Chapter 1431: Start the Search for Dragon Balls
To further analyze the microscopic world of Dragon Ball, Ivan turned to the powerful analytical tool of nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR).
NMR technology reveals the structural information inside molecules, including the type of chemical bonds, the spatial configuration of molecules, and the dynamic behavior of molecules, by detecting the energy level transitions of atomic nuclei in an external magnetic field.
For complex and unknown samples such as Dragon Ball, the application of NMR is particularly critical.
After careful preparation, Ivan placed the Dragon Ball in a strong magnetic field and carefully adjusted the frequency of the radio frequency wave to stimulate the resonance of the atomic nuclei inside the Dragon Ball.
As the data continued to accumulate, the NMR spectrum gradually emerged, revealing the amazing complexity inside the Dragon Ball molecule.
Ivan discovered that there is a very rare chemical bond on Earth in Dragon Ball - metal-metal bond, which usually only appears under extreme conditions or in specific types of compounds. Its existence indicates that Dragon Ball may contain one or more unknown high-performance materials.
In addition, NMR also hints at the highly ordered structure that may exist inside the molecule, which may be closely related to the special function of Dragon Ball.
Ivan's excitement was beyond words. He realized that Dragon Ball was not only a mysterious tool for making wishes, but also a window to the unknown.
Through in-depth research on Dragon Ball, humans may be able to unlock the technological secrets of alien civilizations and even discover new forms of energy beyond current cognition.
This prospect shocked Ivan and strengthened his determination to continue exploring.
In terms of electromagnetic experiments, Ivan used sophisticated electromagnetic measurement equipment to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the electromagnetic wave emission characteristics of Dragon Ball.
He found that Dragon Ball can emit a weak electromagnetic wave with a unique wavelength. This wave is different from common electromagnetic waves such as radio waves, visible light, X-rays, and gamma rays. It belongs to an understudied area in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The wavelength of this electromagnetic wave released by Dragon Ball is between microwaves and far-infrared waves, a frequency band called "terahertz waves".
The electromagnetic waves in this area have long been relatively neglected in scientific research because they are difficult to generate and detect, but they have unique properties such as strong penetration and sensitivity to material structure.
The terahertz waves emitted by the dragon ball have extremely high frequency stability and carry a certain information pattern, which is completely different from the electromagnetic waves randomly generated in nature, suggesting the possibility of a non-natural source.
This discovery not only means that the dragon ball has some form of electromagnetic activity, but also may mean that it can interact with the outside world in some form through electromagnetic means.
"If the dragon ball can emit electromagnetic waves, then theoretically we can use radar to detect it."
Ivan's eyes flickered.
In order to verify the idea of using radar to detect the dragon ball, Ivan began to design a customized radar system.
This system not only requires the ability to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves in the terahertz band, but also needs to have high-resolution imaging capabilities to accurately track the position and dynamics of the dragon ball.
He introduced phased array radar technology, which electronically controls the emission and reception phases of multiple antenna units to achieve multi-angle simultaneous scanning of the target, greatly improving the detection accuracy and flexibility of the radar system.
In terms of elemental analysis, Ivan's work is also meticulous. The use of a mass spectrometer allows him to analyze the chemical composition of the dragon ball accurately to the atomic level.
The atoms or molecules in the dragon ball sample are ionized into ions through an ion source, and then these ions are accelerated and separated by electric or magnetic fields, forming a specific mass spectrum according to their different mass-to-charge ratios (m/z).
This process not only reveals that dragon balls contain basic elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, but also detects the presence of trace metal elements such as iron and silicon, which are usually associated with complex organic structures or biomineralization.
The application of energy scattering spectrometers provides key clues to understanding how these elements are organized inside dragon balls.
When X-rays or high-energy electron beams are irradiated on dragon ball samples, they interact with the atoms in the sample, causing elastic scattering (i.e., Rayleigh scattering) and inelastic scattering (such as Compton scattering, Auger electron emission, etc.).
By analyzing the energy distribution and angular distribution of scattered light, Ivan can infer the chemical state of the element (such as oxidation state), chemical bond type (covalent bond, ionic bond, etc.) and molecular structure information.
The results show that the chemical bond network inside the dragon ball is extremely complex, with a large number of conjugated systems, ring structures and special stereoisomers, which are far beyond the level of organic matter formed under natural conditions.
This explains why the physical and chemical properties of dragon balls are completely different from ordinary substances.
Ivan noticed that although the elemental composition of dragon balls seems ordinary, there is amazing complexity and functionality hidden inside them, which may be carefully designed and manufactured by alien civilizations through highly advanced scientific and technological means.
"Are there really aliens in this world?"
Ivan asked silently in his heart. Although he has personally measured these strange properties of dragon balls, he still can't believe it.
After all, so far, no planet with life has been found in the known universe observed by humans.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one look!
The earth and human society seem so lonely and small in this vast universe, as if they are lucky people who are particularly favored by fate.
Although the elemental composition of Dragon Ball seems ordinary, the complexity and functionality of its molecular structure are extremely amazing, which may point to the design of some advanced intelligence.
Although the possibility of alien civilization sounds incredible, human understanding of life in the vast universe is far from enough.
Considering the age and scale of the universe, and the vast areas we have not yet explored, the loneliness of life on Earth seems to be becoming increasingly difficult to survive.
Ivan began to collect theories and hypotheses about alien civilizations and interstellar communication, among which the Fermi Paradox is particularly thought-provoking: If alien civilizations are common, why haven't we found any traces of them so far?
Perhaps Dragon Ball is one of the key clues to solving this mystery.
It may be made or abandoned by alien civilizations for some purpose. Its unique electromagnetic properties and complex chemical structure may be for interacting with specific environments or life forms.
He began to think, if Dragon Ball is really the product of alien civilization, then why did it appear on Earth? Did it fall accidentally, or as a medium for some kind of communication information?
"I hope it will work anyway."
Ivan Vanko built the radar in just one day.
