Chapter 142: π neutrinos
The food crisis in Asia is getting worse, but Huang Mingzhe is not paying attention to this aspect of the matter anymore, and the matter is now handled by the Netherworld.
After bidding farewell to Wen Na, Huang Mingzhe went through a secret route to the depths of the Qinling Mountains in Hanzhong City.
Five Dongfeng warriors escorted the minibus deep into the Qinling Mountains, passing through a township road that was not on the map, and the convoy shuttled through the mountains and forests.
During the Qingming Dynasty, it rained a lot, the Qinling Mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and the convoy came to the foot of the mountain after passing through two checkpoints.
Through a hidden tunnel, Huang Mingzhe came to an underground base, where Zhang Shihe escorted him off the minibus.
The underground base looks very old, but the whole is very well preserved, and the space is very empty, in the style of the sixties and seventies of the last century.
A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face with the rank of colonel saluted Huang Mingzhe and said, "Hello Academician Huang, I am Ye Qi, the base chief of the Qinling Nuclear Defense Base. ”
"Hello, Colonel Ye." Huang Mingzhe said with a smile.
Ye Qi took Huang Mingzhe and others to introduce this base while walking, this base is indeed an underground anti-nuclear base built in the sixties and seventies of the last century, and it is also one of the few high-level doomsday bases in China.
It was built primarily to defend against a nuclear attack by Chi Lucia, but it was later expanded and renovated several times to become a comprehensive underground nuclear protection base that is still in use today, codenamed Base 006.
After staying in the dormitory of the underground base.
Ye Qi took Huang Mingzhe and others to take the underground tram to another underground base five kilometers away, which was one of the affiliated bases of Base 006.
Ten minutes later, the quiet tram reached the attached base.
The annex is much more modern than Base 006, with gray-silver alloy walls, cool white lighting, and a large number of cameras.
There are many people working in the base, and some of them have worked in the previous Dayi base, and they are still familiar with Huang Mingzhe.
"Chief Engineer Huang, long time no see." Zhang Tingyu from the High Energy Institute came over with a document.
"Deputy Zhang, how is the situation now?" Huang Mingzhe took the document and flipped through it.
Zhang Tingyu replied: "The construction of our tail field accelerator here has been completed, and now the energy level is 8000 TeV in one direction, and the experimental equipment has also been prepared. ”
"That's good."
Zhang Tingyu hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Chief Engineer Huang, you can also do experiments over there at the Dayi base, why ......?"
Huang Mingzhe observed the main body of the tail field accelerator and replied: "It's not convenient for Dayi, my research involves some military fields, and it is more convenient to build a separate one, and it is also conducive to secrecy." ”
Military? What else can high-energy physics have for military purposes besides nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Zhang Tingyu was puzzled.
Huang Mingzhe did not explain anything, but directly arranged the experiment.
On the tail accelerator, one by one the researchers took action, they checked the equipment, and prepared all the facilities for the experiment.
Huang Mingzhe clasped his hands to his chest and quietly looked at the accelerator in front of him, his brain was running rapidly.
An hour later.
"Chief Engineer Huang, the accelerator has been debugged and can be experimented." Zhang Tingyu reminded.
Huang Mingzhe calmly ordered: "The energy level of the lasers on both sides is adjusted to 3412.7TeV, and the particles are carbon atoms. ”
"Okay." Although Zhang Tingyu didn't understand the significance of this data, he didn't dare to question Huang Mingzhe and immediately arranged it.
After a while, the energy level of the lasers on both sides was adjusted to 3412.7TeV, and then two carbon ion beams, with the blessing of super high-energy lasers, frantically jumped one step after another.
The last two laser ion beams collided violently in the collision chamber.
The surrounding instruments sounded wildly, and countless data appeared on the computer, and the researchers nervously checked the data.
Zhang Tingyu looked at the big screen on one side, he couldn't help but wipe his eyes, how could it be! Neutrino detectors detect tens of thousands of π neutrinos (Tao neutrinos).
And Huang Mingzhe seems to have expected it, and he is not surprised by this result.
"Proceed to the next collision experiment."
"Uh...... Good. Zhang Tingyu, who reacted, once again arranged a collision experiment.
Within three hours, the accelerator conducted six consecutive carbon-ion collision experiments, and the results were identical.
With the blessing of high-energy lasers, each collision of carbon ions will produce a huge number of π neutrinos, which is thousands or even tens of thousands of times higher than the number of neutrinos produced during nuclear reactor reactions.
Huang Mingzhe carefully looked at the experimental report, especially about the situation of π neutrinos, this method of generating neutrinos in large quantities is the result of his very precise calculation and derivation.
"Deputy Zhang, where is the equipment I shipped from Lingnan before?"
"Is Chief Engineer Huang talking about that neutrino reflector?"
Huang Mingzhe nodded.
"Inside the warehouse."
"Go and take it out, I'll be useful tomorrow." Huang Mingzhe commanded.
"No problem."
Zhang Tingyu hurriedly went to arrange.
The researchers in the laboratory were still busy, Huang Mingzhe pinched his chin and thought for a while, then picked up the internal phone on the side.
"Hey, I'm Ye Qi."
"Colonel Ye, what I asked you to prepare before, have you prepared?" Huang Mingzhe asked directly.
"Academician Huang, we are ready, the things are in the warehouse on the side of Base 006, do you need to use them?"
"Very good, I need to experiment the day after tomorrow, you can arrange those experiments to come!"
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, he studied the information about the π neutrinos.
Neutrinos are an elusive elementary particle that comes in three types, namely electron neutrinos, μ neutrinos, and τ neutrinos, which correspond to their corresponding leptons: electrons, μ sons, and τ tons.
All neutrinos are uncharged and do not participate in electromagnetic and strong interactions, but in weak and gravitational interactions.
They have a very small mass and are not charged. The sun, cosmic rays, nuclear power plants, accelerators, etc., can produce large numbers of neutrinos.
The carbon ions calculated by Huang Mingzhe collide at 3412.7TeV and can burst out an astonishing number of π neutrinos in an instant.
In his theoretical model, two carbon ions collide in the range of energy levels of 3412.7 TeV, which can produce π neutrinos equivalent to about 17,000 times that of nuclear fusion or nuclear fission.
Human beings do not have a deep understanding of neutrinos, mainly because neutrinos are very difficult to detect, and Huang Mingzhe once again conducted experiments in this secret base to verify a conjecture.
Now the first step in this conjecture, about how to produce π neutrinos in large quantities, has been proven correct by the tail field accelerator.
The next step is the most critical step, and the key step of this theory, if Huang Mingzhe's theory is proved in tomorrow's experiments, then this discovery is no less than the realization of controlled nuclear fusion technology.
Inside the warehouse.
Zhang Tingyu led people to carefully carry the neutrino reflection device that had been consigned from Lingnan from the warehouse.
The equipment was kept in a thick box and transported to the tail field accelerator, and Zhang Tingyu hurriedly installed the device inside the collision chamber.
Obviously, this device is designed specifically for the collision chamber and is very easy to install inside the collision chamber of the tail field accelerator.
Everything is waiting for tomorrow's experiment.
