Liu Qingzhi was injured.
In fact, I just sprained my right leg and hit my butt on a stone. I grinned in pain for a while, but it got better after a while.
His psychological stimulation was even more serious.
At the moment of the explosion, he thought of the internationally renowned physicist Prior Brown who had sacrificed his life for F-ray research.
Prior Brown has been dubbed the word "great" and may also be written into history textbooks and become an important figure recorded in history.
But no one wants to be Player Brown.
The hero, after all, has died.
Liu Qingzhi didn't want to either.
He encountered a similar situation to Prior. He conducted an experiment involving a strong annihilation field and a nuclear reactor. As a result, an explosion occurred directly inside the field.
Likewise, he, like Prior, is the 'nearest person'.
The moment the explosion occurred, Liu Qingzhi only had Prier's name in his mind, and then he fell down from fright.
"Bang~~"
The result was no follow-up.
After everyone in the laboratory calmed down, Liu Qingzhi felt a little embarrassed, because no one else was affected, and the staff calmly shut down the equipment.
Explosion, it's over.
He was the only one in the audience who fell to the ground.
Liu Qingzhi patted his chest hard and stood up from the ground with a grin on his face.
During the inspection, he felt that he had indeed overreacted. After all, the uranium content in the material was only 0.1%.
This content is really too low, too low.
Even if all the oil reacted, it would be equivalent to... 20 tons of TNT? He counted it again with his fingers. The total material in the experiment was one kilogram, and the uranium content was 0.1%, which is exactly one gram of uranium.
One gram of uranium undergoes fission...
Equivalent to 20 tons of TNT!
"It's still scary!"
"No, if there is another experiment, it must not be 0.1%, it must be 0.0001%, and then reduce it by 1,000 times, which is equivalent to 20 kilograms of TNT..."
"It's safer!"
"Otherwise you won't be so lucky next time!"
…
The data calculated by Liu Qingzhi are indeed terrifying.
But in fact, under a strong annihilation force field with three times the strength, it is impossible for uranium to completely fission, and it is even said that only a very small part undergoes fission.
When he came back from the infirmary, everyone was talking about the on-site survey data, "The explosion was approximately equivalent to thirty kilograms of TNT."
"If it were all fission reactions, about 0.15% of the uranium elements would undergo instant fission."
"The equipment was shut down after that. We don't know whether a large amount of uranium elements will still fission if the field force continues."
The nuclear physics expert continued, "The abundance of the material is extremely low, only 0.1%. Under the interference of a large number of impurities, forced fission due to neutron impact cannot occur under normal circumstances, so we can judge to a certain extent that the reaction is
Due to the influence of field forces.”
"Of course, the specific data still needs follow-up inspection..."
After hearing this, Wang Hao nodded and greeted Liu Qingzhi, who had just arrived, "Professor Liu, how are you doing?"
"It's just a sprained foot."
Liu Qingzhi said nonchalantly, "The medical office said it will be fine in two days."
"I still need to do a comprehensive checkup when I get back."
Wang Hao nodded and motioned Liu Qingzhi to sit down, and then said, "We were careless in this experiment. We did not expect that an explosion would occur quickly."
"I personally believe that the explosion is not just a nuclear fission reaction, but may also include some other phenomena."
Some other phenomena naturally refer to neutron annihilation.
"Of course, as Professor Zhu said just now, the specific data still needs to be tested later. The explosion is not serious and is limited to the inside of the device."
"But if the experiment is carried out again, the risk will be very high."
He said and shook his head.
The explosive yield of 20 kilograms of TNT is relatively terrifying. If the intensity were higher, it might blow up the outer protective layer and affect the equipment.
If the explosion yield exceeds 100 kilograms of TNT, there will definitely be casualties.
Although the explosion did not cause direct damage, many people still experienced tinnitus. After all, it was an experiment in a cave, so the impact was still huge.
Others were equally frightened.
After a summary and analysis, they knew how dangerous it was. Without being sure of the relationship between the annihilation force field strength and the fission ratio, they rashly conducted the experiment.
If the strength of the annihilation force field were higher, it might have been a very serious accident.
Wang Hao continued, "The experiment can be suspended, but we still need to conduct detailed testing, including the fission ratio of the uranium rod, including the explosion energy intensity, etc."
"This data must be collected."
He was referring to performing energy difference detection.
If the ratio between explosion energy and fission does not correspond, it means that there is excess energy, that is, the phenomenon of annihilation neutrons exists.
The latter has already been determined, but needs support from experimental data.
However, Wang Hao doesn't hold out much hope, because he can only calculate approximate data through testing, and the deviation in the middle must be large, and the results may not be able to be analyzed.
After the experiment, another two days of on-site survey, data collection and other work were carried out.
Wang Hao took the research team back.
While on the road, he said he wanted to apply for a new project, "We want to apply for a real particle annihilation experiment."
"Isn't it now?" He Yi asked puzzledly.
"Placing nuclear materials in a strong annihilation force field is still too dangerous, and detailed data cannot be detected." Wang Hao said, "We need to design new devices, for example, to separate the nuclear reactor from the strong annihilation force field, and then
Control the release of high-energy neutrons into the extremely strong annihilation force field."
"In this way, there are only high-energy neutrons in the field force, and the phenomenon of particle annihilation can be discovered."
He Yi thought about it and continued to ask, "Why don't we cooperate with the Institute of High Energy in this kind of research? They can directly create high-energy neutron beams."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Hao smiled and said, "Don't you think this is a very powerful energy technology?"
"ah?"
Others were a little confused when they heard it.
Paul Phil-Jones, Chen Mengmeng and others all looked over.
Wang Hao explained, "Just like the antimatter propaganda from Amrican, only a very small amount of antimatter can produce a large amount of energy."
"We did not create antimatter, but particle annihilation and antimatter cancellation have the same result, which is the release of a large amount of energy."
"This is many, many times higher than the energy released by nuclear fusion."
"Think about it..."
"This is pure matter converted into energy!"
He continued very seriously, "If we can complete the experiment, we can create a new energy manufacturing method based on nuclear reactors and weakened annihilation force fields. The efficiency will be many times that of nuclear fusion, and it will be relatively simpler to manufacture.
What comes out is still pure energy.”
"This may be more promising than nuclear fusion..."
He Yi was stunned.
Others were also stunned.
Paul Phil-Jones suddenly said, "If the phenomenon of annihilation particles can be discovered, it is theoretically feasible. However, nuclear fusion is already the reaction principle at the center of stars, so particle annihilation..."
