230: Chapter 230: National Science and Technology Departments

"Oh my god, we did it!"

"Success! We really reproduced the anomalous thrust!"

"Although the thrust is minuscule, the principle has been verified! Hahahaha!"

"Light, or even electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency, can actually generate net thrust within a specifically structured cavity; this completely defies the intuition of classical physics, but it is damn well happening in an incredible way!"

"If this is true, if the universe is really a giant resonant cavity, we seem to have cracked the mystery of what the universe actually is!"

Regardless of their previous attitudes, all the professors and researchers were completely stunned at this moment upon seeing the reproducible experimental data.

This was not just a measurement of minuscule thrust; it was a window into an entirely new physical phenomenon, the first practical experimental support for Jiang Zhe's shocking conjecture!

This was not at all like the somewhat ethereal nature of the past xia country brain; it was a solid, super technology that could be applied in reality!!!

Just as everyone was either covering their mouths or showing signs of shock, Ouyang Baili immediately regained his composure and scanned the crowd, "Don't get too excited. This is just the beginning, not the end or the final result."

"All responsible personnel, organize all raw data, experimental logs, environmental parameters, and analysis processes immediately."

"I need to submit this to the Ministry of Science and Technology in a while. Let them see that the energy for a perpetual motion machine... is actually light!!!"

After finishing, he looked at Li Mo and Professor Wu, "You two are responsible for the technical core of the report. It must be extremely rigorous; no details can be omitted!"

Then, he looked at Guan Jingming, "Old Guan, activate the highest encryption authority. I want this report and the experimental video sent directly to the Major Basic Research Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology."

Professor Guan shook his head, pulling himself out of the joy, "I will personally encrypt the files and videos!"

During the planning process, news from within the Huaqing University physics laboratory quickly swept through the entire Huaqing University.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Did they really succeed?"

"Isn't light a particle-wave duality? How could it make a machine generate net thrust?"

"Damn, did I learn fake physics?"

"Good grief, this major discovery was first from NASA, then they said they couldn't do it and couldn't reproduce it, and now it turns out it can be reproduced on our side?"

"Xiao Yu's Brother's idea? Damn, I knew it. How could that guy Ouyang dare to be so bold!"

"Who is Xiao Yu's Brother, and who is Student J?"

"It's him..."

While the report was being organized, more and more top students and academic geniuses looked forward expectantly toward the underground laboratory not far away, sitting around on the lawn.

But after waiting for a long time, they didn't see the primary experimenter appear.

"Let's disperse, let's disperse."

"We won't get the first-hand news."

"It will probably be reported directly to the science and technology department. This matter is too serious after all. If it can really be developed on a large scale, future renewable energy won't be an issue at all; we can just use light to solve it!"

"..."

The news came fast and went fast.

Three hours later, a top-secret report bearing the electronic seal of the Huaqing University physics laboratory arrived at the relevant department of the Ministry of Science and Technology through multiple encrypted channels.

Inside the laboratory, in front of the main control computer.

The computer that was originally processing data had now turned into a video conference.

A tall, square-faced, dignified-looking middle-aged or elderly man in a suit appeared on the screen, with a scholarly office in the background.

"Professor Ouyang, Professor Wu, Professor Guan, and also Li Mo." The official nodded slightly and said calmly: "I have received your emergency report. A preliminary review shows the conclusion is very shocking—as long as the world doesn't end, it will continue to generate thrust."

"The future core of anti-gravity has potential!"

"However, I remember that you, Professor Ouyang, have always been rigorous and conservative. It is very rare for you to be so urgent and highly confident in sending an experimental result that seems to defy common sense!"

At this point in the conversation, the official's stiff demeanor softened a bit, "The design concept and key parameters of this experiment do not seem to come from the past accumulation of your laboratory; can you tell me where the initial inspiration, or that conjecture, came from?"

Inside the laboratory.

Ouyang Baili, Professor Wu, Professor Guan, and Li Mo looked at each other.

Ouyang Baili nodded slightly, "It came from an open online postdoctoral defense, from a young man named Jiang Zhe."

"In the debate, he cited a controversial NASA report as a guide, leading to the incredible conjecture that light pressure might drive the expansion of the universe, and he also hinted at the possibility of a specific electromagnetic environment and a specific structure..."

Opposite, the official raised his eyebrows slightly, then showed an expression of realization, his face gradually turning into a smile, "Oh, that young man from the xia country brain, right? He also provided the starting point and direction for the third type of super intelligence."

Speaking of the xia country brain, this official had a deep memory.

"Or rather, it's Xiao Yu's Brother or even Student J. I should have thought of that."

The official nodded slightly, "This young man is very interesting!"

"Our profiling analysis team at the Ministry of Science and Technology has conducted a preliminary assessment of him. He is a very interesting young man with shocking talent and insight, but his psychological profile shows—he is more like an aloof bystander."

"Or rather, an outsider."

"All his actions seem to revolve around educating his sister."

"As for patriotism, technological competition, and the future of humanity, he shows a detached indifference, as if all development has nothing to do with him."

"It's as if every move of our country, every matter, and every scene has nothing to do with him, and cannot arouse his true interest or investment."

At this point, the official put away his smile and said with a serious face: "However, this does not hinder him from contributing sparks of thought that can change the future. I understand the value of this report; the ministry will immediately organize a high-level expert group to conduct a review and verification, and evaluate potential application scenarios."

"Thank you all for your work and excellent vision, especially that 25-year-old outsider!"

Ouyang Baili chatted with the official for twenty-five minutes before hanging up.

Before hanging up, Ouyang Baili asked a question he had wanted to ask but didn't dare to: "What about the xia country brain..."

"Oh, the xia country brain..." The official grinned and held up one finger, "It will take this long!"

1 year...

Ouyang Baili, Li Mo, and Guan Jingming's eyes lit up, and then the call was disconnected.

After the communication ended, Ouyang Baili looked confused, repeating: "An outsider, how does Jiang Zhe manage to have the ability to change the world yet remain aloof?"

Guan Jingming sighed: "The world of a super genius may not have concepts of patriotism; perhaps we cannot judge him by common sense. The reason he can see what we cannot is because he does not place himself inside the situation."

Professor Wu was more realistic and asked a more practical question: "Ouyang, if all this is confirmed and this path is truly viable, how long do you think it will take to develop the most basic anti-gravity technology demonstration prototype?"

Ouyang Baili looked around at his friends, and finally his eyes fell on Professor Wu, "By the most optimistic estimate, concentrating the best resources, solving the theoretical models, materials, energy, control, amplification effects... a series of difficulties, at least, fifteen years!!!"

Li Mo heard this and was a bit disappointed, "15 years... but that's worth it. At least we know the direction now; it's better than us fumbling in the dark for so-called dark energy!"

"Uncle Ouyang, what about our next paper?"

Professor Ouyang walked out of the laboratory, leaving a sentence without looking back: "Scientists have a motherland!"

"Oh..."
