Chapter 319 Revolutionary technological breakthrough!
The new base has been built.

A lot of equipment is constantly being shipped in from outside and is being installed, tested, and debugged. A lot of work is being done.

The main laboratory is located in a blue house at the foot of the mountain, which is a bit like a factory workshop. The house is more than six meters high and looks large enough for gravity experiments.

The main lab is filled with equipment.

Material heating, ion acceleration, magnetic field control, data monitoring, etc.

These devices can be put together to create a gravitational field, and researchers and engineers are responsible for the work of their respective equipment.

The preliminary work mainly involves equipment debugging and overall testing, and gravitational field manufacturing is the final testing work.

For current research, gravitational field creation is the foundation. Only when we can create a gravitational field can we make improvements and experiments on its basis.

After Zhang Shuo arrived at the base, Yao Qiming helped to introduce the progress of the work. “The nuclear materials have been transported here, all sealed, and the military is in charge there.”

“The Nuclear Institute provided the relevant technology and also sent a special team…”

“All kinds of equipment are still being debugged. Judging from the progress, we will be able to officially start the experiment in about a month.”

Zhang Shuo walked and looked.

When he arrived at the ring pipeline being installed, he stopped and asked, “How many access devices have been transported?”

He was referring to the ring-shaped pipeline.

The annular pipe they used was about four meters in diameter, which was certainly not as large as a gravity aircraft, but it was considered large in the laboratory.

“There are currently two.”

Yao Qiming said, “We ordered three, but one hasn’t been shipped yet.”

“Don’t install the second one yet.”

Zhang Shuo said, “I want to research a technology while testing the equipment.”

“what?”

Yao Qiming was a little confused after hearing this.

Testing phase?

Research technology?
If we want to do a new experiment, don’t we have to wait until the test is over?
Everything must be stable before we can add radioactive elements, right? Otherwise, what if something goes wrong?
That’s radioactive material!
Zhang Shuo said, “It has nothing to do with our main experiment. I plan to study the technology of enhancing and expanding the gravitational field.”

“Uh……”

Yao Qiming didn’t know what to say for a moment. Doing a research while testing the equipment?
The research content is to enhance and expand the gravitational field?
By the way?

Strengthen and expand the gravitational field?

“Is this kind of research easy?” Yao Qiming really wanted to complain, but when he thought that it was Zhang Shuo who was speaking, he simply kept silent.

Zhang Shuo was just assigning tasks, he didn’t care what other people thought.

Expanding the gravitational field is a task that requires 200 scientific research coins, and the difficulty can be said to be very low.

Technical research is much simpler than theoretical research. The only disadvantage is that technical research needs to be verified by experiments and is directly linked to the experiments. Krypton coins can only tell you the main direction of the experiments.

Of course, as long as the experimental direction is correct, there will definitely be new discoveries in the experiment.

After performing the krypton coin operation, Zhang Shuo already knew the general research direction. However, in the first experiment, he was not considering increasing the field force range, but increasing the strength of the field.

Previous experiments with adding tritium elements have found that the upper limit of the intensity of the periodic gravitational field created is greatly increased.

To be precise, the upper limit of intensity is more than three times the Earth’s gravity.

However, periodic gravitational fields cannot be used to make gravity aircraft; what they need is a stable gravitational field.

The original experiment has already concluded that the periodicity of the gravitational field is related to the continuous periodic motion of tritium elements driven by lithium ions.

As long as the tritium element is stopped from moving, a high-intensity stable field force can be created.

“If tritium and lithium are mixed, they will definitely be affected by the lithium and keep moving.”

“Separating them might not be effective.”

“The key is, is the influence of tritium between particles or is it the influence of emitting some specific field force?”

Zhang Shuo prefers the former, but if it is the latter, technical improvements become very easy.

Eventually he also chose to build the mission.

【Task 2】

[Research project name: Research on technology to increase gravitational field strength (difficulty assessment: C).]

[Progress: 15.034%]

(The task can be canceled. Currently, the number of scientific research coins required to cancel the task is 0.)
(The remaining progress requires 85 scientific research coins.)
“C-level?”

“Easier!”

Zhang Shuo laughed when he saw the difficulty of the task.

For a C-level task, it can be said that the research is very simple, but simple research does not mean that it can be researched out. If it were another team, they might not make any progress for a long time if they couldn’t find the direction.

After establishing the task, Zhang Shuo performed the krypton coin operation again and obtained the main information.

The answer to the question just now was just as he thought: between particles.

It is difficult to carry out technical interference between particles.

However, the good news is that concentrated tritium elements have a certain marginal interference effect on the effects of media materials in a magnetic field environment.

“So, we need to add a pipe in the center, and the tritium will be placed in the central pipe.”

“The central pipe needs to be fixed, and it is best to use very thin materials, which also need to be able to resist heat, high temperature and high pressure.”

“Let 397 do it.”

397, and the code name of the cooperating factory.

Zhang Shuo’s experimental group only came up with a general plan, and the manufacturing of the specific equipment had to be done by the factory, which had a professional team to coordinate the work.

Their needs are not complicated, and they can think of many solutions, which can be implemented even if they are not perfect.

Zhang Shuo ordered the suspension of the assembly of the No. 2 ring pipeline in order to renovate the pipeline.

The No. 397 ring pipeline was transported from the experimental base back to 397. The team then studied solutions and made modifications. It was twenty days later when it was transported back.

Twenty days may seem like a long time, but it’s actually very fast.

The 397 docking team began to study the news after learning the news, and prepared materials after coming up with a plan. They solved Zhang Shuo’s needs as soon as possible.

From research to transformation, all processes are prioritized.

By the time the No. 2 ring pipeline is delivered, the experimental group’s equipment debugging process will be almost complete, and they will have completed a gravitational field test experiment, and they can immediately start new research.

……

The modified ring pipeline has been transported to the experimental base and installed.

Yao Qiming was responsible for a lot of work. Only after he had assigned tasks to other people did he have time to take a short break and stand on the small hill outside the base to look at the scenery in the distance.

Many people like to come to this small hill to relax. You can see the mountains in the distance on the hillside, and there is a small pool below, which forms a beautiful picture with the mountain scenery and trees.

Xue Baikun also came over. He noticed Yao Qiming sighing and couldn’t help but laugh, “Director Yao, what’s wrong?”

“Isn’t everything going well?”

“You mean work?”

“Really?” “I’ve never worried about my work. Director Zhang is in charge of the experiments and research. How can there be any problems?”

“What happened?” Xue Bokun continued to ask.

“Life! Feelings about life!”
Yao Qiming touched his cheek and said, “Didn’t you notice that I lost a lot of weight in the past two months?” He touched his stomach again, “Except for the fat on my stomach, the rest of my body has become thinner and darker.”

“For convenience, all the hair is shaved into a buzz cut.”

“If I go home now, my wife might not even recognize me when she sees me.”

This is what makes Yao Qiming depressed.

The good news is that he finally has new research to do and has become a core figure in Zhang Shuo’s research.

I am now working hard for my scientific research career. When I think about the work I have done, I feel that my life is very valuable and I am full of hope for the future.

The bad news is…

He went from being the experimental director of an international research center to being a caveman!

More than three months, almost four months!

We have established an experimental base from scratch here and are managing the installation and testing of various equipment. There will also be radiation risks in the future.

hey~~
He missed the past a little.

So, what the ancients said about misfortunes and blessings is indeed very reasonable!

Xue Baikun didn’t have so many feelings. He was originally from the military and had always followed Zhang Shuo around. He was much more able to endure hardship than Yao Qiming.

What now?
It’s just an experiment in an uninhabited mountain. If it were next door, in a large desert, or in an uninhabited area, the environment would be even worse.

He was silent for a moment, then said comfortingly, “Think positively, maybe you can go back in one or two years.”

One or two years?
Yao Qiming grinned and said, “Don’t fool me. I have more confidence in my research than you do!”

“What do you mean?”

“Director Zhang’s research will be completed very quickly. We won’t be staying here for long. We are just researching technology, not building equipment. Why would it take so long?”

“Are you so confident?”

“Of course!”

Yao Qiming said very confidently, “I am not confident in myself, but in Director Zhang!”

……

Xue Baikun had been following Zhang Shuo and thought he knew him well, but he still felt that Yao Qiming’s confidence was a bit too much.

Research on gravitational field-related technologies is not that simple.

Xue Baikun has a deep understanding of the theory. He believes that research related to gravity production is somewhat similar to chaotic force field experiments. It is necessary to accumulate a large amount of basic data and then analyze it to find out the rules and tap into potential technologies.

Therefore, research must conduct multiple experiments and accumulate a certain amount of data before a breakthrough can be achieved.

Now Zhang Shuo is researching how to increase the strength of the gravitational field, but the gravitational manufacturing technology has been around for several years, and there has been no follow-up work to increase the strength…

This shows how difficult it is!
In fact, he was wrong.

Gravity technology has been around for several years, but without the support of energy technology, gravity manufacturing technology is basically useless and cannot be used in the fields of aviation and aerospace.

Even if the research is to increase the intensity, it can only be applied in some industrial fields.

The problem is, gravity technology is kept secret.

Before the technology has increased to a certain level and its applications cover a certain field, gravity technology will not spread to the civilian field, otherwise confidentiality issues will arise.

Since it could not be applied, and Zhang Shuo had little interest in experimental technical research, he had never invested any energy in it.

It’s different now.

Liu Zhiwen’s team has created a real gravity spacecraft, and they must improve gravity technology in order to enhance the performance of the spacecraft.

Zhang Shuo is also very interested in gravity spacecraft, so he wants to conduct technical research.

This year was the first experiment and he was very dedicated and well prepared. He personally arranged various tasks and paid attention to the debugging data of various equipment.

Now, every part of the modified ring pipe and the newly installed central pipe is checked personally to ensure that there are no problems.

Then, the experiment began.

The first experiment can be classified as a ‘test experiment’ to test whether the new pipeline can produce a gravitational field. As long as it can produce a gravitational field, it is acceptable even if there are no other discoveries.

Many people think so.

When the equipment was actually started and the computer received the data from the gravity measuring device, many people in the control room couldn’t help but exclaimed, “1.19?”

“so tall?”

“Is it a detection error? It should be 1.13…”

“So, the experiment was successful?”

“Yup!”

Everyone reacted.

The experiment used a modified annular pipe with a central pipe installed inside, inside which was stable tritium element.

The purpose of doing this is to detect whether the tritium element in the pipeline will affect the creation of the gravitational field under the magnetic field environment.

Many people think it is unlikely because tritium and lithium ions are separate, and the effect of decay on gravity is at the particle level.

Even if it can have an impact, can it be measured in the first experiment?
This is too exaggerated!
Now something exaggerated happened. The gravitational field strength measured in the first experiment reached 1.19.

1.19 is not much higher than 1.13, but the key point is not how much higher it is, but that the experiment has proved that in a magnetic field environment, the tritium element in the central pipe can increase the strength of the gravitational field created.

This conclusion is crucial!

After concluding the influence of tritium, we can modify the interior of the annular pipe. For example, we can add many thinner pipes to increase the contact area between the edge of the tritium element and the internal lithium ions, so that the gravitational field can continue to be strengthened.

If it is designed in a scientific way and the control inside is made more precise, the strength of the gravitational field will continue to increase.

In other words, they found a technical way to increase the strength of the gravitational field!
It turns out that the intensity of a steady-state gravitational field is fixed.

1.13 is one of the fixed values.

Now we can continue to increase on this basis, which not only increases the strength of the field force, but also represents the development of an ‘adjustable’ gravitational technology.

This can be completely described as a ‘technological leap’ or a ‘technological revolution’!

“Intensity 1.19?”

“Sure enough, I found it in one go!”

In the main laboratory, Yao Qiming was more excited than the others. The corners of his mouth curled up in excitement. “Old Xue is not here. What a pity!”

“I’ll definitely talk to him!”

“You have to trust Director Zhang. What’s wrong with Director Zhang’s experiment?”

“Once, success!”

“Research, it’s that simple!”

“…”
