Voyage of the Stars

The much-anticipated experiment finally began. The moment the astronomical-grade particle collider was officially powered on for experimentation, all eyes were focused on it. Countless scientists gathered on their respective research ships to watch the moment the collision started via video.

Yue Yuan also put down what he was doing, came to the Tianqin command center, and followed the first collision experiment through a large-screen live broadcast.

"The data connection of the Tianhe Light is completed, the Tianhe Photon system is ready, and the astronomical-level super large particle collider - the 01st experiment of the neutron collision experiment is ready!"

"The self-test of the comprehensive particle generator has been completed, and the self-test of all components operating normally has been completed and is ready."

"The neutrino diversion probe is normal and the deuteron beam generator is ready!"

"The first acceleration module has been started, and the working feedback is normal! The second acceleration module has been started, and the working feedback is normal! The 781st acceleration module has been started, and the working feedback is normal. The feedback signal from the equipment in the impact area has arrived, the signal is normal, and the working feedback is normal. Normal! Multiple multi-stage laser correction has been completed, the error is plus or minus 0.03”

As the announcements from the staff rang out, everyone in the operation command center located in the particle generator section at the front end of the astronomical particle accelerator became busy.

As an astronomical-level particle collider, it is naturally impossible to be a device completely controlled by strong artificial intelligence, and strong artificial intelligence cannot be fully qualified for all operations. Therefore, humans have set up an operation command center at its head end.

A very broad operation command center. Now in the operation command center, people who have been familiar with the operation of astronomical particle collider after years of training are either sitting in front of their posts, or using the human-computer interaction system to control particle colliders. The collision machine is monitored and operated in real time.

Because the astronomical particle collider is too long, these staff members actually started preparing for the experiment a long time before the experiment started.

A report such as the one that fed back the data from the terminal collision zone was a test that had started a long time ago. The test results were actually very fast, but due to the delay, it took more than a month for them to be fed back to the operations command center of the headquarters.

What can't be helped is that without real-time communication technology, it is so troublesome.

You must know that the total length of this astronomical particle collider is more than 6,000 astronomical units. In other words, after the experiment actually starts and the ion beam is ejected, even if the particles rush to the target area at a speed close to the speed of light, it will still take It takes thirty-eight days to arrive. The humans in the operation command center will need to spend twice as long to receive the feedback data of the collision.

Of course, another group of scientific researchers can be observed at the other end, but this makes no sense, because the experimental results still need to be analyzed by the experimental team at the operation command center.

The transmission of information is always faster than having the scientific research team travel in both directions on a spacecraft.

"The particle beam has been generated and the deflector is working normally. The particle beam has entered the acceleration system and is accelerating. The relative speed measured by the system is 97.98% of the speed of light and continues to accelerate."

"Acceleration system temporary speed measurement module: The temporary speed of the particle beam is 98.99787% of the speed of light. The estimated impact time is 38 days, 02 hours, 56 minutes and 23 seconds. The estimated information feedback time is."

He was looking at the astronomical-grade particle collider working stably in the Tianqin command center. Looking at the busy Liu Miyan in the picture, he nodded slightly. He would wait for more than two months to see the first collision. The results of the experiment.

"What do you think this first collision experiment can produce?" Suddenly, Yue Yuan stood up from his seat and turned to look at Yu Nanfeng who didn't know what he was thinking next to him.

After the completion of the astronomical particle collider, Yu Nanfeng rarely had some free time, so he came to the Tianqin to hang out. It seemed that he came to see his daughter. Today happened to be a collision experiment, so he followed Yue Yuan to conduct the command on the Tianqin. Center viewing.

What did it knock out? This is the first collision experiment and I want to produce some results. I think I am overthinking it, and I will probably get lonely. In response to Yue Yuan's question, Yu Nanfeng complained in his heart, but he didn't say it. In that case, he looked like he was thinking seriously and then said: "From the theoretical data, this collision has reached the electromagnetic volt energy level of 10 to the 15th power GeV. Theoretically, it has reached the energy level of the grand unified theory. Requirements, but the actual situation needs to be analyzed. I think it is difficult to get the results we want to see the first time, and the probability is too small.

Our kind of collision experiment is equivalent to opening the blind box of the laws of nature in the universe. If you open the first one, it will naturally be the possession of the European Emperor. But if you can't open it, I think it is normal. It is a scientific experiment, and the total length is not the same. strangeness. "

Yue Yuan nodded. He was naturally familiar with trial and error. If you can't open it, keep driving. If you get the wrong answer, keep trying until all errors are eliminated. There is no shortcut at all. Of course, if the method is correct, the success rate of trial and error can still be improved, such as the experiments done by humans now.

Without the foundation of a grand unified theory, humans would not know that building an astronomical-level particle collider is a possible solution, and the scope of trial and error would not be narrowed. This may be regarded as a shortcut, but it is not a shortcut for cheating, but a shortcut created by human efforts.

"I hope so!" Yue Yuan turned to look at the staff who were still busy checking various data feedbacks, and his excitement gradually calmed down.

To be honest, this highly anticipated astronomical particle collision experiment actually only makes everyone excited for a while at the beginning. The promotional images are also played in this way. After the particle beam is emitted, many programs that broadcast related particle collision experiments have cut the screen to the operation command center, which has become an interview between on-site reporters and some relevant persons in charge.

There is no way around it. Unless after the collision is over, the entire collision experiment process is made into a short video for the public to watch by using video editing and animation production, otherwise scientific experiments will look so boring and uninteresting.

After all, ordinary people will not sit there and wait for the feedback results after more than two months, or even if they wait for the feedback results, they will not understand them. Scientists and relevant staff still have to analyze and summarize the feedback of various data and finally draw conclusions, and then speak them in a language that everyone can understand, so that the public can understand and hear them.

And this process is more than two months. More than two months is the time for the collision experiment to complete the collision and feedback the data. Researchers also need to analyze and summarize the data, and it is not known how long it will take to draw conclusions.

So after the exciting beginning stage is completed, most ordinary people turn off the news channel and then go about their own business. Only some people who are very interested in scientific progress acted as if they were afraid of missing any details of the conversation and paid attention to the subsequent interviews with scientists.
