The aero engine was successfully developed, and Zhang Zhi was very happy to see them, and he found that it was already 12:00 noon. It's time to eat.

He and Ye Yuan said: "Ye Gong, your project is successful now. You don't have to keep an eye on it at any time, let's go to the cafeteria to eat. ”

Zhang Zhi, Yan Jiliang, Ye Yuan, and Xiao Wenhuai walked together, located in the large canteen in the northeast corner of the first floor of the factory.

They enter a cubicle, and after each person orders their favorite dish, the waiter begins to serve the food.

The standards of Xingyu Technology's canteens are the same, and their dishes are very rich.

When Zhang Zhi and they were having dinner, Yan Jiliang mentioned that the experiment of the three-way particle collider would start in the afternoon.

Zhang Zhi took a bite of the dish, and he swallowed it and tasted it. The skills of the canteen chef are not as good as Li Lingqiu's, but they also have a unique flavor.

He looked at Ye Yuan and Xiao Wenhuai opposite, and said with a smile: "Manager Xiao, Ye Gong." There are many other uses for ionization engines, and we need to tap into their potential. ”

Xiao Wenhuai and Ye Yuan nodded in agreement, they also felt that the ionization engine still had a lot of potential, and this should be a primary application.

After they finished the meal happily, Zhang Zhi and Yan Jiliang went to the experimental site of the three-way particle collider.

Xiao Wenhuai returned to Yufei Company to arrange the production line of the flying car.

Ye Yuan continued to test the situation of aero engines, and he wanted to collect various data of aero engines to accumulate experience for designing better aero engines in the future.

Zhang Zhi and Yan Jiliang came to a very large room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a 50-meter-diameter and 10-meter-high one. Like a mosquito coil being stretched, it is a three-dimensional coil with three pipes.

Zhang Zhi estimated that the total length of the pipeline was thousands of meters.

In front of it is a large cylinder with a diameter of 2 meters. Behind it is a large round ball with a diameter of five meters.

It has three pipes connected to the cylinder and the ball.

He recognized at a glance that this was the three-way particle collider he had designed, an equally scaled down model of its parts.

Its parts are scaled down in different proportions, and this disk-like device is an accelerator for the gyratory acceleration of particles.

It is a cyclotron composed of multiple accelerators of different magnetic field strengths.

The cylinder in front is the elemental exciter, and only charged particles can be accelerated in an electromagnetic field.

For example, to accelerate the oxygen atom, it can only remove its external electrons and make its nucleus positively charged.

This elemental exciter turns an electrically neutral atom from its outer nucleus and excites the nucleus at high speed.

The spherical device is the Elemental Condenser, and this device is the place where the collision takes place, creating new elements.

When the three nuclei are accelerated to sub-light speeds, their particles gain a high level of energy.

Under certain conditions, a triple fusion occurs. Generate a new element.

This new element has only a nucleus, and it compensates for extranuclear electrons in the device of the elemental condenser. That's a whole new element.

Zhang Zhi saw that this three-way particle collider had been built. He was full of emotion, this is the foundation of the company's future life.

No one knows the unknown element, what function it has.

Zhang Zhi asked Yan Jiliang, "Manager Yan, can this three-way particle collider be used now?"

Yan Jiliang said confidently: "This is our product that is scaled down according to the same scale model.

It has a short acceleration channel and uses a super-strong magnetic field. Accelerates the velocity of the particles inside it.

In this way, its lifespan is shortened, and it barely reaches the speed of three particle fusions.

That's it, our miniature collider. It's not as designed to be for bunches of particles to start colliding.

Only three particles collide with each other, and this is a rudimentary verification machine. ”

Zhang Zhi was not surprised to hear this result.

This miniature device, he just verifies whether the three-way particle collider can succeed. Whether the Chung element really exists.

Only when it is verified correctly can the country make up its mind to invest in this costly project.

Zhang Zhi said to Yan Jiliang, "Are you ready? Can we start the experiment?"

Yan Jiliang nodded and said, "We are ready to start at any time." ”

Zhang Zhi said happily: "Since we can start, let's experiment." We're not going to waste time. ”

Hearing Zhang Zhi's order, Yan Jiliang ordered the employees to prepare to start the experiment.

After a period of meticulous manipulation, they began to activate the three-way particle collider.

Yan Jiliang saw that the equipment had been started and was about to start working, so he immediately ordered: "All personnel exit this room and start the first-level security protection preparations." ”

The employees in the room began to quit one after another, and the equipment was controlled by artificial intelligence. Only the robot is left operating.

Zhang Zhi and Yan Jiliang were the last to exit, and he saw that the roof and walls of this room were blocked by metal plates about two meters thick.

After Zhang Zhi and Yan Jiliang withdrew, he said in surprise: "It's not like this! This is a physics experiment." How like some dangerous experiment. ”

Yan Jiliang said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhang, we also have to do it as a last resort, there are high-speed particles in it." The energy is extremely high, and if it hits a person.

No matter how advanced our medicine is, it cannot save people who die instantly. It's so powerful that even a concrete wall can't resist it. ”

After the room was completely sealed, they went to the main control room of the Three-Way Particle Collider.

From the main control room, Zhang Zhi could clearly see the situation in the room, and he could also see the situation in the three-way particle collider.

Zhang Zhi saw the scientist controlling the three-way particle collider, and he said calmly: "Let's start, it's time for us to witness the emergence of new elements." ”

Hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the scientists in the control room began to press the start button. The Three-Way Particle Collider starts up.

A self-test of the device appears on the light curtain.

In the self-test of the equipment, the elemental exciter is normal, the cyclotron is normal, and the elemental condenser is normal.

All the equipment is normal, the experiment is officially started, please stay away from this equipment.

The elemental exciter is activated, and the three atoms of zinc, mercury, and lead have been stripped of electrons outside the nucleus.

Zhang Zhi saw that the screen showed that three kinds of atomic nuclei had entered the cyclotron.

They have been accelerated step by step and have reached sub-light speeds.

This velocity can be said to have mass in the macroscopic state. The highest speed they can reach.

They reach breakneck speeds. At different angles, three nuclei hit each other at the same time.

This is a miniature version that can only collide one group at a time.

But this device can release a set of atomic nuclei every 50 milliseconds.

On-screen AI keeps prompting.

"The collision was unsuccessful. Not enough speed. ”

"The collision was unsuccessful. The angle is inaccurate. ”

"The collision was unsuccessful. Particles are missing. ”

……

"The collision was successful, the fusion failed. ”

"The collision is successful, the fusion nucleus is successful, and the non-target particle. ”

……

"The collision was successful, the fusion core was successful, and the Zhong element was successfully manufactured. ”

Zhang knew that they were extremely happy, and this was a big event that was enough to go down in history.

The physics community will always remember this day, November 22, 2018. Here it is successfully synthesized and stable in existence, without radioactive artificial elements.

Before Zhang Zhixing could finish, the monitor saw an explosion of the elemental condenser, and its fragments shot out in all directions.
