"I’m certain sothing must have happened!"
Zhao Yi’s tone was so resolute that it astonished the others.
The people beside him all looked over.
Without offering an explanation, Zhao Yi simply stood in place, pondering. "Law of Cause and Effect" had concluded that ’there was a new discovery,’ yet it was unspecified what that discovery was.
In the face of insufficient conditions, the search had to continue.
"Redo the linkage!"
After thinking for a mont, Zhao Yi said, "This ti, perform the linkage within a sealed area, whether it’s the output or the terminal end, both must be sealed and the range fixated, to see if material transmission will occur."
This explanation made the others realize the importance and, filled with zeal, they began preparing for the second experint.
A sealed experint is not a vacuum experint, so the preparations were relatively simple—there was just the need to ensure that two completely airtight rooms prevented any air circulation, with only single types of materials placed within the range of the experint.
With a series of preparations in place, should material transmission occur, they would be able to imdiately identify it.
The experint took over two hours to set up, and the participating staff were filled with anticipation.
Edward Witten asked with keen interest, "Zhao Yi, will material transmission really occur? That would be miraculous. We haven’t done anything except establish a connection. If material transmission still occurs, it would be an incredible discovery."
Qiu Chengwen also nodded and said, "Yes, indeed. If material transmission truly occurs, it would be astonishing. It would herald a revolutionary change in our theories."
Zhao Yi said, "Don’t get your hopes too high. Material transmission might not necessarily occur. I just want to try and see, it’s a possibility. "
Although Zhao Yi emphasized the word ’possibility,’ this still raised great expectations amongst the others, who hoped that transmission would indeed take place.
This would mark significant progress in the research of material transmission experints and would also further refine the energy and space research and the Voidon hypothesis theories.
Soon.
The experint comnced.
In the sealed area, once the two devices were adjusted, they were directly linked. After waiting for approximately ten minutes, the linkage was closed, and inspection began.
After more than an hour of continuous inspection, the staff reported a regrettable piece of news, "Nothing at all."
"Academician Zhao, we’ve conducted thorough inspections of both areas, and everything is normal. There has been no transmission, nor any other occurrences."
"Is that so?"
Zhao Yi listened, his brow furrowed tightly.
What could the new discovery be if not material transmission? He was sowhat at a loss, even slightly anxious.
The new discovery was right in front of him, yet he couldn’t figure it out.
The feeling was terrible.
The participants of the experint began to discuss. Optical expert Zhou Heng said, "Perhaps it’s still a problem of insufficient power. Our newly developed light beam emitter has a very high power density, but to affect space to the required degree, it seems we’re missing an order of magnitude."
Qiu Chengwen added, "That’s true. The generators inside have a power density gap compared to the surface of the sun. Maybe if we continue to increase the intensity of the light beam, we can reach that critical value."
Edward Witten patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder, offering consolation, "Don’t take it too hard. It’s only one experint. It’s normal not to find anything. Most exploratory research around the world fails; only a tiny fraction succeeds."
Another, Professor Deng Jiacheng added, "Yes, Academician Zhao, don’t worry too much. Research in physics is like this. We have already achieved a lot, having broken through in theoretical physics, constructing new experints from theories, and already achieving success after success."
"The advancent of any technology requires ti to mature; success doesn’t co just from having the idea."
The two continuously offered words of encouragent.
Zhao Yi’s expression remained unchanged. He just looked at the equipnt in front of him with furrowed brows and continued, "I’m certain sothing has happened; we just haven’t discovered it yet."
After exchanging glances with Qiu Chengwen, Edward Witten stepped up and continued, "Zhao Yi, oftentis, gut feelings are wrong. If sothing new had occurred, why haven’t we seen it? All the test data are normal."
After saying this, he glanced at Zhang Qican, seemingly wanting him to add his own words of persuasion.
But Zhang Qican said, "I trust Academician Zhao’s judgnt."
"——??"
Edward Witten appeared surprised, not expecting Zhang Qican to support Zhao Yi and imdiately asked, "Why?"
"There’s no why," Zhang Qican stated affirmatively. "It’s because Academician Zhao’s judgnt has always been correct."
"——"
Edward Witten felt he had run out of things to say, taking a while before managing to retort, "We’re conducting research in physics, not idolizing a star."
Zhang Qican simply shook his head, not replying.
In recent years, as he had been conducting research with Zhao Yi, he had co to understand from his years of experience that whenever Zhao Yi made a judgnt, it was definitely correct.
Mistakes?
They simply didn’t exist.
He didn’t need to weigh thoughts about intuition or right and wrong; all he had to do was trust in Zhao Yi.
When Zhao Yi stressed that ’sothing had happened,’ Zhang Qican pondered the sa issue. While talking with Edward Witten, he simply said, "Otherwise, let’s think about how to design the experint, or consider where there might be sothing we haven’t discovered yet."
