Chapter 1392: Negative Matter (Part 4)

"We want to conduct larger-scale experiments, draw conclusions from the experiments, and then carry out stable detection and subsequent research on negative matter."

Chen Ming confirmed: "Are you sure it’s safe?"

"Yes, take a look at our experiment logs."

The team leader pressed several buttons on the adjacent console and brought out a log consisting of hundreds of densely written pages.

The content was filled with results from various fusion experiments.

It was apparent that none of the experiments had any issues.

Fortunately, when Chen Ming expanded the Space Station, he created a large surplus of space, and this group, due to being one of the earliest applicants, was specially allocated more space by Chen Ming.

As a result, the experimentation site for this group was very ample, and they utilized almost every part of it.

Moreover, through these experiment logs...

This group also had some more detailed findings that were not documented in the brief research reports.

For example, they determined that negative matter is most likely a medium of the Black Hole Dimension, similar to the kind of phase space medium that blocks radiation energy dissipation.

Humans are currently unable to explore the Black Hole Dimension directly but can indirectly investigate it through negative matter, conducting research on black holes.

Furthermore, after matter is fused with negative matter, aside from changes in physical properties...

This matter also exhibits a unique stability in spatial dimensions.

A stability that is harder to be affected by jump fluctuations, as if stabilized in place by some force.

Their research also indicates that negative matter has no direct effect on living organisms.

It merely fuses with inanimate objects and, so far, seems to offer no disadvantages, only benefits.

Such valuable negative matter made Chen Ming consider the possibility of establishing an experimental site on the Planet.

However, the group’s discovery of the link between negative matter and the Black Hole Dimension was somewhat too dangerous.

It was unlikely that Chen Ming would directly place them in the No. 1 Research Center area.

However, Chen Ming immediately thought of an alternative solution.

He could assign the group to the satellite of Gaia Star.

The satellite of Gaia Star is also a habitable planet, and Chen Ming had yet to determine its use.

Considering there was a need, he might as well create a new experimental site specifically for the group to conduct tests.

Chen Ming was not short of resources, so creating a separate test site was not an issue.

Thus, Chen Ming agreed.

However, he imposed very strict conditions.

The entire process of securing and transporting the experimental matter was to be handled by the Dusk hub, and the experiments needed to be conducted under surveillance. The Plane Nightmare matter was prohibited from being taken outside, and any situation that could lead to the negative matter prematurely exceeding expectations was restricted by Chen Ming.

Moreover, Chen Ming stated that he would maintain close monitoring of the group, both for the sake of the experiment’s safety and their own safety.

The team leader had no objections.

So, Chen Ming turned and left the Space Station to begin preparing the environment for researching negative matter.

Soon after, the team leader gathered about twenty team members and said: "Director Chen agreed, we can proceed to the next phase of research."

After a brief cheer, the team leader instructed: "Ensure all safety measures are in place, do not let this matter leak out for no reason."

The team members agreed without hesitation.

Although the negative matter produced from the body of the Plane Nightmare in their research showed no danger and was very stable...

No one knew if there might be other impacts later on, and being cautious was the most prudent course of action.

"Pack up, tomorrow we head to the ground."

The time quickly moved to the next day.

The team leader and team members had already arrived on the surface of Gaia Star’s satellite.

Here, Chen Ming had specially prepared a secure and comprehensive experimental site for them, a double-layer dome.

This was a building Chen Ming frequently used previously, offering excellent internal and external isolation.

And this double layer was modified by Chen Ming to create a vacuum between the two dome layers.

After all, currently, a vacuum is seen as a very effective way to isolate negative matter; otherwise, the Plane Nightmare in the black hole would have already spread negative matter throughout the universe.

At this moment, the team leader was standing on a hill near the dome, observing the environment of the dome.

At the same time, he watched as an extraordinarily heavy spaceship slowly descended to the ground.

Under significant mechanical protection, it transported a fragment of the Plane Nightmare’s corpse, stored inside a vacuum isolation chamber, into the laboratory within the dome.

"What are you looking at?"

A team member’s voice suddenly rang out from behind the team leader.

Without turning his head, the team leader replied: "I’m checking for any areas where safety measures might not be sufficient. If negative matter leaks out, even if it doesn’t cause any incidents, we’d still be in trouble."

"If I find any issues, I’ll apply for additional reinforcement from above."

The team member, somewhat nonchalantly, said: "Team leader, you’re overly worried. You weren’t like this on the Space Station."

"With such a large corpse there, the negative matter it emits over time is unknown. If something was going to happen, it would have already; it wouldn’t wait until we got to the Planet."

The team leader’s expression momentarily wavered with a bit of confusion, but he quickly regained composure.

"Indeed, but safety measures must be implemented, and it’s best to do them thoroughly."

The team member shrugged: "As long as you’re happy."

Setting up with more security shouldn’t pose any downsides.
