The Technology Tree of Xueba

On April 15, the installation of degenerate state laboratory instruments was completed.

After several days of research, scientists also know that degenerate matter cannot be detected by ordinary methods.

In this high-density degenerate matter, the atomic nuclei are crushed, leaving only elementary particles closely packed together.

It is not afraid of any means at all, even if it throws degenerate matter into the sun to bathe, it has no problem.

Feng Yunde led everyone to the degenerate state laboratory, and he said with emotion: Using degenerate matter to compress other matter, we can get some matter with tightly compressed atoms, and their properties are very special.

It's not that we have nothing to gain, but it's just that when we study degenerate matter, we can hardly make a breakthrough by all means.

If there are more degenerate matter, using it as the outer shell can realize nuclear fusion reaction.

The current nuclear fusion reaction is because there is no material that can withstand the high temperature of the reaction, and it can only be confined by electromagnetic means.

There are still many technical difficulties in electromagnetic constraints that have not been broken through. With the nuclear fusion theory already very mature, no country in the world has produced a feasible nuclear fusion reactor.

It is our country that has reached the highest record, and the reaction time is only a few seconds.

Unless we can make this kind of degenerate material, how can such a tiny bit of degenerate matter be used in the field of engineering.

We should start experiments related to quantum physics as soon as possible to make the best use of degenerate matter. Zhou Yu reminded.

Scientists began to adjust their instruments, preparing to use the special properties of degenerate matter to observe high-energy particles colliding with it, or different quanta running around it.

What are the different reactions of these particles under the influence of degenerate matter.

Scientists speculate that the interior of degenerate matter is highly compressed, no atoms exist, and it is composed of the most basic particles.

Even if it is a macroscopic material, under certain conditions, it can also produce some characteristics of microscopic particles.

The degenerate matter is transported to a special laboratory, where it is placed in front of the exit of the helical accelerator.

Scientists are going to bombard degenerate matter with alpha rays and beta rays in turn.

Alpha rays are high-speed helium nuclei that are relatively large.

Yu Zhenfeng stared at the instrument and gave an order: Alpha rays hit degenerate matter. Now start the experiment. All units should pay attention to the detection of degenerate matter and alpha rays.

Yu Zhenfeng just came to the water city yesterday, and he has an important project that needs to be finished urgently.

It took 5 days to deal with it, and then rushed to the water city immediately.

He originally thought that he would not have the opportunity to host this project, but he did not expect that due to the particularity of the floating city, the instruments needed to be readjusted, so he waited for the opportunity of this experiment.

The accelerated helium nuclei turn into alpha rays and bombard the degenerate material head-on.

All instruments are running at high speed, staring at the state of degenerate matter after alpha rays hit it.

No one is worried about degenerate matter, its hardness is not afraid of alpha ray impact at all.

Yu Zhenfeng and many scientists checked the data collected by the instrument, and sure enough, as they expected, the helium nucleus was directly smashed into pieces.

The degenerate material is intact and its mass has not changed when tested with a torque balance.

My God, there really is a third substance coming out of the broken helium nucleus.

There are only protons and centers inside the nucleus, and the degenerate matter is not damaged. What is this third kind of matter?

This is a really great discovery, the most important breakthrough in modern physics.

It is likely to be the basic unit quark that makes up protons and neutrons.

For the first time in reality, our laboratory discovered the existence of quarks, and quarks are no longer theoretical substances.

Only the special existence of degenerate matter can completely break the helium nucleus itself, and eject quarks during the breaking process.

Common particle impact experiments involve striking an object with alpha rays, or striking another atom with a single helium nucleus.

It's impossible to break protons and neutrons directly.

Even if two particles collide with each other, after the helium nucleus and another nucleus are broken, they will form a new artificial element under the action of the strong interaction force.

In addition to the elements in nature in the periodic table of elements, the following man-made elements are all manufactured by this method.

Only degenerate matter, which has no atomic nucleus and is composed of particles that may be smaller than quarks, can directly completely break the helium nucleus.

Seeing the extremely excited performance of the scientists, Zhou Yu was also very excited in his heart. This is really a huge discovery.

If it can be proved that this particle is a quark, with the development of technology, people will be able to manipulate quarks.

By that time, the conversion between elements could be done at will.

From a handful of dirt, a lump of gold can be made.

It is also possible to use quarks to assemble stable man-made elements, such as the main raw material of particle batteries, mothium.

Leave a group of people to repeat the experiment and find a way to capture the suspected quark particle and study the properties of this particle.

For others to carry out the next set of experiments, we must first carry out all the designed experiments, and leave the abnormal experiments, and conduct in-depth research on these experiments. Zhou Yu reminded from the side.

Yu Zhenfeng started the experiment again, and he continued to bombard degenerate materials with beta rays.

Beta rays are composed of electrons moving at high speed.

Beta rays bombard degenerate materials, and it is expected that electrons will burst into the surroundings.

As a result, the laboratory was very calm, and no abnormal phenomena occurred at all.

What's going on here? It's completely different from the experimental results we expected. Where is the error?

Look at the replay of the experiment process, play the specific situation frame by frame, and quickly find out what happened just now?

I seemed to see a few bands of light just now, but they just flashed by. Did electron diffraction occur in it?

Impossible! There are no slits around degenerate matter, so how could diffraction occur?

They began to check the experimental video frame by frame, when the electrons were about to bombard degenerate matter.

Instead of being a beam of particles, they seemed to become a wave, bypassing the degenerate matter and forming the usual diffraction fringes of electron waves on either side of the degenerate matter.

Sure enough, the electron beam has undergone wave diffraction. How could the wave-particle duality suddenly show the nature of a wave in this case.

According to quantum mechanics, microscopic particles have wave-particle duality, and electromagnetic waves such as light waves also have wave-particle duality.

It's just that the electromagnetic wave as a whole behaves like a wave, and in some special cases, it will become a virtual particle simplified by a piece of energy.

Its essence is still a small amount of energy, not a physical particle.

Particles have wave-particle duality, but whether it shows the properties of waves or particles is determined by observation.

This problem in quantum mechanics is known as Schrödinger's cat problem.

Using an analogy from a mathematical point of view, the wave-particle duality of particles can be simply compared to a random function.

When the random function is not exported, it represents this function. Once the random function determines a certain value, it represents this value.

Zhou Yu led the scientists to continue to explore this issue, and they finally discovered that degenerate matter has a peculiar phenomenon.

Under certain conditions, particles in its vicinity exhibit the characteristics of waves. Under certain conditions, waves in its vicinity exhibit the characteristics of particles.

When this conclusion was reached, some scientists burst into tears. This is an extremely important discovery, and this phenomenon can solve many problems encountered by modern physics.
