Chapter 790: Guardian, Invigilator
A bullet may not be able to penetrate even a layer of steel under normal conditions, but when accelerated to a very high speed, it can destroy a star. That's the power of speed. In particle accelerators, energy is continuously converted into velocity. These microscopic particles have unimaginable energy at this moment.
Under such high speeds, many wonderful physical phenomena have occurred. Xiao Yu observed that under such high speed, some particles were melted away. In an almost absolute vacuum, like an asteroid that had broken into the atmosphere, they ended their lives in a relatively violent way.
Xiao Yu's spirit immediately tensed. Xiao Yu knew that the interaction between microscopic particles and space had already occurred. It's just that because these particles themselves are not "tough" enough, they are not able to break the space, but are melted by the space itself.
Among the thousands of elementary particles, there are constantly different kinds of particles that are destroyed because they cannot withstand this huge amount of energy. The neutrons are gone, the protons are gone, and the electrons are gone...... By this time, only a handful of microscopic particles were still holding on.
The Higgs boson is among them. It followed the rest of the particles through the penultimate accelerator and rushed towards the last.
The penultimate and last accelerators are millions of kilometers apart, and at the speed of these particles at the moment, it only takes them a few tens of seconds to cross this journey.
More than a dozen seconds passed quickly. The last accelerator was filled with energy before the particles arrived, a huge amount of energy that would weigh as much as a moon if converted into mass. With such a huge amount of energy, the current role is to add a final force to these microscopic particles.
The huge amount of energy was released in an instant, and the speed of these microscopic particles was accelerated to a limit. Xiao Yu observed that in this moment, W boson. The π mesons have also disappeared, and only the last microscopic particle, the Higgs boson, remains in the huge particle accelerator.
The Higgs boson occupies an important position in Xiao Yu's scientific and technological development, and it is precisely because Xiao Yu discovered the Higgs boson, perfected the standard model, and verified the Higgs field that Xiao Yu's science and technology can make a great progress. At this time, when Xiao Yu had already become a sixth-level peak civilization and was about to impact a seventh-level civilization. Once again, the Higgs boson reveals its mystical powers.
These microscopic particles have already passed the last accelerator, which will be followed by a free-glide phase of tens of millions of kilometers. There are no more particle accelerators here, just dense observation devices. Any subtle spatial fluctuations will be observed by Xiao Yu.
The more than 30-day super-accelerated trial has come to an end, and now it's time for the results to come. Xiao Yu's heart was already tense. The enormous computing power is all spread to the particle accelerator.
"It's a matter of success or failure." Xiao Yu thought silently.
There was an eerie fluctuation in the space, as expected. Xiao Yu began to observe some extremely subtle spatial cracks that were constantly flashing and disappearing. This is clearly a precursor to the destruction of space and the imminent transformation into energy.
A subtle flash of light appeared in the pitch-black particle accelerator. Xiao Yu's heart suddenly moved. The presence of a flash of light means the presence of a photon. Photons are also one of the energies. Previously, there were no photons in particle accelerators.
Xiao Yu understood in an instant.
"It's the energy that space transforms! Under the power of ultra-high-velocity particles, space has been shattered, and a part of space has been converted into energy! ”
At this time, a huge amount of experimental data rushed into Xiao Yu's mind. That's from a myriad of detectors installed in a particle accelerator. Xiao Yu immediately began a quick analysis. These experimental data. It is very important for Xiao Yu to break through to the seventh-level civilization.
Huge amounts of experimental data continue to pour in. If there are no accidents, this phase will last at least three minutes. The experimental data of these three minutes will push Xiao Yu to break through the bottleneck he is currently encountering.
Every second that passed, Xiao Yu's scientific and technological theories were being partially refined. The physical milestone of the aeronautical formula is growing rapidly. It will soon mature. Then it was picked by Xiao Yu.
But at this time, an accident happened. Xiao Yu suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if all the clothes on his body were stripped naked in broad daylight, and countless pairs of eyes converged on him at the same time.
Xiao Yu felt that a strange consciousness had noticed him. This consciousness seems to be omniscient and omnipotent, and in front of this strange consciousness body, it has no secrets of itself. Everything that I have experienced in the past, what I am going through now, and what I will encounter in the future is all in the grasp of this strange consciousness. After it set its sights on Xiao Yu, it knew everything about Xiao Yu.
At this moment, Xiao Yu felt a lot about the truth about the universe, about the origin of the universe and the rules.
There is a question that has been bothering Xiao Yu, that is, why is the universe we live in the way it is now? Why are so many constants the same value as they are now? For example, the speed of light, such as the gravitational constant. These countless constants were destined at the beginning of the universe, and they participated in every subtle evolution of the universe, and finally forged the universe into what it is now. At the beginning of the universe, if any of the constants had been changed a little bit, the current universe would be very different.
So, who was destined for these constants in the beginning? Who specified that the speed of light must be the current number, who specified the gravitational constant, and who specified that the speed of light is insurmountable?
Technology has the power to change the world. The speed of light is insurmountable, but technology has found a way to circumvent the limit of light by sailing in curvature. Lack of energy, science and technology have found a path to nuclear fusion, decay of matter, antimatter, space energy, etc.
This is the most fundamental mystery of the universe, Xiao Yu still doesn't know where these rules come from, but Xiao Yu feels it, and this strange consciousness body that is currently staring at him is a defender.
These constants, rules, and laws are the "Tao" of this universe. This consciousness is responsible for protecting these "Taos" from being changed by intelligent beings. The higher the level of civilization, the greater the power it possesses, and the greater the impact it can have on the universe. The other side of the defense is to prevent intelligent beings from advancing to the next level.
That's why there are seven-level barriers. The seventh-level barrier was created by this strange consciousness body. At the first glance it looked at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu understood this.
He is now trying to break through the seventh-level barrier and enter the seventh-level civilization, and he is trying to have more powerful power and have greater influence on this universe. So, I was noticed by this strange consciousness body, or the defender, or the invigilator.
What exactly is a defender, Xiao Yu doesn't know. But one thing is for sure, it is not the universe itself. It seems more like a powerful civilization, a powerful civilization that has gone further than any other civilization. After it became a defender, it assumed the responsibility of monitoring the entire universe. Every being who tries to become a seventh-level civilization and tries to have greater influence over this universe will be perceived by it. According to certain rules of judgment, it will determine whether or not the civilization can be promoted.
Xiao Yu knew that he had failed. This failure will determine your future. Because in the future, he will never be able to try to become a seventh-level civilization again. At this time, Xiao Yu finally knew why the Taihao civilization could not become a seventh-level civilization.
The first warning, the second obliteration.
I have been noticed by the invigilator. If he tries to become a seventh-level civilization again, he will be wiped out by this cosmic defender.
Xiao Yu knew that he had no ability to resist. This strange consciousness exists in a peculiar form, as if the entire universe is within its field of vision, and as long as it is still in this universe, then there is absolutely no way to escape its surveillance.
"My body will be labeled as 'Taihao', and if there is no accident, I will never be able to become a seventh-level civilization. My path to a seventh-level civilization has been blocked. Xiao Yu thought with despair.
But at this time, the accident happened again.
In the particle accelerator, the microscopic particles that were in the free-gliding phase suddenly disappeared. The microscopic particles that were moving at an infinitely close speed to the speed of light disappeared for no apparent reason.
Xiao Yu was shocked in his heart: "What's going on?" Kindness? Has the speed of light been changed? Reduced by 521 microns? ”
Xiao Yu quickly noticed this matter. What happens when these microscopic particles are moving at a speed that is extremely close to the speed of light, and at this time, the speed of light suddenly decreases, even slower than the speed at which these particles are moving?
Don't forget that even if the speed of light decreases, the speed of light is still the upper limit of all normal motion, and no matter can exceed it.
This kind of phenomenon, which will not appear in theories and speculations, appeared alive in front of Xiao Yu's eyes at this time.
Xiao Yu suddenly sensed an emotion that seemed to be anger from this strange consciousness body that had been paying attention to him. (To be continued......)
