MTL - Epoch of Twilight-Chapter 583 White dwarf battleship

The location of high-energy particle physics experiments is not in the Earth but in space.

There is a human particle collider, which is located in the orbit of the original Mercury and surrounds the sun. The entire perimeter reaches an astonishing 350 million kilometers. The huge energy of each launch will trigger the gravitational and electromagnetic changes in space. .

This is the largest monomer creation of human beings besides Dyson Ball, and a sacred place in the field of physics.

According to the attached particle collider, there are hundreds of thousands of affiliated experimental factories in large and small tens of thousands of laboratories. The resident humans have more than 10 million people and have formed a huge space city.

............

At this time in the high energy particle physics laboratory.

A piece of fingernail-sized material is lying quietly in an explosion-proof, radiation-proof isolation room.

But it is such a substance, but the quality is ten tons.

Even the most advanced optical equipment can not see its own color, it radiates high-intensity radiation throughout, the entire isolation room is radiant, the aurora flies, and the interference is extremely serious.

After Luo Shengwei and other people understood the great significance of this breakthrough to humans, they immediately pushed down all the itineraries and rushed to the laboratory in a special spaceship.

"By delivering high energy to the atom, the electrons gain energy and become discrete, and then blow off the electron cloud in the atom to get the naked nucleus." A laboratory manager, Gan Baba introduced to Luo Shengwei, the tone is quite exciting. "On this basis, we have strengthened the strong interaction between the nucleus, and finally got this incredible substance, its form is consistent with the theoretical white dwarf."

This is not only a huge breakthrough, but also an important verification of the unified field theory.

All physical phenomena in the universe can be explained by the four basic forces of gravity, electromagnetic force, strong interaction force and weak interaction force.

The first two are long-range forces, the latter two are short-range forces. For a long time, physicists are pursuing the attempt to put this natural image into a unified way. They are like the holy grail of physics, the supreme throne, and the ultimate answer.

But the limitations of cognition and observation make this theory always in a certain controversy and fog.

Until a hundred years ago, as various disciplines began to develop rapidly, technology was blown out.

The experimental instruments are more advanced, and the means of observation are becoming more and more fascinating. This theory has only dawned. Even so, it still lasts for several decades, and the relatively perfect unified field theory really emerges.

Unified field theory can also be called unified string theory.

Substance subdivision to the end, there is the lowest chord composition, it is a probability wave, following the quantum theory, looming, from time to time in the four dimensions, whether it is electromagnetic force, gravity or strong interaction and weak interaction within the atom Forces come from all kinds of expressions of these strings. All the forces are two sides, harmonious and unified.

However, theory is ultimately a theory. No matter how strict the logic is, it is seamless. As long as there is no verification in one day, it is just a hypothesis, not a truth.

It can be said that the significance of this verification is no less than the theoretical proposal, and even further perfected the theory.

"Before you came, we had already carried out destructive experiments on it, but because the preparation was not sufficient, it has not reached its upper limit so far, it seems impossible to destroy."

Luo Shengwei’s heart was faint and excited. After watching it for a while, he saw that it had been radiating a strong pulse, and suddenly found a problem:

"This white dwarf material seems to have been in a state of energy release. How long can it be stable?"

"You said it is good. It really can't be stable for a long time. After all, energy is balanced. It is impossible to release energy indefinitely. Its form is incompatible with the environment here. It is like a foreign body in this universe. Instinct wants to put it. Elimination, according to the calculation, it can only exist for about 12 hours. Once the strong interaction force is weakened to a certain extent, it will completely disintegrate. However, the isolation chamber is a high-strength critical metal, which is very safe, even if it is a hundred thousand. Equivalent nuclear bombs are detonated inside and cannot be destroyed."

"Since it can make white dwarf material, it should be a way to maintain long-term stability!" Luo Shengwei immediately asked, now the human situation is tense, the war is overcast, if this material can create a warship, the contrast of power will be completely rewritten. .

"Of course, there is a huge amount of energy that needs to be delivered every moment!" said the laboratory manager, some hesitant.

Luo Shengwei’s eyes lit up and quickly asked: “How big is it?”

“The average energy consumed per year is about ten times the mass of antimatter!”

Luo Shengwei quickly calculated that he almost didn't come up. According to this calculation, only the white dwarf material of the size of the fingernail is maintained by light every year, and the energy consumed requires one hundred tons of antimatter.

What is the annual anti-matter production of humans?

There are barely one hundred billion tons. If all of them are used to maintain the white dwarf material, it will only last one trillion tons. One trillion tons seems to be quite a lot, but in terms of the ultra-high density of white dwarf matter, the actual It is also 100 million cubic meters.

Even if it is only coated with a layer of white dwarf material film, it can only be coated with a maximum of 100 billion square meters.

What can 100 billion square meters do?

Human beings currently have a standard curvature warship with a surface area of ​​2.5 billion square meters. Humans are running out of energy and can only barely raise 40 ships. This is still only maintained, not yet manufactured, although the other party did not speak, but I want to have less energy.

Can't make it?

Luo Shengwei only thought for a while, and he made up his mind!

Must be made! Even if you sell iron in a pot, donate blood to make it!

This is the absolute power of a hammer. The white dwarf is dense and the nucleus is completely squeezed together. The harder critical metal is just like a crunchy biscuit. It can't be damaged inside the star.

Even if the battleship is plated with such a layer of white dwarf material film, it is invincible. Apart from anti-matter, it cannot be destroyed by the current power of mankind.

......

Half a month later, through technical verification, a shipbuilding plan codenamed "Pangu" was officially established and construction began soon.

In fact, in addition to the industrial production of white dwarf materials and the critical compression storage of antimatter, it remains to be resolved, most of which are off-the-shelf technologies, including hundreds of times the space capsule and the most important curvature engine that increase the anti-matter fuel storage space of the spacecraft. .

In anticipation, it will weigh hundreds of times more than a conventional curvature spacecraft, close to the planet fortress, only two-thirds of its size, but the curvature engine does not need much change.

Unlike conventional flight, the mass does not affect the speed of curvature flight. It is only related to the size of the material space. Even if the mass is hundreds of times thousands of times, it does not affect its curvature speed.
