Like the other academicians, Lü Yongchang was also racking his brains to figure out the reasons behind these abnormal data.

"The data sample size is too small..."

Beside him, Fang Xu muttered a complaint: "With only three sets of data, and measured under these conditions, it's hard to rule out the influence of observational errors."

Lü Yongchang nodded silently.

The possibility of the observation instruments malfunctioning is not high, but he is not entirely sure about the experimental error.

"Zero, how long will it take to receive the next set of observation data?"

After thinking for a moment, Lü Yongchang asked Ling helplessly.

A countdown timer was displayed on the holographic projection directly in front of you.

Looking at the seemingly endless time, Lü Yongchang shook his head helplessly.

"Too slow..."

Although they felt a prickling sensation in their hearts, both Lü Yongchang and the other academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences clearly understood that only with a large amount of observational data could the reasons behind this phenomenon be analyzed.

And now...

"Transfer all the data to your own personal terminal."

Lu Yongchang waved his hand slightly annoyed and said in a low voice, "The data sample is too small. It's not good for us to just wait here."

"Go back and rest."

Lü Yongchang's words clearly did not align with the wishes of these academicians.

The moment the words were spoken, dissenting voices rang out in the laboratory.

"Professor, what are you saying?"

"Yes, professor, the abnormal data is right in front of us, who has the mind to rest!"

"No, no, Professor, let me think about it some more. I feel like I have a flash of inspiration!"

"..."

Seeing this, Lü Yongchang shook his head with a wry smile.

Indeed, if these abnormal data are presented and they can't figure them out, let alone rest, these academicians probably won't even be able to eat.

"That's not what I said."

"Academician Fang just told me that scientific research requires a balance between work and rest."

Lu Yongchang shrugged, pointed at Fang Xu who looked bewildered, and put the blame directly on him: "Of course I know you want to continue studying this abnormal data, but... this thing probably won't yield any results anytime soon."

"Let's wait a bit longer. We'll continue our research once the second batch of data is transmitted and we have more observation samples."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the academicians turned their attention to Fang Xu.

Seeing the furious looks on his colleagues' faces, Fang Xu felt a chill run down his spine: "I..."

"Everyone, go home!" Lü Yongchang waved his hands repeatedly. "Take all the data back with you and take a good look at it during your rest time."

"Tell me about any discoveries you make immediately."

Upon hearing this, the academicians, who were initially reluctant, all broke into satisfied smiles.

They quickly transferred the data from the lab to their personal terminals, then hurried toward the lab door—lest they waste time thinking on the way.

Of course, before leaving the lab, they didn't forget to cast disapproving glances at Fang Xu.

A few minutes later.

The once crowded laboratory became deserted again.

"I...you..."

Fang Xu's chest heaved rapidly. He pointed at Lü Yongchang, but for a moment he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Alright, alright, Brother Xu, it's about time you went back to rest." Lu Yongchang showed no shame whatsoever, waved his hand casually, and then turned his gaze back to the data transmitted back by the black hole detector. "Don't disturb my train of thought."

Fang Xu: "..."

"Lü Yongchang, you really are a dog!"

Lu Yongchang raised an eyebrow and drawled, "Huh? What did you say?"

"...No, it's nothing." Sensing the strong sense of threat, Fang Xu's lips twitched, and he turned to leave without hesitation. "I won't disturb your train of thought."

As he listened to the fading footsteps and the slow closing of the laboratory door, the smile on Lü Yongchang's face gradually faded.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

He frowned slightly and tapped his knuckles lightly on the table in front of him.

He didn't know why, but looking at the data in front of him always gave him a strange feeling.

seem……

The truth hidden behind these data will be of great help to him and even to the Academy of Sciences in its subsequent research.

After pondering for a long time, he sighed softly, reached out to untangle the electromagnetic adsorption device, and got up to leave the laboratory.

...

Although a dark cloud appeared during the research process, it could not obscure the originally clear sky.

While the research team led by Lü Yongchang successfully solved the final problem of the second-generation gravity generator, the manufacturing task was also carried out simultaneously.

The real terror of Zero lies not in its role in advancing the technology tree, but in its efficiency in translating research results into practical applications.

With the manufacturing experience of the first-generation gravity generator, the manufacturing time of the second-generation gravity generator was shortened by several times!

In just a month or so, the engineering ship, located a light-year away, remotely "updated" most of the hardware facilities of the Gravitational under Zero's control.

According to the plan, the second gravitational field creation experiment will be carried out in three days.

These three days of waiting time are for the final maintenance work to be carried out on the upgraded Gravitational spacecraft.

The academicians aboard the Earth were all eagerly awaiting the completion of this task.

One minute, one hour, one day...

Time passed slowly, and the maintenance work was about to be completed, and the second gravitational field experiment was about to officially begin.

Accompanied by a piercing alarm, something unexpected happened!

...

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

A sharp, hoarse buzzing sound echoed from the laboratory's loudspeakers.

"Professor, the black hole detector has lost signal!"

"The data transmission mission has been interrupted."

"Attempting to reconnect..."

"Connection failed!"

"Entanglement effects are disappearing in quantum long-distance communication devices..."
