Talk while eating.
Chewing the energy bar which was not very tasty, Chu An looked at Xuan Haicheng who looked nervous:
"Theoretically, Einstein condensates require extremely low temperatures to reduce the velocity of particles in matter to zero."
"Only in this way can the form be stabilized, condensed temporarily, and all states unified."
"At normal temperature or high temperature, the particles inside the substance will move at high speed. The higher the temperature, the faster they move. And the faster they move, the physical properties displayed by particles with different properties will become more active, causing "divergence" between them.
"."
"Just like steel melting into molten iron at high temperatures, excessively high temperatures will cause the molecular state inside the substance to change, making it impossible to maintain the original unified cohesion (integration)."
"To put it more simply, conversely, ice cubes need to stay in the refrigerator to ensure that the ice cubes remain ice cubes and will not melt into water."
"So, theoretically, it is impossible to produce an Einstein condensate at high temperatures. It's like ice cubes on a stove, there's no way it won't melt."
Explaining it carefully is like explaining it to Xuan Haicheng and others.
Looking at the half-understanding eyes, Chu An didn't care and turned to look at the middle-aged researcher who was most confused:
"Your question is correct, but we can actually think about it from another angle."
"First of all, the essence of Einstein's condensate is to stop the movement of molecules inside a substance and remain in a static state, not a low-temperature state."
"On this point, don't put the cart before the horse."
"You can only say that molecules can stop moving at low temperatures. But it doesn't mean that molecules can stop moving only at low temperatures!"
"It's just like going up a mountain. In the traditional thinking, if people want to go up a mountain, the most common way is to climb up with legs, but"
"Can't you go up a mountain without legs?"
"Not with your hands? Not with a helicopter? Not with a cable car?"
"You can even turn the mountain upside down and reach the top of the mountain standing still!"
After the words fell, the middle-aged researcher who had previously questioned was shocked, as if he had been enlightened, and instantly understood what Chu An wanted to say.
His eyes were dull, and he suddenly realized that his thinking was too limited by past experiences.
Yes, is it possible that molecules do not move only at low temperatures?
Among the physical properties that are somewhat similar to those of condensed matter, before superconductors first appeared, it was generally believed that it was impossible to superconduct at room temperature.
But in fact, with the deepening of research, people have discovered that superconducting can be achieved at room temperature under ultra-high pressure.
However, Chu An's words really impacted his outlook and somewhat broke his previous life experience.
Trembling slightly, he couldn't help but look at Chu An almost longingly:
"Then what did you discover? How did you do it!?"
For a researcher, there is nothing more desirable than knowing the answer to a question.
One person was standing and the other was sitting. Under the gaze of everyone, Chu An was silent for a moment and frowned slightly:
"Is what I said not clear enough?"
"I've mentioned before that there are many things we can't do at this stage, but that doesn't mean the system can't do it."
There was a slight hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in his tone.
Gao Tian, ​​who stood aside and didn't dare to miss a word, had a strange expression on his face. For some reason, he seemed to hear the meaning in Chu An's tone.
Why are you so stupid?
No one dared to refute.
Everyone blinked, but the middle-aged researcher who wanted to know the answer the most was a little at a loss and stammered like a student who had done something wrong:
"System!?"
"How does the system do it?"
Shaking his head slightly, Chu An did not show too much emotion and simply explained again:
"It's very simple."
"What Einstein condensates require is that the molecules inside the substance stop moving. To maintain the state, they need to stop moving."
"With our methods, we cannot achieve this. At best, we can only rely on ultra-low temperature to maintain it for a short period of time."
"But if you think about it from another angle, there is essentially no difference between the cessation of high-speed motion of molecules at high temperatures and the cessation of molecules at low temperatures."
"Both are the same, just like one person can maintain a speed of 100 meters per second, and the other can maintain a speed of 1 meter per second. As long as they can maintain the same speed, they can be uniformly described as "condensed matter."
"Condensed matter only needs a certain moment for all states to remain unified, which means that at high temperatures, there is always a moment when it is condensed matter."
"So, it doesn't matter whether it's high temperature or low temperature. What's important is how to lock in this state and maintain it continuously!"
While speaking, Chu An turned to look at the blue Xuan Haicheng composed of plasma:
"His current state is in an ionic state bombarded by high temperature, pressure and high energy, just like the water vapor that evaporates when boiling water. He is now the "frozen" water vapor."
After the words have fallen, give them time to think.
After listening to Chu An's explanation, the middle-aged researcher lowered his head and thought hard, frowning.
After a while, he slapped his thigh fiercely, his mouth trembling with excitement.
"Got it!"
"I understand!"
"The essence of condensed matter is the unity of internal molecules. It doesn't matter whether it is high or low temperature! Just like a car, it doesn't matter whether it is pulled by a horse or a thermal gas engine, as long as it can run! It's just that we can only drive at low temperatures (horse-drawn)
, you can’t drive at high temperatures (thermal gas engines)! That’s why you subconsciously think that only low temperatures can form condensed matter!”
"But, that's not the case!"
With hot eyes, he looked at the strange Xuan Haicheng floating in the air, which could even be called another kind of life form. The middle-aged researcher seemed to be looking at a miracle, and even wanted to reach out and touch it:
"Your Excellency Chu An, has his internal state been unified? He can store energy infinitely, and there will be no loss of energy flowing inside him. In fact, he is like a condensed matter. In theory, he can not interact with any outside world.
When matter collides, it can pass through walls!?"
Excitedly waiting for the answer.
"That's right."
Nodding calmly, Chu An looked at Xuan Haicheng as if he were looking at a satisfying work of art.
"The four internal forces are close to 0. When the molecules are at rest, they are like "nothingness" and can only be seen at the macroscopic level (reality, the scale visible to the human eye)."
Floating in mid-air, Xuan Haicheng listened to the discussion between the two and looked at his hands in confusion.
Although he didn't understand it very well, he also felt that he seemed to not exist, the gravity seemed to have lost its effect, and when he waved his hand, the air had no resistance.
It was difficult to understand each physical term. With reluctance, he opened his mouth uneasily:
"So, didn't I become a ghost?"
Listening to Xuan Haicheng's question, Chu An smiled and nodded slowly.
"Yes, and it is a very strong "ghost"."
An Jingtian and Gao Tian, ​​who were standing aside, couldn't help but look at Lan Xuanhaicheng beside them. A flash of enlightenment flashed in their eyes, as if they realized what Chu An wanted to do.
This pervert is constantly exploiting system "loopholes" to create all kinds of monsters!?
The conference room dispersed, leaving only Jingtian and others.
Under Chu An's patient explanation, the researchers at Long'an Base not only understood his train of thought, but also, inspired by this unbridled imagination, they returned to their posts enthusiastically. The change in train of thought was like opening another door.
It was quiet.
Sitting on the chair, Chu An looked at Gao Tian and others who still refused to leave, and asked casually:
"Why, do you have any more questions?"
As if he could guess what he was thinking, Gao Tian hesitated for a moment when he was asked. He opened his mouth and finally asked the last question.
"Colonel Chu, I didn't quite understand what you just said."
"But some understand."
