Zhao Yi had never encountered such a situation before where he could conduct an experint but was worried about the risk of an accident causing a major disaster.
This wasn’t just a major disaster to consider, but even the possibility of endangering the entire Earth.
The thought of conducting an experint on Earth that was deed too dangerous was terrifying and deeply frustrating; the others felt much the sa.
As a scientist engaged in theoretical physics research, the most frustrating thing was the ergence of a new theory that could be directly validated through experintation, only to find that the experint could be very dangerous and could not be imdiately verified.
Such experints definitely couldn’t be done on Earth, but thankfully, with the rapid developnt of space exploration technology, other thods could be found.
Zhang Qican was the first to speak, "Could it be done on the Moon? The Moon should be relatively safe, right? We have plans for a Lunar Base, and we’ve already manufactured transport ships that could deliver the necessary equipnt straight to the Moon to conduct the experint."
"How long would that take?" Qiu Chengwen asked with interest.
Zhang Qican thought for a mont, "If we move quickly, two to three months should suffice, I guess? Of course, that’s assuming the experint takes priority."
Edward Witten expressed his surprise, "That quick? Your transport ships are ready? I’ve been following this, and it seems that you were planning to send a Lunar Base vehicle first, right?"
"Exactly."
Zhang Qican nodded.
Zhao Yi shook his head, "The Moon might not be safe either."
Everyone else fell silent upon hearing this.
It was the truth.
If there were any significant disturbances on the Moon, they would surely impact the Earth.
Even if there was only a slight possibility that the experint could threaten Earth and humanity, extre caution was necessary.
Zhao Yi said, "But there are still ways to do it; we don’t need to think too complicated. If the requirents aren’t high, it’s just a small experint."
"All we need is an Anti-Energy Barrier, a Z-wave Generator, and space link equipnt."
"If the experint were on the ground, a day of preparation would be enough, and it wouldn’t cost much either."
"To ensure safety, what we need is a spacecraft capable of deploying an Anti-Energy Barrier, distancing itself as far as possible from Earth before starting the experint."
"Our requirents for the experint aren’t high since it’s just a simple verification, so both the Z-wave Generator and space link equipnt can be the simplest models."
The others thought about this and nodded, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Edward Witten asked, "So, what about the spacecraft? I know Yixing has one, but I’m not clear on the rest."
"The Aerospace Bureau has one too."
Zhao Yi said, "There should be four spacecraft capable of deploying Anti-Energy Barriers dostically. Yixing has one, the Aerospace Bureau has one, the anti-gravity team has one for experints, and then there’s the cosmic spacecraft."
The cosmic spacecraft would certainly not be used for experintation because it was simply too costly to risk.
The anti-gravity team’s experintal spacecraft was unlikely to et technical performance standards since they mostly conducted near-Earth experints and lacked space shuttle experience.
This shortfall in technical standards was mainly apparent in the electronic systems.
Since the hardware installation was complete, upgrading the electronic systems would be very complex, necessitating specialized programming and upgrading.
This process would take a long ti.
Therefore, the anti-gravity team’s spacecraft could also be dismissed, leaving just Yixing’s and the Aerospace Bureau’s spacecraft.
Yixing’s spacecraft, the one used for the Mars Mission, was still in very good condition. After returning to Earth, it had been repaired and maintained, sitting idle at Yixing’s launch and manufacturing base.
This spacecraft had no imdiate missions and was most suited for experintal tasks.
The Aerospace Bureau also had a newly built spacecraft, modeled after Yixing’s technology. It was built from scratch, addressing so of the technical and usability issues that occurred with Yixing’s Mars-1 spacecraft and featured a larger space that could also serve as a transport ship.
This spacecraft was built in preparation for future ergency missions.
For instance, in the event of issues at the Lunar Base, it could quickly provide support using this space vessel.
Or if there were problems with the cosmic spacecraft, it could also facilitate ergency rescues.
And so on.
Basically, it was a spacecraft designed for space rescue missions and had no tasks for the ti being, making it suitable for experintation as well.
Zhao Yi still preferred using the Aerospace Bureau’s spacecraft, as their research directly involved Z-waves and space transmission, analyzing space and unlocking the secrets of particle transmission.
In other words, this was a fundantal theoretical physics research project, not research conducted for Yixing.
Naturally, such research should not be funded by Yixing, nor did it make sense for Yixing to provide a spacecraft for it.
Considering that a spacecraft’s value exceeded five billion, and that was just the basic manufacturing cost, excluding the technical value within.
If the spacecraft were to be sold abroad, it could easily fetch two hundred billion.
So, using the Aerospace Bureau’s spacecraft was preferable.
After the theoretical group discussed and agreed, they wrote the experintal proposal together. Since they were located in the building of the Science and Technology Departnt, they submitted the proposal directly to Director Liu of the departnt after they finished writing it.
When Zhao Yi went to deliver the proposal, he just handed it over to Director Liu and chatted with him briefly, talking about the hardships of work and the like.
