Chapter 912 Weak Nuclear Force

Four fundamental forces.

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

The four forces are: gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak force, and strong force.

The strong interaction force is the strong nuclear force.

The weak force is the weak nuclear force.

Whether it is Yang Yuping, Fang Yuan, or other scientists in physics and material science of the Academy of Military Sciences, they are no strangers to the strong nuclear force.

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

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

If there is a downside to strong nuclear force materials, it is that they are too difficult to manufacture.

Yang Yuping once felt that for hundreds or even thousands of years, human beings would not encounter weapons capable of penetrating strong nuclear materials.

However, when Fang Yuan put the damaged piece of strong nuclear force armor in front of him, it broke the thought in his heart.

If you look at it with the naked eye, the piece of strong nuclear force armor that Fang Yuan sent back is actually still very complete, and the naked eye can't tell whether it is damaged or not.

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

For the army generals present, there is no need to understand what the weak nuclear force is. For them, the key is whether the strong nuclear force can penetrate the strong nuclear force material.

"Professor, do you mean that the star beast civilization can emit rays containing weak nuclear force to penetrate the protective layer of strong nuclear force? question.

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 the action process of this weak nuclear force ray has not been observed.

"Therefore, I can only say that the weak nuclear force is a force that causes radioactive elements to decay in nature.

"More precisely, the weak nuclear force affects radioactive decay, causing a neutron to decay into a proton, an electron and an antineutrino.

"therefore,

The weak nuclear force is theoretically possible to break the microstructure of strong nuclear force materials, but the specific mode of action has not yet been determined. "

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

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

The same is true for strong nuclear force materials, which have reached a balance of force, so the microstructure is stable, and even a nuclear bomb explosion 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 microscopic particles, then the microscopic structure will naturally change.

The decay of radioactive elements is driven by the weak nuclear force.

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

After Fang Yuan listened to the old professor's explanation, although he didn't fully understand it, he already knew the general theory, and asked:

"That is to say, the gamma rays ejected by the crack snake can affect the weak nuclear force of the microscopic particles of matter, thus causing the microscopic structure of the particles to be unstable and decay. Is this what you mean?"

Yang Yuping nodded and replied: "From the current experimental results, it is so. 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 produced by the decay of microscopic particles when the microscopic structure of strong nuclear force materials is destroyed."

Fang Yuan frowned, and asked again: "But materials with strong nuclear force are not radioactive substances."

Yang Yuping continued to explain: "Whether a substance is radioactive is not determined by the substance itself. The same element has different isotopes, some are radioactive, and some are not.

"The reason is that the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is different, which leads to the 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 weak nuclear force inside the nucleus of matter, then the originally non-radioactive material may also become radioactive."

The back of Fang Yuan's head went numb when he heard it.

Everyone present, the more people who understand basic physics, the more frightening this discovery is.

Let's put it in a more straightforward way.

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

Then any substance can be made to decay, whether it is rocks, materials with strong nuclear force, or even elements in the human body.

Fang Yuan thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Professor, what you said makes me feel that this weak nuclear force is somewhat similar to the ability of '235U'."

Yang Yuping nodded, and replied: "That's right, there is indeed a bit of similarity, both of which are abilities that act on the nucleus.

"However, this kind of weak nuclear force rays from the Fissure Snake is even more terrifying.

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

"However, if the weak nuclear force ray of the cracked snake is effective for the strong nuclear force armor, then it can basically be considered that this kind of ray can cause the decay of all substances on the earth.

"It's the ability to change matter on a microscopic level.

"If we want to divide into a level, then the level of weak nuclear force rays must be the same level as that of strong nuclear force materials. The level of civilization should be at least 1.9.

"It is for this reason that I mentioned in the report that I need to re-evaluate the strength of the star beast civilization."

The new discovery of this weak nuclear force ray has a huge impact on science.

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

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

"The key is how powerful the star beast civilization is. Is it possible for the human army to be attacked by a large-scale weak nuclear force ray?"

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

"However, judging from the experiments of developing strong nuclear force materials in the laboratory, such weak nuclear force rays must consume a lot of energy."
