Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 639 The Darkness Before Dawn

Humanity has already made clear the direction of progress, which is warp speed navigation technology, but it is only a clear direction. Human scientists have no idea how to achieve warp speed.

Yes, that's right. In the original theory of human civilization, warp speed navigation requires strong negative energy to distort time and space, so that there is a big difference in the space warp speed of the front and rear of the spacecraft/warship, just like applying soap to the tail of a paper boat to destroy the surface tension of the water behind, and then the water surface itself holds the spacecraft forward.

In terms of space manifestation, it is gravity-related technology. After all, in the existing scientific theory of mankind, only gravity can distort time and space, but the problem is that human scientists now have no possibility of mastering gravity-related technology on the visible road.

The grand unified theory currently explored by humans with astronomical particle colliders is actually the unification of strong interaction force and electroweak force. It is the true unification of the three basic forces of the universe, not including gravity. If gravity is included, it must be called the theory of everything/theory of everything, which is the symbolic theory of level 5 civilization. This has been confirmed by the "drift bottle" left by the pioneers, that is, the rhombus crystal. It can be said that humans have understood the symbolic theory of level 4 and above civilization.

But it is also because of this that the development of mankind is now in confusion, because people simply cannot figure out how the so-called warp speed is achieved after the strong force is unified to form a grand unified theory.

In fact, it is not only the human technology tree, but also the history of scientific development of the Chiyan civilization, and there is no relevant record. The Chiyan civilization is even far inferior to humans in basic theory, and they have not discovered the Casimir effect.

According to the previous scientific development of mankind, by the time when astronomical particle colliders have been built and experiments have begun, there should be many conjectures about how the grand unified theory can achieve warp speed navigation, but now there is no conjecture.

Human scientists seem to have lost their imagination about achieving warp speed in an instant. They seem to be unable to think of ways to achieve warp speed except gravity.

This is a terrible thing, because there is a direction but it cannot be thought of, which seems to mean the limitations of human imagination. For this reason, human scientific research institutions have also deliberately released this matter to scientific research institutions in the Chiyan civilization, Kuntai people, Nair people, and dog-headed people, so that they can also participate in the imagination of warp speed.

But unfortunately, like humans, they are at a loss for what to do, and even worse than humans. They have never thought of many ideas that humans can think of.

At this moment, humans remembered what the awakener said about the upper limit of wisdom when they met the awakener. If the awakener had not mentioned things like talent, scientists would now doubt whether they could understand the grand unified theory.

Because the collision experiments are carried out day after day, but there are indeed no new discoveries.

As time goes by, human experiments in particle collisions have gradually expanded from neutron bombardment to other lepton and baryon collision experiments. In theory, the energy level of each experiment has reached the 10 to the 15th power GeV electron volt energy level required by the grand unified theory, but no new phenomena can be discovered.

One after another, human scientific teams have been experimenting with astronomical particle colliders. One year, two years, three years, ten years, twenty years, thirty years, half a century has passed, and the new discovery that scientists have been thinking about has never appeared, as if it does not exist at all.

This result is undoubtedly very frustrating for humans, but no one gives up easily. Although scientists from all scientific teams are anxious, everyone has a belief in their hearts, that is, to keep going until success.

Perhaps, the only thing that can make humans proud is the successful creation of an astronomical particle collider. Because energy levels are something that humans can easily calculate, this astronomical particle collider has indeed met the requirements, and even in the experiment of accelerating some leptons, there are collision experiments where the energy levels overflow the theoretical scope.

This is of course an experiment conducted by some scientists who suspect that the energy level is insufficient. After three decades of failed experiments, they applied for hundreds of overload collision experiments, that is, to apply a magnetic field strength exceeding the rated working state to the acceleration magnetic field of the astronomical particle collider, so that the accelerated particles can obtain a higher collision speed.

However, there are no accidents in this kind of collision experiment, and no hidden secrets have been discovered.

Half a century of experiments have made scientists wonder whether the detection module of the astronomical particle collider is not advanced enough, or that its detection module itself cannot detect new phenomena in the experiment, which has led to no abnormal experimental discoveries for so many years.

To this end, the Human Development Committee has held relevant scientific seminars many times and put the demand for detection modules on the daily research. Experts in materials science, computer science and engineering have worked hard for many years to improve the detection module of astronomical particle colliders, so as to provide the possibility of capturing new particle trajectories.

However, the subsequent experimental results after the improvement clearly told humans: you haven't done enough.

Yes, there is still nothing. The improved detection module captures particle trajectories more clearly, and the data obtained by humans is more accurate, but it still cannot change the fact that no new phenomena have been discovered.

So a scientific team proposed another possibility, that is, the existing detection methods of humans cannot detect new phenomena at all, or the theoretical energy level calculation is wrong.

If humans conduct experiments at an incorrectly predicted energy level, it will naturally be impossible to discover new phenomena in collision experiments.

So what should we do next? The scientific team that proposed these two possibilities believes that one is to continue to lengthen the length of the particle collider so that humans can obtain higher energy level experimental conditions, and the other is to re-filter the so-called grand unified theory. The theoretical idea of ​​the energy level of 10 to the power of 15 GeV electron volts.

There is no problem with the second point. As soon as they raised this suspicion, other scientific teams were working on it. As for the first point, it was directly rejected by the new government.

It's not that the new government doesn't support continued experiments, but the time and cost of continuing to lengthen the particle collider is too great, and it has to continue mining from the eight star systems that have been almost hollowed out.

Just after so many years, mankind has made some small progress in magnetic field technology. Therefore, after rejecting the first point, human engineers directly proposed to use the most advanced magnetic field technology of mankind to modify the particle collider. The proposal to speed up the system upgrade was implemented immediately.

After half a century of upgrades, human scientists once again put their energy into experiments, but the results were still the same. What they detected were experimental phenomena that humans had already known.

This is undoubtedly disappointing, but many scientists still firmly believe that this is the darkness before dawn. The experiment was unsuccessful, but the current experimental method is wrong. As long as we continue to make selections and continue trial and error, one day humans will be able to discover real clues to the grand unified theory in experiments.
