The development of the Infinite Sophon Box used many technologies in no-man's land, a realm where there is no one to lead the way, no set rules, and no one to follow. A large number of application technologies were pioneered and developed by Zhou Xing.
In the laboratory, the scientific researchers were cautious and focused, for fear that a single mistake would cause the ongoing laboratory to fail.
Therefore, it was not until Zhou Xing walked up to the crowd that they discovered him.
"Mr. Zhou, you are here!"
"Mr. Zhou, it's time to conduct the vacuum extraction test."
“…”
As soon as they saw Zhou Xing, everyone greeted him one after another and couldn't wait to ask questions.
Zhou Xing nodded to them, his eyes falling on the square box of instruments in front of him.
The square box instrument is placed on a metal platform filled with various conduits. The side of the square box is about one meter long. It is completely black and exudes a thick metallic texture. There is a pipe extending from the "windmill"-shaped instrument behind it. Passing through the middle, the structure appears very simple.
"Has the particle turbine been tested?" Zhou Xing looked at the technical leader, Chen Lei, and asked.
"The preparation is completed, the test results are normal, and the test can be carried out." A bald scientific man
The members reported to Zhou Xing in high spirits.
"Understood!" Chen Lei nodded excitedly, then looked at his subordinates and loudly ordered: "Report the current vacuum degree, check the amount of vacuum particles inside, and determine the power supply status."
"The current vacuum level is 3.5Torr."
"Current particle amount: 23*6.02X10^23."
“…”
As soon as Chen Lei finished speaking, the scientific researchers quickly got into work mode and reported to him one after another.
Vacuum degree: 3.5Torr. The internal space environment of the square box is already in a high-level vacuum state, which is already the limit that human beings can extract by various rotary vane pumps, vortex pumps, and molecular pumps.
Even so, there are still a large number of particles inside the vacuum environment with a vacuum degree of 3.5Torr. Such an environment is far from being able to meet the operating needs of the infinite sophon box.
The technical difficulties in manufacturing the infinite sophon box stem from the fact that it needs to operate in an extreme vacuum environment.
In fact, humans have conducted in-depth research on the current vacuum. The Lamb shift of the energy level of hydrogen atoms and the anomalous magnetic moment of electrons. The collision of high-energy positrons and negative electrons are annihilated into high-energy photons. On the contrary, high-energy photons can excite a large number of particles in the vacuum. Particles... and other experiments have confirmed the effect of vacuum polarization with very high precision.
However, humankind's exploration of vacuum is still in its infancy, and a large number of scientists are still exploring issues such as spontaneous vacuum rupture and vacuum phase change, which all belong to the no-man's land of human technology.
The scientists at the scene were all inexplicably excited. If the experiment of this "particle vortex turbine" designed by Zhou Xing is successful, it will completely solve the problem of being unable to enter the super vacuum environment, further promote human exploration of the vacuum field, and promote vacuum physics. further development.
"Start the particle spin turbine and pay attention to the changes in the pressure resistance of the container." Chen Lei, nervous and excited at the same time, loudly ordered to everyone.
The next second, there was a "crack" sound, and the huge windmill instrument rotated at high speed. The intense electric current "sizzled" and the grinding sound of the high-speed rotation of the particle turbine merged into a vast and terrifying sound that filled the entire experiment. room.
Everyone looked at the rapidly moving particle turbine in horror. Its movement was so loud that if something unexpected happened, everyone present would be dead.
Chen Lei swallowed the smear with a dry mouth, looked at Zhou Xing and advised with concern: "Mr. Zhou, I can just keep an eye on the scene. You should go outside and wait for news!"
The high-speed rotating particle turbine created a strong wind out of thin air.
Zhou Xing faced the wind and looked at Chen Lei with a smile, and asked with a smile: "What, are you afraid that I will have an accident?"
"Yes! This experiment is very dangerous. If the particle turbine fails, or if the vacuum is not able to withstand the external pressure, it will lead to a major accident! You'd better not take risks! Otherwise, our The sin is huge." Chen Lei looked at Zhou Xing and began to persuade him eagerly.
"No, if you all carefully check the material selection of the container and the design of the particle turbine, and there is no human error, there will be no problems in this experiment." Zhou Xing looked at Chen Lei and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Lei puffed up his chest, patted his chest and promised: "Mr. Zhou, you can rest assured. For such a big project, I will follow the entire process and check it over a dozen times. There will definitely be no human errors."
Once this experiment is completed and an ultra-high vacuum environment is created, there will be a lot of great discoveries in vacuum physics. This ultra-high vacuum extraction experiment is a historic breakthrough for mankind in the field of vacuum. It is more important than some aerospace projects. The project goes beyond that, and they will never tolerate man-made accidents
As soon as Chen Lei finished speaking, the surrounding scientific researchers all eagerly and excitedly assured Zhou Xing.
"Yes! Mr. Zhou, how dare we neglect such a large laboratory."
"Mr. Zhou, please rest assured, we will guarantee with our lives that we will never create any human problems."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled and nodded, and said clearly: "Since there will be no human omissions, this experiment is very safe. You can continue to keep an eye on the data! Don't worry about me."
The particle turbine design drawing and the pressure resistance of the container material have been tested countless times by Zhou Xiaozhi, and technical errors have been completely eliminated. Therefore, Zhou Xingcai dared to make a mistake and monitor the results of this experiment together with the scientists. .
After hearing what Zhou Xingdu said, Chen Lei couldn't persuade him anymore. He turned to look at a monitor and couldn't wait to ask: "Report the status of the vortex particle wheel and prepare to open the vacuum valve."
"Understood!" The operator responded.
Immediately, the particle vortex turbine spewed out a large torrent of particles into the pipe and transported it into the square box. The vacuum valve at the other end opened. The impact of the particle torrent drove the particle flow in the vacuum environment to the other end of the vacuum tube. The particle vortex turbine rotated faster and faster, and the vacuum tube The particle flow inside the particle flow is running at an increasing speed.
"It's done, the velocity of the vacuum particle flow has reached the peak of motion." An excited voice suddenly sounded from in front of the electronic monitor.
Hearing this, Chen Lei perked up. The function of the particle spin turbine is to generate particles and use the particle flow to bring out the quiet particles in the vacuum container. Once the particle flow breaks through the inertia peak, the experiment is already half successful.
Chen Lei continued to order excitedly: "Increase the speed of the particle vortex turbine, turn on the particle interceptor, and gradually reduce the number of particles in the particle flow."
"Understood!" The operator operating the particle turbine readily agreed.
Soon, the particle turbine accelerated, and the number of particles in the rapidly rotating particle flow continued to decrease. At the same time, the particle flow flowing through the vacuum volume also decreased.
