Four fundamental forces.

This is the current frontier of fundamental human physics, which believes that there are four fundamental forces in nature, and that the other forces are different manifestations of these four forces.

These four forces are: gravitational force, electromagnetic interaction force, weak interaction force, and strong interaction force.

The strong interaction force is also the strong nuclear force.

Whereas, the weak interaction force is the weak nuclear force.

Whether it is Yang Yuping, Fang Yuan, or other scientists in physics and materials science of the Academy of Military Sciences, they are all familiar with strong nuclear power.

Because Yang Yuping's strong nuclear force materials laboratory has already manufactured strong nuclear force materials.

For a long time in the past, many scientists, including Yang Yuping, believed that strong nuclear materials were invincible in war.

If there is one disadvantage of strong nuclear force materials, it is that they are too difficult to manufacture.

Yang Yuping once felt that for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, mankind would not be able to encounter weapons that could penetrate strong nuclear materials.

However, when Fang Yuan placed the broken piece of strong nuclear force armor in front of him, it shattered this thought in his heart.

If you look at it with the naked eye, the piece of strong nuclear force armor that Fang Yuan sent back is actually still very complete, and the naked eye can't tell whether it is damaged or not.

However, after being examined by scanning tunneling microscope and other equipment, it was found that the microstructure of this strong nuclear force plate was destroyed.

For the generals of the army present, there is no need to understand what a weak nuclear force is, for them the key is whether the strong nuclear force is able to penetrate the strong nuclear force material.

"Professor, do you mean that the Star Beast Civilization can emit rays containing weak nuclear force and penetrate the protective layer of strong nuclear force?" A military staff officer grasped the point and asked the most important questions of the headquarters.

Yang Yuping nodded, shook his head again, and replied: "The specific mode of action cannot be determined for the time being, because there are no more samples, and the action process of this weak nuclear force ray has not been observed.

"Therefore, I can only say that the weak nuclear force, in nature, is a force that causes radioactive elements to decay.

"To be more precise, weak nuclear forces affect radioactive decay, causing a neutron to decay into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino.

"Therefore, the weak nuclear force is theoretically possible to break the microstructure of the material with strong nuclear force, but the specific mode of action cannot be determined."

In nature, there are strong and weak nuclear forces in every nucleus of each atom.

The two forces reach equilibrium, guaranteeing a stable structure of the microscopic particles.

The same is true for materials with strong nuclear forces, which have reached the balance of forces, so the microstructure is stable, and even the explosion of a nuclear bomb cannot destroy this structure.

However, if the Star Beast civilization has a way to change the weak nuclear force, resulting in an imbalance in the forces of the microscopic particles, then the microstructure will naturally change.

The decay of radioactive elements is driven by weak nuclear forces.

The reason for the decay of radioactive elements is that because of the imbalance between the strong and weak nuclear forces inside the radioactive elements, the unstable nuclei can reach a relatively stable state after emitting particles and energy.

After listening to the old professor's explanation, although he didn't fully understand, he already knew the general theory, and asked:

"In other words, the gamma rays ejected by the fissure snake can affect the weak nuclear force of the microscopic particles of matter, resulting in the instability of the microstructure of the particles and the decay of the particles, is this what it means?"

Yang Yuping nodded and replied: "Judging from the current experimental results, this is the case. However, the specific mode of action is still uncertain.

"Therefore, the high temperature that burns your shoulder may not be the energy of gamma rays, but the energy produced by the decay of microscopic particles when the microstructure of a strong nuclear force material is destroyed."

Fang Yuan frowned, and asked again, "But the strong nuclear force material is not a radioactive material." ”

Yang Yuping then explained: "Whether a substance is radioactive or not is not determined by the substance itself. The same element, different isotopes, some are radioactive, some are not.

"The reason is that the number of protons and neutrons inside the nucleus is different, resulting in an imbalance of weak nuclear forces inside the nucleus, and it must decay and radiate energy and particles in order to reach a stable state.

"If the Star Beast Civilization really has the ability to change the size of the weak nuclear force inside the nucleus of matter, then the material that was originally not radioactive may also become radioactive material."

Fang Yuan heard the numbness in the back of his head.

The more people present, the more they knew about fundamental physics, the more they felt the horror of this discovery.

To put it more bluntly.

If the Star Beast Civilization is really able to change the weak nuclear force inside the matter.

Then you can make any matter decay, whether it is rocks, strong nuclear materials, or even elements in the human body.

Fang Yuan pondered, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Professor, what you say makes me feel that this weak nuclear force is somewhat similar to the ability of '235U'. ”

Yang Yuping nodded and replied, "That's right, there is indeed a little similarity, both are the ability to act on the nucleus."

"However, this weak nuclear force ray of the Rift Ba Snake is a little more terrifying.

"Your '235U' is currently only effective against two radioactive elements.

"However, if the Rift Snake's weak nuclear force rays are effective against the strong nuclear force armor, then it can basically be assumed that this kind of ray can cause all the matter on Earth to decay.

"It's the ability to change matter at the microscopic level.

"If you want to divide a grade, then the grade of weak nuclear force rays must be the same level as that of strong nuclear force materials. Civilization level is at least 1.9.

"It is for this reason that I mentioned in the report I submitted that I need to reassess the strength of the Star Beast Civilization."

The impact of this new discovery of weak nuclear force rays on science is enormous.

However, it is difficult to determine whether it will have a huge impact on the war.

Admiral Rhodes was calm and thought clearly: "Professor, the decisive battle between humans and the Star Beast civilization has come. This decisive battle is inevitable, so the key now is not how powerful the weak nuclear force ray really is.

"The key is, how powerful is the Star Beast Civilization, and is it possible for the human army to be attacked by a large-scale weak nuclear force beam?"

Yang Yuping immediately shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Although the science is rigorous, there is currently no data on the energy required for weak nuclear force rays.

"However, judging from the experiments of the laboratory to develop strong nuclear force materials, this weak nuclear force ray must consume a huge amount of energy."
