The explosion accident at the Amerikan military F-ray experimental base caused a total of 9 deaths and 37 injuries. More than 100 people were at risk of serious nuclear exposure.
At the same time, it also directly caused economic losses of more than 5 billion US dollars.
Among the dead and injured, 13 were members of the Groom Lake Project research team, and the other 33 were scientists employed by the military, from the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Fermilab, and the California Institute of Technology.
Physics laboratories and other institutions.
Among them, the four most important people are recognized as the world's top physicists, and the most influential one is Prior.
As a scholar, Prior was invited to serve as the project leader, which shows how influential he is in academics. He is the world's top physicist and has made many contributions in the field of theoretical physics, including annihilation theory.
He has published more than a dozen papers.
Even in the Groom Lake project team, Prior is the well-deserved number one among the scientists.
In terms of administrative positions, Prior is the second person.
Corot James also had a great personal influence, but mainly because of his discovery of F-rays, before which he was invited by Cooper to serve as the leader of the experiment.
In the academic field, James is still much worse than Prior.
What now gives the accident investigation team a headache is that Prior died on the spot during the experiment, and he was the closest to the explosion and the one who died the most tragically. The other core scientists were either dead or injured. Can they find an explanation for the cause of the explosion?
They are just people outside the experiment.
For example, Abraham Jefferson, who was engaged in nuclear physics research, and his team were responsible for providing technical support for nuclear reactors.
For example, Deng Jiasheng, an electromagnetic expert at Fermilab, is responsible for the outer electromagnetic equipment.
For example, Adams Perrier is the leader of the engineering team and is directly responsible for the debugging and installation of various equipment.
The investigation team immediately questioned several people.
Abraham Jefferson was just glad that he had escaped. When the experiment was being carried out, he was watching it from a close distance. Suddenly, the institute called. He saw that the equipment was operating normally and nothing could be seen outside, so he walked out of the experiment.
I went to the room to answer the phone.
Now he is extremely grateful to the supervisor Felipe who called.
After the explosion, Abraham immediately put on radiation protection clothing and went to the scene to investigate. When asked by the investigator, he shook his head and said, "I don't know the cause of the explosion."
"There are many traces of nuclear reactor material fragments at the scene. I asked other people and the amount of radiation in the air was only mid-range and not consistent with a nuclear explosion."
"To put it bluntly, this was not a nuclear explosion, I'm absolutely sure."
"In fact, it is theoretically impossible. The uranium we use has an abundance of only 20%. Only when the material abundance exceeds 85% can an explosion occur."
The next answer was electromagnetic expert Deng Jiasheng, who said, "I don't know the reason. If it wasn't a nuclear explosion, then the explosion seemed to have occurred out of thin air."
"In the few seconds before the explosion, we only measured a rapid rise in the temperature of the magnetic field equipment, which was the escape of the heat source of the built-in nuclear reactor."
"But this is not the reason for the explosion. The magnetic field equipment will at most cause circuit problems and will not cause an explosion."
Adams-Perrier participated in the entire experiment, but his participation was in the monitoring room, constantly looking at the parameters of various equipment.
He said fearfully, "I am extremely lucky to be in the monitoring room now, otherwise I would also..." He took a few deep breaths as he spoke, "The various tests we conducted before the experiment were all normal. After the explosion,
There was a problem with the magnetic field equipment seconds before it happened."
"My first reaction at the time was that there might be a nuclear radiation leak. I never thought there would be an explosion."
"That doesn't make sense at all."
He then talked about the experimental process, "At that time, there was a problem with the magnetic field equipment, and Prior went over to check. I didn't understand what he wanted to see, but I reminded him not to get close..."
"I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Adams-Perrier covered his eyes hard and sighed, "That scene was so tragic. I really wish it had never happened."
"I think (it) will remain in my memory forever."
The investigator twitched his lips hard as he listened. He was not targeting Adams Perrier, but thinking that there was something wrong with the experimental equipment. Perrier didn't walk away immediately, but even got closer to see the condition of the equipment?
"He... is really great!" It took the investigator a long time to sigh.
His assistant added, "Perhaps 'stupid' is the right word to describe it."
"In short, he is dead."
"We cannot criticize a dead person, and he is a famous scientist. We can only say that he was great..."
After some inquiries, the investigation team still could not find out the cause of the explosion.
They can only record it temporarily, and when they go back to make a report, they can apply for several professional scientists to join the team, otherwise they will not be able to investigate anything at all.
…
It is impossible to keep the news secret about such a major accident.
One reason is that there is a small town about ten kilometers away from the F-ray R&D base, and everyone in the small town heard the explosion.
Second, there were too many deaths, and they were all top scientists.
The media got the news quickly.
Although the military tried its best to reduce the spread of relevant news, it had no effect at all. Many media reporters rushed over to do interviews, and the Internet was flooded with a large amount of relevant news. Even if reporters could not interview, there were various
Such reports.
"F-rays", "explosion", "strong annihilation field", "many people died", "F-rays are dangerous", etc. have become hot words on the Internet.
After a large number of reports appeared, international public opinion also became excited.
"The research on F-rays will lead to a big explosion!"
"It was said to be a nuclear explosion. The research team placed an atomic bomb inside, but they could not control it and an explosion occurred on site."
"There is also news that it was not a nuclear explosion. It seems to be related to the annihilation field."
"Whether it's a nuclear explosion or not, research is very dangerous."
"We should protest and resist this kind of research that may destroy the world. This time only a dozen people died, but next time we won't be so lucky."
"..."
These public opinions have put pressure on the F-ray research group and higher-level departments.
An official came forward and said, "The cause of the accident is still under investigation."
"The only thing we can be sure of is that the cause of the explosion has nothing to do with nuclear explosions. But because the accident involves high-end research, everyone still needs to wait with peace of mind..."
This statement makes little sense.
What followed was a lot of protests, with many people holding spontaneous demonstrations and calling for a boycott of F-rays and research related to strong annihilation force fields.
Some sensible people hope that the cause of the accident can be made public.
The problem is that the investigation team can't find the cause at all. The military leader has asked several top scientists to join the team, but no matter how they investigate, there is no result.
In fact, just like the initial inquiry, all that can be determined about the accident is that it was "not a nuclear explosion", but it was just an equipment problem. Why did it cause such a strong explosion?
They couldn't find the cause of the explosion at all.
A group of scholars discussed and discussed, but they could only come to one conclusion: "The explosion was caused by the escape of energy, but its principle is probably related to the strong annihilation force field."
If energy escapes, it will normally only cause damage to the equipment.
Even if the device itself explodes, it cannot be so violent. Just like a computer, the power of the explosion is controllable.
The current explosion cannot be explained at all.
After scholars came to the conclusion, many people felt that they should ask flower growers. Only flower growers have the most complete theories and techniques.
In this regard, the Antigravity Behavior Research Center is the most professional.
Amrican also knew that the investigation would not yield results, but instead of making a normal inquiry, a politician came forward and said, "The explosion is directly related to the flower grower."
"This is their conspiracy!"
"Some of these technologies come from flower growers. Obviously, they concealed some content related to security issues..."
Faced with a large amount of dirty water being thrown at them, the flower growers would naturally retort, "We are the cause of the accidents that occurred during experiments conducted in Amrican..."
"This is such a big joke!"
"It's a pity that April Fool's Day has to wait a few months."
"Regarding the explosion accident, we know from public information that the direct cause of the explosion was the escape of the heat source of the built-in nuclear reactor, and the technical description we gave clearly marked the maximum limit of the built-in heat source."
