Chapter 363 Capturing the Higgs Particle

"Wait a minute." Han Feng asked Wu Youli to stay in the Unimog RV, and he followed the energy transmission pipeline connected to the outside and came to the center of the entire underground space.

At this moment, the Large Hadron Collider naturally occupies the most central position of the entire space.

This Large Hadron Collider, which is built with three-pole low-temperature superconducting magnets and has a total length of 60 kilometers of circular tunnels, is exactly the goal of Han Feng's trip.

The working principle of this Large Hadron Collider is to launch two beams of high-energy particle streams from opposite directions through two different beam tubes.

At the same time, these two beam tubes maintained in an ultra-high vacuum state can allow the number of high-energy particles in the two beams to move at a speed close to the speed of light. These two beams of high-energy particles can go around in the electromagnetic cyclotron accelerator of the Large Hadron Collider in just a few microseconds.

The entire beam of high-energy particles can go around more than 5,000 times in the cyclotron accelerator with a length of 60 kilometers in just one second.

After these two high-energy particle beams collided with each other at a speed close to the speed of light, the energy generated can smash an electron with an energy of 500 billion electron volts with a positron, thus producing a Higgs particle.

At this moment, the Large Hadron Collider with this 60-kilometer circular tunnel is lying quietly in this unmanned secret base.

Han Feng looked at the Large Hadron Collider that was completely silent in front of him, and roughly understood why the parties involved in the Spark Project would be so generous to reveal this location to him.

The parties involved in the Spark Project took into account the complexity of restarting the small nuclear reactor and the useless nature of the Large Hadron Collider after the outbreak of the doomsday virus, so they readily handed over the location of this secret base located underground in the old site of the Atomic City to him.

If other forces want to restart the small nuclear reactor and get the Large Hadron Collider back in operation, it is indeed a difficult task.

But for the Unimog RV with a miniature nuclear reactor, this is not a very difficult task.

Han Feng directly directed Wu Youli to drive the Unimog RV to the right side of the Large Hadron Collider.

When the RV slowly stopped, Han Feng removed the interface of the energy pipeline originally connected to the small nuclear reactor installed on the Large Hadron Collider, and connected the energy pipeline to the Unimog RV.

"Buzz!"

After receiving the energy supplied by the Unimog RV, the Large Hadron Collider made a light sound. The machine that had stopped running long ago seemed to come alive again and slowly restarted.

As the buzzing sound sounded, the lights on the Hadron Collider also lit up again, and the huge fuselage of seven or eight stories high also made a roar.

"Fortunately, I only need to restart the Large Hadron Collider, and I don't need to analyze specific data." Han Feng looked at the densely packed buttons on the side of the Large Hadron Collider and felt dizzy.

It took him about four or five minutes to find a red button with a "start" label from the densely packed buttons.

"Victory or defeat depends on this one time."

Han Feng took a deep breath and directly pressed the red start button.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

When the red start button was pressed, the roar inside the Large Hadron Collider was countless times louder than before. Obviously, this huge machine, which was seven or eight stories high, had been fully activated and entered the working state.

With the start of the Large Hadron Collider, two beams of high-energy particles were simultaneously shot out from the particle emission channel of the Large Hadron Collider.

After these two high-energy particle beams were shot out and entered the corresponding particle beam tubes, the superconducting magnets near the beam tubes created a super-strong magnetic field, allowing the high-energy particle beams to continuously accelerate around the beam tubes.

At the same time, the liquid nitrogen systems in the cyclotron accelerator were also started synchronously. The ultra-low temperature of minus 271 degrees continuously cooled the corresponding magnets, allowing these magnets to remain in a superconducting state.

When the Large Hadron Collider was successfully started, Han Feng quietly returned to the Unimog RV. Now all he could do was wait quietly.

Although the two high-energy particle beams in the cyclotron can travel more than 5,000 times per second in the 60-kilometer-long cyclotron, the probability of the two high-energy particle beams colliding in each circle is like two toothpicks distributed in a vast space of 10 kilometers. The probability of collision is extremely small.

The Large Hadron Collider can only rely on the high-energy particle beams to circle around and around in the cyclotron, and through the accumulation of countless numbers, trigger the possibility of the two high-energy particle beams colliding.

Wu Youli, who was originally staying in the Unimog RV, returned to the co-pilot seat and sat still after seeing Han Feng start the huge machine in front of him.

She could only turn her head and whispered, "Is there anything we need to do now?"

Han Feng, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, raised his head, glanced at Wu Youli beside him, and said only one word: "Wait!"

As time passed slowly, Han Feng and Wu Youli had already enjoyed two dinners in this secret base under the old site of the Atomic City.

The Large Hadron Collider in front of them still made a 'buzzing' sound, and the two high-energy particle beams in the cyclotron accelerator were still like two parallel lines that could never intersect, and it seemed that there was no possibility of collision at all.

But just when Han Feng closed his eyes again and prepared to rest, the long-lost electronic sound in his mind rang again.

"The Higgs particle has been detected. The mechanical core has completed the capture of the Higgs particle. The mechanical core breakthrough mission has been completed. The mechanical core level is being upgraded. The countdown is 60 minutes. During this period, the fusion of the mechanical core and the Unimog RV cannot be used."

"It will take longer to upgrade the mechanical core level this time." Han Feng learned from the emotionless electronic sound that the upgrade time of the mechanical core reached 60 minutes. He first sighed, and then cast his eyes on Wu Youli who was sleeping on the small bed.

Although Wu Youli said that she could hand over her life to Han Feng at any time.

However, for such a major secret as the upgrade of the mechanical core, Han Feng decided not to let Wu Youli know for the time being.

His ghostly figure instantly appeared at the head of Wu Youli's bed and pressed the aorta on the neck of the sleeping Wu Youli.

After the aorta was pressed, Wu Youli naturally fainted without a trace of consciousness.

When Han Feng carried the fainted Wu Youli down from the Unimog RV, the upgrade of the mechanical core officially began.
