Chapter 565: An Episode in the Midst of the Excitement

The construction of a new generation of particle colliders is so huge that it takes enough time to complete any long-lived dynasty on Earth. If there is no follow-up life medicine, ten generations will not be able to build it.

And now, at this moment, it has been five hundred years since the project was announced to start.

All the strong artificial intelligence that humans can mobilize has been deployed, and even the comprehensive strong artificial intelligence on the Tianqin has participated in the production and construction, and hundreds of billions of life individuals of the Red Flame Civilization have participated. But even so, only three-quarters of the progress of the project has been completed in five hundred years.

The new government has also put its main energy into the arrangement of construction, and the military has not been idle. The fleet has been divided into several squadrons to patrol those stars in batches.

Of course, not everyone is immersed in the project. Many theoretical scientists are like Yue Yuan. After the project is on track, they are not very busy.

Theoretical physicists have returned to their daily lives, and so is Yue Yuan.

But today is a bit special.

Today, Yue Yuan just finished dealing with daily affairs and received a notice from the Secretariat that Manyuemei returned with the second fleet on patrol.

Yue Yuan was also delighted to see the news. He hadn't seen Manyuemei for more than a hundred years. Now that she came, it was just right for them to have an in-depth exchange.

However, before he could have an in-depth exchange with Manyuemei, he received information about Liu Miyan's visit.

Yue Yuan naturally couldn't refuse the visit of a great scientist, but perhaps because his interest was ruined, he didn't wait for Liu Miyan in the office, but asked him to move to the command center and meet there.

As for Manyuemei, she didn't follow. After Yue Yuan left, she stayed in the office alone, as if she was waiting for Yue Yuan to come back.

Yue Yuan was not stupid, of course he understood what it meant.

"Chief, this is the application report for the use of the particle collider"

Yue Yuan had just arrived at the command center when he saw Liu Miyan coming towards him. At the same time, through the control of the brain implant chip, a document was transmitted face to face to Yue Yuan's temporary file storage space.

What particle collider application report?

"Isn't the multi-point particle collider in space there? Is it necessary to apply for it yourself?" Seeing Liu Miyan's serious look, Yue Yuan was indeed full of doubts.

However, after flipping over Liu Miyan's expression report ticket and taking a look, he understood, and at the same time he felt speechless.

Damn, the new generation of particle colliders are only 30% built, and this guy has started applying for scientific research projects, and it was handed directly to him. What the hell is going on.

Yue Yuan didn't know that Liu Miyan had learned this from Yi Kai. According to the procedure, the application for scientific research projects is managed by the closed department, and he doesn't need to find Yue Yuan directly.

But this new particle collider was not built at all, so it was naturally not included in the management system of the relevant departments, and the traditional application procedure was out of the question. But Liu Miyan wanted his team to be the first scientific research team to use it. He felt that the sooner he had the right to use it, the more likely he would seize the opportunity. Maybe his team would get the results of the grand unified theory, so he found Yue Yuan.

"I say, Academician Liu, you applied too early!" Yue Yuan couldn't help but complain.

"Not too early, not too early, just right." Liu Miyan said with a thick face and a big smile: "That is our chance to witness the opening stage of the universe. We will soon be able to get a glimpse of the first stage of the five stages of the universe's development. If we don't get it early, it will be snatched away by other teams. Those guys in the team may complain about me for a hundred years."

"That's it?" Yue Yuan raised his eyebrows. He still had to go back and have a long talk with Manyuemei!

"That's it!"

"Okay, it's settled."

Yue Yuan was too lazy to say too much. Anyway, the new particle collider was built to be used. For him, it didn't matter which scientific research team used it first.

As for the five stages of the universe's development mentioned by Liu Miyan, it refers to one of the three models of the universe's ending that are popular in the human scientific community, the Big Freeze hypothesis,

the other two are the Big Rip hypothesis and the Big Collapse hypothesis.

The first few stages of the three hypotheses about the universe's ending are the same, all of which are hypotheses deduced from the Big Bang model.

All three hypotheses believe that the stage in which humans live now or the universe is now in belongs to the second stage of the development of the universe, that is, the period of star-studded period.

The time is about 10 to the 6th to the 14th power or 10 to the 6th to the 14th power years after the Big Bang. In this stage, stars are everywhere, the hydrogen that originally permeated the void is compressed, and the stars have ignited, illuminating the sky.

This period is what people see when they observe the universe. Hydrogen-rich stars burn for billions of years until they run out of nuclear fuel.

The so-called first stage of the universe in Liu Miyan's mouth refers to the primitive stage, which lasts from 10 to the negative 50th power to the 5th power.

This time period is called the first stage by cosmologists, also called the primitive stage. In this stage, the universe experienced a surge but also cooled rapidly. As the universe cooled, the various forces in the universe that were once unified in a total "super force" gradually fell apart, forming the four basic forces that people are familiar with today.

In the beginning, the universe was not as transparent as the starry sky today, but was white or chaotic, because at that stage, light was quickly absorbed by the environment after it was produced. After waiting for 380,000 years after the Big Bang, the universe cooled enough for atoms to form and no longer be broken by the intense heat contraction, so the cosmic void truly became black and transparent for light to travel freely.

Microwave background radiation originated from this period.

During this period, the original hydrogen fused into helium, producing the interstellar mixed fuel currently scattered throughout the universe, that is, visible matter to humans, which are the basis of stars.

The role of the particle collider is to lead humans to break through the mysteries of physics that have been hidden in the long river of time, so that humans have the ability to "reverse time" to explore the various secrets hidden in the first stage of the universe.

For a physicist who has devoted his life to exploring the unknown, it is undoubtedly a desire to witness the human collider blasting out the environment of the world, especially when it is made by his own hands.

Of course, from another perspective, it also shows the confidence of physicists in the new particle collider. After all, in theoretical calculations, this unfinished new particle collider can collide with the cosmic environment before the phase transition of the strong interaction force.

As for the next stage, according to the cosmic big freeze hypothesis supported by Liu Miyan, the third stage is the degeneration period, that is, the stellar fuel in the universe is exhausted, and the stars exist in the form of dwarf stars, neutron stars, and black holes. Then there is the fourth stage black hole period, and finally the dark period.

Oh. The big freeze hypothesis is also called the heat death hypothesis.

With the current level of human understanding of the universe, the speculation about the end of the universe can only be a hypothesis. In fact, not only humans, but also the sixth-level civilization does not know what the final end of the universe will be.
