Chapter 516 The most expensive in history

Jiang Chanji and Zixuan fell into a brief silence in the bedroom. Outside, Aunt Wenhua was making the final preparations for dinner, placing spoons, chopsticks and other utensils on the dining table. Jiang Chanji couldn't hold back when he floated in.

"Yeah, why make it so secretive..." He echoed thoughtfully.

"Can you stop being so perfunctory? Don't want to eat yet!" Zixuan was too familiar with the details of his expression and his habitual small movements, so he could tell at a glance that he was distracted.

"... Nothing, I was just thinking... By the way, where is this hydraulic lifting device? Why didn't I see it in the laboratory?" He tried to bring his attention back.

"Do you need to ask? The hydraulic lifting device, as the name suggests, if it was you, where would you put it? Of course it is under the circular pipe of the collider. Of course you can't see it under the floor!" Zixuan was helpless and angry Throwing him with a pillow, he caught it.

When he put the pillow back on the bed with a grin, she continued, "But there are still traces to follow. If you look carefully, you will see a slight seam at the connection between the base of the pipe and the floor—in other words, the base is not the same. Instead of being placed on the floor, it is sinking into the floor, which means there are other structures under the floor!"

"I noticed this detail before, but I didn't think about it deeply at the time. I thought it was to prevent the floor from sinking due to long-term heavy pressure, which would affect the accuracy of the pipe connection, so I made an additional load-bearing structure underneath, but the hydraulic pressure The lifting device is definitely not just for weight bearing, there is no similar hydraulic lifting device in any other collider."

"I see...Then what do you think the hydraulic lifting device is for? Or, what can it be used for? I'm afraid it's not for the convenience of maintaining the pipeline?"

He felt that Zixuan specially called him over to talk about this matter, which proved that she already had a rough guess, so there was no need to guess charades, because such high-tech things can never be expected to call him over to discuss together Bar?He can't make any constructive comments.

"Look at this." Zixuan rummaged through the cabinet and found a plate of mosquito coils. There are still a lot of mosquitoes in this kind of low-rise apartment in summer, so mosquito coils must always be prepared.

"Think of it as the pipe of a circular collider." She broke off a coil of the mosquito coil, placed it flat on the table, and pressed one end with both hands so that the two ends were butted together to form an approximate circle.

Jiang Chanji nodded, this is very vivid.

"The collider is connected by sections of metal pipes. Each section of the pipe has a certain arc and is placed on the same horizontal plane. When spliced ​​together, it happens to be a ring... But if you start from a certain section of the pipe, the left end The right end remains unchanged, the right end is raised by 1 mm, and then the second connected pipe is raised by 1 mm on the left end, and 2 mm on the right end...such a length of pipe is raised at a fixed rate in turn, what will happen?" She looked at him .

"Uh... If the elevation goes on like this, the first section of pipe and the last section of pipe will be misaligned, right? The height of the last section of pipe will be higher than the first section of pipe, and they won't be able to connect into a circle..." He looked bewildered. , I don’t know if I made a mistake.

"That's right, that's it."

Zixuan pressed the two hands of the mosquito coil, one hand did not move, but still pressed one end on the table, and the fingers of the other hand picked up the other end of the mosquito coil, "from a circle to a spiral."

"...But this way, there is no way to collide..." He stared blankly at the mosquito coils.

"There is no way to collide, and a large number of high-energy particles will spew out from the raised end." Seeing that he still didn't understand, Zixuan said simply: "In this way, it has changed from a civilian circular particle collider to a spiral particle collider." Accelerated particle cannon! The function of the hydraulic lifting device is to weaponize the collider!"

Jiang Chanji was dumbfounded, his head seemed to have been hit by a ten-ton truck, and even the smell of the pie outside was temporarily forgotten.

Zixuan let go of her hand, and slapped the raised end back on the table, returning to the original appearance of the mosquito coil, but the scene just now has been deeply imprinted in Jiang Chanji's mind.

"Who is this thing...weapon... used to hit?" He stammered, although he had vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.

After the secret was revealed, Zixuan felt a lot more relaxed.

"I said before that many years ago, a scientist accidentally put his head into the pipeline of the collider, and was hit by a high-energy particle, which caused him to suffer severe burns on the head, but it was not fatal, and this person is still alive. It's been a long time." She said, "The name 'Spiral Accelerated Particle Cannon' sounds bluffing, but it's basically useless when used to attack people. It's better to stab it with a knife. There is only one target for this thing. , that is... an entity that is also composed of microscopic particles."

Angel of Light.

Jiang Chanji's guess was confirmed, and his heart skipped a beat with mixed feelings.

Ever since he guessed that one of the purposes of the suzerain to look for the reincarnation of the Malizhitian Bodhisattva was to save his life in front of the angel of light, he felt that the suzerain could consider this extreme situation. , there is no reason not to leave behind, but he feels that there is really nothing that can threaten the Angel of Light, and it is good to save his life.

Now he finally understands that he still underestimated the Headmaster, she is not just content to save her life.

No wonder Zixuan was so serious about it, she didn't hesitate to cheat No. 33 and Chen Yiyi away, and chose to talk to Arabella alone when Arabella, who could hear the lie, was away... This is really a shocking secret!

For a child like Zixuan, no matter how smart she is, IQ is not equal to EQ. She must have felt uneasy after discovering this shocking secret. She didn't know whether she should expose this secret. Choose a trustworthy person to share the secret with and then place the blame on that person.

Out of her mouth, into his ears, must not be known by a third party, let alone conveyed remotely through Fu Su.

"Can this spiral particle cannon... kill the Angel of Light?" he asked.

"It's hard to say." Zixuan shook her head, "Do you know why the scientist who stuck his head into the collider didn't die?"

"...Isn't it because high-energy particles can't kill people?" He wondered.

"Of course not. That power is deadly enough. Although the power is not particularly exaggerated, it is basically the same as the kinetic energy of a baseball dropped on the head from a tall building, and it's not just a baseball, it's a bunch of baseballs. Crackling all over the head, it's hard to bear even with a helmet on." She still shook her head.

Now Jiang Chanji was even more confused, saying she was the one who couldn't kill people, and she was the one who could kill people, making him at a loss as to what to do.

"Stupid! What I'm talking about is that it can kill people in theory. In theory, the pipeline should be evacuated. If high-energy particles hit the human body without hindrance in the vacuum, it will be fatal, but the theory is the theory. When the scientist put his head into the pipe last time, the air also entered the pipe, so the energy of the particles was greatly weakened by the air. Most of the particles first collided with the air molecules before hitting him. Being hit directly by a bullet, but the bullet hitting the wall first, and then being hit by the ricochet that bounced off, it can't be compared with a direct hit."

One word awakened the dreamer, and Jiang Chanji suddenly realized that he had heard this story more than once, but he never thought that when that fool put his head into the pipe, the pipe would no longer be a vacuum, thus saving the dog's life.

"We are surrounded by air. The high-energy particles spewed out of the spiral accelerated particle cannon will also be greatly weakened in the air. Most of the energy will be lost by the air before hitting the target, and this is inevitable. Therefore, two reasonable conjectures can be drawn: first, if the high-energy particle cluster hits the Angel of Light, it probably won't die, and in the best case, it will only be seriously injured; second, the effective range of the particle cannon is worrying, even if it is adjusted to At the maximum power, I estimate that it can shoot two or three kilometers at most, and it may not even kill flies two or three kilometers away."

Zixuan snapped her fingers and said.

Jiang Chanji worked hard to digest the information.

"Chanji! Have you finished talking? The rice is ready, it will be cold if you don't come out to eat!" Aunt Wenhua urged outside.

"Right away!" Zixuan shouted.

"A few minutes soon?" Aunt Wenhua asked again.

"Oh! I'm so bored! Immediately!" Zixuan shouted impatiently.

"Huh! I didn't ask you to eat again! I have eaten good food at school every day, and I have long looked down on the food cooked at home!" Aunt Wenhua complained.

Jiang Chanji now rarely felt that even the taste of leek and egg pie was not delicious, so he said to the door: "Aunt Wenhua, you can eat first, don't worry about me, I am not afraid of cold."

After sorting out his thoughts, he thought of a question, "Wait a minute, if the collider is lifted up like this, can it be lowered back after use?"

"It is possible, but it is useless just to lower it back. After such a lift, the airtight structure of the entire pipeline may be severely damaged. Even if the collider is not completely scrapped, it will at least have to be shut down for a year or so for overhaul." Zixuan He said regretfully, "This thing is basically a one-off, and this may be the most expensive shot in history..."

"Uh..." Jiang Chan thought to himself, don't say things that are so easy to misunderstand.

"In the final analysis, it was originally a collider. If it is changed to a particle cannon, there is no way to damage the internal structure. It was not designed as a particle cannon from the beginning..." he said.

"No, it was designed like this from the beginning, and it wasn't changed later. If there is no accident, it will always be a collider. In case of accident, at the most critical moment, we can only... make a choice." Zixuan corrected, "This is for concealment. Otherwise, if you are the Angel of Light, and you hear that there is something that can hurt you, would you still come here? The effect is only by surprise! If you want to blame, you can only blame the Angel of Light too Invincible!"

Yes, it's just that the Angel of Light is too invincible, so invincible that no one else can do it if they want to die with her. Both the suzerain and the head of the school are extremely afraid of this. There should not be absolutely invincible things in this world, even now. It is a friendly side, so we must be prepared for unexpected changes... In contrast, the head of the school may prefer to continue to immerse himself in the world of pure mathematics.

He sighed: "Anyway, the head of the academy must have made such preparations because he was worried that the Angel of Light would lose control. At least it is an insurance measure. I hope it won't be used..."

"Of course it's best if you don't use it, but it may not work when you need it." Zixuan played with the mosquito coil.

"It doesn't work? Why?"

He thought to himself, if the dean is not sure, how could he spend so much trouble?
"You have to know that although the high-energy particles spewing out from the last section of the pipe are blocked by the air and cannot reach the speed of light, they are at least unimaginably high-speed. The problem is that the mouth of the pipe is fixed and cannot be aimed at by moving left and right. , which means that we can only wait and wait until the Angel of Light passes in front of the muzzle before firing. Due to the charging problem of the super capacitor, only one cannon can be fired in a short period of time, but why does the Angel of Light pass right in front of the muzzle? Where did it go? I’m afraid someone has to lead it there!”

"This is simply a suicide mission! As long as there is a difference of one-thousandth of a second, this person will either be chased and hacked to death by the Angel of Light, or be half-dead by particle bombardment, and then hacked to death by the Angel of Light... unless This person just stood on the emission path of the particle cluster and stayed still, desperately dying to die with the Angel of Light."

Zixuan was so excited that she danced and crushed the mosquito coils, her voice was a little high, Jiang Chanji hurriedly motioned her to keep her voice down so that Aunt Wenhua outside could hear her.

But he finally understood that the most expensive cannon in history is not easy to fire, and it is impossible to aim in advance. Once the critical moment of the decisive battle with the Angel of Light is reached, someone must be responsible for leading the Angel of Light to the extension of the gun's muzzle. Online, and this person basically has no chance of surviving, but if he doesn't do this, more than one person will die. Thinking of the tragedy at the foot of Mount Ararat, and this is a densely populated area, when the time comes, use the "corpse cross" "Everywhere" is not enough to describe.

Even if such a high price is paid, the Angel of Light may not perish.

What can I say?It can only be said that the Angel of Light is too stupid, and the person who can come up with this kind of countermeasure is also too stupid. This kind of fairy game is not something that mortals should participate in. Just applaud and shout 666 from the side.

He really hoped that Zixuan hadn't told him this secret. He knew too many secrets, and the psychological burden was too heavy!
Knowing that the dean has a big move to fight back from the Jedi, he was not relieved, because he felt that the Angel of Light was also quite pitiful. She was not born in this world out of her own will, nor did she change out of her own will. To be so invincible, her invincibility has a price, and the price is loneliness, which is unimaginable for human beings.

Whether it's for the Angel of Light or the collider built with huge manpower and material resources, he doesn't want to cause trouble for both sides. The transcendent should still value peace, and it would be great to eat and drink happily together.
