Displacement: 134 Millimeters

Year after year.

Within a few years, with the support of powerful industrial manufacturing capabilities, the new Space Laboratory was completed. From the outside, the new laboratory mainly consists of three parts: a modified Positron Cannon integrated unit, a modified Electron Cannon integrated unit, and the two are connected to the Warp Engine prototype through a magnetic field channel, floating in the dark space like a Star Delta.

The new experiment was ready, and with the bright indicator lights flashing, Yu Nanfeng gave the order to start the experiment again.

His commands were transformed into electronic signals and instantly transmitted to the laboratory system. Thus, the Warp experiment, which had been suspended for several years, was restarted. The modified Positron Cannon and a modified Electron Cannon were guided by a magnetic field and then converged into the combustion chamber of the Warp Engine prototype for a mixing and annihilation reaction.

The powerful positrons traversed the hundreds-of-meters-long guide channel and rushed into the Warp Engine combustion chamber. Under the influence of the specially designed complex magnetic field, they circled around the chamber like an aura. At the same time, an almost equal amount of electron beam was also injected into the other end of the entrance. The two met and annihilated each other instantly.

The mass of the Anti-Electron is completely converted into enormous energy at the moment of annihilation. This energy is released into the core area of Warp Engine through an ingenious structure, driving countless amazing reactions there.

To avoid experimental accidents, scientists and engineers conducted countless simulations before the experiment. Their efforts paid off, and the first operation to obtain energy through the fusion of Anti-Electron proceeded without incident. The Warp Engine successfully obtained this wave of energy.

However, the result was hard for the scientists to accept. The platinum plate remained as immovable as an ancient rock. Seeing this, the scientists even had the urge to push it with their hands. The small platinum plate, which could be moved with a simple breath, could not be moved even a fraction of an inch despite the large Warp Engine they had built.

At that moment, the platinum sheet appeared to humans as if it had transformed into a massive mountain, firmly fixed in place, and no matter how hard humans tried, they could not move it even an inch.

"Grand Unified Theory, does the Grand Unified Theory really require the Grand Unified Theory to be realized before we can take this step? We've only been experimenting with a tiny platinum plate." Looking at the experimental results, Yu Nanfeng rubbed his hair and muttered to himself.

After a moment, his gaze shifted from slight confusion to sharpness. "No, we have clearly seen the barrier of Level 4 Civilization. We have clearly made many achievements on the path of exploring the Great Unification. Theoretically, the annihilation of Anti-Electron has reached the required energy level. Even if it cannot drive a massive object, it should be able to drive a small platinum sheet. Yes, it must be that the quantity is not large enough. If the quantity is not large enough, then continue to increase the input!"

After a moment of silence, Yu Nanfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Connect those three Positron Beam Generator and Electron Beam Generator in parallel as well!"

"Huh? Those positron beam generators are all spares. If they're all connected in parallel and running together, it will exceed the rated input power of the Warp Engine prototype." One of the experimental operators was taken aback.

"How much more?"

20%

"Then let's run it in overload mode, that's what we'll do!"

Yu Nanfeng expressed his determination in an unquestionable manner, while also praying in his heart that this time he would succeed, at least not destroy the Warp Engine prototype.

Controllable reactions and uncontrollable reactions are different after all. Although Yu Nanfeng had confidence in the Engineering Department under his leadership, he could never guarantee that everything would be done perfectly. So, after issuing the order, he was always on edge.

For tasks like connecting experimental facilities, he only needs to issue a single command; there's no need for engineers to do anything themselves. With the current level of automation, these small tasks can be handled by Strong Artificial Intelligence; the engineers simply need to wait patiently for a while.

"Academician Yu, the equipment has been connected in parallel and we can begin the second experiment!" Not long after, the engineer's voice woke Yu Nanfeng was still checking various parameters in the Command Center.

"Okay, let's begin immediately!" Yu Nanfeng nodded, a hint of madness lurking beneath his calm face.

They looked at the experimental equipment that was already shining with technological light with eyes that were filled with madness: Increase the effort, increase the effort! If it doesn't work, I will build an even bigger Warp prototype and connect an even bigger positron beam generator in parallel. Anti-Electron are also Antimatter, there is no reason why it can't work. It must just be that the quantity is not enough!

Two beams of light, as sharp as thunder and lightning, passed through the guiding magnetic field amidst great anticipation, merging with another electron beam just as they had the first time.

At that moment, the pointers on the instruments in the laboratory Command Center suddenly spiked, and at the same time, every data monitor emitted overload warning beeps and rapid voice broadcasts.

Seeing this scene, even Yu Nanfeng, known for his wild engineering style, couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitching restlessly.

This situation could easily lead to experimental accidents; a Big Bang might occur on the Warp Engine prototype at any moment. However, he ultimately did not issue the order to pull the brakes and stop the experiment.

The few minutes of overload felt to Yu Nanfeng as long as half a century.

"Academician Yu, the second experiment is complete. The equipment overload rate is 31.4%. Input has stopped, the engine has stopped working, and the detector is measuring the experimental results."

Upon hearing this, Yu Nanfeng breathed a long sigh of relief. This Warp Engine prototype was incredibly powerful; it hadn't been destroyed by such high-intensity energy.

Anything made by human machinery is bound to be of high quality.

Feeling a surge of pride, Yu Nanfeng turned his attention back to the experiment. It was at that moment that a voice, seemingly both incredulous and unable to conceal its surprise, rang in his ears.

"This, 1.34 millimeters? Phew, has the data been verified? Is it just an error?"

"The detection equipment has taken many measurements, the data has been verified, and errors have been eliminated!"

"It's done?"

"It's done!"

"We did it!"

"Warp Engine, we succeeded!"

It's a success? Really, great power can work miracles? Yu Nanfeng was a little stunned. Although he longed to hear the news of success, all this happiness seemed to have come a bit suddenly.

"Quickly, quickly, quickly reconstruct the experimental process and see what happened to the platinum sheet during this process!" Yu Nanfeng suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted excitedly, then joined in the debriefing of the experiment.

He would review the experiment, and then conduct the next experiment based on the data. He would continue to conduct several more experiments. Only if each experiment could successfully cause the platinum plate to shift could he dare to claim that the experiment was truly successful.

Science is repeatable.
