The road to technology

Chapter 571 Weak Interaction Strike
When the Sophon malfunctioned, Yue Yuanzhou's first reaction was that it was impossible, but he immediately thought of the four-dimensional space.

Even the original Sophon of the Trisolaran can be reassembled after being broken into pieces.For example, when a sophon wants to lock down the opponent's basic science, it goes to the particle collider to replace the target particle to collide. During this kind of collision, the sophon will be smashed, but its system will automatically make it heal and rebuild. Become a Sophon.

That is to say, Sophon is unbreakable.

Only when you enter the sophon blind zone of the four-dimensional space will you lose contact.

But the current situation is not as simple as just losing contact. Judging from the fault information sent just before Sophon lost contact, Sophon broke down first and then lost contact.

"Why did you turn it off!" Seeing the projection that suddenly disappeared, He Xi thought it was Yue Yuanzhou who turned it off on purpose.

"Am I so bored?" Yue Yuanzhou spread his hands, sighed, stood up and walked slowly on the command hall: "It should be some kind of weird attack."

"The one on the Doutian Zhou?" He Xi said with his chin clenched: "That kind of mutation doesn't seem to be as simple as it appears on the surface. Your detector didn't detect the reason?"

"Some." Yue Yuanzhou replied.

The main function of the sophon is actually to covertly detect, open up the map view, of course, it can also lock the basic science of certain levels of civilization.But it is only a microscopic detector after all, and it cannot completely replace traditional detectors with various functions when it is in a microscopic state.

For example, in order to detect gravitational waves, sophons need to be expanded two-dimensionally. The surface of a two-dimensionally expanded sophon is larger than the surface of a planet. Only at this scale can it detect the slight deformation of space caused by gravitational waves from the depths of the universe. .

So now if he wanted to know what happened, Yue Yuanzhou had two choices.

The first is to continue to send sophon neutron detectors to carry out various dimensions and carry out targeted detection of the on-site situation.The second is to directly drive the warship to rescue Leina, and learn what happened from her mouth. This must be done if Leina insists that he arrives.

But this second one is very risky, because only based on the current limited detection data, Yue Yuanzhou can't judge what kind of attack it is.

Facing the unknown, Yue Yuanzhou didn't want to take any risks.

So under the order of Yue Yuanzhou, a group of sophons and neutrons turned around from the nearest star field.

"The new batch of detectors won't arrive so soon. Why are you going there? You don't need to stay here and wait." Yue Yuanzhou left the command room after speaking, leaving the three kings here and ignoring them.

But he didn't leave the infrastructure, he just went to another room and held a meeting with the Shenzhou Academy of Civilization and Science through the virtual projection.

There were not many participants, only eighteen people, twelve men and six women.Most are fellows of the Academy of Sciences, ranging in age from over 500 to over 2 years old.

"Element mutation, element conversion, not only into various messy isotopes but also into other elements? How could such a thing happen, and it is also used on the battlefield." A researcher said.

"The biggest commonality of this kind of attack is that the range of elemental variation is not large, and more is turned into its isotope. For example, most of the carbon elements in those Lieyang people are turned into its isotope." Another researcher also discussed up.

The meeting held with the phantom projection started to discuss heatedly, and time passed by like this.

"I think this thing is not as simple as it seems on the surface. There may be a deeper reason, a deeper microscopic reason. From the situation of sophon failure, this kind of thing can act on the microscopic particle itself and destroy it in essence. Structure."

"That's right, if the normal impact damages, the sophon can be completely restored. That is to say, this kind of attack makes the proton become another kind of particle, such as neutron, and the neutron may also become a proton. Only in this way will it appear This situation."

"Well, you're right, so I think it's a kind of positive and negative beta decay." The name of the speaker was Gongsun Xing, a researcher devoted to the study of fundamental forces.

"You mean the attack works on quarks?"

Gongsun Xing replied: "Yes, I think it's quark flavor change! But it's impossible for that unknown civilization to open a laboratory there and then bring the Solar Fleet to the laboratory to make in-depth microscopic modifications one by one. So I guess this kind of attack should be It is a kind of particle or electromagnetic wave emitted by some kind of emission source.”

"It makes sense that the unified theory of weak electricity does make this possible."

In the venue, you talked with me one by one. Although there is not much information, there is quite some progress.

"It's either driven by electromagnetic force or gravitational force. There are only these two types of long-range force in the universe. But judging from that woman named Leina, this attack should not be driven by gravitational waves, otherwise she would definitely not be able to survive."

At this time, Yue Yuanzhou nodded to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The detector will arrive at the scene in half a month, and will conduct targeted detection at that time. According to the judgment of this technical seminar, the main focus of this detection will be on various areas. If a large number of related rays such as β, γ, etc. are detected, it means that our guess should be correct.”

The meeting went on without sleep for three full days.

After the meeting, Yue Yuanzhou went through the previous detection data in detail, and occasionally talked with some experts in related fields.

In this way, the time came to the moment when the probe arrived at the scene.

Half a month has passed, and from a distant view, the Lieyang Fleet is still hovering there quietly.The star has entered an unstable stage but did not explode, but Lena has disappeared. I don't know if she ran away or was captured by the unknown civilization.

When Sophon entered the Doutian boat where Pan Zhen was in again, he found that Pan Zhen's body was gone, and there was a big hole in the warehouse wall of the Doutian boat.

"Could it be that this unknown civilization used Pan Zhen's body to study it, so Leina ran away?" Yue Yuanzhou couldn't help thinking when he saw such a result.

If Lie Yang installed the stellar leapfrog function on Reina herself, she could indeed run away.

So this civilization couldn't catch Leina, so it took Pan Zhen to study?With this possibility, they must be very interested in a woman who can't even kill this kind of weapon.

However, Yue Yuanzhou believed that what Leina should have defended was the ray that launched this kind of attack, rather than being attacked until she survived.

This time, neither the sophon nor the neutron went close to the source of the shock, which was the strange place that was discovered before.

So it didn't take long, through targeted detection, Yue Yuanzhou finally discovered various rays permeating the entire fleet, to be precise, most of them were particles released by β decay, which directly confirmed the speculation at the meeting.

Now Yue Yuanzhou can basically confirm what kind of attack this is, but he still called the previous group of researchers to hold another seminar.

The meeting was not long, but the conclusion of the meeting added a known attack method to the Shenzhou civilization database.

After the meeting, Yue Yuanzhou came to the command hall of the Infrastructure again, followed by Karl.

Now there was no one in the command hall, only Hexi who was doing nothing was in a daze. As for Kaisha and Liangbing, they were still in the room assigned to her by Yue Yuanzhou, wondering what they were doing.

"It's been half a month, is there a result?" He Xi raised his head and saw Yue Yuanzhou approaching, and asked immediately.

She has been thinking about this matter these days, but due to insufficient information, she has no clue.

"Huh, Carl?"

"Tianji Wang Hexi, long time no see." Karl responded with a gentle smile.

"Why don't you guys catch up on the past first?" Yue Yuanzhou said while walking.

"There's nothing to talk about." He Xi immediately shook his head, then left his seat, and looked at Yue Yuanzhou expectantly.She originally thought it was impossible to tell, after all, Yue Yuanzhou disappeared for half a month and didn't show up, so she thought it was some kind of secret.

"Well, sit down."

Yue Yuanzhou nodded to let Hexi sit down, and found a place to sit down at random. Only then did he say solemnly: "Weak interaction force!"
