Everyone who was at a loss what to do was now very troubled.
Huang Mingzhe thought for a while, exchanged opinions with Academician Yang and others, and finally decided to conduct a vacuum zero-point energy experiment.
"Mingzhe, isn't it too risky?" Wang Yifang asked worriedly.
Huang Mingzhe was calm and composed: "There will be no problems in small-scale experiments, as long as we control the experimental energy level."
Others have the same idea. After all, Huang Mingzhe's vacuum decay formula is theoretical. To put it simply, it is just words without any basis.
Sometimes intelligent creatures are creatures that will not shed tears until they see the coffin. If no evidence can be produced, someone may take the risk to develop and use vacuum zero-point energy.
Or some people may think that they can control it so that the usage of vacuum zero-point energy does not exceed the limit. Unfortunately, arrogance is often a recipe for death.
Therefore this experiment is essential.
There is no problem with safety. On the one hand, it is impossible for them to extract the energy of 1.44 suns in a short time. It is technically impossible for the time being. On the other hand, Huang Mingzhe has no suicidal tendencies and will not extract vacuum zero-point energy on a large scale before he is sure.
.
The directors of the scientific committee also agreed with Huang Mingzhe's experimental test, and they needed the final piece of evidence.
…
March 28th.
The three Tianzhou spacecraft depart from the New Wenchang Satellite City, and their destinations are Blue Star orbit 950,000 kilometers, Blue Star orbit 1.2 million kilometers, and Blue Star orbit 1.5 million kilometers (Blue Star and the Sun's own Lagrange point L1)
.
There are many factors that may affect the experiment on the Blue Star, so Huang Mingzhe chose to conduct this experiment in three areas very far away from the Blue Star.
The Tianzhou spacecraft is equipped with special vacuum zero-point energy detection equipment, energy siphon devices and a series of other scientific instruments.
Among them, the energy siphon device is an imitation of the Heart of Nibelung, and the efficiency of the energy siphon effect is only about 5.6% of that of the Heart of Nibelung.
In order to ensure that the energy siphon effect would occur as planned, the scale of the imitation Heart of Nibelon device was tens of thousands of times larger than the original.
After 15 hours of flight, the Tianzhou 014 spacecraft successfully reached the 950,000-kilometer orbit of Blue Star.
…
Blue Star's Scientific Committee Virtual Meeting Room.
"Chairman, Tianzhou 014 is already in place."
Huang Mingzhe looked at the time: "Start the experiment."
"yes."
Academician Yang, Zhang Tingyu, Ding Zhaozhong, Higgs and others chatted quietly with the people around them while waiting for the test results.
at the same time.
In Blue Star's 950,000-kilometer orbit, the Tianzhou 014 spacecraft first launched six scientific detection satellites in all directions.
These satellites carry sophisticated detection instruments that can detect neutrinos, gravity, vacuum zero-point energy, photons, magnetic fields, etc.
The satellites orbit the spacecraft at distances of 10 kilometers, 30 kilometers, 90 kilometers, 150 kilometers, 300 kilometers and 900 kilometers respectively.
Not only is there scientific detection equipment on the satellite, but the spacecraft itself is also equipped with three sets of equipment.
Ensure that the results will not be erroneous due to instrument errors.
Before the experiment, the ground first detected the gravity, magnetic field, photons, cosmic rays, neutrinos, and vacuum zero-point energy data of the surrounding environment.
The detailed parameters of the surrounding environment were collected within half an hour to ensure that nothing was missed.
[The experiment officially begins.]
The imitation Nibelung Heart device on the Tianzhou 014 spacecraft began to operate, and the surging electrical energy was sucked out into the void.
After the imitation Heart of Nibelon device started generating electricity, the detection equipment that had been calm began to produce abnormal data.
Inside the virtual meeting room.
Lines of data are continuously refreshed on the virtual display.
[Zero point energy parameters: 1.44267853……1.44267852……1.44267850……]
Not only did the spacecraft's own scientific detection instruments detect changes in parameters, but even the satellites also detected varying degrees of parameter mutations.
The changes may seem very small, but the changes actually appear in the universe.
"There is slight chaos in the magnetic field, gravity is weakening, and the zero-point energy density of vacuum is also decreasing."
Although they already agreed with Huang Mingzhe's theory, seeing this situation with their own eyes made everyone present feel frightened.
If vacuum decay is really triggered, the blue star 950,000 kilometers away will be turned into nothingness and a true vacuum area in 3 seconds.
Half an hour later, the imitation Nibelung Heart device stopped working, and then the magnetic field returned to normal and the gravity parameters returned to their previous data.
Only the vacuum zero-point energy parameter in this area did not return to normal quickly. Calculated from the recovery speed, it is estimated that it will take 850 hours to return to a level close to the previous level.
The reason why it is said to be close to the previous level is that unless the energy absorbed by the imitation Nibelon Heart device is returned, the vacuum zero-point energy here will never be able to return to the previous level.
This is just like the heart of the Nibelung is a water pump, and the vacuum zero-point energy is a sea. The water pump pumps millions of cubic meters of water, and it is obviously impossible to cause a significant drop in sea level all at once.
However, the energy extracted by the Heart of Nibelon device has been turned into electrical energy and can no longer be changed back to vacuum zero-point energy.
Just like the water in the sea is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, and then the hydrogen element is picked up as nuclear fuel, which means that some hydrogen elements cannot return to the water cycle.
There seems to be no problem for a short time, but if the vacuum zero-point energy is extracted for a long time, the consequences will be disastrous.
As an important basis for maintaining the current rules of the universe, vacuum zero-point energy is crucial. Once vacuum zero-point energy is excessively absorbed in an area, vacuum decay may be triggered.
Vacuum decay is a bit like two-way foil. Once excited, it will expand irreversibly at the speed of light, destroying everything in its path.
At least Huang Mingzhe now has no way to curb the decay and expansion of the vacuum, nor to return energy to the vacuum.
Even if there is a way to return energy, new humans cannot ensure that other alien civilizations do not excessively extract vacuum zero-point energy. This is a deadlock.
The universe is too big, and the expansion of the universe is still proceeding at the speed of light. If a civilization somewhere in the universe commits suicide and triggers vacuum decay, vacuum decay may not be able to destroy the universe, and the expansion of the universe may continue to be accompanied by vacuum decay.
…
Next, the remaining two Tianzhou spacecrafts also arrived at the designated orbit one after another.
The experimental test results are similar to those of the Tianzhu 014 spacecraft.
Putting down the analysis report in his hand, Ma Zhongming hurriedly suggested: "Mingzhe, just leave the satellite nearby for testing. We can no longer conduct vacuum zero-point energy absorption experiments."
Huang Mingzhe looked around and asked: "What do you think?"
"I agree to suspend the experiment."
"No, even the energy siphon laboratory must be suspended."
"correct."
Although he was very bitter in his heart, Cai Defeng still put the overall situation first: "Chairman, I agree to suspend the energy siphon laboratory."
Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Huang Mingzhe nodded slightly: "In this case, then suspend all actual experiments on vacuum zero-point energy."
However, Huang Mingzhe did not kill him with a stick. He went on to say: "The theory can continue to be studied. In addition, we can study how to return energy to the vacuum, or study whether the vacuum itself has a self-compensation mechanism, and how to curb the decay of the vacuum."
"Ming Zhe's words make sense." Academician Yang agreed.
Although the Scientific Committee passed the "Management Measures for Vacuum Zero Point Energy Research", everyone did not relax in their hearts.
