From university lecturer to chief academician.

Chapter 675: Technology related to the fate of mankind, Wang Hao: The experiment was successful!

As public opinion focused on energy transfer research, the first media quickly reported the interview with Wang Hao.

The interview was also included in the news program during prime time the next day, and some segments were as long as five minutes. It is extremely rare for an individual interview to be included in prime time news.

This shows that senior management attaches great importance to interviews.

The reason why the higher authorities carried out such heavy publicity was, on the one hand, to respond to the heated public opinion.

On the other hand, it is also to express the importance of research, to promote high-end scientific research to the world, and to establish China's status as the country with the highest level of science and technology.

Another point is to increase deterrence.

Research related to energy transmission, when used in military weapons, means cross-dimensional strike capabilities. Telling the world in a high-profile manner that we possess this technology is enough to form a huge deterrent.

After the report was released, public opinion at home and abroad became even more excited.

What many people did not expect was that Wang Hao actually appeared in the public eye, accepted a face-to-face interview, and admitted to conducting research on energy transmission. He also talked about a lot of things, including the research projects he had done, the technologies involved, and a new theory.

The news clips released during prime time included Wang Hao’s explanation of the new theory.

He said that the research was done by his students, but everyone felt that the research was definitely inseparable from him. The research was labeled "Wang Hao" and the expectations for it were already very high.

That is a matter transmission experiment, which can be directly understood as wormhole technology.

Wormhole technology is a cross-galaxy teleportation technology that only appears in science fiction novels. Humans must master wormhole technology before they can conduct cross-galaxy exploration.

This is mainly because the universe is too huge.

It is now certain that the range of influence of the sun alone is more than one light year. One light year requires one year of flight at the speed of light.

In other words, even if a spacecraft could reach the speed of light, it would still take a year to get out of the sun's sphere of influence, and to reach the nearest galaxy, it would take at least five years.

This kind of journey, measured in light years, would make any advanced spacecraft despair.

Without wormhole technology, no matter how advanced the spacecraft is, interstellar travel is equivalent to "wandering", which is equivalent to embarking on a journey where you don't know whether you can return in your lifetime.

In addition, humans have not yet explored the outer solar system, and it is uncertain whether there are risks around the solar system.

This means that if a spacecraft relies solely on flying out of the solar system, it may face very great risks and may even end up on a journey to death.

It would be different if we had wormhole technology.

A wormhole can connect two galaxies together, and a spacecraft can directly reach another galaxy by passing through the wormhole, greatly reducing the distance while increasing safety.

Therefore, the scientific community generally believes that only when humans possess wormhole technology will they be able to explore beyond the solar system, and at the same time they will have a bright future and truly embark on the path of conquering the universe.

Otherwise, humans would be confined to the solar system.

No matter how advanced and developed our technology is, if we cannot leave the solar system, we will have to face the current situation of resource scarcity.

In the solar system, the only planet that can sustain normal human survival is the Earth, but the Earth is almost overcrowded by humans. Human activities have had a great impact on the weather and have caused huge environmental problems.

At the same time, the solar system is short of resources and there are very few valuable planets, which will also lead to serious restrictions on human development.

Against this background, exploring other galaxies becomes very important and will make the future of human development infinitely broad.

After Wang Hao's interview report came out, public opinion at home and abroad was heatedly discussed, and a large number of scientists stood up to express their views on matter transmission technology. "If we can master matter transmission technology, that is, wormhole technology, we can build large spacecraft and large wormholes."

"All countries can unite and gather the strength of all mankind to get out of the solar system together."

"This is no longer a fantasy, but a choice before us."

"Then mankind will truly enter the era of interstellar migration. Earth will no longer be the only planet, and mankind will truly step into the universe..."

"When it comes to interstellar exploration, which is related to the fate of mankind, all disputes are unimportant."

"The most important thing at the moment is to master the technology of matter transmission!"

"Everyone would hope that Wang Hao's team's research would be successful and the theory of material transmission would be verified..."

This is a fact.

Even in America, there are many people who hope that the new theory can be verified.

That represents an infinitely broad future for mankind.

This kind of material transfer technology has long gone beyond the scope of Earth's science and technology, and using it on Earth is really a waste of talent.

If a team masters this technology, it will be a good thing for all mankind, and the original disputes will no longer be important.

Amid the heated public opinion, many people began to pay attention to the verification of the new theory.

How long does verification take?

Many people started discussing, "Generally speaking, it takes dozens or even hundreds of years for a new physical theory to be developed and verified."

"Now that we have energy transmission technology, it means that space can be penetrated, or two extremely long-distance spaces can be connected together, so matter transmission must exist."

“Even if the new theory is incorrect, the technology exists.”

“We need to increase our research efforts.”

"The flower growers have mastered the technology to build large spaceships. They have created a light pressure engine that can drive large spaceships to travel quickly in the universe."

"If we also have wormhole technology, humans can directly embark on the path of exploring the universe."

"The experiment needs more people to participate, and more manpower and material resources should be invested to speed up the research..."

Many foreign scientists naturally hope to participate in experimental research, and they very much want to join the most cutting-edge research.

Some countries and institutions have also contacted flower growers, hoping to get a piece of the research pie, and have promised large investments.

Others shouted slogans, such as "The exploration of the universe is related to the fate of all mankind", "The construction of super-large wormholes in the future requires the participation of all mankind", and so on.

There is some truth to these slogans.

In the future, building a super-large wormhole will definitely be a huge project. It cannot be created by just one organization. Many countries and institutions will definitely be involved.

But, that's the future.

When the research is still in the rapid progress stage, it is simply impossible for other countries and institutions to participate in it.

……

While the public is still discussing how long it will take to have wormhole technology, the strong S-wave research group is already preparing to verify it.

Everyone in the research team hopes to have experimental discoveries. On the one hand, it proves that the theory is correct. On the other hand, experimental discoveries also mean that they have developed the technology for material transmission.

Wang Hao also very much hopes that the experiment will yield discoveries.

During the interview, he only explained the new theory and expressed the hope that it could be verified in the future, but he did not talk about immediate verification.

This is mainly because it is uncertain whether the experiment will yield any findings.

If there are any discoveries in the experiment, it will not be too late to make them public according to the circumstances.

During the preparation stage of the experiment, the research team had released five strong S-wave thin layers at the same location in space. The next three times did not involve energy transfer experiments, but only sent out the Thousand Falcon spacecraft for observation.

The last time a new spacecraft was sent out - the Thousand Falcon Radar Ship.

The Qianfalcon radar ship, which is a conventional Qianfalcon spacecraft, is equipped with very high-precision radar facilities that rely on the production of conventional pulse shortwaves to detect objects in space.

When the Thousand Falcon radar ship is traveling in space, it can detect objects larger than five centimeters within a range of fifty kilometers.

The research team also completed the equipment modification.

The equipment is designed very finely. A lifting rod is placed at the bottom of the location where the black ball appears, and below it is a strong electromagnetic device.

After the experiment begins, the specially made silicon ball will be placed in the equipment under the lifting rod. The strong electromagnetism inside the equipment can keep the outer layer of the silicon ball with strong magnetic properties.

After the black ball is produced, the lifting rod will transport the silicon ball into the black ball in a very short time, no more than 0.1 second.

This experiment received great attention.

Teacher Xu from the science and technology department was present at the event, and two teachers from the military also came to watch.

Everyone wants the experiment to be successful.

This also put a lot of pressure on Chen Mengmeng's team. Such a painstaking experiment was also a verification of their theory.

If the experiment can lead to a discovery, they will become famous overnight. Not only will they become the top physicists, their names will be recorded in the history of human science and technology, and they will become historical superstars.

Soon, the experiment entered the final preparation stage.

Many safety measures were taken around the equipment. Most people went into the air-raid shelter to wait, and only the experiment control personnel were left, and they were all in safe and protected positions.

At the same time, three high-precision satellites were aimed at the location where the strong S-wave thin layer appeared.

The Qianshun gravity ship was suspended twenty kilometers away, and the Qianxun radar ship was even closer, only ten kilometers away from the center point.

Once the experiment begins, the radar ship needs to sail quickly towards the center point, turn on the radar equipment, and detect the position of the center point to see if any matter is transmitted there.

For space, a sphere with a diameter of five centimeters is too small, and the teleportation phenomenon occurred during the experiment, and it is very likely that only a very small part was teleported.

Then the detection will be more difficult and detection still needs to rely on radar ships.

Research Base.

Wang Hao sat with Teacher Xu. After listening to the reports of each section, he pursed his lips and ordered calmly, "Let's start!"

All he had to do was yell 'go'.

Wang Qiang was in charge of the front-line experimental work. After hearing the instructions, he immediately announced the start of the experiment.

All departments carried out a comprehensive inspection of the equipment inside and outside according to the established plan. After everything was normal, the internal and external circuit switches were turned on.

After all the internal and external circuit switches were turned on, Wang Qiang took a deep breath and shouted, "Main line connected, ready!"

"3, 2, 1..."

"Connected!"

At that moment, everyone saw the empty space in the center.

After the main line was connected, less than two seconds later, the open space became pitch black.

The next moment, a strong laser shone on the black ball.

At the same time, the lifting rod below suddenly bounced up, and a silicon ball with a silver surface was placed inside the black ball.

Smoke and flashes of lightning can be clearly seen at the edge of the black ball.

The experimental controllers who were close by could hear a crackling sound, which felt like metal burning.

As everyone was on tenterhooks, ten seconds passed quickly and the black ball quickly disappeared from sight. What remained in its place was a lifting rod emitting black smoke and a shriveled object hanging on it.

"Failed?"

Wang Hao stared at the screen and frowned, then he shouted in surprise, "Success!"

Teacher Xu and the others looked at him in confusion, their eyes almost saying, "How did it succeed?"

Wang Hao did not explain, but stood up with surprise and asked the uniformed personnel next to him, "Hurry!"

"Take a look at the real-time signal coming from the radar ship!"

“It should have been detected over there!”

"—!"
