Currently, in front of Xiao Yu, there are two technological obstacles that urgently need to be broken through. One is element decay technology, and the other is super-light navigation technology.
These two technologies are complementary to each other. Element decay technology is the cornerstone of super-light navigation technology. Xiao Yu has done relevant experiments, taking the Hebei as an example. In theory, the 40 million tons of nuclear weapons carried on the Hebei
The fusion fuel is only enough to support the Hebei's super-light voyage of less than a hundred light years.
But this obstacle will be solved after breakthroughs in element decay technology. Due to volume limitations, the Hebei requires most of the space within the hull to load nuclear fusion fuel, which is deuterium, but the same volume of deuterium is replaced by heavy elements.
After that, the Hebei will be able to carry 1.3 billion tons of the most abundant heavy element on earth, silicon.
This means that if calculated purely based on the sailing distance, the endurance of the Hebei will reach 10,000 light-years. Of course, the actual situation will be much smaller than this number. After all, the Hebei still has many other places that require energy.
For example, calculations, defense, weapons and steering, etc. After comprehensive calculations, after the breakthrough in element decay technology, the endurance of the Hebei can reach at least a thousand light years.
By then, Xiao Yu will have fully entered the technical level measured by light years.
In an orbit two billion kilometers away from the central star, Xiao Yu and Lucca scientists are conducting intense research work together.
The large particle collider has been arranged in an orbit around the central star. Because of the large size of the star, Xiao Yu had to dismantle hundreds of country-class spacecraft, re-manufacture some parts, and add in
, just reluctantly built the large particle collider. There is no way, in this empty star system, Xiao Yu cannot get any supplement of matter.
The central star is losing mass at a rate of nearly one billion tons per second. This mass is thrown out from the surface by the central star in the form of interstellar dust and is scattered in the vast space. But Xiao Yu has no way to do anything about this mass.
Collection. Xiao Yu has made relevant calculations. If he builds a thousand giant collection nets powered by stars and covers an area of one square kilometer, and continuously wanders in the universe to collect mass, he can collect about ten tons per hour.
substance.
This was obviously a loss-making business. Xiao Yu simply gave up the idea and instead obtained supplies by dismantling the spaceship. Anyway, it only needs to last for two hundred years. After two hundred years, he will either die or escape from this prison. This plan has no
Necessity for execution.
During the more than 100 years of hiding from other civilizations, the population of Lucca society has increased to more than 200,000. Lucca society is roughly the same as human society, but the life span is much longer. Xiao Yu is not willing to let those masters
Lucca scientists who were extremely rich in various knowledge aged prematurely and died. Therefore, Xiao Yu also conducted some research on biotechnology. At present, the average life span of Lucca people has been increased to about 500 years old.
After more than a hundred years, the number of Luca scientists has reached about 2,000. Luca 3 has served as the top scientific officer without objection, and Luca 2 still holds the position of top social officer.
.
In order to properly arrange these research forces and try their best to play their role, Xiao Yu dismantled the original provincial transport ship, used part of the materials for other purposes, and built a brand new municipal-level spacecraft with the remaining materials.
Xiao Yu named this city-level spaceship the "Eternal Kingdom". The Eternal Kingdom is the kingdom of the true gods in the legend of the Lucca civilization. In this spaceship, Xiao Yu has deployed an extremely complete and advanced technology.
Advanced research equipment at the disposal of Lucca scientists.
The Eternal Kingdom stays not far from the Paradise. Lucca scientists can easily take the small spacecraft assigned to them and travel between the two spacecrafts. In the Eternal Kingdom, they carry out scientific research
, in Paradise, they can live and entertain comfortably.
At this moment, it has been twenty years since Xiao Yu was imprisoned in this prison. In the Eternal Kingdom, Luca scientists are conducting intense research work.
The theoretical foundation of elemental decay technology has been established. What is needed now is a large number of experiments to find the most efficient implementation method.
In a laboratory, several Lucca scientists wearing white coats were looking closely at a transparent glass box. In this glass box, there was a very common thing, an iron ball with a mass of about one kilogram.
The block is floating there in the air.
Next to this transparent glass box, there are dense lines. These lines extend out and are connected to unknown places and complicated instruments.
Through these lines, some strange rays were emitted and acted on the iron block.
Just in the microscopic world, a violent reaction invisible to the naked eye is taking place.
That is a microscopic structure smaller than molecules and atoms. Within the scope of the strong interaction force, the quarks that make up hadrons suddenly dispersed. They were scattered in the empty space inside the atom, and different
There is also a quark exchange phenomenon between atoms. That is, quarks inside one atom sometimes travel to other atoms.
They permeate the entire atomic space, and their distribution shows the characteristics of a "cloud", like an electron cloud.
From the perspective of Lucca scientists, this process means that the volume of this piece of iron suddenly increases. At the same time, it begins to emit faint infrared rays.
"This should be a small-scale collision of quarks during the dispersion process, and the energy level transition caused the generation of photons." said a Lucca scientist.
After the scientist finished speaking, an assistant immediately recorded the words and sent them to Xiao Yu through the communication system for Xiao Yu to analyze.
Scenarios like this happened in dozens of laboratories at the same time, and data was submitted to Xiao Yu at every moment for Xiao Yu to analyze.
After the assistant submitted the submission, the scientist ordered: "Reverse the two instruments to enhance the strong interaction and weaken the electromagnetic force."
"Okay." Another assistant agreed and pressed several buttons on the instrument.
In the microscopic world, the quarks that permeate the inner space of atoms and exhibit the characteristics of "electron clouds" suddenly seem to go crazy, and each of them collides with the quark closest to itself.
In the violent collision, quarks recombine into hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. During this process, some quarks disappear out of thin air. They become photons or neutrinos, which are released from this piece of iron.
Escaped from inside.
From the perspective of Lucca scientists, it was the piece of material in the glass box that suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light that lasted for several minutes. After a few minutes, the light gradually dimmed and the piece of iron reappeared.
The figure appeared. But his size was reduced by half.
Because the glass box has the function of isolating excessively strong light, the Lucca scientists observing outside were not affected by the strong light.
"Neuttrinos and photon bursts were detected. These photons carry high energy. The analysis results show that during this reaction, the kilogram of iron lost 48% of its mass, and its mass is still
Five hundred and twenty grams. At the same time, calculations based on the mass-energy formula show that the energy carried by the photons and neutrinos it emits, converted into mass, is exactly 480 grams, which is in line with the law of conservation of mass and energy."
"Comprehensive calculation of excitation energy and neutrino loss energy, the comprehensive energy utilization rate of element decay is 40%. The remaining 8% of energy is necessary loss energy."
During the decay process of elements, energy is mainly emitted in the form of photons. Along with the birth of photons, there are also some neutrinos. These neutrinos are like thieves who steal energy. They steal energy.
He took it as his own, and then escaped in an instant by virtue of its extremely difficult to react with other substances.
After comprehensive calculations of the energy stolen by neutrinos, the energy lost during the conversion process, and the energy required to activate instruments that convert electromagnetic force and strong interaction force, the conclusion is that during the decay process of elements,
Up to 40% of the mass converted into energy can be used by Xiao Yu.
"This is the experiment with the highest energy utilization among tens of thousands of experiments in recent decades. At the same time, through this method, safety and other aspects can also be effectively guaranteed. The entire process of this experiment, as well as our
Conclusion, submit it to the master."
The scientist who was in charge of this experiment couldn't hide the joy on his face, and ordered his assistant in a somewhat urgent voice.
"Congratulations, Mr. Wells. With this achievement, I think the master will definitely assign you the distinguished title of 'Luca No. 4'." An assistant next to him said with envy on his face.
The name Xiao Yu mentioned casually at the beginning has now become the highest honorary title in Lucca society. You must know that in the entire Lucca society, with a population of more than 200,000, only Lucca No. 2 has received such a title.
, Luca No. 3, two people. Of these two people, one is the highest scientific consul and the other is the highest social consul. It is conceivable that after No. 2 and No. 3, the title of Luca No. 4 represents what a lofty honor it is.
.
However, Xiao Yu is not ready to give away the title of Lucca No. 4 easily. The title of Lucca No. 4 is like a noble crown, inspiring thousands of Lucca scientists to strive for it.
However, after receiving the latest test report on elemental decay from the Eternal Kingdom, Xiao Yu had a premonition that he had to give away this hat. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better
