Chapter 211

This first technological explosion in the history of the Fengshen Empire gave birth to a large number of truly great scientists. These people had participated in Li Chunfeng's previous research on overcoming the Great Unification Theory.

For example, Professor Justin, who used to be the chosen one, developed an interstellar gravity missile based on his research on gravity cannons.For example, Dr. Watson, a well-known scholar in quantum mechanics, developed a quantum ripple cannon based on the Shenmu Empire's quantum space mine.

The most representative of them is a physicist named Zhong Han, aged 36, who used to be a researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Zhong Han proposed a material disintegration ray weapon based on the grand unified theory. The ray emitted by this weapon can weaken the strong force between the quarks at the bottom of matter and at the same time strengthen the electromagnetic force, so that the quarks will Suddenly spread out.

This kind of ray was discovered by Zhong Han in his research on element decay, which means that this kind of ray can accelerate the decay cycle of elements.

For example, weapons-grade plutonium-239 is bombarded with such rays. The half-life of this element is 2.4 years, but it will decay into uranium-235 after being irradiated by material-disintegrating rays for a few seconds.After continuous irradiation, it will further decay into Thorium 231.

But when this ray is made into a weapon-grade material disintegration ray cannon, it will cause the matter to completely disintegrate into elementary particles after being irradiated by this ray.

Facing the attack of this kind of weapon, even a fifth-level civilization can instantly destroy its battleship if its energy shield is consumed by the attack.

Li Chunfeng did not stop at this level, but further guided Zhong Han to study the decay of elements.

Atoms are composed of nuclei and electrons, nuclei are composed of neutrons and protons, protons and neutrons are hadrons, and hadrons are composed of quarks.

Hadrons are particles affected by the strong force.

Among the four fundamental forces, the strong force is the strongest, followed by the electromagnetic force.Electromagnetism is repulsion, which prevents particles from sticking together, and strong force is attraction, which pushes particles together.

Just in the struggle between the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic force, the particles are balanced and can exist stably.

The matter disintegration ray instantly opens the quarks. If the strong force can be strengthened and the electromagnetic force weakened at this time, the scattered quarks will collide violently.

At this time, quarks will recombine into protons and neutrons, and then recombine into atomic nuclei, and the atomic nuclei will capture free electrons, thus re-forming atoms.

This collision process is equivalent to the recombination of matter at the quark level. In this process, the mass of the atoms of the original matter must be lost in the process of collision and recombination of new atoms, and the lost mass will be transformed into huge energy.

For example, after iron element decays, it will change from iron to hydrogen. This process is extremely long on the time scale of the original earth. However, now that Zhong Han has developed a material disintegration ray, Li Chunfeng can use this ray to make iron decay. Becoming hydrogen, the process would be brief and controllable.

Therefore, when iron decays into hydrogen, mass will be lost, and the huge energy generated in it is a greater source of energy than nuclear fusion energy.

Li Chunfeng estimates that this energy is more than ten times the energy of nuclear fusion. The most wonderful thing about this process similar to the decay of elements is that no matter what substance will eventually decay into hydrogen atoms.

After the hydrogen atoms are collected, they can carry out the hydrogen fusion reaction.

In this way, any matter can be converted into energy. During interstellar voyages, if you are in a void without a star system, the energy is exhausted, and hydrogen energy cannot be obtained, you can disassemble the matter in the spacecraft. Used to convert into energy to keep the voyage going.

Moreover, if spaceships and warships of the same volume are loaded with heavy elements, they must be more massive than metallic hydrogen of the same volume.

It also means that under the same volume, warships can obtain more quality materials, thereby ensuring a longer voyage distance in the future.

Li Chunfeng used this principle to design a composite energy reactor. This energy furnace has two layers. The first layer is to decay various substances to obtain huge decay energy.

The hydrogen element after decay will be collected, enter the second layer, undergo hydrogen fusion reaction, and obtain nuclear fusion energy again. The product is helium, and this product can be recycled to the first layer for decay reaction.

This cycle continues until all the initially added substances are converted into energy. This cycle of accumulation of huge energy can provide a huge energy guarantee for Li Chunfeng's other research.

However, in the whole design, the core part still needs further research and refinement. For example, when the matter disintegrates into a quark state, how to control the re-enhancement of the strong force and the weakening of the electromagnetic force?And what level of impact must be reached to re-aggregate quarks?These studies are very delicate and require constant experimentation.

Therefore, Li Chunfeng handed over this work to Zhong Han for research, and devoted himself to another exciting research.

The reason why it is carried out simultaneously with Zhong Han is to ensure that when his own research is successful, Zhong Han can also complete the corresponding part.

Li Chunfeng's research is the super-light speed voyage of warships.

Because of the existence of the theory of relativity, in the conventional universe, the speed of objects has a maximum limit, that is, the speed of light.

If you can only travel at the speed of light, the universe seems to be too big. The diameter of the Milky Way alone is 16 light-years. What a desperate number.

Therefore, the speed of light must not be the highest speed, and super-light speed exists.

In Earth's time, some experiments in 2007 appeared to test pulses of light exceeding the speed of light, although these experiments were somewhat controversial.

Later, in two "quantum entanglement" experiments in 2007 and 2008, it was shown that the speed of information propagation is faster than the speed of light, at least more than [-] times.But what this actually proves is that space is jumpable.

Obviously, if you want to achieve faster than light speed, you need to have a certain understanding of space.Although the fourth-level civilization has not been able to establish a complete space theory, it has already sprouted.

In the Grand Unified Theory, there is an explanation for the curvature of space, and this explanation explains the way to realize the superluminal speed.

The space can be bent through the action of gravity. Usually, if you want to bend a small space, you need a huge mass of matter, such as neutron star or white dwarf matter, but this kind of matter is not only hard to find, but also difficult to effectively control.

But with the grand unified theory, gravity can be obtained through energy conversion, so that controllable gravity can be obtained through energy, thereby bending space.

Li Chunfeng's current research is to use the force field generator he made to conduct some kind of bending test on the space.

When the energy provided by the exclusive nuclear fusion reactor is continuously injected into the force field generator, the energy is converted into gravity, which keeps rising.

Then the strength of this gravitational force soon reaches the gravitational force of neutron star matter, which can produce space deformation in a very close place.

Through the subtle observation equipment, Li Chunfeng really saw the curvature of space, and this curvature is in all directions around it.

The theory of curvature navigation is to form the space into a bubble-like shape, the space is constantly curved and changing, and its speed can exceed the speed of light, and the spaceship in this bubble-like shape is relatively motionless.

For example, when the space is not curved, it is a flat surface (the curvature is 0), and the boat sails on it, and its speed will not accelerate. If the space suddenly bends, it is equivalent to a sudden downward [-] The waterfall with a high degree (the curvature is considered to be infinite at this time), the boat suddenly gains a very large speed.

The curvature navigation is to constantly bend the space in front of the spaceship through the force field generator, so that the spaceship is continuously accelerated, and this acceleration is relative to the inside of the bubble.

In this way, in the daily space, a phenomenon will be seen, that is, the spaceship suddenly disappears for a certain distance, and will reappear when the force field generator no longer bends the space.

When Li Chunfeng found in the experiment that a small spaceship model he had arranged moved ten centimeters in an instant, and then stopped the gravitational increase because of the force field generator and stopped bending the space.

This phenomenon made Li Chunfeng excited, this is FTL flight!

The ten-centimeter distance just now disappeared faster than 1.5 times the speed of light under conventional calculations. What an amazing scene.

Li Chunfeng excitedly conducted another experiment, applying more energy to the force field generator. This time, the small spaceship model flew a distance of ten meters, and pierced a screen not far away.

Immediately, Li Chunfeng discovered that the shape of the hole on the screen was not the cross-sectional shape of the small spaceship. Instead, Li Chunfeng became excited because it reflected that the force field generator bent this space.

So when the small spacecraft hole passes through, because the curved space returns to normal, the shape of the hole is different from the cross-sectional shape.

So far, Li Chunfeng has basically determined the principle and implementation method of curvature flight, and it seems that some modifications and designs will be carried out for the existing spacecraft, and new devices will be added.

For example, the force field generator in curved space will require a ring-shaped device to be designed around the battleship to guide the gravitational force generated by the force field generator, allowing the space in front of the battleship to achieve a certain curvature.

The battleship then flies at a certain speed so as to achieve the way of curvature flight.

Of course, due to the huge amount of energy required to bend the space, it is necessary to modify the energy source and engine of the battleship so that the output of this energy can reach a stable state.

Otherwise, the energy fluctuates up and down, and the gravitational force fluctuates. Wouldn’t the spaceship fly on the curvature for a while, and fly out of the curvature for a while?
Moreover, if nuclear fusion is used as fuel, the continuity of energy will also be a problem. The largest Kamikaze-class warship currently loaded with metal hydrogen fuel is only enough to fly 50 light-years faster than the speed of light.

This is the composite energy reactor designed by Li Chunfeng before, and the detailed control of the element decay part is handed over to Zhong Han for research.

Originally, this research needed to be experimented in the large particle collider around Nanhe San, but this equipment has recently been dismantled and shipped to a dedicated transport ship.

Fortunately, Zhong Han has conducted as many as 3248 collision experiments in his previous research, and the data of each experiment has been recorded in detail through the brain.

Zhong Han's matter disintegration ray was also researched during this process. Although this experiment cannot be continued now, the data of the previous 3248 experiments are enough for Zhong Han to develop a control method.

What's more, with these experimental data, it is completely possible to repeat the simulation in the virtual world, and build a model based on it, and perform parametric calculation derivation.

This matter can be carried out in the virtual world. Due to the time difference between the virtual world and the real world, Zhong Han saved a lot of time, thus successfully completing the task assigned by Li Chunfeng in a relatively short period of time.

In view of the outstanding performance of Zhong Han and others, Li Chunfeng held a special honor ceremony and awarded Zhong Han, Justin, and Watson the title of "Imperial Great Scientist".

The research and development of these practical technologies was finally completed during the time when the crisis was approaching.
