Road to science and technology

Yue Yuanzhou continued: "The electrons released in this case are also called beta particles. Since beta particles are negatively charged electrons, this kind of decay is also called negative beta decay. Therefore, we often say that beta decay is the main manifestation of the weak force. Way.

In nature, beta decay is dominated by negative beta decay, but now this unknown civilization has interfered with this process in some way. "

He Xi also walked to the illusory projection and looked at the tragic scene inside the projection: "So, their bodies and even the spacecraft, inside and out, have undergone such changes?"

Yue Yuanzhou reached out and clicked on the illusory projection, letting the projection screen zoom in and out on a Sun man's arm until it entered the microscopic level.

Only then did he continue: "Yes, you see, for example, the most common carbon element that makes up carbon-based life is composed of 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and after suffering such a blow, the 6 neutrons inside One or two of them may have turned into protons through quark flavor changes, and of course it is also possible that protons have turned into neutrons through quark flavor changes.

So the original carbon 12 may become an isotope of oxygen, oxygen 12. This is one of the seventeen known isotopes of oxygen. Oxygen 12 is extremely unstable and radioactive, with a half-life of less than three minutes.

Of course, it is also possible to become isotopes of various other elements, which is the reason for the strange appearance of the Lieyang civilization. "

"This process may be random, or it may be precisely controlled by that civilization. We have no way of knowing the complex changes. What exactly happened between the unstable states of the elements under such a blow can make them finally We don’t know if it will become like this.”

Yue Yuanzhou pointed at the various chaotic images in the illusory projection and said with emotion: "This is a civilization that has studied the weak interaction force to the extreme. This civilization's understanding and application of the weak interaction force has even surpassed our Shenzhou civilization. "

Although the Shenzhou civilization already has a grand unified theory, the research on its weak interaction is indeed inferior to that of this unknown civilization.

Civilization-specific technologies, many different races have their own special technologies, just like the purple fish civilization Yue Yuanzhou encountered at that time. Although the purple fish had difficulty even getting out of the water at that time, and even thought that the ice was the entire outer world, their perception of the quantum realm was innate.

Of course, this unknown civilization may not necessarily be born with the ability to perceive weak interaction forces, but they must have reached a height in this regard that other civilizations can only dream of.

Yue Yuanzhou also discovered that this civilization had warships that looked like water droplets, but they did not bombard stars. It is possible that they did not even have light particle weapons. Therefore, their electromagnetic technology may be a weakness, because abruptly accelerating a mass object to the speed of light is one of the signs that electromagnetic research has reached an extremely advanced level.

"Beyond you?" He Xi said in disbelief at this time.

Through this period of understanding, she has understood the power of the Shenzhou civilization, especially from the way the neutron battle star fights, she feels the domineering and crushing momentum.

"Well, at least that's true in terms of the recognition and application of the weak interaction force."

Yue Yuanzhou said naturally: "In fact, it stands to reason that Lieyang is not weak in stellar research. They even have gravitational shielding technology, and there is also a process called hydrogen fusion in stars, which is also caused by the radioactive decay of subatomic particles. started.

What has Lieyang, who possesses star-driven technology, been researching over the years? They must have spent all their resources on strengthening Reina. "

In fact, Yue Yuanzhou also knew that stellar drive technology was not realized through basic forces. He obtained this technology from Pan Zhen at the time.

This technology can be summed up in one sentence, which is quantum mechanics.

Because in the setting, star driving technology is quantum technology, which uses quantum entanglement technology to resonate with stars and thereby drive stars. Direna can import stellar energy from nearby stars in real time, and can instantly analyze any star to obtain stellar projections, which can serve as energy sources.

He Xi seemed to be thinking about it when she heard this, and did not hear Yue Yuanzhou complaining about Lie Yang. After a while, she said: "But how did they launch such an attack?"

Directly acting on quarks, causing them to undergo quark flavor changes, He Xi could not think of any defense method at the quark level. So she asked because she wanted to know how to launch this attack, and then consider defense methods from the source.

After all, Lieyang has encountered it now, and Angel will also encounter it in the future. Without any means of defense, you don’t know how you will die when the time comes.

"You are asking the wrong person," Yue Yuanzhou said with a smile, "I have said before that this civilization is better than us in the understanding and application of weak phase forces, so I can only tell you some guesses."

"We believe that this unknown civilization should have been realized through some kind of electromagnetic technology, because we detected that the emission source is not gravitational waves. There are only two kinds of waves in the universe, namely gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves, so if it is not gravitational waves, it is electromagnetic waves. This is probably the reason why Reina is okay, maybe her light shield blocked these emission sources or induction sources."

"Of course, this is not an ordinary application of electromagnetic force, it is a light quantum effect. This unknown civilization did not develop a light particle weapon in the field of electromagnetic force, but instead developed the 'unification of weak electricity' to this point, which is also miraculous."

The induction source is still working, so many sophons and neutrons of the Shenzhou civilization will still lose contact due to quark flavor changes when approaching. However, after losing some microscopic detectors, Yue Yuanzhou also obtained some useful information.

He Xi nodded and said: "In other words, if you want to defend against this method, you need to start from the light quantum field. What are the light particle weapons?"

"Absolutely. You have to study this yourself." Yue Yuanzhou glanced at He Xi.

"Light particle weapons are one of the ultimate applications of electromagnetic technology. Accelerating a very small object to the speed of light is one of the conventional weapons of hunters. You must also know about the stars that have been destroyed everywhere. This is it. This weapon is very cost-effective. Knowing this, you should be able to survive in a universe full of hunters."

Hexi seemed relieved when he heard this, as if he had woken up from the depression of hearing all kinds of strange attacks. Angels can travel at warp speeds faster than the speed of light, and light particles are only the speed of light. This shows that angels' technology is not yet It was very low, at least more than those hunter civilizations that only had light particle weapons.

She smiled and said: "It's just accelerating to the speed of light. It seems that this kind of weapon is not difficult."

As soon as Yue Yuanzhou heard what He Xi said, he knew that she had misunderstood, but he couldn't bear to continue to hit her, so he just shook his head and said nothing.

On the contrary, Karl, who was doing nothing on the side, had a calm expression and said in a gentle tone: "King Tianji must have thought it was warp relative speed. In fact, it is not. It is a matter of forcibly accelerating a mass object to the speed of light."

He Xi frowned when he heard this, and his mood worsened again.

Only at this moment did she realize that the ultimate application of electromagnetic force did not seem to be so easy to achieve. Then the ultimate application symbol of gravity should be a black hole, but it seems impossible. The weak interaction force should be the attack of this unknown civilization, and angels don't seem to be able to do it. Neither does the droplet angel, a symbol of strong interaction.
