Chapter 367: Collision Experiment (Subscription Requested)

Many physicists said that they could not refuse the temptation of the super-large particle collider, and they contacted Future Technology Co., Ltd., hoping to join the research team of Future Technology Co., Ltd. to jointly solve a series of modern physics problems such as the secret of the Higgs boson, the secret of antimatter, the secret of dark matter and dark energy.

The media also reported on the matter, but most of the general public was confused, the super-large particle collider, the Higgs boson, why do objects have mass, antimatter, the Standard Model, dark matter and dark energy...... I'm going, I don't understand it at all, there's wood, physics is really difficult, I'd better put on a virtual helmet and go to the virtual world to enjoy it, our Tiger Reincarnation Squad is about to have a team battle with the other five reincarnation squads in the world of the magic revision "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

Zhang Wei and the physicists at Future Technology completely ignored the outside world's opinions, and they came to the moon as soon as possible, ready to start the experiment.

An hour and a half later, Zhang Wei arrived from Earth at the High Energy Physics Research Center on the Moon, the door was empty, there was not even a single guard, but its security measures were extremely tight, everyone had to verify the brain waves before they could enter. If you want to break in, a laser weapon installed in a hidden corner will activate immediately, killing the intruder.

"Welcome Dr. Zhang Wei!"

When Zhang Wei walked to the door, a voice sounded, and then, the door of the research center automatically opened, and when Zhang Wei entered, it immediately closed.

This research center, the building on the surface of the earth, is actually nothing, just an entrance, and the real place of work is at a depth of 50 meters underground.

Zhang Wei walked to the front, where there are 20 elevators leading to the underground, which also need to be verified for brain waves before they can be unlocked.

After stepping out of the elevator, there is a hall with an area of more than 200 square meters, and the entire underground building covers an area of more than 100,000 square meters, the experimental area has 70,000 square meters, and the living area has 30,000 square meters, where more than 1,000 scientists work.

"When can I start experimenting?"

Zhang Wei looked at Lu Zhilong, the head of the High Energy Physics Research Center, who came to greet him, and asked.

"Doctor, experiments can be conducted at any time. ”

Lu Zhilong smiled, with a hint of expectation on his face, in fact, all the scientists involved in this project hope that the ultra-large particle collider can be operated as soon as possible.

"An hour later, the experiment began. ”

After Zhang Wei gave the order, Lu Zhilong immediately began to arrange the work, and the scene was busy.

Zhang Wei came to the control center and took command, and at this time, the status and parameters of the particle collider were displayed on the virtual screens of the control center.

One of the key parameters is temperature, because superconducting magnets are used in the Large Particle Collider, and in order for the electromagnet to become a superconductor and effectively conduct current, without resistance consumption or energy loss, they need to be cooled to ultra-low temperatures, and at present, the temperature of the particle collider is -272.3C, which is one of the coldest places on Earth, and even cooler than the temperature of outer space - the temperature of outer space is stable at about -270.5C. For this reason, the particle collider must be connected to a liquid helium shunt system and other equipment that is used to cool the magnets.

Interestingly, when particles are accelerated to nearly the speed of light and then collide, there is an artificially created maximum temperature of about 10 trillion degrees Celsius.

Soon, an hour passed, and the preparations were all ready.

"The first experiment of the ultra-large particle collider of Future Technology has officially begun. ”

With Zhang Wei's order, six large-scale nuclear fusion power stations connected to the particle collider were immediately activated, providing majestic energy for the particle collider.

"The magnetic field is activated!"

"Release the proton beam!"

The two streams of protons propagate in opposite directions through different accelerator tubes, and they begin to accelerate continuously under the action of the magnetic field, eventually accelerating to 0.99999999 times the speed of light, and then collide.

As mentioned earlier, according to Einstein's special theory of relativity, the energy of an object is equal to its mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light (e=mc2), and increasing the energy of the particle actually increases the mass of the particle, so as the proton gets closer to the speed of light, the accelerator energy consumed to increase the kinetic energy of the particle will continue to increase. And now the limit of this super-large particle collider is to accelerate protons to 0.99999999 times the speed of light. (In general, it is impossible for an ordinary object to reach the speed of light, except in the case of special particles such as photons that have no mass at rest.) )

And when the proton is accelerated to nearly the speed of light, in addition to the tremendous energy, there is also a miraculous thing happening - time slows down. Using this principle, it may be possible to build a time machine. Professor Stephen Hawking once pointed out that if there was a "human accelerator" with comparable performance to the European Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that could bring passengers close to the speed of light, according to the special theory of relativity, people outside the machine would feel like years had passed for the same period of time, but passengers inside the accelerator would feel like only a few days had passed. By the time they finish this accelerated trip, they will be much younger than the others. Of course, this is almost impossible, because if you want to accelerate a 100-kilogram object to 99.9% of the speed of light, you need to use 100 million gigaules of energy, which is too expensive!

……

Over time, the two proton streams have completed the first stage of acceleration, followed by the second and third stages...... The speed of each proton is getting faster and faster, reaching 0.9 times the speed of light, 0.999 times the speed of light...... The energy of the proton is also getting higher and higher, and the mass is slowly increasing......

In 1978, an ordinary physicist named Anatolibugorski from the National Institute of High Energy Physics of the former Soviet Union was "headshot" by a high-energy proton beam shot by a particle accelerator.

Luckily, he survived, but the high-energy proton beam had passed through his face, burning his bones and damaging the brain tissue underneath, leaving him completely deaf in his left ear, paralyzed on the left side of his face, and often having seizures. As of now, he is the first and only person in the world to be headshot by a high-energy proton beam ejected by a particle accelerator.

After a series of accelerations, the gap between the speed of the two proton streams and the speed of light narrowed, and finally reached the limit of this large particle collider in the Super Proton Synchrotron - 0.99999999 times the speed of light.

"The collision is about to begin!"

"The probe is ready!"

"Quantum computer ready!"

Then, two streams of protons traveling in opposite directions collided head-on, and a violent collision occurred! According to predictions, more than 1 billion collisions would occur in one second!

Protons were knocked to pieces, releasing unimaginable energy, producing a high temperature 100,000 times hotter than the center of the sun in a very small space, that is, about 10 trillion degrees, and at the same time, a small "Big Bang" was staged, and a miniature black hole was born, which is the instantaneous process of the formation of the universe nearly 14 billion years ago. However, all this lasted for a short time, less than a millionth of a second, and was not observable with the human eye, and had to rely on detectors.

To sample and record up to 1 billion proton collisions per second, Future Technologies has built huge instruments that measure particles with nanometer accuracy, and equipped the Very Large Particle Collider with an advanced electronic trigger system that measures the time it takes for particles to pass with an accuracy of about one billionth of a second. This trigger system determines the position of particles with an accuracy of one billionth of a meter. This incredibly fast and precise response is fundamental to ensuring that the particles recorded within a continuous layer of a detector are consistent. Without these techniques, it is impossible to obtain accurate data, which will bring great difficulties to research!

For the sake of these huge data, the future technology company has also prepared an 80-qubit quantum computer and thousands of physicists, which shows that scientific research is extremely expensive, except for the future technology companies that have no place to spend money, other countries or companies may not be willing to invest even if they have the corresponding technology!

After the detector transmitted the collected data to the quantum computer, the scientists did not immediately start researching, but under the command of Zhang Wei, they conducted a second experiment and a third experiment......

Every collision generates a huge amount of data, and if it weren't for the excellent storage capacity of quantum computers, it would definitely be filled with data by now.

After countless experiments, Zhang Wei ordered the experiment to be stopped, and then he, together with many scientists, analyzed the experimental data. (To be continued.) )
