Seeing that the quark energy engine quickly output more than 3 grams of mass energy, and the energy index was still increasing, Chen Yi suddenly felt ridiculous.
Einstein's coffin board can't hold this thing at all.
Mass and energy are not conserved at all.
If he remembered correctly, the weight thrown into the quark energy engine this time was only 2 grams. Even if it was completely converted into energy according to the standard of antimatter annihilation, it would only be 2 grams of mass-energy.
But now, it has suddenly jumped to 3 grams. Where does the extra energy come from?
"Is this the essence of the level 2 civilization's quark energy engine, which is a perpetual motion machine that does not abide by the conservation of mass and energy and can output unlimited energy? That's why it can be evaluated that without mastering the quark energy engine, the energy level of the civilization cannot reach stellar standards?"
A bunch of question marks popped up in Chen Yi's mind, and he had some doubts about life.
Not only him, Xuan Nu, who had been assisting in research, also doubted the authenticity of the universe at this moment.
"Xuannu, shut down the quark energy engine first."
After just thinking about it for a moment, the mass energy released by the quark energy engine will exceed 4 grams.
Chen Yi did not continue the experiment, but shouted to Xuannv, indicating to shut down the quark energy engine.
Without him, it was just too hot.
According to the mass-energy formula, 1 gram of mass-energy can be completely converted into about 20 million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy.
Although most of the energy was sent away by more than a dozen superconducting wires, the remaining part released as heat was also continuously drained away.
However, the release of several grams of mass and energy in such a short period of time still exceeds the load of the laboratory system.
A large amount of heat accumulated in the laboratory without being sent away in time, and it has almost turned the place into a purgatory furnace. The temperature soared to more than 100 degrees Celsius, and a large number of organic compound materials equipment and instruments were damaged.
With such crazy energy release and heat accumulation, even if Chen Yi was hiding in a safe room with strong interaction materials that were almost absolute zero and not affected by normal temperature, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened, for fear that if he continued to operate, the entire laboratory would suddenly There was a loud bang, like a super-large pressure cooker exploding and releasing.
When the time comes, nothing will happen to him in the safe house.
But the entire Penghai base needs to be leveled several times at least.
After all, the energy released by the little boy in Hiroshima was only more than 10 million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy, not even comparable to 1 gram of mass energy.
"Retrieve data from the Einstein gravity detector and the Casimir effect vacuum detector."
The quark energy engine shut down and waited for a while.
With the help of the powerful air exchange conversion system, the temperature in the laboratory returned to normal.
Chen Yi ignored some of the equipment and instruments in the laboratory that were damaged by high temperatures. Instead, he shouted to Xuannv, signaling to call up the data from the gravity detector and the Casimir effect meter.
The shells of these two detection instruments are made of strong interaction materials as shielding layers. They will not be damaged if they are thrown into the core of the sun. The temperature of just over 100 degrees Celsius will not have any impact on their operation at all. .
Chen Yi didn't forget it.
This quark energy engine caused great interference in the vacuum when it was first discovered by Yi Fei on the battlefield in the Kuiper Belt.
This causes a large amount of vacuum energy to dissipate, releasing light, particles, and bosons in various bands.
Although the broken instrument has now been repaired and the phenomenon of vacuum interference is wrapped in a shell and cannot be seen, Chen Yi believes that this thing must be related to vacuum.
"Conservation of mass and energy, this is the lowest basic law of the universe."
"If even mass and energy are not conserved, everything in the universe and all galaxies and celestial bodies will have no basis for their existence."
"So, behind the extra mass energy released by the quark energy engine, there must be a vacuum mechanism that Yi Fei doesn't understand or master yet."
“By taking energy from the vacuum, we can output more energy than the fuel mass energy.”
"As for where the energy of the vacuum comes from, it may be from dark energy or from space-time gravity itself."
"This is like the radiation of a black hole. The real essence is the gravitational field of the black hole, which causes the dissipation of vacuum energy and causes the mass of the black hole to be damaged."
"The virtual particle pair hypothesis, the explanation that virtual particles fall into the black hole's event horizon, and real particles escape from the black hole, is just an explanation for popular science to facilitate the public's understanding."
Chen Yi carefully considered and analyzed the excess mass energy of the quark energy engine, and tried his best to improve his thinking and wisdom in the research field and technological research.
Although, these problems can be known by reading the technical information of the quark energy engine through the system program.
But if you don’t think deeply and read more scientific and technological information, you will know it but not know why.
No matter how powerful the technology is, at best, it is just a puppet of the system, not the controller of the system.
"Brother Chen Yi, the Casimir effect vacuum detector detected violent vacuum fluctuations."
"This fluctuation is somewhat unusual. It has an obvious periodic frequency, with obvious back-and-forth fluctuations more than 10 times in 1 second."
"Einstein Condensed Matter Gravity Tester, because the fuel used has only a 2-gram weight, the mass change of the fuel is too low."
"Despite efforts to block external interference, we still cannot detect obvious gravitational fluctuations from the quark energy engine, and can only detect some fuzzy and distorted signals."
"However, analysis of these signals determined the presence of periodic frequency effects consistent with vacuum fluctuations."
A few minutes later.
A large amount of data that had been initially sorted and analyzed appeared in front of Chen Yi.
At the same time, Xuannv also reported her analysis results to Chen Yi in detail.
"Strong vacuum fluctuations were detected, and they also had obvious periodic frequencies. The same happened with the gravity detection instrument, which found obvious periodic gravity changes."
Chen Yi looked at the data in front of him, and the previous research on Higgs field technology, as well as human scientific research over the years, a lot of information about strong gauge fields, vacuum, and quark confinement came to mind.
Suddenly, an astonishing suspicion emerged in his heart.
"Quarks, quark confinement, and the strong interaction increase infinitely with distance."
Chen Yi tapped his fingers on the table and asked Xuannv: "Xuannv, can our current technology, or the strong interaction gauge field inside the quark energy engine, directly destroy and annihilate quarks?"
"cannot."
"Brother Chen Yi, quarks are the most basic particle unit of matter. Unless we use an energy level that is more than ten orders of magnitude stronger than the current space hadron collider for collision and annihilation, or use antimatter for mutual annihilation, otherwise, quarks cannot Destroyed and annihilated.”
Xuannv responded objectively.
"In this case, the quark energy engine opens the quark confinement and releases the energy inside the neutrons and protons."
"Where did the quarks that make up neutrons and protons go?"
Speaking of where Quark had gone, Chen Yi felt his breathing was a little excited, and his eyes showed deep surprise and surprise.
"Brother Chen Yi, what do you mean?"
At this time, Xuannv seemed to have guessed something, and her tone showed a bit of surprise.
"Yes, quark confinement."
"Inside the quark energy engine, neutrons and protons disintegrate, and the strong interaction force binding energy is released. The quarks are free again, and driven by the original kinetic energy, they fly away in all directions."
"But because the strength of the strong interaction increases infinitely with distance."
"The quarks that have gained freedom do not move away from the quark energy engine. This is because of the attraction of the infinitely growing strong interaction force and recombine to form new protons and neutrons."
“But inside neutrons and protons, quarks only occupy 1% of the mass energy, and the kinetic energy of quarks only accounts for 29% of the mass energy. The remaining 70% is the strong interaction between quarks. of binding energy.”
"The original strong interaction binding energy has been converted into heat, electrons, etc. and released at the moment when neutrons and protons disintegrate."
"If quarks want to recombine to form protons and neutrons, the binding energy that accounts for 70% of the mass energy must be supplemented."
"Without sufficient binding energy, free quarks cannot form confinements and combine to form protons and neutrons."
"If I guess correctly, the source of this binding energy is the vacuum."
"Because the strong interaction is not an electromagnetic force, its unique mechanism, which goes deep into the quantum level, is destined to be similar to the Higgs field in that it can only obtain energy from the vacuum, but cannot obtain it from the surrounding environment."
"In this way, this leads to the problem that the quark energy engine will cause vacuum energy fluctuations, and it also explains the reason why the output of the quark energy engine is greater than the fuel mass energy."
Chen Yi had a clear mind and told Xuannv his conjecture in an orderly manner.
As he spoke, he had already pictured a picture in his mind, a picture of free quarks moving inside the quark energy engine.
Because of the interference of the artificial strong gauge field of the quark energy engine, the quark confinement of neutrons and protons is opened, and the quarks trapped inside the neutrons and protons are released.
The quark is released, and because it has strong kinetic energy, it instantly accelerates away from the artificial strong gauge field of the quark energy engine.
At the same time, as the distance increases, the attraction between quarks also increases infinitely, eventually surpassing the strength of the artificial strong gauge field, and quark confinement is formed again. All quarks are pulled back, gain energy from the vacuum, and re-form new neutrons and neutrons. Proton.
After that, the new neutrons and protons disintegrated again under the interference of the artificial strong gauge field of the quark energy engine, and the quarks were released.
so.
It’s not that mass and energy are not conserved.
It is a mechanism of quark confinement, which allows the released quarks to combine repeatedly to form new neutrons and protons after the disintegration of neutrons and protons.
The same fuel was burned over and over again inside the quark energy engine.
In the end, it was realized that 2 grams of fuel can release far more than 2 grams of mass energy, and the quark energy engine can continuously release energy.
Because inside the quark energy engine, the fuel put in is just a primer.
The real source of energy is the mechanism of borrowing energy from vacuum based on quark confinement.
Unlike nuclear fusion engines and decay engines, energy comes from the mass energy of the fuel injected.
"This thing is said to be a quark energy engine, but actually it is more appropriately called a vacuum energy engine."
"This is simply the key to unlocking the infinite energy of vacuum, opening the door to vacuum energy."
Chen Yi sighed, looked at the system interface in front of him, and chose to read without any further hesitation.
boom!
A large amount of information and formula data exploded in Chen Yi's mind.
With the help of modified neurons and implanted biological quantum brain chips, Chen Yi quickly stored and classified all information, and at the same time established a preliminary understanding during the classification process.
"Sure enough, my analysis is correct."
"The quark energy engine obtains energy from the vacuum through the quark confinement mechanism."
Chen Yi had a hint of understanding in his eyes.
Although the deep mysteries and details contained in the mechanisms of the quark energy engine and quark confinement borrowing energy from the vacuum will take longer to digest, the most basic framework mechanism was understood immediately.
"Xuan Nu, increase research on quark energy engines."
"Increase the speed and frequency of quark recombination as much as possible, so that the quark energy engine can release more powerful energy per unit time."
"At the same time, based on the mechanism of the quark energy engine obtaining energy from the vacuum, we will conduct further analysis and research to try to see if we can find a breakthrough in negative energy technology and find an entry point for space-time technology."
After reading the technical information of the Quark Energy Engine and verifying the mechanism of the Quark Energy Engine, Chen Yi was not in a hurry to digest the deeper mysteries.
Instead, we use the quark energy engine as a springboard to think about the next technological breakthrough.
That is negative energy.
Negative energy refers to an energy lower than the normal vacuum and lower than the zero point energy of vacuum.
If the zero-point energy of vacuum fluctuations is used as a dividing standard, anything above zero is positive energy, and anything below zero is negative energy.
According to modern scientific research and Yi Fei's breakthrough during this period, Chen Yi has determined that negative energy has a space-time effect and can affect the curvature of space-time.
Even in some conjectures and data analysis, negative energy is probably the graviton that people have been searching for but failed.
Because space-time and negative energy are related, and the relationship between space-time and mass is inseparable, and negative energy is closely related to vacuum.
Based on this information and imagination, combined with the intelligent battleships of the cosmic dimension-enhancing forces, there is a quark energy engine.
Chen Yi speculated that Higgs field technology, the mechanism of quarks obtaining energy from vacuum, and the study of vacuum energy are likely to be the precursor technologies for space-time curvature navigation.
After completing these technological breakthroughs and curvature navigation, there is a high probability that a formal breakthrough will be achieved.
At the same time, Chen Yi also understood why it was in the system's evaluation.
Only when the quark energy engine breaks through can a civilization be considered a level 2 civilization, and only then can the civilization's energy index reach the level of a star.
Nothing else.
It is really a quark energy engine, the ultimate in obtaining energy from the vacuum through quark confinement. It is too powerful.
The mass energy released by the sun in one second is 4.2 million tons.
This parameter is replaced by a quark energy engine.
Just increase the quark combination frequency to 10,000 times per second, and then increase the fuel mass to tens of tons.
The energy output of ten quark energy engines is comparable to the energy output of the sun.
Of course, just as it takes time to eliminate the mass of the Higgs field and then borrow energy from the vacuum to restore the mass, Chen Yi knows that it will definitely take time for quark confinement to borrow energy from the vacuum.
But the natural Higgs field can only impart or eliminate 1% of the mass and energy of matter.
Quark confinement is related to 70% of the mass and energy of matter.
This gap made Chen Yi understand that the vacuum bandwidth of quark confinement and the speed of energy acquisition are absolutely the same as the mechanism of the Higgs field.
"First digest and absorb all the deep mysteries and details contained in quark energy engine technology."
"Let's use a few more high-attribute and ultra-powerful quark energy engines to work out miracles and verify the connection between quark confinement and negative energy."
"At that time, the research center's analysis of other wreckage of the space-ascending force's intelligent warships almost had preliminary results."
After confirming the next plan, Chen Yi did not stay in the laboratory, but went to his residence and began the mode of seclusion and hard training.
