After lunch, Lin Lin returned to the institute with Jiang Chen. Out of curiosity, Sun Xiaorou also followed the two.
This small sphere may be a secret in the modern world, but it was nothing special in the apocalypse. Therefore, Jiang Chen did not hide anything from Xiaorou. He narrated the origin of the sphere through a story to her.
“Extraterrestrial civilization? Do they really exist?”
In the corridor of the institute, Sun Xiaorou slanted her head, and her soft, luscious hair draped across her shoulder. Her nose pointed upwards due to confusion, making her look more and more like her sister.
“Who knows? Although we haven’t met it yet, but who knows. Not to mention, if it is not an extraterrestrial civilization, how can we explain the sphere made out of hadron material?” Jiang Chen smiled, “it doesn’t look like something that can be formed in nature at all.”
“Use the result to derive the cause?”
“Yes.”
“How can you explain your ability to interdimensional travel?” Sun Xiaorou grinned.
Jiang Chen thought about it, then shook his head.
For the time being, he didn’t want to think about this.
Lin Lin took the two people to the elevator and arrived at the lab deep underground.
Although the Lin Research Institute did not research weapons, the particle cannon was an exception. Studying how to use magnetic confinement technology to wrap larger, high-temperature particles or even anti-matter, was one of the research topics Jiang Chen gave the institute. And this lab was designed to test this particle cannon.
The explosion-proof and earthquake-resistance of this lab was ranked among the top in the NAC.
In the middle of the lab, Jiang Chen saw the black sphere.
From the new graphene protective wall, it was clear that Lin Lin already tested the particle cannon on the black sphere. She was very close to use antimatter with power equivalent to nuclear weapons as her last resot, but she still couldn’t break the sphere.
Jiang Chen thought that if the particle cannon did not even dent the sphere, perhaps only anti-matter could damage it.
Just as Jiang Chen debated about this possibility, Lin Lin took a deep breath and whispered, “I’ll leave it up to you,” and then a ray of crimson light formed in her eye.
Jiang Chen silently put away the electronic products on him into the storage dimension, and also took Xiaorou’s EP away.
Most of the equipment used in this laboratory were large-scale optoelectronic components. The “parts” on Lin Lin’s body were the jewels of pre-war technology, they were all resistant to the strong EMP effect generated when the Klein particles collapse to the third dimension. But it was not the case for Jiang Chen’s electronics, for example, the watch Yao Yao gifted him. It could certainly resist an EMP grenade, but Lin Lin’s EMP could melt the electronic components inside it into a paste.
Lin Lin’s solution was simple.
Klein particles.
Since it is a particle that exists in the fourth dimension, it shound’t be too difficult to break through the hadron material. After all, the two are not on one dimension at all. As long as she can prove that the Klein particles can pass through the hadron material, then the next step is easy. Design a Klein particle wave detector to learn about the internal structure of the sphere. This step should not be a problem.
“How do you plan to treat Tingting,” Sun Xiaorou with a wicked smile held onto Jiang Chen’s arm. She gently whispered in his ear. “I heard from my sister the story between you and her in the virtual reality realm of Fallout Shelter 005.”
“…”
Jiang Chen selectively ignored this question.
To be honest, he didn’t know how to respond to Tingting’s feelings. He wasn’t even sure if her feelings are the same as the “like” experienced by humans.
Inside the graphene protective wall, Lin Lin… No, Tingting, formed a red ray in her eyes. The unstable red rays were the sign that the Klein particles collapsing from the fourth dimension to the third dimension.
She aimed at the center of the room, and the ray suddenly burst out and directly hit the black sphere.
However, something unexpected occurred.
The moment the ray collided with the black sphere, the ray was deflected and redirected into the graphene protective wall. The ray formed a large hole on the protective wall.
Jiang Chen’s eyes almost popped out.
Although he did not expect the Klein particle beam to penetrate the sphere, it was his first time seeing something that could deflect Klein particles.
The crimson dissipated from her pupils, and the energy-depleted Tingting entered hibernation. Lin Lin stared at the big hole on the wall and paused for a moment. Then she quickly walked to the instrument on her left hand and called out the Klein particle distribution map in the room.
On that image, it was obvious that a thick and bright red ray shot into the middle of the room, and then there was a forty-five degrees turn. The action made sense since Lin Lin did not expect the Klein particle beam to penetrate the black sphere.
However, what shocked her was…
At the position of the black sphere, not only the Klein particles that collapsed into the three-dimensional in the form of energy were deflected, even the Klein particles that have not yet decayed from the fourth dimension were also deflected.
Hadron material, was still a three-dimensional material after all, but it even interfered with the particles in the fourth dimension?
It was like a particle in the fourth dimension was blocked by the wall in the third-dimension?
How could this be!
Although Lin Lin couldn’t believe this, she knew it was not an experimental error.
The Klein particle monitor next to her was designed by her and her sisters. In this three hundred square meters lab, the monitoring of the density of the Klein particles can even be accurate to the millimeter level! Even if this instrument was compared to technology before the war, the top academicians would applaud over the accuracy of this device.
Sun Xiaorou walked over to the graphene protective wall and touched the terrifying fracture. She was stunned.
Unwillingly to accept the result, Lin Lin still wanted to try once more, but Tingting no longer had any energy. She had to give up.
“How is the situation?” Although he had an idea from the expression on her face, he still asked.
Sure enough, Lin Lin shook her head and grabbed her hair in frustration. She muttered in a depressed mood.
“Even the Klein particles can’t penetrate this, I don’t understand, it doesn’t make sense…”
“You mean, the hadron material is completely protected against Klein particles?”
“It seems to be the case… maybe it’s a principle we still don’t understand? I don’t understand.”
While Lin Lin was frustrated, Jiang Chen’s eyes gradually lit up.
This is amazing!
He was worried about how he would defend against the Klein particle beam known as the electronics killer if he encounters the space colonization ship from Harmony. However, now, the solution has appeared in front of him and he only needs to figure out how to gild a layer of the hadron material on the battleship…
