Chapter 190 Start verification! Coverage proof problem.

"There is a difference between splitting an atomic nucleus and reverse nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Such reactions do not exist in existing physical systems."

"The accurate description should be 'nuclear saturation fission'."

"The entire fission process involves the separation of protons and neutrons, and the escape of particles..."

Zhang Shuo explained in detail.

Nuclear fusion is a thermonuclear reaction in which two lighter nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus and an extremely light nucleus.

The atomic nucleus with smaller mass mainly refers to "deuterium". Under extremely special ultra-high temperature and high pressure environment, the electrons outside the nucleus can break free from the constraints of the nucleus. The two atomic nuclei are attracted to each other and collide with each other, and the atomic nuclei aggregate with each other to generate a heavier atomic nucleus, which generally refers to "helium".

During the entire reaction, neutrons can escape from the constraints of the nucleus and be released during the collision.

The release of neutrons and electrons generates huge amounts of energy.

Reverse nuclear fusion, that is, reversing the reaction, naturally means that heavy nuclei will split into light nuclei, but even the "heavy nuclei" refer to "lighter nuclei", unlike nuclear fission, where the reactions occur in real "heavy nuclei", such as uranium, thorium, plutonium, etc.

Whether it is nuclear fusion or nuclear fission, the reaction process requires particle collisions and neutron bombardment to change the atomic nucleus, thereby reacting and releasing energy.

The reaction phenomenon described by Zhang Shuo is fundamentally different from conventional nuclear reactions. It is driven by the commonality of forces, which causes the atomic nucleus to undergo "saturated disintegration" and disperse into individual protons and neutrons.

During the entire process, no atomic nuclei need to collide or neutron bombardment occurs.

That's the difference.

Under extremely special circumstances, the electromagnetic force and the strong force between protons and neutrons have some commonality, which changes the strong force between protons and neutrons, causing chaos in the force field inside the nucleus, thereby causing the disintegration of the nucleus.

If a heavy nucleus reacts, it can theoretically disperse into dozens of protons and dozens of neutrons.

This saturated fission will naturally release huge amounts of energy.

"Under what conditions the atomic nucleus splits, to what extent it splits, how many particles are produced, and how much energy is released, all require theoretical and experimental research."

Zhang Shuo finished his introduction, "Each element is different, and their commonality lies only in the connection between electromagnetic force and strong force."

"I have done some theoretical research, but follow-up research still requires experimental support."

"The information I submitted is about the splitting of three-quark particles. It is more detailed and is the basis for research in this direction, but it is not easy to conduct experimental verification..."

Zhang Shuo said and shook his head.

The information he submitted was already very detailed and could be verified experimentally, but it would be too difficult to actually verify it, as it would be difficult to apply for high funding for theoretical verification alone.

Therefore, he still focused on the research of the relationship model between electromagnetic force and gravity. The research in this direction was more in-depth, and he also knew how to conduct experiments to perform solution analysis.

As long as we carry out research step by step, we will see the day of verification in the future.

By then, perhaps there will be technology transformation.

It is not just a technology, it can also make the theory accepted by the whole world and allow the origin theory to flourish.

“New theories and new technologies may change the world?”

Zhang Shuo became even more excited as he thought about it.

Tong Zhiguo obviously didn't care about the relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity. After learning that the theory was imperfect, his focus returned to the "strong force splitting". He asked, "Do you have confidence in the theory?"

"of course."

Zhang Shuo said confidently, "I am very confident in every research I do, so I will go deeper and deeper into my research."

"If you want to verify the 'strong splitting' theory, how do you think you should conduct the experiment?" Tong Zhiguo continued to ask.

Zhang Shuo said, "The information I posted is very detailed and includes some speculative experimental data. However, such an experiment would explode if it succeeded, and the investment is very high."

He kept shaking his head and smiled bitterly, "For the time being, I can't count on the strong splitting verification. I think the safer experiment is still the research on electromagnetic force and gravity..."

Although he is more optimistic about the research on the relationship between electromagnetism and gravity, Zhang Shuo still talked about many problems with the strong force splitting experiment.

He spoke in great detail and expressed his understanding.

Zhang Shuo said more because he thought the other party was interested. He still hoped that his theory could be recognized by more people.

……

Tong Zhiguo went to the Science and Technology Engineering Bureau with a stack of important documents and a serious look on his face.

He came to give a report to Teacher Li.

During the report, he simply elaborated on what Zhang Shuo said without adding his own thoughts.

In fact, after Tong Zhiguo and Zhang Shuo talked, they felt shocked by the theoretical content and gained a deeper understanding of the "basic force relationship model" and its subsequent research.

However, it is impossible to judge whether a theory is true.

There are many theories in the world that sound very credible and have a certain mathematical basis, but most of them are just mathematics and have nothing to do with real physics, or they cannot be verified at all.

The 'basic force relationship model', also known as the source point theory, is a brand-new theory developed by Zhang Shuo, based on the 'energy force field gauge theory' of particle collision experiments, which seems to be the basis for Zhang Shuo's 'search' for the theory.

The reason for this is that the 'basic force relationship model' was published first, and the 'energy force field gauge theory' was developed later.

Because of this, more scholars adopt a neutral and spectator attitude towards the source point theory.

I don't say whether I support it or not, I just look at the mathematical content.

After Tong Zhiguo talked with Zhang Shuo, he felt that his theory was very powerful, but he couldn't make up his mind whether to believe it or not.

So he just made a neutral report.

As for whether to conduct subsequent experimental verification, the decision still needs to be made by big figures like Teacher Li.

"Zhang Shuo is very confident, right?" Teacher Li asked directly after listening to the report.

"Correct."

Tong Zhiguo thinks this is not a problem at all. "Every scholar is very confident in his or her own research, otherwise they would not continue."

Teacher Li nodded gently, "Your nuclear institute's tokamak device is also going to be abandoned, right?"

"should be."

Tong Zhiguo is still a little uncertain, but the Tokamak device is indeed not in use and has only been undergoing maintenance in recent years.

"In that case, let's prepare for the experiment."

Teacher Li looked at Tong Zhiguo solemnly and said seriously, "Academician Tong, this important task is left to you and your team. You must treat it as a major project and ensure that the experiment is rigorous and standardized. Also, you must pay attention to safety issues."

"The Institute of Science and Engineering will fully support your work..."

Teacher Li explained some questions seriously. Tong Zhiguo also accepted the task seriously. He got special approval from the Institute of Science and Engineering and returned to the Institute of Nuclear Physics with a team of people, and then went to the experimental base with the Tokamak spiral magnetic field device.

The Institute of Nuclear Physics' small tokamak spiral magnetic field device was developed by a team led by Academician Tang Hua 20 years ago. After its development, the device was only ignited a few times and recorded data.

Afterwards, I never used it again.

Although the device has been under maintenance, everyone at the experimental base knows that the device will be dismantled and discarded in a few years.

This is like the idle electrical appliances at home. You don’t use them in your daily life, but it feels a pity to throw them away, so they can only remain idle. But sooner or later they will be thrown away or sold as scrap.

Tong Zhiguo came to the experimental base and informed Academician Tang Hua in advance.

Tang Hua is already over 60 years old and works in an experimental facility a hundred kilometers away. He provided Tong Zhiguo with a detailed structural diagram and said reluctantly, "Do you really want to dismantle the device?"

"Of course."

"Is it going to be abandoned? There's no need to dismantle it now, right? This device can still function..."

The small tokamak spiral magnetic field device is the youth and hard work of Academician Tang Hua. He knows that it will be abandoned sooner or later, but he still feels complicated when he learns that it will be dismantled.

Tong Zhiguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Academician Tang, we are going to conduct research in another place."

"Research?"

Tang Hua was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly, "Are you going to use the device to do experiments?"

Tong Zhiguo nodded and said, "What I can tell you is that we will use the device to conduct experiments, but we also need to make certain modifications to the device. I can't tell you anything else. Academician Tang, don't ask."

"understand."

Tang Hua is also a researcher at the Institute of Nuclear Physics. He naturally knows that confidential research cannot be inquired about casually.

Now that he knows the device will be moved and the experiment will continue, he feels very excited. What else can the Tokamak spiral magnetic field device be used for? Of course, it is used to study nuclear fusion.

As for the equipment to be modified...

Of course!
This device was developed more than 20 years ago, and many of its technologies are now outdated, so upgrading and replacing it is natural.

The only thing Tang Hua couldn't understand was why they had to relocate to conduct research related to nuclear fusion?

The current base is great!
In fact, the reason for the relocation is "worry about the success of the experiment". If the experiment is successful, there will be a big explosion.

This kind of research certainly cannot be conducted in an experimental base. It is best to do it in a place where there are no people within dozens or hundreds of kilometers around, so that even if a big explosion occurs, it will not have any impact.

Tong Zhiguo still has expectations for this.

Everyone hopes that their research will be successful, even if they just accept a task to verify a theory. Even if they are not optimistic about it at first, when they receive the task, they will hope that the theory is correct.

……

Zhang Shuo didn't know that Tong Zhiguo was leading a team to prepare experiments to verify the "strong splitting" theory.

He didn't even think about it.

The verification environment required for strong splitting is too harsh. The first thing to consider is the control of strong magnetic fields, which requires applying for a lot of funds, and the final result is a big explosion.

How could such a theoretical verification project possibly pass?
Zhang Shuo still leads a regular scientific research life, and his main focus is still on the analysis of theoretical correlation models of electromagnetic force and gravity.

The demonstration of the NS equation is also in progress.

This direction is mainly led by Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua, who will work together on the subsequent "infinite numerical proof", but the first thing to solve is the proof of finite boundary values.

During the research process, Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua encountered a problem, which lay in the direction of the argumentation.

The justification of special values ​​based on the original research foundation, for example, the justification of a fixed boundary value area, has been almost completed, and methods can be found for the justification of each position.

Of course each one still requires specific research, but in general there are no problems.

Now the question is how to cover the whole.

For example, when arguing the numbers from 0 to 10000, a specific argument can be made for each natural number. However, there are decimals between the natural numbers, and there are infinite decimals. How can we cover the scope of the argument to all numbers from 0 to 10000?
This is the problem encountered in the research.

"We have been stuck at this location for half a month, right?" Luo Yongjun said, "We still can't think of a way to use specific values ​​to prove each specific location."

“If it’s not a specific value, and we want to prove a large range, where do we start?”

"We need to think about this carefully..."

Li Weihua also had a headache.

Mathematical research is like this; when you reach a certain level, you will always encounter some difficult problems.

Li Weihua and Luo Yongjun racked their brains together, hoping to solve the problem, but no matter how they discussed it or how much information they read, they could not find a solution.

in the office.

The two of them pondered together, and later even had an argument over a research question, but the argument came to no avail.

Li Liu Shuangyue came to see Luo Yongjun and also sat in the office for a while.

After hearing their discussion, she made a suggestion, "Why don't we let Professor Zhang Shuo take a look? Maybe Professor Zhang Shuo has a solution."

Li Weihua immediately shook his head, "We did some research before, and Zhang Shuo should have seen it."

"This is a very difficult question, it's a question of direction. We have come this far in our discussion, and all we can say is that we should all work together to find a solution."

"We can discuss and analyze it together, but even Zhang Shuo can't come up with a solution right away..."

He said this and shook his head.

Luo Yongjun disagreed. "I don't think so. Ask Zhang Shuo. Maybe he has a solution."

"How can this be!"

Li Weihua found it a little funny. "We have been studying together for so long and still can't find a solution, but Zhang Shuo can come up with a solution just by taking a look? This is too exaggerated."

"Is there anything exaggerated?"

Luo Yongjun patted his chest proudly and said, "Don't you even look at whose student you are!"

Li Weihua suddenly found it even funnier. "If you hadn't said that, I would still have some confidence. Now that you put it that way..."

"Your students, yes. And, you can't figure it out so you ask the students?"

"This is the first time I've noticed how shameless you are..."
