Voyage of the Stars

Back to business.

There were no accidents in the collision experiment conducted by Liu Miyan's team, but the lack of accidents was exactly what they least wanted to see, because that meant that they found nothing as usual.

"Old Liu, this is not the solution. It must be a problem that the energy level of the collider cannot be reached. I think we should find a time to talk to the director. We need to build a more powerful collider." A participant in the experiment The scientist sighed.

Liu Miyan shook his head, "What's the use of asking the director? The key is whether we have the technology to build a collider that meets the requirements. And even if we ask him about this matter, he will put the matter to a meeting for a vote."

"That's what I say, but you can't get around him, right?"

"Okay, then don't look back. I'll go there now."

With that said, Liu Miyan left everyone behind and headed towards the entrance and exit hatch of the scientific research ship. There was a small transport ship used by the fleet to travel between spacecrafts.

Regarding the matter of asking Yue Yuan for feedback, Liu Miyan could actually connect directly through video. He had the authority to directly dial Yue Yuan's communication, but perhaps it was a habit of the earth age, so he felt that it would be better to talk about this kind of thing in person.

The journey from the scientific research spacecraft to the Tianqin was not far. Liu Miyan boarded the flagship Tianqin less than half an hour after boarding the small transport ship, because he had already greeted Yue Yuan in advance through the communication system before departure. Wherever he was at the moment, so he got on the Lyra and headed straight to the bridge.

Tianqin is a giant ship. Its size is larger than that of ordinary sea-class ships, but its interior decoration is not much different from other warships. Liu Miyan also worked a lot on Tianqin before. For a long time, so even without relying on the automatic path finding of the brain chip, he could still find the location of the bridge by relying on his memory.

The bridge of the Tianqin, which is also the command center of the Tianqin, is very spacious. Excluding the space occupied by various machines, equipment, instruments, etc., the activity space is about half the size of a football field. There is a large projection screen in the middle, and then there are multi-functional seats for each work station.

Liu Miyan, who came to the bridge unimpeded, glanced at it first. He was obviously looking for Yue Yuan's location.

After seeing the familiar figure, he simply stopped walking. He used his arms directly with the help of the guide rod and pointed his toes, drifting towards Yue Yuan's location.

He was blocked by the big screen in the middle. After his body floated halfway, Liu Miyan realized that there was another person beside Yue Yuan.

"I'm here, Chief! Academician Yu Nanfeng is also here, that's just right!" After opening the magnetic boots, Liu Miyan fell from the air.

Although he and Yu Nanfeng were not in the same department, they were old acquaintances.

At this moment, Yue Yuan and Yu Nanfeng were sitting face to face. There was a small round table in the middle, but there was nothing on it. On one side of them was the port window of the Tianqin. This position is very good. You can talk and watch the universe outside the battleship.

"Well, sit down." Yue Yuan nodded towards Liu Miyan.

As he spoke, the floor next to the small round table changed. The flat ground suddenly seemed to be penetrated by a mass of flowing mist, and then gathered together and turned into a gray sofa.

This is a simple application of nano-reconstruction technology, and it is a leftover material from the technology of making Xiaohui. Liu Miyan is already used to it.

He immediately turned on the magnetic adsorption function of his clothes through his brain chip, allowing himself to stick to the rising gray steel sofa.

Sitting on the sofa in a weightless environment was completely unnecessary. Liu Miyan didn't like it, but since both Yue Yuan and Yu Nanfeng were sitting, he couldn't stand and talk.

"Chief, if we want to observe the unification of the strong nuclear force and the weak electric force, theoretically we must have at least an energy level of 10 to the 15th power GeV. Otherwise, we will not be able to explore what the electric and nuclear force is, and there will be no way to unify it. We talked about it, so we need a more powerful particle collider." Liu Miyan said straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

GeV means one billion electron volts.

The current human collider is still far away from this energy level. When building this multi-point particle machine in space, relevant experts thought that they wanted to make the collider reach the standard of studying the grand unified theory. The machine must be built to be at least one trillion kilometers long.

What is the concept of one trillion kilometers? When converted into astronomical units, it is 6684.6 astronomical units, which is 6684.6 times the calm distance from the sun to the earth.

This is a plan designed according to the plan of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

If mankind's current physical theory is correct, this is the case.

As early as the Earth era, humans have successfully verified the electroweak theory under the energy of 100GeV, and successfully unified the electromagnetic force and the weak electric force.

In this theoretical model, the next step is to explore the unification of the strong nuclear force and the electroweak force under the energy of 10 to the 15th power GeV, that is, to incorporate the strong force into this model for unification. This is the grand unified theoretical model.

Of course, these values ​​​​are the results of human calculations based on the Standard Model of particle physics theory. The specific subsequent development of the grand unified theory, what the mathematical formulas are, what the physical processes are, etc., must be found from experimental observation data.

Without scientific summary of experimental data, no one can come up with a formula.

So although Liu Miyan said this now, in fact, it is just one sentence. If you want to truly have data to study the grand unified model and master the true grand unified theory, you must first have the corresponding observation methods.

"I'm sorry to tell you, Old Liu, we can't build a collider with that energy level." Yu Nanfeng shook his head. After hearing Liu Miyan's words, he said these words without any hesitation.

When Liu Miyan heard this, he frowned and looked at Yue Yuan.

"I called Academician Yu Nanfeng here just for this matter. Before you came, we had some discussions on this aspect. He was right. With our current technical level, we cannot create such a pair. Crash."

Yue Yuan took a deep breath. He didn't know the difficulties that theoretical physicists and experimental physicists were facing now, but what could he do?

Yu Nanfeng is not an ordinary academician. He is an academician who specializes in engineering. He has the most say in how strong human manufacturing technology is and what level of creation it can create. If he says it cannot be created, then there is a high probability that it will not be possible. It really can’t be made.

"I said, Lao Liu, our standard model and grand unified theory can't be wrong. It stands to reason that our human civilization has reached the peak of level three civilization at this moment. After all, true nanotechnology can no longer penetrate into the micro level. , and with such technology, we are still unable to build a collider with the corresponding energy level in theory. Isn't this coming back again?" Yu Nanfeng looked at Liu Miyan, who looked unhappy, and said what he was holding back. For a long time.

"It must be true, otherwise we will not be able to unify the electromagnetic force and the weak interaction force." Liu Miyan said firmly, then he thought about it and added: "At least it is correct in terms of reasoning logic."

'Silver Mist' told humans at the beginning that the grand unified theory is the electromagnetic force, the weak interaction force, the strong interaction force, and gravity. The complete unification of the four forces is the grand unification. But later human scientists discovered this statement Either 'Silver Mist' deliberately misled humans, just like when it told humans that the propulsion technology of level three civilizations was achieved through heavy nuclear fusion and charged antiparticles. Either ‘Silver Mist’ doesn’t understand.

In fact, the unification of the four forces is already a super unified theory, or a theory of everything.
