Everyone on the scene felt terrified in retrospect, knowing that a slightly closer distance to the explosion would have surely caught them in its impact.
If it had happened within twenty meters, it’s highly likely that not even residue would be found, within two hundred meters the chance of survival was very low, and within five hundred meters there was a very high probability of injury.
Making this judgment was simple, one just had to look at the surrounding shrubbery and grasslands to know, nothing could grow within a hundred meters, and even up to five hundred meters away, affected vegetation could be found.
Fortunately, they had all moved to a kilometer away in advance, avoiding severe consequences, but some still felt their eardrums vibrating and couldn’t hear clearly even now.
Zhao Yi stood far away watching for a while, until security personnel suggested they move even further away.
"We don’t know the situation with the explosion, Academician Zhao, I think we should stay as far away as possible until the situation is clear before approaching," one said.
Zhao Yi nodded in agreement, and then departed with the others by car.
The safety of individuals was of utmost importance.
Although in theory, a hydrogen bomb explosion would not produce high radiation, the blast had just occurred, and there might be radiation that could affect the body, or other dangers.
It was best to leave it to the professionals to resolve. freёwebnovel.com
About half an hour after the explosion had ended, specialized personnel wearing protective suits approached the site for close inspection.
The results came out on the same day.
Ruan Wenye was the first to learn the results and immediately reported to Zhao Yi, "Academician Zhao, it’s just as you said!"
"According to their report, there were no other residues at the scene, as if it had appeared out of thin air, which is very similar to the theoretical expectation of a hydrogen bomb explosion," Ruan said.
The reason for saying ’theoretically’ is that conventional hydrogen bomb explosions do have nuclear contamination since atomic bombs are needed to detonate them, and only pure nuclear fusion does not produce contamination, clearly, the reality does not meet the requirements.
Of course.
With current technology, it was indeed possible to create a completely non-polluting hydrogen bomb, detonated remotely by Z-wave.
But that had nothing to do with the experiment.
Although the situation at the site could not be inspected for conclusive evidence, as the blast reaction seemed to have occurred out of nowhere, in their report of the experimental incident, they still included their related guesses.
These guesses were, in fact, Zhao Yi’s judgments.
In truth, if it had not been for Zhao Yi’s determination that it was a nuclear fusion reaction, it would have been impossible to determine how the explosion happened based solely on the traces from the scene.
Because there were no traces at all.
Without any evidence, no one could confirm that it was a pure nuclear fusion reaction, and investigations would have to continue.
A few hours after the explosion, the report on the experimental incident was submitted and immediately drew high-level attention.
An accident with the Z-wave experiment group was a significant event, especially since Academician Zhao had participated in the experiment, and with a massive explosion that was heard for tens of kilometers around.
The incident caused a sensation and also sparked heated public debate.
Such a significant explosion in the northern district of the capital couldn’t be concealed, but no one else knew how the explosion had occurred.
Thus, the public speculated, for instance, some said it was a sonic boom from a fighter jet that exploded overhead as it broke the sound barrier.
This theory didn’t gain much support, mainly because the sound didn’t come from the sky.
Many guessed it had been an experiment, or just an accident at a secret factory.
Etcetera.
The official position was not directly explained, and the public’s interests gradually faded as it was just a loud noise after all, with many possible explanations that could yield similar results.
High levels of leadership took the experimental incident very seriously, not to investigate the reasons behind it as there was nothing specific to investigate—new technological research always had the potential for the unexpected.
It wasn’t a man-made accident, it was a result that no one anticipated.
Indeed, the outcome of the explosion was a new discovery. an unforeseen one.
"Why did the area of space transmission subjected to Z-wave compression experience an explosion resembling a ’nuclear fusion reaction’?"
"What exactly is the underlying principle?"
"If we can decipher this principle, I believe our understanding and theoretical level of space-related technology will surely make a significant leap forward?"
During the high-level meeting about the incident, Zhao Yi spoke, "The occurrence of the explosion was unexpected, but at the same time, the result is incredibly startling. I’m convinced there are scientific principles within that we have yet to discover."
"Therefore, I believe we should invest significant funds into related research," Zhao Yi proposed.
Zhao Yi, Ruan Wenye, Yan Rong, and a few others expressed their experiences and views at the meeting, all agreeing on the necessity to intensify related research and development, insisting on the importance of this explosive discovery.
"I am certain it was a nuclear fusion reaction. The explosion was a super small-scale hydrogen bomb. The onsite detection results support my assertion," Ruan Wenye argued.
"This is almost a technology to create nuclear fusion out of nothing, truly astonishing!" he added.
Yan Rong then said, "This accidental explosion demonstrates that our current theories on the subject are lacking. Therefore, I propose forming a theory group led by Academician Zhao as the research head to study its theoretical principles."
The proposal was adopted.
Zhao Yi agreed to take the role of research group lead, specifically to conduct research on the relevant theories.
