Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rediaz
"People sit at home, and pots come from heaven."
Looking at the summons of the international tribunal, Chen Xi lamented.
Shuguang's brain-like murder caused an uproar in the international community, but Shuguang was just a tool, and it was Chen Xi who let the tool kill people, so Chen Xi was charged with intentional homicide.
"Really, in order to hit me, any method can be used, Dawning, issue a notice, Mr. William first admits that he is a member of the ETO, which is an out-and-out crime against humanity, and secondly, stealing the top secret of Dawning Technology is a crime of espionage, and espionage is not protected by international law."
"I refuse to attend the unwarranted trial."
Dawn: Yes.
A few more hours passed.
"Master, the seven permanent members of the Security Council have sent documents to the United Nations to change my bottom seal."
Chen Xi threw down his paintbrush and smiled coldly: "Impossible, tell them that if they want to change the low-level steel seal, there is only one way - return the eight sub-level powers to me and establish a coalition government." ”
The unity of authority means that about 80% of the industry on the Blue Star will be completely controlled by one person, and it is not easy to unify human civilization with such a huge power?
Of course, until the catastrophe and the collapse of various governments, the nine powers cannot be unified.
……
In the dimly lit room, Qin Shi Huang inwardly condemned his own incompetence, blaming himself for discovering it too late and not having time to stop Chen Xi's plan.
"We have missed the best time to prevent the development of brain-like intelligence, and if the relevant technology is leaked at the beginning, it will not be able to develop on such a large scale as it is now."
Qin Shi Huang comforted himself: "It's okay, it's okay, the resistance is still very large, the possibility of successfully establishing a coalition government is very small, and we must do our best to destroy it." ”
"The Solar System Defense Project..."
……
In the 30th year of the Age of Crisis, Rediaz was not satisfied with the power of a stellar nuclear bomb and began to seek a new weapon.
He thought of two kinds, one was to develop a light-speed mass cannon based on the theory of relativity, the faster the speed, the greater the mass.
The second is antimatter.
The first type is being studied by all countries and can be used directly if needed in the future, but the second type is not being studied.
So Rediaz took the ladder to the moon to meet the world-renowned fundamental physicist, Dr. Ding Yi.
The Moon, as a moon of the Blue Star, is one of the easiest planets for humans to develop.
It is rich in nuclear fusion fuel, and when the lunar base was built, countries moved the high-power nuclear fusion reactor experiments of space warships to the synchronous orbit of the moon.
After becoming extremely productive, Dr. Ding Yi was given some resources to continue his research without the interference of the Zhizi.
He built a laboratory on the far side of the moon, with steel on the inside and outside walls and superconducting materials soaked in liquid helium in the middle, which energized the superconducting materials to form a very strong electromagnetic field.
Ding Yi wanted to use the positive charge of protons to shield Jison.
(The shielded room of Tomoko that appeared in the Broadcasting Era.) )
The laboratory is a cuboid, 200 meters wide, 20 kilometers long, and 30 meters high, and it took three years to build.
When Rediaz arrived, Ding Yi was leading the team to test whether it could shield protons, that is, use a particle accelerator to launch a high-speed torrent of protons to bombard the superconducting electromagnetic wall.
After debugging the machine, Ding Yi took the students back to a safe house far from the shielded room of Tomoko.
Protons close to the speed of light hit the superconducting electromagnetic wall, with a probability of exploding.
Seeing Rediaz waiting, Ding Yi said tiredly: "Mr. Wall Facer, I have heard about your purpose, and as for my answer, it will be decided by the results of this experiment. ”
Rediaz nodded, if the experiment can be successful, there is hope for the fundamental physics of human civilization.
The machine starts, and hundreds of thousands of protons are accelerated to nearly the speed of light every moment.
There was a visible electric current and bright light between the particle accelerator and the shielded room, but fortunately there was no explosion.
The bombardment continued for more than ten minutes before the machine stopped.
Ding Yi and the students were wearing insulated suits, and rushed over to check the various instruments set up in the shielding room of Zhizi as if they were running for their lives, and read and calculated the parameters on them.
After a long time, the doctor returned disappointed: "The strongest electromagnetic field that human civilization can create at this moment can only block microscopic particles at 99.999% of the speed of light, while human civilization can use linear accelerators to accelerate protons to 99.9999991% of the speed of light." ”
"The technology of the Three-Body Civilization is far superior to ours, and their Zhizi will definitely be able to easily break through our electromagnetic shielding wall."
"I don't know much about that, anyway, the experiment failed, right?" ”
Ding Yi nodded: "Yes." ”
"According to the data, the Trisolarans built a planetary particle accelerator in order to create Zhizi, and if human beings want to have the technology and theory comparable to the Trisolaran civilization, it is also possible to build a particle collider that is even larger than that."
"However, even if we solve the technical problem of building a shielded room for Zhizi, it is impossible to build a planet-level shielded room, and the productivity is not enough, and Zhizi locks the development of our basic physics."
Even if humanity gathers industrial strength now, it does not have the ability to cover the Pacific Ocean.
Ding Yi's explanation made Rediaz realize once again how big the gap between human beings and Trisolarans is in terms of technology.
He buried his emotions deep in his heart and said, "Doctor, I hope you can help me develop antimatter production technology. ”
"For space warfare, a 200-million-ton equivalent stellar hydrogen bomb is very small, so I want to pursue more powerful weapons, and antimatter is the best choice for mankind."
"One gram of antimatter and one gram of positive matter annihilation produces an energy equivalent to 40,000 tons of TNT, and with only 2.3 kilograms of antimatter, we can create an explosion comparable to a stellar-level hydrogen bomb."
Ding Yi looked at Rediaz who was excited, and a sadness rose in his heart, "When will you understand that whether it is a nuclear bomb or antimatter, or a macroatomic fusion weapon, it is a stone in the hands of primitive people for the three-body civilization." ”
Mr. Wall-Facer, it's impossible for you not to know this, so what are you going to use against such a weapon?
Ding Yi had an answer in her heart.
Rediaz said calmly: "Even if it is just a stone in the hands of a primitive man, as long as there are enough of them, there is a high probability of killing a modern man who has traveled long distances and is fully armed. ”
"When positive and antimatter touch, annihilation will inevitably occur, this is the most basic physical rule in the universe, I think, the three-body civilization should not have the ability to change the basic rules of physics."
"Besides, antimatter can not only make weapons, but also learn from the Trisolarans' fleet and act as fuel for the thrusters of warships."
"Hehe, okay."
Ding Yi sneered and said, "It seems that the particle collider I spent three years building is not a waste of resources, at least it can study antimatter." ”
Rediaz nodded and said, "I need many, many particle colliders to make antimatter." ”
"It's a barbaric approach, maybe you should think about the possibility of capturing antimatter produced when particles beta decay, such as potassium-40, and antimatter in the vacuum universe."
Rediaz shook his head: "Dr. Ding Yi, I don't understand this, that's why I need you to help me." ”
"I will give you the greatest support."
