Another mechanical arm slowly extended.
Under Zero's control, it carefully approached the micro black hole.
The Modified Graviton Capture Device began operating.
Although these gravitons displayed opposite properties under certain effects of the black hole, they were still gravitons by nature.
Thus, only minor modifications to the existing graviton containment and capture devices were needed to capture them easily.
"Capture successful."
The somewhat stiff electronic synthesized voice rang out in the Laboratory, and Lü Yongchang's smile deepened.
"Transfer the anti-gravitons and conduct further examinations and observations."
He issued the command in a low voice.
With the help of their previous experience researching gravitons, the study of anti-gravitons proceeded remarkably smoothly.
Just as Lü Yongchang had predicted, the movement of anti-gravitons could produce an anti-gravitational field opposite to a gravitational field.
In other words, it could make flat spacetime bulge outward.
Upon learning this, Lü Yongchang, thrilled, restarted the long-stalled development of the Warp Drive.
Of course, amid all the excitement, further research into the micro black hole also brought new questions to the Academy of Sciences.
The Academy of Sciences conducted an annihilation experiment on these "anti-gravitons."
Simply put, they placed normal gravitons together with these gravitons displaying opposite properties to see whether the two would undergo an annihilation reaction.
Unfortunately.
The annihilation experiment failed.
As Lü Yongchang had suspected, the two types of gravitons exhibiting different properties did not annihilate each other upon contact.
This showed that the so-called "anti-gravitons" were merely gravitons displaying opposite properties through some unknown mechanism.
Yet Lü Yongchang showed little joy at having his hypothesis confirmed.
The reason was the discovery of another puzzling phenomenon.
The latest observation methods revealed that these "anti-gravitons," which displayed opposite properties, could not retain those properties for long.
After a certain period, they gradually reverted to normal gravitons.
