Chapter 655: Unable to mass produce
Ye Feifan became more and more excited. He called up the supercomputer system, input a large amount of data, and began to verify his ideas.
More than half an hour later, he looked at the holographic simulation model in front of him with a smile on his face: "So that's it! So that's it!"
In the holographic image, a simulated neutron is appearing in front of everyone.
This is an antineutron composed of proton + electron + neutrino.
As long as the antineutron and the neutron are close to each other, they will combine together. The source of the nuclear force that combines them is the neutrino and the antineutrino.
Due to their own characteristics, neutrons and antineutrons are different from protons and antiprotons. The two do not react easily with each other, but maintain a fragile stability.
As for why antineutrons are extremely rare in the universe, the reason is due to the violation of parity conservation.
Antineutrinos make up the vast majority of the universe, while positive neutrinos are very rare.
This is similar to the situation with electrons and positrons.
Therefore, there are a lot of neutrons in the universe, but antineutrons are very rare.
During this experiment, by accident, some neutrinos were created, and at the same time they encountered a large number of electrons and protons, inadvertently synthesizing several antineutrons. These antineutrons then combined with neutrons to form special di-neutron nuclei.
Although this was something that was accidentally synthesized, Ye Feifan and others understood that this might be one of the keys to the second-level civilization.
After all, neutron degenerate material is the real cosmic material. Not only can it test extremely terrifying magnetic fields, its strength also exceeds that of general elemental compositions.
Just think about the existence of neutron stars and you will understand how terrible neutron degenerate materials are.
Dr. Yuri was also surprised by this unexpected surprise. He dispatched more people to Ye Feifan and ordered another experiment on the Mars ring system.
The energy level of the third collision experiment was exactly the same as the second, but the number of monitoring systems and precision instruments near the Jensen crater more than doubled.
This time the impact experiment lasted only 112 seconds, during which the time accurately monitored was only about 0.58 seconds.
However, this time, that special double-neutron nucleus appeared again, and there were 5 signal points.
After the impact, a large number of robots quickly entered the scene and quickly found three binary neutron nuclei based on the positioning of the magnetic field detectors.
With four di-neutron atomic nuclei and a rough understanding of how to produce this di-neutron matter, Ye Feifan's team began to study the physical properties of this di-neutron matter.
Inside a special protection laboratory.
Ye Feifan looked at the binary neutron material in the superconducting magnetic field, which could almost float in the air relying on its own magnetic field.
He became more and more excited: "The magnetic field of this thing is too strong. Only about one kilogram of dineutron material can produce a magnetic field equivalent to 50 tons of silver-based superconductor..."
Ruan Zhixiong was also extremely excited. He knew that the superconductor materials of Zhiren Company could only be used to increase the magnetic field strength by continuous stacking, which resulted in the mass and volume of those large-scale super-strong magnetic field equipment being very large.
However, if it is replaced with a double neutron material, then for the same magnetic field strength, the weight of the double neutron material will only be about one fifty thousandth of that of the silver-based superconductor.
Moreover, the double neutron material has an even more powerful property, which is that it is extremely resistant to high temperatures. Even at high temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius, the magnetic field characteristics of the double neutron material can still be maintained.
However, Ye Feifan soon smiled bitterly again: "This thing is too difficult to manufacture. A collision experiment of the Mars ring system only produces a few binary neutrons. If we continue with this production speed, it will probably take until the universe returns to the origin to collect one kilogram."
Others were also very helpless.
Double neutron materials are good things, but their output is calculated on a per-unit basis, which obviously does not have application value.
Ruan Zhixiong was not discouraged. He smiled and patted Ye Feifan on the shoulder: "Feifan, this is just the beginning. It's just like when humans first learned about rare elements. It was very difficult to extract even a little bit of rare elements."
"But now that our technology has improved, the difficulty of rare metal mining has dropped sharply. I believe that one day in the future, the company will be able to solve the problem of large-scale production of double neutron materials."
Hearing this, Ye Feifan adjusted his mentality. After all, double-neutron materials are still in their early stages of development, and there is still a long way to go in the future!
"Zhixiong, you are still open-minded. Thanks!"
"Don't be so pretentious. Our work is not over yet. Although we cannot synthesize it on a large scale, we must at least figure out the physical properties of double neutron materials."
"Well, go ahead!"
Ye Feifan's team continues to focus on researching double neutron materials.
On Dr. Yuri's side, based on the physical properties of double neutrons studied by Ye Feifan's team, he adjusted the experimental plan.
It took more than twenty explosions of the Mars ring system to increase the production of double neutrons from a few each time to about 2,000 to 3,000 each time.
Although the output has increased nearly a thousand times, it is still not enough to be used as an experimental sample, let alone practical application.
If the one-time output is very large, the intelligent civilization will not gain nothing in the critical point collision experiment.
It was because of the instantaneous communication of the magnetic monopole crystal and the precision of the magnetic field detector that Sapiens was able to discover the existence of the double neutron material by accident.
In scientific research, luck is sometimes really important.
After more than half a year of research and experimentation.
Ye Feifan's team has also figured out many physical properties of double neutron materials.
This thing is actually in a semi-stable state, with a half-life of about 92 days. Once it decays, the dineutron will become a hydrogen element consisting of a neutron and a proton, and release a neutrino at the same time.
It can release an extremely strong magnetic field. It is not charged and has no outer electrons. It is simply a quasi-atomic nucleus. Therefore, the density of this thing is extremely high and it cannot be stored in ordinary containers. It can only be stored in a magnetic field restrainer.
Two neutrons can combine with each other for the second time through protons to form a super-strong supernuclear structure. The density of this thing is extremely high, and its hardness, strength and heat resistance surpass all currently known materials.
Unless high-speed, high-energy neutrons or high-speed, high-energy protons are used to impact double-neutron materials, no other means can destroy the structure of double-neutron materials.
Even high-energy neutrons produced during nuclear fusion have no way of penetrating double-neutron materials or causing them to disintegrate.
If the production capacity of double neutron materials were not so limited, Sapiens would have planned to use this thing to improve the controlled nuclear fusion power generation system.
