Chapter 522 Collision Experiment During Navigation

Because of the greatly improved lifespan, during the hundreds of years of sailing, humans did not hibernate collectively as before. Most civilians lived normally in their spaceships, and the same was true for people from all walks of life.

Hundreds of years have also allowed the measures previously formulated to be fully implemented. Although the population growth rate is very slow due to the life potion, there have been considerable achievements in other aspects.

For example, in the field of nanotechnology, humans have the ability to create nanorobots like Silver Mist. During this period, humans upgraded Xiao Hui with such technology, which increased the resource collection capacity of humans by more than ten times.

The social level has also shown a healthy development trend due to the emergence of new regulations.

It can be said that the situation is very good. Except for the lack of so-called relics, human civilization has developed to a peak state. All nano technologies have been fully developed in the past hundreds of years, and people's daily lives are full of nano products.

They are real nano products, not the kind of gimmicks made in the Earth era.

Nano vehicles, nano phones, nano daily necessities, etc. are all nano products based on nano structure remodeling like Xiao Hui. They are nano products that can truly be gathered from cloud-like materials into individual tools.

Today's nano technology has truly become a part of people's lives.

Of course, not everything can be manufactured in this way by nano structure remodeling, such as scientific research equipment and heavy industry equipment. The reason is that they have special components, and the parameters of special components have their own various requirements, such as hardness, corrosion resistance, radiation protection, anti-magnetic, magnetic flux, conductivity, etc.

But that's all. After hundreds of years of development, scientists have found that humans seem to have encountered bottlenecks or technical barriers in the field of nano technology.

The ability to create nano robots like Silver Mist has reached its limit. If you want to continue to move forward to the microscopic level, it involves the uncertainty principle. Although humans have some research in this area, it is obviously only some preliminary theoretical research.

"In fact, people outside the industry don't know that our basic physics has been stagnant for a long time, especially in experimental physics. There has been no progress in the past two hundred years. It seems that many related products have appeared in recent years, and it seems that our entire civilization is constantly progressing, but in fact it is just an extension and expansion of the field of true nanotechnology."

A voice sounded on a sea-class scientific research ship, which is also one of the branches of the Institute of Human Physics.

The sea-class spacecraft is very large, with a length of 10 kilometers, a width of about 6 kilometers, and a height of 4.5~5 kilometers, so its interior is very wide, with simulated projected sky, some plants planted on the roadside, and the main working area has a sky curtain simulating the sun rising and setting in the east and west, as well as various types of buildings like a city.

These buildings are particularly obvious on the residential spacecraft, with obvious architectural features of the Earth era. Of course, it is just like, and there is still a big difference from the architectural model of the Earth era, after all, it is on a residential spacecraft.

They cannot rise from the ground like on the ground, but more like pillars, or buildings embedded in the hull structure. Needless to say, such a design is definitely to adapt to the acceleration and deceleration of the spacecraft.

If it weren't for the weightless environment, people working and living on it wouldn't even feel like they were on a spacecraft.

"Yeah, I don't think we need to do any more collision experiments next. Our space multi-point particle collider can't reach that energy level at all. No matter how many collision experiments we do, there will be no results." Another voice echoed.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Miyan, the leading scientist of this project, couldn't stand it anymore: "What do you mean by no need to do it? Since the experiment has started according to the project plan, let's finish it. It's not a good habit to give up halfway. Come on, record it, adjust the equipment according to the parameters, and prepare for the 183,377th collision experiment

This time, increase the intensity a little, let the collider collide at an overclocked 10% power, um. The failure to capture abnormal phenomena may also be due to the cloud chamber problem. Adjust the parameters of the experimental detector according to this parameter."

Yes, the scientific team headed by Liu Miyan is doing collision experiments, but the human fleet is not anchored in a certain star system at the moment, but sailing between stars. That's right, it is sailing between stars, doing collision experiments while sailing.

In the process of searching for the so-called remains of civilization, human scientific experiments have actually been ongoing, including collision experiments. After the fleet completed relative acceleration, scientists assembled the space multi-point collider and then conducted various collision experiments.

The stars in this star field are very sparse and the distance between them is very large. It takes 34 years to travel from one star to another, and this time cannot be wasted.

Therefore, the space particle collider will be assembled during each voyage.

Those who know a little about relativity know that the clock slowness and ruler contraction effect is actually the acceleration and deceleration stage, that is, the time period when the fleet has a large acceleration. After completing the acceleration, the uniform speed navigation stage of the fleet is actually no different from being stationary.

You should know that the stationary that people usually talk about is not just stationary relative to the earth.

Although the fleet is sailing at 50% of the speed of light relative to the star from where it departs during the voyage, for the fleet itself, it is actually stationary.

For the universe itself, it doesn’t matter whether you are stationary relative to a planet or star, or moving at a constant speed, and it will not affect the particle collision experiment.

Because the speed of light is constant.

From this perspective, the human fleet that uses magnetic propulsion technology to propel spacecraft forward can continue to accelerate to the speed of light relative to the starting star. This is theoretically feasible. After all, magnetic propulsion technology is fundamentally like "stepping on the left foot with the right foot" and stepping on the "relay point" that appears behind to move forward, but it is not possible in reality.

The reason is that the energy level is not enough, and the energy level mastered by humans is not enough.

Magnetic propulsion is a navigation technology, and its energy source is still cold and hot nuclear fusion. Humans just use this energy more efficiently, and there is still a problem of thrust-to-weight ratio.

In fact, it is possible to continue to accelerate, but if you want to stop at that time, you will not have enough energy to slow down. If you want more energy, you have to put more fuel on the spacecraft, which will make the spacecraft heavier. The heavier the spacecraft is, the more energy it consumes to accelerate and decelerate.

This is obviously unsolvable. The volume of the sea-class spacecraft is the optimal solution obtained after calculation, unless you keep accelerating. But even if you don't consider stopping and keep accelerating, you can't reach the speed of light relative to the starting point. It is still the same problem limitation.

This problem is very interesting. After the emergence of magnetic propulsion technology, some interested people have calculated it. The result is: if you want to accelerate a mass object to the speed of light, you must turn the entire system where the object is located into energy to provide it with power, but at this time, the mass of the object has also become zero.

In other words, you have to become light.
