Chapter 88 Chapter 88
After a discussion with Mr. Rong, Ruan Shiqing finally decided to publish the paper publicly.
Research results themselves are neither good nor bad, it only depends on who uses them.
The Metis forum is open to all members of the Mechanic Association, whether they are new apprentices or advanced mechanical masters, they can speak freely and communicate with each other in the forum. In order to ensure freer and more equal communication, the forum can choose to be anonymous.
Ruan Shiqing eventually published this unsigned paper, along with all the experimental data, under the pseudonym "Blue Star".
Not only that, he also disclosed the coordinates of the wormhole where the antimatter source was discovered and opened up the patent rights.
This means that everyone can profit from this technology.
It's not that Ruan Shiqing regards money as dirt, but he thinks that all of this is the result of his standing on the shoulders of his predecessors. Since he cannot tell everyone that this technology is not the result of his efforts alone, he simply does not want all the benefits derived from this research.
As soon as the paper was published, it caused huge controversy in the forum.
Theory about antimatter was proposed a long time ago, but because the existence of antimatter has not been confirmed, the theory of antimatter has always been regarded as groundless conjecture. To put it more seriously, many scholars denounce it as nonsense.
This is also the reason why the antimatter theory has gradually become obscured and no one is interested in it since it was proposed.
In recent years, many scholars have devoted themselves to finding new energy sources, but have not achieved much success. However, in the paper and experimental data published by Ruan Shiqing, it is mentioned that the energy conversion rate of antimatter is close to 100%.
This is simply unbelievable!
All the scholars who read this paper could not help but sneer.
But when they continued reading, they were shocked by the rigorous experimental data.
This data... looks very real.
For a time, not only scholars in the Metis Forum sparked a debate over this, but even the news media smelled something and brought the debate in the academic forum to everyone's attention with sensational headlines.
There is endless debate and doubt about antimatter.
As the person involved, Ruan Shiqing paid close attention to the situation for several days, but he did not have much emotional fluctuation.
Every new research is bound to face numerous doubts and debates when it is published. This is the inevitable path of research. Doubts and debates can often spark wisdom. With his inspiration, more and more researchers will surely join in.
Just as he stood on the shoulders of his predecessors, these later scholars will also develop more new technologies based on his theories.
This is a good thing.
Ruan Shiqing closed the forum in a good mood, walked out of the workshop and went to the backyard, where he saw Snowball lying lazily on a rattan chair.
The cubs just followed 09 to the underground market to buy things, only Snowball was lazy and didn't go. One cub occupied the wide rattan chair and basked in the sun leisurely.
Ruan Shiqing was looking at him now, with doubts in his heart.
He walked up to the lazy cub and picked him up, tapping the cub's nose: "Why are you lazing around again?"
Rong Heng narrowed his eyes, touched his fingertips with the tip of his nose, and hummed softly, with an intimate expression.
He didn't want to play with those little brats. He stayed at home on purpose to wait for Ruan Shiqing.
Seeing that Ruan Shiqing was finally not busy with work and that he only had one cub at home, His Royal Highness was very busy and couldn't help but shamelessly nuzzled his chest.
The kid is acting coquettishly to me.
The doubt in Ruan Shiqing's heart began to waver again. He rubbed the cub's head, held him and sat down on the recliner, took out his smart computer to continue browsing the replies and questions in the forum, and gave clear answers one by one without hiding anything.
Rong Heng nestled on his chest, resting his head on his front paws and squinting at him.
The more I watch, the happier I feel.
It was an incomparable feeling that bubbled up like bubbles from the bottom of the water and filled his chest.
Ruan Shiqing took the time to glance at him, thought for a while, and then called Mr. Rong again.
He did not avoid Rong Heng. Even when the communication could not be connected, he frowned and nodded the cub's forehead, muttering: "Your brother is too busy. I can never get in touch with him."
After saying that, he lowered his head to edit the text message and left a message to the other party.
Rong Heng innocently widened his eyes, seemingly not understanding what he was saying.
But a small head rubbed against Ruan Shiqing's chest, and then rubbed against the edge of the intelligent computer, trying to peek.
Putting away the computer without leaving a trace, Ruan Shiqing stood up, put the cub on the recliner, and said, "Dad will continue to work."
After saying that, he walked towards the workshop.
Rong Heng leaned over to look at him, and after making sure that the man would not turn back halfway, he quickly opened the text message that Ruan Shiqing had sent him.
Seeing the other person frowning, he thought he had encountered a problem again. However, after clicking on it, he found that the other person was just thanking him for solving his problem and asking when he would return to planet B3024.
It was just ordinary content, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince read the last sentence "When will you return to Planet B3024?", he couldn't help but wag his tail in joy.
This is caring about him.
Moreover, he used the word "回", which showed that the other party no longer regarded him as an outsider.
Rong Heng narrowed his eyes happily and typed a reply slowly.
Ruan Shiqing did not return to the workshop immediately at this time. He leaned leisurely at the entrance of the stairs on the first floor, silently calculating the time.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes.
The indicator light on the smart computer flashes, reminding you that there is a text message.
He clicked on it and saw that it was indeed a reply from Mr. Rong.
After squinting at the text message for a while, he walked out of the stairs and went to the backyard.
Hearing the footsteps, Rong Heng calmly put away his computer. When he looked up at him, his brown eyes were moist and endearing.
The sound produced is also soft.
It is hard to equate such a lovable cub with a serious soldier.
Ruan Shiqing looked at him with a smile, then stretched out his finger to touch his chin.
The cub squinted its eyes in pleasure, raised its chin cooperatively, and made a low growl in its throat.
Ruan Shiqing looked at him intently, pinched his ears which felt very nice in his hand, and smiled meaningfully.
After playing with the cub for a while, he actually went to the workshop.
Looking at his seemingly particularly brisk back, Rong Heng looked puzzled.
What are you so happy about?
The great success of the antimatter engine gave Ruan Shiqing more confidence.
Mr. Rong's previous proposal to establish a military base on the neighboring Wuming Star has also been officially put on the agenda.
B3024 is just an asteroid. Apart from the inner and outer cities, it is occupied by a large amount of metal garbage and a large area of Lost Swamp. The area available for use is not large. So Rong Heng set his sights on the nameless star next door.
That planet is very close to Star B3024 and is covered with ice and snow all year round. There is no life on it, so setting up a military base on it is just right to conceal it from the public.
The only problem is that the climate is too harsh and if a military base is to be set up, it will have to be transformed.
But these are no longer a problem now. Not only do they have the arsenal on B3024, they also have the support of the entire Balem planet.
As the chief technical engineer, Ruan Shiqing was discussing with Dares and others how the military base needed to be transformed.
To modify the climate, artificial satellites are essential, but Ruan Shiqing is studying a simpler way to control the weather - ion rings.
The ion ring control system evolved from artificial satellites. This method is more intelligent and convenient, and can perfectly simulate a climate environment suitable for human survival. However, the ion ring requires huge energy support, so Ruan Shiqing proposed to build an antimatter reactor on the nameless star as the energy core of the entire planet.
Mori led the team to prepare for the construction of the reactor.
Ruan Shiqing looked at Mo Li's leaving figure, half-closed his eyes, and said casually: "Marin has been with you for a long time, and his style of behavior is becoming more and more like a soldier. I almost forgot his domineering appearance in the past." He said as if reminiscing: "When I worked with him, we even fought against each other."
Dares's eyebrows jumped. He wondered if he suddenly mentioned this because he had discovered something abnormal about Mori.
At first, Mori replaced Marin for convenience. But now that the entire B3024 planet is under their control, there is no need to hide it anymore. It's just that Mori replaced Marin's identity before, and now that he has taken off the disguise, it will cause some trouble and inconvenience, and it may also implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he just goes with the flow and continues to pretend.
It's just that Mori has let down his guard now, and his acting is becoming less and less serious.
No wonder Master Ruan discovered the flaw.
Dares carefully observed Ruan Shiqing's expression and asked tentatively: "Master Ruan... did you find something?"
Ruan Shiqing looked at him mysteriously and smiled without saying a word.
“…”
It seems that it was discovered.
Dares thought about it and felt that since Master Ruan was already one of his own, there was no need to keep it a secret from him. Moreover, he had discovered something unusual now, and lying would probably affect their deep relationship.
So he sold Morley without any psychological burden, but he concealed the part that Rong Heng was involved in.
Ruan Shiqing looked surprised: "Disguise capsule?"
Although he suspected Marin because of Mr. Rong's incident, he never thought that he could really cheat.
Seeing that he was interested, Dares asked someone to bring a few pills to him and said, "This is it." He carefully observed Ruan Shiqing's expression and said, "We didn't tell you at that time just to be safe. Master Ruan, you won't mind, right?"
Ruan Shiqing played with the disguise capsule with a curious look on his face, and said with a smile: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. There is nothing to worry about."
"Thank you for that."
He put away the disguise capsule and said goodbye to Dares with an expression that showed he couldn't wait to study it.
After returning, he put away the capsule and went to see Snowball first.
Snowball is fighting with the little dragon again.
The little dragon liked to play around when he had nothing to do, but he couldn't beat Snowball. Snowball, who was angry at him, was holding him down with one of his paws, and he was struggling like a little turtle, unable to get up.
When he saw his father coming back, he immediately shouted for help: "Dad, save me!"
His big golden eyes were filled with tears, and he pretended to be serious.
Rong Heng sneered in his heart, thinking that such a grown-up boy was still complaining.
But he still loosened his paw and looked at Ruan Shiqing obediently.
Ruan Shiqing patted the little dragon cub's head and went to look at Snowball again: "Why are they fighting again?"
Rong Heng typed slowly: [We competed to see who was stronger. He Li lost.]
When the little dragon cub heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted unconvincedly: "This time it doesn't count!"
Rong Heng ignored him and leaned forward to rub Ruan Shiqing's arm.
Whenever he did this in the past, Ruan Shiqing would definitely hug him.
As expected, Ruan Shiqing picked him up. He looked at the well-behaved and cute cub in his arms and couldn't help but pull his ears.
Mori used a disguise capsule.
So what about you?
