Chapter 892: Sharp Tools Are the Key to Good Work
As we all know, one Planck time is the shortest time currently known to humans. That is to say, if the effect of radiation is only one Planck time, then the matter that should have disintegrated will not move at all, because the strong nuclear force will come out again to pull the basic structure of the matter together again, so that the matter will not disintegrate.

However, once the exposure time exceeds this quantum scale time, the matter will inevitably be broken up immediately. As for the degree of breakup, whether it is protons, neutrons or quarks, it depends on the intensity of the radiation.

This intensity is related to the strength of the super force field and the specific parameters that adjust the force field.

As for the working principle of matter disintegration rays, that is, the reason why the strong force suddenly disappears, scientists have already understood it with the support of countless experimental data.

That is, the moment the matter disintegration rays act on protons and neutrons, due to some characteristics of their negative energy, the environment in which the protons and neutrons are located will undergo magical changes, causing these particles to instantly transform from matter into negative matter, thereby generating an instantaneous strong nuclear repulsion on other positive matter particles, which is of the same magnitude but opposite nature as the strong nuclear force.

The strong nuclear force between particles manifests itself as the attraction becoming stronger as the distance increases, while this force manifests itself as the repulsion becoming stronger as the distance increases.

In addition, this conversion is quantum random. Some combined particle pairs are completely converted, while others are incompletely converted. This phenomenon has nothing to do with the intensity of the rays and should be a random event. The random statistical number is very close to one-half. Therefore, the repulsive force will not directly break the particles apart, but it will manifest as the instantaneous disappearance of the strong nuclear force.

The high-energy pulse energy that suddenly appeared was a positive energy pulse. It was this energy that seemed to come out of nothing that blew the particles away, exceeding the range of the strong nuclear force, making it impossible for the strong nuclear force to bind its original particles.

It is conceivable that if a person is hit by such a blow, he will definitely be decomposed into elementary particles, which is a true physical annihilation, in other words, he will be reduced to ashes.

This is the case from a macro perspective.

As for why energy pulses appear out of nowhere at the microscopic level of the object being hit, this again involves the question of the nature of negative energy.

Before humans truly mastered the theory of everything, they already knew that negative matter has three characteristics. First, the total energy of a negative energy pulse is inversely proportional to its spatial and temporal range, that is, the stronger the negative energy pulse, the shorter its duration. Second, a negative energy pulse is always followed by a positive energy pulse of a larger magnitude. Third, the longer the time interval between the two pulses, the larger the positive energy pulse will inevitably be.

And that energy pulse that seems to come out of nothing is the positive energy pulse described in the second property.

It is this sudden appearance, as if it is the law of the universe itself, that can cause all kinds of particles to explode in that instant.

However, this is only its main process. This process is actually very complicated and is accompanied by various complex quantum phenomena. The well-known nuclear fission and nuclear fusion phenomena will also appear in this process. After all, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion themselves are produced by the breakage and recombination of nucleons.

For this reason, nuclear fusion is also called nuclear fusion.

And at the moment when scientists announced the experimental results, the weapons research department directly named the weapon they planned as the matter decomposition cannon, which was considered an official name.

They have been waiting for this name for a long time, ever since they witnessed the attack method of the level 5 civilization detection spacecraft. The side of the Lyra was pierced by this kind of attack. They still remember that the armor of the Lyra was like paper in the face of such an attack.

Now that they have mastered this weapon, they are naturally excited.

The weapons research department saw the military use of this technology and recognized it at a glance as the same kind of matter disintegration cannon that humans encountered in the past, but this technology can be used for more than just military purposes.

When people in the industrial sector saw this research result, they saw another use for this technology - cutting!
If this kind of ray is used in industry, it will definitely be an industrial scalpel! With it, humans can easily perform secondary processing on any material. Alloy No. 1 and Alloy No. 2 are no different from paper in front of the light knife made by this ray. Even materials with strong interaction forces can be easily cut.

Human beings' strong materials rely on the grand unified force field to process ordinary alloys, allowing the strong interaction force within the metal particles to overflow, allowing the strong force range within the nucleus to become the dominant force, so that the atoms basically no longer move relative to each other and are locked and nailed to each other.

The macroscopic surface of the strong material is very smooth, with a friction coefficient of zero. It is a fully mirror-reflective material. It was used in the original "mirror experiment" by humans, and the Tianqin also uses it as the main frame material.

Before the realization of the Theory of Everything, strong materials were difficult to manufacture and could only be formed once in a force field environment, making secondary processing almost impossible.

It is precisely because of these factors that humans are unable to build another warship as powerful as the Lyra, and the Lyra is the only one that can withstand the star destroyer cannon.

However, this situation was reversed after the mastery of the Theory of Everything.

The emergence of the theory of everything has enabled the strongest force field mastered by mankind to advance from the grand unified force field to the super force field. In the super force field, humans can easily produce a large amount of strong materials by regulating the force field parameters.

In other words, humans have finally achieved ultra-large-scale production of strong materials.

The emergence of material disintegration ray technology has made it easy for strong materials to be processed again.

This means that human civilization can produce a large number of warships with strong structures like the Tianqin, and the production efficiency is higher because of the convenience of secondary processing. Even the frames of residential ships can be made entirely of strong materials, which will allow humans to build residential ships larger and accommodate more residents.

The super force field allows humans to have the ability to mass-produce strong materials, while the matter disintegration rays allow humans to have more sophisticated processing capabilities. They will inevitably raise the level of human creation to another unprecedented height.

From this perspective, the matter disintegration cannon seems less important.

However, if we want to turn the matter-disintegration ray into an industrial scalpel, countless human scientists will have to continue their hard work in research, because the industrial scalpel used for creation is different from a weapon after all.

As a weapon, you just need to use all your strength to strike out with great destructive power, and use as much force as possible. But as an industrial scalpel, this is not the case. What is required is precision.

This requires human scientists to find suitable super-force field ratio parameters in future experiments, or to thoroughly study the characteristics of material disintegration rays under various force field parameters, so as to produce industrial scalpels with various characteristics.

After mastering the Theory of Everything, humans will inevitably upgrade all creations and even create a new generation of creations. However, this cannot be rushed. Various technologies must keep up in order to create powerful creations.

The most crucial thing among these is definitely the tools. The emergence of matter disintegration ray technology now means that humans have the tools to match it.

It is like a craftsman's axe, ruler, and saw, and also like a lathe and milling machine for machining.
As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. This is exactly what it means.
