Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Zero Element and the Neutron Star

"Where to start...... Huo Tongqing thought for a moment, and then asked: "Wang Qi, when you were in the Immortal Courtyard, you should have learned about the 'physical nature' of the Snow Country, right?"

Wang Qi nodded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The way of info physical properties, that is, chemistry, is also a compulsory content in the fairy temple, and it cannot be escaped.

"The physical properties of a single element are determined by the electrons in its outermost shell. If the outermost electron occupies the orbital and the outer shell of the atom is stable, then the physical properties of the element are stable. Changes in physical properties, in general, refer to changes in molecular structure. And the change in the molecular structure is the exchange and change of the outer electrons of the two atoms......" Huo Tongqing compared a few examples: "You can understand this, right?"

Wang Qi nodded. These were the simplest things deduced from the Heavenly Order, how could he not know it?

"But ah, Element Zero seems to be challenging these assumptions. Huo Tongqing said: "This matter is also being debated within the Burning Gold Valley. If the battle is over, maybe even the Senin textbook will have to be revised. ”

Wang Qi immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

If textbooks such as Chinese and history can be changed at will, then textbooks such as mathematics, physics, and biology cannot be changed by anyone. Even the most terrible dictator can only change the specific names of some of the terms in these textbooks, but not the essence of them, such as defining "quark" as "quark" or the like.

Unless this dictator doesn't mind all his technicians being wasted.

This is best illustrated by the Soviet Chief Scientist Trofim Dönysovich Lysenko, who single-handedly destroyed the entire Soviet biological community and agricultural bioengineering.

And when the academic debate affects textbooks, it is almost epoch-making.

As far as mathematics is concerned, new theories in general have the most influence on graduate students' textbooks. Many great discoveries in the field of calculus have influenced undergraduate textbooks. Anything that can be used to rewrite textbooks in middle schools can be called a "math crisis" - such as imaginary numbers, set theory lamps, etc. As for primary school textbooks...... Wang Qi really can't imagine any kind of innovation that could stop teaching Euclidean geometry in primary school textbooks.

If you want to rewrite the textbook of Senwon......

"The definition of the foundation must be changed...... It's really ruthless. Wang Qi sighed.

Huo Tongqing shook his head: "Why do I think you seem to be more excited...... Michido Wang, do you really realize the seriousness of the matter?"

"Well, if I think so...... The single atom of the zero element should be regarded as a strange atom that only exists stably in a strong aura environment...... Huh, can it be considered a strange atom?" Wang Qi said, and he was confused.

"Look. Huo Tongqing spread his hands: "No one can give it an accurate definition, because no matter how it is defined, it involves a lot of things - then again, the new concept of exotic atoms should not be used." There's no definite number for this thing yet. ”

Exotic atoms usually refer to atoms that are different from ordinary atoms, which are composed of three long-lived particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons, but exotic atoms are composed of electromagnetic interactions by replacing one or more of these three stable particles with other particles. For example, the muon couple, which is composed of antimuons and electrons, the electron couple, which is composed of orthography and electrons, and the antihydrogen, which is composed of positrons and antiprotons, are all exotic atoms that have been identified by geoscientists.

This thing is usually associated with concepts like "antimatter".

From this point of view, it does not seem so appropriate to say that element zero is a strange atom. Because it doesn't have subatomic particles other than protons, neutrons, and electrons — and of course it doesn't have protons or electrons. It also seems to possess the extremely short-lived and unstable characteristics of the strange atom, but it can exist stably in a pure high aura environment.

And after all, the concept of "exotic atoms" does not stand up to scrutiny in this universe. Who can say that in a low or high Reiki environment, there will be no other charged particles that are stably bound to the atomic shell like electrons?

"It's dangerous. Wang Qi looked at Huo Tongqing: "This carelessness is the loss of the Dao heart......

"Daoists who study the elements may be more affected. However, I am a researcher of refining materials, and you are a researcher of crystals, so it should be fine...... bar. Huo Tongqing was not particularly sure of what he said. Then, he pointed to the heavens: "Have you ever read the things of the Xuanxing View?"

Because the truth of the sea of stars is too cruel, for ordinary people, the information of the Xuanxing view is absolutely blocked. Huo Tongqing's question is actually equivalent to "do you have permission".

Wang Qi nodded.

"Does the neutron star know?"

Wang Qi nodded again: "A high-density celestial body produced by massive stars after a supernova explosion, with extremely fast rotation and extremely dense intensity. ”

How dense are neutron stars? Between 80,000 and 2 billion tons per cubic centimeter.

That is to say, it is equivalent to stuffing 800,000 to 200,000 tons of giant ships into a small dice.

Under this pressure, the atomic shell bursts, the electrons will combine with the protons to become neutrons, and the entire star will become a mass of matter composed of neutrons, which is mixed with a small amount of electrons and protons.

"In neutron stars, strong forces can combine neutrons into clusters to form atomic nuclei. Neutrons can be exchanged between multiple atomic nuclei, and can this neutron exchange be used as the basis for the change of physical properties?" Huo Tongqing asked: "Just like the physical property change on Shenzhou is completed by exchanging electrons, on the neutron star, can the exchange of neutrons also cause some kind of physical property change?"

Wang Qi was stunned: "But this kind of nucleus does not have outer electrons...... How do you cause this change in physical properties?"

"About three months ago, Tianlingling published a paper in which I thanked you for using your theory. Huo Tongqing focused his fingers on the stack of papers in front of Wang Qi: "They still use your arithmetic." In their theory, the physical properties of blood substances, i.e., a certain kind of living macromolecules, are not determined solely by their elements. Even if it is exactly the same element, it can be arranged in different ways to show different physical properties—and this physical property is considered by them to be the answer to the mystery of blood, growth, and life. ”

Wang Qileng took a few seconds to get the "kink" asked by Chen Feng a few months ago out of his mind. Later, he followed up on this matter, but he was also concerned about the Wu knotted rope notation method and the Wu language, and he didn't know much about Ai Qinglan's research.

"Mr. Huo is also interested in this field?"

Huo Tongqing said with a smile: "The physical properties of living beings [organic chemistry] are also part of physical properties. I heard that the paper introduced an amazing arithmetic concept that could be used to deal with complex molecular formulas, so many people exchanged it. ”

Wang Qi smiled a little ill-intentioned and embarrassed: "There are a lot of people...... It was for the most complex living molecules—at least the molecules had to grow long enough to knot. ”

"I didn't understand the arithmetic. Huo Tongqing was sullen when he said this. He continued: "It's actually the same in a neutron star. Even if they are pure neutron nuclei without shells, they can form special physical bonds that can only exist on neutron stars through neutron as a hub. ”

"Furthermore, if it is true, as some hypotheses suggest, that atom has an element that forms an electric charge, then under the strong gravitational pull and high aura of that neutron star, that 'element' is pulled out of the nucleus, so that the shells of the two atoms are tightly combined, and that can also form a monoatomic molecule - I say you can understand that, right?"

Wang Qi nodded. Even if there is only a single element, it can show different physical properties. For example, oxygen atoms, oxygen molecules, and ozone molecules have different chemical properties.

"On a neutron star, these seeds can show so many changes. Should these be regarded as special physical changes within the same element, or should they be regarded as changes in the physical properties of different elements?" Huo Tongqing asked: "If the zero element is defined as a single element, then the neutron star has to be regarded as all kinds of complex changes between the molecules and isotopes of this single element, and the physical property changes must be redefined. Other than that...... Can a sufficiently dense neutron star be considered a zero-element atom......"

Speaking of this, Huo Tongqing sighed: "The water is very deep. Don't just drip it. ”

Wang Qi shook his head: "To be honest, what I'm interested in is neutrons, and zero element interests me because it's purely composed of neutrons. ”

"There's also some refining involved...... Oh no, that's also a secret, I can't say. Huo Tongqing shook his head.

"Still. Wang Qi raised his head: "If I think it's good to count the neutron star as a special environment, right? We don't need to face that situation at all......

"Well, in this regard, Mr. Feng also has a certain amount of research, so you'd better discuss it with Cangsheng Guoshou. ”

After Huo Tongqing said this, he began to arrange for his disciples to verify and make an attitude of "sending off guests".

Wang Qi and Zhao Qingtan left Huo Tongqing's empirical department. After only a few steps, Wang Qi stopped: "No......"

Zhao Qingtan was a little puzzled: "What's the matter, junior brother, it's not that you forgot something, right?"

"Ask Mr. Feng...... Huo Tongqing, what is he hinting at me?"

"What did he just say...... The way of living beings, neutron stars, and body refining exercises, ask Teacher Feng about ......"

Wang Qi muttered again and again, and took a few steps forward. After that, he suddenly stepped back and said "it"!

Zhao Qingtan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Let's not have another batch of 'companions'......" Wang Qi looked at the sun and muttered, "This is really ......" (to be continued.) )
