Chapter 523 We Need a More Powerful Collider

Let's get back to the point.

The collision experiment conducted by Liu Miyan's team did not have any accidents, but the lack of accidents was exactly what they least wanted to see, because that meant that they found nothing as usual.

"Old Liu, this is not a solution. It must be a problem that the collider's energy level is not up to standard. I think we should find a time to talk to the director-general. We need to build a more powerful collider." A scientist who participated in the experiment sighed.

Liu Miyan shook his head, "What's the point of looking for the director-general? The key is whether we have the technology to build a collider that meets the requirements, and even if we look for him, he will throw the matter to the meeting for a vote."

"That's what you say, but you can't get around him, right?"

"Okay, then don't go back to look for him, I'll go there now."

With that, Liu Miyan left everyone behind and headed for the entrance and exit door of the research ship, where there was a small transport ship used by the fleet to travel between the spacecraft.

As for finding Yue Yuan for feedback, Liu Miyan could actually connect directly through video. He had the authority to call Yue Yuan directly, but perhaps it was a habit of the Earth era, and he thought it would be better to talk about this matter in person.

The distance from the scientific research spacecraft to the Tianqin was not far. Liu Miyan boarded the flagship Tianqin in less than half an hour on the small transport ship. Because he had greeted Yue Yuan in advance through the communication system before departure, he knew where Yue Yuan was at the moment, so he went straight to the bridge when he got on the Tianqin.

The Tianqin was a huge ship. Its size was larger than that of ordinary sea-class ships, but the interior decoration was not much different from other warships. Liu Miyan had also worked on the Tianqin for a long time before, so even without relying on the automatic path finding of the brain chip, he could find the bridge by memory.

The bridge of the Tianqin, which is also the command center of the Tianqin, is very spacious. Excluding the space occupied by various machines, equipment, instruments, etc., the activity space is about half the size of a football field. There is a large projection screen in the middle, and then there are multifunctional seats for work positions.

Liu Miyan, who came to the bridge unimpeded, first glanced around. It was obvious that he was looking for Yue Yuan's location.

After seeing the familiar figure, he simply stopped walking. He used the guide rod to exert force with his arms and tiptoed to the tip of his toes, and then floated towards Yue Yuan.

He was blocked by the large screen in the middle and didn't see it. After his body floated halfway, Liu Miyan found that there was another person next to Yue Yuan.

"I'm here, Chief! Academician Yu Nanfeng is also here, that's perfect!" After turning on the magnetic boots, Liu Miyan floated down from mid-air.

Although he and Yu Nanfeng were not in the same department, they were old acquaintances.

At this moment, Yue Yuan was sitting face to face with Yu Nanfeng. There was a small round table in the middle, but there was nothing on it. On one side of the two was the porthole of the Tianqin. This position was very good, and they could talk while watching the universe outside the battleship.

"Well, sit down." Yue Yuan nodded at Liu Miyan.

As he spoke, the floor next to the small round table changed. The flat ground suddenly seemed to be penetrated by a mass of flowing mist, and then gathered together to form a gray sofa.

This is a simple application of nano-reconstruction technology, which is the leftover material of the manufacturing technology of Xiaohui. Liu Miyan is no longer surprised.

He immediately turned on the magnetic adsorption function of his clothes through his brain chip, allowing himself to stick to the raised gray steel sofa.

Sitting on the sofa in a weightless environment is completely unnecessary. Liu Miyan doesn't like it, but Yue Yuan and Yu Nanfeng are sitting, so he can't stand and talk.

"General, if we want to observe the unification of strong nuclear force and weak electric force, theoretically we must have an energy level of at least 10 to the 15th power GeV, otherwise we can't explore what the electric nuclear force is, and there is no way to talk about the grand unification, so we need a more powerful particle collider." Liu Miyan said straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

GeV means billion electron volts.

At present, human colliders are still far from this energy level. When building this multi-point particle multi-installation in space, relevant experts have calculated that in order to make the collider reach the standard of studying the grand unified theory, the collider must be built to at least one trillion kilometers in length.

What is the concept of one trillion kilometers? Converted into astronomical units, it is 6684.6 astronomical units, which is 6684.6 times the quiet distance from the sun to the earth.

This is a plan designed according to the plan of the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

If the current physical theory of mankind is correct, it is like this.

As early as the Earth era, mankind successfully verified the electroweak theory at an energy of 100GeV and successfully unified the electromagnetic force and the weak electric force.

In this theoretical model, the next step is to explore the unification of strong nuclear force and electroweak force at an energy of 10 to the 15th power GeV, that is, to incorporate the strong force into this model for unification. This is the grand unified theoretical model.

Of course, these values ​​are the results calculated by humans based on the theory of the standard model of particle physics. The subsequent development of the specific grand unified theory, what the mathematical formula is, what the physical process is, etc., must be found from experimental observation data.

Without the scientific summary of experimental data, no one can come up with a formula.

So now Liu Miyan said this, but in fact it is just one sentence. If you want to have real data to study the grand unified model and master the real grand unified theory, you must first have the corresponding observation means.

"I'm sorry to tell you, Lao Liu, we can't build a collider of that energy level." Yu Nanfeng shook his head. After hearing Liu Miyan's words, he said this without any hesitation.

Liu Miyan frowned and looked at Yue Yuan.

"I called Academician Yu Nanfeng here for this matter. Before you came, we had already discussed this aspect. He is right. With our current technical level, we can't build such a collider."

Yue Yuan took a deep breath. He knew the difficulties faced by theoretical physicists and experimental physicists, but what could he do?

Yu Nanfeng is not an ordinary academician. He is an academician who is good at engineering. He has the most say in how strong human manufacturing technology is and what level of creation can be made. If he says it can't be made, then it is very likely that it can't be made.

"I say, Lao Liu, our standard model and grand unified theory can't be wrong. It stands to reason that our human civilization has reached the peak of the third-level civilization at this moment. After all, true nanotechnology can no longer go deeper into the microscopic level. With such technology, we still can't build a collider with the corresponding energy level in the theory. Isn't this going back to the old ways?" Yu Nanfeng looked at Liu Miyan, who looked unhappy, and said what he had been holding back for a long time.

"It must be right, otherwise we can't complete the unification of electromagnetic force and weak interaction force." Liu Miyan said firmly, then he thought about it and added: "At least it's right in terms of reasoning logic."

At the beginning, 'Silver Mist' told humans that the grand unified theory is electromagnetic force, weak interaction force, strong interaction force, and gravity. The complete unification of the four forces is the grand unification, but later human scientists discovered that this statement was either 'Silver Mist' deliberately misleading humans, just like it told humans that the propulsion technology of the third-level civilization was achieved through heavy nuclear fusion and charged antiparticles. Or 'Silver Mist' didn't understand it.

In fact, the unification of the four forces is already a super grand unified theory, or the theory of everything.
