Chapter 46: Run! Proton! (4)

Time passed quickly, and another five years after Hilbert's death, the parts of the particle collider built in the synchronous orbits of the four planets were finally completed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The four collider arc parts consumed nearly 90 million tons of Noah's material, and most of the original reserves were spent at once, although the resources of the star system were extremely abundant, it still made Noah feel very distressed.

Each component is towed by dozens of large ships and hundreds of smaller ships and transporters, taking them out of the synchronous orbits or Lagrangian points of each planet to the pre-set orbit around Gliese 581.

Next, it's time for docking.

The four arc parts, each accounting for a quarter, are docked to form a complete circle, which sounds simple, but if each part is more than 80 million kilometers long, and the circumference of this circle is more than 330 million kilometers, will it still be simple?

Just imagine, in the open space, hundreds of millions of kilometers away from two arc interfaces, to complete a perfect docking at a distance of nearly 100 million kilometers, this is no different from aiming a gun on the moon at a mosquito on the earth......

The particle collider, no matter how huge it is, is an extremely sophisticated instrument after all, and Noah cannot afford to have errors that affect the experimental results.

In order to axonize the entire Gliese 581 planet, Noah borrowed the positions of the four stars of the solar system, Polaris in Ursa Minor, Antares in Scorpio, and Sirius in Canis Major as reference points, and used the trajectories of the stars to construct a three-dimensional coordinate system that includes the entire Gliese 581 galaxy!

A very small panoramic model of the Gliese 581 galaxy appeared in front of Noah, six planets like mung beans grunting and spinning, the original majestic star, now become the size of a baseball, four thin lines floating around the baseball star, Noah's job is to connect these four thin wires into a circle around the star......

The spacecraft dragged the four parts to their intended orbit, and the four thin lines in front of Noah moved slowly, encircling the entire star in a quadripartite manner.

"C component, position off the ecliptic plane, upward adjustment of 340 km. -- Noah's report. ”

"e part, away from the predetermined track, towed forward 1000 km. -- Noah's report. ”

"d part, fixed position, change of orientation, side rotation 11 degrees. -- Noah's report. ”

"F part, unfold to start, pre-docking with C part begins. -- Noah's report. ”

The four thin lines begin to gradually turn into perfect quarter arcs, and one end of the two thin lines gradually joins together.

"The CF component docking is complete, and the interface error sweep begins...... At the end of the scan, the error is 4.77 meters, and the fine-tuning begins. -- Noah's report. ”

This kind of docking work alone takes up most of Noah's computing power, because Noah needs to constantly refer to the positions of the four stars to calculate the three-dimensional coordinates of the docking parts, and to control the spacecraft to drag down to the millimeter, and constantly feed back information to the tens of thousands of robots distributed on each component to modify the data parameters of the docking parts.

A week later, the four parts were roughly docked, and a very perfect circle surrounded the entire Gliese 581 star, but Noah knew that there were still many errors in the seemingly perfect circle, and the fine-tuning of the interface had not stopped.

After a full month, Noah finally narrowed the error to the micron range, and under such a huge ring-star particle accelerator, the micron error would no longer affect Noah.

After the completion of the connection of the four sections, there are only some structural reinforcement, equipment debugging, wiring and other work left, and Noah can't wait to carry out the most magnificent particle collision experiment in human history, the work is rapidly advanced, and finally a month later, the super giant particle collider was completed!

After everything was ready, Noah piloted the spaceship with two precious protons to the main control room of the Super Giant Particle Collider.

Hilbert wanted to participate in the experiment, and his beliefs were recognized by Noah, who intended to fulfill his last wish even though he was dead.

These two protons are derived from Hilbert's ashes.

According to Noah's few emotional thoughts, this is the best way to remember the old man, Hilbert was not able to participate in this great experiment during his lifetime, but after his death, the traces of his existence will accompany the progress of civilization along with the scientific revelations brought by these two protons.

In order to ensure proton collision and continuous observation before the 23rd century, coupled with the problem of technology and cost, this kind of experiment is generally to accelerate the collision of two proton beams with a large number of protons, but the acceleration is no longer a single proton, the same energy, accelerate a proton beam and a single proton, which can achieve a higher speed, naturally needless to say, and in order to eliminate the interference of collision phenomena, a single proton collision experiment has become the mainstream of later generations.

With everything ready, Noah dropped two protons into the particle emitter and gave the command.

"The Ringglazer 581 Stellar Super Giant Particle Collider has begun its first collision experiment!"

Nearly 300,000 heavy element fusion engines distributed across the particle collider are working at the same time, and their energy output has only one purpose: to accelerate the two protons that are being launched into the particle-accelerating orbit.

How much energy will 300,000 heavy element fusion engines output at full power? This is enough to support the normal operation of the planetary activation systems of 10 Earths, but this time it is not the planets that are pushing, just two protons that are tiny to the extreme.

The protons ejected from the transmitter are accelerated to 99.99% of the speed of light in the initial stage, and the next hundreds of millions of kilometers of acceleration process are just to continuously shrink the last 0.01% of the speed of light, and the protons quickly pass through the first stage of the accelerator and rush to the second, third, and fourth stages...... Until the end of the collision!

Note that this is only a regular acceleration, not an acceleration brought by the impulse engine to the spacecraft that can modify the relativistic mass, due to the extremely high speed, the mass of the two protons is also starting to soar, the relativistic effect has already appeared in the particle acceleration orbit, and the time flow rate of the two protons is already on another timeline at this moment.

Two protons are racing wildly in the accelerating orbit of the ring star at a speed infinitely close to the speed of light, the total length of the orbit is 330 million kilometers, even the speed of light, it takes about 18 minutes to complete the distance, and this 18 minutes is the proton constantly narrowing the last slight difference from the speed of light, narrowing the subtle difference to a more subtle, and then subtle, infinitely shortening the last trace of the difference......

This is the advantage that the huge acceleration orbit of the ring star can bring, there is a full 18 minutes, tens of millions of acceleration processes, far from the original collision experiment on the earth that will be completed in less than ten seconds, just imagine, 300,000 heavy element fusion engines in 18 minutes all the energy output is concentrated on two protons, what is the level of energy when they finally collide!?

Some people speculate that the collision of the speed of light will be the Big Bang, so this experiment is to get infinitely close to the Big Bang!

With the last force of 300,000 fusion engines, two protons infinitely close to the speed of light collide at a certain point in the particle-accelerating orbit!

At this moment, the energy level of the collision point of the two protons surpassed that of a comet hitting the moon, beyond the supernova explosion, and beyond everything that Noah and mankind had known before!

Within a femtosecond of the collision, a model of the evolution of the Big Bang was completed under Noah's eyes, countless elementary particles were born from it, countless physical laws were formed at this moment, and a small black hole with a range smaller than the atomic nucleus was born at the collision point, but disappeared immediately.

Because the mass it possesses is so small, the Hawking radiation completely depletes it before it can devour the matter around it.

At the moment of collision, the amount of information contained in the evolution process of the femtosecond can surpass the accumulation of human civilization for countless years, but what can be observed and recorded by Noah is only a small part of it, and there are more phenomena beyond the limits that can be captured by existing observation methods, they may occur in other dimensions, or they may go beyond the material level but the evolution of the rules of the universe, but this small part will also become the cornerstone of Noah's construction of the tower of civilization in the new century.

Since this experiment, the earth's civilization will once again usher in a moment of leap forward.

The success of this experiment gave Noah a high degree of self-confidence, and Noah dropped two more protons.

"The second particle collision experiment, begins."

Then, there was another modeling process for the evolution of the Big Bang.

Noah will continue to accumulate data, constantly improve the evolution process of his simulation, and find new theorems that he has not yet discovered, so that his technology tree will become more flourishing.

For the next month, Noah repeated the process of particle acceleration experiments.

In thousands of experiments, Noah has observed many times a particle, its spin is zero, there is no charge, it is very unstable, and it will decay and disappear the moment it is born, Noah knows that this is the Higgs boson, commonly known as the God particle, is the last of the 61 elementary particles predicted by the Standard Model, and its discovery is a milestone in microscopic physics.

But what made Noah feel a little speechless was that in thousands of experiments, although it was not said that the Higgs boson would be observed every time, it could be observed in nine out of nine experiments, and Noah had even recorded dozens of Higgs bosons of different masses, which were successfully observed in the earth civilization for a century......

As the saying goes, if you think about it, can you get stronger without throwing money at your equipment?

It is worth mentioning that some interesting phenomena also occurred in the collision experiment, some masses were created, Noah only put in the mass of two protons, but the mass born after the collision exceeded the mass of the two protons, which means that assuming that the mass of the two protons is 2, the total mass of the wreckage after the collision reaches 2.01......

Noah knew that the mass-energy conversion process had occurred, and the excess 0.01 was originally the energy input by 300,000 fusion engines to the two protons, and at the moment of collision, due to the extremely high energy level, part of the energy was converted into mass, and at that moment, Noah produced positive matter and antimatter at the same time, but they were soon annihilated by each other, leaving only the remains that did not participate in the annihilation reaction, which became the excess 0.01.

Antimatter Technology ......... This is the technology that mankind dreams of, and it represents the complete utilization of material energy, which in a real sense surpasses nuclear fusion, and is the absolute supreme way of obtaining energy under existing theories......

As long as human beings have not discovered a way to obtain energy from the void, the annihilation reaction of positive and antimatter will be an energy acquisition method that can never be surpassed.

However, Noah knows that his current level of civilization is not enough to come into contact with antimatter technology, and perhaps when he surpasses the Kara civilization and reaches the apex of the Type I civilization, he will be qualified to start the development of antimatter technology...... However, the purpose of this experiment was neither antimatter nor the Higgs boson, and in thousands of experiments, another new type of particle that was not included in human civilization was observed by Noah.

It has a spin of 2 but has no mass, is not charged, and belongs to a type of boson.

At first glance, it will be divided into the category of photons, but in a thousand experiments, Noah still succeeded in separating this new type of particle.

After in-depth research, it was found that this is a kind of particle with a double-layer structure, with a core and a shell, the outer shell charge is negative, the central charge is positive, and the overall is electrically neutral, but when it comes to the microscopic level, the close particles will be difficult to stabilize because the outer shell is negatively charged, and this rejection is broken when they are far apart, and the particles traveling at the speed of light will be constantly exchanged between the two objects......

It is completely in line with the graviton model predicted by mankind.

Noah breathed a sigh of relief, the discovery of gravitons will be an opportunity to completely break the last threshold for Noah to step into the field of gravity, gravity is undoubtedly a field of great strategic value, gravitational weapons, spacecraft repulsion field, anti-gravity levitation.........

Noah knew that this major breakthrough in the theoretical level of civilization would pave the way for Noah to reach the apex of Type I civilization.
