It can be said that as long as Zhao Yi makes some of his research on space public, they would be able to develop a closed-loop anti-energy barrier based on this, which would also greatly enhance anti-gravity technology.
Of course, that was impossible.
The most confidential research Zhao Yi did involved the development related to the Z-wave and space technology. One could even say that space technology research was more critical than Z-wave technology.
Although Z-wave technology is directly related to strategic issues, space theory is the underlying technology that supports it all. With space theory as a foundation, future upgrades to Z-wave technology can be continually made.
The second point mentioned by international public opinion was the achievement of controlled nuclear fusion.
Even with a perfect anti-gravity barrier technology, creating a controlled nuclear fusion device would be very difficult. There were many technical challenges to overcome, but because the compression material had been made public, it was estimated that the material limitations were known and posed no problem at all.
"What we need to pay attention to is that the spaceship project team has completed three core devices—a nuclear fusion device, an anti-gravity system, and in addition, a high-intensity Z-wave device."
To foreign agencies, the Z-wave device could almost be described as a ’concept’, but it was indeed real, with many Z-wave satellites already in space.
Other institutions only had a ’mysterious ray’ concept of Z-wave, they knew what a Z-wave device looked like, but had never obtained any.
"The specific characteristics of a high-intensity Z-wave device will have to wait for the report released by the spaceship project team, but we can already look forward to the tests."
Under the international fervent public opinion, the spaceship project team had become a ’miracle-creating team’.
Some foreign experts who had participated in the spaceship project were also interviewed and said, "The team is a miracle. I have never seen a more efficient R&D than the spaceship project team."
"The construction of the spaceship is very fast; I’ve seen the assembly of the core components. It was amazing; the nuclear fusion device was tens of meters tall, a massive thing that could still be transported on wheels. It’s the first time I’ve seen such an impressive transportation vehicle."
"Peric Company got the order for the seats; I went with my colleagues to deliver the seats and installed them in the control cabin. It was very futuristic, like a spaceship—of course, it is indeed a magical spaceship."
"I am an astronaut; I’ve never been to the project team but have communicated with those astronauts who have been on anti-gravity ships in China. We trained together, and I became good friends with ’Deng’. He’s a nice guy, took good care of me, and I hope that one day, I too can board a space ship and fly to space—"

Amidst the bustling public opinion, Zhao Yi went to the spaceship project, where he still held the titles of ’Technical Consultant for the Spaceship Project Group’ and ’Chief Designer’. In fact, there were three chief designers, and he was just one of them, mainly responsible for the technological issues of the main structure.
Such problems could be resolved remotely, so he only came once at the beginning and then did not pay much attention afterward.
Now, his visit to the spaceship project group was mainly because of the testing of key core components. The first step of testing was to start the nuclear fusion device, and after achieving stable power supply, the next phase could begin— fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Starting and shuttling!
The spaceship wasn’t fully assembled yet, of course, so it wouldn’t ascend into space for the shuttle experimentation; the shuttle would be completed on the ground. The plan was to move the spaceship forward at a speed of ten meters per second, then activate the Z-wave pathway, covering five kilometers ahead, allowing the spaceship to achieve ’shuttle movement’.
Although the speed of the spaceship was only ten meters per second, in a space compressed more than a hundred times, it was equivalent to traveling thousands of meters per second, quickly completing the five-kilometer journey.
Though it was only an experimental shuttle, it was very complicated due to the massive volume of the spaceship.
Firstly, even the simplest route was a big challenge.
The test site chosen by the spaceship project group was thirty kilometers away from the project, with an area of ten kilometers around the test site being turned into a vast construction site, all leveled to the ground to avoid any potential accidents. Even larger pebbles had been cleared from the ground.
The amount of manpower invested in this project was imaginable, with more than ten thousand workers involved and the work lasting for over a month. freewёbnoνel.com
The spaceship project group was located at the edge of a desert, and upon arriving, Zhao Yi found it completely different from two years ago.
Two years ago, the project was really just a team, with a few hundred people, newly built factories, speed, basic living necessities, food supplies, etc., all relying on a small city fifty kilometers away.
Now, several kilometers around the project were filled with numerous buildings, and upon entering along the road, it appeared to have turned into a small town, with many shops along the road, and even street vendors selling fruits and snacks.
"This here is Space City!"
Driver Lao Zhang introduced to Zhao Yi, "Academician Zhao, it’s different from when you were here last time, isn’t it? I’ve been working here all along and witnessed these changes with my own eyes; everything has happened so quickly."
"You don’t know how chaotic it was in the beginning. So many people came from within the country and abroad that it was difficult even to arrange places to stay, and many simply lived in tents."
