At the same time, the number of cooperating institutions and laboratories performing auxiliary data analysis had reached thirteen, and the participating large-scale scientific research teams had expanded to eight.
There were also individual registrations from personnel willing to participate in the experiment, including top mathematicians, physicists, or computational engineers, among others. These individuals had also been approved and were able to partake in the experiment and were assigned tasks.
As this was an internationally collaborative project conducted openly, individual applications were allowed.
This would not affect the issue of technological secrecy, as the Z-wave technology was the key; matter transmission was based on Z-wave technology.
No external personnel, including domestic ones, would have access to the core Z-wave technology or Z-wave devices, eliminating the possibility of technological leaks.
The matter transmission experiment could be said to be of grand scale, drawing the attention of the entire global scientific community.
Before the experiments began, Zhao Yi didn’t even know how many people he had met; those he had to personally welcome were all top mathematicians, physicists, or leaders and heads of various major science and technology institutions, etc.
Finally, when the day of the experiment arrived, he actually had a lot more free time.
Because all the preparatory work had been completed, all that was left was to wait for the experiment to finish.
During the experiment, Zhao Yi didn’t even go to the command center; instead, he sat in his office waiting for the staff to submit the results.
The three experiments proceeded quickly. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
At nine o’clock in the morning of that day, the first experiment took place. The set light power intensity had been slightly increased from last time, and the result was still an explosion. freёwebnoѵel.com
Then, at eleven, the second experiment was conducted, followed by the last one at two o’clock in the afternoon.
When the third experiment ended, it was immediately apparent that there had been a significant breakthrough because the experiment only resulted in very weak transmission. Many of the detection devices didn’t even detect the particles, except for a few in the middle that picked up faint particle reactions.
This was the discovery of a light intensity power very close to the equilibrium point.
In the following week or so, there was continual data analysis of the three experiments, especially since the last set of data was crucial.
Through a series of data analyses, the matter transmission experiment team derived a numerical value that represented the relationship between photons and the area of the covered space. This was named the ’critical K value,’ with a range of ’6.328-6.330.’ The threshold range was already very narrow.
After all the experiments had concluded, the matter transmission experiment team held a large meeting attended by representatives of major teams, top scientists, and experiment leaders. As one of the lead scientists, Zhao Yi set out the plan for future experiments, "Moving forward, our experiments will go in two directions. The first direction is to study how to increase the matter transmission ratio."
"From the discovery of matter transmission to now, the highest transmission ratio has been fixed, without any change. But my colleagues and I are convinced that there must be a way to increase the matter transmission ratio, perhaps even to make it one hundred percent."
"The other line of work is to continue with the current experiment, focusing on the K value. The aim is to further narrow the range of K values, refining it such that for any number within the range used as a basis for experimentation, the number of transmitted particles would be negligible."
Zhao Yi didn’t say much, but every sentence was crucial.
After he had finished speaking, a buzz of discussion arose in the meeting room, with many scientists engaging in discussion. Their interest in the ’K value’ study was not that great, as they had already participated in similar experiments. The next step would be further narrowing the range, which was sure to be a tedious task.
’Increasing the matter transmission ratio,’ however, was completely different.
Just as Zhao Yi had said, since the discovery of matter transmission, the highest transmission ratio had always been a little over sixty percent, and it had never been increased.
The experimental group had tried many methods, but there was no progress.
However, everyone believed that the material transportation efficiency could definitely continue to improve; the right method just hadn’t been found yet.
The people at the scene also thought this way. It couldn’t be possible that upon the discovery of a phenomenon, the rate would be fixed; there had to be some method to improve it.
Finding this method was highly attractive. To put it bluntly, finding a way to increase the transportation rate meant gaining tremendous academic prestige and personal achievement. One could easily win various academic awards, including Zhao’s Science Prize and the Nobel Prize in Physics.
And so on.
It was truly too enticing.
——
After the first official experiment of material transportation concluded, Zhao Yi and the rest of the theoretical group continued their research on stabilizing the space channel.
They had already identified a research direction, which Zhao Yi had directly proposed, "Based on the Voidon hypothesis, we reconstruct the basic theory of space linkage. Perhaps this breakthrough can lead us to find a new method."
This task was very time-consuming.
Since the Voidon hypothesis wasn’t perfect, otherwise it wouldn’t be called a ’hypothesis’, to use a ’hypothesis’ as the foundation of an existing technology meant encountering various problems during research. To perfect it and find new methods was naturally challenging.
While continuing the persistent theoretical work, Zhao Yi also paid attention to the Aerospace Bureau’s Xuanhuang and the ’K02 Escort Ship’ test operations.
Xuanhuang and the ’K02 Escort Ship’, were two medium-sized space ships built together, with military involvement in their construction.
Xuanhuang was the main ship, and along with two escort ships, they formed the space fleet. The plan was to use them to transport leaders and VIPs, with the first task being to take Zhao Yi and senior leaders to the Lunar Base for an inspection.
This was a tense challenge.
The Xuanhuang, as the main ship, had quite advanced technology. It utilized a nuclear power device as its core, combined with solar energy transmission technology, to provide energy. With its nuclear power device, the ship’s power output was quite high. It could sustain a three-layer anti-gravity system and could initiate the space shield within five seconds, reaching maximum horizontal speed close to the ground at 200 meters per second, while in space, theoretically, its top speed could exceed ten kilometers per second. It could reach the moon within ten hours with its own energy.
The two K02 Escort Ships were powered by conventional fossil fuels, combined with solar energy transmission, and couldn’t initiate the space shield, yet they had temporary Z-wave Generators and comprehensive weapon systems, their technology was still very advanced.
The K02 Escort Ships might not sound like much, but that’s only in comparison to Xuanhuang. In reality, on a global scale, they were definitely among the most advanced; their hulls were made of high-compression materials, capable of autonomous take-off, equipped with advanced weapon systems, and could hover at high altitudes for extended periods. A single K02 Escort Ship, if used in war, could hold an invincible position.
Just think—
Such a medium-sized vessel could hover continuously for a month at altitudes of several tens of kilometers, equipped with a complete energy system, radar surveillance, capable of carrying a large arsenal of weapons, and could generate temporary Z-waves—the extent of its might was quite imaginable.
With so many functions, the K02 Escort Ship, of course, came with a high cost, the base price surpassing thirty billion RMB.
The Xuanhuang was even more formidable, its cost exceeding one hundred billion RMB.
To call the formation of the three space ships ’made of gold’ would be a modest statement.
Now, all three ships were undergoing tests, which would need about two more months. After testing concluded, they would carry out their first mission, which was to transport Zhao Yi and senior leaders to the moon, to inspect the Lunar Base.
