Chapter 15: The Fourth and Fifth States
Although many of the equipment and power supplies in the laboratory had been burned by the aftermath of the energy rays, the energy shield still enclosed the main console and backup power supply, so it would not affect Shen Yiran's further experiments in the future.
With Shen Yiran's order, the light on the body of the heat beam gun suddenly flourished, and the energy wave released became more intense and crazy.
The intense temperature has changed the molecular sphere from a solid state to a gaseous ball, and many subtle black lightning bolts can be seen "jumping" inside the gaseous ball.
The outer electrons of the atom begin to break free from the nucleus and become free electrons, and the atoms that have lost their electrons become positively charged ions, thus transforming into a new form.
"Dean, the ionization phase has been completed, and the final test is about to begin!" A researcher is standing in front of a console and observing the real-time action on the screen.
Hearing this, Shen Yiran walked quickly to the console next to him.
Shen Yiran looked at the data on the console, his eyes were slightly condensed, and the values on the screen panel showed 100% words.
Shen Yiran suddenly danced with his hands and feet in a nervous disorder for some reason, and laughed up to the sky in that old voice, the tiredness of long-term work and the many problems eroded by the years seemed to disappear at this moment.
"Aha, completely ionized! The Ion in its perfect form has finally succeeded! It's going to shock the world!"
Shen Yiran felt that all the preparations he had made before were worth it, and countless failures and setbacks had finally come to an end at this moment, and he had paid a lot of sweat in order to wait for this day to come.
Shen Xiaolu walked to Shen Yiran's side and hugged him gently, he could understand the reason why his grandfather slept late at night every day, and he could also understand that his grandfather's efforts to read the information all day long were all for this day!
And Wu Yuchen stood aside and looked at the grandparents and grandchildren who hugged each other, he felt the smell of grains at this time, although his mother was still alive, but the death of his father was still too big a blow to him.
Seeing this scene now, how can he not touch the deep knot in his heart?
But after all, it is already in the past, and Wu Yuchen also understands that he can't always be in a dark corner, and he always has to come out and face it.
Wu Yuchen shook his head, trying to get rid of all those distracting thoughts, but after trying a few times, he found that it had no effect, so he planned to use his hobbies to divert this annoying distraction.
Wu Yuchen coughed first in order to attract the attention of their grandfather and grandson, but the noise of the heat wave hitting the shield was too loud, and coupled with the fact that Shen Xiaolu and his grandson were immersed in joy, this trick didn't seem to work.
Wu Yuchen was embarrassed now, he was really embarrassed to disturb the mutual snuggling of his grandfather and grandson at this moment, but in addition to distracting thoughts, there was always a question in his mind that prompted him to ask.
No way! can only be strong!
"Uh...... That one..... Can I ask a question? Wu Yuchen scratched the back of his head and walked in front of his grandfather and grandson.
"Huh? What do you say? Shen Xiaolu turned his head to see that the old friend's lips were moving, but no sound came out, expressing a puzzled expression.
Wu Yuchen knew that this was because the surroundings were too noisy, so he deliberately raised the volume and said, "I mean, I want to ask, what does Grandpa mean by ion?"
Before Shen Yiran could answer, the scientific researchers standing beside Shen Yiran heard Wu Yuchen's question and answered for Shen Yiran: "Ion, also known as plasma, refers to the coexistence of negatively charged free electrons and positively charged ions when the electrons in the atoms of matter are separated from the attraction of the nucleus at high temperatures. But what surprised me the most was that the total number of positive and negative charges after ionization of this number of atoms was still equal. ”
"Ugh....... Still don't understand. Wu Yuchen was speechless when he heard it, and there was no difference between listening to it and not listening to it.
The researchers tried to explain to Wu Yuchen in simple sentences, "Hmm......... How to put it, it is a mass of charged gas, referred to as the fourth state. ”
"Oh!" Wu Yuchen looked at the scene outside the energy shield, the previously burned red sphere had turned into a gray gaseous ball, and there was already a dense electric light on it, which made people look at it in fear.
But what puzzled Wu Yu was that the rays released from the thermal beam gun did not decrease but increased, and they were still injecting high temperatures inward, without the slightest intention of stopping.
Wu Yuchen pointed to the four grappling hooks and said, "Hearing you say this, isn't this already a success?" Why are you still experimenting? ”
An intriguing smile appeared on Shen Yiran's wrinkled face, and he said, "This is because our purpose is not the fourth state, but the fifth state that is difficult to achieve!"
"The fifth state?" Wu Yuchen and Shen Xiaolu asked questions at the same time.
Although Shen Xiaolu knows a lot of physics knowledge, and he has also been exposed to the fourth state from his grandfather, this fifth state is the first time he has come into contact with it.
Shen Yiran smiled and said, "You will know just by looking at it!"
As he was talking, the experiment had reached the last stage, which made the scientific researchers present have to pay attention to it.
"Dean, the final stage is ready for the final test!" A scientific researcher with a record book in his hand turned his head and said to Shen Yiran.
"Good! Two million times the atmospheric pressure is released. Shen Yiran nodded and expressed satisfaction.
"Yes, two million atmospheres of pressure release ........" The scientist with the record book in his hand had already put down the notebook in his hand and was about to press the button to release the pressure, but he felt as if something was wrong.
"That's not right! Dean, wouldn't two million be too much? It stands to reason that 1.4 million pressure is enough, right? ”
"Do as I say!" Shen Yiran scolded.
"Yes."
There was no way, the dean must have his reasons for doing this, and he had no choice but to do it.
I saw that the moment the researcher pressed the enter key on the keyboard, the air in the laboratory suddenly trembled violently, and although everyone present was in the energy shield, they could clearly feel that the surroundings had become depressed in vain, and the air had become more viscous.
The air in all directions is like a giant tong, squeezing the gas ball, causing the gas ball to deform, and the gas ball has gradually developed from the first round to the oval direction.
However, a strange phenomenon has appeared, no matter how the gas ball is squeezed by atmospheric pressure, it will not spill out, and still maintain its overall form.
In a few moments, the pressure of the atmosphere had reached the terrifying pressure of two million. The light on the shield of energy guarding them began to dim, and then cracks spread across the shield, as if there was a faint sign of wanting to break.
"Quick! Increase the output of the energy shield!" A large amount of cold sweat had already appeared on Shen Yiran's forehead, and what he was worried about was not the failure of the experiment, but the safety of the people present!
"Dean, our reserves of energy are insufficient!"
"Damn it!"
"Forcibly terminate the experiment!"
Shen Yiran can't care about any experiments now, and the most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the people present.
"Dean, the system can't be shut down!" The researchers present are trying to force the termination of the experiment by various means, but in the end they find that there is nothing they can do.
Shen Yiran was anxious at this time, because he suddenly saw that the gas ball in front of him swelled violently, and then showed a strange blue light, this light was different from before, it seemed to be like a substantial "object", which made people feel an extremely violent sense of weight.
The entire Linlang Science Research Institute sank thousands of meters due to the increase in gravity, and cracks as thick as water tanks began to appear in the nearby ground, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
