I kidnapped an alien civilization

alright!

Now that everyone has learned to reason.

Let's start this meeting. Li Mo opened the suitcase, took out a large stack of manuscripts, and pulled a blackboard from the side.

He turned around and drew a circle on the blackboard, pointed to the circle and said, The sun!

Everyone knows that the biggest difficulty of controllable nuclear fusion is that nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures. It is generally believed that deuterium-tritium plasma is heated to 100 million degrees Celsius to maintain sustainable nuclear fusion.

But all the materials on our earth cannot accommodate ions with a temperature as high as 100 million degrees Celsius. So in order to solve this problem, two solutions have emerged. One is inertial confinement, which uses inertia to confine extremely high-temperature plasma, such as Our country’s Shenguang and the national ignition plan of country M; the other is magnetic confinement, which uses magnetic force to confine high-temperature plasma, such as tokamak and stellarator.”

But have you ever thought about a question, why the sun's internal temperature is only 16 million degrees, which does not meet the fusion conditions of 100 million degrees Celsius, but it can produce continuous nuclear fusion?

Quantum tunneling! Professor Sun from the high-energy physics theory research school raised his hand first: There is a quantum tunneling effect between the deuterium particles and tritium particles inside the sun, so it can happen at a temperature of 16 million degrees. sustainable nuclear fusion.

The quantum tunneling effect is an anti-common sense effect in quantum mechanics, and it is also a key mechanism for nuclear fusion of stars in the universe. It represents the quantum behavior that microscopic particles can penetrate or cross the potential barrier, although the height of the potential barrier is greater than the total energy of the particle.

In layman's terms, deuterium particles and tritium particles need to be heated to 100 million degrees Celsius before their nuclei have enough energy to overcome the Coulomb potential barrier, making the distance between the nuclei less than 10nm, thus nuclear fusion occurs.

When the temperature on the sun is only 16 million degrees Celsius, some nuclei will pass through the Coulomb potential barrier under the quantum tunneling effect, thereby promoting nuclear fusion.

It's just that the probability of quantum tunneling effect is extremely low, so low that humans can't imagine it. It stands to reason that it is difficult to happen spontaneously on the sun because the probability is too low. However, the sun has a characteristic, that is, it is big enough. And therefore, the number of particles forming the sun is enough. Even if the probability is small, it can happen on the basis of the sun.

Just like in human cognition, it is an impossible event for a person to go through a wall!

Everything in this universe is composed of particles, and people and walls are no exception. Then according to the quantum tunneling effect, it is possible for the human body to pass through the wall!

It’s just that the probability is too small. If the probability of an atom going through a wall is one in a million, then a person has about 10 to the 27th power of atoms. That is to say, every atom in the human body happens to be The probability of passing through the wall is: 0.0000001 (there are about 160 zeros after the decimal point), and the thicker the wall, the number of zeros will increase exponentially!

This probability is roughly equivalent to the probability that a person wins 5 million once a day from the formation of the universe to the present, and has been winning until now! But as long as the probability is not zero, it must happen once.

Hahaha! Academician Zhou stood up suddenly, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: I thought it was something new?

It turned out to be the quantum tunneling effect.

It is undeniable that due to the existence of quantum tunneling, the conditions required for sustainable nuclear fusion will be greatly reduced.

However, Great Scientist Li, have you overlooked a fact, that is probability!

The probability of the quantum tunneling effect is too low. It is so low that it is unimaginably low that it can only happen with the volume of the sun.

Can you build a fusion generator the size of the sun?

Can't!

So, the quantum tunneling effect is meaningless to our human controllable nuclear fusion project!

The nine professors present also nodded in agreement. The probability of quantum tunneling effect is too low, so low that it is outrageously low. This is a dead end.

Li Mo smiled slightly: I can't make the sun!

But I can increase the probability of quantum tunneling!

There are two ways to increase the number of times a low-probability event occurs in reality. One is to increase the number of samples. When the number of samples is large enough, extremely low-probability events will inevitably occur. The other is to increase the probability of an event and change the small probability to a high probability, so that even if the sample size remains the same, the event will inevitably occur.

As soon as this remark came out, academician Zhou, who still had a lingering smile on his face, stuck on the spot like a piece of wood.

for a long time.

Hahahaha! He came back to his senses and leaned back laughing again, pointed at Li Mo and said, Are you here to be funny?

Hahaha increase the probability and start joking?

This is absolutely impossible!

As he said that, Academician Zhou looked around with his eyes, and saw that the professors were all frowning, with thinking expressions on their faces, as if they were considering this possibility.

How is this going?

Such an uncommon sense idea, do you still need to think about it?

The smile disappeared from his face again, and he asked timidly, ...you guys are really considering this possibility?

Old Zhou, sit down!

Listen to Professor Li! Academician Wang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences frowned and reprimanded. It seemed that Academician Zhou still hadn't given up on the old grievances, but he didn't think about who was the one who came up with this seemingly absurd idea.

Isn't the Moxing battery ridiculous? Isn't Mo Xing ridiculous? Are quantum chips ridiculous?

Isn't it all in the hands of this person, and it has become a reality?

Hearing the reprimand from his colleagues, Academician Zhou realized his gaffe, and sat down with an embarrassed expression.

Professor Li, Academician Zhou is too excited these days.

Please continue to talk about how to increase the probability of quantum tunneling. Academician Wang explained to his colleagues with a smile on his face.

Li Mo nodded slightly, turned around, and wrote three large characters on the blackboard—pure mathematics!

I used pure mathematics to establish a complete mathematical model, and by analyzing the interaction between quantum state particles, I found a method that can increase the probability of quantum tunneling.

Pure mathematics? The scientists who were doing it frowned involuntarily. They had also heard about this new branch of mathematics that has been hotly hyped in the academic world recently.

It is said that this kind of mathematical theory abandons the traditional method of describing the world with physical or chemical methods, and tries to use pure mathematical equations and numerical matrices to describe the nature of things.

For example, to describe an apple, physical methods can measure its size, weight, and volume. Chemical methods can describe its color, taste, and composition.

But the apple in pure mathematics is a complex three-dimensional matrix group, and this matrix group completely represents the apple. The essence of the whole apple is a string of numbers.

In the same way, everything in the world is just a long series of numbers!

This novel world description method has swept the entire mathematics world since it was proposed by the person in front of me.

It's just that in the eyes of high-energy physicists like them, mathematics is only for the service of physics. Therefore, they only have a general understanding of pure mathematics and have not studied it in depth.

After studying the model, I have found the string of purely mathematical numbers for the probability of the quantum tunneling effect! Li Mo looked around the professors with deep eyes, and found a way to change this string of numbers!
