Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 343: Follow-up to the test flight, has the research on the origin theory entered a bottleneck period?
The Shark's test flight caused a huge sensation, and its superior performance made military experts on the other side of the ocean despair.

Top decision makers also had to find hope in despair. They found a large number of professional scholars in the new physics and technology fields, hoping to conduct an in-depth analysis of the technology contained in the Shark, especially the Shark's power system.

It is simply incomprehensible that a flying machine of this weight can be so agile and accelerate very quickly in all directions.

At least the existing technology cannot be analyzed.

They held a special meeting.

The scholars divided into many discussion groups and carefully studied the exposed video, and finally came to two conclusions.

"One possibility is that they have a power technology that we don't know about."

"This possibility exists. They already have a lot of new physics technologies, so the emergence of a new technology is nothing."

"For example, it may be related to some kind of powerful reaction, such as ion-to-air weapons. Some unknown reactions, or even space-related technologies, may allow the aircraft to accelerate directly."

"In fact, this possibility is not small, because gravity technology itself is related to space."

"Another possibility is that the gravity technology they have mastered has reached a very advanced level, and they are able to create a gravity field with a power of three times or even more."

"Then relying on the gravitational field itself, the aircraft can be accelerated directly."

Scholars have analyzed both possibilities.

Many people were silent.

No matter which possibility it is, it makes people feel very desperate because there is an unbridgeable technological gap between them.

This is just the power aspect.

The energy for the aircraft undoubtedly comes from low-temperature nuclear fusion. Their research on low-temperature nuclear fusion caused a serious accident, and the project is still suspended.

In the research of gravity technology, several institutions and teams have made breakthroughs, but the highest they have produced is only 0.8 times gravity.

The gravitational intensity value is already not low, but the problem is that it cannot be applied in the short term. The main limitation is the need for superconductors, and it can only be manufactured on the ground.

"Even if we can create a high-magnification gravitational field and even if we don't need superconducting support, gravitational technology still can't get rid of the limitations of the ground."

"We don't have any super energy devices that can be used in the sky!"

After all, let’s get back to the topic of technology.

In order to manufacture a gravity aircraft, we must have perfect gravity technology and super energy technology.

The most likely super energy technology to be realized is low-temperature nuclear fusion.

If low-temperature nuclear fusion can be developed, it can be used in aircraft even if the gravity technology is relatively poor.

After a lot of analysis, the decision-makers on the other side of the ocean held a series of important meetings and communicated with other countries to once again determine the main direction.

"Develop new physics technology!"

"We must research and develop new physical technologies so that we can have a chance to catch up with the ancient countries on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean in the future. Otherwise, we will fall far behind."

"The current support is not enough, far from enough. We should invest more funds in research in new physics directions, and other directions can be appropriately slowed down..."

“This is the most important job!”

The tone set at the decision-making meeting was very good, but there was no specific plan on how to do it. The main reason was that they did not have a complete theory, and a lot of research could only be done through experiments and hazard-like attempts.

This is what gravity technology is all about, through repeated experiments and verifications, the technology is improved through continuous accumulation of experience.

This is also the reason why gravity technology is developing slowly.

However, the decision made at the meeting was effective. The horn layer immediately announced a series of measures, including support for gravitational technology, low-temperature nuclear fusion, research on nuclear fission reactions, basic research on electromagnetic force and strong force, and so on.

At the same time, it was also decided to increase financial allocations to provide direct support for new physics-related research and development at the highest level.

The meeting was not just about talking. When things were put on the ground, a lot of changes and impacts occurred.

For example, Taylor Wilson was re-employed and appointed as the first leader of the low-temperature nuclear fusion research and development project team.

The first decision-maker also met with Taylor Wilson and decided to provide no less than $2 billion in funding support in the short term.

Two billion US dollars is equivalent to the annual funding of an international laboratory.

For example, Fermilab.

Fermilab has several thousand employees and a number of heavy projects, but its annual funding is only $2 billion.

All this money, if put into a research project, could be used to build several tokamak nuclear reactors.

The research and development of gravity technology also received support, and several laboratories, even corporate teams, received direct financial support.

In addition to supporting the development of new physics technologies, high-level decision-making also emphasized other tasks, including intelligence work and cooperative negotiations.

"We need to have further communication and negotiations with them, hoping that they can open up some new physics technology fields."

"For example, gravity, certain technologies can be opened up."

"Of course it would be best if we could discuss cooperation on low-temperature nuclear fusion, or super energy technology."

"Intelligence work is also very important. We need more data, more confidential information..."

……

While the work was being carried out vigorously on the other side of the ocean, international public opinion continued to discuss the test flight of the Shark spacecraft.

Domestic discussions are also very heated, and ordinary people feel a sense of pride in the country's high-end technology when they see the news.

During the ongoing discussions, the basic performance and parameters of the Shark were also analyzed.

For example, the weight exceeds 80 tons.

The flight altitude exceeds 5 meters and the one-way acceleration exceeds 18m/s.

The bomb carrying capacity is amazing, easily exceeding fifty tons.

A series of performance parameters have been revealed through various analyses and rumors. Summarizing the information together, it is easy to conclude that the Shark is a space battleship that existing technology cannot cope with.

"The only thing that can pose a threat to the Shark is ion anti-aircraft weapons."

"But ion-to-air weapons are also limited by their strike range. The high-end air-to-ground missiles carried by fighter jets can have a strike range of more than 900 kilometers, and even more than kilometers at most. The strike range of particle-to-air weapons may not be that far..."

"Of course, ion-to-air weapons are very secretive, and the strike is instantaneous. If the Shark hadn't detected it in advance, it might have been hit."

"The problem is that both military technologies are only mastered domestically..."

While public opinion was swirling, information related to the Shark spacecraft was also released domestically.

It was during a press conference that the press officer mentioned the Shark and said, "The Shark is the first gravity vehicle that is certain to be put into service."

"All kinds of tests have reached the later stages. According to the plan, the first Shark spacecraft will be put into service within half a year..."

The information ends here.

The press officer did not respond to any other questions raised by the reporter.

In fact, after the Shark test flight was completed, domestic work was also very busy and the space platform plan was already under discussion.

Of course, this is just discussion for now.

This is a necessary step in the early stages of a large project. It requires meetings to discuss and estimate funding needs, have an expectation of the amount of work to be done, and determine the required technology and which departments are required to cooperate.

The space platform program must be a project that requires the cooperation of multiple departments and requires huge investment of funds and workload to complete.

High-end teachers attach great importance to it.

If we can build a space platform, our country’s military will directly reach its peak, and there will be no rivals in either defense or offense.

Amidst all the public opinion, Zhang Shuo returned to Suzhou in a low-key manner and resumed his normal working life.

The research on the origin theory has reached a bottleneck period.

In the field of basic theory, electromagnetic force, gravity and strong force have all been studied very thoroughly.

There are complete theories for the three forces, and the technology for their transformation is also developing in many directions.

Of course, with the support of underlying theories, the technologies that can be transformed are diverse, but technological transformation requires more time rather than high-end research.

Zhang Shuo personally feels that research related to the origin point theory has entered a bottleneck period.

If we want to go further, we must study the last force - the weak force.

Research on weak force is the key to further breakthroughs in theory and technology.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo paid more attention to the research of the chaos force field experimental group.

Improvements to the experimental group's equipment have been ongoing, and normally testing will be possible in another two months.

By then, it is unclear what will be discovered.

"If it is just an experimental discovery, it is still very difficult to use it as a breakthrough to improve the theory..."

"We need more people to participate in research on the weak force and related theories."

Zhang Shuo thought about it, opened his mailbox and found an invitation letter.

That was a new international academic conference on source point theory research.

A new meeting is here again.

The conference was held in the capital and was jointly organized by the Department of Physics, the Center for Condensed Matter Physics Research and the Institute of New Physics and Technology at Mizuki University.

Among them, the Institute of New Physics Science and Technology is the most powerful, and they are also the physics institution second only to the Source Point Theory Research Center in the direction of new physics research.

The Institute of New Physics Technology was established less than three years ago. It was jointly built by the Academy of Sciences and several universities and institutions. Its original site was the Institute of Theoretical Physics of Capital University. Its goal was to devote itself to the research of new physics theories.

They also have a team that specializes in researching gravity application technology, and have achieved many related results.

For example, the simulated space environment used for astronaut training was developed by a team from the Institute of New Physics and Technology.

It is a space of more than one hundred cubic meters, where the internal gravity intensity can be adjusted to simulate the weightless environment in space and allow astronauts to conduct adaptive training.

In addition, they also study the multi-directional applications of gravity technology, mainly focusing on the civilian field.

Teachers have high hopes for research and development in this area, because new physics technology will surely be transformed into a driving force for development in the future.

Development is not just about military technology or aerospace technology.

If you want a technology to develop over the long term, it must be popularized among the people to increase productivity.

Only when the most basic productivity is increased can development be more rapid.

If the new physics technology is used in the military, it will be limited to the earth. Senior teachers support the development of space platforms, not only as a military strategy, but also hope that space platforms can become a springboard for future exploration of the universe.

Against the backdrop of international discussion surrounding the Shark spacecraft, the International Academic Conference on Origin Point Theory has attracted widespread attention from the academic community.

Experts and scholars from all countries hope to understand the most cutting-edge theories and hope to participate in discussions on top theories and technologies.

Therefore, a large number of scholars apply to attend academic conferences.

Driven by new physics technology, China has essentially become the core of international physics academia.

Zhang Shuo also attaches great importance to the conference. He hopes that through the conference, he can call on more scholars to participate in the research of weak forces.

Only when more people conduct research can there be more results and more foundations to improve the theory.

If you attach importance to the meeting, you will naturally be prepared.

Zhang Shuo not only prepared an academic report on theoretical research, but also prepared a speech, which he will deliver at the opening ceremony of the conference.

The title of the speech is "The Research on Source Point Theory (New Physics) Has Entered a Bottleneck Period"...
