Road to science and technology

Yue Yuanzhou shook his head and put aside his strange thoughts. Then he clicked on the illusory projection a few times, wanting to see what the technological level of this civilization was.

The information of this low-level civilization has become completely transparent, and Yue Yuanzhou does not even need to send a son to observe. Just use four-dimensional scanning to scan it targetedly, and then wait for the microscopic supercomputer to simulate it.

No matter how well the Gorgon civilization hides its technical documents, it becomes a public database in the face of this god-like technology.

Of course, although four-dimensional scanning is accurate to quarks, simulation is still simulation, so there are also disadvantages.

Although four-dimensional scanning can accurately record the state of each quark of the target, the uncertainty principle is still valid here, and the position and momentum of the particle cannot be determined at the same time.

Therefore, what is projected after the four-dimensional scan is called simulation or virtual. It is calculated by adding algorithms and is not a complete copy and paste.

It doesn't hurt to just use it to scan lower civilizations.

"Eh! This is tachyon technology?!" Yue Yuanzhou, who was browsing the technological information of the Gorgon civilization, was suddenly startled. His eyes opened wide when he saw a familiar technology.

The reason why he was familiar with it was because in the Star Trek universe, when he returned to the Shenzhou planet, the Shenzhou civilization had fully elaborated on the theory of this technology, but it could not find such negative mass particles that could travel faster than the speed of light. .

At that time, someone proposed to use chaotic information to unify, give the universe some kind of information, and then get out such negative mass particles. Theoretically, it is possible, but since the unified information technology has not yet reached that level, we have given up on it.

However, the Academy of Sciences has also gone to the Zero Zero Universe and even the Supergod Universe for experiments, but to no avail.

Since it had been using quantum long-distance communication before, after it failed here, under the guidance of Yue Yuanzhou, the infrastructure focused its energy on dimensional communication, so it did not notice the real existence of this cosmic tachyon.

The quantum entanglement of this universe cannot transmit effective information, but tachyons appear instead. At this moment, Yue Yuanzhou couldn't help but think of a sentence, God will open a window for you when he closes the door for you. But where does God come from? Even DC God himself has to go back to settle accounts.

That is the evolution of the laws of the universe itself.

"So, the universe has no path to civilization?" Yue Yuanzhou said in his heart. The universe has no consciousness. Even if it has consciousness, it shouldn't think about civilization.

The so-called tachyon has been proposed by scientists in the earth's era. However, quantum entanglement in the real world cannot transmit effective information, that is, it cannot be used for faster-than-light communication.

In theory, baryons correspond to leptons, so tachyons naturally correspond to bradyons.

Baryons, together with mesons composed of a quark and an antiquark, are collectively called hadrons. In the microscopic world, protons, neutrons, and other particles that are bound by the strong interaction force are called hadrons. Fermions such as electrons and neutrinos that do not participate in strong interactions are leptons.

But whether they are protons or neutrons, baryons, leptons or hyperons, they are all bradyons. It can be said that among the sixty-one particles of the standard particle model, except for photons, all others are bradyons, and their masses are all positive.

Giving them energy can accelerate these particles. The more energy you give them, the faster they accelerate, but the upper limit is the speed of light.

That is to say, a particle with positive mass can approach infinitely but never reach the speed of light. So stop saying that Pegasus Meteor Fist is a light-speed punch that can fire 100 million punches per second.

Photons have zero mass and travel at the speed of light.

The biggest difference between tachyons and positive-mass particles is that their mass is negative, so their speed is always fixed above the speed of light.

Just the opposite of bradyon, the more energy you give it, the slower it becomes. But like bradyons, it also has a lower speed limit, which is the speed of light.

Of course, the energy mentioned above is all positive energy.

Is there any negative energy in that?

Of course!

But its definition does not mean people's negative emotions, but refers to energy lower than the zero point energy of vacuum.

Negative energy means negative mass, and tachyons have negative mass.

Obviously, if positive energy is applied to a bradyon, the bradyon becomes faster; if negative energy is applied, the bradyon becomes slower. And if you apply positive energy to tachyons, the tachyons will be slower. If you apply negative energy to tachyons, of course, the tachyons will be faster.

This is the super-light detection method of this universe.

Yue Yuanzhou saw that the Gorgon civilization discovered tachyons, but not negative energy. Therefore, although the Gorgon civilization has tachyon detection technology, it cannot accelerate tachyons.

Just getting started.

For example, if running is regarded as electromagnetic wave communication, then the Gorgon civilization has now found a means of transportation, but it will not turn the accelerator or put it into gear. It will only use the means of transportation itself to be faster than running. use.

It is conceivable that in the future, this universe will definitely regard mastering negative energy as a sign of advanced civilization level.

Because more advanced detection technology means that you have discovered the enemy, but the enemy has not discovered you. Civilizations with tachyon detection technology can easily detect light-speed strikes that would otherwise be undetectable.

Yue Yuanzhou took a breath and sighed in an absolute tone: "This is definitely the watershed between high-level civilization and low-level civilization in this universe!"

And now, this Gorgon civilization has begun. What does this mean? It shows that Gorgon civilization has great potential.

When he saw Dyson Cloud before, Yue Yuanzhou just sighed and said it was a rare wonder of the universe. But not anymore. This civilization not only creates wonders, but is also very smart.

From the perspective of the Great Filter theory, the Gorgon civilization once again broke through the filter!

Yue Yuanzhou naturally had to show his attitude toward such a civilization. It is impossible to leave it alone. If you leave it alone, what should you do if there is a sudden technological explosion in the future?

But it would be a pity to destroy it directly. After all, it is the first civilization we encounter when we come to this universe.

"Then take control and let Tomoko monitor them all the time." Yue Yuanzhou was silent for a moment before deciding their future on behalf of the Gorgon civilization.

Of course, if the technology of the Gorgon civilization continues to develop and they discover sophons, Yue Yuanzhou will also give them two choices.

One is destruction, the other is vassalage.

"That's fine. I'm so kind."

Yue Yuanzhou nodded secretly. He felt that compared to the hunter civilizations in the Trisolaran universe, he was simply a great person.

Yue Yuanzhou, who was very satisfied with himself, continued to browse the technical information of the Gorgon civilization, and at the same time gave an order to the scientific research team on the infrastructure to experiment with the Shenzhou civilization's tachyon technology here.

After confirming that there was no problem, he installed all the detectors in this universe.
