Otherworld Girl Development Guide

"It's nothing much. We've cracked the signal from the ancient civilization's communication device that we salvaged," Shi Qiang said, squinting.

"Oh? What communication methods do they use?"

Neutrinos!

"Neutrinos, no wonder! No wonder they can penetrate seawater!"

Inside the research institute at the Xirang base, the experts' expressions turned serious.

I initially thought this signal transmitting device was for quantum communication, but it turns out to be a lepton communicator that uses neutrinos as a medium for communication.

Speed ​​is the most telling attribute of a civilization’s technological level, and communication is another indicator of a civilization’s technological level.

"The technological level of the remaining starfish civilization is probably higher than we imagined!"

Ancient civilizations sent signals via neutrinos, and the starfish civilization, which could also receive neutrinos, was no pushover either. Their technology was too low; they didn't even have a concept of what neutrinos were, let alone how to receive them.

Neutrinos, also known as leptons, are a type of lepton and are among the most fundamental particles that make up nature.

Neutrinos are small, uncharged, and can pass freely through the Earth. They have a spin of 1/2, are extremely light (some are less than one millionth the mass of an electron), move at near the speed of light, and interact very weakly with other matter, earning them the nickname "invisible beings" in the universe.

Human scientists have captured high-energy neutrinos for the first time, earning them the title of "invisible men of the universe." Using a particle detector buried under the Antarctic ice, they have captured high-energy neutrinos originating from outside the solar system for the first time.

Neutrinos are so small that they can easily penetrate matter. Matter is like a "liquid" to neutrinos, allowing them to pass through gaps with ease... And what's even more unsettling is: what if the starfish civilization replied, but the rabbit didn't receive it?

Upon realizing this, the experts present turned grim.

Contact between two civilizations can be seen as a contest of comprehensive strength. Currently, China is lagging behind in communication, which will undoubtedly put it at a disadvantage in communication. After all, strength is what matters in life!

"Immediately gather all our scientific research resources and create a neutrino receiver. We need to find out whether the Starfish Civilization has responded!"

The various weak interactions between particles produce neutrinos, and the slow speed of the weak interactions is the main obstacle to the "proton-proton" reaction in stars. This also explains why neutrinos can easily pass through ordinary matter without reacting.

In other words, the rabbit will next move towards weak interactions.

Chapter 6 The Future of Unification

"Neutrino communication!" Zhou Mingrui was stunned. The ancient civilization actually possessed the technology of neutrino communication, and the starfish civilization also had the technology to monitor neutrino communication.

However, the neutrino communication transmitting device is now in China's hands, which means... at least China has grasped the key to neutrino communication and has a physical object to learn from. In terms of neutrino communication research, China is at the forefront.

Most importantly, the production of neutrinos is related to the weak force. Once we understand neutrino communication, it means that China's understanding of the weak force will be further advanced.

The weak interaction, or simply the weak force, is the second weakest of the four fundamental forces and has the shortest range of action. It only acts on fermions such as electrons, quarks, and neutrinos, and governs radioactivity, but has no effect on bosons such as photons and gravitons.

Currently, fusion reactors in rabbits produce a large number of neutrons, which can decay into protons, releasing electrons, protons, and a neutrino.

Neutron → Proton + Electron + Neutrino... In other words, the neutrons stored after nuclear fusion now have a new use: they can be used to mass-produce neutrinos.

Neutrino communication has unparalleled penetrating power, enabling unimpeded communication even from the Earth's core to the surface, truly achieving barrier-free communication. It has irreplaceable value in both civilian and military applications!

Currently, in addition to the electromagnetic force that it is most familiar with, the rabbit has also come into contact with gravity through orienting technology. Now it has also discovered the lieutenant's communication technology related to the weak force, which means that its understanding of the weak force will be further improved.

The weak force can influence matter, causing it to decay, and the energy released during decay...

Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay. In this process, an atomic nucleus releases a beta particle (electron or positron), and it is divided into beta+ decay (releasing a positron) and beta- decay (releasing an electron).

In beta decay, the weak interaction transforms a neutron into a proton, an electron, and an antielectron neutrino. Essentially, a down quark transforms into an up quark by releasing a w boson. The w boson then decays into an electron and an antielectron neutrino.

Positrons are antimatter, and antimatter and matter can annihilate each other, releasing unparalleled amounts of energy. Antimatter itself is a highly efficient, clean, and pollution-free energy source, so clean that it could bring tears to the eyes of environmental science students. Perhaps in the future, the environmental science major at Rabbit University will begin to study antimatter and helium-3, or even more environmentally friendly energy sources.

When an atomic nucleus undergoes alpha or beta decay, the resulting new nucleus may be in an excited state. At this time, the new nucleus will transition to a lower energy level and release gamma particles, which is gamma radiation.

Gamma radiation is often produced in conjunction with other forms of radiation, such as alpha rays and beta rays, which are all high-energy rays that can kill humans on the spot, and are also environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

Gamma rays, X-rays, visible light, and ultraviolet light are all different forms of electromagnetic radiation. The only difference is the frequency of the light, which is the energy of the photon. Gamma photons have the highest energy.

Once we control gamma photons, the rabbit's laser emitter will no longer release ultraviolet lasers, but gamma photon ray lasers!

We could burn the head off the US military in an instant. Just deploy a few space weapons that can emit gamma photons in Earth's orbit, and see who dares to jump around!

The last type of decay, unlike ordinary decay, is alpha decay, a radioactive decay. In this process, an atomic nucleus releases an alpha particle (a helium nucleus composed of two neutrons and two protons) and transforms into a new atomic nucleus with a mass number reduced by 4 and an atomic number reduced by 2.

An alpha particle is identical to a helium nucleus, sharing the same mass number and nuclear charge. Alpha decay is essentially a process of quantum mechanical tunneling. Unlike beta decay, it is governed by the strong interaction.

Alpha decay might unveil the mystery of the strong interaction force for rabbits...maybe.

Currently, only the strong interaction force remains largely unknown to the rabbit. However, the rabbit has already come into contact with three of the four fundamental forces. Once the rabbit has a better understanding of the strong force, perhaps a unified theory integrating the four fundamental forces will not be far off.

I really look forward to the day when the rabbit masters great power, and the "Trisolarans" are actually the rabbit himself.

The next step for the rabbit is to study and understand the principles of neutrino communication on the ancient civilization's vehicles, and then find a way to crack it. This way, it can communicate with the starfish civilization in the ocean from a distance, which may improve the current situation between the two sides.

Starfish living on the seabed, wouldn't you like to do business? We have many local specialties on land; if we use minerals from the ocean as currency, we can exchange what we have!

Two hours later, Zhou Mingrui boarded a modified Y20, the Anti-Gravity Fat Girl, which was equipped with an anti-gravity system and had a higher safety factor. The Y20 then glided across the runway.

The moment the landing gear left the ground, Fatty leaped high into the air and flew towards Shangqiu, followed by two Azure Phoenixes flanking her on either side.

The Y20 carries not only national treasures, but also a neutrino transmitter destined for Shangqiu, intended for replication using these treasures.

With this treasure, you can copy any item you get first, and once you have a large quantity, you won't have to worry about accidents during the research process. Even if you accidentally damage one, you'll still have 10 in your warehouse, which greatly speeds up the efficiency of scientific research.

At the airport, Zhou Mingrui sat quietly in his seat, flipping through the documents in his hand. Shi Qiang sat beside him, while in the middle of the cabin, some researchers were quietly discussing a project related to neutrinos.

Neutrinos can do more than just communication; if we could build neutrino radar, that would be a great achievement.

"I think the scan lines on the treasure might be a form of neutrino utilization..."

An expert looked enviously at the neutrino communication transmitter in the container and said, "After all, only neutrinos small enough can scan objects clearly."

Neutrinos are so small that objects appear "liquid" in front of them, allowing for clear scanning and analysis of their internal structure. However, the computational power required is enormous. The artifact must contain a complete data processing module with astonishing computing power!

Computing power is everything; as long as the computing power is high, one is omniscient and omnipotent in a certain sense.

However, new quantum computers are under research, and China is working on Chapter 9-6 based on Chapter 9-4.

Chapter 7 Game of Thrones (Revised)

The Kingdom of Bel.

Kingdom of Gran.

Inside the royal castle.

Diplomatic Rabbit, carrying a small leather bag, entered Queen Estée's reception room.

The purpose of this visit to Queen Estée is to obtain more information from the Kingdom of Bel. The higher-ups in Shangqiu always felt that behind Queen Estée's kind smile lay a deep secret.

Think tanks in Shangqiu speculate that, just like the neutrino communication left behind by the starfish civilization in the Abyss Sea, perhaps there are also artifacts left behind by an ancient civilization in the Kingdom of Bell, with technological capabilities far exceeding those of current technology.

Therefore, Rabbit will show its utmost sincerity in this meeting with Queen Estée.

Queen Estée, who had been waiting there, smiled and gestured for the Diplomatic Rabbit to sit down.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Wang."

Greetings, Your Majesty Queen Estée.

Although Queen Estée is advanced in years, her complexion is rosy and her eyes are bright, which is a good thing. At least it can ensure a stable transition until Princess Corliss ascends the throne. Moreover, Mingrui Star does not have those troublemakers who love to stir up trouble and are eager for chaos.

"I didn't know Mr. Wang was here this time?"

"We've encountered 'the descendants of demons'..."

As a private meeting, the entire reception room contained only Queen Estée and her "secretary, bodyguard, and confidante," Yuri. Diplomatic Rabbit stated directly, "...we had a cordial and friendly exchange with them."

After speaking, Diplomatic Rabbit opened the suitcase and handed the PAD inside to Queen Estée.

Queen Estée took the PAD and watched the video playing on it. Her eyes flickered for a moment. After quietly watching the battle video, Queen Estée returned the PAD to the other party, took a sip of her tea, and said, "So, how do you plan to deal with this, or rather, what is your attitude?"

"Courtesy first, then force," Diplomatic Rabbit said frankly.

“Very characteristic of Shangqiu.” Queen Estée nodded, this was Shangqiu’s usual response, then changed the subject and asked, “...if communication is impossible.”

"Exterminate them completely, nip them in the bud. Treat enemies like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind." Diplomatic Rabbit said earnestly. To wipe out another civilization is the greatest respect.

Queen Estée put down her teacup, gave Yuri a wink, and Yuri nodded, walked to the corner of the room, placed something on the table, and then stood behind the Queen like a statue.

"In your Shangqiu dialect, it's a case of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' I understand this principle. Inside is all the information I've compiled about the demons in the deep sea. I hope it will be helpful to you."

Compared to previous conversations, Queen Estée's attitude this time was clearly more sincere.

Based on experts' previous conversations with the Queen, it seems she was hiding something... perhaps it was distrust of Shangqiu, or perhaps it was because they came from the Abyss Sea...

However, after several years of contact, Queen Estée's attitude changed a lot, but what completely changed her was the battle between the people of Shangqiu and the "demon" in the Abyss Sea.

There were rumors circulating on the mainland that the people of Shangqiu were the "demons" banished by the goddess, but this view could not become the mainstream, especially after Shangqiu demonstrated its advanced nature. "Shangqiu people" were everywhere on the mainland, and without Shangqiu itself having to promote itself, they became "traitors."

"What are the views of the Republic of Calva and the Empire of Rebonia regarding demons?"

This is something that Rabbit is also concerned about. It seems that the Kingdom of Bel is the most interested in demons, while the Republic of Calva and the Rebonia Empire are not so enthusiastic about the "demons" in the Abyss Sea.

Geographically speaking, both the Republic of Calva and the Empire of Rebonia have long coastlines. If the Starfish Civilization launches an attack from the Abyss Sea to the land civilization, and their navy is incompetent, they will be unable to defend their borders. Their long coastlines will be full of vulnerabilities.

"They..." Queen Estelle paused for two seconds before saying, "...perhaps they are observing; their information is not currently in the Abyss Sea."

"The situation within the empire is beginning to deteriorate. The struggle between the aristocracy and the reformists has reached its final stage, and the contest between the four great families and the Iron Chancellor has moved from the open to the main stage..."

Shangqiu was very concerned about the situation in the Empire. As a long-established power on the continent, if chaos broke out, it would affect the entire continent. However, thanks to the existence of the Republic of Calva, the Empire maintained basic rationality even in chaos and stationed a large number of troops on the border with the Republic of Calva.

"...The aristocratic faction has begun openly assassinating the Iron Chancellor; civil war is probably not far off..."

The true intentions are revealed when the truth is revealed; assassination is ultimately a means that cannot be used openly. If assassination cannot solve the problem, then the only way to resolve internal conflicts is through large-scale civil war.

The aristocracy was unwilling to relinquish its vested interests, while the reformists, representing the young elites, could not tolerate the oppression by the old aristocracy and wanted more say... The conflict between the two sides had become irreconcilable.

"So, the Empire is currently paying absolutely no attention to the demons in the Abyss Sea, things that only exist in legends?"

"In your Shangqiu dialect, you can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep..." Queen Estée said half-jokingly, "...After all, the nobles and reformers are focused on the domestic struggles; the Abyss Sea is too far away."

"Because of its parliamentary system, the members of the Republic of Calva have been corrupted by long-term power and have no interest in what is happening in the Abyss Sea."

Simply put, after doing business with Shangqiu, the councilors were making so much money that they had no time to pay attention to the distant Abyss Sea.

Even if the legend of the goddess is not just a legend, humans are the most forgetful. After countless generations of reproduction, humans have forgotten the threat in the abyss and have become more concerned with power and money.

Game of Thrones is incredibly addictive. Currently, on the continent, the Republic of Calva and the Empire of Rebonia are keen on trade and eager for Shangqiu's products, as this would bring in a lot of money and give them a greater advantage.

"Then, Queen Estelle, why is the Kingdom of Bell so concerned about the Abyss Sea?" Diplomatic Rabbit asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Queen Estée smiled and said, "Well... it's not the time to talk about that yet. Let Queen Corliss tell you."

Queen Corliss? The Diplomatic Rabbit seemed to realize something.
