Son of the Stars

Chapter 168 The whole point of radiation
At Central University, Lu Chen was in the Institute of Physics, busy doing experiments with Mu Zhiran.

It's not that they don't know about the turmoil outside, but there are some things... even if they know it, it's of little use.

As clinicians and ordinary scientific researchers, he and Mu Zhiran could only try to solve the problem through experiments - or relieve their own inner anxiety.

When people are busy, they forget the things that worry them, so those particularly terrible workaholics are somewhat unwilling to face life problems themselves. It's not necessarily because they have any serious psychological problems, it's just that there are some things in this world that are more terrifying than dying from exhaustion.

The human cloning assembly line has not yet been put into use, and the task of recombining the human genetic material at hand has not yet begun. The original experimental content cannot be carried out for the time being - but the problem of no experimental samples has never been a problem for researchers at the Institute of Immunology who cannot apply for samples. At least Lu Chen has long been accustomed to the dilemma of "wanting to experiment but just don't have a sample".

In this regard, the solution he proposed was to "first use samples from other projects to top it off." To explain it in more straightforward terms, "Dr. Mu, can you give me the big crash sample you have on hand for me to use first?"

Mu Zhiran had previously applied for a large number of collapsed brain tissue samples in order to determine the rotation direction of electrons outside the lithium atom nucleus. The quantity was so large that Lu Chen was so jealous that he almost broke his teeth.

The process of experimenting with human clones is to put these "people" into a place where there is no electron flow radiating from the Crab Nebula, and then observe whether they will explode. Now that the experimental samples are reduced from human clones to human samples that have been frozen for decades, it is necessary to make some subtle adjustments to the experimental process.

The purpose of the human cloning experiment is to prove that quantum energy release syndrome is indeed related to the "background radiation" naturally present in the entire natural environment. Blocking background radiation will cause the onset of quantum release syndrome, turning people into light and bombs.

But this experiment is obviously impossible to replicate directly on human samples. The brain tissue samples of these collapse victims have been frozen for decades in cryogenic cold storage, and the cryogenic cold storage itself is an excellent radiation blocking device-the outer layer of the cold storage is shielded by a metal layer.

"How much do you think this threshold is worth?" Lu Chen took out another brain tissue sample that had been thawed, and then threw it into the grinder. Doing experiments with your girlfriend, there are really too many things to say - it's not boring at all. "As a reference, the weight of an adult male's brain is about 1300 grams to 1500 grams."

"Currently, we have not observed the onset of quantum energy release syndrome in minors." Mu Zhiran frowned and thought for a moment, "Considering the huge number of minors in the total population, the number of cases and the proportion of the population are obvious. No match...Is this because of the brain weight difference?"

"If we compare children and adults, the difference is not just the weight of the brain." Lu Chen shook his head, "The only thing we can use for experiments now is brain tissue, so the reference data I give you is also brain tissue." The weight of the tissue…”

"Didi, beep, beep." The grinder sounded a beep, reminding the operator that it had evenly ground the sample into a uniform meat...brain paste that could be used for research and analysis. Lu Chen adjusted the KS99 mask on his face with the back of his hand, opened the upper cover of the abrasive, used a dropper to draw out a tube of brain paste, and then transferred it to the test tube on the electronic scale that had returned its weight to zero, "These If the brain tissue could be exploded, it would have been exploded long ago, so it’s still a matter of weight?”

Just like the chain reaction of a nuclear weapon explosion has a "critical mass" of nuclear material, quantum energy release syndrome should also have a critical mass. Only when the critical mass is reached, the body's electronic energy level drop will form a continuous reaction - the photon released by the fall of an electron hits the extranuclear electrons of other hydrogen atoms, absorbs the electron energy and induces an energy level drop, and then repeats this, inducing widespread Release energy.

"The weight of the adult brain must have exceeded the critical mass." Mu Zhiran bent down and gently lifted a heavy metal box with the support of the laboratory's exoskeleton. She placed the metal box gently on it again and again. On the table, he replied again and again, "But I think we can't just consider the mass of the brain. After all, there are water molecules everywhere in the human body, and hydrogen atoms are all over the body. If only the brain can explode, it will definitely not be able to explode more than four hundred tons of TNT." Explosive yield.”

"That's a problem." Lu Chen quickly completed the packaging of the four test tubes - starting from 150 grams, one test tube for every 450 grams. The last test tube weighs grams, which is almost the total weight of the two samples. "Even if a nuclear weapon explodes, it is impossible to consume all the nuclear materials at once. The actual explosion yield should be far less than the theoretical energy release limit of nuclear materials."

"Yes, when theory is translated into practice, there will always be similar deviations." Mu Zhiran carefully applied the cushioning cotton stickers on his hands all over the inside of the metal box, and then assembled the brackets in the box, " Quantum energy release syndrome is systemic, and the energy released is all the electrons outside the hydrogen atom nucleus throughout the body... So what causes their energy levels to drop at the same time? "

"If we can figure out this problem, we can start researching treatment options now." Lu Chen showed a clinician's unique wry smile - whenever I meet people in clinical work who understand some basic principles and mechanisms, but really understand When dealing with limited but very confident patients and family members, clinicians will put such a wry smile on their faces.

"Okay, I've installed the transfer box here." Mu Zhiran raised his head and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "I can understand using buffering materials, but why use a metal box for the outside? Is the material too bulky?”

"I don't know either." Lu Chen shrugged towards Mu Zhiran, "Samples exceeding 200 grams must be transported in metal shielding boxes. This is a requirement of the academic committee. Who knows what they are worried about - you haven't done that before. Have you ever used a box like this?”

"The samples I used before were only a few grams, and I asked my junior brother to take the samples from the cold storage...I'm really worried now." Mu Zhiran frowned and looked at the metal box in front of him, and asked with some worry , "What if the induced quantum energy release explodes once the lid is closed?"

Lu Chen glanced at the metal box and said, "Isn't it? The four test tubes combined weigh only 1200 grams, which is less than the average adult brain weight."

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of the worst. I always feel that it's not safe to transport metal so carelessly." Mu Zhiran stood up, "Wait a moment, and I'll see if I can find something to reduce the electromagnetic radiation inside." "
