The main base was preparing for the second experint.
The afternoon experint, just like the last one, aid to form a spatial shield over the device. Learning from the previous incident of cutting the power directly, both the power supply and detection equipnt were arranged inside the device.
These had long been prepared, but the safety of the personnel inside needed attention.
When all the devices were positioned internally, it was certainly necessary for staff to operate them, including the command personnel. There were a total of seven staff mbers working in the central operating room and other areas.
As the experint was being prepared, the senior leadership personally t with the seven individuals and discussed safety issues, "You are all among the greatest figures on the frontline of scientific research. For the country, the experint is very important, but so is the safety of each person, which is even more important than the experint itself..."
"Chatter, chatter~~"
The senior leader gave a lengthy speech, essentially cheering everyone on and telling them how important they were, how grand their work was, and also emphasizing that safety was crucial and that they must pay attention to it.
If one were to only listen to the initial part of the speech, it might sound as though the individuals were going to be sacrificed.
Zhao Yi tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Don’t worry, as long as everyone stays at their respective posts and avoids touching the spatial shield, safety won’t be an issue."
Although Zhao Yi had spoken only a single sentence, his words were more reassuring than those of the senior leader. This was because both the anti-gravity technology and the current spatial shield were developed by Zhao Yi, so everyone trusted his judgnt on the safety of the experint more.
Dong Lihua also took the safety issue of the personnel very seriously. Everyone in the anti-gravity team was the elite of the elite. Even the lowest-ranking worker was a highly skilled technician, and Dong had developed several contingency plans for their safety.
For instance, a week’s worth of food was stored in case of any unexpected incident that might prevent the spatial shield from being shut down.
For instance, each person was equipped with protective gear against physical collisions, a sufficient supply of oxygen bottles, and manual firefighting devices.
Furthermore, every individual was also supplied with knives and firearms, with each firearm loaded with two bullets.
A staff mber ca over to report, "Director, the firearm check is all clear."
"Firearms, what firearms?"
Suddenly, the people around were full of confusion, and the senior leader, Zhao Yi, and others all looked over, their gazes even carrying a hint of vigilance.
Within the project group’s main base, only the security personnel dispatched by the military had the right to carry firearms. Those authorized to carry firearms were there for periter defense, not for the internal staff of the main machinery.
Dong Lihua hurriedly waved his hands and awkwardly explained, "I issued them, one old-style rifle per person, with two bullets each. It’s for personal protection, in case we encounter any danger..."
"What kind of danger requires firearms?" the senior leader asked with perplexity.
Soone had hit upon a key point.
The gazes of Zhao Yi, Ruan Wenye, the senior leader’s assistant secretary, and the security officers nearby all turned towards Dong Lihua, full of strangeness.
Firearms?
Props?
What use could these have? Self-protection? Does the main base require knives and guns for safety asures?
Clearly, it does not.
Then considering the research related to space and the ergence of the spatial shield...
Zhao Yi asked with a peculiar expression, "Director Dong, don’t tell you think that today’s experint could transport them through ti? Or perhaps you think the experint might summon creatures from other dinsions?"
A group of people looked over.
Dong Lihua laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his head as he said, "No, that’s not it... I just thought, just in case... you know, to be prepared, haha..."
The others couldn’t help but laugh.
The senior leader cleared his throat, setting the tone, "Well, that’s also a kind of asure, I suppose. Ensuring the personnel’s safety is definitely the right intention, but we still need to be careful with the firearms and collect them imdiately after the experint is over."
"Roger that!"
Dong Lihua puffed out his chest and saluted.
The main experint device was a hub of busy activity, all focused on testing the device components.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, all checks were completed, and the commanding officer declared that they could begin. The senior leader and Zhao Yi exchanged a few words and then crisply announced the start.
"Ready!"
"Activate the power system!"
"Start the detection equipnt, report from Areas A, B, C, D."
"Area A all clear..."
"..."
The experint began running the device at maximum power, turning all the high-energy beams on to their highest settings. The process was similar to the last experint, aiming to form an anti-gravity zone. Since the power was higher than before and preparations were targeted, theoretically, the ’spatial shield’ should activate faster.
Ten minutes into running the device, there were still no anomalies detected.
Dong Lihua quietly asked Zhao Yi, "Could the rotation speed of the device affect the formation of the spatial shield?"
The senior leader also turned to look over.
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "In theory, what directly relates to the energy absorption of the space is just the number of photons. The rotation speed would only affect the size of the anti-gravity area covered."
Dong Lihua continued, "Does that an the power of the beams has a direct impact?"
This ti Zhao Yi pondered for a mont and cautiously said, "We can’t be sure yet, but I believe that the effect of the power is still limited. There is no direct proportionality between it and the activation of the spatial shield; the relationship is an exponentially declining trend."
Dong Lihua was imdiately confused, "Then what actually has a direct impact on the activation of the spatial shield?"
