Chapter 507: Studying Gamma Rays
A month later, Wucheng, the negative 10th floor of the Galaxy Research Building!
Originally, the negative 10 floors consisted of a total of 3 laboratories.
But now it has all been opened up and built into a new type of laboratory - the gamma ray laboratory.
That's right, in the next few days, Xiao Jun will focus on the study of gamma rays, in order to develop an enhanced serum that allows human genes to break through to a higher level of life!
I saw that in the middle of this huge laboratory, there was a huge circular sealed laboratory.
It covers an area of about 3,000 square meters.
The outer layer of protection is made of 20 centimeters of dense gold metal.
The second layer is made of titanium alloy with a thickness of about 30 centimeters, and the third layer is a radiation-proof barrier with a thickness of one meter.
The fourth layer is super tempered glass with a thickness of 10 cm.
The fifth layer is still a protective rope compartment, but the thickness is only 30 cm thick.
Each compartment is about three meters apart, which is equivalent to a corridor.
Inside, there are large and small experimental rooms that are divided.
Each laboratory is protected by 20 cm thick tempered glass, and the outer layer is still covered with radiation protection.
After all, Xiao Jun is studying gamma rays, which are radiated, and various other radiation sources will be produced during the experiment, so he must do a good job in preventing radiation.
As for the hard safety of the laboratory, it is absolutely superb. Not to mention anything else, the outermost layer of 20 centimeters of gold alone is estimated to be impossible to open if the earth is not a superweapon such as a nuclear bomb at present.
This kind of experiment, Xiao Jun will definitely not go in to do the experiment by himself, the whole process is controlled by the Galaxy housekeeper, and it is operated by intelligent robots, mechanical arms and other automated machinery.
After all, if it is radiated by gamma rays, it is not a joke, and it will cost you your life in minutes.
He's not going to take any chances!
In the laboratory, inside a super tempered glass cage, a lion is imprisoned.
The lion is still in good spirits at the moment, but it looks a little anxious because it doesn't go out.
This lion is a wild lion, which Xiao Jun caught and used for experiments.
Next door to the lion is a car-sized atomic decay machine that can make tiny, not very powerful gamma rays. At present, Xiao Jun is also very fond of this miniature gamma ray. After all, he was worried that the gamma rays would be too powerful, and the test would be hung up all of a sudden.
Experimentation should start from the smallest!
This atomic decay machine was developed by Xiao Jun himself.
Atoms are made up of protons and neutrons (collectively known as hadrons) and are sustained by the strong nuclear force between hadrons (the strongest known force to work at the moment). However, although the nuclear force is strong, its range of action is very short, even small as the diameter of the hadron, so there is almost no nuclear force between the hadrons that are not next to each other. The massive nucleus is in an unstable state, and if a high-energy hadron hits the nucleus, the nucleus will oscillate, emitting one or two high-energy neutrons and gamma rays, which decay into a stable low-mass nucleus.
In other words, this atomic decay machine can release gamma rays!
Xiao Jun sorted out the research data of Dr. Banner and others, as well as the research data of the earth where he was located, he knew very clearly that powerful gamma-ray bursts could kill a certain range of cosmic life, and what was more deadly was that gamma-ray bursts also had regular occurrences, which was unfavorable news for cosmic life, because this situation could prevent cosmic life from evolving into advanced species. He assessed that gamma-ray bursts may have cleared about 90 percent of the galaxy's space, and that the Milky Way galaxy was also hit by gamma-ray bursts, and that life on Earth could face a similar fate in the future. Gamma-ray bursts come from bursts when stars enter the last years of their lives, and their powerful radiation can damage DNA and cause planets to lose their atmospheres. Similarly, this situation must be the same in the world where the other members of the Xueba group are located!
Xiao Jun also found that gamma-ray bursts have hit his Earth in the past 500 million years or so, causing a large number of life extinctions, which may explain why we still haven't found other cosmic life, and scientists have also found that gamma-ray bursts may render many galaxies lifeless based on the results of sky surveys. The Earth has also been "baptized" by gamma-ray bursts in the past years, but life on Earth has survived tenaciously, and this situation will also occur in other celestial bodies in the universe, which means that life on other celestial bodies may have more tenacious vitality.
For this speculation, Xiao Jun is very convinced. First of all, the Hulk is a good example of this, he survived the gamma rays!
Over the past 500 million years or so, gamma-ray bursts in the Milky Way have rendered much of the galaxy unviable, and physicist Tsvi Piran from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem said that deadly gamma-ray bursts occur very frequently in the Milky Way.
Gamma-ray bursts can also occur around Earth, but they are more powerful near the center of the Milky Way, with less than 50% chance of a gamma-ray burst at the edge of the Milky Way. From a distance, there is a greater chance that life in the universe will survive about 32,000 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way.
From the distribution characteristics of galaxies, it can be seen that life is suitable for survival at the edge of large galaxies, and the space environment here is the safest, so huge galaxies are actually only suitable for survival near the edge, and such space accounts for about 10% of galaxies. According to the observations of space telescopes, gamma-ray bursts occur almost every day in the universe, and the direction is random, if a planet with life is unfortunate enough to be in the path of the gamma-ray burst, then the life on this celestial body will be wiped out, scientists believe that the probability of such an event is 1 in 10 million.
Therefore, in Xiao Jun's opinion, this gamma ray is very mysterious, very powerful, and very taboo.
If he didn't have a Xueba chat group, he might think that gamma rays are something that humans can't resist.
But from the Hulk, as well as Marvel, a more powerful race of life (Protoss) has emerged.
He felt that gamma rays may be closely related to the evolution of life, and even, if gamma rays can be studied thoroughly, it will not be far from the truth!
"Open the first experiment!" Xiao Jun instructed the Galaxy Butler.
The purpose of this research is to see if the strengthened lion can withstand the radiation of gamma rays!
