Chapter 304 Minefield

Energy levels are not the same as energy.

The total energy of the sun is extremely high, and only about one billionth of the energy it radiates reaches the earth. However, this small amount of energy supports the entire earth's biosphere, creates wind, rain, thunder and lightning on the earth, and creates Typhoons create rain and snow, create atmospheric flows, allow the ocean to remain liquid, and so on.

The high energy of the sun is evident. But in comparison, the unit energy level of the sun is extremely low. Under the same volume, the radiant energy of the sun is not even comparable to that of a potato.

Particle collider can create extremely high energy levels, even energy levels comparable to tens of thousands of seconds after the Big Bang, and can even unify the electromagnetic force and the weak force.

But its total energy is extremely low.

The total energy of two particle beams colliding is not even comparable to the energy of a human body lifting a bucket of water.

This is the difference between energy levels and energy.

What Han Yang needs now is an extremely high energy level. As for the total energy, he didn't pay much attention.

The theoretical research presented to Han Yang at this moment indicates such a possibility.

Through a certain mechanism, with the characteristics of the violent discharge process of lightning, it can be made more condensed and its energy level can be greatly improved, which is expected to reach the point where Han Yang can truly unify the three basic forces.

This research paper quickly attracted attention, and Han Yang immediately began to verify it.

The first is to do it in the laboratory. Scientists created an artificial lightning device, and then created a device that can extremely condense lightning energy, finally proving its feasibility from a theoretical level.

In this set of experimental devices, more than 99% of the total energy of artificial lightning was wasted, but the energy level of the remaining energy was increased by as much as ten times.

Having proven its feasibility, all that remains to be done is to improve. The improvement will come from two aspects.

One is to increase the total energy of lightning, and the other is to increase the efficiency of the energy level device.

The scientific research and development capabilities and manufacturing capabilities of the second-level peak civilization were perfectly reflected at this moment. Engineers and scientists joined forces, and under the unified leadership of Han Yang, they quickly created a new generation of energy level enhancement devices.

At this time, the total energy of artificial lightning can no longer meet the requirements. So the test site was changed to a natural environment.

Lightning above the earth obviously cannot meet the requirements. Its total energy is too low.

So the place where the experiment was conducted was changed to Jupiter.

As the most massive planet in the entire solar system, Jupiter has the most powerful lightning in the entire solar system.

A huge experimental base was quickly built in the gas of Jupiter. Afterwards, through the lightning-inducing device, one after another super-strong lightning struck the experimental base, and through a set of complex devices, it was converted into extremely condensed electric charges. , was guided into the reaction chamber and acted on the ultra-pure zinc sheets.

Under the impact of this energy, which was tens of thousands of times thinner than a hair but released a dazzling light, the ultra-pure zinc sheet with an area of ​​only about one square millimeter instantly vaporized and turned into a ball of plasma.

And during this process, countless observation devices equipped on the walls of the reflection chamber captured every subtle change in the process, turning it into huge data and presented it in front of the scientists and Han Yang.

Through these data, Han Yang will be able to restore and understand the changes in any microsecond or even any nanosecond in this process.

The results of the study report two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that this model really has the potential to reach the energy levels needed for experimentation. The bad news is that even though Jupiter's lightning is the strongest in the entire solar system, it is still too weak to provide the energy needed for the experiment.

If one wants to rely on this model to conduct research on a grand unified theory, people must look for more powerful lightning.

If it doesn’t exist in the solar system, then we can only look for it outside the solar system.

Fortunately, there are indeed some stars in the universe with lightning more powerful than Jupiter.

Sub-brown dwarf.

As a semi-finished star, it has a mass far exceeding that of an ordinary planet, but it cannot ignite nuclear fusion and become a real star.

This kind of semi-finished star, or super planet, has an extremely low surface temperature, which is comparable to that of an ordinary planet, and is not as inaccessible as a real star.

Even with the current technological strength of human civilization, it is impossible to land on the surface of even the smallest star.

But sub-brown dwarfs are certainly not a problem.

It just so happens that there are such sub-brown dwarfs near the sun. In fact, human civilization dispatched a scientific research fleet to study it a long time ago.

Weiss 0855-0714.

Among all stars and semi-finished stars in the entire universe, it is the seventh closest to the sun, only about 7.43 light-years away.

A huge scientific research fleet set off again and embarked on a journey to the star Weiss 0855-0714. About twenty years later, the fleet arrived. With the assistance of human scientists who had been stationed here before and conducted long-term research on this half-finished star, the members of the scientific expedition team immediately got into work.

This planet has unimaginable winds and thunderstorms. Some extreme weather conditions are unheard of by people.

Because of these extreme weather conditions, there are no conditions in the entire solar system.

For example, a dramatic temperature drop from thousands of degrees Celsius to more than 200 degrees below zero in an instant, a sudden change in wind direction, a sudden change in gas density that creates an effect like the earth is collapsing, or ice and snow moving more than ten kilometers per second particles, and even the impact of hailstones the size of stones.

Even if they have been stationed here for hundreds of years, long-term scientific researchers who have a deep understanding of this planet must be cautious when entering this planet and do not dare to be careless at all.

If you are careless, your life may be lost here, and even the body cannot be recovered.

With the strength of the human body, once exposed, it will be immediately torn into the tiniest particles by various extreme weather conditions. With atmospheric movement, it may even spread throughout the planet. In this case, talking about retrieving the body is a joke.

In this unimaginably harsh environment, tens of thousands of engineers and scientists began the construction of experimental bases.

The performance requirements of the materials used in this experimental base are even higher than those of asteroid-class battleships. It would be extremely difficult for Han Yang to make a move.

But here, Han Yang took out millions of tons without hesitation. And he said, you can give as much as you want, there is no upper limit.

In addition to this material, all other test requirements are unconditionally provided at the highest level.

Compared with the key theory of breaking through to the third level civilization, a little effort is nothing.

Even in these years, due to large-scale grand unified theory research, the allocation of scientific research funds exceeded military expenditures for the first time, accounting for about 2.6% of the total wealth of civilization.

It wouldn’t be enough to invest all the wealth created by the entire pterosaur industry.

This does not include the large amount of work that Han Yang has done secretly.

But Han Yang believes that all the efforts are worth it.

Under this situation, a huge scientific research base that is more than ten times larger than an asteroid-class battleship finally took shape. And today is the time for it to "go into the water".

It was built in orbit far away from the planet. At this moment, it will begin to descend into orbit and truly enter the thick gas of this planet.

The deceleration process has begun, and its orbit is slowly lowering under the planet's gravity.

In a gas environment with a density equivalent to only one percent of the Earth's atmosphere, due to the planet's extremely high gas flow rate, the surface temperature of the scientific research base instantly climbed to more than 2,000 degrees Celsius due to friction.

Under the action of extremely strong electric charges and magnetic fields, crackling flashes of light erupted from its surface, just like fireworks.

It's still slowly declining. As the altitude decreases, the gas density becomes higher and higher.

Finally, at a pressure equivalent to about 162 times the Earth's atmosphere, it stopped and relied on thrusters to stabilize its body.

The outside world is pitch black without any light, just like the deep sea. Ultra-high brightness searchlights can only illuminate a distance of less than a hundred meters.

The outside world is a scene like a dark abyss. Sometimes you can see colorful clouds with eerie light, see large or small pieces of icy rocks and ice disappearing in the blink of an eye, and see gases of various colors twisting and merging strangely. , entangled, like an abstract painting.

Even though the stabilization system power has been turned to the maximum, it still trembles slightly.

At the same time, everything in the scientific research base, including the human body, is always subjected to a gravity that is as high as 12 times that of the earth.

A human weighing 80 kilograms would weigh nearly one ton here.

Even if every scientist and engineer who is allowed to work in this scientific research base has undergone countless genetic modifications and undergone a long period of special training, there are also exoskeleton devices to assist the human body. Movement here is extremely difficult.

Under this situation, people began to comprehensively verify the reliability of this scientific research base and make preparations for its eventual move to the "minefield".

A certain area of ​​the planet has the most violent and dense lightning. That area is called a minefield.

Three days passed. The first batch of personnel changed hands and flew away from the scientific research base in a special aircraft, finally getting rid of the nightmare-like experience of being overweight. Another group of personnel entered the scientific research base and took their place.

Groups of scientific researchers have come and gone, always maintaining the normal operation of the scientific research base.

After two months of preparations, the main propeller of the scientific research base was ignited again and began to push the huge and heavy scientific research base towards the minefield.
