Chapter 178: Elemental Decay

The information that Xiao Yu saw was not continuous, but intermittent, and there were often tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years between the two pieces of information. Many fragments of this process were inferred and imagined by Xiao Yu.

However, even this incomplete information has greatly enriched Xiao Yu's existing theoretical system. Let Xiao Yu have a better understanding of the formation process of stars.

Xiao Yu continued to search for what he wanted in the huge sea of information.

After the formation of this star, Xiao Yu saw that around it, some relatively large meteorite blocks began to appear. The number of these meteorite blocks, hundreds of billions, trillions, is almost endless. At this time, in the interior of the galaxy, there is still a relatively abundant interstellar dust, which is still accumulating.

Gradually, the small meteorite blocks gathered into large meteorite blocks, and the gravitational pull of the large meteorite blocks began to attract these interstellar dust, and it began to gradually increase its mass and volume.

This is a meteorite war that has lasted hundreds of millions of years. While the large boulder devours the small boulder, it also collides and merges with the rest of the large boulder. After countless long years, the first star has finally appeared, capable of emptying the remnants of its orbit.

It has reached hydrostatic equilibrium and its appearance is beginning to take on a spherical shape. In the ocean of interstellar dust, it unscrupulously increases its mass.

The same phenomenon occurred in several places in this primordial galaxy. Xiao Yu counted it, and there were as many as eight.

"Here...... Is it the primordial solar system? Xiao Yu had a little doubt in his heart.

Planets continue to increase their size and mass, and keep emptying the rest of the galaxy. After billions of years, they are finally finalized.

Xiao Yu saw that this star system, after stabilization, had a total of four rocky planets. Four gas giants.

Xiao Yu was still not sure which galaxy this galaxy was, whether it was the solar system or not. It wasn't until Xiao Yu saw another image and saw several neighbors around this star system that he came to a conclusion.

Zuihou's piece of information, according to Xiao Yu's speculation, should be a picture more than 2.5 million years ago. Because the distance between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way is more than 2.5 million light-years, it takes more than 2.5 million years for the light from the Milky Way to reach the Andromeda Galaxy and reach the interior of this black hole. It is stored by it.

"It's ...... South Gate 2, this is Sirius, this is Tianyuan 4, this is Nanhe 3......" Xiao Yu recognized those familiar stars one by one.

The positions of these stars are very different from their current positions. But Xiao Yu has long mastered the orbits of these stars. Through the reverse extrapolation algorithm, Xiao Yu can easily restore their position 2.5 million years ago. Meantime. By in this message. Their location, Xiao Yu can also deduce the specific time of this information.

That was about 2.63 million years ago.

In this era, the primitive apes above the earth have not yet discovered how wonderful the starry sky above their heads is. They are still drinking blood, just like animals.

Xiao Yu once again saw the real images of his hometown, although these images were more than two million years ago.

Xiao Yu in his heart. I had an indescribable feeling.

The image continues, and finally ends. But at the moment before the end, Xiao Yu saw something special.

It was a ball of light. It flickered in the frame and lasted less than a second in the image. This concludes the message.

"What's that?" Xiao Yu was puzzled in his heart, and checked this information again.

Xiao Yu saw this ball of light again.

It is about the size of Mercury, and its whole body emits a brilliant white light, and it hovers quietly outside the galaxy, maintaining a relatively stationary motion with the sun.

It is not a star because a star cannot be so small. It is not a planet, because it is impossible for a planet to emit such a bright light. The only possibility is that it's some kind of technological creation.

Xiao Yu saw that above this unknown sphere, there were some huge and curved lines, which seemed to contain words with some meaning. Xiao Yu felt very familiar with these words, as if he had seen them somewhere.

After only recalling tens of thousands of seconds, Xiao Yu remembered. Xiao Yu took out the 90s spaceship again, looked at the shell of the 90s spaceship, and was in a daze.

These words are basically consistent with the few words on the shell of the spacecraft in the 90s. To be sure, they are the same thing.

"This ship...... Is it the D-type Taihao civilization's spaceship? Will it weishenme appear here? What does it have to do with humans? ”

Xiao Yu had a strong feeling of doubt in his heart.

Xiao Yu remembered a rumor.

It is rumored that there was a period of great evolutionary leap between apes and primitive Homo sapiens, which lasted only a short time. In this very short period of time, humanity has made the leap from beasts to Homo sapiens.

The information that Xiao Yu has seen so far is the information of 2.63 million years ago. The rumored era of the Great Leap Forward is also about this era.

Xiao Yu is not an expert in biological sciences, so he doesn't know much about it, and he doesn't know if this rumor is true. But now it seems that the evolution of human beings is really related to this D-type Taihao civilization.

"If all these speculations are true, and human beings are really able to evolve because of the transformation of this Taihao civilization, then there are many doubts that can be explained, such as the fact that Weishenme will find human corpses in the spaceship of Taihao civilization. It's just that in this way, there will be a lot of new doubts. What is the purpose of their doing so? For its own evolution? Does the destruction of the earth have anything to do with them? Will I Weishenme survive? If it were purely to test the possibility of the union of souls and computers, there would be no need for them to destroy the Earth, and there would be no need to force me out of the solar system. ”

Xiao Yu thought silently and moved forward silently.

At this stage, Xiao Yu can only achieve faster-than-light travel in the laboratory, and cannot be applied on a large scale for the time being. This means that Xiao Yu can still only rely on conventional navigation to cover this long distance of more than 130 light years.

This distance, in the past, was enough to make Xiao Yu desperate, but now, it is no longer too much for Xiao Yu to take to heart. Sufficient fuel would allow Xiao Yu to accelerate to forty percent of the speed of light, and at this speed, Xiao Yu would only need to spend about three hundred years to reach his destination. Moreover, at this rate, the passage of time will be slowed down by about half, that is, when Xiao Yu feels that the past hundred and fifty years or so, Xiao Yu will reach his destination.

In this one hundred and fifty years, Xiao Yu will continue to search for things that are useful to him in the information collected by the information storm, and continue to carry out research on faster-than-light travel.

In addition to these two points, there is one of the most important research directions, and that is related to energy acquisition.

At this stage, Xiao Yu, who is enough to build a provincial-level spacecraft and sail at 40 percent of the speed of light, gradually feels that controllable nuclear fusion is no longer enough to meet the energy demand. It is imperative to develop new ways to obtain energy.

The annihilation of positive and antimatter can release a huge amount of energy, which can convert matter into energy 100%. However, at this stage, Xiao Yu's technology is not developed enough to create antimatter on a large scale.

Through the Large Particle Collider, Xiao Yu can create antimatter at a rate of one hour per gram, and such a tiny mass is obviously not enough to meet Xiao Yu's requirements. At this stage, antimatter is mainly used in related research stages and cannot be used on a large scale.

In Xiao Yu's planning, the most promising breakthrough in a short period of time is the decay of heavy elements.

Through the recombination between quarks, heavy elements will rapidly decay into light elements, and in the process, a large amount of energy will be released. When the earth exploded, it was shattered by the energy released by the rapid decay of the iron-nickel core into hydrogen.

Thanks to the breakthrough of the grand unification theory, Xiao Yu has carried out a lot of fruitful research on the decay of heavy elements.

Atoms are made up of nuclei and electrons, and nuclei are made up of neutrons and protons, protons and neutrons are both hadrons, and hadrons are made up of quarks. Hadrons are particles that are affected by strong interaction forces.

Among the four fundamental forces, the strongest force is the strongest, followed by the electromagnetic force. The electromagnetic force is the repulsive force, which prevents the particles from joining each other, and the strong interaction force, which is the force of attraction, which pushes the particles together. In the struggle between the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic force, the particle gains equilibrium and stabilizes its existence.

Xiao Yu found that after the strong interaction force between quarks was weakened and the electromagnetic force was enhanced by some means, the quarks would suddenly disperse, and then immediately do the opposite, strengthen the strong interaction force, and weaken the electromagnetic force, and they would collide violently again.

Quarks recombine into protons and neutrons, and protons and neutrons recombine into nuclei, which capture electrons to form atoms.

As a result, whatever element the substances were before they participated in the reaction, after the reaction, they would become hydrogen. This process is equivalent to splitting matter from the quark hierarchy and then allowing them to be recombined.

In the midst of such an impact, a large amount of mass is converted into energy and released, and Xiao Yu has roughly calculated and concluded that the efficiency of such a process, which converts mass into energy, is at least ten times that of controlled nuclear fusion. That is, through this process, about half of the mass of the substances involved in the reaction will be converted into energy! (To be continued......)

PS: The update has not been strong in recent days, and I am not too embarrassed to ask everyone for votes, but I woke up early this morning and found that I had fallen to fifth place...... And there is a trend of continuing to decline...... There's no way, it's better to be cheeky and ask for a ticket, it's the period of double monthly passes, vote one is counted as two, ask for votes......
