Chapter 280: Ideas, Analyzing Photons

"That's it! That's the best. Ning Qiaoqiao nodded,

"But those of us who do astrophysics need beam channels across the solar system."

"Anyway, shouldn't you need a large telescope the most?" Su Zhe asked with a smile. Although Ning Qiaoqiao is now mainly researching the very poor microwave radiation spectrometer, Ning Qiaoqiao's main job is to study celestial bodies.

"We need beam channels across the solar system to accelerate spacecraft such as probes and telescopes that we design." Ning Qiaoqiao explained,

"We've calculated that with a beam channel across the solar system, we can accelerate the spacecraft to half the speed of light, and if the total mass is a little smaller, we can accelerate to close to the speed of light. Her research team has designed a detector with three simplified heavy-photon aerospace engines with a total mass of one ton.

Its maximum acceleration is 200 Gs. Accelerating through the beam channel between the Earth and the Moon, its maximum speed is capable of reaching 2,000 kilometers per second.

If you use a beam of light across the solar system, you won't have any problem accelerating to close to the speed of light.

As now, there are a large number of probes around the sun, planets, moons, and other celestial bodies in the solar system, and almost all of these probes are launched by this acceleration method.

In addition, many probes have flown out of the outer solar system and have crossed the Oort cloud. With the proximity of these probes, more and more is known about the objects within the solar system.

In her idea, launch a large number of probes close to the speed of light to explore the universe outside the solar system.

This is a huge help for human beings to understand the universe.

"Understood!" Su Zhe nodded and said with a smile,

"In fact, we had this idea when we wanted to build a beam channel across the solar system, not only probes, but also the Penglai space city could be accelerated by a long-distance beam channel." In fact, the beam channels across the solar system have too many functions.

Normally, this is just a major component of the solar system's beam channel transportation network. It's just flying a spacecraft or something.

Or transfer some information. And then there's the acceleration of the spacecraft. These are both civilian and scientific aspects.

In fact, the beam channel can also be used for long-range strikes. Consider the acceleration of an object in a beam path to close to the speed of light.

How destructive is such an object. Something can take the impact of this object. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire beam channel transportation network is a weapon.

"I'm guessing you'll think the same way." Ning Qiaoqiao nodded and said,

"Well, I noticed an internal document from your Nine Heavens Research Center, called the Proton Photography Project, can you tell me about it?" Her research team and the Nine Days Research Center have a deep working relationship.

She has permission to read many of the internal documents of the Nine Days Research Center. Similarly, the staff of the Nine Days Research Center will be able to read the documents related to their research team.

It's just that this document, called the Proton Photography Project, is not too detailed, only a few short sentences.

But just these few words deeply attracted her. She sensitively perceived that if this proton photography project really came to fruition, then she felt that cosmology would be subversive.

No, it's subversive to everything.

"Huh! Senior sister, you actually noticed the document of the proton photography project. Su Zhe smiled,

"Sister Master wants to listen, of course I am willing to talk about it, but now the proton photography project is still just a concept, and further follow-up research will be carried out later."

"I understand all of this!" Ning Qiaoqiao looked at the big screen and said,

"There's still about an hour to go, so you can talk to me quickly." In another hour, five solar harvesting stations and two solar energy transmission stations will all be in place.

At that time, the final verification of the three-door plan began.

"Good!" Su Zhe nodded and began to say,

"This proton photography project is actually to analyze the information carried by the photons captured by the hydrogen atoms or hydrogen ions of a single proton, and the photons are ......," Su Zhe said again to Ning Qiaoqiao what he said to Fan Xiaoming that day.

Ning Qiaoqiao listened very seriously. After Su Zhe's introduction, Ning Qiaoqiao said seriously: "It's feasible!" It is completely feasible, and once successful, we will be able to understand not only the entire history of our human race, the entire history of the earth, but also the history of the universe. "The passage of time is accompanied by the movement of matter.

From a microscopic point of view, it is the motion of particles. It doesn't matter if it's a lepton or a hadron. As long as the particles move, they are bound to leave traces.

Just like when you walk on the road, all the matter around you, or all the particles around you, will exchange information with you to a greater or lesser extent.

To put it simply, the countless particles around you are like a camera, recording your every move.

The same is true when you look at the universe as a whole. Anything that happens in the universe is photographed by the particles around it.

What they have to do now is to parse the information recorded in these particles. It is common sense that matter, that is, particles, can record information, but the more complex the particles themselves, the more difficult it is to parse.

Proton photography engineering chooses to study hydrogen atoms, or hydrogen ions, for a single proton. This not only makes it less difficult to parse.

Crucially, a single proton's hydrogen atom, or hydrogen ion, is ubiquitous and abundant in the universe.

It can be said that there are hydrogen atoms, or hydrogen ions, of a single proton in the vast majority of space in the universe.

Fan Xiaoming nodded and said with a smile: "The current proton photography project is still just a concept, and the study of proton photography engineering requires us to open the proton and understand the whole of the proton, and only in this way can we promote the proton photography project." "There is a prerequisite for studying proton photography engineering, that is, to understand all the information about protons, or to understand all the structure of protons.

As far as the current study of protons is concerned, they are composed of two upper quarks and one lower quark, which are now considered to be elementary ions.

There is also a relatively reasonable model for the structure of protons. That's all he has for now.

To put it bluntly, there is no very definite conclusion about the composition of protons, especially protons.

It needs to be continuously studied. For now, it cannot be said that the current proton structure model is necessarily correct.

Again, whether quarks are really elementary ions, and whether they have smaller structures. After the proton absorbs the photon, where the photon goes, the photon receives those influences.

And so on and so forth, many problems need to be solved. In fact, if you really have a complete understanding of protons, then high-energy physics has definitely made a comprehensive breakthrough.

The universe is no longer a secret to mankind. In general, it is difficult to realize the proton photography project, but it does not prevent people from going forward and researching.

"I know, isn't it just to turn on the proton and study the proton! It's hard, but we can persevere. Ning Qiaoqiao smiled.

"That's right! Hang on. Su Zhe said seriously,

"If a goal is easily achieved, how boring it would be."

"Yes! We want to be ambitious. Ning whispered,

"With the development of science and technology, soon we human beings will not have to worry about food and clothing, so many people always have to find something to do, in my opinion, it will not be long before the most important thing we human beings do is to study the unknown and explore the universe." With the development of science and technology, all mankind does not have to worry about eating and drinking.

Even if all mankind were lying flat, there would be no shortage of food and drink. But at that time, people couldn't really lie flat.

We should continue to do scientific research and continue to explore the unknown. In her view, the vast majority of human beings should participate in scientific research, not lie flat.

"Yes! I think so too. Su Zhe nodded and said,

"In the future, scientific research will be the booster for employment."

"That's right! There is such a trend now. Ning Qiaoqiao said with certainty.

"Here's the trend." Su Zhe smiled,

"In fact, there are signs of this in China, anyway, the development of science and technology needs a large number of scientific researchers." At present, there is such a trend in China.

That's what everyone wants to see. Domestically, those manufacturing will be replaced by automated and artificial intelligence factories.

In a manufacturing plant like this, there will only be fewer and fewer workers on the front line. Some are just the maintenance personnel in the back.

He believes that with the development of science and technology, these maintenance personnel will also be replaced by automation and artificial intelligence.

This is the manufacturing industry. As for agriculture and mining, it will gradually be replaced by automation and artificial intelligence.

If you want to say that it can't be replaced, it's probably the service industry. Finally, the largest number of people employed is probably scientific research.

"At that time, it will be almost all about scientific research." Ning Qiaoqiao smiled.

"That's right! The full name is engaged in scientific research, which makes people excited to think about it. Su Zhe nodded and said,

"But then again, even if we engage in scientific research in an all-round way, compared to the unsolved mysteries of the universe, there are still fewer of us involved in scientific research."

"Relatively speaking, it's a little less, but it's not something we can decide." Ning Qiaoqiao smiled and said,

"That's right! During this time, I have been thinking about a problem, that is, the problem of telescopes, and I just heard you talk about the proton photography project, and I have a new idea. As she said that, her mind kept thinking about something else.

Truth be told, the proton photography project was a big inspiration to her. It reminded her of the problem of the telescope that she had been thinking about before.

"Telescope...... New ideas, you talk about it. Su Zhe was a little curious. He likes to hear new ideas the most.

Often, big discoveries start with an idea. For now, going from zero to one is the hardest.

And between zero and one, the most important thing is the new idea. Ning Qiaoqiao nodded and said seriously: "For a simple telescope, it is by concentrating more photons into a small area, and finally the photons enter the human eye, and the photons are imaged on the retina of the human eye, and finally this information is transmitted to the brain. "To put it simply, these photons carry certain information.

The information carried by these photons does not change as they pass through the telescope. Throughout the process, the telescope is only a tool for transmission, and the human eye is the decoder of the information carried by these photons.

Interpret the information carried by photons as something that a human can understand.

"That's right!" Su Zhe nodded.

"Another example is the survey telescope in space, which is actually the same, focusing photons to decode the information carried by photons." Ning Qiaoqiao said,

"Let me put it this way! In fact, the decoding of the information carried by photons is the most primitive decoding scheme from us human beings, and in fact, we have not parsed a lot of information carried by photons. "She's not bluffing.

Photons carry a lot of information. The human eye's interpretation of the information carried by photons is the most primitive.

"Yes! I agree with that, too. Su Zhe nodded and said,

"Every time a photon changes its motion state, the information it carries is also overwritten, and if we know the environment that changes the motion state, we can parse that layer of overwritten information." A photon has a basic property state at the beginning, and it can also be said that the photon has basic information at the beginning.

Due to the influence of the environment, the property state of the photon changes. At this point, the basic information carried by the photons is overwritten.

If you know the factors of environmental influence, you can deduce the basic property state of the photon. This means that the basic information carried by the photon can be known by analyzing the basic property state of the photon.

In fact, this principle is used in proton photography projects. When its photons fly through the environment, their properties will change accordingly, which also records information about the surrounding environment.

The photon then flies into the proton and is tied up by the proton. Although the photon enters the proton, its property state changes.

When you know the property state of the proton at this time, the property state of the photon. It can analyze the property state of the photon before it enters the proton, and naturally it can also parse the information carried by the photon.

In this case, if you know the last property state of the photon, you can know the environmental factors that change each time the property state changes.

The multi-layered information carried by the photons will be parsed layer by layer. In this way, it is natural to be able to parse the initial property state of the photon, that is, the basic information carried by the photon at the beginning.

If you look at it this way, you can trace the origin of the universe. Some people may say that the environmental factors that change the state of the photon property can be known, especially the change of the photon property state many times, which means that the information carried by the photon has been overwritten many times.

In this way, how is it possible to resolve the most basic property state of the photon. In fact, this can be analyzed continuously and repeatedly.

Create countless groups of environmental factors in the virtual universe. Use these environmental factors to crack constantly.

It's pretty much a codebreaker, and that's the exhaustive method. Keep trying. As long as the computing power is sufficient, there is always some useful information that can be analyzed.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to parse the initial basic property state of a photon. Of course, such an approach requires a huge amount of computing power.

New models of environmental factors are constantly being built. Anyway, that's a direction.
