37. Dispute(1/2)
Too amazing.”
A few minutes later, the experiment ended, and with the stop of the metal rails that had already begun to heat up, around Merlin, the twisted gravity quickly recovered, Merlin also felt the down-to-earth feeling of being down-to-earth again.
He stood up from the chair and walked to Dr. Hall. He looked at the silver-white steel eggshell in front of him, and he said to Dr. Hall:
"You never told me that you are studying such amazing things."
"I didn't even tell anyone more than I didn't tell you."
Dr. Hall took off his glasses, and he stroked the control table in front of him with an emotional look, and he said to Merlin:
"When I was a student, my best friend and I designed the conceptual map of ‘Gaia’. We tried to manipulate this mythical power, but we didn’t succeed until we graduated from a Ph.D. Later, he gave up, but I didn’t give up. Finally, 22 years later, I realized my original design, and I proved that my design was correct."
“Merlin.”
Dr. Hall turned his head and looked at the young man behind him, saying:
"Today, humans control gravity!"
"It's all because of your persistence, Dr."
Merlin looked at the instrument and said:
"Even if I know nothing about engineering, I can see the excellent value of this thing. Maybe you should report it to S.H.E.L.D. to really launch a project. I believe Fury will definitely support you."
"Well, that's what I plan."
A serious light flashed in Dr. Hall's eyes, and he said to Merlin:
"This kind of technology can lead to the progress of civilization, but falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives will also cause disasters. I do not intend to disclose its principles to the entire society and leave it to S.H.E.L.D. is correct. Moreover, "Gaia" is just a prototype now, and its technology is still very immature. I need some excellent and trustworthy scientists to study with me."
"I know one."
Merlin said to Hall:
"Shield Del has a collaborator at Columbia University named Bill Foster. He is a quantum physicist. I believe he can help you. He is also 'his own person'."
"Oh, Dr. Foster, I know him."
Dr. Hall put on his glasses again and said to Merlin:
"We had several collaborations in 1987, and his research on quantum states can really help me."
"I can apply to Fury for you."
Merlin smiled and said:
"This is my duty."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Dr. Hall sighed deeply, as if he had accomplished some mission, his face relaxed.
Merlin curiously circled "Gaia" for a few times, and he said to Dr. Hall:
"I just felt that there were some things in this machine, some tiny things that emit strange energy after being powered on. That should be the source of gravity that 'Gaia's manipulation. Doctor, can you tell me what those matter are?"
"It's the graviton."
Dr. Hall didn't hesitate too much. Merlin in front of him was a level 5 agent of SHIELD, or his friend, a trustworthy person.
He pressed a button on the control table, and with the sound of mechanical opening and closing, the silver-white metal eggshell opened in front of Merlin, revealing the complex and cumbersome internal design of "Gaia".
Merlin noticed that in the center of the hundreds of reflective coils, there was a small ball made of glass, which was fixed to the center of the instrument by four metal tubes. In the ball, there was a ball of black material the size of a baby fist constantly twisting and changing.
It's like a pure black non-Newtonian fluid.
Just looking at the appearance, that thing is similar to oil.
“Graceonium?”
Merlin looked at the twisted liquid and said softly:
"I guess, this thing is definitely not on the periodic table."
“It really doesn’t.”
Dr. Hall explained to Merlin:
"It is an extremely rare rare metal element in nature. It was discovered by German scientists during World War II. Its atomic number is 123 and its atomic mass is 308. In fact, many scientists doubt whether this substance really exists because its physical matter is very strange."
“How to say it?”
Merlin asked curiously, and Dr. Hall said softly:
"Because the gravity itself can destroy the gravity field inside it, where it is, gravity will produce extremely chaotic disorders."
"However, in my research, I found that by applying currents in different frequency bands, the gravity field inside it can be stabilized or broken, and the gravity around it can be transferred out in a strange way in the form of an external energy field and applied to other objects."
"This is also the design idea of 'Gaia'. By controlling the current in special frequency bands, this machine can easily change the gravity inside or outside of an object weighing several tons. However, the impact of gravity on gravity is disordered. It is difficult to design a program to release its chaotic gravity field steadily. It is this work that took me almost 20 years."
"You said it's rare?"
Merlin asked again, Hall nodded:
"The surface of nature almost does not exist. This small group of graviton was discovered in an abandoned mine in the Philippines five years ago. The mine was too deep because of the existence of graviton. The locals thought that the graviton mine was haunted. Later, when I was on vacation in the Philippines, I accidentally heard of this rumor, and after going deep into the mine, I found this rare graviton sample."
"I guess that gravitons should be widely present in the depths of the earth, and I mean, the mantle layer, or even the lower layer."
Speaking of this, Dr. Hall hesitated a little, and he said to Merlin:
"Have you ever heard of a rumor that the earth is actually hollow?"
"Oh, Earth hollow theory."
Merlin nodded:
"I know, and I think this theory is correct. There should be a hollow world in the mantle layer, which maintains the Permian landscape billions of years ago, and perhaps is full of atomic radiation, and there are life that is completely different from ours."
"Well, you know a lot, Merlin, it seems that I really underestimate you."
Dr. Hall laughed and said to Merlin:
"In my opinion, if the hollow world below the earth really exists, then it can maintain a stable structure in countless geological changes, which is definitely due to the influence of the gravity in the mantle layer."
"Countless tons of gravity-dense are superimposed on each other, forming a powerful support force deep in the earth. It not only maintains the gravity of the earth, so that it will not fall apart, but also supports the hollow earth to continue to exist firmly."
"This explanation is unexpectedly reasonable."
Merlin nodded, feeling that maybe he should share Dr. Hall's guess with the Imperial Organization, and Dr. Serizawa will definitely find a way to find the hollows on the earth.
"Okay, I won't waste your time."
Dr. Hall looked at his watch and said to Merlin:
"I have a lot of things to prepare before reporting the information. You can do your business first. I will contact you after everything is ready."
"Wow, you're so cruel, Hall."
Merlin joked:
"I just risked my life to help you, but you drove me away so ruthlessly. You should know that if you ask for help, you should find a better restaurant, and then have some high-end red wine. You also need to prepare a beautiful gift."
"Do we want to watch a movie hand in hand?"
Dr. Hall complained, which made both of them laugh.
After laughing, the doctor said to Merlin:
"Leave your watch, Merlin, you're right, you've helped me, I shouldn't have said anything about it. I'll return it to you in a few days."
"What are you going to do with it?"
Merlin took off his watch. At the beginning, this thing was the locator used by Fury to monitor Merlin. But now 6 years later, Merlin no longer needs to be monitored, but he still left the watch.
In fact, Merlin is also a nostalgic person.
“I will put a super-miniature ‘Gaia’ in your watch.”
Dr. Hall blinked at Merlin, and he stretched out his finger and gestured:
"Don't think too much, just a tiny bit of graviton, the size of millet grains, will give you a weak force to manipulate gravity. Let me think about it, maybe you can use it to move a car."
"A car?"
Merlin said skeptical:
“Is it that powerful?”
"Don't underestimate it."
Hall pointed to the "Gaia" prototype behind him and said to Merlin:
"Just like a fist-sized ball of gravity onion, do you know how much gravity will be when it is applied to the current of tens of volts?"
“How old?”
Merlin asked.
Dr. Hall pursed his lips and thought for a while, he said to Merlin:
"Have you seen that movie from Titanic a few years ago?"
"Um."
