Chapter 1305

Imcrc's press conference is over.

The resulting sensation also quickly captured the headlines of major newspapers through the microphones and cameras in the hands of journalists.

Renren Daily: "the success of Z particle opens the door to the future of physics and our civilization!"

Jinling Evening News: "63.6 seconds!"

The Wall Street Journal: "the speed of light is no longer insurmountable!"

The sun: "the universe is no longer far away from us!"

Times:

Whether it's paper media or TV media, whether it's print media or three-dimensional media, it's almost brushed by the keywords of academician Lu, imcrc and Z particle.

What does superluminal speed mean?

Perhaps few people can fully understand the academic significance of this. Most people can't even explain what Z particle is.

But for the vast majority of people, the imagination for the future is highly consistent!

One day, human footprints will set foot on distant planets in some form, and one day, the seeds of civilization will be carried away by the solar wind or other things.

Even the farthest probe ever launched by humans has just left the solar system's borders. Even if our proud science wants to reach the nearest star system, we don't know how many hundred years it will take.

But almost no one will doubt that the fate of mankind will be forever blocked in this blue star.

Now, the successful opening of the hyperspace channel undoubtedly opens a door for people's imagination.

Even though it is still a beautiful and distant dream, at least for now, the word "distant" has been given visible distance.

As everyone has witnessed, this small particle has changed not only the physical world, but also the future of mankind!

In the face of such a significant historic moment, who can keep a real calm?

Therefore, in the face of this epoch-making research results, almost the majority of the media have shown almost the same enthusiasm, not stingy layout and flow to report it.

Even at the press conference, the Secretary General of imcrc has made it clear that even if Z particle successfully opened the hyperspace channel, it does not mean that human civilization will have the hope to enter the gate of the interstellar era, and still hasn't extinguished people's vision of the distant star.

A well-known foreign space enthusiast forum.

Since the BFS spacecraft was defeated by Mars, the heat on the forum is getting worse and worse day by day.

However, this situation has been changed dramatically recently!

With the news of the success of the Z particle experiment spread, the hot voice in the forum almost blew up the server.

Even the big bulls, who lived thousands of years ago, thought of their account overnight, and suddenly appeared in the eyes of the new netizens who had just registered, and participated in the discussion of almost printing.

[it's too unthinkable! Hyperspace channel! Do you know what this reminds me? This reminds me of wormholes! ]

[but I heard that the Secretary General of imcrc seems to have a pessimistic view on the use of hyperspace technology to achieve interstellar navigation? It's hard to maintain the existence of hyperspace channels. ]

[Secretary General of imcrc? That Luo Wenxuan?! He knows P's spaceflight!!! ](cough, don't say that to others. Although it's far worse than Professor Lu, who is also a graduate of JINDA University, he's an excellent young physicist anyway ]

[I disagree! Even if we can't achieve super light speed navigation through this technology, we can at least achieve super light speed communication. A message originally took 270.7s to get to Mars, but because we cut short the signal, now it only takes 207.1s, a minute fast enough! And it's said that this is not the best shortcut. We will find the best hyperspace route in the real sense through more powerful supercomputing later. It's impossible to call Mars from here, just like calling China from New York! ]

[not only communication, but also astronomical observation. All the star charts we see now are the light from stars hundreds or even thousands of years ago. If we can get light or signals to our galaxy faster in some way, we will be able to know what the planet we want to take is like now! Not hundreds or even thousands of years ago! ]

[Z particle clock is not cheap. It costs hundreds of millions to create a hyperspace channel that can not even exist for five minutes. This dream looks beautiful, but the cost is too expensive! ]

[any technology is expensive when it comes out, but we always have a way to make it better, don't we? ]

……

Go to Beijing.

Chang'an Street.In a conference room with a solemn air in the decoration, the old man in a Chinese mountain suit finished reading the report in his hand, and his face could not help but move a little.

Without any pause, he put down the report in his hand and looked up at director Li standing at his desk.

"Really only 207.1s?!"

"Absolutely!" Director Li nodded seriously, with a hint of impenetrable excitement in his respectful tone, and continued, "I was at the scene of the command center!"

Almost on the day of the end of the experiment, he sat in the maglev, which had only been open to traffic for two months, and returned to Shangjing from Jinling in the fastest time, and came to Chang'an Street with the report written on the road.

The moment when the reading on the counter was printed on the screen, even now he still remembers it vividly. Even if he made a mistake in other things, he would never make a mistake in this matter alone!

The old man couldn't help asking, "what about the 63.6s that disappeared? Where have you been? "

Director Li: "I don't really understand the specific theory! It seems that it involves very complex physical principles and mathematical calculations. Academician Lu and I have talked about it many times, and I have only a half understanding. "

Looking at director Li eagerly, the old man said at once.

"Tell me about it! Speak as much as you know! "

With his fingers, director Li tried to give a vague explanation with his own understanding.

"In short, isn't gravity tugging at each other between the earth and other planets? It's like being tied by a bond. It's invisible in three dimensions, but it's real. "

The old man couldn't help but ask, "and then?"

Director Li: "then they pulled the link through the Z particle, and it vibrated like a string in high-dimensional space. Because of the relativity, gravity itself is the curvature of matter to space-time. Now the curvature vibrates. In our three-dimensional space, space is bumped together. Some of them are longer, some are shorter -- "

pondered for a while, the old man said thoughtfully:" that is to say, the photon that arrived first Is to take a shorter path? "

Hearing this, director Li clapped his thigh and nodded in praise.

"You are still smart! It took me a long time to figure it out. "

Ha ha.

It's up to you.

He sat back in his chair, his face still, and the old man behind his desk pondered for a moment and said.

"Use this thing to sail at superluminal speed What is the feasibility? "

If warp speed can be achieved

I'm afraid the impact of this thing on China is even greater than that of nuclear fusion!

It not only means that China will be able to get the tickets of developing distant planets first, but also means that Chinese civilization will realize the complete transformation from land civilization to space civilization!

At the thought of this, even the elder, who has always been calm, can't help but breathe a little fast.

Hearing this, Li Ju guessed what the old man was thinking.

Although he didn't want to destroy the vision in his heart, he replied truthfully after hesitating for a while considering the interests.

"According to Secretary Luo, the feasibility of achieving the speed of light is It seems a little difficult, and the cost of Z particle clock is very expensive. In a few minutes, it can burn a device comparable to a small fusion reactor. Like using it as a medium, I'm afraid it's not a suitable choice. "

"Secretary Luo?" The old man was slightly stunned, frowned and said, "who is secretary Luo?"

Director Li's expression was a little embarrassed, he quickly explained.

"It's the Secretary-General of imcrc, who made a report in the press conference in place of Professor Lu some time ago."

"Oh, that young man It's a promising young man, "the old man continued, with a polite smile and a nod, a silence for a moment, and a serious expression But I still want to ask academician Lu's opinion. "

Director Li: "..."

Seeing that director Li didn't speak, the old man continued: "where is academician Lu now? If it's convenient, can you invite him to Beijing? Or I can go to Jinling. "

"This..." Thinking of the time when he closed the door before he left, director Li's face once again showed an embarrassed expression, "he may not be contacted now."

The elder was shocked and asked in a hurry.

"What's wrong with not being able to connect? Is he ill again? Is it serious? "

That's what happened last time controllable fusion ignited.

Just after the ignition was successful and before it was time to celebrate, Professor Lu passed out unconscious.

Later, I checked in 301 Hospital for a long time, but I couldn't find out what was wrong. Till now, there is a special department in 301 Hospital, which is responsible for studying what was wrong with his illness at that time."It's not that he's ill, I think he's very well," said director Li, looking at the concerned expression on the old man's face, "but as soon as the experiment is over, he's gone to close again..."
