Chapter 1301

It's up to us.

Almost at the moment when the command was issued, the whole command room was like a machine. Every researcher and engineer sitting in the machine was like a gear wheel on a piece of spring, running step by step.

In the orbit of Mars tens of millions of kilometers away, the two circular rings around the black metal ball are like the wheels connected to the globe. Driven by a small electric propulsion engine, they control the ball in the center of the wheel slowly moving in the direction.

Finally, a large hexagon rivet shaped bulge is aimed at another Z particle clock floating in geosynchronous orbit tens of millions of kilometers away.

In the center of the rivet like protrusion, as the covering shell on the surface moves away, complex and delicate optics are exposed in the deep air.

At the same time, the solemn and steady call sounded in the ground command center.

"Turn on the high power laser calibrator."

Order issued.

The signal from the ground command center is received by the alpha particle clock floating in the synchronous orbit.

Almost at the same time, an invisible infrared light from the laser calibrator on the outside of Guolu shot straight to the distant Mars, and was caught by the β Z particle clock floating in the orbit of Mars.

Just like a sea bass, two spherical z-particle clocks around the wheel align with each other's emission interface under the guidance of laser, and draw a link that cannot be caught by the naked eye but exists in the dark and deep air.

Looking at the two metal spheres connected by the red line, the constantly changing orbit parameters displayed on the screen, and the prompt of [calibration success], director Li, standing in the command room, almost raised his heart to his throat. Luo Wenxuan, Edward Witten and a group of physicists invited to the scene were all unconsciously pinched The palm.

The critical moment is coming.

Whether the theory of hyperspace is right or wrong, it is absolutely a moment that can be recorded in history.

Even CERN has never done such an expensive experiment. Even if we don't calculate the emission cost, the sum of the costs of two z-particle clocks and their accessories is close to the 500 million mark.

If they succeed, they create history and future.

And if it fails

It's probably the most expensive of all the fireworks ever set off in human history.

"Launch port on!"

"Open successfully!"

"Core ignition preparation - ignition!"

With a series of orders issued, after more than 200 seconds of waiting, two Z particle clocks separated by tens of millions of kilometers vibrated slightly at the same time.

The emission array composed of hundreds of thousands of laser sources was illuminated in a flash, and the pulsed ultraviolet light with 13 million joules energy was shot at the ignition target at the center of the ball almost without dead angle from all directions.

Inside the huge hollow metal ball, it is filled with ultraviolet light in a flash. Even the light that does not shine on the ignition target is reflected by 8000 pieces of titanium phosphate glass evenly distributed on the inside of the spherical shell, and is focused on a point.

Almost at the moment when the laser array is lit, the shell of the fuel pellet, which is located on the ignition target and has a diameter of about 5mm, is vaporized in an instant, and ignited together with the deuterium and tritium fuel inside under the heat of 100 million degrees.

The energy of a star is released in a flash, pushing the lead core inside the sphere to collide, squeeze, gasify and ionize. In this constant friction and collision, the Z particle swaying in the high-dimensional universe is finally caught by the terrifying force!

Ground command center, the researcher sitting in front of the working position, suddenly gave out an excited shout.

"Gravity anomaly signal observed!"

At the moment of hearing the report, the ship gave the final order without any hesitation.

"Start photon source!"

"Yes!"

With the help of the electric propulsion engine, two intersecting wheels fixed the spherical Z particle clock in its original position, and maintained the alignment of the photon source transmitter and receiver under the guidance of that infrared beam.

At the same time, the positive and negative electrons collide in the photon source at the front of the β Z particle clock in the orbit of Mars.

As a series of invisible sparks burst out, entangled photons burst out in a flash.

One of them is straight ahead along the original orbit, while the other is captured by the gravitational field disturbed by the vibration of Z particle, which is projected into the already disturbed gravitational field, and runs to the receiver tens of millions of kilometers away along the almost identical but not completely consistent track.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment.

Looking at the timer on the big screen, the heart beat of the boat almost synchronized with it.

He also kept his eyes fixed on the beating seconds, while director Li kept saying something in his mouth, just like praying, waiting for the final experimental results.Standing behind him, Secretary General Luo, Professor Witten, Professor vilzek, as well as representatives of imcrc's national councils and invited scholars who arrived at the scene, almost maintained the same action, standing there like a sculpture, looking at the big screen and sticking to it.

Finally, when the number on the No. 1 timer jumped to 207.1s, the atmosphere in the command center seemed to be frozen and solidified there.

The rest of the second is as long as a century.

And when it completely crossed the past, the No. 2 timer, which continued to beat, was like the Lei tube that detonated the explosives, completely detonating the frozen atmosphere in the command center!

The cheers sounded like a storm. People clenched their fists, or waved their fists, or threw their hats, papers, or even pens into the sky.

The boiling atmosphere almost overturned the ceiling.

People of different colors, speaking different languages, have left the same excited and moving tears.

Looking at the No.2 timer that continues to beat and finally stops at [270.7s], the throat knot of Lu Zhou moves slightly, and the tight face finally relieves a relaxed smile.

Timer 1 is set at 207.1s.

In other words, the first photons to reach the receiver have traveled 65 million kilometers.

Compared with the straight-line distance of about 85 million kilometers between the two Z particle clocks, this photon "saves" at least 20 million kilometers!

On the premise of the principle that the speed of light is constant, there is only one explanation that this photon reaches the "end point" ahead of time

And the homologous photon control group, which then reached the "end point", and the second reading of 270.7s on timer 2, also proved his conclusion again.

And it's time difference of 63.6s!

At this moment, all doubts and arguments are settled in an instant.

Under the witness of all people, the oscillating Z particle disturbed the invisible but real gravitational link between the earth and Mars, changed the curvature of space-time, straightened the folded space-time, and opened a hyperspace channel beyond the three-dimensional space itself.

Maybe this is not the best route.

Even it's fragile like a child's soap bubble blowing to the sun, rugged like a mountain path paved with gravel.

In some invisible place, there must be a better way to create a more stable and "straight" hyperspace channel, so that the photon can reach the distant Mars in a shorter time - or even less than a second, even beyond the solar system, the border of the Milky way.

However, its existence is still so dazzling.

Just like a vast and long epic, the first note sung by the poet.

Maybe in the story of countless notes weaving, there will be countless heroes and great people coming to the stage, but even so, even if they add all their great works together, they can't match the light of the first moment.

Maybe it's too far to talk about it now.

But there is no doubt about that.

That is the land boat standing in the command center, which once again proves that he and his theory -

are correct!
