Ruan Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, sure enough, this was an unanswerable question, and no one could say for sure.

If the moisture can be reversed, Ruan Lin is willing to abandon his current level of science and technology and live as an ordinary human on earth, even if it is only for ten years.

Freed from these thoughts, Ruan Lin decided to make the first trip to the terrestrial planet that humans had probably already discovered, Barnard Star B.

It is located about 60 million kilometers from Barnard, which is about the same distance as the average distance from Mercury to the Sun in the solar system. It is not in the habitable zone of red dwarfs, it is a cold planet with a surface equilibrium temperature of about -170 degrees Celsius.

With a measured mass of about 3.4 standard Earth's masses and a radius of 1.36 Earth's standard diameter, it resembles a super-Earth.

But it's more like Europa, where Ruan Lin set foot earlier, with its core doing thermal motion, and possibly a subglacial ocean.

"Hopefully it has enough raw materials!" Nguyen Lin prayed.

Ruan Lin envisioned an extremely crazy plan, he wanted to build a planetary giant particle collider around Barnard Star B, and the excavation stage would be around its equator, which would need to be excavated about 100m down and 200m wide. The pipes were then connected to each other in the excavated channel, and an accelerating electric field was installed inside, which was the final stage of the collider's acceleration channel, which would be 17,329 kilometers long. After this construction is completed, it can no longer be modified, and it is a final word!

It's like an equatorial engine in a science fiction movie, except this time it's going underground.

At the same time, a small acceleration channel needs to be dug next to the equatorial acceleration channel, which requires digging a large elliptical hole with a radius of 50 kilometers and a depth of about 500 meters in the surrounding surface, where the protons will complete the first acceleration and then conduct the final sprint to the equatorial acceleration channel.

Nguyen Lin chose to conduct the particle collider project on Barnard B for a good reason: it is located some distance from Barnard, which will greatly reduce the interference caused by stellar radiation to the experiment.

The temperature of this planet is low enough, when the particle collider is running, all the magnets must be extremely cold, the superconducting cables inside can only function when they are close to absolute zero, and the cold of Barnard Star B alone is not enough, liquid helium must be added to the interior to refrigerate! They must also be superfluid helium.

Ruan Lin also remembered the surface connection passage of the Kahn civilization at this moment, would they be extremely surprised if they passed by here one day?

The electric field of acceleration in the equatorial acceleration channel cannot be installed in a precise circular way, Ruan Lin envisioned that the equatorial acceleration channel has 1,500 large arcs, separated by a 1km long line, and they are all independent individuals, which can be heated or cooled separately.

The proton rotates internally at 11,000 revolutions per second.

In the design, the masses of the rings within the equatorial acceleration channel are also not evenly distributed, they are fed into 16,080 clusters in the acceleration ring, each of which includes 1,150 protons, each 10 cm long and about 1 mm wide, with an interval of 20 meters.

This design ensures that each cluster can be accelerated to each particle, and confined them to a small cluster ensures that the protons can interact.

This allows Ruan Lin to record every data in time, and if it is not constrained and controlled, the protons will fly around, and it will be impossible to observe normally.

The Particle Collider is like a super microscope that can observe the interaction forces of particles on an extremely microscopic scale, which is about 1 billionth of a millimeter in size.

The collision process of the particle collider is similar to the process within the first trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. As long as this collision is successful, it can be zoomed in from the micro to the macro, and the formation of the early universe can be glimpsed.

It is not only the crystallization of modern science, it also carries the hope of modern physics.

Ruan Lin has countless questions: 96% of the mass of the universe is dark matter and dark energy that cannot be observed at present, what is their composition?

Ruan Lin can be sure that if a civilization does not have a particle collider, then that civilization will not have another technological advance in physics, and their physics is as if God has choked its neck.

If you want to lock up a civilization's development, it may be the most effective and economical way to do it in their particle collider.

During the Earth period, geoscientists preliminarily confirmed that the "Higgs particle" had been discovered through the collider experiment.

And Ruan Lin only needs to tinker with this building and complete the final capping.

During this time, he also hopes to explore some unsolved problems, such as the severe overweight of W bosons.

The next step is the stage of raw materials that make Ruan Lin incomparably big, this is no longer something that can be compared to incomparably big, he is now extremely anxious, he needs niobium-titanium alloys, secondary magnets, superfluid helium, steel, gold...

If the Circumplanetary Particle Collider were to be placed on Earth, it would cost construction, maintenance, labor, and electricity. Enough for all countries to go bankrupt in a few years.

The second-level magnet most needed by the particle collider costs 500,000 yuan on the earth, and Ruan Lin conservatively estimates the demand for the magnet needed by the circumplanetary particle collider at 690,000 yuan.

Ruan Lin didn't dare to think about it any longer, the project would take at least 400 years.

He wanted to do one thing now - settle Linde.

The ship he was on had been captured, and some technology could be decoded from this ship.

"The Barnard Star B atmosphere is about to be breached, and the fleet-wide hovering device has been activated."

Ruan Lin saw its appearance on the surface, and it should be classified as a rocky planet, which is very similar to Mars.

Barnard Star B's surface has countless steep canyons, they are rusty red like Mars, and there are fewer craters on the surface, so it doesn't seem to be as troubled as Mars.

What's more, it has a real "river"! Ruan Lin had seen several places of liquid water frozen in ice, tiling on the surface and even between canyons.

Through the porthole of the Titan, the light of Barnard Star seemed to be blocked by clouds, and it was completely unable to illuminate the entire day, which had a foggy feeling.

"If its parent star were the Sun, how could it be so gray!"

Since leaving the solar system, Ruan Lin has often liked to compare other stars with the sun.

As the Titan vibrates, Ruan Lin walks towards Linde in the material collection module, during which time the precision loading and unloading robot has connected to him physically, except for the missing hand.

Ruan Lin opened the collection pod and placed Linde's only remaining hand on his chest, two fingers closed his eyes, his eyes were extremely frightened, and one could imagine what he had suffered before he died.

He lifted Linde up with his hands level, and stepped off the ship in the dim light.
