The Donkey: So I Was the One Carrying It All After All

"?????"

At this very moment.

In the reception room.

Hearing Lu Guangda's words, Yang Zhenning's face showed clear astonishment for the first time:

"Guangda, what do you mean?"

Yang Zhenning's voice was so raised that he was practically losing his composure.

After all, it would have been one thing if this were the first time he'd heard the word "donkey," but this was already the second time someone had mentioned it to him.

Could it be that, during all the years he'd been away from his homeland, donkeys had mutated and started taking part in scientific research?

Yang Zhenning bit down hard on the soft flesh inside his lip, using the pain to force his thoughts back on track:

"Guangda, what exactly do you mean by 'donkey'? How does it have anything to do with gravitons? To be honest, Old Huang mentioned something similar on the way to Jinmen."

Lu Guangda had also recovered from his thigh-slapping excitement. He scratched his chin twice and clicked his tongue:

"Zhenning, don't rush. You'll understand once I've finished explaining."

"First, let's get back to the original topic and talk about the device you designed."

"If I'm not mistaken, one of the principles behind the primordial gravitational-wave detector you designed should be the Michelson-Morley experiment, right?"

Yang Zhenning nodded readily.

Primordial gravitational waves or ordinary gravitational waves, either way, since they were waves, the best way to detect them was obviously with an interferometer.

That was because waves could be superimposed.

When two waves overlap, if the amplitude of the resulting wave is greater than that of the component waves, it is called constructive interference.

At a given moment,

if the crest of one wave meets the crest of another at the same point—or a trough meets a trough—in other words, if the oscillations
