technology, many international institutions have begun their research. On a new technology development, patient study usually yields numerous results.

They had discovered some foundational secrets.

For instance, both antigravity technology and Anti-Energy barriers involved constraining photons to react with space.

However, research regarding space was completely baffling, with no clear path to follow for further study.

Thus, Professor Li Ning, who collaborated with Zhao Yi on the development of the Superconducting antigravity, became a highly esteemed guest at many institutions. The academic world knew that the advent of antigravity technology was definitely related to the research on Superconducting antigravity.

Superconducting antigravity research could then possibly be related to space.

But what was it, exactly?

Even Professor Li Ning himself didn’t know, and other institutions knew he didn’t know, but they still hoped to find a little inspiration or something else from Li Ning’s research.

Judging by the results and conclusions of the Institute of Mechanics, they had conducted very in-depth research into antigravity and Anti-Energy barrier technologies.
