"Mr. Carter, it's not so easy to discover new physical phenomena. Scientific and technological research is like this, one success once in a hundred times is remarkable! ”

"In this experiment, we have fully prepared for theory and experiments, and now it is only the first time to conduct an experiment."

"We will increase the strength of the magnetic field in the future."

"Moreover, it is not without our findings that some materials are more magnetized by superimposed force fields......"

“……”

Several researchers patiently explained to Glenn Carter for a long time.

In fact, they were reluctant to explain more, especially as an official from the Department of Energy explained that the other party was Gran Carter, a former famous football player.

Some of them look down on Glenn Carter from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that the other party is a simple-minded, well-developed guy who can only get into the Department of Energy by relying on the fame he gained during his athlete days.

But Glenn Carter was a representative from the Department of Energy, and the funding for the experiment was funded directly by the Department of Energy.

Experimental research, the boss who pays for it!

The Department of Energy, which has invested heavily in supporting experimental research, has been able to keep the people involved in the research quiet, but not everyone can bow down to their work.

There was a hot-tempered researcher who sneered in a weird way, "Mr. Carter, scientific research is not the same as a football game, not every time there is a win or a loss!" ”

Glen Carter's anger suddenly came up.

He felt very angry before, and was sent by the Department of Energy to observe the experiment, originally thinking of witnessing the history of science, but he ended up holding back in the safe house for more than half an hour, and nothing happened.

That would be tantamount to witnessing failure.

Glen Carter feels a bit like watching a football game, even though he used to be a rugby player, but now he's a real spectator and he's going to support his favorite team at the game.

It was supposed to be a must-win game, and after a win, you could get the championship trophy......

The result?

Lost!

Every spectator will be angry at the game, and they will also be angry at the athletes involved, especially those who make mistakes.

Glenn Carter didn't bother with ordinary researchers, he went straight to Val Cronin and immediately asked loudly, "Why did this experiment fail!" ”

"Mr. Cronin, you should know how important the experiment is, everyone is paying attention, even Mr. Selva (the minister) is paying attention to your experiment."

"Equipment manufacturing alone cost nearly $300 million, $300 million, do you know how much money that is?"

"Tell me, if the news of the failure of the experiment gets out, how are we going to account for the taxpayers?"

Val Cronin doesn't have a good temper either.

He was a well-known expert in superconductivity applications, respected everywhere he went, and was hired by Mr. President as a national scientific adviser, only to feel nothing but pressure when he became the head of antigravity research.

The current experiment did not find anything, and the pressure was even greater, and it was a shame to hear a former rugby player question it.

Val Cronin immediately retorted loudly, "Mr. Carter, you know, we are just continuing Rollell's study, and the plan submitted before was also approved by the Department of Energy. ”

"This is not an experiment that one of our teams is optimistic about, but an experiment that the whole world is optimistic about."

"Before I became the leader, Lorell was supported by the Ministry of Energy and was already preparing to form an international academic organization to fund research together to manufacture equipment."

"Later, the Ministry of Energy decided that the study had a certain degree of confidentiality, so it decided to invest unilaterally."

"I'm just continuing my work."

Val Cronin said word by word, he stared into Glenn Carter's eyes, and continued very seriously, "In addition, you should know from the news some time ago that the flower planter, Wang Hao's team, also began to manufacture superimposed force field equipment. ”

"If this direction is wrong, even Wang Hao has gone into a misunderstanding, and our experiment has no results, what's strange?"

“……”

What Val Cronin said earlier, Glen Carter is listening to the left ear and the right ear, no matter what, Cronin is the head of the experimental team, and there is no progress in the experiment after the big investment, and he will definitely have to bear some responsibility.

But the last sentence, Glen Carter felt made a lot of sense.

That's Wang Hao!

Wang Hao's team is building superimposed force field equipment, if the research direction is really wrong, it doesn't seem to be a big deal for them to make mistakes with Wang Hao?

Glen-Carter exhaled lightly.

Val Cronin vented and felt a little better, patiently explaining, "Actually, our experimental research has only just begun, although we have not seen new physical phenomena, but many physical phenomena are detected by detection, not by seeing with eyes. ”

"The experiment is over, but the data analysis is not yet complete. Maybe some new physical phenomena have emerged, but we haven't analyzed them yet......"

Although it seems to make sense, it really just comforts Glenn Carter.

Val Cronin also knew from experience that they really didn't make any discoveries, and there would be no results in subsequent data analysis, so he could only think, "I hope that after the magnetic field is strengthened, there will be a discovery!" ”

"Fortunately, Wang Hao's team is also creating a superimposed force field......"

"That's 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, where some top scholars are constantly asking for news, hoping to know the results as soon as possible.

That's a new physical discovery that could well represent the future of research and development.

However, there was no news from the laboratory for a long time, and only three days later, relevant analysis conclusions were released. ”

There is a lot of support for this claim.

In fact, just like rumors on the Internet, after some rumors come out, they can't wait for relevant information to refute the rumors, and they can't find key evidence to prove that they are rumors, which will make the rumors spread faster and faster, and more and more people will believe it.

The "failure of the experiment" is only speculation, but neither Val Cronin's team, Los Alamos Laboratory, nor other related people have come forward to express their opposition, and naturally more people will believe that the experiment will definitely not find anything.

Soon the news spread to the country.

Aside from the discussion of academic and public opinion, there are three teams specializing in the study of annihilation force in China, in addition to the Antigravity Properties Research Center, there are also teams from the Condensed Matter Physics Research Center and a team from the Superconductivity Laboratory of the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences.

These two teams have not achieved any major results, but some small achievements are still available, and they are mainly engaged in the study of anti-gravity field characteristics, and will also assign some projects related to anti-gravity field behavior.

At present, the most important direction of antigravity is the study of strong annihilation force, and the new physical phenomena that may be brought about by large superimposed force fields have received extensive international attention, and they will naturally pay attention to it.

When they knew that Val Cronin's team had no results, they also began to worry about Wang Hao's research, so they hurriedly asked in various ways, "There are no new discoveries on Cronin's side, Academician Wang, do you want to continue?" ”

"Of course."

Wang Hao's answer was very certain, "Don't look at Cronin's side, they are different from us." ”

I haven't replied since.

He is very busy with his work, the Anti-Gravity Properties Research Center is assembling and testing high-pressure hybrid anti-gravity standard equipment, and the Anti-Gravity Vehicle 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 a variety of problems on a daily basis.

In the assembly of high-pressure mixed material anti-gravity standard equipment, Wang Hao put more energy, mainly because the equipment parts have been shipped, they are testing each part, and then carefully assembled together.

After the overall commissioning of the equipment is completed, the experiment can begin.

This progress is definitely not comparable to that of the Val Cronin team, mainly because the superimposed force field equipment of the Val Cronin team was manufactured very early.

The Anti-Gravity Properties Research Center decided to build a new device late, and the progress was far from keeping up, but they were fast because they had a standard piece of equipment, and they just assembled the same equipment and put it together.

"It will take about half a month."

When Wang Hao asked about the specific time, Xiang Qiansheng estimated and said, "We also have to carry out internal debugging and conduct separate experiments on each device, and then assemble them together to create a superimposed force field." ”

Wang Hao is still satisfied with the progress.

At this time, many international scholars still pay attention to the research of Val Cronin's team, because the superposition force field equipment of Val Cronin's team has been determined.

Now the first experiment must have been completed, but no news has come out for a long time.

A lot of people have come to two conclusions --

One conclusion, as before, is that there are no new physical discoveries made by you; The other conclusion is made by the Great Discovery, and it is a Great Discovery that needs to be kept secret.

Not many people believe in the latter.

This is mainly due to the fact that there is also other information as evidence, such as the fact that Glen Carter went to Val Cronin's team and came out with a face full of disappointment, and it was obviously impossible to see any new physical phenomenon.

As time passed, the pressure on public opinion increased, and more media involvement brought more and more people to pay attention to the experiment, which brought more pressure.

Val Cronin still didn't come forward, he didn't need to explain to reporters, he didn't need to explain to the public, but he had to explain to the Ministry of Energy.

He went to the Department of Energy for an internal inquiry and said, "We really haven't made any progress worth mentioning so far." ”

"This is not a 100% indication that we are going in the wrong direction, maybe after increasing the strength of the magnetic field in the future, there will be some new discoveries."

"No one can guarantee that scientific research will be 100% correct, and we are just continuing the previous direction."

"But at the same time, the flower growers are doing the same research."

"If we don't find anything, we can't find anything either."

"It's too early to talk about failure, and we can continue to strengthen the magnetic field, or do some other testing......"

Val Cronin asked a lot more in the group, which can almost be summed up by 'looking forward to the future' and 'passing the buck'.

Naturally, DOE officials are also dissatisfied.

Val Cronin knew that he could be fired at any time, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to devote himself to research.

……

As time passed, the attention of the academic community shifted from Valker-Ronin's team to the Center for the Study of Anti-Gravity Properties.

Val Cronin's team has not made public information for a long time, and it is likely that there are no new discoveries.

What about Wang Hao's team?

According to the calculation of time, and considering the high efficiency of the work of the flower planters, the equipment of the anti-gravity sex research center is almost ready.

So will it be fruitful?

Public opinion is still not optimistic about the research, mainly because of the failure of Val Cronin.

Wang Hao did not explain the experimental information, and the research was also kept secret to a certain extent, and the outside world naturally did not know the details, and most people believed that their research was the same as Val Cronin, and they were also manufacturing superimposed force field equipment.

If one side doesn't make any discoveries in the same study, how can the other party make any discoveries?

That's why research isn't bullish.

However, unlike Val Cronin, even if he received a lot of attention, Wang Hao did not feel the pressure at all, because he had enough support, including the trust of his superiors and the trust of the people, and there was no rumor problem of 'creating a black hole'.

Wang Hao didn't appear in public at all, he just did research normally.

Of course, there are still some inquiries.

An experimental study has become concerned by the world, whether it is peers or superior leaders, Xu Baogong contacted Wang Hao and asked about the experimental question.

Wang Hao made a simple explanation, "Our research uses high-pressure hybrid materials, which is different from Val-Cronin's side, they use conventional superconducting materials. ”

"In addition, the difficulty of our experiment was to control the temperature and avoid putting the device into a superconducting state......

These are simple for researchers who understand experiments, but for laymen, they are completely 'wordless'.

Xu Baogong's head was too big when he heard it, so he simply made an appointment with Wang Hao, he wanted to set up a leading group 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 Glen Carter's idea, experiments may lead to new physical discoveries, and it may be a moment to witness the history of science, even if there is only one possibility, you must pay attention to it.

The time they set was a month later.

This is not a test experiment, but the first formal experiment, when a large mixed-material superimposed force field device will be placed in a high-magnetic field space environment supported by high energy, that is, with the influence of high-magnetic environment, hoping to see new physical phenomena.

Xu Baogong also confirmed that other experts will arrive, and the experts in anti-gravity are naturally also researchers who study anti-gravity, that is, the leaders of the other two anti-gravity teams in China - Deng Jian and Zhao Yanran.

After agreeing on the time with Xu Baogong, Wang Hao continued to participate in the testing of the superimposed force field equipment.

Several high-pressure hybrid anti-gravity devices have been debugged and fixed in a definite position, and the content of the formal test is also very straightforward, that is, four devices are turned on at the same time, and the anti-gravity fields are created and superimposed on top of each other.

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, so it is only a test to create a superimposed force field, and the job of the participants is to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Wang Hao didn't care too much.

Without the influence of a high magnetic field, there would be no problems such as radiation, and he stood a few meters in front of the safe house and watched the equipment start up.

After the four devices were officially launched, the participants kept paying attention to the temperature.

Temperature control is paramount.

In the process of continuous cooling, the speed must be slow enough to ensure that the high-pressure mixed material reaches 216K, and it cannot be reduced to the critical temperature of 213.

To put it simply, the temperature should be controlled at about 214K, and the fluctuating value should not exceed 1K.

In the absence of automatic control and fine detection, it is definitely a delicate job to rely on manual control, and even Wang Hao is constantly concerned about temperature control.

"213k!"

"Attention!"

Yan Jing was directly responsible for the experimental data, and she immediately reminded her when she saw the values.

Wang Hao heard the sound from the headset, and also glanced at the value of the meter, and looked up to see the superimposed force field area in the center and was stunned.

Many people were also stunned.

At that moment, they noticed that the area of the superimposed force field had become gray.

Gray is not just a color, when you look closely, your eyes seem to be sucked in, as if the surrounding light has been sucked away.

"What's that!"

"The color has changed? What is it? ”

"Don't look!"

"Academician Wang, danger!" He Yi stayed next to Wang Hao, and he, like everyone else, noticed the anomaly in the superimposed force field area.

His reaction was quick, and he immediately shouted loudly.

The two armed guards next to him immediately pulled Wang Hao into the safe house to avoid danger.

There was some confusion in the lab room.

When Wang Hao entered the safe room and looked outside, he found that the gloom in the center of the superimposed force field had disappeared.

"Gone?"

Just when he was feeling puzzled, he heard Yan Jing shouting with excitement and dissatisfaction, "Cooling group!" Note! It's already 218k! ”

"I see, the temperature did not hold ......"

Wang Hao took a deep breath and commanded excitedly, "Pay attention to the cooling team members, don't look at the center of the device, do your job, and keep the temperature at 214K as planned." ”

"Others do their jobs too, don't be influenced by experiments......"
