Chapter 278 Vacuum Zero Point Energy

Sophon’s power source is vacuum zero-point energy, which is very special, coming from vacuum, and has three characteristics: free, clean, and endless.

In a sense, this may be the best energy source in the world.

However, the technology for extracting vacuum zero-point energy is very complicated. The Trisolarans have only developed a little bit of superficial research, barely enabling microscopic particles such as sophons to stably extract vacuum zero-point energy.

High school physics briefly talked about something called the "uncertainty principle". This principle was proposed by the famous physicist [Werner Heisenberg], that is, it is impossible to accurately determine the position and momentum of an elementary particle at the same time.

According to the uncertainty principle, when the temperature drops to absolute zero, microscopic particles must be vibrating, because if the particle stops completely, then its momentum and position can be accurately measured at the same time, which violates the uncertainty principle.

The vibration at absolute zero, that is, the zero-point vibration in physics, the energy that microscopic particles still have is the zero-point energy.

When microscopic particles are in a vacuum, the zero point energy is called "vacuum zero point energy".

In 1948, Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir proposed a solution to detect the existence of this energy, that is, to place two uncharged metal plates in a vacuum, and when they are close enough, there will be a gap between them. There is a tiny attraction, and this attraction that "appears out of thin air" in the vacuum can only be brought about by energy fluctuations.

In 1996, this effect was confirmed experimentally.

According to Trisolaran's research, vacuum energy appears in the form of particles, which are continuously formed and disappeared on a tiny scale.

Usually, the vacuum is filled with particles of almost all wavelengths. When two uncharged metal plates are close, the longer wavelengths between them will be excluded first, and other waves outside them will produce a squeeze that makes them The force of approaching each other is expressed as the attractive force between the metal plates.

The technical research on vacuum zero point energy is unimaginably difficult, because extracting vacuum zero point energy is equivalent to borrowing a part of energy from the vacuum, and using vacuum zero point energy is to transfer this part of energy to other places—these places are usually not vacuum .

Therefore, the process of extracting and utilizing the vacuum zero-point energy is a process of "only borrowing but not repaying", which violates the law of energy conservation.

Trisolaris scientists had previously thought that sophons might have returned this energy to the vacuum without them noticing, though they hadn't noticed when and where the sophons got the extra energy from.

However, after obtaining Transformers' space bridge technology, Trisolaran scientists dispelled this view, because the space bridge technology is also a magical technology that breaks the energy conservation technology.

Now Trisolaran scientists believe that the energy conservation technology can be broken under certain circumstances, but they have not grasped the law yet.
"The civilization of the Andromeda galaxy has mastered the method of using the vacuum zero point energy to synthesize some kind of weapon that affects biological consciousness."

Chen Fan felt very novel.

Obviously, the coalition government's research on the zero point energy of vacuum is not thorough enough.

Vacuum zero-point energy is not just pure material energy like electricity. Vacuum zero-point energy also has spiritual and consciousness effects, but the coalition government has never noticed it.

"It points out a new technological direction for earth civilization."

"I don't know to what extent the Creator civilization's research on vacuum zero-point energy has reached. The coalition government should be reminded to request this part of the information first."

"However, let's rescue the coalition government now."

Qian Feiyan and others have been trapped on this planet for a whole day. This kind of "trapped" is at the spiritual level. Their bodies have always been in the best condition. MOSS has done a comprehensive physical examination for them, and also They were given some spirit-boosting medicine.

It is worth mentioning that MOSS is also affected by Oblivion Beam.

However, MOSS has always been more cautious in this regard. The MOSS on this planet is just a clone of MOSS. It will only interact with the main body of MOSS when needed. Therefore, the influence of the forgotten beam did not radiate the entire coalition government through MOSS.

It has to be said that the prudence of MOSS may have saved the coalition government once.

Because if all living things on Earth are affected by the Forgotten Beam, it's hard to say whether Chen Fan, who is the sum of the consciousness of the Earth's creatures, can deal with the influence of the Forgotten Beam so easily and freely.

"The feeling of fatigue is fading away."

Qian Feiyan showed a smile.

Qian Feiyan joined the Earth Worship Cult a few years ago. Although he was trapped on this planet and could not get news from the coalition government, he was sure that the influence of the Forgotten Beam would not dissipate naturally in just one day. It was Earth consciousness that came forward.

To deal with this kind of attack on the consciousness, the consciousness of the earth is an expert. After all, the things at the consciousness level should be handed over to the creatures at the consciousness level.

Qian Feiyan waited on the spot for a few minutes until the exhaustion completely disappeared.

"Minister Qian, we have recovered, how about you?"

"I recovered too."

Human beings regained their vitality and moved freely, only Quintasha still looked tired.

Kuntasha felt incredible.

"you."

She was too tired to organize what she wanted to say into a complete language in the first place.

"How are you all right?"

"Why am I still so tired?"

Quintasha couldn't understand.

She was sure that they had experienced exactly the same things as her compatriots hundreds of thousands of light-years away in the past 24 hours, no doubt affected by the oblivion beam.

But for some reason, humans suddenly recovered, and she was still trapped inside and couldn't find a way out.

Qian Feiyan walked up to Kuntasha and said energetically, "We have found a way to break the forgotten beam."

Kuntasha was shocked.

Do humans know how to crack the oblivion beam?

She was surprised and delighted.

What is surprising is that human beings have cracked the forgotten beam, and the joy is that human beings have mastered the method of cracking the forgotten beam, and the Creator civilization can exchange this method with human beings, and also get rid of the influence of the forgotten beam.

"Ms. Kuntasha, I think your compatriots will want to renegotiate the agreement we reached with us." Qian Feiyan said vigorously, "The previous agreement does not seem to be suitable for the current situation."

Although Qian Feiyan is not sure at this time whether the consciousness of the earth can help the civilization of the Creator get rid of the influence of the forgotten beam, this does not affect him seizing the opportunity to fight for the interests of the coalition government.

"Of course." Kuntasha paused for a long time, the forgetting light beam had placed a great burden on her mind, "I will contact my compatriots, and they will reconsider our agreement."
