Chapter 213: The Big Bang of Technology

This first scientific and technological explosion in the history of the Fengshen Empire gave birth to a large number of real great scientists, all of whom had participated in Li Chunfeng's previous research on conquering the Great Unification Theory.

For example, Professor Justin, who used to be the Chosen One, developed an interstellar gravity missile on the basis of his gravity cannon research. For example, Dr. Watson, a famous scholar of quantum mechanics, developed a quantum ripple cannon on the basis of the quantum space thunder of the Divine Eye Empire.

The most representative of them is a physicist named Zhong Han, aged 36, who used to be a researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Zhong Han proposed a material disintegration ray weapon based on the grand unification theory, which emits a ray that can weaken the strong force between the quarks at the bottom of the matter, and at the same time enhance the electromagnetic force, so that the quarks will suddenly disperse.

This kind of ray was discovered by Zhong Han in his research on elemental decay, which means that this kind of ray can accelerate the decay period of an element.

For example, the weapon-grade plutonium-239 is bombarded with this ray, which has a half-life of 24,000 years, but after a few seconds of being irradiated by the disintegration rays of the substance, it decays into uranium-235. After continuous irradiation, it will further decay into thorium-231.

However, when this ray is made into a weapon-grade disintegration ray cannon, the matter will completely disintegrate into elementary particles after being irradiated by this ray.

In the face of the attack of this weapon, even a level 5 civilization can instantly destroy its warship if its energy shield is consumed by the attack.

Li Chunfeng did not stop at this level, but further guided Zhong Han to study elemental decay.

Atoms are made up of nuclei and electrons, and nuclei are made up of neutrons and protons, protons and neutrons are both hadrons, and hadrons are made up of quarks.

Hadrons are particles that are affected by strong interaction forces.

Among the four fundamental forces, the strong force is the strongest, followed by the electromagnetic force. The electromagnetic force is the repulsive force, which prevents the particles from joining each other, and the strong interaction force, which is the force of attraction, which pushes the particles together.

In the struggle between the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic force, the particle gains equilibrium and stabilizes its existence.

The disintegration ray of matter instantly opens up the quarks, and if the strong force can be strengthened again at this time and the electromagnetic force can be weakened, then the scattered quarks will violently collide together.

At this point, the quarks recombine into protons and neutrons, and then into nuclei, which in turn capture free electrons and re-form atoms.

This impact process is equivalent to the recombination of matter at the quark level, and the mass of the atoms of the initial matter in this process must be lost in the process of impacting and reassembling new atoms, and the lost mass will be transformed into a huge amount of energy.

For example, after the decay of the elements, the iron element will change from iron to hydrogen, this process is extremely long on the time scale of the original earth, but now that Zhong Han has developed the material disintegration ray, Li Chunfeng can make the iron decay into hydrogen through this ray, and this process will be short and controllable.

As a result, when iron decays into hydrogen, mass is lost, and the huge amount of energy produced is a greater source of energy than nuclear fusion energy.

Li Chunfeng estimated that this energy is more than ten times the energy of nuclear fusion, and the most beautiful thing about this process similar to the decay of elements is that no matter what matter will eventually decay into hydrogen atoms.

After the hydrogen atoms are collected, they can carry out the hydrogen fusion reaction.

In this way, any matter can be converted into energy, so in the interstellar voyage, if you are in the void without a star system, the energy is exhausted, and hydrogen energy cannot be obtained, the matter in the spacecraft can be dismantled and converted into energy, so as to keep the voyage continuous.

Moreover, ships and battleships of the same volume, if they are loaded with heavy elements, then they will definitely have a greater mass than the same volume of metallic hydrogen.

This means that with the same volume, the warship can obtain more mass of material, thus ensuring a longer sailing distance in the future.

Li Chunfeng used this principle to design a composite energy reactor, which has two layers, the first layer is to decay various substances to obtain huge decay energy.

The decayed material hydrogen element will be collected, enter the second layer, carry out hydrogen fusion reaction, and obtain nuclear fusion energy again, the product is helium, and this product can be recycled into the first layer for decay reaction.

In this way, the cycle is carried out until all the initial added material mass is converted into energy, so that a huge amount of energy can be accumulated again and again, which can provide a huge energy guarantee for another research by Li Chunfeng.

However, the core part of the whole design needs to be further studied and refined, for example, how to control the re-enhancement of the strong force and the weakening of the electromagnetic force when the matter disintegrates and opens into a quark state? And what kind of impact should be reached to reaggregate quarks? These studies are very detailed and require constant experimentation.

So, Li Chunfeng gave this work to Zhong Han to study, and he devoted himself to another exciting research.

The reason why it was carried out simultaneously with Zhong Han was to ensure that when his research was successful, Zhong Han could also complete the corresponding parts.

Li Chunfeng's research is the superluminal navigation of warships.

Because of the existence of the theory of relativity, in the regular universe, there is one maximum limit to the speed of objects, and that is the speed of light.

If you can only travel at the speed of light, the universe seems too big, and the Milky Way alone is 160,000 light-years in diameter, which is a desperate number.

Therefore, the speed of light must not be the maximum speed, and the speed of light exists.

In Earth Age, some experiments conducted in 2007 seem to have tested light pulses exceeding the speed of light, although there is some controversy surrounding these experiments.

Later, in two "quantum entanglement" experiments in 2007 and 2008, it was shown that information travels faster than the speed of light, at least more than 10,000 times. But what this proves is that space is jumpable.

Obviously, if you want to achieve faster-than-light speed, you need to have a certain understanding of space. Although the fourth-level civilization has not yet been able to establish a complete spatial theory, it has already sprouted.

In the Grand Unified Theory, there is an explanation for the curvature of space, and this explanation explains the way to achieve the speed of light.

It is possible to bend space through gravity, and usually to bend a small space requires a huge amount of matter, such as a neutron star or a white dwarf, but this kind of material is not only hard to find, but also difficult to control effectively.

But with the grand unified theory, gravity can be obtained through energy conversion, so that a controllable gravitational force can be obtained through energy, so as to bend space.

Now Li Chunfeng's research is to use a force field generator of his own manufacture to conduct some kind of bending test on space.

When the energy provided by the dedicated nuclear fusion reactor is continuously injected into the force field generator, the energy is converted into gravity and continuously increases.

The strength of this gravitational pull soon reaches that of neutron star matter, which can deform space at great close range.

Li Chunfeng saw the curvature of space through the subtle observation equipment, and this bending was in all directions around it.

The theory of curvature navigation is to form space into a bubble-like shape, where space is constantly bending and changing, and its speed can exceed the speed of light, and the spacecraft in this bubble shape is relatively immobile.

For example, when space is not bent and it is a flat surface (curvature is 0), the speed of a boat sailing on it will not accelerate, and if space suddenly bends, it is equivalent to a waterfall that suddenly descends 90 degrees in front of it (at this point the curvature is considered infinite), and the boat suddenly gains a very large speed.

Curvature navigation is to continuously bend the space in front of the spacecraft through the force field generator, so that the spacecraft continues to accelerate, and this acceleration is relative to the bubble.

In this way, in everyday space, you will see a phenomenon where the spacecraft suddenly disappears for a certain distance, until the force field generator no longer bends the space, and then it will reappear.

When Li Chunfeng found that he had arranged a small spaceship model during the experiment, it moved a distance of ten centimeters instantly, and then reappeared again because the force field generator stopped gravitational increase and no longer bent space.

This phenomenon made Li Chunfeng excited, this is faster-than-light flight!

At that 10 centimeters distance just now, under conventional calculations, the speed of disappearance has exceeded the speed of light by 1.5 times, what an amazing scene.

Li Chunfeng excitedly conducted the test again, giving the force field generator more energy, this time the small spaceship model flew ten meters away, and broke through a screen not far away.

Immediately, Li Chunfeng found that the shape of the hole on the screen was not the cross-sectional shape of a small spaceship, and Li Chunfeng became excited because of this, because this reflected that the force field generator had bent the space.

Therefore, when the small spaceship hole is passed through, the hole will be different from the cross-sectional shape due to the curved space returning to normal.

At this point, Li Chunfeng has basically determined the principle and realization method of curvature flight, and it seems that he will carry out some modifications and designs for the existing spacecraft and add new devices.

For example, the force field generator of curved space, which will require a ring device to be designed on the periphery of the battleship to guide the gravitational force generated by the force field generator, so that the space in front of the battleship can achieve a certain curvature.

Then the battleship flew at a certain speed, thus reaching the way of curvature flight.

Of course, due to the huge amount of energy required for the curved space, it is necessary to modify the energy and engines of the battleship to achieve a stable state of energy output.

Otherwise, the energy will be high and low, the gravitational force will be large and small, and the spacecraft will not fly with curvature for a while, and then fly out of curvature again?

In addition, if nuclear fusion is used as fuel, the sustainability of energy will also be a problem, and with the largest kamikaze-class warship at present, the metal hydrogen fuel is only enough to travel at the speed of light for 50 light-years.

This is the composite energy reactor designed by Li Chunfeng before, in which the detailed control of the element decay part was handed over to Zhong Han for research.

Originally, the research was to be carried out in the large particle collider around the South River, but the equipment has recently been dismantled and shipped to a special transport ship.

Fortunately, Zhong Han has conducted as many as 3,248 collision experiments in his previous research, and the data of each experiment has been recorded in detail through Zhi Brain.

Zhong Han's material disintegration ray was also studied in this process, and although this experiment cannot be continued, the previous 3248 experimental data is enough for Zhong Han to study the control method.

What's more, with these experimental data, it is completely possible to simulate and repeat in the virtual world, and build models based on them for parametric calculation and derivation.

This matter can be carried out in the virtual world, and due to the time difference between the virtual world and the real world, it saves Zhong Han a lot of time, so as to successfully complete the task assigned by Li Chunfeng in a relatively short time.

In view of the outstanding performance of Zhong Han and others, Li Chunfeng specially held an award ceremony and awarded Zhong Han, Justin, and Watson the title of "Imperial Great Scientist".

The research and development of these practical technologies was finally completed in the time when the crisis was approaching. ()
