70. Antimatter electrons
"Brother!"
A loud roar sounded out of thin air, pulling Shen Yunhong back from the boundless void, so startled that he almost jumped out of the stone bench.
"As I said, we succeeded, in the truest sense of the word! This year's Nobel Prize in Physics is mine, and the winner is Powell, an astrophysics major from Stanford University. Professor Duvan! This honor is mine, I told you, I told you ten years ago! ”
Before Shen Yunhong could say a word, Powell had already imagined his heartfelt congratulations, and tears welled up in his congratulations.
Shen Yunhong really wanted to congratulate him loudly, but at this time, his eyes were also a little moist, and his throat was blocked somehow, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Before entering the cave laboratory, he was still worried about the confusion that he could not get rid of, but after two hours of entering, the confusion spread out like a dark cloud overhead, and he suddenly realized that as soon as the morning dawned, he had to start busy with many important things.
Powell waltzed in circles in the stone house, knocking things over and not caring if he knocked them over. In fact, according to his current happiness, it is enough to turn the nest he has stayed in for ten years upside down.
It was not enough to express his excitement with a solo dance, and at this moment of changing history, he had to do something particularly marked to commemorate it, so Da Ra pulled out a heavy glass bottle from the drawer and threw it at Shen Yunhong. When the latter received it, it was actually a bottle of Cabernet dry red wine from the Murray River Valley in South Australia, which had been cellared for 20 years.
"I said, Brother Shen, I know that drinking here violates the rules you set and will be punished. But you see, there are only you and me in the lab, and at this moment of fame, celebration is a natural thing, so why don't we just do this bottle of wine together? ”
No matter how excited Shen Yunhong was in his heart, his reason would not be separated from his brain because of this, as soon as he saw the wine, the smile on his face was a twitch, and he asked, "Where did you get this wine?" ”
"This ...... Well...... this."
Powell's exaggerated smile froze suddenly, a little overwhelmed. However, he reacted very quickly, and he smiled again in the blink of an eye, "Hahaha, such a good wine is not easy to buy in your China, I brought it from the United States!" ”
Shen Yunhong frowned and stopped asking. He remembered very well that when he first searched Powell's luggage, he had never seen the bottle of wine at all.
During his long military career, Shen Yunhong was always on standby, so he stayed away from wine. coincided with a moment worth carnival, and outside of his duty period, even if he was drunk, no one would blame him, but he still refused, and said with an indifferent smile: "I am not a good winemaker, even if I drink the heavenly elixir and jade dew, I can't tell the quality from the inferior, if this is really good wine, don't waste it on me." You hide in the lab and drink, I won't mind. ”
"Hey, what's the point of drinking alone to the ceiling? Since you insist on not drinking, foreigners do not have the habit of you Chinese to persuade alcohol. Powell stuffed the bottle back into the drawer, and he didn't know whether it was excitement or nervousness, and fine beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Next, he briefly introduced the principle of this new invention to Shen Yunhong. However, invention in the popular sense refers to the establishment from scratch, and Powell's research is to change the structure of particles, to put it bluntly, it is to use a linear particle accelerator to synthesize the antimatter of electrons, a kind of particle that he calls adsorbed electrons, so it is better to describe it as innovative.
According to the special vacuum theory, vacuum refers to the state when Planck's constant tends to 0. The air in the glass tube is drained by an air pump, and the tube is at absolutely zero pressure.
However, the glass tube is not empty without any particles, in fact, it is filled with negative energy electrons that stop moving due to the lack of air and no longer emit electromagnetic waves.
In order for Shen Yunhong to understand, Powell made a vivid analogy: when a horse gallops on the grassland, no one has the ability to change the saddle for it. But when it stopped, even a man who couldn't even walk could easily unsaddle off his horse and put a new one on it. In the analysis of professional physical language, this is because there is a difference between the running speed of a person and the running speed of a horse, and if a person wants to catch up with a horse, he can only speed up to eliminate the difference, but can a two-legged person have this ability?
Powell is worthy of being a university professor, and he explains the knowledge points in a simple and easy way, even for a layman like Shen Yunhong, he can understand it effortlessly.
The electrons in the non-vacuum state are the horses that are galloping in the air in billions of dollars. Humans can't eliminate the speed difference with them, and even if they are caught and bottled, they won't be put into a state of stagnation.
Can be done with a vacuum tube. In the vacuum state, it is easy to obtain stationary electrons, so it is much easier to make a fuss about electrons at this time. For example, if you can have a pen that is small enough, and an artist who can see the surface of the electron with enough eyesight, and use a microscope to stretch the electrons to the size of a whole piece of rice paper, perhaps the artist can copy a picture of Xu Beihong's horse on it.
The resting state of electrons can be called the inert state, and when the inert electrons are obtained, they can enter the vacuum chamber to change their magnetic poles. This was a crucial, but extremely difficult step in the experiment, as Powell spent a year pacifying the electrons and forcing them into an inert state, but spent five full years altering their intrinsic magnetic poles to make them inversely metal-adsorption.
Let's talk about the part that needs electronic spy reconnaissance.
The main materials of the computer chips used by earthlings are silicon and metal aluminum, which are the raw materials of the semiconductor industry. And the chip taken from the resurrection's brain, which came from the dark star, according to Powell, took him a long time to test and determined that it was an extremely special metal material that had never existed on Earth - metallic hydrogen.
Metallic hydrogen is very light, almost comparable to hydrogen, and in the earthly environment, once taken out of the resurrected person's brain, it will turn into water like ice, but it does not have the cold of ice, because it is only neutralized with the oxygen in the air.
It is precisely because of the ultra-light mass of metallic hydrogen that the proton people can easily send chips to the earth, use this non-existent substance on the earth to recruit the resurrected, and then instruct the resurrected to work for them.
Without metallic hydrogen, Powell would not have been able to conduct experiments. The source of metal hydrogen he said to Shen Yunhong would not be suspicious of anyone who listened.
He had been carefully keeping a sample of solid metallic hydrogen in a vacuum flask, with circuit diagrams carved by the Proton Man on it. He rubbed the circuit diagram, and as for the metallic hydrogen material used to synthesize the circuit board, he had another use. It is said that this was the only time he succeeded in removing the chip from the brain of a dead resurrectee in a vacuum lab and keeping it from melting. Every time I want to use it, I can only place the vacuum bottle under the microscope with great cherishment, and use an electronic engraving knife to cut out a little bit and use it.
