Chapter 1452: Chapter 687: Selling the Mars-1 Spaceship for Ten Billion_2

Director Liu didn’t take the matter too seriously and comfortably returned to his office, brewed a cup of tea, and began to read slowly. He had barely started for a minute when he spat out his tea.

"What!"

"They’re requesting to use the Aerospace Bureau’s spacecraft to conduct an experiment? And the experiment could potentially be very dangerous, for example, a massive explosion?"

"And then, there’s a definite chance the spacecraft might not return?"

"This—"

Director Liu could no longer sit still; he decisively picked up the phone and reported to the senior leadership, briefing them on the experimental proposal documents he received.

Two hours later, the senior leaders arrived, accompanied by the head of the Aerospace Bureau Deng Long, along with several other leaders and experts. They would all listen together to the research report and experiment application from the theoretical group.

Zhang Qican was the first to speak, "We have analyzed the mathematics of particle transport from multiple perspectives."

"Through our research, we have ultimately described space as composed of fundamental ’Voidons.’"

"The density of Voidons is fixed, and at the same time, Voidons are constantly ’jumping’—"

He began to discuss their findings.

Afterward, Qiu Chengwen and Edward Witten each spoke about the mathematical rationale for the existence of Voidons from the standpoint of existing physical theories and the framework of M Theory.

The content discussed by Qiu Chengwen was somewhat more accessible; whether it’s the speed of light, Einstein’s Theory, or other related physical theories, many people are familiar with them, so using them to explain the hypothesis of Voidons was somewhat persuasive.

Edward Witten was different; he knew the mathematics of string theory were complex and thus only chose some of the simpler aspects to discuss, avoiding the more difficult parts.

Even what he considered simple was entirely beyond the understanding of most people.

Even top mathematicians and theoretical physicists, who hadn’t studied string theory, would find it challenging to follow his talk.

After Edward Witten finished speaking, the conference room fell silent for a while.

Several leaders vigorously applauded, and others followed suit. The senior leader cleared his throat and said, "As expected from a Fields Medal recipient, considered to be one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the past few decades, Mr. Witten’s talk is profound indeed."

Edward Witten sat down, pleased; he seemed to think that everyone had appreciated his speech.

Zhao Yi whispered a reminder, "That’s what leaders say when they don’t understand."

"—?"

Edward Witten didn’t catch on at first, while Qiu Chengwen couldn’t help bursting out in laughter.

Next was Zhao Yi’s turn.

Zhao Yi was set to give the final summary. He began from the perspective of the latest technology, emphasizing the importance of the experiment, "Our last experiment experienced an accident similar to a small hydrogen bomb explosion, which I believe everyone is aware of."

"According to my judgment, the accident occurred due to particle stripping and particle transport." freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Particles were stripped from the nucleus, and under special circumstances, transportation occurred; they collided in a vacuum, leading to a nuclear fusion reaction."

"Clearly, this is not normal, which is why we formed the theoretical group to research."

"Now we have some results from our research, but we are not certain if they are correct. We want to verify them through experimental methods, but we cannot guarantee the safety of the experiments we have designed."

"This experiment will create a region where even space itself might not exist; if the experiment is successful, we don’t know what will happen, and that’s why we request a spacecraft to perform the experiment in the cosmos."

"The best-case scenario is the experiment’s success without any accidents, allowing for the spacecraft to return normally."

"However, if an accident does occur, there’s a high probability that the spacecraft will not return."

"Regardless, this experiment can directly verify our results, and any cost is worth it, because if the experiment succeeds, we may gain a better understanding of space and develop new technologies based on this."

The last statement was quite persuasive.

The latest technologies researched by Zhao Yi, including antigravity, Z-waves, Space Link Technology, and compressed materials, covered space exploration, military technology, information transmission, and materials. Each one was a crushing technology in its respective field, creating continuous super-high profits. And it was precisely these key technologies that allowed domestic tech suppression and deterrence internationally.

Every piece of the latest technology could be said to be fundamental to the country’s development.

Compared to the emergence of a new technology, losing a spacecraft was hardly significant.

The senior leadership was immediately intrigued.

The head of the Aerospace Bureau Zheng Long certainly didn’t see it that way. He knew the importance of a new technology all too well, but the spacecraft used for the experiment was not irreplaceable.

The newly manufactured spacecraft by the Aerospace Bureau was his pride and joy.

It was made using the most advanced technology, highly expensive compressed materials, and was equipped with a very sophisticated electronic system; all its devices and equipment were top-notch.

Although the ship’s designated mission was space rescue, due to its superior performance, it could also undertake other work and complete some very important missions.

For instance, planetary exploration.

If we now have a more efficient Z-wave satellite that could utilize space lanes to directly crossover more than ten thousand astronomical units, exploring planets beyond the solar system.
