Galaxy Technology Empire

Under the latest neutrino imaging microscope, even quark-level particles can be clearly seen, not to mention atomic nuclei.

Huang Junjie readjusted the observation accuracy of the microscope to the level of atomic nuclei, and finally saw clearly the state of the black matter.

For pure neutron materials, since there are no outer electrons, the gap between the neutron nuclei is very small. The piece of neutron material in front of him the size of a fingernail has an astonishing mass of 1867 kilograms. It is so dense. The level is simply mind-numbing.

"This is due to the neutron nucleus composed of 232 neutrons, called NN-232, which is the second neutron material that our laboratory has discovered that can exist stably." Li Xiang clicked on a holographic simulation of an atomic nucleus (middle) daughter core) model says.

"How long is the decay period?" Huang Junjie asked while observing.

"23.7 years."

“What are its specific properties?”

"A solid has no melting point and has no conductivity. However, when NN232 comes into contact with other substances, it will stimulate a strong magnetic state. The magnetic field generated after contact with iron elements is the largest, which is about 1,400 times that of a rubidium magnet."

"No melting point?" Huang Junjie asked a question.

"Actually, it is more appropriate to say that it cannot melt. We have currently raised the temperature to 450 billion degrees Celsius, but this temperature cannot produce a fusion effect on the material composed of NN232, and it is still solid." Li Xiang explained.

"Has neutron ionization been attempted on NN-8-1?"

Li Xiang replied directly: "I tried it, but it has no effect. Neutron ionization has no effect on NN232 at all, because NN232 itself has no electron layer, and neutron ionization cannot turn it into a plasma."

Huang Junjie took NN232 to a non-magnetic laboratory made of anti-magnetic materials. If it weren't for the genetic armor, he really wouldn't be able to pick up the NN232, which was the size of a fingernail.

Gently put NN232 into the special spherical container. After pressing the switch, some iron pieces are inserted around the spherical container.

Instantly a strong magnet appeared in the laboratory. Why Huang Junjie could feel it was not only because his body's five senses were very sharp after genetic enhancement, but more importantly, his whole body was now attracted to the spherical container.

What's even more frightening is that even in a non-magnetic laboratory, the walls, ceiling, floor, workbench, etc. are trembling slightly, as if tempted by the whispers of the devil, they are involuntarily trying to get closer to the spherical container.

Huang Junjie immediately activated the genetic armor and changed the magnetism of his body, which made him feel a little more relaxed. If an ordinary person was sucked in, his body would explode and die in an instant. He quickly took heavy steps, as if he was under the sea 10,000 meters below the sea. The activity was the same. It took four minutes to cover the distance of 20 meters.

"Very powerful!" Li Xiang asked, standing at the door.

Huang Junjie glanced at the spherical container in the laboratory: "How did you feel when you did the first experiment?"

"Just four broken ribs and a ruptured liver." Li Xiang answered lightly.

"Be careful, don't die before you leave. After all, the brain is injured, but it is very troublesome and may even cause brain death." Huang Haojie reminded.

"I know, but sometimes the situation in the laboratory is unexpected." Li Xiang didn't pay much attention.

Huang Junjie knew that this guy was heartless and used to it. He turned around and continued to think about the application of NN232. If this thing is applied to mass projectors and electromagnetic guns, the effect should be good.

As for other applications, it may be used on the armor of space battleships, but the strong magnetism is a trouble. If it is hit by iron projectiles or spacecraft, the NN232 material will become a trouble.

"Li Xiang, do you have any solutions for the strong magnetic properties of NN232 when encountering iron? For example, how to deal with it when magnetism is not needed? How to deal with it when magnetism is needed?" Huang Haojie turned his head and asked.

"Our solution is...nothing."

"..." Huang Junjie looked at this guy speechlessly.

"If you want to use strong magnetic properties, just build an iron container. As for the ones that don't need strong magnetic properties, do you want to apply it to the armor of battleships?" Li Xiang said, "I've seen through you."

Huang Haojie nodded: "I do have plans to apply NN232 to battleship armor. As long as a layer of NN232 material with the thickness of neutron cores is used to manufacture the battleship armor, it is equivalent to an upgraded condensed matter shield."

"I have no solution for the time being. You can figure it out on your own!" Li Xiang replied, spreading his hands.

"Okay! I'll let others find a way to solve this problem. Please tell me about the other characteristics! This thing won't just have the strong magnetic property of contact iron, right?" Huang Haojie continued.

Li Xiang clicked on the holographic projection and introduced it to Huang Haojie: "It also has several very important characteristics. One is barrier properties. None of the currently known electromagnetic waves can penetrate the material composed of NN232, whether it is long-wave or short-wave microwave, or High-energy beta rays, gamma rays, and neutrinos that are difficult to block cannot penetrate the NN232 material."

"This feature is good, and the Photon Engine Research Institute may be able to use it." Huang Haojie's eyes lit up.

"Another property: neutrino radiation."

"Neutrino radiation? Is it caused by the decay of NN232?" Huang Haojie understood what this characteristic was as soon as he heard it.

Li Xiang nodded: "Neutrino radiation is caused by the decay of NN232. The last characteristic is: neutron nuclear disintegration."

"Neutron nuclear disintegration? Please explain this characteristic in more detail." Huang Junjie asked with interest.

Li Xiang explained: "Neutron nuclear disintegration, as the name suggests, means that the NN232 material will release all neutrons after the half-life is over, which is referred to as neutron nuclear disintegration. In fact, it can be stimulated through special methods to cause the NN232 material to neutron in advance. The daughter core disintegrates.”

"Are the conditions for disintegration complicated?"

"Of course it's complicated, and it can only be done in the laboratory for the time being."

"Okay! Everything is difficult at the beginning, let's keep up the good work." Huang Haojie also knows that scientific research is not always smooth sailing. After all citizens of the alliance have been genetically enhanced, many scientific and technological fields are now experiencing explosive development.

For example, Li Xiang previously led low-cost room-temperature superconductors and completed the large-scale mass production process in Galaxy in November 2020. Now the production cost of room-temperature superconductors has been reduced to about 56 yuan per kilogram.

It was precisely because of the completion of the room temperature superconductor project that Li Xiang came to work at the Institute of Condensed Matter Materials.

Li Xiang suddenly said: "Actually, our institute has also developed a semi-stable neutron material - NN48. However, the stability of this material is too poor. The half-life at normal temperature and pressure is only about 17 hours. .”

Huang Haojie pulled up the experimental log of the Institute of Condensed Matter Materials and quickly looked up the relevant information on NN48. Suddenly, the more he looked at it, the more useful it became.

The characteristics of NN48 and NN232 are very similar, that is, the strong magnetic properties when encountering iron are only about 169 times that of rubidium magnets; the existence time is also very short, only 17.4 hours; but it has a very big advantage - it is easy to prepare. With the current level of science and technology of the Human Revolution Union, mass production is possible.

Huang Junjie quickly saved this information and forwarded another copy to the Mass Projector Research Institute.

If NN48 can be made into projectiles and used on electromagnetic guns, it will not only increase the speed of the projectiles, but also increase the strength of the projectiles. After all, the NN48 material will not disintegrate so easily before its half-life is over.

The most important thing is the neutron nuclear disintegration characteristics of the NN48 material. Once it hits the opponent's warship and neutron nuclear disintegration suddenly occurs inside, it is equivalent to a neutron mushroom egg exploding internally.
