In the current Groom Lake Project Experimental Base, Empoli-Cubo has completely become a decoration. He is the nominal leader of the project team, but not many people pay attention to him at all.
To put it bluntly, he was left out.
There are several experimental groups under Cooper, and they are on the verge of disbanding because they have nothing to do. Many people have participated in Corana's experiment.
Korana showed his "big belly" side. He would not refuse anyone who wanted to participate in the experiment. As long as someone from the project team submitted an application, they could come.
When more people participate, more people expect the experiment to be successful.
In addition to the project team, the research also has support from decision-makers and the Department of Energy. Everyone agrees that the experiment has a high probability of success.
The preparation for the experiment went naturally very smoothly.
After a series of preparatory work, relevant agencies also dispatched nuclear research teams, and the newly manufactured equipment had a built-in nuclear reactor.
Their nuclear reactor technology is very mature. It only took three days to install the equipment and then ignite the nuclear reactor directly.
The next step is to install safety devices.
The research team still encountered difficulties when it came to installing safety devices, because the equipment is composed of four anti-gravity generating devices, and the field force is at the center of the four devices, so the safety devices must be placed between the anti-gravity devices and
Only between the central field forces can the smooth operation of the equipment be ensured.
The problem is that the gap between the two is very small, and various testing equipment must be installed.
The research team continued to conduct demonstrations and filled all the gaps with explosion-proof panels, but the safety assessment was still somewhat inadequate.
Some researchers suggested, "Mr. Korana, I think we should apply for higher safety materials, otherwise if there is an explosion inside, it may affect the anti-gravity device."
Korana thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's it. The first experiment is very important, we must conduct it as soon as possible."
"The internal explosion affects the anti-gravity device, which only affects the operation of the equipment. It doesn't matter even if the equipment is damaged. There are still several spare units in the base."
"We need to complete the experiment as soon as possible."
"With data, experimental results, and the discovery of antimatter, maybe we can get a steady stream of funding. A few devices are nothing..."
Of course he would only say this to his own people.
For others, he said, "There have been explosions and the precedent of the explosion experiment has been replicated. Even if there is an explosion, it will be controlled within safety devices."
"Don't worry."
"Everything is safe."
…
The scheduled experiment time soon arrived.
Several officials from the Department of Energy arrived that day, as well as several influential politicians and famous scholars, all of whom came to witness the experimental findings.
Korana shook hands with everyone enthusiastically and showed his firmness in science and confidence in experiments, making everyone who came very confident.
In the building at the project base, Empoli-Cubo has a bad feeling.
The officials and scholars who came here only shook hands with him as a symbol, and some even had a cold face, which could be said to be a complete lack of face.
He just felt depressed. When the experiment was about to begin, he still asked James, "Would you like to go over and take a look?"
"Not interested in."
James was reading the magazine with great interest and refused without even raising his head.
"Why? This is an experiment to discover antimatter?"
James raised his head and said in a logical manner, "First, I believe in the annihilation particle theory. Even if it is discovered in experiments, it will not be antimatter."
"Second, it's not our experiment, and any findings have nothing to do with us."
Cooper pursed his lips hard.
Of course he knew that the experiment had nothing to do with him, but there were many officials and scholars here, and he still hoped to get acquainted with them.
He is different from James.
James is a pure experimental physicist who relies on his academic ability to stay in the research group. However, he is not a pure scholar and must obtain support if he wants to lead experiments.
When Cooper hesitated, James reminded him, "I won't suggest you go. If the experiment succeeds, you will be fired regardless of whether you are here or not."
"Of course, they won't fire you directly, but put you in a marginal position without even being qualified to participate in experiments."
"Then you're marginalized."
"When everyone is about to forget, it's time for you to pack up and leave. Maybe it will only take a few months..."
James shook his head indifferently.
Cooper almost vomited blood after hearing this. He simply slapped the table and said, "I'm not going either." Then he sat down and muttered in a low voice, "It must fail! It must fail! It must fail!"
"Oh, God!"
"If their experiment fails, it would be best if there was an explosion, killing that damn Corana and letting him reunite with Prior..."
…
The experiment officially began.
Because an explosion will occur internally during the experiment and there may be safety risks, the experiment location was set five kilometers away from the base.
Scholars, officials and other personnel not involved in the experiment stayed at the base.
Langa Gobin Korana will not go directly to the experimental site. He will use communication equipment to remotely control the experiment from a distance of one kilometer.
This mainly takes into account radioactivity issues.
If you wear heavy radiation-proof clothing, it will be very troublesome to go to the site to conduct the experiment. The staff at the experimental site also hide in the radiation-proof room and conduct experiments through the operation of electronic equipment.
soon.
Preparations for the experiment are over.
After all departments reported their work, Korana directed the experiment to officially begin. The nuclear reactor was already operating stably. The experiment was to turn on the anti-gravity device and create a strong annihilation force field.
"Device No. 1 is stable."
"No. 2 is stable."
"No. 3 is no problem either..."
"No. 4 is normal."
All four anti-gravity devices were turned on normally, and a thin layer of strong annihilation force field was quickly formed in the center. The core of their technology came from the Anti-gravity Behavior Research Center, and they have made certain adjustments and improvements. There is no external magnetic field squeeze.
In the case of , the intensity of the annihilation force field created is 5.7 times.
Inside the field is a nuclear reactor, and the high heat it continues to emit quickly allows energy to penetrate the outer force field.
A staff member immediately reported, "It was detected that the surface temperature of the peripheral safety panel increased, and the energy intensity of the force field reached the limit..."
Everyone in the data room of the experimental base is looking forward to it.
What happens next?
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Four seconds...
Many people didn't even say anything before they saw the surveillance screen turn gray. Soon after, they felt vibrations under their feet, and then there was an explosion in the distance.
"boom--!"
Everyone was stunned.
What followed was a panic. Some people were so scared that they hid under the table, some rushed to the corner to hide, and some ran out quickly.
"what happens?"
"exploded?"
"Another explosion? Oh my God!"
"Look over there-"
Cooper and James are both in the office.
The first one of them was very calm, but then they felt a vibration under their feet, "There was an earthquake? How could there be a sudden earthquake?"
Then a loud noise was heard in the distance.
To be continued...
