Chapter 906 Majorana Fermions

Of course, if this method is really used to achieve shielding, the so-called shield light curtain is definitely not a single layer, but an area with a certain thickness.

This report also gives a method to achieve this, which is to use a super force field to compress, reduce the uncertainty of the electron, and increase the uncertainty of the momentum, thereby achieving a shield effect.

According to the prediction of this shield research report, if this theory is feasible, the shield made with it will have the power to resist the continued collapse of a white dwarf. It can only be broken by applying a force that exceeds the collapse of the white dwarf in an instant.

This force is easy to calculate; it is equal to the pressure exerted by the gravity on the core of a white dwarf star with a mass 1.44 times that of the Sun.

Only by generating a force exceeding this pressure instantly can the shield be destroyed. Otherwise, the only way is to continue to strike and overload the shield generator.

The theory is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

According to the description of this theory, even if the shield is realized in this way, the shield it forms is a dense material shield like the core of a white dwarf. It is far from the real shield effect that humans saw at the beginning. Other people's shields will only light up when attacked, and they are one-way blocking shields.

Even if a shield made of this dense electron is feasible, it will definitely block attacks fired from inside the battleship.

Therefore, after thoroughly analyzing the report, Liu Miyan believed that it was not feasible, and subsequent experiments also proved his point of view.

Similarly, the shield conceived based on electron cloud still faces an unsolvable problem, that is, the problem of antimatter attack.

According to human understanding of real shields, it can also withstand the attack of antimatter. But if it is an electron cloud, as long as the anti-electrons hit it, an annihilation reaction will occur directly.

Positive and negative matter will undergo annihilation reaction when they come together. This is the law of cosmic physics. Unless there is an ability to change the laws of physics, no matter how advanced a civilization's technology is, it cannot change the fact that positive and negative electrons annihilate each other.

Due to various unsolvable facts, the real shield plan based on the electron cloud concept was declared a failure, but this idea provided ideas for many research teams.

More and more shield research teams are focusing their work on the basic research of this type of shield structure. They believe that the electron cloud solution mentioned in the report is not feasible, but the method of realizing a real shield is feasible.

For example, the force field structure mentioned inside.

There is no doubt that force field technology is the basis of shield technology, so the so-called real shield must also rely on force field.

However, when it comes to the issue of force field structure, the research focuses of these human scientific research teams are divided into two types: one is the rigid force field structure, and the other is the flexible force field structure.

The difference between the two lies in hard steel and buffering, the latter of which is the predecessor technology of shield technology.

In this way, humans spent decades on the problem of real shield and finally completed the verification of the force field structure in experiments. The last piece of the real shield puzzle was also found by humans in the next two years.

That's a Majorana fermion.

From the perspective of particle physics, there are only two types of particles in nature, one is fermions and the other is bosons. Everything we see is made up of fermions.

Majorana fermions are one of many types of fermions.

After the electron cloud structure plan failed, human scientists turned their attention to Majorana fermions in order to solve the antimatter impact problem, because the antiparticle of this type of particle is itself.

Another type is the well-known Dirac fermion. If it is used as the basic component of the shield, there is no possibility of annihilation by antimatter. It solves the problem caused by the electron cloud structure from a physical theoretical perspective.

The original concept of Majorana fermions came from the Majorana equation, which came from a rewriting of the Dirac equation. It can describe particles with a spin of half, and the antiparticle of the particle that satisfies the equation is itself.

This is a type of particle. After years of searching and testing, humans have finally found a particle that meets the description of a real shield function.

However, the particle type has been found, and the problems of shield generation and one-way channel still need to be solved.

At first, some scientists suggested that they could use the method mentioned in the original report to compress such particles into the space outside the warship with a force field to form a shield like a light curtain.

In their thinking, these particles are emitted by the shield generator and compressed into a piece of space under the action of the force field.

But they obviously failed because their understanding of particles was wrong.

Human civilization has long proven that particles are not one by one, and the atomic nuclei and electron structure diagrams that people usually see, which are like star systems, are actually wrong. Just like electrons, they do not exist in that orbital form, but are electron probability clouds.

Theoretically, electrons exist everywhere in the electron cloud at the same time.

The inspiration for the electronic cloud solution of Real Shield came from this.

Since a particle is not a particle, then what is it?
The quantum field theory of human civilization tells us that particles are actually a kind of probability wave, and each particle is a quantum excited state of the quantum field. The so-called virtual particles that people often talk about are born and annihilated, which is a spontaneous behavior of the quantum field.

Particles of different types and masses correspond to different excited states of the quantum field.

If the excited particle in the quantum field is drawn as a wave crest, then the trough is its antiparticle. The matter we see in our daily life has mass under the action of the Higgs mechanism, and then it can be transformed into a state that is always in an excited state of the quantum field, just like the earth's gravitational depression diagram we often see.

From this perspective, Pauli incompatibility is the basic law of quantum field that restricts the superposition of two completely identical field excitations. Of course, it is just a restriction. If these two identical excited states are forced together, they will become another more unstable and more powerful quantum excited state, which is the environment where the neutron degenerate state exists.

If the force breaks through the neutron degenerate state again, the quantum field will be like being punctured, and a hole, namely a black hole, will appear suddenly.

This is why humans in the Earth era always say that any known theory will fail in a black hole.

Well, since particles are all excited states of quantum fields, there is no problem of launching Majorana fermions. Humans only need to start from the microscopic field, find the quantum excited state equation of Majorana fermions, and then use the powerful force of the super force field to excite it. In the process, accurately calculate the distance of the excitation field, and then make a shield that completely ignores antimatter attacks.

However, this also involves the spatial equation of the probability wave of excited states in the field of quantum fields. Only by finding it can humans construct a shield.

This is a problem, but not a big one, because this is not the first time that human civilization has studied shield technology, and naturally there are previous shield theories as a reference.

The only difficulty now is the unidirectional conductivity like a diode, because the real shield can only go out but not in.

In order to solve the final problem of the real shield, countless scientific research teams, with great enthusiasm, have immersed themselves in the study of the properties of Majorana fermions, working day and night without stopping.

With the joint efforts of scientific research teams, the last door to real shield technology was finally broken by humans in the 107th year after the shipbuilding plan started.
