Chapter 959: Puzzles from high-energy level collision experiments
If you want to say what is the most eye-catching news this summer, it is undoubtedly the manned mission launched by China.
For mankind, this is undoubtedly an epic milestone in deep space exploration.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will be written into the long history and be remembered by the world.
Of course, the manned mission launched by Xinghai Research Institute has also attracted the envy of many countries.
Especially the space shuttle that can freely enter and exit the atmosphere and outer space can be said to have made all countries drool with envy.
You must know that the significance of such a space shuttle lies not only in the expansion of the aerospace field and outer space. It is also unparalleled for the country's national defense power and military deterrence.
After all, no matter how powerful your satellite and radar monitoring systems are, it is impossible to observe low-Earth orbit in outer space all the time.
A spacecraft that can swoop from outer space and land directly on top of you at any time may carry the mission of human exploration of outer space in a peaceful era, but in a chaotic era, it is the Dakmo that hangs over the heads of all people and countries.
Sword of Si.
Especially Tsarist Russia in the north.
Whether it is China's rapidly developing aerospace technology or this new type of space shuttle, they are all coveted, and they have even made requests to China more than once to obtain space shuttles or related technologies through technology exchange.
But it is obvious that for the current China, Tsarist Russia does not have any advanced technology that it can use.
Even the large engine technology and nuclear submarine technology that once made China drool with envy are just mediocre now.
What's more, for both China and the Xinghai Research Institute, the new space shuttle itself is a prohibited item that cannot be sold to the outside world.
...
Mid to late June.
At Xu Chuan's suggestion, the Xia Shu Space Base held a press conference and selectively disclosed a batch of detection data that no one had previously visited.
For example, the water ice resources discovered at the bottom of the Martian Mariner Grand Canyon and Cande Canyon, the detection data of the Martian surface soil, the igneous rock data of the Olympus Mons volcano, etc.
Although the Xiashu Space Base has not released any specific data, such as how much water ice resources there are, the specific contents of various elements in the soil, etc.
But this press conference still attracted the attention of countries all over the world.
In particular, the water ice resources discovered by the Yinghuo 3 Mars Exploration Rover in the Mariner Grand Canyon and Cande Canyon have attracted the attention of space agencies in many countries.
The existence of water ice resources on Mars has been detected for a long time.
However, past exploration of Mars has shown that water resources on Mars are mainly concentrated at the north and south poles of Mars or may exist underground several kilometers below.
The environment of these resources is relatively harsh, and it is not easy to exploit them.
But the water ice resources at the bottom of Cande Canyon are completely different.
Even though it's at the bottom of a canyon, it sounds like it's hard to resist.
However, the Mariner Grand Canyon is huge and the space inside is sufficient, which is enough for various probes and even space shuttles to land directly.
Even based on some of the barriers brought by the Grand Canyon itself, it is not impossible to build a base directly at the bottom of the canyon.
This means that China can quickly develop the water ice resources at the bottom of the Kande Canyon.
It is not impossible that they can even replicate the construction of the Moon and Yuehuatai outpost scientific research station.
After all, a few years ago, no one thought that China could build a permanent scientific research base on the moon in just two years.
The environment of Mars is more favorable than that of the moon.
Compared with the moon's gravity, which is only one-sixth of the earth's, although the gravity on Mars is equally weak, it is enough to support astronauts walking on it relatively normally.
As for mobility...
With today's development, I am afraid that no country will question China's mobility and infrastructure capabilities.
This is not good news for countries that are still planning manned landings on the moon.
This is especially bad news for the United States and Tsarist Russia.
Needless to say about the United States, aerospace has always been the pride of the American people. Now it is simply unacceptable to see China overtaking them in a corner.
As for Tsarist Russia.
In fact, like the United States, in addition to being disbelieving about China's sudden rise in the aerospace field, they also have unacceptable emotions.
After all, in the past few years, Tsarist Russia had always regarded itself as the second largest country in aerospace.
Aerospace is not only the pride of the United States, but also the pride of Tsarist Russia.
Having inherited most of Hongsu's heritage and technology, their strength in the aerospace field is not weaker than that of the United States.
Whether it is a chemical fuel launch vehicle or a space shuttle, Tsarist Russia has complete technical plans and design drawings in its hands.
Even in the early 21st century, after the United States abandoned the use of space shuttles, it once relied on Tsarist Russia's launch vehicles to send astronauts and supplies to space and the space station.
Although all this comes from the powerful country of the last century, for the people of Tsarist Russia, this itself is their own thing.
Stimulated by manned moon landings and manned missions, especially the desire for space shuttles, the Russian Space Agency quickly held an internal meeting to re-discuss the development direction of aerospace technology and chose to restart the Blizzard left over from the Hongsu period.
Space Shuttle-related technologies, and formulated a series of plans for manned moon landings, manned landings on fire, etc.
And it was not just the United States and Tsarist Russia that were stimulated.
Many countries and regions, including the European Union, Sakura Country, Maple Leaf Country, and Tianzhu, also quickly held press conferences to disclose their country's aerospace plans.
Perhaps it is out of the intention not to fall behind other countries in the development of the space field.
Or maybe it is just like the worries of ordinary netizens, they are worried that the moon and Mars, the two most recent and most critical planets for human civilization to expand into outer space, will all fall into the control of China.
In short, this round of space race seems to have expanded from China and the United States to the whole world overnight.
With a hundred flowers blooming, the aerospace field has quickly ushered in a new era of prosperity.
...
As for Xu Chuan, he didn't think too much about it.
Nor did I expect that a manned mission would cause such a big change in the world's aerospace situation.
But from a space perspective, it is a good thing that countries are rushing to increase investment and expansion in outer space development.
On the one hand, China today has mastered aerospace technology that is at least ten years ahead of other countries in the aerospace field. The emergence of first- and second-generation space shuttles means that they can occupy an absolutely dominant position in future space development.
No matter how much other countries invest in the aerospace field, it will be difficult to catch up with them in this field.
After all, the core technology of the new space shuttle lies in the miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion reactor and aerospace engine.
These two key technologies are not so easy to break.
Not to mention miniaturized fusion reactors, there are large-scale civilian fusion reactors. Countries have invested tens of billions of financial resources, but there has been no breakthrough progress.
The core high-temperature plasma turbulence control model and first wall materials are still blocking all countries like an iron wall.
The traditional space shuttle model is not very suitable for today's rapidly developing space exploration.
Even in terms of economy and cost performance, traditional space shuttles are far from comparable to chemical fuel launch vehicles.
Especially after the rapid development of SpaceX's recyclable rocket technology, although the cost of chemical fuel launch vehicles cannot be compared with that of the new space shuttle, it is much cheaper than previous disposable launch vehicles.
However, the strategic advantages brought by the space shuttle in the field of national defense and security are indeed unmatched by traditional chemical fuel launch vehicles.
Even the old space shuttle has great strategic value.
This is also the reason why the United States, Tsarist Russia, the European Union and other countries are trying to promote the development of space shuttles.
On the other hand, it is also beneficial for China to invest funds to strengthen the development of the aerospace field.
After all, outer space is too vast. To successfully develop outer space, what is needed is not the power of a country, but the power of the entire human civilization.
As long as they occupy a dominant position in this process, it is enough.

Without paying too much attention to the advancement and development of various countries in the aerospace field, Xu Chuan returned to Star City with the data returned from the Mars exploration.
He plans to deal with the affairs of the CRHPC agency first, and then deal with the work related to manned landing and Mars terraforming.
After all, although manned landing on Mars is important, the six astronauts have only set off now, and it will take at least a month to reach Mars' low-Earth orbit.
The analysis of data from collision experiments between sterile neutrinos and massive dark matter particles is still in progress and is even beginning to be completed.
CRHPC institution, headquarters in Bagua Building.
After spending a few days traveling to Jinling to handle work related to the manned mission and aerospace fields, Xu Chuan returned to his chairman's office.
With the joint efforts of top physicists from all over the world, analysis of experimental data at multiple energy levels such as 35Tev, 50Tev, and 75Tev has been completed for the collision experiment between sterile neutrinos and massive dark matter particles.
Sitting on the sofa, Xu Chuan held a paper in his hand and was watching it intently.
Opposite the sofa, after glancing at the experimental report results in his hand, theoretical physicist Professor Frank Wilczek pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke with some emotion.
“It’s incredible!”
"Judging from the results of collision experiments below the 75 Tev energy level, the properties of dark matter particles are almost perfectly in line with the predictions in the void field and dark matter theory you have completed."
"They have shown different energy level explosion phenomena in multiple different energy level regions and collision experiments, especially in the collision energy level detection of 75 Tev, the highest one actually reached an astonishing ultra-high energy of 89.7 Tev
class."
"This is simply unbelievable. It is hard to imagine that there are still massive particles that we cannot detect in such a high energy level region."
Opposite the sofa, Witten's eyes fell on the report experiment in his hand, and he spoke with interest in his eyes.
"If we follow the predictions of the void field and dark matter theory, the high-energy level explosion of large-mass dark matter particles in experiments should be close to 125 Tev."
"Such a high particle energy level has far exceeded the predictions of the standard model. It has a huge role in helping us understand the formation of the universe and dark matter particles."
At this point, Witten paused for a while, his eyes moved from the experimental report in his hand to Xu Chuan, and he frowned and said:
"The most important thing is that although the theory and experimental data are currently on the right track, we still don't understand why such high-energy dark matter particles can exist in the universe."
"Because theoretically, it should only exist in the sea of energy fire in the early days of the universe. As time goes by, high-energy particles should continue to decay and release their own energy, evolving to match the surrounding energy.
That’s right.”
This is the biggest problem in the multi-energy level collision experimental data, and it is also a problem that is almost contrary to the current human observation of the universe.
Although the scientific community still does not know how the universe originated, whether it originated from the Big Bang or some other method.
But what is certain is that today’s observable universe is constantly expanding and its energy level is constantly decreasing.
This means that after the development of more than 10 billion years ago, there should be no such high-energy particles.
This is the biggest mystery in this collision experiment between sterile neutrinos and massive dark matter particles. Without thinking, everyone looked at Xu Chuan, who had returned to CRHPC, expecting him to give an explanation.
After all, he was the one who completed the theory of void field and dark matter. In terms of understanding, I am afraid that no one knows this aspect better than him.
Feeling the gazes directed at them, Xu Chuan gently shook his head and said: "Although I have speculated and predicted that there may be large-mass dark matter particles with an energy level of 125 Tev in the universe, I have no idea why they can survive for a long time.
Even though it has survived for more than 10 billion years, it still cannot give an accurate answer to this day."
"I don't necessarily know much more than you do."
To be honest, the current collision experiment work of the CRHPC institution has exceeded the limits of theoretical physics that he knew in his previous life.
After all, the energy level of the high-luminosity Large Strong Particle Collider LH-LHC at CERN in the previous life was less than 35 Tev.
Almost all of the experimental data in front of us occurred in collision experiments above the 35Tev energy level.
Entering a new and unknown field, what he can know is not much more than other physicists who have also seen this batch of experimental data.
How the massive and high-energy dark matter particles were preserved from the original universe to today is also a mystery to him.
