The outside world is changing, Zhou Xing has no time to pay attention, and after returning to the capital, he continues to live at two points and one line.

Underground experimental area, huge conference, Zhou Xing and experts to carry out a seminar,

No, the topic has changed, and now it should be called the 'Technical Direction Briefing'.

In the center of the huge conference table, the holographic screen displays a design of the spaceship of the 'Star Shine', which is full of science fiction.

The meeting room was silent when a pin dropped could be heard.

Everyone at the scene, including Zhou Xing, who was in the chairman's position, frowned and thought.

At today's meeting, Zhou Xing presented a big problem to everyone, 'to provide a technical direction for clear observation of celestial bodies from an ultra-long distance. ”

Looking at the silent subordinates, Zhou Xing suddenly smiled and asked: "Why don't you speak, you can talk freely about any R&D direction, don't be limited by realistic conditions." ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions moved slightly, but then they shook their heads, not knowing where to start.

Zhou Xing put forward an exaggerated idea that he wanted to design an astronomical telescope that could clearly observe stars beyond 10,000 light-years and observe the appearance of life on them.

"Mr. Zhou, according to your assumption, the optical telescope definitely doesn't meet your requirements, and I really can't think of other directions!" Xu Mingwei said helplessly with an old face, looking at Zhou Xing.

According to Zhou Xing's requirements, the mainstream astronomical telescope technology of human society does not meet at all, as for other directions,......。 Everyone was at a loss.

Human society uses optical telescopes, ultraviolet, infrared, X-ray, and Y-ray to observe celestial bodies,...... Even the most advanced JST space telescopes in human society can observe exoplanets, study the spectral signals of exoplanets, and understand their atmospheric composition,...... , and so on, and its properties still belong to optical telescopes.

Optical telescopes cannot avoid the observation and analysis of 'light', however, the propagation speed of the observation target with 'light' is a distance of 10,000 years, so from this point, it cannot meet Zhou Xing's requirements.

"Mr. Zhou, there is no theoretical basis for other directions! Unless, space-time wormholes, or dimensional travel, there is really no possibility of implementation!"

"Yes, the universe is too big, and if you want to achieve your vision, you can only think about dimensions, wormholes, and this aspect. ”

“……。 ”

Xu Mingwei's words were agreed by everyone, and the experts and professors followed one by one.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing fell silent, frowning and thinking.

Is it still going to go in this direction in the end?

The search for the Dark Zerg was a must, but the distance between the stars made this impossible.

The only way to 'shorten' this distance is to imagine a 'space-time wormhole'.

"Wormhole" is a concept first proposed by Austrian physicist Ludwig Flem in 1916, and hypothesized by Einstein and Nathan Rosen in 1930 when studying the gravitational field equation, thinking that instantaneous space transfer or time travel can be done through wormholes.

'Space-time wormhole' is a space tunnel connecting two distant space-time, just like a whirlpool in the sea, which is ubiquitous but fleeting, these space-time vortices are caused by the rotation of stars and gravity, just like the whirlpool can make the local water surface and the bottom of the water closer, and can make two local spaces that are far away from each other instantly connected.

In order to study space-time wormholes, we must first start with 'dark matter', and then involve an unsolvable problem.

Dark matter-dark energy is the "dark cloud" that envelops today's quantum particle physics + astrophysics, the existing technical means of human beings, can not observe it, it is a kind of hypothetical matter due to the existence of phenomena that cannot be explained by existing theories, a substance smaller than electrons and photons, without electric charge, does not interfere with electrons, can pass through electromagnetic waves and gravitational fields, and is the most important component of the universe.

Dark matter can interfere with the light waves or gravitational attraction emitted by stars, and its presence can be clearly felt, and "dark matter particles" may have weak interaction forces in quantum particle physics, polarized particles of massive heavy particles, and transition linear particles similar to "magnetic unipolar particles".

“……。 ”

Seeing that Zhou Xing didn't say a word, he fell into deep thought, and the experts and professors looked at each other and felt very uneasy.

"Mr. Zhou, don't bother with this thought! It's only right to complete the 'Xingyao' power thruster project as soon as possible. ”

"yes! The 'wormhole' is too ethereal, without a hint of actual direction. ”

"Mr. Zhou, don't fall into it! It's important to study something practical. ”

Mr. Zhou,......。 ”

The field of 'space-time wormhole' is like a bottomless 'giant pit' Once Zhou Xing falls into it, he may not be able to climb out for the rest of his life, and the experts and professors persuaded excitedly one by one.

Zhou Xing came to his senses, saw that everyone was dumbfounded and said, "You guys are too worried, I know what to do." ”

Seeing Zhou Xing's expression, the faces of the experts and professors changed, and a bad premonition floated in their hearts, looking at the situation, Zhou Xing seemed to be going to conduct research in this field.

"Mr. Zhou, we all know your abilities, but the field of 'wormhole' is really different!"

"Whether the 'wormhole' has 'existed' or not, it's thankless to engage in research in this field!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, 'wormhole' is an unreachable direction, wormhole, like a black hole, is an extremely distorted phenomenon of time and space, it will collapse rapidly under the action of gravity, this collapse speed, even light can't shuttle, let alone be used by us. ”

"Mr. Zhou, don't put your energy into this field!

“……。 ”

Hearing Zhou Xing's 'unspoken meaning', the experts and professors' faces changed greatly, and they anxiously persuaded them.

"Alright, you guys don't dwell on this, let's move on to the next experiment. Zhou Xing smiled and watched everyone change the topic.

Hearing this, the experts and professors glanced at each other, their expressions were quite helpless, Zhou Xing was their boss, they persuaded everything they could, he couldn't listen, and they couldn't do anything.

"Time and Space Wormhole" is a project that is high and low, and Zhou Xing does not expect others to join.

After summarizing the R&D progress and issuing the R&D task, the daily seminar meeting of the laboratory ended, and Zhou Xing began to conduct research independently.

In the rest area, Zhou Xing sat on the thick sofa and closed his eyes.

In the next second, Zhou Xing's consciousness appeared in the illusory space of rows of giant bookshelves.

With a large desk stacked with a bunch of books related to wireless power supply technology, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, and commanded out of thin air: "System, help me screen books related to space-time wormholes, cosmic dimensions, black holes, and dark energy." ”

"Okay, host. The system replied unchanged.

Immediately, the books on the desk disappeared, and the books listed on the bookshelf in front of Zhou Xing changed: "The Nature of Time and Space", "The True Face of the Universe", "A Brief History of Time", "The Characteristics of Wormholes", "Positive and Negative Energy", .......

Zhou Xing took a deep breath, walked to the bookshelf and picked out a few thick masterpieces, and then sat down at the desk and read them carefully.

The space-time wormhole is a very advanced field, and compared with the previous research field, Zhou Xing is not very confident.

Very thirsty, Zhou Xing's mind was immersed in the book, turning the pages of the book page by page,......。

One, two, three, four,......。 Time flies, and the stacks of books on the desk keep changing.

In three days, Zhou Xing was like a sponge, absorbing all the books about space-time wormholes in the virtual library, digesting them, and turning them into his own knowledge.

Put the book on, 'whoosh', Zhou Xing's figure disappeared in the virtual library.

In the lounge, Zhou Xing opened his eyes.

Zhou Xiaozhi, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward, pointed to the food on the coffee table and said to Zhou Xing: "Boss, you finally woke up! Are you hungry, I prepared your favorite steak." ”

Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi, and nodded with a smile: "I'm just hungry, thank you Xiaozhi." ”

After speaking, Zhou Xing picked up the knife and fork and quickly started to move.

In the lounge, the sound of 'clanging', 'clanging', was the sound of Zhou Xing cutting meat chops with a knife hitting the bottom of the plate.

Seven or eight minutes passed.

Seeing that Zhou Xing had almost eaten, Zhou Xiaozhi couldn't wait to ask: "Boss, how is the wormhole project?

Zhou Xing put the knife and fork down, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi, and nodded with a smile: "Well, it's a bit eyebrow-raising." ”

"Really, what are you going to do, tell me quickly!" Zhou Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, staring directly at Zhou Xing, and anxiously asked.

"Do you know the situation of the quantum transition?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Xiaozhi with a smile.

"Of course, quantum transition is an important process of leapfrog change in the microscopic state, under the action of the outside world, the state of any kind of quantum mechanical system undergoes a leap change, for example: electrons jump from high (low) energy level to low (high) energy level under the irradiation of light, from one state to another state of jump change, the state before the quantum transition occurs is called the initial state, and the state after the transition occurs is called the final state. Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and replied

"Quantum transitions occur irregularly, as atoms move from the excited state (energy level e2, wave function ψ2) to the ground state (e1, ψ1, e1

"There are countless radioactive sources in nature: cosmic stars, the sun, the oceans on the earth, mountains, rocks, soils, forests, and various objects produced by human beings, all of which emit different degrees of infrared light in an environment above absolute zero (-273C), which is called heat rays in modern physics, and heat energy is a kind of cosmic energy, which can be converted by radiation (radiation), conduction and convection,...... , which is closely related to quantum transitions. ”

Zhou Xiaozhi answered Zhou Xing's question in detail, and finally asked puzzledly: "Boss, does this have anything to do with the project we are studying?"

Zhou Xing smiled slightly and explained: "On the microscopic scale, wormholes constantly appear and disappear in the quantum vacuum, but the scale of this 'wormhole' is not tiny, and it can only accommodate elementary particles to pass through. ”

"Boss, you mean that the quantum transition is carried out through these 'wormholes'?" Zhou Xiaozhi stared at Zhou Xing and asked in surprise.

"It's just a rough guess! We're going to have to do some research to verify it. Zhou Xing smiled and explained.

"Boss, this probability is more than 69%, but how can we take advantage of this direction?" Zhou Xiaozhi's electronic eyes flashed with a stream of data.

Hearing Zhou Xiaozhi's answer, Zhou Xing's spirit was shocked, his eyes flashed with aura, and he said in a fixed voice: "Let's capture this 'tiny wormhole' first, let it be expanded later, and stabilize it." ”

Aside from the consequences of uncertainty after the opening of the 'wormhole', the difficulty of 'positioning and capturing' the 'tiny wormhole', and the energy of opening the wormhole, there is no way to stabilize the 'wormhole', and the success rate of the implementation of this technology is: 0.01%. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and replied a little frustrated.

After a series of deduction calculations, Zhou Xiaozhi quickly obtained an 'exact' data, the problem of this research and development scheme is very big, to 'expand' the wormhole of the 'microscopic' particle transition, it requires an extremely powerful energy,...... Many directions are full of uncertainties, huge risks to take, and the success rate is extremely low.

Zhou Xing took a tissue on the table, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Isn't there still a little hope, since there is hope, we should not give up, we can increase its success rate from all aspects." ”

"'Wormhole' is one of the ways to understand the true face of the universe, from a macroscopic point of view, the cosmic vacuum is nothing, but from the microscopic particle layer, the cosmic vacuum is actually an active quantum 'ocean', the whole universe is filled with all kinds of tiny particles, both positive and negative. ……。 ”

"This 'quantum ocean' has 'waves', 'bubbles', 'vortices', 'infinite particles' run in a special law, from the 'Casimir' effect, you can get clues of the universe' negative energy', but also the main reason for the emergence of 'quantum wormhole', negative energy can produce repulsive gravity. ”

Zhou Xing threw the tissue close to the trash can, explained to Zhou Xiaozhi with a smile on his face, and finally concluded: "If the negative energy is placed around the 'wormhole' channel, it can cancel out the gravitational pull of the 'wormhole' itself, prevent the 'wormhole' tower, and help the wormhole remain stable,......。 ”

"Boss, okay...... I listen to you. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing directly, as if he didn't know him, and his electronic eyes showed a complicated color.

Human beings are really an 'incredible' creature! Knowing that the success rate is extremely low, but not giving up, at this moment, Zhou Xiaozhi learned a spirit called 'perseverance' from Zhou Xing.
