Chapter 1521: The Stretched Time
The abnormal effects of the two doors completely changed Lin Lin’s understanding. The two doors in the same world did not form a tunnel that could cross the dimension, but on the contrary, it created a tunnel within the same dimension.
In order to prove the physical characteristics of this tunnel, Lin Lin tried to control the drone that carried a cage with a hamster and piloted the drone from Door 1 to Door 2, then from Door 2 to Door 1 again.
However, after several tries of the experiment, it did not prove the effect of this tunnel. It only proved that this neutrino tunnel did not have a negative impact on living organisms. The little hamster on the drone still bounced around, lively and energetic.
He took the hamster out from the cage and held it in his palm.
Perhaps it was frightened by the two black eyes, the hamster shrank into a ball and trembled in Jiang Chen’s hand.
Lin Lin stood there unwillingly and repeatedly performed various experiments on the two doors. She turned off the power, then turned it back on again.
However, the reality proved that this phenomenon was not accidental. No matter how many times she repeated the experiment, as long as the neutrino frequency between the two doors was identical, the ripples that moved to the middle opened outward, and diffused into a light cone made out of neutrino formed a tunnel between the two doors.
“For the time being, I’m not sure what effect this neutrino tunnel will have… The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the tunnel is harmless.” Lin Lin gave up in defeat and let out a sigh, then she shook her head, “I cannot verify the maximum distance between the two doors. I can only ask you to experiment in that world.”
With consideration to the curvature of the Earth, it was difficult to experiment with the influence of distance on the neutrino tunnel on Earth. It was only possible to find a sufficiently long and straight distance in the vast universe, as well as eliminate the intermediate medium’s interference with the experiment.
Lin Lin wanted to know the limit of this tunnel, as well as the formula between tunnel length, neutrino density, and input energy.
“Okay, I will let the Special Projects Research Institute handle this experiment,” Jiang Chen said casually while he played with the hamster in his hand, “By the way, do you think it has anything to do with time?”
The lab turned silent.
It was not only Lin Lin, but Lin Yi and Lin Lin’s other sisters all looked at him at the same time.
When he felt the gazes focused on him, he was slightly taken back and he subconsciously touched his face.
“Uh, is there something on my face?”
Lin Lin and Lin Yi both shook their heads and continued to stare at him.
“I just realized,” Lin Lin murmured, her eyes gradually bloomed with a hint of splendor, “You are simply a genius.”
“Lin Yi agrees with my sister’s point of view.” Lin Yi, who was beside her, also nodded quickly, like a chicken that pecked at rice, “You are absolutely a genius.”
“Put the stopwatch on the drone and start the experiment again.” Lin Lin looked at the sister controlling the drone and immediately ordered, “Record the time it takes the drone to pass through the tunnel, and test whether the time parameters decayed or increased.”
“Roger that.”
A stopwatch was hung on the chassis of the drone, and it once again appeared at the entrance to Door 1.
Lin Lin and her sister looked at each other, communicated through their connected neural network, and started the operation at the same time.
The two stopwatches were pressed at the same time, and simultaneously, the drone went into Door 1 and flew into Door 2 inside the tunnel. Jiang Chen silently counted to twenty, watched Lin Lin’s sister catch the drone at the other end, and then pressed the stopwatch at the same time as Lin Lin.
When the two stopwatches were put together, Jiang Chen and Lin Lin were both stunned and looked at each other.
The stopwatch on the drone showed 24 seconds, while the stopwatch in Lin Lin’s hand showed 23 seconds. Obviously, the two stopwatches were pressed at the same time, but the time experienced by the drone was one second longer than the outside world.
The two exchanged eye contact again, and both saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Where did this extra second come from?
…
No matter where that second came from, at least it was not because of errors.
Later, Lin Lin repeated the experiment many times again and collected dozens of data points through the speed of the drone and the length of the tunnel. The final result showed that this phenomenon was not a coincidence. The matter moving with the direction of neutrino in the tunnel had indeed “traveled” through more time.
Although they did not invent the teleporting portal in sci-fi movies, this discovery was equally shocking.
In the neutrino tunnel, the material moving in the direction of the neutrino experienced more time than the outside world. And this also meant that the material moving in the neutrino tunnel moved faster than the outside world.
How should this phenomenon be interpreted?
It was actually easy to understand.
For the same distance, the material in the neutrino tunnel only experienced one second of outside time, but the material inside had already moved for 1.1 seconds. Although the material’s motion properties did not change, from the outside’s perspective, the distance the object passed per unit time increased, so the speed of the object relative to the outside world naturally became faster.
Celestial Trade could build two or more “portals” with this technology between the Earth and Mars, and then use the time-growth nature of the neutrino channel. The journey that would have taken a week to complete could perhaps be completed in three days (outside time), or even one day.
It was not yet possible to determine the specific formulas for movement speed and time growth, but according to the results of two repeated experiments, the relationship between time and speed in the neutrino tunnel was exactly the opposite of the conclusion in the special theory of relativity.
That was, the faster the speed in the neutrino tunnel, the greater the time-growth effect obtained. After the speed reached a threshold, the growth effect would also reach a threshold. Based on Lin Lin’s speculation, the threshold value could be the speed of neutrino or the speed of light.
“If this was before the war, my research results would definitely be recorded in history…” Lin Lin walked to Jiang Chen while she muttered to him, she felt like she was born in the wrong times.
However, Jiang Chen only glared at her and ignored her boastfulness.
It was not the first time she showed off.
With everything else not considered, without the Gaia civilization’s research data on neutrinos, could she think of this?
At this moment, Lin Lin asked abruptly.
“By the way, what are you going to do?”
“What am going to do?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Are you planning to take all of us from that world, or?” Lin Lin didn’t finish the second half of the sentence and just blinked at Jiang Chen.
Obviously, she was unsure about this question either.
After he thought for a moment, he responded.
“It depends on you.”
“It depends on… us?”
“If you are willing to go with me, then I will take you there,” Jiang Chen said with straightforwardness.
“What if I don’t want to go back?”
“Then I will visit often.”
“Hey! What do you mean, just this reaction? You’re not even going to persuade me?!” Lin Lin looked at Jiang Chen, dissatisfied, and punched him on the back in anger.
“Haha, there are endless puddings in that world. Whether you want mango flavor or strawberry flavor, there will definitely be enough. Do I need to persuade you?” Jiang Chen laughed and walked through the gate of the research institute to the backyard of the mansion.
