October 1967, Sophie's Institute.

"Ten minutes countdown." The voice of the coordinator of the general control room was heard on the radio.

Sophie stayed in the field and led her researchers to complete the final equipment inspection process. Her researcher was aloud announcing the steps to be carried out in the inspection process, and the entire test site was proceeding in an orderly manner.

It was at this time that Ysera entered the proving ground with several retinues.

"Sister, why are you here?" Nia asked in surprise.

"Of course, I'm here to monitor whether you're using the funds properly for the right time." Ysera's voice was very stern, "You have already consumed too much appropriation, and if you can't produce some results, I will have to implement cost control." ”

"Big sister! This is a project that Dad is very concerned about. ”

"Since it's a project that my dad is very concerned about, it should be more effective, right? But after so many years, the project has swallowed up a huge amount of money, but it has not been able to come up with a satisfactory result for Dad. I originally thought that the project would produce a lot of derivatives in the process of research and development, and the commercialization of those derivatives could offset the cost of the project in a certain way. But now tell me for yourself, which of the things you came up with was a commercial success? It's better to continue to develop cosmetics to make money quickly. ”

Ysera's words made Sophie frown: "Sister, you are completely in the eyes of money, if you want to take over your father's class, you have to have a longer-term vision." ”

"First of all, I never thought about taking my dad's class, and I knew I couldn't be as great as my dad. Secondly, if it weren't for me, a person who drills money, you would have squandered the Lin family's assets a long time ago. Isera paused, then strengthened his tone, "All in all, if today's reality can't produce results, I'll have to re-examine the level of funding for you." ”

With that, Ysera turned and walked to the edge of the testing ground, sat down in the chair her men had brought, and crossed her legs.

Sophie smacked her lips and turned back to the researchers, "You have also heard, for the sake of the future of the institute, this time it must produce results." ”

"But Mademoiselle, whether or not the sample of the material tested can pass the guò test is predestined when it is made, and we cannot interfere. Do you want us to cheat on the test numbers? Sophie's lieutenant was also a fool, and he asked this directly in front of Ysera, only to realize that he was in trouble.

Sophie wasn't annoyed, but raised her voice slightly: "I'm asking you to work hard to eliminate interference factors other than the real yàn, so as to avoid accidents such as instrument failures that affect the progress of the real yàn, understand?" ”

"Of course." The deputy nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the dispatcher's voice came from the radio: "Five minutes before the start of the real yàn. ”

Sophie urged her men again.

Five minutes later, the real yàn entered a ten-second countdown.

What we are going to do today is to test the strength of the material sample No. 217, which is simply to see how much tension is needed to pull it off.

As long as the tensile force provided by this system does not cause significant deformation of material sample 217, it means that the strength of the material meets the strength requirements of the rail elevator.

Sophie has tested the superconductivity and heat resistance of sample 217 before, and now the strength is poor, and if the strength is enough, the rest is a small problem, and other ways can be found to solve it. At that time, Sophie could proudly claim that she had completed the cables necessary for the construction of the rail elevator.

“10、9、8、7……”

The countdown soon ended, and the roar of the machine in the center of the test site suddenly increased, and at the same time, Sophie, who was a god, could clearly feel that the magic fluctuations released by the battle queens had increased significantly.

The rally number on the main display of the proving ground kept rising, and everyone was staring at it.

Sophie swallowed hard.

"More than sample 216." Her deputy whispered.

"It is inevitable to exceed No. 216, the question is how much, if it can reach 2.7 times the sample of No. 216, then it will meet the requirements that the design department of the Tower of Babylon has put forward to us."

Sophie was actually a little weak when she said this, after all, reaching 2.7 times the size of sample 216 was not a simple matter, and Sophie, who had reached 1.5 times or something, was a little confident.

Thinking that the readings on the main screen were already one and a half times the final test pull of Sample 216, Sophie turned her head to look at Ysera, who must have read the actual report of Sample 216, and wondered if she would be able to convince her not to cut her budget in this direction.

I really can't do it, so I can only go to my father to be coquettish.

Sophie looked back and found that the reading on the home screen had doubled the final reading of number 216.

"What is the deformation of the material?" Sophie asked aloud.

"It's still within the range of the naked eye." Sophie's subordinate replied loudly, "One qiē is normal. ”

"What about the readings of the electronic scanner? There's no anomaly inside the material, right? ”

"No, it's normal."

As soon as the researchers' report ended, the deputy whispered to Sophie, "I always feel that this time we will get a much better result than expected." ”

Sophie didn't answer, and by this time the reading on the screen had reached two and a half times the final reading of No. 216, which was only a small distance away from Sophie's goal.

Sophie felt like her heart was about to pop out of her throat, and the sudden tension made her stomach cramp.

Before Sophie could deal with the tension, the pull displayed on the home screen exceeded the target pull.

"What is the deformation of the material?" Sophie asked aloud.

"Slight, it's still unrecognizable to the naked eye, we succeeded, Director!"

This sentence made everyone's tense nerves relax. At this time, the rally readings on the main screen were still rising, and it was clear that the strength of Sample 217 was much stronger than expected.

Sophie did not give the order to terminate the material, after all, the ultimate goal of the substance was to determine the strength limit of material No. 217, which theoretically would not stop until the sample was significantly deformed.

Even though the reality was not over, Sophie turned and came to Ysera.

"Eldest sister, please tell my dad for me, I got the elevator rope he wanted."

"I'll tell you. In addition, how much money will be needed to mass-produce this thing, you can write an evaluation report and submit it to me within this week. ”
