Super Dimension Technology Era

At this moment.

There was dead silence in the control room of the laboratory. Except for Zhang Tingyu who was startled, everyone else stared at the rows of computer screens in stunned silence.

At the moment when the high-energy π neutrino flow brushed past those uranium and plutonium blocks, all the radioactivity detectors and neutron detectors monitoring the uranium and plutonium blocks instantly changed to environmental radiation values.

Zhang Tingyu, who had regained some sense, quickly ordered: "Review the data just now."

"good."

The researchers quickly reviewed the data on the computer. Looking at the data on the computer, the results of the 12 radiation detectors and 12 neutron detectors were exactly the same.

Sure enough, they were all right. When the high-energy π neutrino flow brushed through the uranium and plutonium blocks, the radiation from the uranium and plutonium blocks instantly dropped to the level of ambient radiation, and the number of neutrons returned directly to zero.

It's the same situation with six uranium blocks and plutonium blocks.

The thoughts in Zhang Tingyu's mind started to swirl. Could it be that the high-energy π neutrinos had an interference effect on the detector? No, if it was interference, the radiation detector would not be able to show the normal environmental radiation dose.

Among the people present, except for Huang Mingzhe who had already expected this result, the rest were laymen such as Ye Qi who did not know what to do.

"Deputy Zhang."

Zhang Tingyu, who was deep in thought, suddenly woke up.

"General Manager Huang, what are your orders?"

"Conduct a sustained collision."

Zhang Tingyu thought for a while and replied: "If the current power is used, the power supply system of our base can support a continuous collision of 10 to 15 minutes at most."

"Then let's continue the collision for 5 minutes."

"good."

The experiment began again, but this time high-energy carbon ions continued to collide in the collider, and a steady stream of π neutrinos was excited.

Through the amplification blessing of the neutrino reflection device, high-energy π neutrinos continuously wash away the uranium and plutonium blocks.

The data on the screen connected to the detector showed that at this moment the uranium and plutonium chunks had lost their radioactivity.

Judging from the detection screen of the high-precision infrared camera, the temperature of the uranium and plutonium blocks dropped immediately after being washed away by the high-energy neutrino flow. After about three minutes of washing, the temperature of the uranium and plutonium blocks reached room temperature of 24 degrees Celsius.

Originally, due to the high concentration, radioactivity would make the uranium and plutonium blocks themselves slightly hotter than ordinary metals.

The changes in this temperature are very obvious under the high-precision infrared camera.

Various current indications indicate that the radioactivity of uranium and plutonium blocks has really disappeared temporarily.

Zhang Tingyu turned his head curiously and asked: "General Manager Huang, is this your theory? High-energy π neutrinos can suppress the decay of radioactive elements."

Huang Mingzhe shook his head and replied: "It's not about suppressing radioactive elements."

"Not suppression?"

"The law of parity non-conservation tells us that there is a lack of asymmetry among particles under the weak nuclear force, and this situation is the root cause of nuclear fission, that is, the beta decay of the nucleus."

Zhang Tingyu certainly knows this. Under the weak nuclear force, asymmetry is missing. In beta decay, the nucleus undergoes the following three types of changes: X→ Y+e-+-ve(β-decay), X→ Y+e++ve( β+decay), X+e-→ Y+ve(EC).

The decay energies released by the three types are: Qβ-=(mx-mY)c^2; Qβ+=(mx-mY-2me)c^2; QEC=(mx-mY)c^2-wi.

The emission of positrons is called "positive beta decay", and the emission of electrons is called "negative beta decay".

In positive beta decay, a proton in the nucleus transforms into a neutron, releasing a positron and a neutrino at the same time; in negative beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus transforms into a proton, releasing an electron and an electron at the same time. Neutrino.

In addition, electron capture is also a type of beta decay, called electron capture beta decay.

From here we can see that beta decay is the embodiment of radioactive elements, and its fundamental reason is caused by parity non-conservation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tingyu finally reacted: "Could it be that high-energy π neutrinos can temporarily conserve parity in the nucleus?"

Huang Mingzhe nodded: "This is my theory, parity is completed."

Many people present are physicists, and they all know that parity nonconservation is the foundation of the existence of the universe.

If parity was conserved from the beginning of the universe, our universe today would be aborted without defective particles. For example, there would be as much matter and antimatter. The result would still be the annihilation of matter and antimatter together, leaving only photons and dark matter in the universe. .

It is precisely the existence of this defect that allows a little more positive matter to give birth to celestial bodies and life in the universe.

Huang Mingzhe uses high-energy π neutrinos to continuously supplement the defects of particles, so that the nucleus is temporarily in a stable state, that is, it temporarily loses radioactivity.

When radioactive elements lose their radioactivity, the consequence is that they are temporarily unable to undergo nuclear fission. Although nuclear fusion will not be directly affected, don't forget that currently humans have no way to directly conduct nuclear fusion.

Hydrogen bombs usually use a built-in small fission bomb to detonate, which can further stimulate the nuclear fusion reaction.

Zhang Tingyu has obviously thought of this. No wonder Huang Mingzhe wants to conduct experiments in such a secret base. If this thing explodes, the result will be the complete collapse of the fragile balance of the world.

Especially due to the ghost particle characteristics of neutrinos, there is almost no material that can block neutrinos. Even on the other side of the blue star, neutrinos can still easily penetrate the crust, mantle, and core.

Of course, the consequences of emitting high-energy π neutrinos at the earth's crust may be very serious, because the interior of the blue star is a huge radioactive nuclear battery.

Once the radioactive activity in the earth's core is stopped for a long time, it is very likely that the temperature of the blue star will drop rapidly, triggering the overall cooling of the blue star, and a real ice age.

Huang Mingzhe looked at the data and decided to enter the next stage of the experiment.

A miniature nuclear reactor was pushed onto the launch track. This miniature nuclear reactor had very little nuclear fuel, but it was just right for testing.

"General Manager Huang, everything is ready."

"Then let's get started!"

"good."

Zhang Tingyu was so excited that he stared at the nuclear reactor. The computer on one side was showing the nuclear fission reaction.

As the high-energy π neutrino flow washed over, the nuclear fission reaction of the miniature nuclear reactor stopped in an instant, and all nuclear fission reactions stopped.

"It's amazing." Zhang Tingyu was so excited that his body was trembling.

Although Ye Qi on the side did not understand the scientific principle, he still knew that the micro nuclear reactor stopped the chain reaction.

This invention is no less than the realization of controllable nuclear fusion, because this thing can suppress nuclear fission reactions, which means that nuclear weapons will lose their effectiveness.

After more than a week of continuous testing, Ye Qi even carried a miniature nuclear reactor 75 kilometers away through secret internal transportation. High-energy π neutrinos can also suppress nuclear fission reactions at this distance.

As for the distance beyond this, due to the curvature limit of the Blue Star's planet surface, about 80 kilometers is now the limit of the straight-line distance of neutrinos.

Of course, this straight-line distance is not unchangeable. For example, by directly penetrating the crust or even the mantle, the straight-line distance of neutrinos can be extended.

However, research in this area needs to be considered in the long term. After all, there may be a large number of radioactive elements in the lower mantle. High-energy π neutrinos will block radioactivity. If they accidentally escape, it will be really ruined.
