Chapter 1499: 709 Chapter Something must have happened!_3
After careful deliberation, the eight members of the research team were divided into three groups, with two individuals in charge of one area each. The two optical experts were not assigned to any group; their main task was to provide optical-related advice.
The task of constructing a more stable channel took one week.
One week later, the final design was set, and it was time to move on to the manufacturing verification phase.
Everyone involved in the research was nervous and anticipatory; they hoped that the device produced with the latest design would yield anomalies upon connection, for anomalies could signal new discoveries.
Of course, the most important thing was first to manage to create it, and normal manufacturing procedures would take a long time.
Zhao Yi made a request to his superiors, and they went directly to a photoelectric factory with their plans, asking the affiliated laboratory to help manufacture the materials.
Since it was a new design, new manufacturing, even the most basic fabrication required guidance, specifying the production needs, and the production needed to be very precise. The materials and beam equipment used were also brand new. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The most difficult part was still the beam equipment.
Ordinary high-energy beam generators did not have enough power, so new beam generators had to be created, and just like light bulbs, too high a power could lead to burning out.
To solve this problem, the internal component materials had to be replaced.
Zhao Yi went straight to the High Compression Materials Company, asking them to conduct a high-intensity Z-Wave Compression coating to create the necessary materials.
This time, the power of the Z-Wave Compression was very high; the compression ratio of all metallic materials exceeded five times, even approaching six times.
Only metals with such a high compression ratio, installed inside the beam generators, could provide sufficiently high power.
After a series of manufacturing-related difficulties were resolved, more than two weeks had passed, and finally, various materials were produced.
A large number of high-intensity beam generators were piled up in the center of the operation room, with many more materials being delivered.
The research personnel, including other technical assistants, began to use machines to manufacture the new space link devices.
Soon.
Two brand-new space link devices were assembled, one was placed two hundred meters away, and the other remained in its original location.
Then the linking work began.
Linking two brand-new space link devices was not an easy task. The most important part of the operation of space link devices was complex tuning; if even one beam generator within the device was misaligned, it would be impossible to link them together.
The reason commercial space link devices can establish links relatively simply is that they have an internal correction system to assist. ƒrēewebnovel.com
The new devices, with no targeted correction system, required manual linking. The interior of the new devices was very complex, even three to four times more than regular devices, and the linking task alone took more than six hours.
Finally.
The two devices were linked.
The theoretical group believed that something would definitely happen when a very stable channel was established and reached an extreme value, just as a gravity-reversal system would, after absorbing enough space energy, activate a gravity-reversal barrier.
However, after the experiment began, nothing happened.
"Connection normal!"
"Optical path clear, receiving information unimpeded."
And that was it.
Everything working normally was the worst outcome.
"Could it be that the strength of the channel isn’t enough?" Qiu Chengwen questioned skeptically, "We’ve only made technical improvements; perhaps we haven’t achieved a qualitative leap and can’t reach that so-called extreme value."
"Did we fail?" Edward Witten’s tone carried some regret.
Zhao Yi took a deep breath and nodded seriously, "No, I believe that something definitely happened; it just can’t be detected."
