I kidnapped an alien civilization

12 carbon atom hollow ball?

Li Mo stared at the data model on the paper. Can this structure, which obviously violates the laws of physics, really exist at normal temperature and pressure?

Like the periodic table, it arranges the elements according to the amount of positive charge in the nucleus. According to speculation, as long as there are infinitely many positive charges in the nucleus, infinite new elements can be arranged, but so far, scientists have only discovered 118 elements that can exist, because with the increase of positive charges in the nucleus, the elements themselves will Become unstable, and even some elements only exist in the collider for milliseconds.

The arrangement structure of matter is also similar. Although the bond number of carbon element has an advantage over other atoms, at least 24 single bonds are needed to form a hollow sphere of 12 carbon atoms.

Chemists have reached a consensus that the number of single bonds of an element is at most 6. Once this number is exceeded, the electrons in the nucleus will collapse under the action of repulsion, resulting in the instability of the substance.

But now the facts are in front of us, the main substance in this alien waste battery is this hollow sphere of 12 carbon atoms.

Existence is reasonable, this is a famous philosophical saying. It means that no matter how ridiculous a thing or thing sounds, as long as it is real, it has a reason for existence.

What Li Mo has to do is to find out the reason for its existence.

Now he feels like a blind man touching an elephant, he can only peek at a corner of things but can't see the whole thing.

"Lithium ions?" Li Mo remembered that there were still a small amount of lithium ions in the dark green substance during the test. Originally, he thought that the lithium ions here existed as a storage current, but now it seems that he was wrong.

So he had a new idea and decided to re-add the data of lithium ions to the data model.

Li Mo took out a can of "energy coffee" from his backpack and drank it down. After drinking it many times, he still can't like the taste.

"Retreat!"

"Reject all visits!"

Wechat notified Xia Qing.

time goes by bit by bit

sunrise and sunset

When the time came to the fifth day, Li Mo looked at the piles of toilet paper on the table, with a smile on his face. He finally finished the new data model.

In the model, 12 carbon atom hollow spheres and lithium ions are perfectly fused together to form a new structure. This is fusion on an atomic scale.

It can be seen from the data that the lithium ion binds the carbon atom with its own single bond, and at the same time its electrons balance the repulsion of the carbon atom's electrons, and there is a kind of bond between the nucleus of the carbon atom and the adjacent lithium ion nucleus. Magical electric field. This microscopic electric field is unbreakable, so the new matter they form is so stable.

This is completely true mathematically, without the slightest logical error.

"Perfect!"

Li Mo patted the table and stood up.

The world is so amazing that two special atomic structures can be fused at the atomic level under natural conditions. There has long been a situation in nature where one kind of atom undergoes decay and transforms into another kind of atom. Even humans can change the properties of atomic nuclei by means of decay, fission, fusion and artificial bombardment.

But the altered atoms completely transform into new atoms.

Lithium carbon 12 hollow spheres are different. It is a fusion of two different atoms. In essence, its interior still contains two elements of carbon and lithium, and the properties of carbon atoms and lithium atoms have not been changed.

By analogy, are there other atomic structures that can fuse with each other at the atomic scale in nature? What magical effect will they have?

The more Li Mo thought about it, the more excited he became. He may have opened a new door for the world unintentionally. The difference between humans and animals described in textbooks is that "humans can use tools." This sentence outlines the essence of the development of human civilization on a macro level, and all tools are composed of matter, and matter is composed of various atoms . The properties of the atoms determine the purpose of the tool.

But it is extremely difficult to change the properties of atoms. In the history of ancient science, there are many records of alchemy and alchemy. They are all attempts by the ancients to change the properties of matter. But because the atomic structure is very stable and difficult to be destroyed under normal temperature and pressure, their attempts failed without exception.

The atomic fusion theory magically changes the properties of matter without changing the properties of atoms, which greatly reduces the difficulty.

But reducing the difficulty does not mean that there is no difficulty. Li Mo is now facing a new problem, how to make this lithium carbon 12 hollow sphere.

All theories on paper are empty talk if they cannot be proven in practice, just like the Big Bang and string theory that are popular all over the world. Although they have been developed for decades, their theoretical foundations are already very solid. However, it is frequently questioned by the world because no actual evidence can be found to support it.

It is always a long process for any theory to go from paper to reality, but now half of the 365-day time limit for the mission has passed. Li Mo has not enough time.

That's when he thought of the LHC Hadron Collider, which is used to search for microscopic particles.

If science is elegant, it can skillfully use various laws of the universe to serve human beings, and in science, it pays attention to using the weak to resist the strong and using ingenuity to control the force, then the hadron collider is the least "scientific" The principle of the machine is actually very simple. It is to make them have super high energy by continuously accelerating particles, and then let this high-energy particle bombard the target particle. Scientists can discover unknown particles based on the products after the bombardment.

Simply put, it is like a soldier holding a gun and firing a shot at a target. When the bullet hits the target, it will destroy the original structure of the target. We can use this moment to observe the internal structure of the target.

This "violent" machine is actually a helpless way for humans to explore microscopic particles, because the scale of microscopic particles is too small for humans to directly observe with the current scientific instruments.

When high-energy particles collide, they will change the original properties of the particles. This characteristic makes Li Mo think that it may be possible to use a collider to synthesize lithium-carbon-12 hollow spheres. After lithium ions mix and collide with carbon atoms, maybe this magical substance will be produced?

Of course, he didn't have a complete grasp of this idea, but isn't science progressing through continuous experimentation?

Now a collider is needed, Li Mo scratched his head, the collider is not as simple as other scientific equipment, it is the largest machine ever built by human beings.

Take the world's largest European Large Hadron Collider as an example. It is jointly funded and built by universities and laboratories belonging to more than 2,000 physicists from 34 countries. It has a 27-kilometer circular acceleration tunnel , which lasted 14 years.

The cost of each experiment is calculated in units of billions. I heard that the experiment plan has been scheduled for decades.

The European Large Hadron Collider certainly wouldn't go out of its way to conduct an experiment on the basis of an untested theory.

Of course, the collider he needs does not require such a high acceleration, because the lithium-carbon 12 hollow spheres have not fundamentally changed the properties of the atoms, but are only tightly combined.

Through calculations, he obtained a data, that is, lithium ions and carbon atoms only need 0.2GeV of energy to complete this combination.
