As soon as Xiao Yu issued this order, the nuclear fusion reactors installed on the four large particle colliders in Huantianyuan, one thousand kilometers away from each other, with a total of more than 200,000, were activated at full power at the same time.
The instrument fired two protons in two directions respectively. As soon as the two protons were launched, they were immediately accelerated by the first-stage accelerator. Then they entered the second-stage accelerator from the first-stage accelerator and were accelerated again.
And then there’s the third level…
In this way, if the acceleration continues step by step, the speed of these two protons will be infinitely close to the speed of light.
According to calculations based on the theory of relativity, even if it is a proton, the energy required to accelerate it to the speed of light is infinite. This has been confirmed by countless experimental data, and Xiao Yu cannot break through this limit.
However, how much energy will more than 200,000 nuclear fusion reactors produce? If all this energy is used to accelerate two protons, how high will its energy level be raised?
The speed of these two protons is almost infinitely close to the speed of light.
This is why the larger the particle collider, the higher its scientific value. Because the larger the particle collider, the higher the acceleration it can provide for particles. In this way, at the moment when two particles collide, their
The higher the energy level, the more helpful it is for scientific research.
The Huantianyuan four-particle collider built by Xiao Yu can provide acceleration enough to make the energy level of two colliding particles reach the level of one femtosecond after the creation of the Big Bang. Under this energy level
, the two particles will be shattered by the collision, and all the secrets hidden inside will be revealed.
As more than 200,000 nuclear fusion reactors operate at full power to provide energy for the collider, the speed of the two protons becomes faster and faster, and finally, they collide with each other at a certain point inside the collider.
At the collision point of the two particles, the temperature has exceeded hundreds of billions of degrees. At this moment, its energy level has far exceeded that of the collision of two neutron stars.
Although the energy level at the collision point is so huge, its total energy is not even as large as the kinetic energy carried by a high-speed machine gun bullet. The reason for this seemingly contradictory phenomenon is that they are too small.
Just like the pressure of a woman's high-heeled shoes on the ground is greater than the pressure of an elephant on the ground, it does not mean that the mass of a woman is greater than that of an elephant.
Xiao Yu observed that at this moment, a miniature black hole appeared out of thin air, but in just an instant, the black hole evaporated its mass and disappeared. There was no way, it was too small, and it was too small to swallow matter.
, he had already ended his life.
At the moment when the black hole disappeared, Xiao Yu's ultra-precision observation instruments observed many unspeakable phenomena. Xiao Yu didn't even have time to calculate and analyze what they meant, but could only ignore all the data.
Record it for later analysis.
The first particle collision test lasted for thirty minutes. Xiao Yu harvested approximately several terabytes of observation data.
These data are only raw data. In the future, Xiao Yu will use these raw data as a basis to conduct research on the microscopic world.
"I hope that the completion of Huantianyuan's four large-scale particle colliders will bring me breakthroughs in the microscopic world, allow me to break through the technical barriers to long-distance communication, verify the Higgs mechanism, or allow me to unify the four basic forces
Get up..." Xiao Yu muttered silently, turned around and plunged into the ocean of data, and began to perform calculations on these experimental data.
Xiao Yu knew that even if he had obtained a clear physical formula now, he would not be able to put it into application immediately. Just like Einstein's mass-energy formula, it took decades after its discovery for the atomic bomb to be developed, and dozens more developments.
Nuclear power plants did not appear until 2000. This is the lag between physical theory and practical application.
But the importance of physical theory is also here. Without the guidance of basic physical theory, if you want to develop technology, you don’t know where to develop it.
Moreover, with the development of basic physics, in terms of theory, a civilization will inevitably experience the phenomenon of stagnant development of science and technology, that is, only the development of technology, but the theoretical aspect will stagnate.
Because with the development of science, physical theory will become more and more complex, until it reaches the point where all the scientists of the entire civilization are unable to push it forward despite their lifetime efforts. Only the accumulation of generations of scientific researchers can make it possible.
Push it.
This accumulation may take thousands of years, it may take tens of thousands of years, or it may even take forever.
Xiao Yu has a unique advantage in this aspect, because as long as he has enough computing power, Xiao Yu's scientific and technological development capabilities are enough to compare with one civilization or even several civilizations combined. Therefore, Xiao Yu does not feel bad
The thousands of years I wasted on traveling. On a cosmic scale, thousands of years pass by in the blink of an eye, and it’s really not worth feeling sorry for.
Moreover, Xiao Yu has another advantage. Xiao Yu once estimated that if human society develops to a population of 100 billion and possesses all of its current technology, if it wants to build the Huantianyuan four-particle collider, at least
It will take hundreds of years. Because there are so many aspects for a civilization to develop, how can anyone have Xiao Yu's ability to act?
It took Xiao Yu three months to analyze the data collected from this experiment. Three months later, Xiao Yu turned on the particle collider again and conducted a collision experiment. Then he continued to analyze the results of this experiment.
The data is compared with the data of the previous test to prevent the test impact caused by errors.
During these two experiments, Xiao Yu observed a magical particle. It has no spin, no charge, is very unstable, and will decay immediately after being produced. It is now certain that this particle is a brand-new particle
boson, but Xiao Yu is not sure whether it is the Higgs boson. Further conclusions need to be verified experimentally.
Within ten years after the completion of the Huantianyuan Four Large Particle Collider, Xiao Yu operated this machine and conducted hundreds of collision tests in total, and obtained a large amount of test data. After comprehensive analysis,
Xiao Yu finally came to the conclusion: This new boson is the legendary "God particle", the Higgs boson.
At this moment, Xiao Yu felt a sense of relief. Because the status of the Higgs boson was so important.
Scientists on Earth once established a set of models called the "Standard Model". This model predicted a total of 61 types of particles that exist in the microscopic world. The first 60 types of particles were discovered by humans one by one in experiments.
It was discovered, but the Higgs boson has never been confirmed.
If the experiment proves that the Higgs boson does not exist, then the standard model will be overturned, and human microphysics will almost have to be overthrown. If it is verified that the Higgs boson really exists, then human physical theory will be even more complicated.
Solid, and it can also explain one of the most important questions, where does quality come from?
The Higgs mechanism explains that the universe is filled with something called the Higgs field. Particles gain energy by interacting with the Higgs field, and energy means mass. Therefore, every particle in our universe
Only a thing has mass. The Higgs boson is an inevitable by-product of the process of particles gaining energy predicted by the Standard Model.
Verifying the existence of the Higgs boson basically confirms the existence of the Higgs mechanism and the Higgs field. Xiao Yu will continue to conduct research in this area in the future, explore the entire process of the Higgs mechanism, and explore...
...how to get energy from the void.
This is research on the one hand, and on the other hand, Xiao Yu also discovered a strange phenomenon in hundreds of collision experiments.
That is, the mass of matter, or energy, has increased for no reason. For example, suppose that the total mass of the two particles participating in the collision is 10,000. However, after the experiment, Xiao Yu observed that the collision
The total mass or total energy of the wreckage actually reached 10,010.
Hundreds of tests have eliminated the possibility of errors. Xiao Yu improved the test accuracy time and time again and eliminated the possibility of the involvement of foreign substances.
So where did this mass that appeared out of thin air come from? Xiao Yu was puzzled. For this reason, Xiao Yu launched a protracted research, but could never find an explanation.
With no other choice, Xiao Yu had to temporarily shelve research in this area, and only collected all the experimental data for future research.
After verifying the existence of the Higgs boson, Xiao Yu started research on super-distance communication. Perhaps because people are in high spirits during happy events, Xiao Yu quickly made a breakthrough. At the Huantianyuan Four Large Particle Collider
Twenty years after its completion, the first ultra-distance communication instrument was built by Xiao Yu.
Of these two instruments, one was installed by Xiao Yu at Tianyuan A, and the other was installed at the particle collider. Xiao Yu will send a signal to the other instrument through this instrument on Tianyuan A,
Then another instrument will send this information back through ordinary signal transmission means.
The two instruments are 21 million kilometers apart. According to the ordinary signal transmission speed, Xiao Yu will receive a response after one hundred and forty seconds. However, according to the outbound journey, it is a long-distance communication method, and the return journey is ordinary transmission.
In terms of means, Xiao Yu will receive a response in seventy seconds.
Including the signal processing time of the instrument, the maximum time is no more than 70 seconds and 0.3 milliseconds.
Xiao Yu, who was on the Tianyuan A synchronous orbit, calmed down, controlled the instrument, and sent a signal.
"Hello, universe. My name is Xiao Yu, and I come from the earth."
