The road to technology

Chapter 390

If it is a planet, then some instruments and equipment can be placed on the surface of the planet or underground, which is no problem, because these equipment can operate normally.

Although the transformation capital ship of the Shenzhou civilization is as big as the moon, it is not a planet after all, and many of the equipment is on the spacecraft itself, and there is no problem with the placement of the equipment.

But planets are different. Planets are okay, but if it is a white dwarf or even a neutron star, it will be even more difficult.Take neutron star as an example, this kind of celestial body has extremely strong gravitational force, any equipment on its surface will be torn apart and then become neutron star matter, that is, degenerate neutron flow.

So it is not feasible to install equipment on its surface.

It is true that the Shenzhou civilization has the gravitational knot technology, but if you want to make a gravitational knot that can shield the gravitational force inside the neutron star, you must tie a knot in almost a Planck space. The Shenzhou civilization has not been able to micromanage the gravitational knot to this point kind of degree.

So now the only way Shenzhou Civilization can think of is to use the Great Unification Force. The small ball in front of Shui Wangqiu is the product of the mother box technology plus the Shenzhou Civilization Great Unification Technology. The state of the four forces is quite lower than the 3+1 form.

3 is the three kinds of strong, weak and electromagnetic forces that have been merged into the grand unified force, and 1 is the gravitation that is involved in it through the grand unified model.In theory, the force formed by this pattern can withstand the pressure of the neutron star.

From this point of view, it is true that this small ball is a weapon, more precisely, it is the core prototype of a weapon.

But Yue Yuanzhou actually knew that there were still many unresolved problems with this thing, such as how to put the ball into the planet.

Although the Shenzhou civilization can put this small ball inside the planet from the four-dimensional space, but imagine the difficulty.

For example, there is a circle on a piece of paper, and the circle is filled with black to represent a solid planet.Now the ball in front of Shui Wangqiu is equivalent to a hollow circle.

The most direct difficulty is how to put the hollow circle into the solid circle, and after putting it in, make sure that the hollow circle is still hollow instead of being filled with the black color of the solid ball.

Because this ball is made with deformation technology, Shui Wangqiu's idea is to make it smaller, put it in and make it bigger gradually, so that a space can be opened inside the planet.

This is the squeeze method he just mentioned.

But Yue Yuanzhou doesn't sound very reliable. After all, if you do this, you will shrink the ball to a very small point, and it will collapse. If it only shrinks to a certain extent, how will it be squeezed into it for so long? The problem of squeezing solid matter out of the way.

It’s okay if it’s ordinary matter, but if it’s placed in a neutron star, the difficulty is geometrically multiplied.

How to operate on a planet that rotates at an extreme speed, or to stop the rotation of the planet, how to stop the rotation of the planet, etc., are all difficult problems at the civilization level.

But even if the ball is successfully squeezed into the interior of the planet, the next problem is even greater, such as how to drive the planet, what weapons to use, and so on.

It is definitely impossible to put it on the surface of the planet, so all the equipment will be placed in the space that is supported, and the space must be large enough.

Yue Yuanzhou actually supports the development of any weapon, including transforming the planet into a battle star. Ordinary planets are of course useless, because a capital ship is stronger than ordinary planets, so the Shenzhou civilization was headed towards very extreme celestial bodies from the beginning.

It seems that the Shenzhou civilization has a soft spot for spheres.

Thinking of this, Yue Yuanzhou recalled how the Shenzhou civilization fell in love with the sphere step by step, and found out that it was his fault.

People make things in a square shape, such as the Rubik's Cube and mother boxes, but the Shenzhou civilization is better, everything is spherical.

All the capital ships in the past were balls, the astrocomputer was also a ball, the low-dimensional sophons and neutrons were still a ball, and the prototype of the weapon core floating in front of us is still a ball.

"Take it easy, things can't be done overnight."

As Yue Yuanzhou spoke, he raised his arm, and then the ball flew to his palm and was suspended. After scrutinizing it for a while, he changed the subject, "By the way, what did you know about the zero-point energy of the vacuum that I told you last time? No?"

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Shui Wangqiu was just about to sit down, but when he heard this sentence, he immediately stood up and said, "We have been researching this all the time, and currently believe that the energy source of vacuum zero-point energy is vacuum quantum fluctuations."

"anything else?"

"Even if the temperature drops to absolute zero, the particles are still vibrating, and this energy still exists. It must be vibrating, otherwise, once it stops, the position and dynamics of the particles can be accurately measured."

Yue Yuanzhou: "Huh?"

With this sound, Shui Wangqiu immediately understood what it meant. What he said had already been proven, and Yue Yuanzhou didn't have time to listen to him talk about it, so he thought about it: "Oh, the spontaneous fluctuation of quantum, there will always be virtual The energy contained in the creation and annihilation of particles is vacuum zero-point energy. By the way, some civilizations also call it cosmic energy.”

"Ah."

Yue Yuanzhou couldn't deny it, and then asked: "What about the Dirac Sea? What's the progress?"

"As far as we know, the Dirac sea is a sea of ​​negative energy particles composed of the zero-point energy of the quantum vacuum. In short, the countless electron-positron pairs produced by the annihilation of matter and antimatter are the so-called Dirac sea."

Yue Yuanzhou hummed again, and then followed Shui Wangqiu's words and said: "Electrons are a kind of boson, which obeys the Pauli exclusion principle, so your explanation can indeed explain the existence of positrons, and it is also a proven theory. And anti-bosons also exist here, and using quantum field theory to reinterpret the meaning of the Dirac equation can also solve the problems of anti-bosons and anti-fermions.”

Yue Yuanzhou paused when he said this, he cast a glance at Shui Wangqiu, and asked: "The above has been confirmed tens of thousands of years ago, but I want to know your explanations for other unknowns. For example At the bottom of Dirac’s Sea, how do you explain the statement that the vacuum has infinite energy?”

"This"

Shui Wangqiu didn't know how to answer for a while, because since Yue Yuanzhou gave the reminder, the Academy of Sciences has basically not made much progress in the research on the Dirac Sea and the vacuum zero-point energy, so now the Shenzhou civilization has mastered the vacuum zero-point energy. , but most scientists agree that this is already the maximum use of energy.

Shui Wangqiu was also like this at first, but he remembered what Yue Yuanzhou said at the time, and he also knew that the problem was not that simple, but the research on this aspect over the years made him feel that there was no way out.

"It seems that you are still good at studying the four fundamental forces!" Yue Yuanzhou sighed, and then threw the ball back to Shui Wangqiu.

Then he continued: "The engineering team said that the new universe will be connected soon. I have already let Wen Mang go, so you can go to his place and go to see the new universe together, see different civilizations, and experience some collisions of ideas. "

Shui Wangqiu nodded, concentrating on the study of the four fundamental forces was what he had been looking for all his life.

He was silent for a while before asking: "The true face of the Dirac Sea. The zero point of vacuum can be infinitely large. Leader, do you have an answer?"

"You're still very curious, not bad." Yue Yuanzhou said appreciatively,

He thought that Shui Wangqiu didn't ask. If he didn't ask this question, then the dean of the Academy of Sciences could be replaced.

"Now you know that without the guidance of theory, the way forward for technology seems to be blocked, right?"

"Yes, like a blind person." Shui Wangqiu deeply agreed, and the Academy of Sciences' research on the infinite zero-point energy of a vacuum is in this state.

"Whether it is the Dirac Sea or the vacuum zero-point energy, the establishment of this theory has appeared as early as the earth age, that is to say, in fact, the Shenzhou civilization lit up this technology, and it was actually used on the earth tens of thousands of years ago. theory, and when the technology is mastered, you have no clue."

Yue Yuanzhou continued: "Basic theory is the foundation of scientific progress, Lao Shui, don't forget this. Okay, I won't talk too much about you, you just need to remember that future super power may also need to establish another A theory can be realized."

"As for the problem of infinite zero-point energy in vacuum, it is not a problem, but a key. Knowing this secret can advance civilization a big step forward. If a civilization that has mastered zero-point energy in vacuum is a super civilization, then This question is the key to a super civilization moving towards a god-level civilization.

Fortunately, our Shenzhou civilization now has this key, and when we open it, we can get a really huge amount of energy. The utilization rate of the vacuum zero-point energy we use now can only be described by orders of magnitude in front of this energy, but This requires a whole new set of theoretical guidance. "
