Research base.

In the control room and the main laboratory room, everyone was very excited.

When they saw the gravitational field values, they knew very well what they meant.

That means they have developed some amazing technology. It’s not just a technical issue, it also involves some unknown underlying logic.

In the central pipe, the radiation characteristics of tritium decay under the interference of the magnetic field directly affect the intensity of the gravitational field.

Since the radiation characteristics have a direct impact on the strength of the gravitational field, increasing the radiation density will inevitably enhance its influence and increase the strength of the gravitational field created.

In this way, the purpose of adjusting the gravitational field strength can be achieved by adjusting the density of tritium elements.

Although the gravitational field strength produced in the experiment was only 1.19, which is only 1.13 more than the normal data of 0.06, it proves that tritium radiation intervention is direct and effective, and it is a huge improvement on gravitational field technology.

The original gravitational field technology can only create fields of fixed values.

1.13 is a fixed value.

No matter how the medium material lithium element changes, including the movement speed, particle activity, etc., as long as the gravitational field is created by relying on lithium elements and a magnetic field of a specific intensity, this value will be the same.

Now the value is not fixed.

Technically speaking, it can be considered a breakthrough from 0 to 1.

Many people have discussed solutions to enhance gravitational field technology. “We can adopt a layered design, design multiple layers of channels in the pipeline, and inject tritium into it.”

“We can also directly increase the number of internal pipes. Now there is only one pipe in the center, and we can add two or three. The only thing is that the ring pipe needs to be wider.”

“Directly increasing the density of tritium should be effective, right?”

“The outer wall of the central pipe can also be changed. The material given there is not the most suitable, so it can be further thinned.”

Some of them mentioned that the most ‘effective’ method is to replace the decay element material.

The element used in the experiment is tritium, which is not highly radioactive.

At this point in the research, it can be considered to a certain extent that the radioactivity brought about by decay is a key factor affecting the creation of the gravitational field.

If the element is replaced with one that is more prone to decay, such as radioactive uranium, the strength of the gravitational field will definitely increase greatly.

Of course, there is no rush to experiment with replacing radioactive materials.

We haven’t reached that stage yet, and experiments on radioactive elements will have to wait for some time, mainly because the safety protection system is not perfect.

Radioactive materials are extremely harmful to the human body and will also make experiments more dangerous, so the relevant time cannot be carried out at will.

……

Zhang Shuo also knew the results of the experiment.

The straight-line distance between his location and the experimental base is 10 kilometers.

Even if it is an ordinary experiment, as long as it involves new physics, he must stay 10 kilometers away.

This is the requirement from my superiors.

Everyone in the experimental base is a supervisor. If Zhang Shuo was present during the experiment, the higher-ups would not be able to explain themselves.

The straight-line distance is ten kilometers, which is considered to be out of the danger zone.

Ten kilometers is a long way.

There are no straight roads around the experimental base, and it takes more than an hour to drive ten kilometers along the mountain road.

When the experiment started, Zhang Shuo got in the car and slowly drove back.

The driver drove faster only after receiving a call and learning that the experiment had ended.

Zhang Shuo was too tired to complain. After hearing Yao Qiming’s excited report, he just said a few words in frustration, “I know.”

“You’re doing great!”

“I have made a discovery, which is great. I’ll tell you when I get back!”

While speaking, he remained very calm and the main experiment was under control.

Although the results are uncertain, it is normal to succeed. What makes him depressed is that he has to drive for three hours before and after an experiment.

opposite.

A group of people surrounded Yao Qiming and asked, “What did Director Zhang say?”

“Are you excited too?”

Yao Qiming put down the phone and looked up with a strange expression, “Director Zhang said he knows.”

“that’s it?”

“correct.”

“Nothing else?”

“He seemed very tired. I only heard him sound depressed. Maybe he didn’t want to run…”

Yao Qiming laughed as he spoke.

The others thought about it and shook their heads, saying it was just a gravity experiment with some changes.

The radioactivity of tritium is not high, there is radiation protection in the laboratory, and there are nuclear physics experts to help with safety supervision, so there is no danger at all.

But due to the mandatory requirements of his superiors, Zhang Shuo had to stay ten kilometers away.

The mountain road is crooked and difficult to walk on!
The car drove for ten minutes, going back and forth, and perhaps only went a few hundred meters.

Zhang Shuo was indeed depressed about walking on the mountain road. It was very uncomfortable to sit on the mountain road for more than three hours.

He was still very happy about the experiment.

Even if everything went as planned, it is possible that no discoveries were made. The experiment did not encounter any problems, and new discoveries were made, and they were creative discoveries, so he felt very gratified.

Zhang Shuo turned his head to look at the scenery on both sides, and couldn’t help but sigh and ask, “How long will it take? I remember this place…it won’t take long to get there, right?”

“Less than an hour.”

“…Ah~~”

When I came here, time passed quickly because I could see scenery I had never seen before.

Going back the same way, the feeling is different.

“Next time, we must arrange a helicopter. It’s too inconvenient to drive on the mountain road…”

Zhang Shuo still shook his head.

There is no problem in arranging a helicopter, but the problem is that it takes a long time to prepare every time you take a helicopter, mainly to put on various rescue equipment.

Safety suits, parachutes, and even ejection devices under the seats?

That’s off the mark!

It seems that the superiors are afraid that the helicopter will malfunction. There have been many incidents of helicopter malfunctions leading to deaths in the world.

No matter what, it is a protection for him.

What else can I do but accept it?
Zhang Shuo returned to the base feeling depressed.

After returning to the base, he felt much more energetic. Everyone in the base was very excited and they kept talking about topics related to the experiment.

“This discovery is so amazing. It’s a revolutionary improvement in gravitational technology!”

“In the future, the value of gravity will be controllable, and perhaps even counter-controllable. With further research, we can not only increase it, but also decrease it.”

“Yup!”

“We have created a periodic gravitational field, which means that gravity can not only be increased, but if used on a gravity spacecraft, it can also be used to reduce gravity for landing.” “This will be very simple, and the technology is single, the design and safety are greatly improved.”

“This is a huge technological breakthrough. I didn’t expect it to happen all at once. It feels like the base was just built…”

Yao Qiming, Xue Baikun and others gathered around Zhang Shuo to talk about the experiment and also produced detailed reports.

Zhang Shuo read the report carefully, and the progress of the task continued to improve.

The 100-point scientific research coin task was indeed simple, and soon the progress reached %, and he also submitted the completed task.

Submitting tasks will also bring great rewards.

The task of technical research is not to pursue its theoretical basis, the experimental results already represent everything, but it still increases the understanding of the technology.

First of all, it is clear that it is the radiation effect under the magnetic field that affects the strength of the gravitational field.

For radiation effect, the closer the distance, the better, preferably at the particle level.

However, tritium and lithium cannot be mixed together, otherwise they will be affected by the movement of lithium ions, making the gravitational field unstable.

Technically speaking, it only relies on the radiation effect itself.

Zhang Shuo had no intention of conducting further experiments.

When the experiment reaches this stage, the research is completed. They have found a way to increase the gravitational field, and the subsequent improvement of the field force can be handed over to other teams.

He immediately decided to start a second study, “We will study how to increase the range of the gravitational field.”

“This is also a technical study and I hope everyone can take it seriously.”

“Today’s discovery is important, and everyone knows it, but we can’t slack off because of it. The research has only just begun…”

Zhang Shuo said a lot of encouraging words.

He already has a specific plan for the experimental direction.

For research on expanding the range of field force, a very effective method is to replace the medium material, but changing the medium material is equivalent to changing to a completely new gravitational technology.

The technology of creating gravitational fields by relying on lithium can now be considered mature. Replacing the medium material and starting new research would be counterproductive.

The equipment at the experimental base is all built around gravitational field technology using lithium ions as the medium material.

So changing the material is not an option.

Zhang Shuo’s solution is not to replace materials, but to achieve more precise control by relying on the superposition of multiple levels of gravitational fields to increase the coverage of the manufactured gravitational field.

To put it simply, a circular pipe is filled with circular “small pipes”, just like a thick wire that becomes a series of thin wires that are not connected to each other.

From the perspective of conductor resistance, multiple wires connected in parallel do not necessarily have lower resistance than a single thick wire. However, if it is used to create a gravitational field, the situation is completely different.

The gravitational fields created by the two different ring-shaped pipes are different, and even the basic magnetic fields are the same.

There is a ‘magnetic field device’ outside the annular pipeline, and the so-called ‘magnetic field device’ is actually a dense coil on the outer layer of the annular pipeline.

When the coil wrapped around the pipe is energized, it will generate a magnetic field pointing in a single direction.

If the pipeline is divided into densely packed small pipelines, they will not share a magnetic field. Instead, densely packed coils will be wound around the small pipelines. This means that a large number of different and superimposed gravitational fields are created in the experiment, but the coverage of a single gravitational field will be much smaller.

In this process, more electricity is consumed, but the control is obviously more precise.

“Gravitational fields of different strengths cannot be superimposed, but the effects of gravitational fields in the same space, especially when most of them are in the same space, have not been studied.”

“The only thing that is certain is that such a venue will definitely have an edge effect.”

“But I think the edge effects will be weaker, not stronger, than if it were just a single force.”

The field force exerted in the same space and the overlapping edges of the gravitational fields of two different spaces will have very different effects.

Because there is only one space, the strength value after superposition will not change, and the layer between the edge of the field force and the conventional space may therefore become “thicker”.

Then the edge effect of the gravitational field will be weakened.

In addition, and most importantly, the gravitational field exerted in the same space is likely to “occupy space” and expand its range.

“From a fundamental understanding of gravitational fields, I think the end result is that the range of the gravitational field is equal to the sum of the ranges of each individual gravitational field.”

“In this way, the gravitational coverage area is expanded…”

……

The finalization of the experimental plan does not mean that the experiment has begun.

Before that, a lot of preparation needs to be done.

The most important thing is the improvement of the ring pipe. To manufacture many small pipes, cooperative work is needed to complete it, and it takes time to manufacture and transport them.

During this period, others continued to be busy with the debugging and testing of various equipment.

Preparations to deal with radiation from radioactive materials have also begun in the main laboratory and the base.

At the same time, everyone is still talking about the new experiment.

“Director Zhang has already drawn up a direction, but I still don’t understand. Can gravitational fields really be superimposed?”

“Why is the edge effect decreasing instead of increasing?”

“Why it’s not important, I won’t think about it that much. The most important thing is whether the next experiment can expand the range of the gravitational field…”

“It would be amazing if we could really do it. By increasing the intensity and the range, we can say that gravitational field technology has made a qualitative breakthrough.”

“By then, by pressing a small device in the aircraft, we can ignore gravity? Or even rely on gravity as power?”

“Ordinary aircraft won’t work. The energy source doesn’t support it. We still need a gravity aircraft. Can it carry that kind of energy that is said to be… low-temperature fusion energy?”

“That energy source is still unclear, there are only some analyses, who knows?”

“It should also be Director Zhang’s research…”

“Shh!”

“Don’t say too much about this topic. It must be kept confidential. Absolutely confidential…”

“In short, if it is applied to aircraft, the technology can be said to be perfect. Not to mention a hundred tons, even a thousand tons can be lifted. At that time, power and weight will not be a problem.”

“You think the next experiment will also be successful?”

The last sentence left many people silent.

A success?
It is incredible and incomprehensible that technical research can succeed at once.

Some of them have also participated in technical research, but each type of research takes a long time. Not to mention one experiment, it would be good if they could make a small discovery after ten experiments.

The speed at which research is progressing nowadays feels like a dream.

Yao Qiming said confidently, “You don’t understand. Old Xue and I have already told you that you must have confidence in Director Zhang!”

“I was the first one to follow Director Zhang. I was the first one to do the gravitational experiment. It was a one-time success. It’s hard to understand, right?”

“In fact, there is no need to understand.”

Yao Qiming raised his head proudly, “Just like ordinary people find it difficult to understand geniuses, Director Zhang is such a genius.”

“Can the experimental research he leads be the same as others? Otherwise, how could there be so many breakthroughs and discoveries?”

“We all felt that the experiment was uncertain, but Director Zhang had already figured it out.”

“Everything is under control!”

“Ordinary people like you, don’t think too much, just follow the experiment…”
