Super Dimension Technology Era

Use a large particle collider to create micro black holes, and then use micro black holes to create neutron degenerate matter.

Huang Mingzhe, Li Qun, and Ma Zhili, who rushed back from the asteroid belt, worked together. After more than three months of sleepless research, they finally figured out some rules.

The Laboratory of Physical Properties of Neutron Degenerate Matter is directly in charge of Huang Mingzhe, Li Qun is in charge of production technology, and Ma Zhili is in charge of practical applications.

On the experimental table in front of Huang Mingzhe, there is a bottle of neutron degenerate matter. The bottle is about the same size as a common thermos flask. There is a label on the bottle that reads [N16].

N16 represents neutron degenerate matter composed of 16 neutrons.

So far, a total of 64 neutron degenerate substances have been discovered, namely N1~N64.

Among them, odd-numbered neutron degenerate substances other than N1, N9, N25, and N27 are unstable substances, and their stable existence period is usually only a few minutes to ten minutes.

Even-numbered neutron degenerate matter is obviously more stable and can generally exist for a long time, ranging from months to decades.

Huang Mingzhe looked at the report on the virtual display screen. It showed the physical and chemical properties of N16. What puzzled him was that the decay period of N16 is about 13 to 14 years.

This is a result obtained through precise measurements and calculations.

The puzzling part is that this decay period is inconsistent with the condition of the Nibelung spacecraft shell. It has been at least two hundred years since the Nibelung spacecraft came to the solar system, but the spacecraft shell composed of N16 has not decayed and disintegrated yet.

There is an obvious contradiction between the two here. Huang Mingzhe's research on the physical and chemical properties of N16 can be proved from other neutron degenerate materials that the error will not exceed one ten thousandth.

So the issue here concerned him very much.

…

Ma Zhili hurriedly controlled the stand-in robot to come in and saw Huang Mingzhe who was meditating with his eyes closed. He didn't know whether to speak or not.

Huang Mingzhe, who had his eyes closed, opened them. He had already sensed someone entering the office.

"Old Ma, what's the matter?"

Ma Zhili said subconsciously: "President, oh... Chairman, I want to ask about N16."

"Do you want to ask why the N16 we made and the N16 made by the Nibelungs have different decay periods?" Huang Mingzhe had obviously guessed what he wanted to ask.

Ma Zhili nodded: "That's the problem."

"To be honest, I can't figure out the mystery yet." Huang Mingzhe replied, spreading his hands.

"Is that so?" When he heard that Huang Mingzhe didn't know, Ma Zhili immediately didn't dare to hold out too much hope, because he knew that if Huang Mingzhe couldn't handle something, others wouldn't be able to solve it.

"Although I don't understand it yet, I still have some ideas."

"That's great. I hope the chairman can overcome this issue as soon as possible." After Ma Zhili finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something else:

"Chairman, I want to make a drill bit using N16 material to see if it can break through the Nibelung spacecraft..."

Drill bit? Nibelung spaceship? Huang Mingzhe frowned slightly and interrupted the other party directly: "Old Ma, don't do this for the time being. That spaceship may have unknown dangers. We should not act rashly until we are sure."

"This..." Ma Zhili, who was hesitant to speak, looked at the resolute Huang Mingzhe, and finally gave up the idea of ​​violently breaking through the Nibelung spacecraft.

…

I discussed the application of neutron materials with Ma Zhili for half a day.

Among the 64 neutron materials, only 13 can currently be studied for practical applications.

These 13 neutron materials are: N2, N4, N6, N8, N9, N10, N12, N14, N16, N18, N20, N22, and N24.

Neutron materials are classified similarly to atoms, such as N2, N3, N4 and N6, which are gases, and two liquids, N13 and N30. The remaining neutron materials are solid at normal temperatures and pressures.

In addition, neutron materials are weakly magnetic and neutrally electric. Even in a strong magnetic field, the electromagnetic induction of neutron materials cannot be stimulated.

This is something now and has become a new discipline - neutron materials science.

I believe that as more and more new human scientists devote themselves to neutron materials science, they will soon be able to gain an in-depth understanding of the various properties and functions of neutron materials.

The Scientific Committee has passed a plenary meeting and decided to add neutron materials science to the university. In addition, about 50,000 new human scientific researchers have been mobilized to collectively tackle neutron materials science.

The adaptability and response speed of new humans to new technologies and new things are much stronger than those of the AD era.

The Supreme Will is a collection of new human wills. It can adapt to and make the most reasonable changes in a few days in response to the changes in society, culture, technology, and the natural universe.

For example, if a milk quality problem arises today, it does not take ten days for the supreme will to introduce comprehensive amendments.

Opportunism and taking advantage of legal loopholes are of course unavoidable, especially since all new humans are knowledgeable, and there are many people who want to take advantage of legal loopholes.

But the Supreme Will is not a vegetarian. As soon as the first person who tries to take advantage of the situation appears, the Supreme Will will activate the amendment process and plug the loopholes as quickly as possible.

As soon as neutron materials appeared, the scientific committee fully evaluated the risks, benefits, and future impacts that this technology might bring.

It was quickly established as one of the five new technological directions in the new era. The response speed can be said to be very fast.

If this kind of technology appeared in the AD era, it is estimated that it can be played in the laboratory for decades, and then we will discuss whether there is any benefit. The wrangling will last for more than ten years. In the end, we still don’t know whether it can be launched.

Just like controllable nuclear fusion technology, the concept appeared as early as the Cold War. As a result, it has been struggling for decades and is still half-dead.

If Huang Mingzhe and Wei Feng hadn't taken action, it is estimated that mankind would have perished without having any controllable nuclear fusion.

…

With the addition of a large number of fresh blood, the research progress of neutron materials has increased rapidly.

Huang Mingzhe and his scientific researchers are studying why N16, the shell of the Nibelung spacecraft, can break through the decay period and be preserved for a long time.

In terms of practical applications of neutron materials, Ma Zhili has also successively developed many neutron material application projects.

On the contrary, the neutron material production process that Li Qun was responsible for was progressing very slowly.

It’s not that Li Qun and others didn’t work hard, it’s that the production process of neutron materials is really difficult.

After more than three months of hard work, we are now able to increase the production capacity of neutron materials to 15 grams per hour.

The reality is such a pitfall. Only 15 grams of neutron material can be produced per hour, and 16 large-scale Jinwu nuclear fusion reactors continue to generate electricity. The large particle collider consumes 5 years of Shanghai's electricity consumption in one hour.

The production volume of this thing is comparable to that of antimatter.

Ma Zhili and Li Qun really couldn't imagine how the Nibelungs could produce so much N16 to build spaceships.

However, a group of new humans shuddered at the thought that the Nibelungs might use energy siphon devices in large quantities.

If you use too much energy siphon, it will cause vacuum decay.

Before we knew it, time came to the end of December, Year 2 of the New Era.

Huang Mingzhe, who was cracking the secret of Nibelung N16, put down the pen in his hand and let out a sigh of relief.
