Chapter 1372: Chapter 654: Respectable Elders_2
Even the computational power of computers is finite; analyzing data from a fifty million fold space compression is already a "theoretical state".
In fact, the experimental conclusion is that under conventional computational capabilities, the maximum detectable compression is only about forty-three million fold.
The first phase of research ended here, relatively successful because they figured out how to detect the rate of Z-Wave Compression, it’s just that the ten million level limit means that space shuttling cannot be done "too quickly".
The Z-wave Generator of the spacecraft is designed to release compression of one hundred astronomical units, with a compression rate reaching tens of billions, which means traveling a distance of one hundred and fifty billion kilometers in ten seconds at the speed of one thousand five hundred kilometers per second.
Of course, that’s the theoretical top speed.
The normal cruising speed of a spacecraft is only in the range of tens of kilometers per second, but the energy level of the Z-wave Generator can support a compression rate in the tens of billions.
Only a compression rate of tens of billions and above can support "light-year style" rapid crossings, even accomplishing intergalactic travel.
Being able to detect only fifty million fold greatly limits the use of the spacecraft’s Z-wave Generators and space shuttling capabilities.
Of course.
A fifty million fold compression rate is still quite fast within the Solar System, reaching Mars in a few seconds at the speed of one kilometer per second.
But that’s how research progress goes, to detect higher compression rates, one must look for other methods.
Zhao Yi summarized, "We will first summarize, record, and analyze this phase of the research, and begin designing the content for the next stage."
"In the next phase, we will collaborate with the High Energy Institute, which possesses advanced Neutron Beam generation technology."
"Neutron Beam research is the work we will undertake."
"Analyzing the changes of neutron beams under high compression rates, mainly involves analyzing the changes in magnetic fields. This kind of detection is relatively complex; everyone consider it carefully and come up with a design."
"The thoughts of everyone are important; perhaps there will be relatively simple and direct methods."
Zhao Yi summarized seriously.
Particles become active when compressed and also emit magnetic fields to resist greater spatial compression, so the change in the particle’s emitted magnetic field in relation to the space compression rate is also a subject of study and analysis.
However, researching the changes in the magnetic field of particle beams is not easy; there are two difficulties, one being that Neutron Beams are hard to control and have a relatively short propagation distance.
The other is that the changes in the magnetic field emitted by a beam of particles require a very delicate and ingenious design to be detectable.
After completing the first phase of research, Zhao Yi realized that subsequent studies had become much more challenging, and continuing to produce results was not an easy task.
The more stable the nature of the particles, the greater the constraint and detection difficulty.
For example, photons.
Photon beams are the easiest to produce and the most stable, yet they are almost impossible to constrain. In a high space compression environment, even if a change in properties occurs, it is essentially impossible to detect.
Now one understands why large particle colliders are built.
To study microscopic particles, a large experimental environment is required. The larger the experiments, the easier it is to draw conclusions.
In a small laboratory, many studies simply cannot proceed.
If undertaken on a large planet, constructing and recharging the entire planet as an experimental site, one could truly use the planet’s gravity as a condition for experimentation, and definitely uncover more secrets of particles.
If in the process of an experiment, an intense reaction of space and particles occurs, creating a particle with an ultra-high compression rate, it’s like artificially creating a tiny black hole, which would be a perfect experiment.
At that time, many secrets of microphysics will be unearthed.
Zhao Yi thought carefully and suddenly understood why some science fiction stories have ’waste planets’.
If one delves deeper, one finds the existence of waste planets as garbage dumping grounds is utterly nonsensical.
No matter how poor the environment of a planet, if it can support human life, it is very precious; how could such a planet be used as a landfill?
Landfills can be anywhere. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
For example, on planets without an atmosphere, one could directly dump garbage on them without any problems.
These types of planets are everywhere in the universe.
Now Zhao Yi understands: waste planets are not dedicated to storing garbage; perhaps they were originally ’experimental planets’, supporting the development of technology to explore the universe and galaxies, definitely necessitating very large experimental sites.
These planets might have originally been experimental sites, but after experiments rendered them irreparably damaged, no longer suitable for long-term human habitation, they were abandoned to store trash.
Zhao Yi pondered with a wry smile and shook his head.
Now, the thought of having a planet as an experimental base is just a dream.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, six months had passed.
The small spacecraft, via the space corridor and with people onboard, had its experimental missions to and from Mars scheduled, because the construction of the spacecraft was completed.
The work that follows is to keep testing and calibrating the data, making final preparations.
