Wei Hong: "When do you plan to send it to Mars?"
This time, IMCRC once again shocked the world.
It was a round metal ball about two people tall. On the surface of the ball shell, you could see exposed fist-sized rivets, as well as various pipes and interfaces.
After staring at the Z particle clock in silence for a long time, he calmed down the shocked expression on his face and said with emotion.
"The launch will be launched before the end of the month."
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said.
[Based on the results of the meeting, IMCRC will launch an experimental rocket equipped with a "Z particle clock" to the Mars synchronous orbit in the near future to test the correctness of the hyperspace theory.]
"Z particle clock, we can use it to generate Z particles." Looking at the metal dome, Lu Zhou showed a slightly proud smile on his face, narrowed his eyes and continued, "Although it is expensive and indispensable, There are a bunch of shortcomings like recycling and so on, but it’s definitely reliable enough.”
In fact, it is indeed designed based on similar technical concepts. The only difference is that it is not used to simulate nuclear explosions, but to produce Z particles.
In fact, let alone maintaining a stable hyperspace channel, so far, research on Z particles has only stayed on a few detectors of the Lunar Hadron Collider. The physics community has not even managed to preserve or stably produce Z particles. None of the technology.
Even if the experiment is successful, it only theoretically proves the possibility of achieving super-light speed through a hyperspace channel. However, if you want to maintain a stable hyperspace channel and transmit a spacecraft weighing tens or even hundreds of tons through this channel, With the current technology, it is almost impossible to see the hope of using a machine.
for example.
Shrugging his shoulders, Professor Fernando continued.
…
According to his calculations, only when two lead ions collide with an energy of 1.25 Tev can Z particles release 750 Gev of energy from high dimensions to three-dimensional space—that is, Z particles that produce oscillations.
An experiment will consume about two pills.
From an objective point of view, this statement is actually a bit too optimistic.
High power laser!
"But... I still don't understand, how did you build this thing in such a short time?" Looking at Lu Zhou, Professor Davidk said in an unbelievable tone, "From the end of the meeting to now... It’s only been less than two weeks, right?”
The headline of the Wall Street Journal that day published this surprising news with a picture of a Mars with the five letters IMCRC written on it.
The results of the meeting discussion were also announced to the global media in the subsequent press conference.
After this device is started, it can generate energy comparable to that of a star in a very small reaction chamber, thereby accumulating the lead core located in the center of the reaction chamber, pushing the ionized lead ions to violently collide during friction and extrusion, thus making Z Particles continue to fall from higher dimensions to lower dimensions.
For the former chief designer of the controllable fusion project, designing a laser ignition device was not a difficult task. Especially now that his engineering level is LV7, which is completely different from before.
"Because of the strong industrial capabilities of the high-tech park and... our smart manufacturing concept. As long as there are materials and the processing conditions are met, this park can turn drawings into reality in a short time, just like a 3D printer." After a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "As for the design work, I had already finished it earlier."
Since all its energy will be released within a minute, while producing Z particles and disturbing the gravitational field, the huge heat will also destroy the device itself, so this thing is basically scrapped after one experiment.
"If this Z particle clock really does it... the whole world will be changed by it."
If it took a year to build this thing, he might not be very surprised. But two weeks is a bit too exaggerated.
When he held a similar position at CERN, no one had ever dared to ignore his opinions like this. However, in this year of serving on the IMCRC Board of Directors, the frustration he tasted was almost equivalent to that in the past forty years of his life. The sum total of what has been tasted.
The IMCRC closed-door meeting has ended.
Looking at Professor Whittle who was deep in thought, Professor Fernando continued.
Professor Whittle said in confusion: "Don't you think doubt is a necessary procedure?"
Walking next to him, Professor Fernando, the British Director of IMCRC, hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I think... what he said makes some sense."
"Doubt is of course a necessary procedure. We should remain skeptical at any time, but the premise is that this suspicion is meaningful. For example, his paper has a loophole that cannot be easily repaired. You or I raise doubts, and then he This is an explanation... But now, we obviously do not have such conditions."
Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
"What is this?"
Staring at the experimental equipment in front of him in stunned silence, Professor Davik opened and closed his mouth for a long time before speaking in a difficult tone.
However, even though that is said, if the Z particle is only allowed to appear briefly and maintained for the time of a physics experiment, it can still be achieved through many alternative solutions.
"Maybe," Lu Zhou smiled, "but my expectations for it are more in the future."
"When there is no better choice, it is better to do something than to waste time on meaningless arguments. Moreover, as he said, few people can fully understand his proof process. If you want to wait until The physics community generally accepts his point of view, and then we may have to wait until five years or even more distant future to verify that he is right."
"I want to get it done before the Spring Festival!"
Regardless of the fact that David was shocked and speechless, Professor Wei, who was standing next to him, had not said a word since he entered the factory.
Arguably, this was what surprised him the most.
[If this experiment is successful, it may mean that interstellar travel in light-year units is possible!]
Striding out of the door of the conference room, Professor Whittle's face was full of indignation and he cursed in a low voice.
"This dictator! Just shut down the council."
From a structural point of view, it is very similar to the National Ignition Facility (NIF) that has been swept into the grave of history.
"Since he can prove himself through experiments, what's wrong with that?"
The meeting is over.
"Think about it, how lucky it is to have a reliable leader at the front."
In a spacious factory building.
Only the IMCRC can carry out such a costly physics experiment.
"If everything goes well."
By the way, the cost of this equipment is about 200 million yuan.
Looking at Professor Fernando in disbelief, Whittle seemed to have seen some monster and said in an unbelievable tone: "I can't believe it... you actually think what he did is reasonable?"
