Chapter 1501: Chapter 710 The Real Tornado Maker_2

"All right."

Edward Witten had little hope, but still pondered for a moment; yet he obviously did not believe and certainly could think of nothing.

So did Qiu Chengwen and the others.

In the end, it was Zhang Qican who said, "Why not try bringing the two devices closer together?"

"What do you mean?" asked Qiu Chengwen.

"Just bring them closer. Right now, the two devices are too far apart, several hundred meters away. We could put them together, observe them side by side; maybe then, we could make some new discoveries."

"Hahaha—"

Edward Witten couldn’t help but laugh, "Zhang, the spatial link has nothing to do with distance. This is basic common sense. How could you have such an idea?"

"But there’s no harm in trying, right?" Zhang Qican shrugged and said.

"That’s true!"

The others also agreed, since it was just a trial. Letting the two devices connect would only consume some electrical energy.

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "It’s a good method, worth a try."

Edward Witten shook his head silently, clearly not optimistic about the experiment, but it didn’t relate to him directly. The operation was the workers’ business, and they were just there to observe.

Soon.

The two devices were placed together, about ten meters apart.

Zhao Yi planned to watch from close by, but the workers advised him to stay back some more. It was just an ordinary spatial link, but since the equipment was brand new, there might indeed be developments that could pose safety risks.

Nevertheless, Zhao Yi still insisted on moving forward and stood ten meters away to observe, eventually having to wear a protective suit in case of accidental explosions.

The other researchers followed suit, donning protective gear and standing in a row near Zhao Yi to observe at close range.

Quickly.

The third experiment began.

The experiment merely involved the two devices linking at close range, and it proceeded very quickly, completing the connection within two minutes.

Then everyone watched silently.

Edward Witten, clad in his bulky safety suit, stood out in the crowd because of his size. His safety suit was custom-made, one size bigger than the others’, and looked somewhat odd.

At that moment, Edward was pulling at the corners of his mouth, looking around. He felt somewhat suffocated; the safety suit was not very comfortable to wear. With over twenty kilograms of equipment hanging on his body, he felt quite heavy.

Edward felt extremely hot and simply took off his facemask. As he turned his head, he noticed Qiu Chengwen beside him, his mouth agape in surprise.

The surrounding fell silent.

Then the commander’s voice was heard, "Move away, everyone move away!"

Qiu Chengwen immediately backed away, tripping over his own feet and nearly tumbling to the ground. Thankfully, Edward quickly lent a hand, and only then did Qiu turn to look at the experiment site, discovering a small whirlwind forming in the center.

"It’s just a small whirlwind," Edward subconsciously thought, but upon closer inspection, he realized something was amiss. The whirlwind was right in between the two devices.

If one called it a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence, and it just happened to occur as the connection began.

So this was very abnormal.

Edward Witten finally realized the problem and quickly backed away with Qiu Chengwen. The others did the same, some slowly backing off and others turning to run; however, they all kept glancing at the experiment site, noticing that the whirlwind seemed to grow larger, now about two meters in diameter and still expanding. freёwebnovel.com

As Edward Witten retreated, he exclaimed in amazement, "Have we created a tornado controller?"

The others shared similar thoughts, not having time to say much as they continued to push backward.

The experimental area was an open flatland, and after retreating about fifty meters, they felt somewhat safer.

Qiu Chengwen immediately stripped off his safety suit, panting and saying, "Everyone, take off your safety suits. If there really is a large tornado, we won’t be able to run with these on."

This somewhat humorous remark did not elicit laughter; everyone continued to watch the whirlwind while following suit and shedding their protective gear.

The whirlwind grew bigger and bigger.

Soon its diameter reached over ten meters, even enveloping the two devices within it.

At that moment, the commander finally reacted, yelling out commands, "Shut down the equipment! Shut down the equipment!"

After the equipment was shut down, everyone continued to watch the tornado in the center and discovered that the tornado was no longer expanding but instead was slowly weakening. Its speed also decreased more and more until it quickly disappeared.

"Whew—"

This was not a gasp of fright but one of astonishment.

Everyone felt incredibly surprised, as the occurrence of the tornado in the experiment was completely beyond their understanding.

"How could such a large tornado appear?"

"The surrounding area is mountainous; tornadoes are very rare here, and I’ve noticed something unusual. The direction it’s blowing seems to be downwards from the center."

"Could it be related to the experiment?"

"Of course."

"I don’t believe it’s a coincidence!" Edward Witten suddenly shouted, emphasizing, "Definitely not a coincidence!"

His serious expression seemed like a judgment made in the face of a major discovery.

Qiu Chengwen muttered under his breath, "Didn’t you just say that it was all a waste of time?"

"Hm?"

Edward Witten continued with a serious expression, acting as if he hadn’t heard anything.

Zhang Qican couldn’t help but laugh, but being the youngest, it didn’t seem quite appropriate, so he held it back and said, "This might be the situation Academician Zhao mentioned." Then he expressed his surprise, "But why? How could a tornado appear? This is indeed a big discovery."

"Absolutely a big discovery, a super big discovery!" the others said earnestly.

Although there were jokes during the discussion, everyone was incredibly excited. Using two space-linking devices, they had directly created a tornado, within which there must be some scientific principles that were not yet understood.

This discovery could surpass the Nobel-level, and researching its principles would likely go even beyond that.

Zhao Yi also felt extremely excited. He knew there was a discovery to be made, but he didn’t know what specifically.

Now he knew—

Space distortion.

The two space-linking devices, placed in close proximity, had created the effect of distorting space.

This explanation might seem complicated, but to put it simply, it was like creating a special kind of gravity.

Einstein’s theory posits that mass causes the distortion of space-time, which leads to the appearance of gravitational waves, and the Voidon hypothesis suggests that the overall movement direction of Voidons represents the direction of space distortion.

In essence, they mean the same thing.

For example, Earth’s existence causes the distortion of surrounding space and thus creates Earth’s gravity.

Now the two space-linking devices have created a space distortion with an effect similar to gravity. There was nothing in the space between the two devices, yet there appeared a special kind of gravity, one that was upward and downward. The strength of this gravity was not high, just about one-tenth of Earth’s gravity.

Although only about one-tenth, because the air above became heavier, other areas of space moved to fill in the space above, leading to the creation of the tornado. The driving force behind the tornado was the special gravity; after the devices were turned off, the tornado, having no basis to exist, gradually disappeared.

In some ways, this could indeed be considered a tornado maker.

When they first conducted the anti-gravity experiment, a tornado also appeared above the device, but the effect was not nearly as pronounced as it is now.

Now, instead of merely causing the air in the middle to float up, they directly created strong convective winds from nothing.

This discovery was truly astonishing.

Zhao Yi felt very surprised himself; he had not expected that the gravity system, which he had been studying without any leads, would be discovered under these circumstances.

"A tornado maker?"

"A gravity maker?"

"Interesting!"

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, and once everyone had calmed down, he immediately commanded, "Prepare for the next experiment right away. Place the two devices even closer, about five meters apart, and let’s try again!"

This time, unlike the last, everyone became much more active and their eyes shone with anticipation.
