The experiment began in earnest.

The first stage is to conduct a strength test.

Although the intensity test was determined to be a phase, in fact, the planned time was only one week, because there was no particle problem, just filling the strong annihilation force field with pure energy, and testing the stability of the equipment and collecting relevant data in the process, the strength test would be completed safely and quickly.

Everyone in the study group is very serious.

Those who were not directly involved in the experiment were carefully collecting and collating the data and conducting a series of detailed analyses.

All the participants wanted the experiment to be a good one.

At the same time, the people in Wang Hao's research group are still thinking about making tachyon particles, which are different ways to verify theories.

The current goal of the experiment is to 'discover the phenomenon of neutron annihilation', and the fabrication of tachyon particles is to verify the superluminal phenomenon under a conventional annihilation field.

There are many opponents of their new theory.

Even if the theory is supported by a sound mathematical system, many scholars just can't accept the results, and the main contradiction is not antimatter, not the explanation of the annihilation of neutrons, but the contradiction between hypervelocity particles, tachyon particles and the Theory of Relativity.

If tachyon particles can be created, the theory will be directly proven.

People are fighting for breath, and they also want more recognition for their research.

The same is true for Wang Hao.

When he thought of being able to create tachyon particles, he also felt his blood boiling, and he was very much looking forward to it, so he took the time to contact the Institute of High Energy and wrote a letter to Academician Tian Guilin.

This research is definitely going to be carried out in conjunction with the High Energy Institute.

……

Tian Guilin soon received the message.

When I first met Wang Hao, Tian Guilin was not yet 60 years old, but now he is 67 years old, and his position has also been promoted to deputy director and director of the high-energy particle department, directly responsible for the high-energy particle acceleration office.

The current Tian Guilin can be said to be one of the top figures in the high-energy institute.

Tian Guilin is very idle every day, he is 67 years old, he is no longer responsible for the research of any project, nor is he responsible for complex work, most of the time is to drink tea in the office, and he also cares about the progress of the project, personnel allocation and other issues when he has time.

Another reason is that the performance of the positron collider has lagged behind, and the new collider is still under construction, which must have nothing to do with the old Tian Guilin.

On this day, Tian Guilin came to the office.

Professor Zhou Yongxiang from an office helped make tea and brought it over, "Academician Tian, have you heard?" The second step of progress has been completed on the nuclear fusion side, and the ignition power generation experiment will soon begin. ”

"Yesterday's report said that when the second progress is completed, the next step can be a trial run."

"I can't imagine it, how long has it been? Such a big project, Academician Wang Hao is indeed amazing! ”

Zhou Yongxiang said with a sigh.

"Wang Hao!"

Tian Guilin's expression was complicated, "He cooperated with us once, and then, our spectrometer detection project was gone." ”

“…… That's all in the past. ”

Zhou Yongxiang smiled awkwardly.

Tian Guilin also shook his head funny, it is indeed a thing of the past, and it has no impact until now, and some people in the institute still feel that a project that burns money and has no results can save a lot of money.

He took a sip from his teacup, habitually looked at the magazine at hand, and then turned on the computer and found a new email.

After looking at the sender, Tian Guilin suddenly became serious.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yongxiang noticed Tian Guilin's expression.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent an email......"

Tian Guilin began to say with emotion, "Aren't you looking for someone from high energy again?" Academician Wang has always been an e-mailer. ”

"That's true."

Wang Hao still has a lot of contact with the high-energy institute, but under normal circumstances, it is the high-energy institute that produces people or teams to assist his team in research.

Tian Guilin opened the email and checked it, his face slowly became weird, "Tachyon? What is Academician Wang thinking? This time it's not about people, it's about cooperating with us. ”

Tian Guilin suddenly reacted and said in surprise, "I really want to cooperate!" Academician Wang said, work with us to make tachyon ......"

"This study!"

"In short, it's cooperation!"

Tian Guilin suddenly became very excited, he realized what the content of the cooperation was, and also realized what the research findings represented.

Zhou Yongxiang walked over.

Tian Guilin explained, "To put it simply, Academician Wang wants to find us to test their new theory - to overturn the "Theory of Relativity" and verify the existence of tachyon!" ”

Zhou Yongxiang was also stunned, "Tachyon? I've seen that research, it was done by Helen and Chen Mengmeng, but does it really exist? ”

"Whether it exists or not, now Academician Wang has found us."

Tian Guilin said, "You know what it means, right? If tachyon particles are discovered, it will be a subversion of high-energy physics, a subversion of the Theory of Relativity......"

Zhou Yongxiang nodded vigorously.

He thought about it carefully, and his face turned red with excitement, "This project must be won!" Regardless of whether it can be verified or not, no matter what the result is, the opportunity to cooperate with Academician Wang Hao is too rare. ”

"If it can be verified, it would be great."

"Now Academician Wang has sent an email to ask about our intentions, right? Of course it's no problem, if we don't do it, Wucheng also has an accelerator! ”

Tian Guilin was full of wit, "Yes, hurry up, you must take it, I will write a reply now!" ”

"And."

He explained, "Old Zhou, you lead a team of a few people to Xihai University to meet Academician Wang, we have to hurry up and don't give that group of people in Wucheng any chance!" ”

"Good!"

Zhou Yongxiang nodded vigorously again.

He didn't wait for Wang Hao's second reply, he directly found a few people in the office, and packed up his things and went to Xihai University.

……

Wang Hao didn't expect it at all, just sent an email of intention to ask, and the high-energy institute would send someone directly to Xihai University.

But the problem is that his research group is in the desert of no man's land.

Their experiments will take a long time, and it will certainly not be possible to go back anytime soon.

After seeing Tian Guilin's reply to the email, he directly said that he was not at Xihai University and would not go back for a month.

As a result, Tian Guilin didn't care at all, "It's okay, I'll let Lao Zhou wait there." ”

"Academician Wang, when do you go back, they are all there! Wait for us at any time, we are so interested in this project! ”

"We can make up our minds, let's study it together!"

In the face of such an enthusiastic attitude, Wang Hao could only give an affirmative answer.

His mind is still experimenting.

The first phase of the strength test was completed quickly, and it was basically the same as the experimental plan, and the first phase did not have any problems, but a large amount of data was collected.

The only one who has gained is Xu Hua.

For the first-order light wave test, she has completed a lot of relevant data measurements, and her expression is also very excited, "Each data here can be taken out separately to write a paper, and it can also be published in the top journals." ”

That's how she describes the results of the experiment.

"It's good to have a harvest."

Wang Hao didn't care at all, he wasn't interested in optical measurements.

The next step is the second stage, which involves the nuclear reaction at the ultimate energy intensity, and even if the reaction is very weak, it needs to be treated with the utmost seriousness.

At this time, Liu Qingzhi's team finally began to get busy.

In the second phase, most of the work was completed by Liu Qingzhi's team, because the equipment was already placed there, and the others were responsible for design, testing and data calculation, while Liu Qingzhi's team was responsible for installing the nuclear reactor equipment, mainly the nuclear reaction raw materials and the accompanying safety equipment.

According to the experimental plan, a first-order metal separator will be added to the outer layer of the raw materials for nuclear reaction to carry out certain radiation protection.

The metal barrier does not block heat conduction, that is, it does not block energy, and still allows the strong annihilation field to be filled with energy to the 'limit'.

There are other guards around the perimeter of the metal compartment, all to ensure the safety of personnel.

Even with a lot of protection, no other personnel will approach the equipment.

Wang Hao, Paul Phil-Jones and others simply stayed two kilometers away from the experimental base, and separated from the cave where the experiment was conducted by a hill, so as to ensure safety to the greatest extent.

"Even after the experiment, don't approach the device again."

"If you need to be close to the equipment, you have to wear a full set of protective equipment, and it can't last more than half an hour, and you can't touch anything."

Wang Hao constantly emphasized the issue of security.

Liu Qingzhi said unconcernedly, "Academician Wang, you don't need to be so cautious in the first experiment, according to the experimental plan, the initial material demeanor is only 0.1%, even within the range of the strong annihilation force field, it is unlikely to trigger a nuclear reaction." ”

"And, as you requested, place a uranium rod at the beginning......"

Liu Qingzhi didn't care at all.

He has done too many nuclear experiments and participated in the construction of several nuclear power plants, and the uranium rods in the nuclear power plants have a minimum abundance of more than 2% of the raw material inside.

Even if the value is higher, it is only 5%.

At present, it is only 0.1%, and under normal circumstances, raw materials with an abundance of less than 1% cannot make the reaction continue.

Even if you consider a strong annihilation field......

Wang Hao looked at Liu Qingzhi and said, "Professor Liu, you may not know much about the mechanism of the strong annihilation force field to promote the occurrence of nuclear reactions, right?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Qingzhi nodded awkwardly, he really didn't understand the principle mechanism.

There is no literature on the stimulation of nuclear reactions by strong annihilation fields, and only F-rays can ignite nuclear reactions.

This is unequivocal.

People in the Institute of Nuclear Physics have participated in experiments in which F-rays excite deuterium-deuterium fusion reactions, but the specific excitation principle is not clear.

There is no publicly available information in this regard at all.

Wang Hao nodded in understanding and explained, "The strong annihilation force field is essentially different from the ignition of conventional thermal energy for the excitation of nuclear reactions. ”

"The strong annihilation force field is a field force, which has a direct penetration effect, and the metal barrier on the outer layer of the raw material is of no use at all, and the field force will quickly act on each uranium element and greatly accelerate their decay rate."

"Regardless of the abundance of the raw material, every uranium element will be affected by the field force, and if you add a strong thermal environment to stimulate the neutron impact effect, it will become very, very full anyway!"

Liu Qingzhi asked with understanding, "In other words, in an instant, the reaction can be completed?" ”

"It's a possibility."

Liu Qingzhi asked curiously, "So, what proportion of uranium will decay rapidly due to the strong annihilation force field?" ”

"We didn't conduct any experiments."

"Are you sure you can do it in an instant?"

"As I said, no experiments have been conducted."

"Do high and low field forces have the same effect on uranium?"

"I said ......"

Wang Hao shook his head a little helplessly, "We haven't conducted experiments, and we don't have relevant data, so we have to pay more attention to it." ”

"Okay."

Liu Qingzhi was suddenly a little proud, he actually stopped Wang Hao, and then said, "Don't worry, everything is going according to plan, Academician Wang, we will pay attention to safety." ”

"Pay more attention."

Wang Hao didn't care, when the experiment was about to start, he took the others away.

Their experimental environment is not perfect, and they have not established a special testing room, Wang Hao and others are far away, which is really far away.

The experiment was handed over to Liu Qingzhi.

The only ones left were He Yi and a few engineers, and He Yi did not stay in the cave, but commanded the opening of the strong annihilation force field on the periphery.

In the process of the experiment, He Yi also started communication with Wang Hao.

Wang Hao can listen to the whole process from a distance——

"Prepare for the test and report the data."

"Professor Liu, are the raw materials ready? Pay attention to safety measures and be sure to stay safe! ”

"Everything is fine!"

"Are you sure again?"

"No problem!"

"Start the heat source device!"

"Report the intensity!"

"Ready to turn on the field!"

"Boom!"

A muffled noise erupted in the center of the device, followed by shouts from the crowd, and the sound was somewhat chaotic.

Wang Hao waited anxiously.

After a long time, I heard He Yi say to the communication equipment, "Academician Wang, one good news, one bad news." ”

"The bad news is that there was an explosion."

"The good news is that Professor Liu Qingzhi said that there were no casualties, only he himself fell......"

Wang Hao and his group quickly returned to the experimental base.

They did not enter the cave where the experiment was located, but inquired about the scene outside, only to learn that there had been a slight explosion.

One of the staff members involved in the experiment said, "As soon as the field force was created, there was an explosion. It was a slight explosion, as if the uranium rod had exploded. ”

"However, the explosion did not break through the metal barrier, nor did it affect the equipment, but it was very loud......"

"At that time, Professor Liu was more than ten meters away, he fell to the ground, and then shouted a few times in pain, he should have fallen and injured."

After the staff finished speaking, their expressions became a little weird.

It was a bit scary, and they felt like they were going to replicate the 'real explosion'.

The result was only a faint explosion, and even the equipment was not affected.

Now that I think about it, everyone is fine, only Liu Qing is the only one who is scared and injured, which does sound a little weird.

Wang Hao asked, "What about Professor Liu?" ”

"Went over there to check." The staff member pointed to the office building.

"Thankfully, there weren't any major problems."

Wang Hao exhaled lightly, thought about it carefully, and said to He Yi, "You were wrong just now, there was an explosion without casualties...... That's the good news! ”

"This represents a new discovery!"

"It is certainly not a simple nuclear reaction, it is very likely to be the phenomenon of annihilation of neutrons!"
