Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1475: Chapter 699: The Public Material Transportation Project Causes an International Sensation!

The experiment that had just been completed proved the direct correlation between energy and space and clarified the direction for related research to verify this link.

Though the direction was clear, carrying out the actual work was a massive project.

Even though the experiment involved only a region shrouded by the Anti-Energy barrier, the involvement of particle analysis required very precise data, necessitating the setup of a multitude of specially designed detection devices inside.

In the subsequent analysis of the experiment, even the region had to be divided into meticulous subregions for detailed study and calculation, among other things.

This was undoubtedly a super-large project.

When particle measurements necessitate immense detail, both experimental design and data analysis become incredibly complex, akin to particle collider research where a simple collision of two particle beams necessitates research by numerous physics teams.

The situation now was the same; the research demand was enormous, and the few people from the theoretical group, coupled with the personnel from the Z-wave group, were far from sufficient. An influx of more physicists and computer engineers was imperative.

Zhao Yi believed that it was necessary to apply for a large-scale project. Once the excitement of the experiment’s conclusion had faded, he promptly wrote a grant proposal, labeling the project "Matter Transmission Research."

The upper echelons had long been aware of the research on matter transmission.

The previous grant was for ten billion, and there was a significant amount of funds left unused. Originally thinking that the cost would be minimal, they were surprised by the arrival of a new grant proposal.

"An initial fifty billion?"

"We need a lot of physicists and computer engineers to join?"

"This is a huge project!" freewebnovel.cσ๓

Given the project’s substantial nature, it was not something one person could decide. Director Liu from the Technology Department brought forward a proposal, and the higher-ups convened to vote on it.

Though it was a vote, there was no dissent, as they had long been informed about the research on matter transmission. The research was simply too crucial, even more significant than any other cutting-edge technology.

This was matter transmission, after all!

Even science fiction movies could hardly imagine such technology, which had existed only in the realm of imagination, now surfacing in reality—research had to be conducted regardless of the cost.

Even the current technology was astounding enough that, in theory, matter could be transported from the surface of Earth to any corner of the universe.

Of course, theory is only theory for now, and the exact transport range has not been tested, but given the Mars-1 spacecraft’s initial experiment, transport within the solar system was definitely not an issue.

In any case, the research on matter transmission had to proceed; not just fifty billion, but a hundred billion or even a trillion would have to be supported.

Nonetheless, project investments still required careful consideration, as scientific projects must not directly impact economic issues. However, with the nation’s rapid development, a mere fifty billion was not a problem at all.

The high-level discussion concerned not only project support but also the issue of opening the project internationally.

Because Zhao Yi mentioned in the application that certain aspects could be opened to foreign institutions, limiting research solely to the energy-space relationship without involving Z-wave related issues. Even if disclosed fully to other institutions, they wouldn’t be able to master the relevant techniques.

That was one point.

The second was that such a significant project could attract many top-tier talents to work in the country.

Moreover, the domestic situation currently couldn’t meet the project’s needs, as they required top physicists, not just ordinary math and physics PhDs; for them, it was merely an opportunity to learn.

There were many talents in the country, but with numerous directions in cutting-edge technology, including anti-gravity, Z-waves, Spatial Information Transmission, Anti-Energy barriers, and other direct project research such as crucial spaceship construction and fusion research, the space exploration efforts of Yixing had also drawn many math and physics talents.

Considering all this, top-tier math and physics scholars had become exceedingly scarce resources domestically.

Finding many top-tier physicists for the project within the country was nearly impossible. The best approach was akin to particle collider research: allow teams from other institutions to join the work.

These teams joining the work had to adhere to the project’s confidentiality principles and be under strict supervision.

Despite such stringent conditions, numerous organizations were eager to participate, all desperate to gain access to the latest technology. Access to such top-tier technology in the field was only possible within the country.

In fact, inviting other nations’ institutions to join top-tier research and development was not an issue.

The reason was that the world situation had undergone significant changes.

Domestically, the total economic output and global influence were unparalleled, and with the Z-wave satellites and space surveillance covering every corner of space, it ensured world peace and security.

War had ceased to exist.

Earth seemed to have welcomed an era of complete peace, likely a benefit of the deterrent force across dimensions.

Many agencies advocated for the destruction of all weapons that negatively affect the environment after detonation, striving to make Earth completely safe.

And so on.
