Chapter 327: New physical phenomenon: eye-catching darkness!
"Mr. Carter, it's not that easy to discover new physical phenomena. That's how scientific and technological research is. If you succeed once a hundred times, it's amazing!"
"We have sufficient theoretical and experimental preparations for this experiment. It is just the first time to conduct the experiment."
"We will continue to increase the magnetic field strength in the future."
"Moreover, it's not like we haven't found anything. Some materials have a greater magnetization response through superimposed force fields..."
"..."
Several researchers patiently explained to Grant-Carter for a long time.
In fact, they were unwilling to explain more, especially when an official from the Department of Energy explained that the other party was former famous football player Glen Carter.
Some of them looked down on Grant Carter from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that he was a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs who only relied on his reputation as an athlete to get a job in the Department of Energy.
But Grant-Carter was a representative sent by the Department of Energy, and the funds required for the experiment were directly allocated by the Department of Energy.
In experimental research, the one who pays is the boss!
The Department of Energy, which spends huge sums of money to support experimental research, can make those involved in research bow down, but not everyone can bow down to their work.
There was a hot-tempered researcher who sarcastically said, "Mr. Carter, scientific research is different from a football game. Not every time there is a winner or a loser!"
Grant Carter's anger suddenly rose.
He felt very angry before. He was sent by the Department of Energy to observe the experiment. He originally wanted to witness the history of science, but he stayed in the safe house for more than half an hour and nothing happened.
That would be tantamount to witnessing failure.
Grant Carter's feeling is a bit like watching a football game. Even though he was once a football player, now he is a real spectator and he will support his favorite team during the game.
It was originally a must-win game. After victory, you can get the championship trophy...
The results of it?
Lost!
Every spectator will be angry at the game and at the players involved, especially those who make mistakes.
Grant Carter would not quarrel with ordinary researchers. He went directly to Val Cronin and asked loudly, "Why did this experiment fail?"
"Mr. Cronin, you should know how important the experiment is. Everyone is paying attention, even Mr. Selva (Minister) is paying attention to your experiment."
"The equipment manufacturing alone cost nearly 300 million U.S. dollars. 300 million U.S. dollars. Do you know how much money that is?"
"Tell me, if the news of the failure of the experiment spreads, how will we explain it to the taxpayers?"
Val Cronin also has a bad temper.
He is a well-known expert in superconducting applications and is respected wherever he goes. He was also hired by the president as a national science adviser. As a result, after becoming the head of anti-gravity research, he only felt pressure.
The current experiments have found no results, and the pressure we are facing is even greater. When I hear the doubts from a former rugby player, I feel like I have been humiliated.
Val Cronin immediately retorted loudly, "Mr. Carter, you have to know that we are only continuing Rohrer's research, and the plan submitted previously was approved by the Department of Energy."
"This is not an experiment that our team is optimistic about, but an experiment that the whole world is optimistic about."
"Before I became the person in charge, Rohrer received support from the Department of Energy and was already preparing to form an international academic organization to jointly fund the manufacturing of equipment for research."
"Later, the Ministry of Energy believed that the research had a certain degree of confidentiality and decided to invest unilaterally."
"I'm just continuing to work."
Val Cronin spoke word by word. He stared into Grant Carter's eyes and continued seriously, "In addition, you should know the news some time ago. The flower grower, Wang Hao's team, also
Start manufacturing superposition force field equipment."
"If this direction is wrong, even Wang Hao has gone into a misunderstanding. Our experiment has no results. Is it any wonder?"
"..."
As Val Cronin said before, Grant Carter always listens in one ear and hears it in the other. No matter what, Cronin is the leader of the experimental group. After a large amount of investment, the experiment has not made any progress, and he will definitely have to bear a certain responsibility.
Responsibility.
But the last sentence seemed very reasonable to Grant Carter.
That’s Wang Hao!
Wang Hao's team is making superposition force field equipment. If the research direction is really wrong, it doesn't seem to be a big deal if they and Wang Hao make mistakes together?
Grant Carter breathed a sigh of relief.
Val Cronin vented his anger and felt a little better. He explained patiently, "Actually, our experimental research has just begun. Although we have not seen any new physical phenomena, many physical phenomena are based on
To detect it, rather than to see it with your eyes.”
"The experiment is over, but the data analysis has not yet been completed. Maybe some new physical phenomena have appeared, but we have not analyzed them yet..."
Although what he said seemed reasonable, it was really just to comfort Grant Carter.
Val Cronin also knew from experience that they did not find anything, and subsequent data analysis would not yield results. He could only think, "I hope there will be discoveries after strengthening the magnetic field!"
"Fortunately, Wang Hao's team is also creating a superimposed force field..."
"This can be considered a reason for the failure of the experiment!"
…
Many people are paying attention to the experimental research of Val-Cronin's team, especially in the physics circle. Some top scholars are constantly asking for information, and they hope to know the results as soon as possible.
That is a new physical discovery, and it may represent the direction of future research and development.
However, there was still no news from the laboratory. Only three short days later, the relevant analysis conclusions were released. "The delay in making the news public means announcing a failure!"
This statement has received a lot of support.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, it is just like rumors on the Internet. After some rumors spread, there has been no relevant information to refute the rumors, and no key evidence can be found to prove that they are rumors.
This will cause the rumors to spread faster and faster, and more and more people will believe them.
"The experiment failed" is just a piece of speculation, but neither Val Cronin's team, Los Alamos Laboratory, nor other relevant people have come forward to express opposition. Naturally, more people will believe it.
, the experiment definitely found nothing.
Soon the news spread to the country.
Putting aside academic and public opinion discussions, there are three teams in China that specialize in annihilation force research. In addition to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, there is also a team from the Condensed Matter Physics Research Center and a team from the Superconducting Laboratory of the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences.
These two teams did not have any major achievements, but they still had some small achievements. They were mainly engaged in research on anti-gravity field characteristics, and would also be assigned some projects related to anti-gravity field properties.
The most important thing in the direction of antigravity right now is the study of strong annihilation force. The new physical phenomena that may be brought about by large superposition force fields have received widespread international attention, and they will naturally pay attention to it.
After knowing that Val-Cronin's team had no results, they also began to worry about Wang Hao's research, and quickly asked in various ways, "There are no new discoveries from Cronin, Academician Wang, do you want to continue?"
?”
"certainly."
Wang Hao's answer was very certain, "Don't look at Cronin, they are different from us."
There was no reply after that.
His work is very busy. The Antigravity Behavior Research Center is assembling and testing high-pressure hybrid material antigravity standard equipment, and the Antigravity Aircraft Research Base is assembling and testing the second prototype.
Both research centers are assembling test equipment, which involves a lot of complex work and encounters various problems every day.
Wang Hao invested more energy in the assembly of high-pressure mixed material anti-gravity standard equipment, mainly because the equipment components had already been shipped. They tested each component and then carefully assembled it together.
After the overall debugging of the equipment is completed, the experiment can be started.
This progress is definitely not comparable to that of Val-Cronin's team, mainly because the superposition force field equipment of Val-Cronin's team was manufactured very early.
The Antigravity Behavior Research Center decided to manufacture new equipment late, and the progress was naturally far behind. However, they were very fast because they had a standard equipment, and they just assembled the same equipment and spliced it together.
"It will take about half a month."
When Wang Hao asked about the specific time, Xiang Qiansheng estimated and said, "We still need to conduct internal debugging and conduct separate experiments on each device before putting them together to create a superimposed force field."
Wang Hao is still satisfied with the progress.
At this time, many international scholars are still paying attention to the research of Val-Cronin's team, because the superposition force field equipment of Val-Cronin's team has been confirmed to be manufactured.
The first experiment must have been completed now, but no news has been released yet.
Many people have drawn two conclusions from their analysis -
One conclusion is the same as before, it is that you have not made any new physical discoveries; the other conclusion is that it is a big discovery, and it is a big discovery that needs to be kept secret.
Not many people believe the latter.
This is mainly because there is also other information as evidence. For example, Glen Carter went to Val Cronin's team and was photographed with disappointment on his face after coming out. It was obviously impossible to see anything new.
physical phenomena.
As time slowly passed, the pressure from public opinion increased, and more media became involved, causing some people to begin to pay attention to the experiment, which brought greater pressure.
Val Cronin still did not come forward. He did not need to explain to reporters or the public, but he had to explain to the Department of Energy.
He went to the Department of Energy for an internal inquiry and said, "We really have no progress worth mentioning so far."
"This does not 100% mean that our direction is wrong. Maybe we will make some new discoveries after increasing the magnetic field intensity."
"No one can guarantee that scientific research is 100% correct, not to mention that we are just continuing the previous direction."
"But at the same time, flower growers are doing the same research."
"If we don't find anything, it's unlikely that the florists will find anything."
"It's too early to talk about failure now. We can continue to strengthen the magnetic field or do some other tests..."
Val Cronin said a lot in the Q&A group, which can be summarized as "looking forward to the future" and "passing the buck".
Officials at the Department of Energy were naturally dissatisfied.
Val Cronin knew that regardless of his position, he might be fired at any time, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to devote himself to research.
…
As time passed, the attention of the academic community shifted from Valcke-Ronin's team to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center.
Val-Cronin's team has not made public news for a long time, and there is a high probability that there is nothing new to discover.
So what about Wang Hao’s team?
Calculating based on time, and taking into account the high efficiency of the flower growers' work, the equipment of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center is almost ready.
So will there be any results?
Public opinion is still not optimistic about the research, mainly because of Val Cronin's failure.
Wang Hao did not explain the experimental information, and the research was confidential to a certain extent. The outside world naturally did not know the details. Most people believed that their research was the same as Val-Cronin, and they also created a superposition force field.
equipment.
In the same research, if one side does not make any discoveries, how can the other side make any discoveries?
This is why the research is not optimistic.
However, unlike Val Cronin, even though he received a lot of attention, Wang Hao did not feel any pressure at all, because he had enough support, including the trust of his superiors and the trust of the people, and there was no such thing as creating a black hole.
'The issue of rumors.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Hao did not appear in public at all, he just did research normally.
Of course there are still some inquiries.
When an experimental research attracted worldwide attention, both peers and superiors would be concerned about it. Xu Baogong contacted Wang Hao and asked about the experimental issues.
Wang Hao gave a simple explanation, "Our research uses high-pressure hybrid materials, which is different from Val-Cronin's. They use conventional superconducting materials."
"In addition, the difficulty of our experiment lies in controlling the temperature to prevent the device from entering a superconducting state..."
These are very simple for researchers who understand the experiment, but for laymen it is completely like a "wordless bible".
Xu Baogong was shocked by what he heard, so he simply made an appointment with Wang Hao. He wanted to form a leadership team and go to see the experiment together.
This is not to put pressure on Wang Hao, but to really pay attention to the experiment itself.
Just like Grant-Carter's idea, the experiment may lead to new physical discoveries, and it may be a moment to witness the history of science. Even if there is only a slight possibility, you must pay attention.
The time they determined was one month later.
That was not a test experiment, but the first formal experiment. At that time, the large-scale hybrid material superposition force field equipment will be placed in a high magnetic field space environment supported by high energy, that is, with the help of the influence of the high magnetic environment, I hope to see
to new physical phenomena.
Xu Baogong also confirmed that other experts would arrive. The anti-gravity experts were naturally also anti-gravity researchers, namely Deng Jian and Zhao Baoran, the heads of the other two domestic anti-gravity teams.
After agreeing on a time with Xu Baogong, Wang Hao continued to participate in the testing of the superimposed force field equipment.
Several high-pressure mixed material anti-gravity devices have been debugged and fixed at certain positions. The content of the formal test is also very straightforward, which is to turn on four devices at the same time, create anti-gravity fields separately and superimpose them together.
To put it simply, it is to use new equipment to create a superimposed force field.
Because it is not in a high magnetic field environment, the new equipment cannot use the previous separate magnetic field manufacturing device. It just tests and creates a superimposed force field. The job of the participants is to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Wang Hao didn't pay too much attention.
Without the influence of high magnetic fields, there would be no problems such as radiation. He stood a few meters in front of the safe house and watched the equipment start up.
After the four pieces of equipment were officially started, the participants continued to pay attention to the temperature.
Temperature control is most important.
In the process of continuous cooling, the speed must be slow enough to ensure that the high-pressure mixed material reaches 216K and cannot be reduced to the critical temperature of 213.
To put it simply, the temperature should be controlled at around 214k, and the fluctuation value should not exceed 1k.
In the absence of automated control and precise detection, manual control is definitely a delicate job. Even Wang Hao is constantly paying attention to the temperature control issue.
"213k!"
"Notice!"
Yan Jing was directly responsible for the experimental data. She immediately gave a reminder after seeing the values.
Wang Hao heard the sound coming from the headset and glanced at the meter value. He looked up and was stunned when he saw the superimposed force field area in the center.
Many people were also stunned.
At that moment, they noticed that the superimposed force field area became dark.
Darkness is not just a color. When you look carefully, your eyeballs feel like they are being sucked in, as if all the surrounding light has been sucked away.
"what is that!"
"The color has changed? What is it?"
"Don't look!"
"Academician Wang, danger!" He Yi was staying next to Wang Hao. Like everyone else, he also noticed the anomaly in the superimposed force field area.
His reaction was very fast and he immediately shouted loudly.
The two armed guards nearby immediately pulled Wang Hao into the safe house for safety.
There was suddenly some confusion in the laboratory.
When Wang Hao entered the safe room and looked outside, he found that the darkness in the center of the superimposed force field had disappeared.
"Gone?"
Just when he was confused, he heard Yan Jing shouting with excitement and dissatisfaction, "Cooling team! Pay attention! It's already 218k!"
"It turns out that the temperature is not maintained..."
Wang Hao took a deep breath and commanded with suppressed excitement, "Cooling team members, please be careful not to look at the center of the device. Do your job well and keep the temperature at 214k as planned."
"Others should also do their work and don't be affected by the experiment..."
