Chapter 543: High-Speed Particle Collider
Two weeks have passed, and according to the reports of wizards in the north, the space-time node is still in a closed state, and there are no anomalies for the time being.
This undoubtedly meant good news, Raphael had succeeded in delaying the necromancers as he had expected, buying them enough time.
It took the council three and a half months to build a three-kilometer-long protective bunker with magic, block the entrance and exit of the valley, and mobilize more than 300,000 troops to garrison the north, bringing all kinds of new weapons to prepare for the invasion at any time.
Preparations for war in foreign lands have also reached their final stage.
Nearly seventy percent of the council's wizards had already arrived at the station outside the valley, and a huge protective barrier enveloped the entire valley, and a full fifteen sun cannons pointed in the direction of the space-time gate - this was one of the council's biggest hole cards.
Each Sun Flame Cannon can unleash [Atomic Breath] three times at its limit, and the power is enough to make any Legend scareless.
Even if several speakers of the parliament work together to enter this valley, I am afraid that they may not be able to get out.
But their opponent this time is the Necromantic Lord who has ruled and devoured several worlds, an old god, a high-dimensional life form beyond cognition, and no one dares to say that such an arrangement can stop the other party.
"It's a pity that the time is still too short, and I can't transfer all the magic crystal cannons and armored vehicles." Sanchez, who was in charge of the dispatcher, said regretfully.
Although the council had the railroad repaired early, the train's capacity was limited, and three months was far from enough, and in the end Sanchez even suggested that he should wait a little longer.
In view of the difference in the time flow between the two places, as long as Raphael and the others held out for two days, they were able to get another half a month to prepare.
Although Lynn also felt that time was a little short, after thinking for a while, she still shook her head. "Master Raphael and the rest of the wizards who have entered the foreign lands have done what they have to do, and the rest is what we should solve."
"And other places also need to be protected, in case we concentrate all our forces here, and the other party suddenly attacks from other space-time gates, the consequences will be serious." Lynn said solemnly.
Sanchez thought about the scene, and immediately shut down, and then complained about the huge laboratory that Lynn had set up in the North, where more than a third of the council's laborers wasted their energy.
Originally, Harrov also asked him to send people to hollow out the entire valley and make an oversized trap, but it has only been half completed so far.
"By the way, how's my particle collision lab going? Is it done? Lynn asked expectantly.
"It was built ten days ago, didn't you already send those alchemists to confirm it?" Sanchez replied puzzled.
The lab that Lynn needed covered an area of several kilometers, and the workload was no less than that of a protective wall, and it was so mysterious that he hadn't even been told what it was about.
"That's because building a site is only the first step, and as for what it's used for, you'll find out later!" Lynn said mysteriously.
Sánchez had to hold back his curiosity, because they were going to open the space-time gate and let Lydia and the others enter it to pick up Master Raphael's exotic exploration team, which would make them unable to leave.
The wait didn't last long, and a silver-white fighter plane soon appeared in the distant sky.
Presumably to take care of the two airships that assisted in the operation in the rear, Lydia did not turn on the supersonic mode, but even so, the extreme speed and beautiful appearance made Sanchez, who saw the jet fighter for the first time, smack.
With a roar, the fighter plane completed the slowdown and landing operation very smoothly, and stopped on the specially built runway on the outside with two even larger airships.
Dennis and the others immediately stepped forward to do the final checks, and replaced the magic stone that drove the internal alchemy circle with a new one to ensure the supply of energy outside the domain.
"Looks like you're getting better at flying, Lydia!" Lynn stepped forward, looked at the halfling girl with the windshield open, and said with a smile.
In the first test flight before, although Lydia performed very well, whether it was taking off, landing or cruising flight, she could still see the sense of rustiness.
"Of course!" Lydia said proudly that for the past two weeks, she has been practicing ten hours of ultra-high-intensity flying almost every day.
This is already very exaggerated, because in the case of flying at three times the speed of sound, the body needs to bear a lot of pressure, if it were not for Lydia has become a wizard, and the halfling has a strong physique, I am afraid that it would not be able to hold on for a long time.
Even so, after each training session, you need to drink potions to heal your body's injuries.
Lynn turned his head and asked several great wizards in charge of detecting the space-time gate to open the closed space-time node, and then looked at Lydia again, and reminded him solemnly.
"Be careful when you go in, Lydia! Entering the Exotic Land will directly interrupt the link to the magic web, and then you will have to rely on yourself! ”
"If you find that you can't do anything, quit as soon as possible, and your safety is just as important, understand?" Lynn continued.
"Don't worry, promise to complete the mission!" Lydia grinned and gave a military salute.
Lynn shook her head and didn't say anything more, handing over the three alchemy creations to the halfling girl and explaining their effects.
Since she can't connect to the magic net outside the domain, Lydia, who originally relied on the magic web link to perform detection spells, loses the ability to locate enemies in the sky.
These alchemy creations were able to perform specific spells in place of the magic net, and one of them was used to help Lydia find Raphael's people in a foreign land.
Lydia put away the three alchemy artifacts, asked how to use them, and then put down the windshield of the fighter and prepared to go.
The closed space-time gate had also been opened, and the diameter was getting larger and larger, and soon it exceeded forty meters, and a large amount of magic energy gushed out from the surging space-time node, and a small amount of sand and stone was swept in along with it.
Lydia pressed the switch on the plane's thrusters and shouted loudly.
"Charge!"
A long tail flame flew out from the huge vent in the rear, driving the fighter plane to rush towards the surging space-time gate in front, and the two airships next to it also staggered and floated into the space-time gate.
"Let's hope everything goes well." Sanchez sighed under his breath as he looked at the airship that had disappeared from sight.
Once inside the space-time gate, the connection between the two worlds was severed, and all they could do now was wait.
Lynn quickly turned her gaze back and interrupted. "Let's go, take me to the new lab!"
It's enough for the other people here to watch, no more of them, no less of them, not to mention that Lydia's rescue mission doesn't know how long it will take, if it's an hour, then the time to get here is a full seven hours.
There's no time to waste!
Sanchez nodded, and led Lynn towards the outside of the valley, where the Collision Lab was not too far from the fortress.
First, it is to facilitate the transfer of personnel, and secondly, it is convenient to monitor the movement of the space-time gate by placing the laboratory here.
Five minutes later, the two of them stepped into the huge laboratory together, just like the outside world, the interior of the laboratory was very rudimentary and empty, but the huge circular device in the center immediately attracted Sanchez's attention.
It was a long, almost endless pipe, shrouded in rings of Mithril that stretched to the end of the field of vision, each of which was inscribed with dense alchemical runes.
"How's that, is this thing working?" Lynn looked at several alchemists who were busy with their work and asked.
"According to your orders, the electromagnetic drive circle has been set up, but it has not been experimented yet!" The alchemist at the head replied.
"Is this thing used to fire a cannon?" Sanchez asked curiously.
In his impression, the use of electromagnetically driven circles is generally to fire electromagnetic weapons.
After the improvement of many great wizards in the Magic Research Institute, the latest type of railgun in the current council can easily reach more than fifteen times the speed of sound, and the destructive power is very terrifying, and it can directly penetrate the steel plate with a thickness of more than half a meter, and hit the flesh with absolutely no bones.
But even so, the orbit used for the launch was only about seven meters long, and this time Lynn was actually so tall in such a big array, an electromagnetic acceleration device that was several kilometers long, and the shells fired should have such terrifying speed and destructive power.
Lynn shook her head amusedly, then explained. "It's an electromagnetic cyclotron that's used to accelerate particles!"
"Accelerating particles?" Sanchez frowned in confusion.
"Not bad!" Lynn nodded. "Now that all we know about the internal structure of atoms comes from guesswork and the results of alpha scattering experiments, the easiest way to verify whether this conclusion is correct is to knock them open and see what's inside!"
"It's just that the atoms carry negative charges at the same time, so they will repel each other when they get close, which requires extremely fast speed to overcome this repulsion between atoms and let them collide smoothly." Lynn explained.
Of course, his real purpose was not to study the inner workings of atoms, but to find antimatter!
Use high-velocity particles to knock elements apart and see what's inside...... Lynn's whimsy made Sanchez smack, but it sounded like it was feasible.
Lynn doesn't talk nonsense, when even if the field is expanded, because the time to build this experimental field is so short, and even the vacuum pipe can't be made, then it needs to replace some of the effects of the instrument with magic.
The alchemists immediately got busy, using their magic to control a stream of particles into the orbit of the accelerator.
Just a second later, Lynn activated the switch with the mage's hand, and under the powerful electromagnetic force, the particle stream began to accelerate in circles over a multi-kilometer-long orbit.
With each half revolution, its velocity increases by 1,000 kilometers per second, and the increased velocity causes the particle stream to shift slightly from its trajectory, like a spiral spiral, and its speed becomes faster and faster.
At such speeds, as long as you can hit, there is a great chance that you will knock the nucleus away!
Lynn focused all his attention on the stream, but the speed was beyond the limits of his perceptual abilities, and even if he was engrossed, he could only detect a trace of the trail of the stream.
After 50 circles, their speed has exceeded 30,000 kilometers per second, which is one-tenth of the speed of light, which is already close to the limit speed in their range.
The stream of particles also successfully reached the orbit of the target, and almost in 10,000th of a second, the two staggered at a very fast speed!
Lynn's mind tensed, and then he shook his head in disappointment. "It's a pity that I missed it."
"Again, this time with double the particle stream!" Lynn glanced at the alchemists and continued.
The alchemists immediately did so, increasing the number of particle beams to four thousand, but even so, if they wanted to hit the target at high speed, they still needed to rely on some luck, after all, both were too small!
Fortunately, capturing atoms is not a difficult task for wizards, and they have more than enough materials to experiment.
Lynn was also very patient, and for more than four hours in a row, nearly thirty failures did not make him waver.
However, for Sanchez and others, who were already uncertain, it seemed a little tormenting, and they even began to wonder whether the method of knocking atoms apart by impact was really feasible.
At this moment, Lynn's face suddenly changed, and he quickly focused his field on the impact point.
Sanchez's face also showed a look of deep consternation, although his perception ability was much weaker than Lynn's, but he used some tricks, which was to focus on those targets.
And now one of those targets disappeared from his perception.
The alchemists present were also staring at the impact point, although the microscopic particles could not be seen by the naked eye at all, and even the perception of legendary wizards was difficult to detect, but Lynn deliberately arranged a cloud room around the impact point!
Just as when the alpha radiation particles were monitored, the bursting high-velocity particles shot into the dense water vapor, pulling out a trail of fog that was clearly visible...... It was as if a flower of mist bloomed in the void.
