"It is not affected by normal temperatures. It can be thrown into a nuclear fusion reactor and endure hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius without any reaction."
"It has superconducting properties at room temperature and pressure. Its density is 1.2 times that of ordinary titanium alloys, but its strength is beyond imagination. It is only slightly damaged when it comes to strong interaction materials."
"The electromagnetic wave absorption rate is no different from that of ordinary materials. It absorbs part and reflects part. However, if it is continuously irradiated, current fluctuations can be detected, and the properties of the material do not change."
"The most important thing is that the electron tunnel scanner did not find conventional electron and atomic nucleus structures."
"This material is the same as the strong interaction material in that there are no electrons."
"There are no electrons, but there is conductivity and superconductivity."
"In addition, fluctuations in the magnetic field were detected inside this broken instrument, and the various particles and light came from the vacuum at the center of the magnetic field, not the instrument itself."
"The Casimir effect vacuum detector successfully discovered and determined the vacuum fluctuations caused by this instrument in a noisy environment at an almost perfect distance."
"It can be determined from this that this instrument is indeed closely related to vacuum, but the materials used to make the instrument are full of doubts."
Looking at the analysis report in front of him, after various temperature tests, ultrasonic vibration detection, gravity detection, electromagnetic wave active detection, proton scanner detection, and even electron tunnel scanning, Chen Yi couldn't help but frown. .
"Xuannu, send this report, as well as the magnetic field fluctuation data inside the instrument, to the research center."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi gave a decisive order and turned to look at Shao Kaiwang aside: "Kaiwang, all the debris of this space-ascending smart warship will be brought back to Blue Star after safety inspection.
Next, your research center needs to get busy.
We need to determine the material and craftsmanship of these wreckage fragments, analyze their functions in the complete state, analyze the remaining information of some storage equipment of this battleship, and then combine it with other traces of the fragments to see if we can find its source, as well as about the curvature. Some information on the mysteries of time and space.
I hope that the study of these fragments can provide basic theoretical data and direction guidance for our next development, and provide some help for us to prepare for the next attack by the forces of universe expansion. "
"Yes, I understand."
Shao Kaiwang nodded firmly.
time flies.
Soon, more than a week passed.
The wreckage and fragments of the space-ascending force's intelligent battleship have all been captured and collected by Yi Fei.
In a completely physically isolated environment, after a series of safety inspections, it was determined that these fragments contained no unknown memetic information and no active intelligent programs. Finally, several warships sent them back to Blue Star.
Penghai base.
A battleship fell from the sky and parked steadily in the square of the base.
Then the hatch opened, and several crawler-type intelligent robots came down carrying a 3-meter-square metal box.
Chen Yi, who had been waiting for a long time. Although he was not afraid of radiation, he put on a biochemical protective suit just to be on the safe side. He took the box and transported it to the laboratory at the base.
"The Casimir effect vacuum detector did not detect any fluctuations in vacuum energy?"
Chen Yi did not rush to open the box, but first turned on various radiation protection measures, then took out the Casimir effect vacuum detector to detect the vacuum fluctuations caused by the instrument inside the box again.
After more than a week.
Originally, the vacuum of the solar system fluctuated like a tsunami due to the massive launch of mass bombs borrowing energy from the vacuum. This has subsided.
There is no interference from these vacuum environmental noises.
It stands to reason that the Casimir effect vacuum detector can directly detect the fluctuations of the instrument inside the box.
"My metal box can't be inserted into the vacuum level to block the fluctuations of the vacuum, right?"
Chen Yi thought for a while, then calmly stepped back a distance and hid behind a safe house made of strong interaction materials. Then an intelligent robot walked up, entered the password, and opened the box.
Card bang.
The lid of the box was lifted.
The dilapidated, silver-white instruments inside were revealed.
The danger Chen Yi expected, or any strange energy release, did not happen.
Everything was quiet and unremarkable.
Chen Yi called up the real-time detection data of the laboratory's environment.
I found that except for the momentary change in the radiation, but then returned to normal, there was no sign of danger at all, so I walked out of the safe house with confidence and came to the box.
"It seems that this instrument has really completely stopped working and no longer works."
Seeing An Anjing lying in the box, no longer emitting light and broken with various particles, Chen Yi's eyes showed a bit of curiosity.
"I just don't know what kind of instrument this is."
"After a week of research and analysis of the previously detected internal magnetic field data, it is probably determined that it is related to the strong gauge field."
Chen Yi thought back on more than a week of research.
Thanks to the improvement of the Higgs field model, there are also breakthroughs in materials with strong interaction forces.
Nowadays, humans and Yi Fei have a certain degree of mastery and understanding of the strong gauge field.
Just as the electroweak unified technology can interfere with and control the weak force gauge field through a special magnetic field, the same goes for the strong gauge field, which can be controlled and interfered with through a special magnetic field.
The magnetic field data of this instrument is related to the strong gauge field, so there is no doubt that this is a scientific and technological instrument of the strong interaction force system.
"The strong gauge field, I just don't know what kind of instrument this thing is."
Chen Yi's mind flashed through the classification of civilization levels that he had learned from the Lizard Civilization before. Among them, there are several key technologies related to strong gauge fields, such as quark engines and quantum transformation.
Yes, quantum transformation.
Because the strong force is too strong and the range of action is too short, the scale of the strong force is completely shrunk to the quantum scale.
This leads to the fact that the study of quantum cannot avoid the strong interaction, and the study of strong interaction cannot avoid the quantum.
"I feel that there is a great possibility of quantum transformation of instruments."
"Previously, this instrument obtained energy from vacuum, but quantum is obviously more closely related to vacuum."
"As for the quark engine, the vivid description should be called the hadron engine. This is an energy engine with higher mass-to-energy conversion efficiency and a generation more advanced than the decay engine."
Chen Yi recalled the difference between the two energy engines.
The efficiency of normal decay and mass-to-energy conversion is only one ten thousandth or even one millionth. The reason why it can output such high energy is the result of controlling the weak force gauge field to undergo multiple decays.
Within a hadron, the energy between quarks accounts for more than 70%.
This means that the mass-energy efficiency of the quark engine will be as high as more than 70%, which is undoubtedly a huge improvement compared to the decay engine.
"No matter what it is, just fix it."
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't be sure, so Chen Yi simply gave up.
Pick up a few scattered pieces in the box and stick them to the broken gaps in the instrument like a puzzle.
No electric welding is used.
Because previous detection analysis has shown.
The material of this thing only conducts electricity, but does not have electrons, and the welding bond of electric welding relies on electronic chemical bonding.
So Chen Yi used an electromagnetic material.
After being energized, an electromagnetic field is formed, and then they are bonded through the attraction of the magnetic field.
"That should be enough."
After fitting all the fragments found in the box correspondingly, the general shape of the originally dilapidated instrument could be barely discerned.
A system interface appeared in front of Chen Yi.
[Item: Quark Energy Engine (Broken)]
[Attributes: Energy x7888 (-7888), Control x6790 (-6003), Efficiency x10001 (-9476), Strength x432, Beauty 26.3 (-22.2)
[The detection items exceed the limits of conventional fields, and the adjusted consciousness wave consumption increases a thousand times]
[Note: This is an energy engine that goes deep into the quantum level and is based on the strong interaction force gauge field. It can open the quark confinement, split neutrons, protons and other hadrons, and release the huge mass energy inside the hadrons.
Only by mastering quark energy engine technology can the civilization sequence truly enter the level 2 sequence, and the energy power of civilization will exceed the power of stars.
But unfortunately, it was bombarded by external forces and almost destroyed its normal functions.
If you can repair it and complete normal startup, perhaps you will witness one of the deep mysteries of the universe]
"It's actually a quark engine?"
Chen Yi's eyes showed a bit of surprise.
He didn't expect that this broken instrument related to vacuum would actually be a quark engine.
"And this evaluation, is it too exaggerated?"
"Only by mastering the quark engine can the civilization sequence truly enter Level 2, and the energy power of civilization will surpass stars."
"Doesn't this mean that without mastering the quark energy engine, it will never be called a level 2 civilization, and the total energy of the civilization will not be able to surpass the stars."
Chen Yi's eyes flashed with doubts.
You know, the mass-energy release of the quark engine is only 70%.
Although it is much more powerful than the decay engine, the decay engine undergoes multiple decays and the mass-energy release can reach 20% or even 30%.
One is 70%, the other is 20 or 30%
The gap is a bit big, but not to the point of being earth-shattering.
As for that, if you don’t master the quark engine, it won’t be considered a level 2 civilization, and the total energy of the civilization will not be able to reach the level of a star?
"The energy released by the sun is 4.2 million tons of mass energy per second."
"This data is indeed a difficult milestone for the decay engine."
"The sun is just a small star in the star sequence. It is a yellow dwarf star. Compared with blue giants and super blue giants, it is the younger brother."
"Why is this quark engine so powerful?"
Chen Yi carefully looked at the evaluation of the system interface in front of him, pondered for a while, and finally fixed his gaze on the word quark confinement.
Quark is in confinement, Chen Yi knows.
This is a physical phenomenon of the universe, and can even be said to be a physical rule of the universe.
To put it simply, quarks will never exist freely or alone. They must always be together with other quarks to form neutrons or protons.
The root cause of the mechanism behind this is mainly that the strong interaction force is too strong.
Unlike other basic forces, the strength of gravity, electromagnetic force, and weak force all weaken with distance. The strength and distance are inversely proportional to each other. But the strong force, this basic force, is strange. Its strength increases with distance. The intensity and distance are directly proportional to each other.
But even so, when the distance shrinks to the quantum scale and shrinks to the inside of a proton, the strength of the strong interaction is still hundreds of millions of times that of gravity. It can definitely be called the bully among the four brothers of the fundamental force.
As the direct target of the strong interaction, quarks are also deeply bound by the strong man.
Because the farther the distance, the stronger the strong interaction force.
Once two quarks are separated, the attraction between them will instantly increase infinitely.
The infinitely growing attraction will bind each quark to each other, forming neutrons and protons one by one, ensuring that there are no free quarks or independent quarks in the universe.
And this is the confinement of quarks.
Among them, hadrons belong to the prison of quarks, and the strong interaction force is the invincible jailer of this prison, locking every quark in the prison.
"In a quark prison, inside a proton and neutron, according to the Higgs field model."
"The mass of the quark itself is only one percent, and the kinetic energy of the quark is 29%. The strong interaction force, which transmits strong gluon energy, accounts for 70%."
"Mass and energy are indistinguishable, and protons and neutrons are the basic units of visible matter."
"It can be said that almost 70% of the things we touch in daily life and everything we see, including all things in the universe and celestial bodies and stars, are caused by the strong interaction force."
"This shows how perverted the strength of the strong interaction, the prison guard of quark, is."
"When protons and neutrons disintegrate inside the quark engine and the quark confinement is opened, 70% of the mass energy will burst out instantly."
"But it's still far from the energy of a star."
"The remaining energy vacancies should most likely be based on the quark confinement mechanism."
Chen Yi recalled all kinds of information about Quark's confinement, and with a thought, colorful lights bloomed.
[Energy: 7888 (-7888) → 200]
[Control: 6790 (-6003) → 587]
[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】
The light dissipated, and with the 200 points of control attribute adjusted to the energy attribute, the originally broken quark energy engine suddenly became intact and functioning normally.
The only flaw is probably that the powerful quark engine, which was previously capable of interstellar navigation and curvature navigation, has become a low-power engine that may not be able to drive a warship flying.
"Xuan Nu, connect the high-precision energy measuring instrument to determine the energy released by this engine." Chen Yi did not rush to read the information, but looked at the superconducting wire output and input ports on the quark energy engine and asked Xuan The woman ordered.
"Roger it, brother Chen Yi."
Xuannv responded.
Several intelligent robots came over immediately, holding superconducting wires and related measuring instruments, as well as high-probability loads, and arranged them around the quark engine and connected them to the quark engine.
While Xuannv was busy wiring, Chen Yi searched around the laboratory, dug out a standard 2-gram weight, opened the fuel placement port of the quark engine, and placed it in the center of the magnetic field inside the engine.
Because the quark energy engine opens quark confinement by controlling the strong gauge field.
In addition to dark matter and dark energy, other substances that contain neutrons or protons can be used as fuel, which is less picky than decay engines.
In this way, using standard mass weights as fuel makes it easier to calculate the fuel and energy output ratio.
"Xuannu, start the engine."
To be on the safe side, after placing the fuel, Chen Yi hid behind the safety wall before giving instructions to Xuannv.
The words fell.
There was a loud sound.
The quark energy engine in the middle of the laboratory started.
Surging heat was released on the surface of the engine, and at the same time, the connected superconducting wire began to detect the output of current.
Arranged around the quark engine, there are also high-precision energy measuring instruments connected to superconducting wires. They begin to measure and calculate the output energy of the quark engine, and then convert it into mass-energy parameters and transmit them back to the background.
On the screen projected in front of Chen Yi, a value was rapidly increasing.
0.13 grams of mass-energy. 0.79 grams of mass-energy. 1.65 grams of mass-energy. 2.72 grams of mass-energy.
"Um???"
Seeing the energy data released by the quark engine, which suddenly exceeded 2 grams of mass-energy and was still increasing, Chen Yi was stunned.
