Chapter 24 (I) The Philadelphia Experiment
Ah Yue's words surprised everyone present, no one connected the Philadelphia experiment back then with the Philadelphia Yellow Fog Incident that happened today, but after she said this, she somewhat understood that when the Yellow Fog Incident was so serious, the military would send special forces to protect this place, but where did these Rubik's Cube troops come from?
Tang Shuxing looked at the commander and said, "You are not from the government, who are you?" Who sent you? ”
The commander smiled, and then quietly pulled the grenade, but the sound of pulling out the safety ring still alarmed Ji Kefeng, who was very good at hearing, and Ji Kefeng kicked it away, and the commander struggled to get up after falling to the ground and pounced on them.
Five seconds! The five-second delay grenade in the commander's hand could give him plenty of time, but at the moment when he rushed over, Ah Yue, who had gone around behind him, kicked him in the back again, causing the commander to fly directly to the bottom of the destroyer Downs, and then was blown to pieces by his own grenade.
After the grenade exploded, the warship itself did not suffer any damage, and the exploded grenade gas wave and the steel balls in it were sucked into a layer of things on the surface of the warship, just like the grenade was thrown into deep water and detonated.
Tang Shuxing and the others watched as the corpse of the commander, who had been blown in half, was actually floating on the side of the warship's hull, as if the surrounding area had lost gravity and was completely in a vacuum.
"What's going on?" Ji Kefeng slowly got up and looked at the spectacle in front of him.
Ah Yue was very calm: "Actually, I don't know, after all, I'm not an expert scientist or anything like that." I've just read the data, and it's mentioned above that it's a weird spatial force field that can dissolve most of the energy. ”
Tang Shuxing slowly approached, but he didn't dare to get too close, and then asked, "What is the real Philadelphia experiment all about?" ”
Ah Yue smiled and said, "You guys are going to that Flaming Island on the Delaware River, right?" Other than that, I can't think of any reason for you to come to Camden. ”
Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi both nodded, and then Ji Kefeng asked rhetorically, "How do you know Lu Dao?" ”
"The U.S. government is not stupid, they have long been aware of a series of so-called natural phenomena that are happening on the island, but because of the limited scientific and technological capabilities of the past, it was not until the outbreak of World War II. They just started to study the islands. They feared that the Axis powers would be the first to discover the advanced technology and techniques brought about by certain phenomena. So scientists from China and from Europe were mobilized, and all available resources were used to start research. Ah Yue lit another cigarette and kept looking around. It looks like I'm looking for something. "They found that whenever there were warships passing around the island. The radar would fail, and it was from here that it was discovered that there was a layer of thermal magnetic field around the island, known as a permanent magnetic field. At that time, except for the use of electromagnetism, human beings had not discovered a permanent magnetic field, and this magnetic field was impenetrable. ”
Tang Shuxing shook his head: "What does it mean that the magnetic field can't penetrate?" Is there something resembling an energy field that wraps around the island? But how did the people who used to live on the islands get there? ”
"That's not what it meant." Gu Huaiyi explained on one side, "The thermal magnetic field is similar to the magnetic field heat treatment from another angle, that is, the heat treatment process of holding the material close to the temperature for a certain period of time in the magnetic field and then cooling, or cooling in the magnetic field at a certain speed, after the implementation of this process, the properties of the substance can be permanently changed." In the process of the magnetic field changing itself, if there is a collision of matter in it, different spaces may be born, and at the same time, the same matter as the previously existing space may be derived from the space, but the matter will change due to the collision between the magnetic field and space. ”
Ah Yue nodded silently, Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng just looked at them, then glanced at each other, and then shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand at all.
Ah Yue stepped forward and said: "In the vernacular, they found that there are other spaces around the island, but they don't know the nature of the Dao space, it is multiple spaces, that is, the parallel realm, or they can go back to the past through this space, or they can go to the future, understand?" It's just that the concept that people said at the time was the same as this, but it didn't give birth to a direct definition of the parallel world......"
After the U.S. military determined the existence of space, it found that nothing could reach the speed of penetrating the magnetic field, and the bullet could not (the fastest bullet was also the 21st century American Sandia Laboratory, using a magnetic field accelerator, which launched a speed of about 20 kilometers per second, which is dozens of times the speed of an ordinary bullet, but it is impossible to reach the speed of sound), to penetrate must exceed the speed of sound, and it is possible to break through the sound barrier, and at that time nothing could approach the speed of sound, let alone supersound.
"Later, at the suggestion of a scientist, it was decided to use the magnetic field itself to impact the collision to achieve a breakthrough, but the name of the scientist was not mentioned in the data, some people called this scientist Einstein, but in the military records only gave the scientist a 'X' code name, there are different opinions, but no one knows who the road is." "After the specific experiments began, scientists only used firearms—modified rifles and unshelled shells, which were not yet formed and clearly defined. ”
The earliest shells were developed by the Soviets in the 60s of the 20th century, and a hundred years before that, it had been discovered that adding a piece of wood to the bottom of the lead bullet of an ancient artillery could provide the velocity and penetration of the shell after the gunpowder exploded and pushed the wood, so that the explosive force could blow the shell out of the barrel. (This method was invented by gunners on ships during the early days of European maritime supremacy, and hundreds of years later, it was used as a basis for the invention of tail stabilized shell-piercing shells for anti-tank artillery.)
The initial results of the deshelling shells and the collision of the magnetic fields had an initial effect, but they were unable to penetrate the island's magnetic field anyway, and the experiment stalled until one day it was discovered that their research on the island's magnetic field was all the other way around—they used to think that the smaller the object, the fastest it could achieve, but this kind of thing could not carry its own fuel.
Not long after, the Germans developed the V-1 missile, which shocked the whole world, especially the scientists who conducted the Philadelphia experiment, they began to change the direction of their experiments, and copied a V-1 missile that was twice the size of the enemy, using an electric magnetic field to collide with the magnetic field of the island, and successfully sent their almost completely handmade missile into the magnetic field space of the island for the first time.
"The official records of the beginning of the Philadelphia experiment in 1942, but in fact it was in 1943 that it was fully prepared and actually operated, and the breakthrough was made on July 4, 1943, that is, Independence Day. Coincidentally, just one month later, on August 19, 1943, in Quebec, Canada, Roosevelt and Churchill signed a secret agreement between the United States and Britain to jointly develop the atomic bomb. Ah Yue took a deep breath, "During World War II, many things happened, such as the twin experiments, etc., which greatly accelerated the scientific and technological process of mankind, which is ridiculous, right?" The scientific and technological civilization of mankind is almost driven by war. ”
"And how did the ship get in?" Ji Kefeng looked at the warship and asked.
"It also uses magnetic field suction, as well as rocket boosters, plus the thrust of the guns on the warship at the moment of launch, and the experiment is a one-time success, and no one dares to conduct a second experiment after the success......," Ah Yue said, turning to look at them, and began to tell the situation on the day of the Downs experiment.
The main reason for using warships is that the military is not sure what is in the magnetic field space, and if the warship can get in, the weapons carried can protect themselves, and the scientists and military personnel on the warship can also study or eliminate possible threats in space.
The Downs began to install a disposable rocket propulsion device, and there were hundreds of scientists and officers on board, all of whom were fully armed and carrying the most sophisticated weapons of the time, but accidents still happened.
After the Downs ignited the rocket booster, fired the artillery, and activated the artificial magnetic field, the entire warship did teleport, but only half of it penetrated, and this half did not refer to a single bow or stern, but the whole ship was divided into two, one part in normal space, and one part in magnetic field space.
Ah Yue said, waved his hand and led the others to the other side of the warship, and everyone came to the other side only to find the real weird side of the warship - the whole warship was divided into two, like a hot knife cutting butter.
Tang Shuxing stood there, as if he was seeing an analysis map of the side body of the warship, and he could clearly see the situation inside the warship, everything was placed there as it was, even the people whose bodies were separated in it maintained the posture when they were separated instantly.
"See? That's why they have to cover up for something, half of the hull entered the magnetic field space, the other half is in front of you, the experiment was forced to be terminated, no one dared to continue this experiment, and the investment was too large, the U.S. government was worried that the war and other investments would trigger the economic crisis that occurred between 1929 and 1933, but because of this experiment, the United States obtained a lot of valuable information, for example, a few years after the Philadelphia experiment, in 1947, the Americans took the lead in building the X-1 experimental machine, For the first time in human history, the speed of sound was broken. Ah Yue started to light a cigarette again, still looking around, with an anxious expression.
"What does this have to do with the current Philadelphia Yellow Fog incident? What monster did you just mention? Tang Shuxing asked again.
Ah Yue nodded and said: "Now in Philadelphia, there is an unknown monster walking around, the yellow mist is produced by that monster, in the Philadelphia experiment, the U.S. government did not know what bad impact they caused, until the earthquake in 2011, they did not know what the Dao had alarmed." ”
"The 2011 earthquake?" Gu Huaiyi looked at Ah Yue, "Is it referring to the earthquake on the east coast of the United States?" ”
"Yes, at that time, the Seismological Bureau announced that the epicenter was in the state of Venigia, and the earthquake at that time caused the tremors to be felt in Washington, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and other places, and even in Toronto, Canada, and mobile phone communications were directly disconnected in many places." Ah Yue looked at the warship and said with a smile, "Actually, there were two earthquakes at that time, and the epicenter of the first and weakest earthquake was on the island in the Delaware River.
