They were a great group of dedicated scientists who understood what they had to do. Even though many things were automated, they did not stop, writing down every little change or every little thing on a piece of paper on the side.
Every change could go a long way toward achieving the longed-for dream of these forgotten little scientists, so Klaus had to nod inwardly toward them at how disciplined they were.
Even when they shouldn't necessarily be on their toes, none of them took their eyes off what they were doing and had a good eye for noting small changes.
While that was happening, Jasmine had her own thoughts regarding her knowledge of that utopian theory and everything she knew about science.
Naturally, she knew they were going to fail. But that didn't take away from the fact that she was so imrsed, perhaps with a small glimr of hope that they might make so progress or that she might see sothing to help them.
But she couldn't notice too much, perhaps due to lack of experience.
Then again, Klaus didn't lack experience, but he did lack so knowledge regarding this world and cursed energy, so it wasn't like he could do too much to help them.
'They're burning a lot of cursed energy, and it's burning more and more. It's not being controlled properly, I think. Perhaps a breakthrough could be made if the energy-burning is controlled.' He thought.
He saw this energy as a fuel in theory. The problem is that when you burn fuel in this way and you don't have another large amount stored to supply what is burned, you will not have enough fuel to drive all the motion it requires at the final mont.
In addition, there is one more problem: when you burn the cursed energy, the atoms of it will mix with the rest of the energy and displace the other atoms out of place. For so experints, it was okay to do this, but for this experint?
It was like flipping a coin, but with a slant to one of the two sides, so it would be less likely to co out the other side. Because they would be trying to hit on the exact combination of atoms to 'create an existence' out of the cursed energy.
If one considers that atoms do not burn, then the probability tends to 0 or is directly 0.
At least, it would be so in Klaus' knowledge, but for now, he must be patient to know if his knowledge is correct even in this world or if the Laws of Physics have changed. He is aware that many things could change with the addition of so many new terms and energies.
As they waited, the minutes ran quickly, and occasionally, Jasmine and Klaus would talk to each other and walk to other sections to see from another angle.
"They're trying hard. It's admirable." Jasmine said suddenly, breaking the silence that held for the last 15 minutes.
Klaus nodded. "I didn't expect them to be able to work so hard on a utopian theory. They seem to take their work very seriously. They are good scientists, " he replied, and Jasmine nodded quickly.
"If all the scientists in my city or at least in my family were like that, maybe this place would be a better place to live. The advancent of technology and science must go hand in hand with the advancent of power." She said, shaking her head helplessly.
Klaus looked at her from the side. "Are you also a believer that there must be a balance between science and power?"
She looked back at him, surprised by his question. "That's right, we can't break the balance because we'll possibly get sidetracked."
"Hahaha." He laughed good-naturedly and nodded several tis. He didn't find it funny; on the contrary, he found it very correct.
"Correct. If we let the balance between knowledge and power break down, the latter will win because it is easier to attain. Then, the world will be plunged into millennial chaos, where the ancient age will prevail over us. The world will be plunged into chaos and disorder, where the law of the jungle will return, and all dialogue will end. When that happens, we will be dood because we will not know how to stop until only a few of us are left." He smiled broadly after saying this, surprising Jasmine.
"I didn't expect us to have such similar thoughts, Klaus." She smiled and couldn't take her gaze away from Klaus' beautiful pair of eyes.
Klaus smiled a little after hearing this and unconsciously raised his hands to touch Jasmine's cheeks.
"Maybe it's not just our eyes that look alike; there could be so much more."
They both smiled softly as they stared at each other. The beauty of the other eclipsed them briefly, causing them both to beco lost in each other's gazes.
Eyes so deep that, at this mont, they were unaffected by the artifacts the other wore. Both could see each other as they were as if they had no protective item dividing them, and that intense gaze sohow increased the friction between their auras.
Until suddenly, a loud explosion occurred to the side of both of them, bringing them to their senses.
They both smiled foolishly but being attracted by the explosion; they had no ti to think.
Several scientists were coughing there, but they did not appear to be injured.
What exploded was a large mass of energy, precisely the one in the container where they kept it.
'It was an explosion because the container couldn't hold any more. They seem to have forgotten what happens when sothing gets hot.' Klaus smiled at the thought of this.
What had happened was that the container couldn't hold any more, and with all that hot energy in there, it naturally needed to take up more space, so it ended up exploding the container.
Still, that seed to be a good discovery for Klaus.
'Density can increase inside the body, but not outside it. Or maybe it is possible to increase the energy density, but not when it is hot. I have to look at it and study it, but I think it's interesting. It could be an attribute of the sa energy as well.' He thought.
When the explosion happened, everyone naturally sighed and started fixing the things they had ssed up. At least they had the chords ready for the next ti they did it.
As they were all tidying up, Klaus and Jasmine approached.
Joan Sanner smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Will. We were confident in making a little more progress this ti, but in the end, we stayed in the sa place. We still don't understand what's happening, but we'll probably make it next ti."
At his words, those who had not greeted Klaus ca forward to greet him politely and said various things to him.
Still, none seed to understand what had happened.
"You don't need to apologize for that. Trying to complete a utopian theory with such care is admirable; you have earned my respect. Still, don't you know what happened? Do you always fail at this part?"
"Yes. We don't have access to the findings of the big scientists on this, so we rely solely on our own research on this, but we keep failing in the sa place." All the scientists sighed and looked at the exploded container.
The expense involved in this experint was incredible; it took them quite so ti to raise the required money. Between web enthusiasts and so sponsorship, they barely managed to get it this ti.
Although it was a utopian theory, people kept supporting it because it would present a substantial improvent in every way, especially for the private wealthy, who stood to gain a lot if sothing like this could be created.
That is why they always bet when the scientists registered in the project were renowned. And this ti, it was the sa. Thanks to private investnt, they were able to get the money, and if they advanced a little further, it could be considered a success, but it was again a failure and now irreversible for a long ti. That's why the sigh was so long.
Klaus nodded a little but frowned. 'Is there sothing I missed? I don't think they would ignore such a simple subject, so maybe because I wasn't watching, sothing happened that I didn't notice, and I misjudged them...' He thought.
As he thought, Jasmine looked at him from the side. She seed to be pensive.
A while later, when they finished cleaning up, the scientists ca over to where Klaus and Jasmine stood.
"Mr. Will, Lady, follow us. We will tell you more about the experint and the notes we grabbed this ti; while it was not fruitful, the knowledge gained is always welcod, and this ti, we realized more things than the previous attempts."
They started directing them to another place while actively talking about different things. They introduced them to the place, with its different partitions, machines, stored materials, and even the research they were doing.
The fact that Klaus was actively talking to them and not just listening made them open up more to him and Jasmine, though the latter's aura kept them from getting too close, seeming dangerous and proud.
None of them expected Klaus to be so intelligent in academics, so they felt at ho, and even the more reserved one contributed information.
After more than 1 hour, they started walking to where they would have the small banquet.
Then, Jasmine found an opportunity to talk to Klaus alone.
"Do you know why they failed?" she asked suddenly, surprising him.
He looked at her, a little confused by her question, but quickly understood what she ant.
"What makes you think that?"
"Your actions. Now, I'm sure you don't just feel interested in science; you know about it. And earlier, you seed to disagree with what they were saying regarding why they failed, but you didn't ntion it."
Klaus was surprised by her response. "You're good at reading people." He said, smiling a little.
Then he nodded as he looked at the rest of the group walking ahead of them.
"I think I know." He revealed.
