Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 905 Research Report on Real Shield

The Star Alliance finally set sail, but did not go far. Because at this moment the Star Alliance had not completed the upgrade of the fifth-level civilization creation, the destination was actually a star system seven light years away.

There are seven rocky planets, more than eighty rocky satellites and thousands of asteroids. Humans plan to hollow out the area, and then upgrade the engines of the largest battleships currently owned, including planetary battleships, habitable spacecraft, biosphere spacecraft, etc. After that, they will start building star-class battleships.

Humans are already familiar with the matter of upgrading creations. Although Yue Yuan, as the leader of civilization, is the coordinator of the entire plan, he only controls the general direction. The detailed details of each matter are handled by dedicated experts, as the saying goes, "Every profession has its own expertise."

As time passed, the Covenant gradually turned this star system into a busy construction site, and the Lyra took on the early mining operations of each planet - mining with star destroyer cannons.

Every rocky planet here will be hit by a hit, and then after it is broken into pieces, various subsequent resource mining spacecraft will rush in, and Xiao Hui will follow behind to gnaw on the planet fragments that have been broken into large pieces.

The rocks eaten by Xiao Hui are broken down into piles of various metals, and then transported by transport ships to processing plants in the void. All metals and non-metals are useful. Under the advanced technology of the Star Alliance, they are all turned into products and by-products, and then processed twice and tertiary times. These resources are finally turned into things needed for various creations.

The entire star system is filled with spaceships coming and going, like a busy interstellar construction site.

The periphery of the star system and even the nearby star systems are the domain of exploration spacecraft teams, who are either led by civilizations that are members of the Star Alliance or by humans themselves. They perform guard missions there, just like scouts, monitoring the area within a 2.5 light-year radius centered on them.

Due to security needs, the Covenant sends out a large number of exploration spacecraft teams at a high frequency, completely disregarding energy consumption. Any disturbance will not escape their eyes.

With them, the Star Alliance can develop peacefully in the star system.

As time goes by, the creation upgrade plan is also changing the power of human civilization bit by bit, but the research on real shields still has little effect.

Another day has passed, and particle physicist Liu Miyan walked out of the research institute a little later than usual. Today was another day of progress for him, but he seemed to be thinking about something.

Walking out of the institute building with him was a woman who looked only about 20 years old. She exuded the scent of youth, but people's age could not be judged by appearance. She was wearing a military uniform and walked to the right of Liu Miyan. At the same time, she said, "Academician Liu, I'm sorry to have delayed your get off work. You also read the report. I want to hear your opinion."

"It's just a few minutes, nothing." Liu Miyan answered as he walked, "The electron cloud conjecture mentioned in the report is indeed insightful, but we still need to conduct experiments to know the details. It's just that the experimental design is a problem. I was just thinking, how can we achieve the situation mentioned in the report?

Although the study of electrons also belongs to the field of ion physics, we currently seem to have no means to make electrons exhibit the phenomena described in the report. Moreover, even if what the report says is correct, the problem of the shield only going out but not in has not been solved.

Academician Ruan, as far as I know, the real shield is a one-way shield. It can block all attacks from the outside to the inside, and when it is turned on, attacks from the inside to the outside can ignore its existence without any hindrance. The electronic cloud in the report does not seem to have such a function. We can't shut down the shield every time our warships attack." Academician Ruan nodded, somewhat unwillingly saying, "This problem does exist. This is also the purpose of my coming here. The real shield technology research project is now in a difficult situation. The above has given enough resources, but... Alas, now that the construction of star-class battleships is imminent, the above hopes that we can complete the research and development before the completion of the first batch of 10,000 star-class battleships, and realize large-scale production before the completion of the second batch of battleships. The time is tight and the task is heavy. This time Academician Liu can join our R&D team as a technical consultant, and I am really grateful."

"We are all working for the development of civilization, so there is no need to be polite, Academician Ruan." Liu Miyan said with a smile.

There are 1,137 shield research teams like Academician Ruan in human civilization. They hold a scientific and technological seminar every year to share their knowledge and enhance the exchange of ideas.

What Academician Ruan showed him just now was a research report on real shield. It was the interim results achieved by the research team led by Academician Ruan in the field of real shield, but it was not yet known whether it was feasible.

An experiment needs to be designed to verify it. Liu Miyan’s thoughtful look just now was because he was thinking about how to design the experiment.

He read the report carefully, which was about electron clouds.

The report believes that a real shield is a shield that uses an electron cloud as a barrier, and is formed by concentrating the range of the electron cloud in some way.

Liu Miyan also read the principles explained in it, and they seemed to make sense, so he agreed to join the scientific research team as a consultant.

The principle is roughly as follows.

Anyone who knows about particle physics knows that everything we see does not actually involve real contact. Even if we touch or hold an object with our hands, it is not that we are not actually touching it. Instead, there is a repulsive force between the electrons outside the nuclei of the atoms that make up our hands and the electrons outside the nuclei of the atoms that we are touching.

It begins to manifest as the mutual force of electric charges, which satisfies the inverse square of the distance formula, namely the Coulomb force. When two dense objects squeeze each other, it is a repulsive force based on Pauli exclusion, which is the well-known electron degeneracy force.

The existence of this force means that in a system composed of fermions, two or more particles are not allowed to be in exactly the same state.

The idea in the report is to divide the spherical area where the shield occurs into microscopic nodes, with each microscopic node as a container for a group of shared electron pairs with opposite spins. Countless such electron pairs together form a fermion network.
The shield generator located on the battleship is the atomic nucleus of this electron network. It generates opposite charges to maintain the electrical neutrality of the entire system, while the force that compresses the electron cloud into a shield curtain is completed by the super force field.

According to the description in the report, such a shield, because it is made of fermions, can block all attacks like real matter, and the Pauli exclusion principle obeyed by fermions allows it to withstand any attack below the electron degeneracy force.
