Chapter 305 Level Civilization!

The reliability and stability of the scientific research base have passed the test of the actual environment, and it is qualified to go to minefields and conduct real research.

In the thick water-like gas, the scientific research base moved with the wind.

Along with the change in location, sporadic lightning began to appear outside the scientific research base. Some lightning strikes will even hit the shell of the base violently.

The closer you are to the minefield, the higher the lightning density and the more powerful the energy.

Finally arrived at the minefield and stopped at the scientific research base.

At this moment, thousands of thunder and lightning struck down from the infinite sky like sharp knives, dispelling all the surrounding darkness.

Countless thunder and lightning appeared and disappeared violently, disappeared and appeared again, never stopping.

In fact, this scene has lasted on this planet for more than one billion years, and will continue for at least ten billion years.

After a series of preparations, the test officially began.

The lightning device has been activated.

A huge and unusual thunderbolt was suddenly generated, penetrating all the surrounding thick gas, and hitting the thunder tower.

This majestic energy born from the nature of heaven and earth was guided all the way to the core of the huge scientific research base through the devices created by humans.

There is a hollow reaction chamber as huge as a house. In the reaction chamber, a tiny piece of zinc with a mass of less than 0.1 grams is suspended.

The next moment, this tiny zinc piece with a mass of only 0.1 grams disappeared instantly and turned into a plasma with extremely high temperature, even as high as tens of billions of degrees Celsius.

A series of wonderful physical processes take place in this moment.

But this time the experiment was not successful. The reason is that the energy level is still not enough, and it is a little short of the predetermined goal.

But it doesn't matter, this first time is just experimental. The equipment has not been adjusted to its optimal condition, and the thunder and lightning caused at this moment is not the most powerful.

Another piece of zinc was manipulated by the magnetic field and entered the core of the reaction chamber.

Time passes day by day. With constant fine-tuning, the entire equipment finally reached its optimal state. Not long after this, a powerful thunder and lightning that was considered top-notch even on this planet suddenly generated and was attracted by the thunder tower.

The day that people have been waiting for for who knows how long has finally arrived.

This time, the zinc flakes disappeared without a trace again. However, during this energy explosion with an unprecedented ultra-high energy level, people finally observed some wonderful and unprecedented phenomena.

The photomultiplier observes more photons. At the same time, a series of particles such as tauons, pi mesons, and muons, which would not have appeared originally, or even if they appeared, could not have such energy levels and quantities, suddenly appeared.

The tens of thousands of scientists around this planet, as well as the millions of scientists in the solar system, as well as Han Yang, all began to study and analyze the massive data of several terabytes generated by this experiment at this moment.

three months later.

Through these data, Han Yang finally figured out the cause of all these strange phenomena in the reaction chamber.

The quark confinement is broken.

Quarks are subatomic particles.

Atomic nuclei are made of protons and neutrons, which are made of quarks.

At low energy levels, that is, in the current cosmic environment, there are no free quarks. Quarks can only appear in pairs or threes.

The reason for this is because of the strong interaction force.

The strong force holds quarks together. For quarks, the strong force has a peculiar property. If the quarks are forcibly separated, the farther the distance, the stronger the "attraction" between the quarks.

Just like a rubber band, the longer you stretch it, the harder it contracts.

This is called quark confinement. If the quarks are forcibly separated, if the distance is too far, the energy required to separate the quarks will be greater than the quark's mass.

And energy and mass are equivalent.

At this time, another quark pair will be born through energy, appearing next to the two separated quarks, and still forming a quark pair. Free quarks still cannot exist.

So no matter what, quarks cannot exist alone.

But at this moment, under the powerful thunderstorm of the brown dwarf star and at the ultra-high energy level, the quark confinement was broken. Free quarks appear.

Because in this case, the strong interaction is no longer the strong interaction. It merges with the electroweak force to form a "unified force".

It is precisely because of this that this series of wonderful physical phenomena that have not been observed before appear. All this lasted only a moment. After an instant, as the temperature drops, due to the breakdown of spontaneity, the strong force is separated from the unified force, quark confinement appears again, and free quarks disappear.

As the temperature drops further, the electromagnetic force and the weak interaction force are also separated due to the breakdown of spontaneity, and become a regular physical phenomenon.

But just this momentary change has been accurately captured by numerous observation equipment, allowing people to accurately analyze every tiny change.

At this moment, Han Yang took a long breath in his heart. Unprecedented joy enveloped his soul.

Until now, until he had truly observed the unity of the three basic forces, he could finally say with certainty that the framework of the grand unified theory had been built by himself.

Although there are still too many things that have not been understood at this moment, and there are no concrete practical applications yet, those things are only supplements and improvements to the grand unified theoretical framework.

The breakthrough from zero to one has truly been completed. No matter how many subsequent developments there are, it will only be a change from one to a hundred, to ten thousand, which is completely different from the current breakthrough.

Han Yang can finally announce to everyone that from this moment on, human civilization has finally truly become a level three civilization.

A real, third-level civilization with no falsehood at all!

"Announcement from the Academy of Human Sciences: Our civilization has made a major breakthrough in the grand unified theory, and the skeleton of the grand unified theory has been built."

"Announcement from the Executive Committee of the Human Civilization Government: Our civilization has initially mastered the Grand Unification Theory. From this moment on, our human civilization has truly completed the breakthrough from a second-level civilization to a third-level civilization!"

This great news ignited the enthusiasm of all mankind in an instant. Recalling the time when human civilization was brutally colonized, and now it has finally become a powerful third-level civilization, countless people have tears in their eyes.

This news was immediately conveyed back to their own civilizations by the ambassadors of the other three major civilizations of the Sun Alliance in the solar system.

For a time, the people of Yuanshan Civilization, Motan Civilization, and Fix Civilization also began to cheer and celebrate.

Although this is the result of human civilization, the friendliness and reliability of human civilization have been verified time and time again over the past hundreds of years.

Now that humans have become stronger and have become a level three civilization, doesn’t it mean that our civilization can get more security? Doesn’t it mean that by following human civilization, we can get more benefits and civilization will become stronger?

The main reason is that the solar system where human civilization is located has become the spiritual home of countless people among the three major civilizations. I don’t know how many people are yearning for it, even if they spend all their money, they want to go to the solar system and make a "pilgrimage".

In terms of interests, human civilization has become a third-level civilization, which is in the interest of every civilization. In terms of emotions, everyone is looking forward to and hoping that human beings will become stronger.

When the two are combined, this event becomes a great joy for all civilizations in the entire Sun Star Territory.

For a time, a total of four civilizations celebrated each other and held celebrations one after another. Under the strong suggestions of the three heads of civilization, Yuanshan, Fix, and Motan, the Sun Alliance held a special meeting.

The heads of state of the three major civilizations even personally expressed their congratulations to Han Liang.

The impact of this incident slowly dissipated, and more scientific researchers are still focused on improving the grand unified theory, doing their best to improve this framework, and strive to apply it as soon as possible.

At this stage, after truly mastering the grand unified theory, Han Yang and human scientists have roughly figured out how to realize the iconic technology of level three civilization.

Han Yang has determined that the iconic technologies of level three civilizations, including protium fusion, energy shields, energy cannons, and refrigerant propulsion, all involve quark confinement, which is related to the strong interaction force.

The first is protium fusion. As the type of fusion with the highest fusion energy but the most demanding fusion conditions, it cannot be achieved simply by increasing the temperature and pressure. Even if it is barely achieved, it is not economical.

A more suitable solution is to study a new method of affecting microscopic particles based on the grand unified theory, to achieve protium fusion at lower temperatures and pressures, and to achieve the effect of obtaining more energy per unit mass of fuel.

The same goes for energy cannons and energy shields.

The underlying principle of the energy cannon is actually the same as that of the electromagnetic gun, which is to launch extremely high-speed projectiles to cause damage.

But why is the energy cannon so much more powerful than the electromagnetic gun?

The secret lies in the projectile.

After mastering the grand unified theory, you can use a special method to put the electromagnetic gun projectile in a "quark excited state." Electromagnetic gun projectiles in this state contain more energy.

To make a simple analogy, it is like an ordinary arrow and a red-hot arrow.

Obviously, the red-hot arrows, in addition to ordinary penetration damage, also have high-temperature burn damage.

In this way, the lethality is increased without increasing the mass of the projectile or affecting the launch speed.

The energy shield also places the particles in this excited state, and then binds them with a magnetic field to wrap them around the battleship.

Because the particles in this excited state have extremely strong energy, they can block projectiles, dust, and debris from the outside world, achieving the effect of a protective shield.

As for the medium-free propulsion technology, Han Yang confirmed that it is also based on the grand unified theory.
