"We don’t know when Ola will complete its evolution. During this time, we need to send out teams to constantly attack its Insect Nest!" suggested Cui Weimin, "If there’s a plan to eliminate it before it completes its plan, that would be best."
Kong Qing was about to speak when he received a message and said, "The experiment is about to begin, I’ll log off first."
"Alright!" Everyone knew he was conducting an important experiment—a particle collision experiment.
During the war, scientific research not only did not stop, but it continued to speed up.
Shanhai Pass, the Particle Collision Experiment Facility, the giant circular particle collider has been completed.
By using the energy output of nuclear fusion and accelerating with a ring-shaped magnetic field, particle beams are made to collide. The greater their kinetic energy, the more thorough the collision.
When particles collide at the speed of light, their microscopic structure will be completely shattered. At this time, humans use microscopic detection equipment to search for micro particles and energy.
"Teacher, everything is ready," said student Xu Tengbin, still with a calm expression.
Kong Qing looked at him and asked, "You don’t seem very interested?"
Xu Tengbin didn’t speak. Kong Qing smiled and said, "Do you think everything we’re doing now is futile, and human civilization will eventually perish?"
He could see that although Xu Tengbin was very talented, he wasn’t very interested in doing anything, even somewhat pessimistic.
Xu Tengbin did not hide his feelings and said, "During my time with the Noah Science Society, everything I saw and heard told me that I discovered the Zerg not only have a higher life level than us, but their mastery of scientific and technological advancements is also greater."
"We are too far behind, and even if we keep researching, we can’t keep up with their rate of evolution. The Planet Dominator is about to appear, and we’re just doing futile work."
"So you’ve given up?" Kong Qing asked.
Xu Tengbin said nothing.
Kong Qing did not blame him but said, "Do you know? In the early stages of the Catastrophe Era, the whole world questioned what the Xuanwu Plan was about. Why would we do this instead of choosing to flee into outer space with the Noah Science Society?"
"At that time, no one wavered, we still stuck to our views. Later you saw that the Noah Science Society was merely a tool for the Zerg, while we became the only surviving nation in a disaster. We not only protected our citizens but also founded the Blue Star Alliance to guard all of humanity."
"Could we have achieved this if we had doubted from the start?"
Xu Tengbin still said nothing.
Kong Qing continued, "Doing anything doesn’t necessarily need a satisfactory result. The process alone is mesmerizing!"
"Let them begin!" he said.
"Okay." Xu Tengbin immediately notified all departments and said, "All departments start self-checking. The particle collision experiment starts in three hours!"
"Received!" All departments began to act.
"Ultra-vacuum pipeline check completed, no malfunctions."
"Energy output system check completed, no malfunctions."
"Magnetic acceleration device check completed, no malfunctions."
"Particle emitter device checking underway..."
Kong Qing listened to reports from each department, full of anticipation. Xu Tengbin noticed that his face was glowing, almost as if he had returned to his youth.
But he understood in his heart that Kong Qing’s body was already overburdened, and this kind of excitement state was definitely not normal.
"Teacher, do you want to rest for a while?" Xu Tengbin asked with concern.
"No need," Kong Qing said, "I understand my body."
He seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Xu Tengbin, "Physics believes that the universe has four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetic interaction force, weak interaction force, and strong interaction force."
"We already know how to explain and use gravity and electromagnetic force, but we know very little about weak interaction force and strong interaction force."
"Earlier physicists proposed the gauge field theory, which provided a unified mathematical formal framework for quantum electrodynamics, weak interactions, and strong interactions—the Standard Model."
"According to this model, physicists deduce that there is a kind of Higgs boson among micro particles, which is a spin-zero boson, without charge or color charge, extremely unstable, and decays immediately after being generated."
"The quantum field named the Higgs field causes spontaneous symmetry breaking, and gives mass to gauge propagators and fermions. The Higgs particle is the quantum excitation of the Higgs field, obtaining mass through self-interaction."
"Whether the Higgs boson exists determines whether the Standard Model is correct and determines whether humans can rely on this theory to control the three fundamental forces: strong force, weak force, and electromagnetic force!"
"So the Higgs boson is also called the God Particle. Once we control the God Particle, humanity will have mastered a great law of the universe!"
"This experiment, we will prove this point!"
Kong Qing became more and more excited, "As long as we can find the God Particle, human civilization will usher in another new era!"
Xu Tengbin nodded. He naturally knew this, and he knew also that Kong Qing was working on a physical model that could convert electromagnetic force into strong force according to the Standard Model of quantum physics!
Once this discovery is completed, humans can use the strong force to create more powerful technological inventions and weapons!
It can surpass all existing weapons! Almost reaching the weapon strength a Second-level Civilization can possess!
Therefore, the success or failure of the experiment is crucial!
A few hours later, the departments reported: "Self-check completed, ready to start the experiment."
