The operator in the experimental control room immediately slid on the panel for a moment, and the scientists present had nothing to do, now waiting for the results of the data to come out for analysis.

As the dome of the outermost building of the laboratory opened, only a flat sail with a diameter of 8 meters was exposed to the sun.

Photons emitted by the sun and trace cosmic rays shine on the surface of this "plane sail" that resembles receiving, and the energy-carrying photons with no resting mass enter the fully reflective optical fibers.

If the human eye could see the picture at the microscopic scale, it would see numerous light quanta flowing at the speed of light along the trajectory of the optical fiber.

Even though there are hundreds of millions of these light quanta, their overall energy is still very small and needs to be measured with the help of professional equipment.

The moment the dome is opened, the experimental measurements have already begun.

A group of scientists are staring at the data display panel in the control room, isolating the laboratory from being visible, and there is no corresponding electronic eye, all in order to eliminate as much as possible all external interference factors that may affect the experimental measurement results.

As the minutes ticked by, it was a full three hours, but none of the scientists showed impatience.

Three hours is not too short for them to get results, you must know that many basic experimental measurements are calculated on an annual cycle, and it is very common in the scientific community to take years or even more than ten years to get an experimental result.

Finally, after three and a half hours, the supercomputer came up with the results of the measurement calculations.

The data monitor saw the pop-up message and immediately shouted.

"It's out, it's out!"

A group of scientists who were originally waiting with each other immediately stopped communicating in a surprising agreement, and all of them rushed over.

"How's it going? What are the measurements? ”

An experimental physicist surnamed Xu lifted the frame and said, "The measured data detected shows that a force of 1.5 millinewtons can be generated per kilowatt of power!" ”

Can you really generate thrust?

After learning the results, the scientists present unanimously did not speak.

The results of the experimental data show that they are in perfect agreement with the theoretical model given by Gu Cheng, what does this mean?

The force of 1.5 mN is really not large, 1000 mN = 1 Newton of force, but the thrust of 1.5 mN is relatively more than 100 times that of a solar sail.

After a long time, Professor Xu held back the excitement in his heart and said: "Everyone, don't be busy jumping to conclusions, one measurement cannot explain the root of the problem, and repeated measurements must be carried out. ”

When they heard this, they agreed.

Over the next half month, the group of scientists conducted crazy experiments, during the day and at night, and if they were lucky, they might even receive high-energy gamma photons from the universe, but the probability of this was very small.

……

March 28th.

In the conference room of the experimental center, 17 scientists involved in the experimental plan gathered together, and within half a month, they had made 100 measurements, and spent a whole week analyzing the data and sorting out the final and exact experimental conclusions.

At this moment, everyone still hasn't fully come to their senses.

Professor Xu took a deep breath, took off his glasses, wiped them a few times, put them back on and said, "Everyone, what do you think of the experimental results?" ”

At this time, an experimental physicist exclaimed: "It's amazing, it absorbs photons and doesn't move at this time; Convert it to microwaves, and it doesn't move at this point, but emit microwaves into a closed cavity, and the whole thing moves...... This, this, this...... It's like if I punched myself and got myself flying. ”

Up to now, most of the scientists present are still in a state of collective confusion.

The results of the experiment did produce thrust, but it still seems to violate the law of conservation of momentum, and scientists attach great importance to the concept of conservation because it is so easy to use.

opened the chatterbox, and everyone began to enter the big discussion word by word.

"This is just an illusion, Mr. Gu's theoretical model does not violate the conservation of momentum, and it is also important to note that because photons have no mass, the momentum of photons belongs to the category of relativity, not to Newton's classical physics."

"If we believe that momentum comes from external photons, then we need to ...... in relativity and classical physics There seems to be some unknown truth here. ”

"You won't forget the strange photon pair model described by Mr. Gu, right? I think that it is possible to transfer the relativistic momentum of photons from the microscopic world to concrete objects in the macrocosm somehow through engineering, and to be honest, this is not impossible, especially now when experiments have already proven. ”

"Albert Einstein didn't believe that God could roll dice, but quantum mechanics tells us that God just likes to roll dice."

"By the way, when is Mr. Gu coming?"

Not long after these words were spoken, the closed door of the conference room was opened, and everyone couldn't help but look over.

Professor Xu was stunned for a while and joked: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive." ”

Gu Cheng sat down casually in an empty seat, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I heard that the results of the experiment have come out." ”

Professor Xu nodded: "After repeated measurements, the data results show that each kilowatt of power can produce a force of 1.5 milliN of force, which is a groundbreaking feat, and the boundary of physics has been pushed one step outward, which is definitely a Nobel Prize-level contribution, so that human beings can fundamentally use light for their own purposes." ”

"Nope! No! When Gu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Old Xu, I'm not interested in the Nobel Prize at all, of course I don't mean to be disrespectful......"

One kind of scientist present wanted to roll his eyes, and the Nobel Prize is almost every scientist's greatest pursuit.

Gu Cheng fiddled with gestures, thought for a while and said, "I position myself as an entrepreneur and doer, so I pay more attention to the practical application of technology. Therefore, I decided to immediately enter the manufacture of the light guide engine and the light core, and I hope to build a prototype of the 'Sky Blade Fighter' by the end of this year. ”

When everyone heard this, they collectively looked at Gu Cheng in a daze, and Professor Xu was stunned and said, "What? This...... How is this possible? The light guide propulsion has just completed the verification, but it is only in terms of verification, there is also the problem of the light core, and then it can finally be applied, it is impossible to do it in five or eight years, in case of failure, how much loss is this? ”

Gu Cheng: "Elder Xu, sometimes I do it first and then talk about it." Don't worry about the cost, the company can pay for the failure of the project, and I can afford this loss. ”

A scientist was stunned and said: "Co-authoring a project plan of tens of billions of dollars, in your mouth is called 'this loss'?" Young people nowadays are really impatient. ”

Gu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "This year, the business of my Tianqing Technology Group is in full bloom, the carbon yphyne industry should be able to bring me two or three hundred billion income, the recent superconducting battery civilian and smart logistics can also bring one or two hundred billion income, our core main business military business is drought and flood income, the annual guaranteed income of three hundred billion yuan, this year's electromagnetic rifle business can be launched, and the defense exhibition in the second half of the year can make a big profit." Roughly calculated, the total revenue of the group company this year can reach 1 trillion, and the profit will not be less than 300 billion. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Cheng grinned and looked at the group of speechless scientists, and he added: "Even if the investment in the 'Heavenly Blade Project' is all lost, that's it, just invest again, isn't it money." ”

Is this what people say?
