v4 Chapter 912： Weak nuclear power

Four basic forces.

This is the current frontier of human basic physics. It is believed that there are four basic forces in nature, and other forces are different manifestations of these four forces.

These four forces are: universal gravitation, electromagnetic interaction force, weak interaction force, and strong interaction force.

Strong interaction force is also strong nuclear force.

The weak interaction force is a weak nuclear force.

Whether it is Yang Yuping, Fang Yuan, or other scientists in physics and materials science of the Academy of Military Sciences, they are all familiar with strong nuclear power.

Because Yang Yuping's strong nuclear material laboratory has already produced strong nuclear materials.

For a long time in the past, many scientists, including Yang Yuping, believed that materials with strong nuclear power were invincible in war.

If there is any shortcoming of strong nuclear materials, it is that it is too difficult to manufacture.

Yang Yuping felt that for hundreds or even thousands of years, mankind would not have encountered weapons capable of piercing through powerful nuclear materials.

However, when Fang Yuan put the damaged piece of strong nuclear armor in front of him, he broke this idea in his heart.

If you look at it with the naked eye, the powerful nuclear armor piece Fang Yuan sent back is still intact, and you can't tell whether it's damaged or not.

However, after testing with scanning tunneling microscopes and other equipment, it was found that the microstructure of this strong nuclear nail was destroyed.

For the military generals present, there is no need to understand what weak nuclear power is. For them, the key is whether strong nuclear power can penetrate materials with strong nuclear power.

"Professor, what do you mean is that Star Beast Civilization can launch rays containing weak nuclear power to penetrate the protective layer of strong nuclear power, does that mean?" A military staff member grasped the key points and asked what the headquarters is most concerned about problem.

Yang Yuping nodded, shook his head again, and replied: "The specific mode of action cannot be determined for the time being, because there are no more samples and no observation of the process of such weak nuclear force rays.

"Therefore, I can only say that weak nuclear power is a force that decays radioactive elements in nature.

"To be more precise, weak nuclear force affects radioactive decay, causing a neutron to decay into a proton, an electron and an antineutrino.

"Therefore, weak nuclear force is a theoretical possibility to break the microstructure of strong nuclear force materials, but the specific mode of action is still uncertain."

In nature, in every nucleus, there are strong and weak nuclear forces.

The balance of the two forces ensures the stable structure of the microscopic particles.

The same is true for materials with strong nuclear power, which have reached a balance of forces, so the microstructure is stable, and even the explosion of a nuclear bomb cannot destroy this structure.

However, if the star beast civilization has a way to change the weak nuclear force, resulting in an imbalance in the force of the microscopic particles, then the microstructure will naturally change.

The decay of radioactive elements is driven by weak nuclear power.

The reason for the decay of radioactive elements is that the strong and weak nuclear forces inside the radioactive elements are unbalanced, and the unstable atomic nucleus can reach a relatively stable state after emitting particles and energy.

After listening to the explanation of the old professor, Fang Yuan did not fully understand, but he already knew the general theory, and asked:

"That is to say, the gamma rays ejected by the cracked snake can affect the weak nuclear force of the microscopic particles of the material, which causes the microstructure of the particles to be unstable and decay. Does this mean?"

Yang Yuping nodded and replied: "From the current experimental results, this is the case. But the specific mode of action is still uncertain.

"Therefore, the high temperature that burns your shoulder may not be the energy of gamma rays, but the energy generated by the decay of microscopic particles when the microstructure of the strong nuclear material is destroyed."

Fang Yuan frowned and asked, "Materials with strong nuclear power are not radioactive substances."

Yang Yuping went on to explain: "Whether a substance is radioactive or not is not determined by the substance itself. The same element, different isotope, some are radioactive, and some are not.

"The reason is that the number of protons and neutrons inside the nucleus is different, which leads to an imbalance of the weak nuclear force inside the nucleus. It must decay and emit energy and particles to reach a stable state.

"If the star beast civilization really has the ability to change the size of the weak nuclear force inside the material nucleus, then the material that originally did not have radioactivity may also become radioactive material."

Fang Yuan's head was numb.

The people present, the more knowledgeable the basic physics, the more terrifying the discovery.

To put it more bluntly.

If the star beast civilization can really change the weak nuclear power inside matter.

Then any matter can be decayed, whether it is rocks, materials with strong nuclear power, or even elements in the human body.

Fang Yuan thought, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Professor, what you say makes me feel that this weak nuclear power is somewhat similar to the ‘235U’ ability."

Yang Yuping nodded and replied: "Yes, there is indeed a little similarity, and they are all abilities that act on the nucleus.

"However, the weak nuclear force rays of the rifting snake are more terrifying.

"Your '235U' is currently only effective against two radioactive elements.

"However, if the weak nuclear force rays of the Cleft Snake are effective against strong nuclear force armor plates, then it can basically be considered that this kind of rays can cause all matter on the earth to decay.

"This is the ability to change matter at the micro level.

"If there is a level, then the level of weak nuclear power rays must be the same level as the strong nuclear power materials. The civilization level is at least 1.9.

"It is for this reason that I mentioned in the report I submitted that the strength of the star beast civilization should be reassessed."

This new discovery of weak nuclear force rays has a huge impact on science.

However, whether it will have a huge impact on the war is not yet certain.

Admiral Rhodes was very calm and thought very clearly: "Professor, the decisive battle between humans and star beast civilization has arrived. This decisive battle is imperative, so the key now is not how powerful the weak nuclear power rays are.

"The key lies in how powerful the star beast civilization is, and whether the human army is likely to be attacked by large-scale weak nuclear rays?"

Yang Yuping immediately shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Although science must be rigorous, there is currently no data on the energy consumed by weak nuclear rays.

"However, judging from the laboratory's experiments to develop materials with strong nuclear power, such weak nuclear power rays must consume huge energy."
