Super Battleship Reborn

At present, in front of Xiao Yu, there are two technological obstacles that urgently need to be broken through. One is elemental decay technology, and the other is faster-than-light navigation technology.

These two technologies are complementary. The elemental decay technology is the cornerstone of the faster-than-light navigation technology. Xiao Yu has already done relevant experiments, taking Hebei as an example. In theory, the 40 million tons of nuclear fusion fuel loaded on Hebei is only enough to support Hebei's super-light voyage of less than 100 light-years.

But this obstacle will be resolved after a breakthrough in elemental decay technology. Due to volume limitations, Hebei needs most of the space in the hull to load nuclear fusion fuel, that is, deuterium. However, after replacing the same volume of deuterium with heavy elements, such as the most abundant heavy element on the earth, silicon, Hebei will be able to carry 1.3 billion tons.

This means that if calculated simply by the voyage distance, the endurance of the Hebei will reach 10,000 light-years. Of course, the actual situation will be much smaller than this number. After all, Hebei still needs energy in many other places, such as calculation, such as defense, such as weapons and steering, and so on. Based on comprehensive calculations, after a breakthrough in elemental decay technology, the endurance of the Hebei can reach at least a thousand light-years.

At that time, Xiao Yu will fully enter the technical level measured by light years.

On an orbit two billion kilometers away from the central star, Xiao Yu and Lucca scientists are doing intense research.

Large particle colliders are already in orbit around the central star. Because of the large size of this star, Xiao Yu had to dismantle hundreds of country-level spacecraft, remanufactured some parts, and added them in, before he could barely build a large particle collider. There is no way, within this empty star system. Xiao Yu didn't get any material supplements.

The central star is losing mass at a rate of nearly one billion tons per second. These masses are thrown out from the surface by the central star in the form of interstellar dust and scattered in the vast space. But Xiao Yu has no way to collect these qualities. Xiao Yu has done relevant calculations. If he builds a thousand-faced giant collection network powered by stellar energy with an area of ​​one square kilometer, and keeps wandering in space to collect mass, he can collect about ten tons of matter per hour.

This is obviously a loss-making business, Xiao Yu gave up this idea very simply. Instead, obtain supplies by dismantling the spacecraft. Anyway, it only needs to last for two hundred years. After two hundred years, he will either die or escape from this prison. There is no need to implement this plan.

During the more than one hundred years of avoiding other civilizations. The population of Lucca society has grown to more than two hundred thousand. Lucca society is roughly the same as human society, but life expectancy is much longer. Xiao Yu was not willing to give up those Lucca scientists who had mastered extremely rich knowledge and died of premature aging. So Xiao Yu also conducted some research on biotechnology. At present, the average life expectancy of the Luca people has been raised to about 500 years old.

After more than a hundred years,

The number of scientists in Lucca has reached about 2,000. Luca III served as the highest scientific officer without any objection, and Luca II still served as its highest social officer.

In order to properly arrange these research forces, try to play their role. Xiao Yu disassembled the original provincial transport ship, used some of the materials for other purposes, and built a brand new city-level spaceship with the remaining materials.

Xiao Yu named this city-level spaceship Eternal Kingdom. Eternal kingdom. It is the kingdom of the true god in the legend of Lucca civilization. In this spaceship, Xiao Yu has arranged extremely complete and most advanced research equipment under the current technology for use by Lucca scientists.

The Eternal Kingdom stays not far from the Paradise, and the Lucca scientists can easily travel between the two spaceships in the small spaceship assigned to them. In the Eternal Kingdom, they carry out scientific research, and in the Paradise, they can live comfortably and entertain.

At this moment, it has been twenty years since Xiao Yu was imprisoned in this prison. Inside the Eternal Kingdom, the scientists of Lucca are doing intense research work.

The theoretical cornerstone of element decay technology has been established, and what is needed now is a large number of experiments to find out the most efficient way to realize it.

In a laboratory, several Lucca scientists in white coats were watching a transparent glass box closely. In this glass box, there is a very common thing, a piece of iron with a mass of about one kilogram, floating there in the air.

Next to this transparent glass box, there are densely packed lines. These lines extend out, and it is unknown where they are connected to and which complicated instruments.

Through these lines, some strange rays were emitted, which acted on the iron block.

Just in the microcosm, a violent reaction invisible to the naked eye is taking place.

That is a microscopic structure smaller than molecules and atoms. Within the scope of the strong interaction force, the quarks that constitute hadrons are suddenly scattered, and they are scattered in the empty space inside the atom, and the phenomenon of quark exchange also occurs between different atoms. That is, quarks inside an atom sometimes escape to other atoms.

They pervade the entire atomic space, and their distribution presents the characteristics of a cloud, as if it were an electron cloud.

This process, in the eyes of Luca scientists, means that the volume of this piece of iron suddenly increased. At the same time, it began to emit faint infrared rays.

This should be a small-scale collision of quarks during the dispersion process, and the energy level transition caused the generation of photons. A Lucca scientist said.

After the scientist finished speaking, an assistant immediately recorded this passage, and sent it to Xiao Yu through the communication system for Xiao Yu to analyze.

Scenes like this happened in dozens of laboratories at the same time, and data was submitted to Xiao Yu every moment for Xiao Yu to analyze.

After the assistant finished submitting, the scientist ordered: Reverse the two instruments, strengthen the strong interaction force, and weaken the electromagnetic force.

Okay. Another assistant agreed and pressed a few buttons on the instrument.

In the microcosm, the quarks that permeate the inner space of the atom, showing the characteristics of electron cloud, suddenly seemed to go crazy, and each of them collided with the quark closest to them.

In the violent impact, quarks recombine into hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. In this process, some quarks disappear out of thin air. They became photons, or neutrinos, and escaped from the inside of the iron.

In the eyes of the Luca scientists, it was the piece of material in the glass box that suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light, which lasted for a few minutes. After a few minutes, the light gradually dimmed, and the piece of iron reappeared. out of the figure. It's just that his size has shrunk by half.

Because the glass box has the function of isolating excessively strong light, the Lucca scientists who were observing outside were not affected by the strong light.

Neutrinos and bursts of photons were detected, and these photons carried very high energies. The analysis showed that in this reaction, the kilogram of iron lost 48 percent of its mass, and its mass remained At the same time, calculations based on the mass-energy formula show that the energy carried by the photons and neutrinos emitted by it is converted into mass, which is exactly 480 grams, which conforms to the law of conservation of mass and energy.”

Comprehensive excitation energy, neutrino energy loss calculation, the comprehensive energy utilization rate of element decay is 40%. The remaining 8% energy is the necessary energy loss.

In the process of element decay, energy is mainly emitted in the form of photons, accompanied by the birth of photons, and some neutrinos. These neutrinos are like thieves who steal energy. They steal the energy and take it as their own, and then escape in an instant due to their extremely difficult to react with other substances.

The energy stolen by neutrinos, the energy lost in the conversion process, and the energy required to activate the equipment for converting electromagnetic force and strong interaction force are calculated comprehensively, and the conclusion is that during the decay process of elements, Up to 40% of the mass is converted into energy, which can be used by Xiao Yu.

This is an experiment with the highest energy utilization rate among tens of thousands of experiments in recent decades. At the same time, in this way, safety and other aspects can also be effectively guaranteed. The entire process of this experiment, as well as our Conclusion, submit it to the master.

The scientist who presided over the experiment couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said to his assistant in a hurried voice.

Congratulations, Mr. Wells, with this achievement, I think the master will definitely assign you the honorable title of 'Luca IV'. An assistant next to him said enviously.

The name that Xiao Yu mentioned casually at the beginning has now become the supreme honorary title in Lucca society. You know, in the entire Lucca society, with a population of more than 200,000, only Lucca No. 2 and Lucca No. 3 have won such titles. Of these two people, one is the highest scientific consul and the other is the highest social consul. It is conceivable that after No. 2 and No. 3, the title of Luca No. 4 represents such a lofty honor.

However, Xiao Yu is not prepared to give away the title of Luca No. 4 easily. The title of Lucca IV is like a noble crown, inspiring thousands of Lucca scientists to fight for it.

However, after receiving the latest test report on the decay of elements from the Eternal Kingdom, Xiao Yu had a premonition that he had to give away this hat. (To be continued..)

ps: Finally finished the third chapter, huh, the third update is over, please ask for tickets again~~~ Tomorrow, the third update will continue.
