Chapter 664 Bigger and Stronger
Mars.
The dual neutron manufacturing plant of the Star Ring system.
Dr. Yuri is touring the factory with Li Qingye's synchronous robot.
"Mr. Chairman, these are the double neutron materials that have just been produced... "
Inside the magnetic field confinement storage device in front of us, we can see what’s going on inside through the transparent window, but even so, it is actually very difficult to observe the di-neutron material inside.
This is because the density of dineutronic materials is very high.
The density of double-neutron materials without outer electrons is extremely high.
This magnetic field confinement storage device in front of us contains 83 grams of di-neutron materials, but these di-neutron materials cannot be observed with the naked eye.
Li Qingye could only see the polymer of double neutron material through a particle microscope on one side.
"Dr. Yuri, what is the current binary neutron production capacity of the Mars ring system?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Li, the factory manager on Dr. Yuri's side, quickly replied: "Mr. Chairman, currently our factory can only produce about ."
Li Qingye's eyes flashed with helplessness: "This production capacity is still too small. Double neutron materials are the foundation of the company's next industrial revolution. We must find a way to increase production capacity."
Dr. Yuri is also very aware of the importance of dineutron material. After all, this thing has a wide range of uses.
Even if it is only used as a coating for the outer shell of a spacecraft, it can allow the spacecraft to block high-energy particles and cosmic rays during space travel, especially the difficult-to-defend-against high-energy neutrons and gamma rays.
Just by coating the outer shell of the spacecraft with a thin layer of double neutron material, the protective effect is equivalent to that of a composite lead plate and special tungsten alloy several hundred meters thick.
The weight difference between the two is very large.
Although the density of double neutron materials is extremely high, the amount required is much less than that of composite lead plates and tungsten alloys with similar effects.
What's more, double neutron materials can stimulate super magnetic fields, which is difficult for other materials to do.
All in all, double neutron materials are good things, but the only problem is that the production capacity is too small.
Dr. Yuri thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Chairman, we are trying to improve the technology, but there are various difficulties in each technical improvement path. The most likely improvement plan to achieve a rapid increase in the production capacity of double neutron materials is to build a larger particle collider."
"A more massive particle collider?" Li Qingye's expression was uncertain.
You should know that the ring system surrounding the equator of Mars is one of the largest facilities in the solar system.
Li Qingye fell into deep thought.
If we want to build a larger particle collider, we can only rely on existing stars, and we cannot choose to build a super-large particle collider in the vast void.
The reason why we cannot build in the void is very simple: for safety.
Why is it unsafe?
This is not a problem with the Super Large Hadron Collider itself, but it is easy to be observed by other civilizations.
Space cities like Zhurong City have a radius of only about ten to twenty kilometers. In addition, they are close to other natural planets or asteroids, and it is difficult for alien civilizations from other planetary systems to observe abnormalities.
This is also why Sapiens dares to transform planets, dwarf planets and asteroids unscrupulously, because these celestial bodies exist naturally, and there is no way to observe the tiny changes in them in other distant planetary systems.
However, if we build a particle collider with a radius greater than that of Mars in the void inside the solar system, then the outline of this super-large particle collider can be seen in the planetary systems around the solar system by simply providing the transit method.
As long as the alien civilization is not stupid, as soon as they see the ring structure of the Super Large Hadron Collider, they will definitely guess that there is civilization in the solar system.
It is not a wise move to expose yourself to the sight of other civilizations.
Therefore, the option of building a super-large particle collider in the void within the solar system is ruled out.
As for the void outside the solar system, it is also not a good choice because there are not enough resources.
Li Qingye then ruled out the option of causing trouble on the sun itself. After all, the radius of the sun is too large and the danger is very high. In addition, the resource consumption is too high, so this is also not a good option.
After all, Dyson spheres or Dyson rings are giant structures of stellar scale. Not only are they easy to expose themselves, but they also require astronomical resources.
After excluding the void inside the solar system, the void outside the solar system, and the sun itself, we can then exclude all the terrestrial planets.
There are only four gas planets left in the solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
In his mind, Li Qingye quickly evaluated the various indicators of the four gas planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
From a safety perspective, Jupiter can basically be ruled out. On the one hand, this is because Jupiter's gravity is too great, and on the other hand, it is located outside the asteroid belt, making it very easy to attract asteroids.
This is something that Sapiens has deeply experienced over the years.
The Jupiter colonization branch of Sapiens encounters asteroids entering the Jupiter system every year.
On the other hand, Jupiter's equator is too long, at 450,000 kilometers, making it too troublesome to build.
Saturn, which is similar to Jupiter, was also eliminated by Li Qingye.
Now only Uranus and Neptune remain.
In fact, Li Qingye believes that these two gas planets are suitable as construction sites for super-large particle colliders.
Li Qingye did not think about how to carry out the engineering design. He turned around and instructed his assistant: "Xia Fei."
"Chairman, please give me your instructions." Xia Fei took out the biological tablet he carried with him and opened the audio and text recording program.
"Let the Engineering Division, Space Division, and Science Division form a special team to design and build a super-large particle collider and a double neutron production plant. The construction site will be chosen between Uranus and Neptune."
After recording everything, Xia Fei nodded: "I'll notify them right away."
"Um."
Li Qingye looked at Dr. Yuri again: "Doctor, you should also send some people over to participate in this project."
Dr. Yuri naturally hoped that the company would build a larger particle collider. He replied with a smile on his face: "I will definitely dispatch a group of professionals there."
The group continued to visit the Dual Neutron Manufacturing Plant on Mars.
In order to manufacture binary neutron materials, Mars' ring system has undergone significant modifications. For example, the vacuum ring pipe that can be easily destroyed by the energy of particle collisions has been transformed into special nanorobots that can achieve instant repair effects.
