Section 13 Mass and energy
In the big tent, the girl ignored the discussion between Chen Zheng and the man with glasses, and went straight to the nearly one-person-high zero-energy furnace in the middle of the tent.
"Zero crystalline powder."
The girl's voice interrupted the conversation between Chen Zheng and the man with glasses.
"Here we are." Chen Zheng patted the man with glasses on the shoulder, "We'll talk later......"
Chen Zheng slowly came to the girl's side and gently placed the wooden box he was carrying in front of the girl.
The zero crystals in the wooden box are all cut out of the tentacle monster's body, and the size of the tentacle monster is so big, so the number of zero crystals is not much, and together it is about twenty orange-sized spheres, a total of less than 20 kilograms.
It took Chen Zheng an afternoon to grind them all into powder, but fortunately, the sharpness of the lightsaber made it not take much effort, but the meticulousness required by the girl was relatively high, so he grinded back and forth a few more times.
The girl opened the box and put it next to the zero-energy furnace, squatted on the side of the cylindrical zero-energy furnace and turned over a baffle, and under the baffle was a hole just big enough to reach into it.
I saw that the girl reached in and twisted slightly, and the zero-energy furnace was flooded with blue light, and a palm-sized gap suddenly cracked in the two-thirds high, and the light in the gap was very dazzling, as if there was a sun hidden in it.
Underneath the gap, the zero-crystal powder in the wooden box seemed to be invisibly attracted, first slowly floating, and soon pouring into the gap where the sun was hidden like a dragon absorbing water.
When the last bit of zero crystal powder was also sucked away, the blue light flashed and gradually dimmed, and the gap on the zero energy furnace gradually closed again.
When the dazzling light finally disappeared, Chen Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, just now he had been worried about the direct explosion of the zero-energy furnace.
"In the Zero-Energy Furnace...... Is it controlled nuclear fusion? Chen Zheng asked.
"Nuclear fusion? What is that? The girl and the man with glasses were stunned.
"Huh? You don't know? Or is there a mistake in the translator's translation? Chen Zheng looked at people suspiciously, in his opinion, alien technology should be so high that the earth is so high that he doesn't know where, and the controlled nuclear fusion should have been solved a long time ago, right?
Thinking like this, Chen Zheng gave the two of them a brief explanation.
“…… Atoms combine to form another substance? ”
“…… An artificial sun? ”
With Chen Zheng's explanation, the two gradually understood the principle of nuclear fusion, but the conclusions reached by Chen Zheng were unbelievable.
"How can one substance become another? That's impossible! It was the man with glasses who said this.
"How could Homo sapiens make the sun!? If the sun appears on the ground, then everyone will be charred! The girl couldn't accept the artificial sun at all.
Fortunately, as the adopted son of a physicist, Chen Zheng's physics is not bad, and Chen Zheng still clearly remembers the derivation process of Einstein's famous mass-energy formula.
Then, Chen Zheng picked up the charcoal pen and wrote the first letter and the first symbol on the wooden board next to it:
“E=∫fdx……
……=(m-m0)c^2=m0c^2
Both: E=mc^2
Energy is equal to mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. ”
“……”
The girl, the man with glasses, and the others watched in silence as the letters and symbols on the board became more and more complex, and finally extremely concise.
The emotions in their eyes ranged from disdain at first to contemplative to shocked at the end.
"Matter is energy...... Matter and energy? No, it shouldn't, it can't be...... Something must have gone wrong. The man in glasses held his head and stared at the line of simple and beautiful formulas on the board.
"The total energy of the luminaire...... Weight lost after glowing...... The energy obtained......" The man with glasses muttered to himself as if in an evil state, and the whole person was completely trapped in a closed state and could not extricate himself.
Four of his men were no better, and some even began to crack the data on the instruments to calculate it.
On the contrary, the girl, who didn't know much about this aspect, couldn't see how great that formula was, so she just curiously tugged at Chen Zheng's clothes and asked, "You said that matter is energy?" That...... Why can't I fly when I breathe? Enough of a breath of material to fly into the sky, right? ”
"......" Chen Zheng helped her forehead, and had to explain the special theory of relativity to her completely.
“…… Of course, there are still many unsolved mysteries in this, and the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity have not yet been unified......" Chen Zheng hesitated, but still did not tell the quantum direction, otherwise he would not be able to explain it clearly-
-- The quantum theory itself is still being perfected, and in some respects there are even cases of "conjecture versus" and "invention" to fill in the loopholes.
Although quantum theory has become the most popular research object on earth, and even has shocking results, the girl is even skeptical of the general and special relativity theories in classical physics, and it is even more difficult to explain such an abstract quantum concept to her.
“…… The perfect formula...... There are no loopholes......"
After repeating the process of Chen Zheng's deduction countless times, the man with glasses finally came up with an answer that he couldn't believe in frustration.
"Matter is energy? Energy is both matter? So what am I...... What is life......" The man with glasses looked at his hands stunned, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Zero energy! Right!! That's right...... Everything is zero-energy! Zero energy is both for everything! That's it! It should be right......" The man with glasses didn't know what he thought, and the whole person became excited.
"Zero energy is the essence of the world! Zero crystal is the cornerstone of matter! I see, I see, I see......"
"Smack." Chen Zheng finally couldn't stand his noise anymore and slapped him viciously.
"Your Excellency!?" The man with glasses was stunned, and straightened his crooked glasses with a puzzled face.
"Now, tell me about copper capacity." Chen Zheng didn't have a good airway.
"Copper? Oh...... Yes, there is not enough copper capacity. The man with glasses thought about it for a long time before he remembered about copper.
"Didn't I tell you the coordinates of that canyon? How? Didn't collect enough ore? Chen Zheng frowned, yesterday he explained that he was going to collect copper ore, and he had to collect more.
The copper-filled canyon isn't far away, and it's even closer by snowmobile. If the glasses man can't even handle this thing, Chen Zhengke will have to really think about whether to keep them.
"Of course, we have collected a lot of copper ore, and the ore there is like fruit from a tree, just pick it......" said the man in glasses, opening the back door of the tent and pointing to the mountains of copper ore.
"But my lord, our campervan's smelting capacity is limited, and we can refine at most the amount of one guide rail in one day and one night, and if we do more, we will be powerless...... We have at least 50 to 100 ...... according to your plan"
