Everyone knows that as long as they wait long enough, there will always be high-energy particles in the universe that happen to have the parallel trajectory of this semi-open particle collider, and thus collide just under people's observation field of view. Because in the final analysis, this is just a matter of probability.
What people didn't expect was that people were so lucky that they only waited for such a short time before ushering in this crucial collision.
In this moment, people observed that a large number of particles were generated in an instant. Among them, because of the extremely short half-life, most particles decay into other particles as soon as they are produced. But it doesn't matter. By observing the energy and type of other particles, we can still use physical formulas to deduce what particles decayed into them.
This entire process can be described and calculated using formulas. The formula is used to predict the generation, decay and final products of particles, and the actual experimental environment and generated data in turn verify the correctness of the formula.
This is the highest energy particle collision ever observed in the history of human civilization. It is foreseeable that it will inevitably generate a lot of data that has never been seen before.
At this moment, the entire physics community was boiling.
Zhao Changxing also felt excited about this. Because the scientific data from the Moyun Litar civilization clearly shows that a considerable part of the ladder from the second-level civilization to the third-level civilization is hidden in the microscopic world.
Under Zhao Changxing's watchful eye, as the population continues to increase, and as civilization continues to metabolize, starting from this particle collision, numerous scientific research discoveries have emerged one after another.
The scientists and scientific data from the Moyun Litar civilization cannot push human civilization into the third level of civilization. The reason is very simple. The scientific system of level three civilization is complex and huge. Just passing on this knowledge without any promotion would require hundreds of millions of professional scientific researchers.
Those scientific materials and the knowledge mastered by scientists only occupy a small part of the entire third-level civilization scientific system. This can certainly provide a great impetus to the scientific and technological system of human civilization, and even accelerate the scientific and technological progress of human civilization and prevent the scientific and technological path of human civilization from going astray, but more blank parts still need to be filled by human civilization itself. .
Against this background of development, a number of blank spaces were written, and a number of technologies that people had not mastered before, nor obtained from the Moyun Litar civilization, were developed by people themselves.
More complete theories of star and galaxy evolution, cosmic evolution theory, microscopic particle models, space-time environment models, etc. are all produced from these many basic scientific research facilities that can be regarded as important scientific research tools.
Gradually, the total population of human civilization reached 300 million - which is not inconsistent with the previously proposed upper limit of 200 million people.
The upper limit of population of 200 million refers to the population when leaving this galaxy. At this moment, there is still some time before leaving this galaxy. During this period, the large-scale production of newborns through artificial wombs will be completely stopped, and all incentives for childbirth will be cancelled. Whether to have children is completely voluntary.
Then, according to the calculation of the population birth rate and death rate model, starting from the current stage, the population of human civilization will spontaneously and slowly decrease, until the time of departure arrives, it will drop to about 200 million.
At this moment, human civilization has truly reached an unprecedented peak state since leaving the earth.
At this moment, human beings have footprints all over the three major planets and thousands of asteroids in this star system. There are more than 3,000 roller-type space cities distributed around the three major planets.
There are numerous factories and resource bases spread across any slightly larger planet, and millions of spacecraft of various types are busy shuttling between different planets.
In their spare time after work, people can go to Planet No. 1 to experience the huge storm that spreads across the entire hemisphere, has been blowing violently for many billions of years, and will still exist for at least 10 billion years. On the meter-deep seabed, you can feel the majesty and romance of thousands of miles of ice fields on the back of Planet 1 under the endless starry sky. You can also feel the power of super giant volcanic eruptions on Planet 2, and feel the steel jungle of Planet 3. , feel the desolation and coldness of the asteroid, and you can also feel the eruption of ice springs from billions of years ago on the comet.
The development of genetic modification technology has made people almost free from the entanglement and torture of diseases, and they have a strong body and abundant energy. The great abundance of materials allows people to enjoy everything in life, and everything is very cheap anyway - because nuclear fusion fuel is almost unlimited, everything is almost cheap.
Compared to the time when I was in the solar system and on the Sedna star, struggling for some resources, now, I can undoubtedly think that I am in paradise.
"If you don't have to leave here and can develop here without restraint, then this place will really be a paradise..."
At Roller Base No. 1, looking at the virtual star map in front of him, Zhao Changxing felt a faint sigh in his heart.
Unfortunately, human civilization will eventually leave here.
Even in order to improve the safety of human civilization, Zhao Changxing had to promote stringent "environmental protection" measures to strictly limit the emission of various gases and dust while civilization was developing unbridled.
For example, major mining plants, major metal smelting plants, chemical plants, etc. are all equipped with gas and dust filtration and recovery devices. All waste will be compressed into solids, then packaged, and transported to garbage dumps for storage to prevent them from being disposed of. Entering the planet's atmosphere.
Of course, promoting this is not really for the sake of environmental protection. Its actual purpose is to avoid changing the elemental structure of the planet's atmosphere, causing other civilizations to detect the existence of a civilization in extremely remote places through changes in the spectrum of the planet's atmosphere.
Fortunately, because energy is abundant and cheap, apart from a little more work and a certain decrease in efficiency, this has not caused any other impact.
Now, the development of human civilization on this planet has entered its peak stage. And Zhao Changxing knew very well that after the peak, there would be a decline.
It is now the year 1436 of the New Calendar, and there are still about two hundred years left before the final departure.
Zhao Changxing knew that the development strategy of civilization should be changed again.
Some time ago, the scientific research power of civilization was more concentrated in the field of basic physics, and great efforts were made in the exploration of basic physical theories, and many gains were achieved. Now, it is time to make a shift and translate these discoveries in fundamental physics into applied physics.
In a normal scientific system, its theoretical system is always ahead of its applied system. Depending on the direction, some places may even be hundreds of years ahead.
Just like the original Earth Age, it took decades after the theory of relativity was proposed to be put into practical application, and powerful weapons such as atomic bombs and subsequent nuclear power plants were created.
However, even string theory, superstring theory, and m-theory that have been proposed in the age of the earth have still not been applied in practice until now, more than a thousand years later.
This certainly does not mean that from now on, research and exploration in the field of basic physics will stop. In fact, it's just a different focus.
Along with the changes in civilization development strategies and the slow decline in the total population of human civilization, breakthroughs at many application levels have emerged one by one.
Steel with better performance, small-scale industrial preparation of metallic hydrogen, more advanced shielding materials, more efficient propulsion engines, supercomputers with more powerful computing performance, etc., are emerging like a tide.
People are even a little numb to this kind of breakthrough of great significance that will appear every now and then, giving people an intuitive feeling that the world is changing rapidly.
This is the change that breakthroughs in basic theory can bring to the application level.
However, all these breakthroughs were finally reflected in the technological creation that Zhao Changxing, as well as many civilization leaders, scientists, and people of insight in the civilization valued most - the combat spacecraft.
Whenever there is a new technological breakthrough, the military will always be the first to apply it.
At this moment, a ship adopts the most advanced technology that human civilization has mastered, and combines it with part of the Moyun Litar civilization technology. For this part of the technology, humans are still unclear about their specific principles, but it does not prevent people from applying them. The most advanced battleship produced was presented to Zhao Changxing and a group of civilization leaders.
It has a less than standard spherical shape as a whole, with a diameter of about 400 meters. The shell is made of new special steel and metallic hydrogen. It has a blast armor protection system that combines passive and active types. It can withstand bombardment by extremely powerful electromagnetic projectiles and has considerable stealth and electromagnetic protection capabilities.
It uses antimatter as its internal energy source, and its propulsion method uses a thruster that imitates the Yuanhang spacecraft and has about 60% of its propulsion efficiency.
The weapon system uses a large number of small, medium and micro electromagnetic guns as conventional weapons, a large electromagnetic gun with a high-power laser cannon as the main gun, large and medium-sized interstellar missiles as guided weapons, and micro missiles loaded with anti-matter bombs as the final trump card. .
Zhao Changxing very much hopes to crack the relevant technology of the "vacuum cannon" equipped in the Yuanhang spacecraft. Even if his counterfeit vacuum cannon can only have 10% of its power, it is acceptable. After all, this is truly beyond the second level. The super weapon of civilization.
But unfortunately, the human scientific community has not succeeded. There is no equipment on this state-of-the-art spacecraft.
