Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, in a well-guarded research institute in the emerging technology city and the huge heavy industrial park in Australia, an experiment to verify the 'mass effect' was quietly being carried out.

That’s right!

After more than half a month, 'Element Zero' has been successfully prepared. Then, the mass effect generator and certain experimental equipment have been produced, and today an important test will be conducted for

We also specially invited senior executives of PDC to watch.

In view of the importance of the experiment, this time the experiment will be presided over by Dr. Ding Yi personally, and senior officials such as Secretary General Say and Rotating Chairman of the PDC Planetary Defense Council Garnin will watch beside him.

"..."

After casting a glance at Secretary-General Sai and receiving a response, Dr. Ding Yi immediately walked to the front desk and stared at the cleared, highly confidential scientific research facility in front of the high-strength glass.

"I'm Ding Yi!"

"Attention all units!"

"The experiment begins!"

At this time, a test cabin for simulation experiments was standing on the ground in the center where the lights were focused. There was even a silicone dummy sitting in the cabin that was specially used to simulate the degree of damage.

The surface of the cabin is covered with all kinds of messy equipment and probes, which are some components of the most advanced mass effect shield generator on earth. Although it is only a test model, it was almost handmade in a month and a half.

It is a test device, but its expanded shield still shines with a faint blue light for everyone to see.

And just now, after Dr. Ding Yi announced the start of the experiment, it was activated. At this time, it had completely surrounded the experimental cabin and was prepared for the coming impact.

"Phase 1!"

"Kinetic impact test!"

"start!"

The experiment began, and with an order from the second-level experiment commander, the first round of testing—the pistol shooting test—began.

While everyone in the observation room felt that the atmosphere was beginning to become tense, soldiers wearing protective gear began to appear from behind the bunker at the test site below. Then they held pistols and pointed at the target that was impossible to miss. The distance was only fifty meters.

The huge test chambers on the left and right started firing "bang bang bang" again and again, causing dozens of low-speed pistol bullets to intensively cut through the air and directly hit the surface of the shield.

And the results of the experiment are very good!

Until the soldiers emptied the bullets in their pistols, their attacks, except for stimulating the mass effect shield with ripple-like energy fluctuations and countless ricocheting bullets, failed to penetrate the shield at all. It was considered perfect.

The ground fully demonstrated to the audience the excellent defense capabilities of its shield against small firepower.

Immediately afterwards, a series of tests such as rifles followed.

The high-precision sniper rifles, automatic rifles and large-caliber machine guns began to be locked on the target by the same heavily armed soldiers behind the same bunker. Then, as they lightly pulled the triggers after receiving the order, a bunch of tracer bullets were fired.

The bullet chain fired from below cut through the air and hit the shield fiercely, instantly causing the shield to erupt with larger ripples visible to the naked eye.

However, although the kinetic energy impact this time was strong, and ricochet missiles flew everywhere in the test site, they were all easily absorbed and transformed by the shield, which proved that the shield was ineffective in the face of medium-sized individual weapons.

Stability and reliability when handling heavy weapons such as vehicle-mounted firearms.

Then, the experiment reached its climax.

boom--!

With the roar and tremors of explosions, a bomb simulating a large-mass artillery shell was placed in the open space in front of the shield by engineers and detonated remotely, and the huge shock wave and flames generated by the explosion hit the shield directly.

Shield, causing the test cabin to be instantly enveloped in flames and smoke.

However……

When the dust settled, the shield was still intact!

Although the traces of energy flow on its surface were more obvious, it still successfully withstood the large-scale explosion and demonstrated extraordinary defensive capabilities.

Finally, simulated lightning tests and laser tests push the experiment to the extreme.

The high-energy generator installed on the top of the laboratory simulated the most violent lightning in nature. Electric light and lasers struck at the shield like a silver snake sword. In this spectacular scene of lightning and laser interweaving, although the shield did not

Effective defense, but certain arrangements of the cabin not only protect the safety of the dummy inside, but also seem to absorb the violent energy to a certain extent and further enhance its own stability and strength.

"alright!"

"Stop it!"

And when he saw that the ablative armor outside the bulkhead began to be overloaded, and some instruments began to be damaged by lightning and sounded alarms one after another, Dr. Ding Yi ordered the experiment to stop.

"Sirs!"

"As you can see, this test not only verified the excellent performance of the mass effect shield under extreme conditions, but also opened up new possibilities for the development of future technological protection fields."

"Facts have proven that the mass effect kinetic energy barrier can effectively resist most kinetic energy attacks, but it is relatively weak against rapid-fire weapons and may be overloaded under high-intensity shooting."

"The defense against lasers and lightning is almost negligible, but we also have corresponding defense methods."

"besides!"

"Kinetic energy screens do not provide any protection against extreme temperatures, poisons or radiation."

"However, the kinetic energy barrier is only a very simple application of the mass effect field. We will block demonstrations of other more important applications in the future, such as super-light navigation, anti-gravity engines, the production of ultra-high-strength materials, etc."

"But those applications may not be realized in the short term."

"besides……"

Since the experiment was a perfect success, Dr. Ding Yi, who became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, began to explain the situation just now and some future plans to the PDC bosses.

"alright."

“We don’t understand professional things!”

"Now that it has been verified that mass effect is indeed widely used and has huge potential, you can just go ahead and do it."

Before the other party could continue, Secretary-General Sai interrupted him first, then paused before continuing to add:

"Anyway!"

"We at the PDC and all countries around the world will fully support you!"

"We will give you whatever you want, just ask!"

"However, we have only one request, and that is: you must hurry up, three years..."

"No!"

"It is best within a year. We will see the results and start to install and mass-produce the fleet. During this period, you must modify at least one warship!"

"Even if it's just a trial model?"

"You just have to ask the Space Force which warship needs to be modified!"

"besides!"

"Confidentiality should be our top priority!"

Having said this, Secretary-General Sai straightened his face and spoke firmly, leaving no room for doubt.

"yes!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

It was indeed a bit rushed to build an experimental battleship within a year. However, since there were ready-made battleships available for him to modify, Dr. Ding Yi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"But!"

"Secretary-General, one year is too soon?"

"We plan to redesign..."

Although it can be driven out, Dr. Ding Yi still feels that the modified one is not as good as the new one. In that way, a lot of data will be more comprehensive, and it will be easier to find problems and make adjustments.

After all, they all came back from the world of Mass Effect, and they all remembered several sets of ready-made battleship blueprints, and those were the more suitable ones.

"Must hurry!"

"PhD!"

"Sophon may know that you have obtained the 'Mass Effect' at any time, and once Sophon knows, the Trisolarans will definitely know too!"

"Although they can't obtain those technologies from our brains, the traitors of ETO can provide them with some intelligence for analysis."

"In this way, they are bound to speed up, and they may even come to Earth in some way ahead of schedule?"

"So, we must speed up!"

"Delay will lead to change!"

Shaking her head, Sai herself felt that it was a bit overwhelming, but she still emphasized that she must complete the tasks she assigned within the time specified by her.

"yes!"

"Understood!"

"I will try my best to arrange it!"

Hearing this, Ding Yi nodded to express his understanding.

"Right."
