Future Technology Powerhouse

The aero-engine was successfully developed, and Zhang Zhi was very happy to see them. He found that it was already 12:00 noon. It's time to eat.

He and Ye Yuan said: Gong Ye, your project is successful now. You don't have to stare at this place all the time, let's go to the cafeteria to eat.

Zhang Zhi, Yan Jiliang, Ye Yuan, Xiao Wenhuai and the others walked together to the large canteen located in the northeast corner of the first floor of the factory.

They enter a booth, each order their favorite dishes, and the waiter starts serving them.

The standards of Xingyu Technology's canteens are the same, and their dishes are very rich.

When Zhang Zhi and the others were eating, Yan Jiliang mentioned that the experiment of the three-way particle collider would start in the afternoon.

Zhang Zhi took a bite of the dish, he swallowed it and tasted it. The canteen chef's craftsmanship is not as good as Li Lingqiu's, but he still has a unique flavor.

He looked at Ye Yuan and Xiao Wenhuai on the opposite side, and said with a smile: Manager Xiao, Mr. Ye. The ionization engine has many uses, and we need to explore its potential.

Xiao Wenhuai and Ye Yuan nodded in agreement, they also felt that the ionization engine still had a lot of potential, this kind should be a primary application.

After they finished the meal happily, Zhang Zhi and Yan Jiliang went to the experimental site of the three-way particle collider.

Xiao Wenhuai returned to Yufei Company to arrange the production line of the flying car.

Ye Yuan continued to inspect the condition of the aero-engine. He wanted to collect various data of the aero-engine to accumulate experience for designing better aero-engines in the future.

Zhang Zhi and Yan Jiliang came to a very spacious room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a 50 meters in diameter and 10 meters in height. Like a mosquito coil being stretched, it is coiled three-dimensionally, with a device with three pipes.

Zhang Zhi estimates that the total length of this pipeline is over a thousand meters.

In front of it is a large cylinder with a diameter of 2 meters. Behind it is a large round ball with a diameter of five meters.

It has three pipes connected to the cylinder and the ball respectively.

He recognized at a glance that this was the three-way particle collider designed by himself, and this was a scaled-down model of its various parts.

Each part of it has different reduction ratios, and this disk-shaped device is an accelerator for particle cyclotron acceleration.

It is a cyclotron composed of several accelerators with different magnetic field strengths connected together.

The front cylinder is the element exciter, and only charged particles can be accelerated in the electromagnetic field.

For example, to accelerate an oxygen atom, the only way to remove its extranuclear electrons is to make its nucleus positively charged.

This element exciter strips the electrons outside the nucleus of the electrically neutral atom, and excites the nucleus at a high speed.

That spherical device is the element condenser, and this device is the place where collision occurs, and new elements are produced.

When the three atomic nuclei are accelerated to sub-light speed, their particles obtain very high energy.

Under certain conditions, trinuclear fusion occurs. Generate a new element.

This new element has only the nucleus, and it is in the device of the element condenser to carry out the electronic compensation outside the nucleus. This is a whole new element.

Zhang Zhi saw that the three-way particle collider had been built. He was full of emotion, this is the foundation of the company in the future.

No one knows the unknown element, what function it has.

Zhang Zhi asked Yan Jiliang, Manager Yan, is this three-way particle collider usable now?

Yan Jiliang said confidently: This is a product that we have scaled down according to the scale model.

Its acceleration channel is very short, that is, it uses a super-strong magnetic field. Accelerates the particles inside it.

This shortens its lifespan, barely reaching the speed of three particle fusion nuclei.

That's it, our tiny collider. It doesn't go as far as it's designed to allow bunches of particles to start colliding.

Only three particles can be collided. This is a crude verification machine.

Zhang Zhi was not surprised when he heard this result.

For this miniature device, he just verified whether the three-way particle collider can be successful. Whether the Zhong element really exists.

Only when the verification is correct can the country make up its mind to invest in this costly project.

Zhang Zhi said to Yan Jiliang: Are you ready? Can we start the experiment?

Yan Jiliang nodded and said, We are ready and can start at any time.

Zhang Zhi said happily: Since we can start, let's experiment. We won't waste time.

Hearing Zhang Zhi's order, Yan Jiliang ordered the staff to prepare for the experiment.

After a period of careful operation, they started to activate the three-way particle collider.

Yan Jiliang saw that the equipment had been activated and was about to start working. He immediately ordered: All personnel leave this room and start preparations for first-level security protection.

The employees in the room began to exit one after another, and the equipment was controlled by artificial intelligence. Only the robots are left to operate.

Zhang Zhi and Yan Jiliang were the last to leave. He saw that the ceiling and walls of this room were blocked by metal plates about two meters thick.

After Zhang Zhi and Yan Jiliang withdrew, he said in surprise: It can't be like this! This is a physics experiment. It looks like some dangerous experiment.

Yan Jiliang said with a wry smile: Mr. Zhang, we had to do this as a last resort. There are high-speed particles inside. The energy is extremely high. If it hits people.

No matter how advanced our medicine is, it cannot revive people who die instantly. It is so powerful that even concrete walls cannot resist it.

After the room was completely sealed off, they came to the main control room of the three-way particle collider.

From the main control room, Zhang Zhi could clearly see the situation in the room, and he could also see the situation in the three-way particle collider.

Zhang Zhi saw the scientist operating the three-way particle collider, and he said calmly, Let's get started, it's time for us to witness the emergence of new elements.

Hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the scientists in the control room began to press the start button. The three-way particle collider starts.

The self-test status of the device appears on the light curtain.

During the equipment self-inspection, the element exciter is normal, the cyclotron is normal, and the element condenser is normal.

All equipment is normal, and the experiment is officially started. Experimenters are asked to stay away from this equipment.

The element exciter is activated, and the three atoms of zinc, mercury, and lead have stripped off the electrons outside the nucleus.

Zhang Zhi saw on the screen that three kinds of atomic nuclei had entered the cyclotron.

They have been accelerated step by step and have reached sub-light speed.

This speed can be said to have mass in the macroscopic state. The highest speed they can achieve.

They are extremely fast. At different angles, the three nuclei collide together at the same time.

This is a miniature version that can only collide with one group at a time.

But this device can release a set of nuclei every 50 milliseconds.

The artificial intelligence on the screen is constantly prompting.

Collision failed. Not enough speed.

Collision failed. The angle is wrong.

Collision failed. Particle missing.

...

The collision was successful, but the nuclear fusion failed.

Successful collision, successful fusion, non-target particles.

...

The collision was successful, the nuclear fusion was successful, and the Zhong element was successfully produced.

Zhang Zhi and the others were extremely happy, this is a big event enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

The physics community will always remember this day, November 22, 2018. The artificial elements that are stable and non-radioactive are successfully synthesized here.

Before Zhang Zhi was happy, the monitor saw the explosion of the element condenser, and its fragments shot out to the surroundings.
