The audience was packed at this exchange meeting.
When Ruan Shiqing came on stage with equipment and materials, there was a buzz from the audience and one could faintly hear words like "How come he is so young?" and "I've never seen him before."
Countless eyes, some questioning and some curious, were cast in his direction, but Ruan Shiqing acted as if he wasn't paying attention. He walked up to the podium calmly and steadily.
Behind him was a huge virtual screen.
Generally, invited scholars will display the materials they explain through a virtual screen so that scholars in the audience can communicate and discuss.
However, Ruan Shiqing had no intention of turning on the virtual screen. He even ordered people to remove the main podium and fiddled with a strange-looking device on the stage himself.
His unconventional behavior aroused even louder doubts from the audience.
Someone shouted, "If you want to tell it, don't waste everyone's time."
"Yes, this is a forum, a place to display and exchange research results, not a place for you to play tricks."
This academic exchange meeting is both an exchange meeting and an exhibition.
Freelance mechanics who come from a background of their own can make a name for themselves through the exchange meeting. Originally, the exchange meeting lasted two days, and each person was allocated one hour, so mechanics with some achievements could go on stage. But this unprecedented grand exchange meeting was reserved for Ruan Shiqing alone, and a full five hours were reserved!
This means that he alone took up the quota for at least 10 people.
So when they saw that the person who walked onto the stage was a young stranger, they felt dissatisfied. How could such a young man, who had barely grown all his hair, not attract jealousy by using tricks to curry favor with the emperor
The doubts continued, and the words became more and more unpleasant.
Ruan Shiqing on the stage was still assembling the equipment calmly.
Instead, Dais said unhappily, "Don't feel embarrassed for saying such ugly things so early." After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at Harrison, who had grass on his butt.
Harrison had wanted to please Dai Si before, so he shamelessly followed them. Later, when he found out that Ruan Shiqing was the author he despised, he felt embarrassed and wanted to run away. But Dai Si suddenly changed his temper and warmly pulled him to sit with him.
Seeing Dai Si glancing at him while he was talking, he felt as if he was being roasted on a fire.
While the audience was arguing and making a lot of noise, Ruan Shiqing had already assembled the equipment.
He stood up straight, turned on the microphone on his chest, and without any nonsense, he got straight to the point: "I think everyone came to the exchange meeting just to know whether my paper is true or not."
His eyes slowly swept across the venue, and he smiled and said, "So I brought a set of small experimental equipment with me. Everyone will know whether it is true or not at a glance, and I don't have to waste my breath to convince you."
After just two sentences, the noise in the audience gradually died down, and countless pairs of eyes looked at him eagerly.
Some scholars present thought of raising questions during the Q&A session to expose his flaws; others thought of finding loopholes in his speech to make him admit his mistakes. But no one expected that this young man would be so bold as to review the experiment on the spot!
If the paper and experiments are false, how can he be so confident
For a moment, everyone had different expressions. No matter what their mood was, they were all waiting for him to start.
Ruan Shiqing took out a metal test tube.
This metal test tube integrated into the Zerg's shell is the same as the storage device used to capture antimatter, except that it is smaller. He brought five in total.
The device in front of him was a simple engine simulator.
This type of engine simulator is often used in energy experiments to test energy utilization.
"The test tube contains five milligrams of antimatter. This device is a new engine simulator that I modified to accommodate annihilation reactions." After a brief introduction, he pushed the test tube into the groove of the simulator.
After a slight beep, everyone saw the data on the simulator's virtual display screen begin to update rapidly.
There were some scholars who specialized in energy in the room. When they saw the constantly changing data on the simulator, they stood up in shock, stretched their necks and stared at the machine.
"It's possible." Someone murmured to himself, "The energy conversion rate is probably this high!"
The energy they currently have, the conversion rate of 30% is already quite high. But the data of the equipment on the stage has exceeded 30%, and while they were stunned, the data on the simulator continued to rise.
Ten percent, fifteen percent, fifty percent!
The data from the simulator was constantly being refreshed, and the audience was once again excited.
There were sounds of surprise one after another.
Dai Si also watched intently. In order to record a video for the teacher, he sat closer this time and saw everything clearly. Unlike others, he understood Ruan Shiqing's ability best. Seeing this, he didn't bother to record the video and directly called the teacher's number...
Garland, who had originally just used the exchange meeting to get closer to Ruan Shiqing, couldn't help but lean forward and gradually narrowed his eyes.
Although he mainly studies biology, he also knows a lot about energy.
He had also read the antimatter paper, and had long known that Ruan Shiqing was the author of the paper. But when he just read the paper, he didn't take it seriously. After all, the distance between theory and application is the insurmountable time. If you want to apply the results of the laboratory to practice, there is still a long way to go.
But what he didn't expect was that Ruan Shiqing was actually able to put it into practical use!
The simulator he used was a modified ordinary simulator, not a specially made device. This means that such a modification can also be used in other areas.
He knew the meaning of this very clearly.
For a moment, the look he gave Ruan Shiqing became even more profound.
At this time, the experimental demonstration on the stage had ended, and the energy conversion rate of the simulator stopped at 9.999 percent.
There was a long silence in the conference hall. After a while, someone seemed to react and exclaimed, "If this simulator is specially made, the accuracy of the data is questionable."
"Yes, the equipment has been modified. Who knows if it has been tampered with?"
The doubts from the audience gradually grew louder. Several accomplished scholars sitting in the front row looked at each other for a moment but said nothing.
Although they thought that the young man was not going to cheat on the spot, they did want to see how he could prove that there was no problem with the simulator.
"The simulator has only been coated with a special coating to allow it to withstand the annihilation reaction between matter and antimatter. It will not affect the accuracy of its test. If you have any questions, you can test it again with other energy sources."
The host was waiting for him to say this. Hearing this, he quickly waved his hand to the audience, and then some people came up to the stage holding various commonly used energy sources.
They are all packed in metal test tubes.
Ruan Shiqing made way, raised his chin slightly, and signaled them to do it themselves.
Test tubes are placed in the grooves.
Testing ordinary energy is much faster because the conversion rate of these energies is not high, so the time spent on the five energy test tubes is only slightly longer than the time spent on the antimatter energy test.
Everyone was speechless after seeing the precise data provided by the simulator.
After the shock comes the frenzy.
They realized that antimatter does exist, and the conversion rate is close to 100% is also true. Then the other things the other party said... are naturally true!
So in the following question-and-answer session, almost everyone raised their hands to ask questions.
Ruan Shiqing did not deliberately make things difficult because of the previous doubts. He answered every question in detail.
Be kind and polite.
So much so that scholars who had previously questioned him or even made rude remarks to him apologized to him with shame on their faces after receiving his answers.
Although scientific research involves constant questioning, only they themselves know how much prejudice and arrogance are contained in their questioning.
Their apology was sincere, and Ruan Shiqing accepted it with a normal expression.
This exchange meeting lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, three hours longer than expected.
Three breaks were arranged during the session, but almost no one was willing to leave. Everyone frowned and compared the key points they had written down with Ruan Shiqing's paper one by one, wishing they could break them into pieces, chew them up, and swallow them down.
Even a scoundrel like Harrison didn't care about being embarrassed and shamelessly asked Ruan Shiqing questions.
—Everyone realized that a huge change was about to begin, starting with Ruan Shiqing.
To keep up with this change, or even become the leader of it, they must be one step faster than others.
The reason is simple, because Ruan Shiqing has given up his patent rights and chose to disclose all core technologies.
This means that everyone can derive new theories and technologies based on his theory. There is huge fame and fortune hidden in it, and even scholars who are dedicated to research cannot resist the huge temptation.
After the exchange meeting, Ruan Shiqing was surrounded by people from all sides and was offered so many olive branches.
He declined one by one, repeatedly stating that he had no intention of accepting the offer and was not considering any cooperation for the time being.
Dai Si and Garland were squeezed to the periphery by the enthusiastic crowd. He frowned, clenched his fists, and said, "The teacher has told me that I must invite Master Ruan to the laboratory to sit down! We must not let anyone take him away!"
After saying that, he rushed into the crowd, relying on his tall stature to squeeze in.
Ruan Shiqing, who was surrounded, looked at the time and was thinking of finding a reason to let the crowd disperse. When he turned around, he saw a tall strange man rushing straight towards him.
The other party easily pushed away the people who gathered around him, clamped his wrist with his hand, brought him into his arms, and protected him as he left.
Ruan Shiqing subconsciously tried to break free, but heard a familiar deep voice: "It's me."
He was slightly stunned, then let the other party take him out.
On the contrary, those scholars who failed to snatch the person were very happy and asked who he was.
The Crown Prince, who had waited in vain for the man to return to the hotel and had no choice but to put on a disguise capsule to go out and look for him, turned around with a sinister look in his eyes and said, "I am a relative of Master Ruan, and I am here to take him home. We have our own company and research institute, so there is no need for you to worry about Master Ruan's future."
He had just heard everything outside: this bunch of shameless old guys were actually trying to steal his girl!
