Chapter 585: White Dwarf Battleship

The location of the high-energy particle physics experiment is not on Earth, but in space.

There is one of humanity's largest particle colliders, which is located in the orbit of the original Mercury, orbiting the sun, with a staggering circumference of 350 million kilometers, and its huge energy every time it is activated will cause violent changes in gravity and electromagnetism in space.

This is the largest single creation of human beings except for the Dyson sphere, and it is also the holy place in the field of physics.

The Particle Collider is home to tens of thousands of laboratories and hundreds of thousands of affiliated experimental factories, with more than 10 million humans living in it, forming a huge space city.

…………

At this time, the high-energy particle physics laboratory.

A piece of material the size of a fingernail is lying quietly in an explosion-proof and radiation-proof isolation room.

But it's just such a small substance, and the mass is five tons

Even the most advanced optical equipment cannot see its own color, it emits high-intensity radiation throughout, and the entire isolation room is full of brilliance, aurora lights fly, and the interference is extremely serious.

After Luo Shengwei understood the great significance of this breakthrough to mankind, he immediately postponed all his trips, took a special spaceship, and hurried to this laboratory.

"By delivering high energy to the atom, the energy obtained by the electrons becomes discrete, and then the electron cloud in the atom is blown away to obtain a bare nucleus." A person in charge of the laboratory introduced Luo Shengwei dryly, but his tone was quite excited. "On this basis, we strengthened the strong interaction between the nuclei of the atoms, and finally got this incredible substance, which has the same morphology as the theoretical white dwarf."

This is not only a huge breakthrough, but also an important verification of the unified field theory.

All physical phenomena in the universe can be explained by four fundamental forces: gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak interactions.

The first two are long-range forces, the latter two are short-range forces, and physicists have been diligently pursuing an attempt to unify all things in nature, and they are like the holy grail of physics, the supreme throne, and the ultimate answer.

However, the limitations of cognitive and observational methods have kept this theory in a state of controversy and fog.

Until a hundred years ago, as various disciplines began to develop rapidly, science and technology exploded.

The more advanced experimental instruments and the more nuanced means of observation made this theory dawn, and even so, it took decades for the relatively perfect unified field theory to really appear.

Unified field theory, also known as unified string theory.

Matter is subdivided to the end, there is the lowest string composition, it is a kind of probability wave, following the quantum theory, looming, from time to time shuttling in the four dimensions, whether it is electromagnetic force, gravity or strong interaction force and weak interaction force within the atom, all from the various manifestations of these strings, all the forces are one and two sides, harmonious unity.

However, a theory is a theory in the end, and no matter how rigorous and seamless the logic is, as long as it is not verified for a day, it is only a hypothesis, not a truth.

It can be said that the significance of this verification is no less than that of the theory, and even further improves the theory.

"We had been experimenting with it destructively before you came, but it didn't seem to be able to break because it wasn't well prepared and didn't reach its ceiling until now."

Luo Shengwei was faintly excited in his heart, looked at it for a while, and saw that it had been radiating strong pulses, and suddenly keenly discovered a problem:

"This white dwarf material seems to have been in a state of exergation, how long will it be stable?"

"You're right, it really can't be stable for a long time, after all, the energy is balanced, it is impossible to release energy endlessly, its form is incompatible with the environment here, it is like a foreign body in this universe, instinctively wants to destroy it, according to calculations, it can only exist for about twelve hours, once the strong interaction force weakens to a certain extent, it will completely disintegrate, but the isolation chamber is a high-strength critical metal, very safe, even if a 100,000 yield nuclear bomb is detonated inside, it cannot be destroyed."

"Since white dwarf matter can be made, there should be a way to maintain long-term stability!" Luo Shengwei immediately asked, now that the human situation is tense and the clouds of war are thick, if this material can make warships, the balance of power will be completely rewritten.

"Of course there is, but it needs to deliver a huge amount of energy all the time!" The person in charge of the laboratory said with some hesitation.

Luo Shengwei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How big?" ”

"The average daily energy is consumed, a hundred times the mass of antimatter!"

Luo Shengwei quickly calculated, and almost didn't come up in one breath, according to this calculation, just this white dwarf star material the size of a fingernail needs a thousand tons of antimatter to maintain light every day.

How much antimatter does humanity produce per year?

There are barely 100 million tons, and if all of them are used to maintain white dwarf material, it will only maintain 100 billion tons, and 100 billion tons may seem like a lot, but in terms of the ultra-high density of white dwarf material, it is actually only 10 million cubic meters.

Even if the surface is only coated with a one-millimeter-thick film of white dwarf material, it can only be coated with 10 billion square meters at most.

What can 10 billion square do?

Human beings currently have a standard curvature warship, its surface area reaches 3.5 billion square meters, and human beings can only barely raise three when they exhaust all their energy, which is still just maintained, not to mention manufacturing, although the other party did not talk about it, but thinking about energy will only be more terrifying.

To build or not to build?

Luo Shengwei just thought about it for a while, and then gritted his teeth and made up his mind!

Must be built! Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, donate sperm and sell blood, you have to make it!

It's a decisive and absolute force, the white dwarf is dense, the nuclei are completely squeezed together, and the hard, critical metal is like a crunchy cookie compared to it, and it can't be damaged in the slightest bit inside the star.

Even if such a white dwarf material film is plated on a battleship, it is indestructible, except for antimatter, with the current strength of human beings, it is simply impossible to destroy it.

……

Half a month later, through technical verification, a shipbuilding program codenamed "Pangu" was officially established, and construction soon began, in fact, except for the white dwarf material that could not be industrially produced, it will take time, and most of the technology is ready-made technology, including the most important curvature engine.

Although it is expected to weigh hundreds of times the weight of a regular curvature ship, close to a planetary fortress, and only two-thirds its physique, the curvature engine does not need to change much.

Unlike conventional flight, the magnitude of mass does not affect the speed of curvature flight, it is only related to the size of material space, even if the mass is hundreds of times or thousands of times larger, it does not affect the curvature speed at all.
