New York, United States.
In the National Laboratory directly under the Energy Bureau, the Rookhaven National Laboratory.
The materials physicists, led by Latchis, gathered with the electronic engineers.
This group of scientists won the Westinghouse Science Genius Award when they were young and published countless papers in CNS journals. They have been frowning for almost half a month.
In this national laboratory, which is at the forefront of world science and technology, especially in the fields of material physics and chemistry, environmental and energy research, which has reached the world's leading level, six sewage treatment systems produced by Amano Heavy Industries are neatly arranged in a highly clean dust-free test zone.
Every sewage treatment system here is surrounded by tailor-made thick lead plates, and the interface lines for detection are concentrated together, equipped with active degaussing rings. Even the scientists on the side are wearing fully-enclosed electromagnetic isolation suits.
Behind these scientists, there are also five coil devices emitting silver-white metallic light, which is a circle of high-purity silver wrapped in a perfect geometric shape on a non-magnetic alloy.
The shape of these pure silver coils is not the same as the two sewage treatment system coils that were melted because of a short circuit. It seems that these scientists have realized that there is a fatal problem with the previous coil structure.
Now, the scientists wearing electromagnetic isolation suits were gathered in front of a brand-new coil, discussing something. From time to time, someone wants to scratch their head and think, but they encounter a bulky isolation helmet.
Wearing this isolation suit, they can't drink water or eat, and they even have to communicate through the built-in headset to speak.
At first, no one complained. Was it necessary to make a big deal about these devices? There was not even a radioactive substance above 100 microsieverts in them. However, after an abnormal fluctuation in the ionization field, no one objected to this, and they even hung a layer of soft lead baffles on important parts.
All of this is due to the sewage treatment system drawings that Amano Heavy Industries voluntarily turned over.
The importance of the sewage treatment system does not need to be described too much. The Environmental Protection Agency thinks that Amano Heavy Industries can do it, so can the more powerful United States.
Can't compare with Monster Heavy Industries, can't compare with Amano Heavy Industries?
What's more, they have the drawings, and they can make secondary research and development improvements based on the technology of Amano Heavy Industries.
It has been half a month since the establishment of the Ionization Sewage Technology Research Group, and they have given people and equipment. Even Latchis, a scientist who is developing carbon nanomaterials, has been pulled into the group.
During this period of time, they discovered three extremely serious technical flaws. Unfortunately, they were unable to solve these three flaws for the time being. Therefore, the leader of the team, Lagis, decided to solve the most important coil structure first.
So far, they have used the technology obtained from Amano Heavy Industries and remade five coils with different structures according to their understanding of the electromagnetic field.
Now, they were going to test whether one of the five coils could operate stably.
"Turn on the electromagnetic trap. Start from No.01." Lagis, who was in his fifties this year and had the potential to become the next Nobel Prize winner, said in a haggard voice through the built-in earpiece.
"Understood. Test subject 01's record is now open." Along with the report in the headset, a few high-speed cameras slowly turned around at a high position in the test area and aimed at the first pure silver metal coil.
"Understood. Activate the electromagnetic catcher."
The response to this sentence was a pure black sensor board more than five meters in diameter that looked like a radar pot antenna device. It was slowly hung to the end of the pure silver metal coil.
Electromagnetic waves really exist, but they cannot be captured by the naked eye.
The Rookhaven National Laboratory, which has powerful scientific and technological strength, has created a large receiver that can capture electromagnetic waves in a very short time and can be expressed on the instrument in the form of a field.
With this device, scientists can intuitively distinguish the working mode of each coil structure.
When the electromagnetic catcher was in place, the test officially entered the countdown.
"Ten!"
With the countdown, the scientists who were already standing outside the danger area couldn't help but take a step back.
When the countdown reached one, they had already retreated to the corner in their isolation suits.
At the moment when the coil was activated, there was no great momentum, only invisible electromagnetic waves bombarded the sensor, making the special induction coating emit a dazzling purple light.
The instrument silently recorded the activity of the electromagnetic field, but it did not last for dozens of seconds. The originally regular magnetic field on the instrument suddenly became chaotic lines, and Archimedes would not be able to find the pattern.
A minute later, the purple light disappeared.
After a short inspection, the scientists found that one-third of the extremely expensive coil had melted.
If one was melted or broken, the entire coil would be scrapped, let alone one-third.
"Test number 02!" Latchis gritted his teeth and said.
After the same preparation process, the test of coil number 02 began.
This time, the pure silver coil that cost tens of millions of dollars didn't even last five seconds before it short-circuited and melted.
"Test number 03!" Latchis' forehead was covered in nervous sweat.
Ten minutes later …
"Test number 04!" Latchis' heart was bleeding.
"Test number 05!" Latchis' voice was filled with despair.
God didn't disappoint him. The last coil device was successfully destroyed, and the moment it was destroyed, it released a magnetic field with a strength of 22T. Not only did it destroy itself, but it also destroyed the electromagnetic catcher that could only withstand a 12T induction limit.
The phrase "scientific research and development is a bottomless pit" was vividly expressed at this moment.
In just one afternoon, the team led by Latchis had already lost nearly 60 million USD worth of experimental materials.
The annual research funding of the Brookhaven Laboratory was between 400 million USD and 500 million USD. Although their project was temporarily funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and the finance department alone, if they were to lose in this way, not to mention the Environmental Protection Agency and the Ministry of Finance, even the Federal Reserve would not be able to withstand it.
After the failure, it was the conclusion of the failure.
In the room with many advanced experimental instruments, Latchis took off his isolation helmet and squatted on the ground with a decadent face.
"I underestimated the technical difficulty of this system. Five failed experiments told me that the coil structure made by Amano Heavy Industries is far more perfect than our redesign. At least some of them can work for several days in a row. "
"But there is a gap between the coil structure of Monster Heavy Industries that can work stably for a long time and the distance between here and Hua Xia."
"The software is not good either." Another scientist, who was pivotal in the field of electronic engineering, said silently with his eyes, "The program chip that Amano Heavy Industries dismantled from the ionization purifier can't drive this system at all."
"I think the real system should be the kind that can adjust the way and strength of the current through the coil at any time according to the pollutants in the water to create different modes of electromagnetic fields."
"At present, I have no clue. I'm afraid that only aliens can write software that can control electromagnetic fields."
Latchis pursed his pale lips, stood up again, and carefully reviewed the working mode of the magnetic field captured by the instrument just now.
It was an endless line that was constantly changing shape. The more Latchis observed, the more mysterious these magnetic fields were. It seemed that the trajectory of sunspots he had studied was not as complicated as these lines.
Seeing the end...
