Chapter 22: The Speed of Light
District 51 is located in Lincoln County, southern Nevada, USA, and this special area has been around since '49
Since the "Roswell UFO crash", there have been all kinds of mysteries, all kinds of secret experiments are more or less related to it, the rainstorm that covers the sky makes all the aircraft unusable, a heavy Chevrolet Cyber Class splashed muddy water on the face of the soldier Stephen, but the resolute expression and iron arms make the military salute stand by the door like a sculpture, the door behind him closed with a muffled sound, Michael Ross every step is three points more than ordinary people, and the passage of more than ten meters only walks 6 steps,
"Frank, I'd better you give me a good reason not to kick your damn ass!", said Frank Andrews, who had already gotten up to greet him, with a smile.
"Don't be upset, let me introduce you to a new friend. Michael's anger didn't seem to be extinguished by the rainstorm outside the door,
"Are you still going to experiment here, the weather hasn't been normal since you started!", Frank laughed,
"It seems that it's not raining outside, it should be aviation fuel! Come on, this is Zhu Diwu I want to introduce to you. ", Michael looked in Frank's direction, a slightly emaciated middle-aged Chinese standing by the fireplace,
"Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm the director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Michael's resistance to this kind of scientific research staff from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't ignore the feelings of the other party, so he politely greeted him and did it, and Frank began his performance,
"The problem with the experiment you mentioned earlier does have an impact on our local weather, but that's not the point, when will the weather be normal here?", Michael shook his hand repeatedly,
"Can you please stop talking so much nonsense for a while, how about the hell the progress of hedron research during this time can I say something that I can understand, is it okay?", Frank looked obviously in a good mood,
"Of course, of course, but I can't say this type of person's words, please ask Mr. Zhu to explain to our director of national security in a short and simple way!", Zhu Diwu looked a little shy, and said with a slight stutter,
"Director Michael, I am very happy to have the opportunity to show you the results of recent research in our laboratory, you know, for a long time, the two main conveniences of our Area 51 laboratory are anti-gravity thrusters and light-speed vehicles, the former has been gradually denied in previous experiments, and the latter because of the negative beam of Einstein's mass-energy formula for a long time, the mass of any matter will be close to infinity when it is infinitely close to the speed of light, which is simply impossible to achieve for traditional reaction thrusters, and with the progress of science and technology, we now have two ways to theoretically reach the speed of light, Zhu Diwu's face was slightly flushed, but he spoke faster and faster, and became more and more fluent, this kind of person is like this, when he focuses on one thing, he can forget everything, and forgetting to sleep and eat is a word tailored to them,
"One of these is what we are doing now, we can understand that the speed of light can be said to be the speed of the object, or it can be said to be the amount of energy carried by the object itself, or we can understand it this way, the two situations when an object reaches the speed of light, respectively, the overall speed of motion reaches the speed of light or the rate at which the atoms vibrate themselves reach the speed of light, the first is difficult to achieve in this dimension of space, and the second is possible to skip this acceleration process and let it directly reach the speed of light, or the high-energy state. We can charge the target object under certain environmental conditions, and when the target value is reached, we can withdraw from the specific conditions, and the object will instantly have the speed of light. Michael's somewhat confused,
"That Dr. Zhu, can you ask, what do you mean by specific environmental conditions, is it a high-pressure, low-temperature environment?", Zhu Diwu snapped his fingers,
"That's right, that's it!", Michael continued,
"So the object in this light-speed state is stationary?!still stays in place??", Zhu Diwu said proudly,
"Of course not, Director, when the object reaches the speed of light, it is opened like a magical Pandora's box, which I would like to explain to you in detail below, this target object will jump the moment it reaches the speed of light!", Michael asked,
"Excuse me, are you saying it once?", Frank laughed,
"What Dr. Zhu means is that once this thing reaches the speed of light, it will jump from our three-dimensional space to the upper dimension, the five-dimensional space!" Zhu Diwu gave Frank a thumbs up and continued,
"Yes, the jump of the target object gave us a very magical unexpected discovery, Frank, is that okay?", Frank nodded,
"Of course, today we are going to perform this magic trick for our director, please!". The three of them walked to the inner room, which was a huge spherical room, which should have exceeded 3 meters from the thickness of the door, and there was a huge semicircular experimental cabin in the middle of the room, surrounded by dozens of wrist-thick cables, and there was a 10cm square black square inside the experimental cabin.
Michael wondered,
"Is this a black ene shell?", laughed Frank Heap,
"Yes, my boss, this is a whole piece!", Zhu Diwu beckoned the surrounding staff to be in place,
"Start pressurizing, cooling down----- well---- start injecting energy!", as the surrounding lights flickered and flickered, there was a maddening buzz in the cabin,
"Okay!Hold it for 10 seconds!10!9!8!7... 1! Withdraw!", the staff on the right side pulled down a huge lever suddenly, only to hear the buzzing sound suddenly increased several times compared to just now, and the black block in the experimental cabin began to become bright and dazzling.
Michael looked at Frank,
"This, is this magic?", Frank smiled slyly,
"My boss, please wait a minute!", about ten minutes later, there was a loud bang, and the entire laboratory shook violently, and when everything was stable, the black block reappeared in the test chamber.
Zhu Diwu looked at Michael excitedly,
"Sir, did you see that, did you see what just happened?", Michael pointed to the experimental module,
"That's the magic you're talking about?!", Zhu Diwu suddenly became excited,
"Oh no, sir, you can't insult it like that, do you know what happened in this moment?", Frank said,
"Doctor, don't test our boss's patience anymore, let's talk about it quickly!", Zhu Diwu came to the big screen,
"Sir, look at these parameters, this waveform is a time-correlated axis, this... Frank stepped forward,
"Doctor, the boss said, talk to people, talk to people!",
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so, at that moment, the black target object reached the speed of light before it disappeared, and then it jumped, and then it came to the future ten minutes later, in a split second for the target object, and for us observers, it took ten minutes, that is, it crossed the timeline! Michael, putting his hat on, interrupted Zhu Diwu's explanation,
"Okay, Frank, I understand the importance of this experiment, let's say, how much additional funding is needed?", Frank happily gave Michael a hug,
"Thank you so much, my old friend, but we don't just need a grant, it's that this experiment has now come into contact with the secrets of the high-dimensional space, and we need an expert!", Michael wondered,
"Oh, what experts, are we still not enough experts here?", Zhu Diwu rushed over,
"Yes, Director, we need an insider from the ancient sect that has guarded the source of this spar for generations!", Michael looked at them,
"So any of you have chosen one?", said Frank,
"Yes, this sect is in China!"
