Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 310 New discovery: Unstable gravity values!
Yao Qiming's life is not just beginning, it is just continuing...

He had another experiment to do.

The documents Zhang Shuo handed over to him were to restart the gravity creation experiment. The experimental plan had changed, mainly in terms of the media materials.

Gravitational manufacturing is the process of creating a gravitational field in a specific area at a specific point (magnetic field strength, particle characteristics, movement speed, etc.) under a strong magnetic environment by rapidly moving the ions of the medium material.

The change in media materials is mainly that instead of using a single element, other elements are added.

In the first experiment, the element added was tritium.

The element tritium has a certain degree of radioactivity, so the experiment still has radioactive risks, and the experimental preparation has also become much more complicated.

Another risk lies in the uncertainty of new physics research. Research on the unknown always carries risks, just like the transformation of strong forces at special points in the chaotic force field, causing the nuclear forces of the elements covered by the field to split.

Gravitational experiments may also pose similar risks.

New experiments are always accompanied by uncertain risks, and the core of the experiment is aimed at "detecting the characteristics of weak force."

Chaos force field experiments have proved that under strong electromagnetic interference conditions, the radioactivity of tritium decay will affect the transformation of the chaotic force field, and the essence of the influence is the interference effect of weak force on the transformation of the chaotic force field.

Now it’s just a matter of seeing whether the weak force will have an impact on the effects of gravity.

In the gravity manufacturing experiment, the impact of tritium decay will be very intuitive and will directly affect the effect of gravity manufacturing. There is no need to do complicated analysis, as it can be seen from the numerical values.

Experiments and chaos field research are also different.

Electromagnetic intensity is one of them, and it is also a direct influence. The effect of strong electromagnetic on tritium decay will be different depending on the electromagnetic intensity.

The difference in the environment in which tritium is located is not just the electromagnetic environment. In the chaotic force field experiment, the movement of hyperons is much faster than the gravity-making medium material lithium ions, and it itself has the characteristics of decay.

Lithium ions are stable elements and do not decay.

Electromagnetic interference hyperon decay can create a chaotic force field, and the transformation of the chaotic force field into a strong force in a specific numerical range is a process that can only be analyzed through experimental data.

Gravity makes the difference, and the transformation is instantaneous.

There is a big difference between the two, and the experimental results are bound to be different.

Zhang Shuo was very much looking forward to this, and he even set up a task.

【Task 2】

[Research project name: The impact of tritium on gravity manufacturing technology (difficulty assessment: B). ]

[Progress: 0.474%]

[The task can be canceled. Currently, the number of scientific research coins required to cancel the task is 0. ]

[The remaining progress requires 600 scientific research coins. ]

Level B tasks require 600 scientific research coins, which is still very difficult.

Research mainly relies on experiments rather than theoretical analysis. Pure experimental tasks, like technical research, are relatively easier.

As long as the experiment goes in the right direction, there will definitely be new discoveries. Then, by conducting research based on the new discoveries and redesigning new experiments, the task will naturally progress.

After establishing the task, Zhang Shuo also began to prepare for the experiment.

……

The experimental team of the Source Point Theory Research Center is no longer what it used to be.

When Zhang Shuo first started studying gravity, he applied for the project based on the Electromagnetic Laboratory, and later higher authorities provided support to many experimental personnel.

Including Xue Bokun and Wang Qiang, they all came to Soochow University at that time.

Later they followed into the research center.

Currently, the research center is still mainly focused on theory, but the experimental team is also very large. There are more than a dozen researchers in the experimental direction, plus associate researchers, engineers, etc., a total team of more than fifty people.

After Yao Qiming started preparing for the experiment, his first task was to gather people.

The experiment assigned by Zhang Shuo, which was to restart the research on gravity, was naturally very attractive. Everyone wanted to join, and finally a team of thirty people was selected.

Xue Baikun and Wang Qiang are among them.

Several people from the Theoretical Office, including Guo Hua and Liu Mingkun, also participated in the work.

At the same time, there are several newcomers.

For example, Xu Bin and Sheng Baolai, they are the people who joined the research center later.

Xu Bin graduated from Harbin University of Technology and specializes in studying the properties of ionic matter. He can help study and control high-temperature ionic lithium and tritium.

Sheng Baolai comes from the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences and has worked in the Key Laboratory of Superconductivity. He has a very deep understanding of superconducting technology and is responsible for superconducting electromagnetic equipment and technology in experiments.

The experimental preparation work was carried out in an orderly manner.

During the preparation process, basic measurements in two directions are required. One is the measurement of the operation of tritium in a ring pipe under a strong magnetic environment.

Similar experimental measurements must also be made in hybrid field experiments. Due to different electromagnetic intensities and operating environments, the operation of high-temperature ionized tritium elements must be remeasured.

The second is to detect the state of the mixture of high-temperature lithium ions and tritium elements.

It is also a basic measurement, which studies whether the decay of tritium will have an impact on the overall situation at a specific temperature.

These preparations are mainly to eliminate the impact.

The biggest problem with the experiment is that tritium has a certain degree of radioactivity, which is harmful. Isolating the radioactivity so that it does not affect the laboratory environment or the health of the experimenters is a very tedious and important task.

Everyone takes their work very seriously.

At the same time, I am also looking forward to it.

The last gravity experiment was conducted several years ago. At that time, the Source Point Theory Research Center had not yet been built, and it has become a memory in the minds of many participants.

It is because of such research that we have the gravity technology that is influencing the world today.

If we restart the experiment now, will there be any new discoveries? Will new technologies be developed?
Yao Qiming was also looking forward to it very much and was also very excited. He told Qiu Zhichao, "Life has just begun," and he was genuinely excited.

In the past two years, his life can be described as "muddling through".

As the experimental director of the Source Point Theory Research Center, with no major projects on hand, he felt that his life had ended early.

However, he and Qiu Zhichao have different views on scientific research capabilities.

Qiu Zhichao believes that he is much better than Yao Qiming because he is doing cutting-edge research in quantum computing and has several million-dollar projects on hand.

Yao Qiming is the director of the Electromagnetism Laboratory. He does not have many projects on hand. His main job is to maintain the laboratory and ensure the school's teaching work.

In this comparison, Qiu Zhichao's scientific research level is indeed stronger.

Yao Qiming believes that scientific research level cannot be measured by projects because the two people are in different fields and his main research field is electromagnetic physics.

Relying on the research of electromagnetic physics, it is already remarkable to be promoted to the third-level researcher.

Electromagnetic physics is not a new field, nor is it an internationally cutting-edge scientific research field. Instead, it is a subject that has been thoroughly studied and has little innovative scientific research.

For this discipline, the scientific research environment required to conduct large-scale research is too harsh.

For example, superconductivity.

For example, research on creating extremely strong electromagnetic fields.

and many more.

The environment required for scientific research is harsh. If you want to join in large-scale research projects, you can only go to a strong scientific research institution.

Therefore, the lack of big projects is not due to a gap in scientific research capabilities, but a problem in the research field.

Now that there is a new experiment, Yao Qiming also hopes to prove himself. He has to arrange all matters and ensure that every work goes well. At the same time, he also has to put forward his own experimental suggestions to assist Zhang Shuo in achieving the experimental goals.

These tasks sound easy, but in fact, you must understand all aspects of the experiment, understand the principles of each part, and deal with many tedious matters, including personnel, work allocation, institutional contacts, etc.

All the groups and individuals in the team would usually go directly to him when they encountered problems.

Is this easy?

It’s difficult!
...After more than a month, the experimental preparation work was completed.

The experimental group wrote a report to their superiors, giving an overall description of the experiment. Before their superiors approved the report, a teacher came to them. It was Teacher Zhao who was engaged in gravity aircraft research.

Teacher Zhao is also in charge of the work related to gravitational technology. Coming here to take a look at the experiments related to gravitational technology can be regarded as a "management counterpart".

However, Mr. Zhao came here not for research, but for "safety issues".

When he met Zhang Shuo, the first thing he asked was about safety. "Your experiment will use radioactive elements? Have you taken care of the safety issues?"

Zhang Shuo, Yao Qiming and others are here.

Yao Qiming replied, "This is the first problem we solved. We added a radiation-proof layer to the outer layer of the equipment, and the experimenters will also wear radiation-proof clothing."

"We have done several basic experiments before, and the radioactivity index has passed the test."

Teacher Zhao still frowned and continued to ask, "Will the experiment be risky? Just like what happened at Fermilab...will it be..."

"will not."

Zhang Shuo said it with certainty.

Yao Qiming also breathed a sigh of relief. He would definitely participate directly in the experiment, and of course he did not want any risks in the experiment.

Zhang Shuo hadn't finished speaking yet. "That certainly won't happen. Theoretically, gravity technology is an instantaneous transformation and won't produce a strong corrosive force field."

“But the rest may not be the case.”

"I can't guarantee that there are no risks in the experiment. After all, it's new research..."

Yao Qiming's heart began to worry again.

Zhang Shuo was just telling the truth. When faced with a new research, no one is sure what will happen.

If you know it in advance, you don’t have to do experiments.

Teacher Zhao immediately asked, "Is this experiment important? Can it improve gravitational technology? For example, create a stronger gravitational field, or simplify the technology..."

"It shouldn't matter."

Zhang Shuo said, "It is possible to create a stronger gravitational field, but it is only one of the possibilities. It is also possible that the research has nothing to do with technology."

“It is because there are so many uncertainties that we need to conduct research.”

"In fact, the experiment is mainly aimed at theoretical exploration, to put it bluntly, the weak force."

"I have been studying the influence of weak force. In the new physics direction, every technology and every experiment is affected by weak force. We must understand this influence in order to better master the technology and conduct more in-depth theoretical research..."

He spoke a lot in succession, mainly emphasizing the importance of weak force research.

Teacher Zhao listened patiently and understood the importance of weak force research and the importance of experiments.

"Fine!"

He thought about it carefully and said, "But since there are risks, you can't participate!"

“It’s better to stay away!”

"How about this, when the experiment is over, you go to Sudong University, or somewhere else to wait for news. In short, stay at least ten kilometers away!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yao Qiming and said seriously, "Professor Yao, I know you. You are in charge of the experiment, right?"

"The experimental work is left to you!"

"..."

Yao Qiming didn't know how to react for a moment. Normally, facing the trust of his superior teacher, he should feel proud and excited... but he couldn't feel excited at all!
What's the meaning!
There is danger, Zhang Shuo, please stay away. Let me do it?

Fine……

He took a deep breath, trying not to show any other emotions on his face, and said seriously, "Don't worry, Teacher Zhao, Academician Zhang!"

“I’ll do all the work.”

……

The experiment has begun.

The experiment initially involves preparing materials, mainly medium materials and tritium elements, mixing tritium and lithium elements, and heating them to make them enter an active ionic state.

After reaching a certain temperature, the lithium element is controlled to enter the annular pipe, and then a strong magnetic field is turned on.

The magnetic field does not rise to a specific point all at once, but increases slowly. Lithium will move in the magnetic field, but tritium will not.

This creates a conflict of elemental movements.

Because the proportion of tritium is not high, it will not affect the overall movement of lithium elements, and the physical interference effect on gravity is not significant, but the decay characteristics of the element are not certain.

The experiment focuses on the impact of element decay on gravity.

Today's experimental process is much simpler, with many steps being automated, controlled by sophisticated computer programs and automatic detection systems.

There were only a few people in the laboratory. They were all wearing heavy radiation protection suits and could perform some steps manually.

Other personnel complete their work in the control room, and the computer will automatically feedback experimental information.

After all preparations were completed, Yao Qiming announced the official start of the experiment and the super-strong electromagnetic equipment was officially started.

According to the normal process, the gravitational field strength can be measured in just a few seconds after the equipment is officially started.

There are three gravitational field strength measuring devices in the experimental setup, one is located at the very center of the ring-shaped pipe, and the other two are placed above and below respectively.

The device at the center has the most accurate value, while the other two devices are used to assist in the measurement.

When the experiment officially started, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the control room, "317!"

Everyone else looked over.

The gravity value is based on the Earth's gravity.

The Earth's gravity is set to 100, and 317 means 3.17 times the Earth's gravity.

"so tall?"

“Is the data stable?”

"It's still changing..."

The one who exclaimed just now was Wang Qiang. The screen in front of him displayed the values ​​of three gravity measuring devices, and the value in the middle kept jumping.

"209, -079, 104, -050..."

"its not right!"

Wang Qiang suddenly said, "Come and take a look. The data is quite unstable. It was 317 at the beginning, but now it keeps changing and even has negative values..."

"what happened?"

Xue Baikun walked over and stared at the screen with everyone else.

There are three numbers on the screen, corresponding to three gravitational intensity measuring devices.

The values ​​on both sides are all 0.

The value in the middle jumps once per second, and there is no regular pattern in the value changes. The highest can reach over 300, and the lowest is even '-208'.

"Was there an error?"

"Or maybe the gravity is too strong and it affects the operation of the equipment?"

"Or is it just unstable?"

"..."
