Thousands of years ago, Archimedes, who needed to detect the composition of the crown without damaging it, gained inspiration while immersing himself in a bathtub. According to legend, this great ancient Greek philosopher, encyclopedic scientist, mathematician, and physicist
When the scientist, mechanics, and founder of static mechanics and hydrostatics got inspiration, he jumped up from his bathtub, waved his hands and shouted "I found it! I found it! (Eureka! Eureka!)" Therefore, this process of sudden enlightenment and inspiration is also called the "Eureka moment".
The Eureka moment is something that almost every scientific worker dreams of - a problem that has troubled them for a long time is solved in an instant. This is simply the best feedback for the life invested by every scientific researcher. This desire for feedback
Even just a little imagination can make people feel itchy all over - itches to the bones, even to the depths of the soul.
It doesn’t matter what answer the eureka moment can bring. What’s important is to experience the soul-trembling feeling that the eureka moment brings.
Mu Zhiran, whose soul finally regained its composure, looked at the data in front of him, his expression as calm as the surface of an ancient well - motionless.
"The situation is not good?" Lu Chen, who had been in the laboratory for a long time, carefully began to comfort his Ph.D. in physics, "It is a good thing to have inspiration, but it is normal to have some setbacks occasionally - after all, we have explosive samples on hand.
Limited..."
"A small amount of ultraviolet rays were detected in Jeanna's blood sample." Mu Zhiran said with an extremely calm face, "To be precise, the wavelength of this ultraviolet ray is 121.6 nm."
Lu Chen's expression was still cautious, "This means...?"
"It means I need more accurate spectral analysis instruments and more samples." Mu Zhiran seemed to be wearing a mask called "Calm Mu Zhiran". But Lu Chen could clearly feel that his own Mu Zhiran
The doctor seems a little excited.
"I can't guarantee the samples, but the analyzer should be able to find them." Lu Chen agreed for Watanabe first, and then reminded, "If you want to apply for more samples, I'm afraid you need some sufficient reasons."
"I can't confirm now whether only hydrogen is in the excited state, but the intensity of the ultraviolet wave peaks at other lengths in the spectrum is very low." Mu Zhiran said slowly, "I'm not 100% sure yet... But now I
We can say this with a relatively high degree of confidence - in Jeanne's blood sample, a considerable amount of hydrogen elements are in the n=2 excited state, and they are falling to the ground state."
"Considering that Ben has been out of Jeanna's body for more than a month, I have every reason to believe that the number of hydrogen elements in the excited state was much higher before." Mu Zhiran's expression began to change.
There were some changes, but Lu Chen couldn't tell whether they were excitement or fear. She continued, "I just asked Xiaoli to help me estimate..."
The corners of Mu Zhiran's mouth began to tremble, and she said to Lu Chen as if asking for help, "For an adult weighing fifty kilograms, if all the hydrogen elements in the body fall from the excited state of n=2 to the ground state, the amount of energy released will be
Approximately equal to the total energy of four hundred tons of TNT."
Lu Chen also started to tremble. He took a few deep breaths and asked, "But... it can't happen naturally that all elements are in an excited state, right?"
"Under natural circumstances, it is impossible for all the electrons outside the lithium element to rotate downward." Mu Zhiran replied, "But to be honest, I can't tell what is a natural situation and what is an unnatural situation..."<
/p>
Lu Chen heard a hint of humor and joking in this "truth". His nervousness was relieved a lot. "Maybe... abnormality is the real normal state." He looked at Mu Zhiran and asked,
"Is this excited state related to the rotation direction of the external electron of lithium element that we have confirmed?"
"If there is some kind of resonance field between lithium atoms and hydrogen atoms... it may be related." Mu Zhiran has obviously thought about this issue, but she is not an expert in this field, so she can only "talk in general terms"
": "In the application of quantum computers, there is a practical application method of using quantum entanglement to affect the energy level transition of electrons. The quantum entanglement state can affect the probability of electrons absorbing photons - considering the extremely high abnormal entanglement state of lithium atoms, this probability is probably
It will also be very high."
"So, the last question." Lu Chen looked at Mu Zhiran and asked, "Is there any way to prevent this abnormal energy level drop?"
"It is very difficult to maintain electrons in an excited state. Not to mention intervention methods, simply providing enough energy is an impossible task." Mu Zhiran's face was full of helplessness and even despair, "A fifty-kilogram adult
Humans can release 400 tons of TNT equivalent of ultraviolet light and heat. We don’t know why they are in the excited state at the same time, nor why they suddenly start to fall... But if you want to keep them in the excited state, you need to be very precise.
Instruments and intervention methods, as well as a large amount of energy consumption... we may not be able to achieve this goal."
She looked at Lu Shen and said helplessly, "The only good news is that although the process of electron transition may be affected by the observer effect, this state of 'absorbing photons and transitioning to an excited state' should be theoretically safe." "In other words...observation and research on it will not lead to a frequent increase in explosions." Mu Zhiran looked at Lu Shen, his expression neither sad nor happy, "We should be able to go out."
------------------
Lu Chen didn't hear the word "happy" from his girlfriend. In fact, he couldn't be happy himself.
Good brother Estela has severe diarrhea.
As a common clinical symptom, diarrhea can have many causes. From food poisoning to bad mood, from cholera to chlamydial infection... Diarrhea can occur in various intensities and under various conditions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But when a minor develops severe diarrhea after staying under a radiation intensity of up to 8.3mSv/h for several hours... then this may be very scary.
A large amount of radiation may have killed the small intestinal villi in Estella's small intestine. The root cause of this diarrhea should be radiation enteritis. This disease generally only occurs in patients with terminal tumors who have been treated with radiotherapy for a long time -
—And their prognoses...are terrible.
The good news is that Estella most likely does not have terminal tumors. The levels of major tumor markers in his body are at normal levels, and the whole-body ultrasound test ruled out obvious mass changes. No free cancer cells were found in the blood samples. But the bad news is that living in the radiation zone of the Mediterranean for a long time has caused lasting and profound damage to his body. The radiation and unknown tattoo dyes together caused Estela to suffer from extensive dermatitis.
The scars are piled up layer by layer, as if a layer of scales has grown under the skin.
Moreover, Estella's eyesight is not very good. After a remote examination by a specialist, they determined that Estella may have mild cataracts - which is probably one of the direct effects of radiation.
Under these conditions, Estella's prognosis is really not optimistic. Watanabe submitted an application to the coalition government to transfer the patient. He wanted to at least let Estella enter a general hospital and receive systemic treatment.
Examination and treatment.
However, this application has not been approved for a long time. By the afternoon, the coalition government still did not clearly accept or reject Watanabe's application - instead, thirteen academicians of the committee arrived directly at the base in an aircraft.
In the base, these eight men and five women, a total of 13 academicians, announced bad news to Lu Chen and others with extremely evil expressions.
"At 4:17 this morning, the No. 7 manned landing module that was flying in the Earth's fire transfer orbit exploded - an astronaut on board experienced abnormal fever, which lasted for four days." In this committee.
Yuan, the most prestigious agricultural academician, frowned and said, "The No. 4 landing module and No. 8 landing module visually confirmed the explosion, and the forward base in Mars orbit also confirmed the explosion - based on the estimated flight speed of the debris, the explosion equivalent was about
Five hundred tons of TNT." Academician Yuan took a deep breath and asked, "We have seen Dr. Mu's findings and corresponding inferences. Apart from this inference, do you have any other possible hypotheses?"
The scene was quiet. Although Mu Zhiran's inferences were still "guesses" or even "hypotheses" in many places, her theory was logically complete and almost perfectly corresponded to the current situation. Not to mention other possible hypotheses, even Tang Qinglong felt that
"You can't go wrong in this direction."
"If you have new ideas, you are welcome to put them forward at any time." Academician Yuan nodded, "The identity of the astronaut on the No. 7 Manned Landing Module is being analyzed by the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau... But our focus is not on this."
He looked at Tang Qinglong and said, "The committee has decided to make your discoveries and experimental progress public on a small scale. Now is not the time to work behind closed doors. We must gather all the forces we can to tackle the problem - this kind of explosion has a great impact on society. We
Something must be done."
"In the final analysis, it is still an infectious disease. It's just that the way of infection is a bit strange." Yang Weimin said, "Since it is an infectious disease, there are always ways to deal with it - any infectious disease must be preventable, controllable and curable. This
It’s an objective law.”
Lu Chen just poured cold water on his mentor, "Brother Yang... although infectious diseases can be prevented and cured, if all mankind becomes carriers of the infection, there will be no way to intervene."
Lu Chen, who had dismantled his tutor's desk, put forward his own suggestions to the thirteen academicians, "Rather than tackling difficult problems, it is more urgent and important to confirm the proportion of 'carriers' in the population. We need to conduct a large-scale screening to judge.
What proportion of the population has the external electrons of hydrogen atoms in an excited state?"
