Chapter 1551: Chapter 733: The Inverted World!
Huang Hongguo was a very determined person, convinced that once he set his mind to something, he would follow through with great vigor and persistence.
After chatting with Qiu Chengwen about a few things, he realized that his lack of understanding of Zhao Yi’s experimental principles was due to missing some preliminary research data.
He immediately found the materials Qiu Chengwen had mentioned. freewebnoveℓ.com
These materials were fundamental to the research and did not involve any core secrets. Instead, they included overviews related to voidons, mathematical analyses of voidon transitions, analyses of the relationship between voidons and gravity, and so on.
Once he had obtained the materials, Huang Hongguo returned to the team’s base. There were more than a dozen people from the Communications Research Institute, and they were arranged to live in the office building constructed in the experimental zone. Single rooms with beds could also be used as dormitories, and only a few people lived in the office building, an entire floor was given to their team.
Since it was an office building, there was also a small conference room and a computer room for office use, so it was quite well equipped.
After Huang Hongguo returned to the base, he immediately called a meeting with everyone and announced that they would use the waiting time to study the materials they had acquired.
"Academician Zhao said we have to wait one week for the gravity generation device to be adjusted. I don’t know or understand why he has designed the experiment this way, and I don’t know how he plans to research and test the detection technology, but I believe there must be a reason," he said.
Huang Hongguo trusted Zhao Yi. He was confident but never to the point of comparing himself with Zhao Yi.
That was not confidence; it was arrogance, which to others would seem foolish.
So, once Zhao Yi determined the research direction, right or wrong, Huang Hongguo trusted there had to be a reason, especially since Edward Witten and Qiu Chengwen had explicitly stated they knew why Zhao Yi had made his arrangements. In other words, their lack of understanding was due to not following the related research.
Now, the materials in his hands were the mathematical content of foundational research, "As long as we understand these materials, we can know the rationale behind the experiment design, then we can participate in subsequent research, and offer some important suggestions."
"I believe none of you came here just to be a technician, right? We’re here to conduct research, and we hope to be part of this research and contribute our strength," he said.
"And to be part of it, we must first understand these materials, and then we will understand a lot more."
This was Huang Hongguo’s thought.
The other members of the team also looked at the materials with great enthusiasm. Most of them were experts in communications technology but believed they also had a solid math foundation. Being able to enter the Science Academy, their level was definitely not low. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Huang Hongguo was very pleased and expectant to see everyone so motivated.
After the meeting ended, he felt deeply frustrated because their suggestions had been refuted one by one, and Zhao Yi made decisions without considering others’ opinions.
Even more crucially, it seemed that several key members of the theory group understood the reasons behind the decisions.
And they did not understand at all.
Now, they wanted to prove that the team was indeed capable and not just there to provide technical assistance. They could also participate in theoretical research.

Suddenly,
A week had passed.
The large gravity generation device’s calibration was complete, and it was almost time for the first experimental test.
Zhao Yi invited many people from the Z-wave base to watch the experiment, claiming it was the first test, but in reality, the results were already out.
During the equipment calibration process, the core components operated as expected; they simply hadn’t been run together as an entire system. Since each part worked without issues, the overall operation was sure to meet expectations.
Before the test began, the equipment calibration team made a prediction, "It should exceed Earth’s gravity by more than five times."
"We have calculated for each aperture ring, and it’s roughly between 5.3 to 6. Considering the impact of the whole operation, I think it should be around 6. Exceeding the expected five times is completely unquestionable," they said.
That the equipment calibration team could make such bold predictions indicated that there was little suspense about the results of the experimental test.
Those who did not participate in the equipment calibration or the research of gravity generation were still very much looking forward to the results of the test.
The large device before their eyes was a gravity generation apparatus, rumored to create gravity exceeding that of Earth when turned on, which seemed quite incredible.
They were all filled with anticipation.
Huang Hongguo’s team was also on the invited list, as they would be involved in subsequent research on Z-wave amplification detection technology. The gravity generation device was also related to the study of Z-wave detection technology, so they were naturally allowed to observe the experimental test.
At the present moment, Huang Hongguo seemed to have lost some of his vigor compared to a week before, looking much more dejected, not as spirited as before.
What others didn’t know was that he and his team had endured a painful blow.
Together, they had grappled with the foundational math research mentioned by Qiu Chengwen, hoping to fully digest the content within a week.
And yet, they struggled right from the first day.
"Can anyone take a look at this equation and tell me what it says? And this section here?" he asked.
"Why does it seem completely incomprehensible to me? It seems to involve some prime number sequence, but how does it relate to topology?"
