Chapter 43: Run! Proton! (1)
Countless pale blue fires burst into the sky on Glize 581e, providing a lateral moment for the planet's rotation, causing the planet's rotation rate to gradually decrease. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When the planet's angular rotation velocity drops by 1 percentage point, the planetary engine changes the direction of acceleration and begins to accelerate the planet's rotation, returning to the original rotation speed of the Gliese 581e.
"Gliese 581e, the planetary engine test run completed. -- Noah's Report
Noah breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, the engine systems of the two planets that need to modify their orbits due to the arrival of the earth have been built, and the reason why he has not helped the two planets move now is because before the arrival of the earth, Noah did not want to destroy the stable system of this galaxy that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years.
A satellite that was originally slightly larger than the Moon around Gliese 581e was also transferred by Noah to Sidney, becoming the first satellite of Sidney.
After all, it is indeed very troublesome for a planet that needs to modify its orbit to have a satellite, and the satellite must be transferred away first, in case the gravitational balance between the planet and the satellite is broken in the process of changing orbits, resulting in a disaster such as a collision between the planet and the satellite.
This expelled satellite was named [Black Moon] by Noah, echoing the previous treasure satellite [Blue Moon], just because this satellite was covered with a thick layer of ferric tetroxide and dust, making the whole satellite gray-black, and the satellite itself did not have too many scarce resources, so it brought such a casual name.
Due to the scarcity of resources, Black Moon was not taken to Noah's heart at first, but what surprised Noah a little when building the planetary engine was that the satellite's structural stability was very good, and the land structure was very stable, and the planetary engine was built almost regardless of the construction site, because every part of it could support the thrust of the planetary engine.
This gave Noah some interesting ideas, the planetary engine built for [Black Moon] is not just a tofu scum project for orbit change, because of the excellent stability of this satellite, plus its size itself is much smaller than the planet, it can have a certain degree of flexibility, just like the planetary engine used as a weapon for the moon in the solar system before, [Black Moon] may also be used as another strategic weapon.
The huge size of the star class can get rid of the space limitations of the warship, and tens of thousands of large-scale heavy element fusion engines can be built on the satellite, so that the energy output of the black moon can far exceed that of the spaceship, and supply the giant helium flash weapon that ordinary spaceships are far from supplying, so that the entire [Black Moon] may be able to become a mobile super turret, although it cannot carry out the expedition of the light grade due to the inability to carry the impulse engine, but at least it can become a super weapon to defend the Gliese 581 galaxy.
In Noah's war simulation, this weapon can indeed play a role in turning the tide of battle, but because its speed is too slow and the target is too large, it needs a large number of frigates to escort it, and it is completely for the purpose of being a firepower fortress behind the fleet.
Originally, it was Noah's established matter to find a moon-like moon for the earth, not only because of the nostalgia for the moon, but also because the gravitational pull generated by the satellite's orbit around the planet can trigger the tides on the surface, which can speed up the ecological cycle on the surface, and in a sense, it is very beneficial to the ecological restoration of the earth.
After the transformation plan of [Black Moon] took shape, a new weapon form, [Battle Star], was included in Noah's database.
The galactic transformation work is ready, and the West Denian society has been on a positive trend, and the resources are fully stocked.
Therefore, Noah knew that it was time to tilt his computing power towards scientific research.
In the process of traveling at the speed of light of the spacecraft, Noah discovered a very serious shortcoming of the fleet, that is, in the process of traveling at the speed of light, the shell of the spacecraft is completely exposed to the cosmic environment, interstellar dust, meteorite fragments...... can cause wear and tear on the ship, and despite the breakthroughs in materials technology, this meaningless wear and tear will still exist.
And the plasma shield is not something that can be turned on all the time, the plasma shield is not the energy shield in many science fiction works, it can be defended in both physical and energy aspects, it just supports a regular layer of plasma gas outside the spaceship, due to the ultra-high temperature of plasma gas can defend against most kinetic weapons, and under laser and particle beam weapons, this defense capability will be greatly reduced.
Noah's original plan was to convert the electromagnetic force into gravity and repulsion through the four basic force transformations of the Grand Unified Theory, forming a repulsion field on the spacecraft, so that it could basically be immune to the wear and tear of interstellar dust, even for live ammunition and particle beam weapons, it would have a strong deflection effect, and when the repulsion force reached a certain level, even the beam weapon could not pose a threat, although the premise was the repulsion force of the gravitational level of the black hole......
Because the grand unified theory can realize the transformation of the four basic forces, there is no difficulty in theory, but when experimentally constructing the gravitational field and the repulsion field, Noah encountered unexpected difficulties.
To generate a gravitational force or repulsive force, Noah can indeed do it, and the interior of the spaceship used by Sidneys is fixed from top to bottom to exert a gravitational force pointing to the ground, but in such a generation process, Noah can only form a fixed gravitational force or mutual repulsion force between different [two poles], and cannot achieve the gravitational force that always points to the center of mass from all directions like a mass particle.
For example, if gravity is like the surface of water, Noah can make the surface of the water flow in a fixed direction, but cannot create a whirlpool on the surface of the water that all the currents will gather towards the whirlpool......
Noah knew that this was not a technical difficulty, it was caused by his lack of theory, in other words, the construction of gravitational and repulsive fields was the first technological obstacle that Noah encountered.
To overcome the barriers of science and technology, the development of technology and the accumulation of data are not possible, what is needed is a breakthrough at the theoretical level, Noah knows that due to the mastery of the grand unified theory and the gravitational theorem, he has knocked on the door of gravity, but the lack of some theories makes Noah unable to cross the threshold in front of this gate.
Among the technologies left behind by the Kara civilization, there is no technology about gravitational fields and repulsion fields at all, and Noah has not found similar devices on the legacy spaceship of the Kara civilization, so it is likely that even the Kara civilization has not yet broken through this layer of technological barriers in the gravitational field.
The development direction of each civilization is different, and the communication and engine technology of the Kara civilization is also far ahead of their civilization, and other aspects will inevitably be slightly weaker, not to say that every technology of a higher civilization will be better than the lower civilization, just like the efficient production and utilization of methane, the basic chemical energy discovered by Noah, Sidney, and Sidney's achievements in basic chemical energy are undoubtedly better than Noah's.
Gravitational force comes from mass, and in order to study gravity, we must first start with mass, and the study of the Higgs field becomes extremely important.
The Higgs mechanism explains that the universe is full of something called the Higgs field, and because of the existence of the Higgs field, elementary particles that originally had no mass can obtain energy from it, and this energy is converted into mass, so when particles pass through the Higgs field all over the universe, it is like passing through the "ocean", so that the particles are subjected to "resistance", which is the mystery of the mass of all things that physicists are looking for.
Physicists of the old civilization once established a set of elementary particle models called the [Standard Model], which predicted the existence of 61 kinds of elementary particles, the first 60 were discovered very early, and only the existence of the Higgs boson has been bothering people.
In the 21st century, the existence of the Higgs boson was proved in the large hadron collision experiment, which indirectly proved the correctness of the Higgs mechanism and improved the [Standard Model], which also provided theoretical support for the birth of GUTs (Grand Unified Theory) later, but after these 61 kinds of elementary particles, another imaginary elementary particle was proposed - [graviton].
The graviton, also known as the graviton, is an imaginary particle in physics that transmits gravitational force. The gravitational force between two objects can be boiled down to the graviton exchange between the particles that make up these two objects. In order to transmit gravity, gravitons must always attract, act in an infinite range, and appear in an infinite number of forms.
The Higgs mechanism gives mass, but the graviton becomes the bridge between mass and gravity.
The relationship between gravitons and the rest of the elementary particles, as well as the form of gravity, are all important materials for solving the grand unified theory, but unfortunately, human beings have not been able to discover the graviton in the end, but some scientists have relied on imagination experiments to deduce a graviton model according to the phenomenon in the particle collider, predicting the nature of the graviton and the relationship with other elementary particles. It provided an important basis for the birth of the later grand unification theory to unify gravity and the other three basic forces.
It is a miracle in the history of human civilization, but it is also a pity that the scientist who derived the graviton model did not really discover the graviton, which has also become a loophole in the history of civilization.
Noah knew that if he didn't go further on the standard model built by humans, he might never be able to break through this layer of technological barriers, and Noah didn't know how many types of civilizations the graviton would be involved in, but since it had become a technological barrier in front of him, Noah had to break it.
In order to study the properties of elementary particles, the construction of large particle colliders is indispensable, particle colliders, to put it bluntly, when accelerating protons to close to the speed of light, two opposite protons collide, and the energy level at the moment of collision will be close to the Big Bang at the beginning of the birth of the universe, countless elementary particles will be born at this moment, and countless physical laws will also be born at this moment.
However, due to the limitations of the theory of relativity, even if it is a proton, the energy required for the real acceleration of the speed of light is infinite, and the infinite energy does not exist at all, so the accelerated particles can only be infinitely close to the speed of light but can never reach the speed of light, the larger the particle accelerator, the more times the particle will be accelerated, the closer the particle can be to the speed of light, and the energy level at the moment of collision will be closer to the Big Bang, so the particle collider will naturally be larger and more technically valuable.
In the past, most of the large particle colliders built by laboratories on Earth were only mountain ranges, and the length of more than 1,000 kilometers was considered very huge, but this is still too far off. The former Lin Xuan submitted an application to the United Nations to build a large particle collider around the earth, but unfortunately failed, and Noah's plan was to build a larger circumplanetary particle collider in the synchronous orbit of Sidney, but before the start of construction, Noah changed his mind.
With such abundant resources, why not play bigger?
The ringing planet is too stingy, can the ringing star try?
After all, the truth that can be explored in particle collision experiments is far from being limited to gravitons, and all kinds of laws in the universe can be found in this experiment.
Noah set his sights on the construction site of Gliese 581, and quickly calculated a suitable orbit for the construction of the ring star, taking into account the mass, volume, and Loch limit of Gliese 581...... As well as the presence of six planets orbiting around it, Noah designed the orbit of the Ring Gliese 581 supergiant particle collider at a distance of 40 million kilometers from the star Gliese 581.
The full length of this super-giant particle collider will exceed 300 million kilometers......
