Most people in the command center were disappointed with the experintal results since they did not find any obvious anomalies; this ant the experint had failed.
Zhao Yi’s statent rekindled their expectations, and everyone was waiting for the final outco.
The senior leadership also heard what Zhao Yi had said and began to ask incessantly, hoping to understand what a more significant reaction might imply.
Even a glimr of hope was good—it could herald even greater progress.
Zhao Yi was not clear about the specific reasons for this; he only knew it was directly related to spatial separation.
"Spatial separation," this term piqued the curiosity of Academician Chen Zeshu, the senior leadership, and others.
Most people described the device as anti-gravity, including the anti-gravity aircraft team; they knew they were researching anti-gravity technology but were unaware of the principle of anti-gravity.
Zhao Yi gave a detailed explanation, "In fact, the term ’anti-gravity’ is not correct. It should be said to be spatial separation."
"According to the theory being studied, the effect of the anti-gravity device is to cut off the compression of energy points to the power of 2 to the N, which can be simply understood as the repulsion of space against massive particles."
"Space has no up or down; the reason for the anti-gravity effect is simply because Earth has a significant gravitational pull, whereas on the other side, above, gravity’s effect is very weak."
"This is why I conjecture that a more substantial reaction in the experint is directly related to spatial separation."
Zhao Yi gave a detailed explanation and conducted a mathematical analysis, but only Academician Chen Zeshu and the anti-gravity expert group grasped it; most people could not understand.
But it was enough.
The top leader heaved a sigh of relief; he hoped for progress in the experint because most of the experints and projects involving Zhao Yi progressed.
If there was no progress this ti, he would have felt embarrassed.
Others would imply that his direct involvent led to the experint’s failure.
Of course, the experint’s success or failure had nothing to do with him, but many would bring up a hint of ’mysticism,’ as if it were a gamble, "How co the experint didn’t progress when you were there?"
Similar comnts could co in several versions.
The senior leader cared about his reputation; he wanted to hear, "I participated in the experint on-site, and there was a significant breakthrough!"
This would suggest the experint’s success was connected to him.
Elsewhere.
Academician Chen Zeshu, other academicians, and experts began to discuss physics theories with Zhao Yi. The concept of spatial separation ntioned by Zhao Yi was similar to Einstein’s space theory.
Einstein’s theory posited that mass-bearing bodies have gravity, which affects ti and space, causing spaceti distortion and, as a result, the generation of gravitational waves.
Upon deeper reflection and proof, the two theories proved to be quite similar.
"Could gravitational waves be caused by spatial compression?"
"Or is it that spatial compression leads to space oscillation?"
"Einstein’s theory may not be comprehensive; Academician Zhao’s explanation of space oscillation is more detailed. Starting from a microscopic perspective, the theory could be more complete."
"Einstein rely discovered gravitational oscillation; Academician Zhao is different; the microscopic perspective explains the principle of occurrence..."
The academicians’ and experts’ comnts seed to suggest that Zhao Yi had surpassed Einstein.
At this mont, of course, one must be modest and claim to fall short of Einstein, but in reality, it was due to the modesty characteristic of the Chinese people, not making comparisons to the ’ancients.’
Most did not believe Zhao Yi was inferior to Einstein. Judging purely by research achievents, Zhao Yi was at least not beneath Einstein; his outstanding research was in the theory of spatial separation.
At the end of the discussion, Zhao Yi definitively stated, "I cannot confirm why spatial separation makes the nuclear reaction more complete, but one thing is for sure, whatever the reason, if it can be discovered and utilized, it will definitely be a significant theoretical breakthrough and also a qualitative leap in technology."
This conclusion made everyone even more expectant.
However, waiting for the results was not easy. Nuclear experintation was different from other experints; subsequent detection was extrely complex. For now, only preliminary checks could be done; the final residues could not be retrieved until three hours later and would require about three days to analyze.
This was mainly due to the influence of radioactivity.
The senior leadership left with expectations, while the work of the experintal personnel continued.
After the nuclear reaction experint officially ended, the anti-gravity device was not shut down. The workers who went inside the device, wearing protective suits, experienced the sensation of "weightlessness." Reducing gravity by fifty percent made one feel light and floaty.
A worker imdiately shouted, "This feeling is incredible; it’s like being in the universe!"
Suddenly.
The workers behind could not help themselves; they all wanted to try the device. Even the anti-gravity aircraft team was very intrigued, asking if they could wear protective suits and experience it, sowhat neglecting the radiation concerns.
Command center.
Everyone heard the news, and Dong Lihua was the first to react, exclaiming in surprise, "Going up to the device seems quite safe!"
This comnt attracted much attention.
Chen Zeshu asked doubtfully, "Has none of you gone up before?"
Dong Lihua, not reacting imdiately, said bluntly, "No, because we were concerned about accidents."
Chen Zeshu imdiately took a deep breath and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "So, you didn’t shut down the device and let our people from the nuclear facility go up?"
"...Ah? This... "
Dong Lihua awkwardly twisted his mouth, as he had not grasped the implication right away. Hearing Chen Zeshu’s words, he realized that they seed to think he had used the nuclear facility’s people as guinea pigs?
Cough cough...
That seems to be the case, right? But it definitely wasn’t on purpose!
Dong Lihua hurriedly explained, "Academician Zhao didn’t say to shut down the device..."
"I did." Zhao Yi imdiately shook his head.
"When?"
Zhao Yi confidently stated, "I said it, the experint can be concluded, the anti-gravity device, that should be part of the experint, right?"
"...uh...haha."
Dong Lihua could only laugh awkwardly and indicate that he really didn’t do it on purpose.
...
After the official conclusion of the experint, except for those who needed to participate in the follow-up work, everyone else, including the anti-gravity vehicle team, evacuated imdiately.
The site would need half a month to conduct follow-up nuclear reaction clean-up work to ensure there would be no safety hazards due to radiation.
Zhao Yi then returned to Yanhua University but still pondered over the experint, because he hadn’t been able to observe the trial reactions up close and couldn’t collect enough data; he only knew that the reaction was more thorough and that it was directly related to spatial separation.
However, what specific relationship there was, he wasn’t yet sure.
Now he could only wait for the test results to see if they t sufficient conditions.
The process of waiting for the results was sowhat frustrating.
Zhao Yi decided to find sothing to do; considering he hadn’t taught in a long ti due to being imrsed in research, he decided to offer a public lecture to fulfill his duties as a professor.
Previously, the content of the public lectures had been organized and planned by Hu Zhibin.
This ti, Zhao Yi decided to prepare it himself; after careful consideration, he chose to explain issues in theoretical physics, but the content he prepared was more profound, and directly related to the mathematical frawork of particles.
The School of Sciences advertised the public lecture, and many students imdiately looked forward to it.
In recent years, the changes in the Yanhua University College of Science had been significant, with many students believing that research in mathematical theory was promising and that it had beco sowhat easier to find work than before.
One reason was that the university had established the Yanhua University Mathematics Exchange Center, similar to the Mathematics Science Center at Shuimu University, with the aim of nurturing talented students in mathematical theory.
Yanhua University’s approach was straightforward and crude: they employed famous mathematicians and physicists to teach at the Mathematics Exchange Center.
With a rich pool of faculty, they could recruit theoretical talent in mathematics and physics, and with so policy support for the students, rapid developnt was possible.
Also, the state gave it attention.
Zhao Yi’s influence was significant because he had so astonishing theoretical achievents, so of which had already been converted into technology; the nation paid more attention to theoretical developnt and allocated a certain percentage of funds to subsidize talent in mathematics and physics theory.
A substantial amount of direct living subsidies would encourage more talents to devote themselves to research in mathematics and physics, thus fostering the developnt of related institutions.
Zhao Yi’s public lecture was a great success; the course he ticulously prepared provided significant insights to everyone who attended, including so mathematics and physics professors.
It was another kind of satisfaction to educate and ntor.
Zhao Yi felt fulfilled and thought about offering more courses in the future; supporting the cause of education and passing knowledge on to more people was also very aningful.
Two days later.
He received so good news—the nuclear test residue analysis had yielded results, confirming a more complete reaction than anticipated.
The detection report ca with an abundance of relevant data, but this wasn’t of much help to Zhao Yi; he found that with his abilities, the conditions were still insufficient to understand the detailed cause.
"I need to see the residues."
"And the raw materials."
"Everything related to the experint."
After receiving the report, Zhao Yi made a request to the nuclear institute team.
Chen Zeshu found this puzzling, but since it was Zhao Yi’s request, he agreed right away.
The next morning, Zhao Yi went to the anti-gravity vehicle team’s base; he donned a full set of protective equipnt and examined all the materials, equipnt, and experintal remnants associated with the experint.
Wait a minute.
He saw many things.
Several people from the nuclear institute team, including Academician Chen Zeshu, were with Zhao Yi the whole ti, as they were still sowhat concerned about safety because the protective suits couldn’t guarantee 100% protection.
What if?
However, Zhao Yi believed that ’seeking conditions’ was worth taking the risk.
After inspecting most of the experintal apparatuses, materials and residue, Zhao Yi’s expression changed; he beca somber, serious, yet sowhat relieved, because he had t enough conditions and deduced what had specifically happened during the experint.
That was, during the experint, the atomic structure of the uranium material had undergone so ’loosening’.
Zhao Yi imdiately began to ponder carefully, "Is the weakening of spatial separation causing the atomic structure of heavy elents to loosen, or is it simply that the uranium elent used as material is experiencing a loosening of atomic structure?"
"Could it be that the weakening of spatial separation affects the strong force inside atoms?"
