Vol 2 Chapter 128: new material

"A brand-new ... matter cannot be called an element for the time being. Its density is extremely high, and its mass per cubic centimeter exceeds one thousand tons! Although this has not yet reached the level of neutron star matter, it is already equivalent to a white dwarf. "
Lin Linxi was very surprised, "How can it have such a high density without external pressure?"
"This is where we need to study. Maybe it's because their particles are very tiny, but more should be its internal composition and structure. Once we understand its internal structure and why it appears, it will be A landmark discovery. "
"If this research is successful, what does it mean for us?" Chu Jun asked.
Le Mans said: "The significance is very important, and it can even be compared with controlled nuclear fusion! In simple terms, normal high-density matter is not an element in our sense. They are generally formed when the life of a star is exhausted and it collapses under gravity. A star with a mass of a certain degree will form a white dwarf when it dies. And when a star is more massive and its gravitational force is greater than the electron degenerative pressure, the electrons in the atom will be compressed together to form a neutron star. We The crystals that we are facing now have unit masses more than ordinary white dwarfs. "
In the interstellar era, this is common knowledge that every student must learn in elementary school.
Le Mans continued: "What if we dig a small piece of material from the neutron star? What happens? It is simple, after losing the gravitational constraint, the material that makes up the neutron star will return to its original state and become various elements again. And at the same time release tremendous energy. "
"That is to say, the grains we saw should not have existed in the conventional gravitational environment, but they appear before us. If they become all kinds of basic elements again, the energy released will be far More than nuclear fusion. But I am not an expert in this field and cannot give an accurate answer. However, the first conclusion can already be drawn, that is, we will invent a new super weapon, the meaning is equivalent to the first Invented the atomic bomb. "
"What about the second conclusion?" Lin Xi asked.
"The second conclusion is that at least such substances can exist in a conventional gravitational environment, although we don't yet know how it does this. Maybe we can call it a miracle of the universe. But when their volume Add a little bit more, say a few cubic centimeters, or even bigger, and we get an unprecedented solid substance. With it, we can even land on the surface of the star. "
"Alternatively, we could use it to create a special warhead that would have unparalleled strike power without the armor of any main battleship. We could even imagine it a little bolder, if I said Suppose we create a warhead the size of an asteroid. Oh no, not so big, maybe 100 cubic meters is enough, and its mass will exceed 100 billion tons. Such an object will be directed at a planet and thrown down. It would cause severe damage to the entire planet. Is n’t that the annihilation weapon that we humans began to dream of 1500 years ago? "
"How difficult is it to achieve the technology?"
Le Mans said, "I'm not a physicist. I need to ask someone else."
Hathaway was a little curious and asked, "Are you not an expert in the field of electromagnetics? How can you be so proficient in biology? You know it by looking at the structure?"
Le Mans smiled a little awkwardly, saying, "My interest in alien biology has always been. However, experts in the field of electromagnetics are better employed, and in order to find work, I learned another electromagnetics."
There is no more reasonable reason, but Le Mans probably did not expect that the identity of an expert in electromagnetics would allow him to get a job on Planet Four. If he could predict, I'm afraid he would rather endure unemployment for a while.
"If I remember correctly, we now have two physicists and a materials scientist. Would you like to call them for a joint study?" Hathaway asked.
"Yes." Lin Xi nodded. Although Le Mans' discovery is significant, it is not the time to keep it secret. If super weapons can really be developed, then the significance of survival cannot be overstated.
A few moments later, several experts gathered in the conference room and looked at the research materials in their hands intently. Le Mans sat aside, looking a little nervous. Compared with these experts, he is an order of magnitude worse in both status and academic status. Of course, these researchers are not status persons in the Federation, otherwise they would not be assigned to the landing force.
A physicist finally raised his head and said, "For the current information, I have to say that the super weapon is very, very far away from us."
"How far is it?" Lin Xi asked.
"Just like we first saw Venus from our mother star, so far away from successfully landing on Venus."
Another physicist also said: "The first difficulty is what we need to do to understand the internal structure of these crystals. The second is how to destroy its stability and let it release energy. For example, this is like It ’s like digging a stone from a white dwarf. In the end, this is how we control this energy.

The former physicist knocked on the table subconsciously and said, "Anyway, we already have a natural sample, which is the most important thing. Just want to study it. Not only do we have no equipment at hand ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Just looking at the entire federation, there is no corresponding instrument. Everything must be designed and studied from scratch. "
After the physicists finished speaking, the material scientist said, "These samples are invaluable, but their value is not just for research. The samples themselves are extremely valuable. In fact, we only need to sell a few capsules, presumably Will be able to exchange back several advanced starships. "
Wu Chujungui feels that the material scientist also seems to be somewhat unworkable and more suitable to be a businessman.
I did not expect that Le Mans was very supportive of this approach. "The content of these grains in the two-leaf tree is not a lot, and the planet is full of two-leaf trees. We can indeed sell a little bit in units of grains. Wait until the research It's almost consumed, and then increase the supply. "
I was another traitor. Chu Jungui thought silently.
He Linxi directly refused, "These are strategic materials and must not be sold. In addition, the information about it must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be disclosed to anyone."
Le Mans and the materials scientist just spread their hands and did not object. Even if you want to sell now, there is no place to sell.
This is the end of the meeting, and it is still Le Mans' work: try to extract these grains separately.
Xi Chujun returned and left the conference room, and Le Mans caught up, and asked Ai Aidi some questions: "Well, what is the name of this new material?"
