Chapter 830: For the Sake of Research, My Heart Encompasses the Universe (Research-Focused, Feel Free to Skip)
In the Superheavy Nuclear Stability Island Element Theory, the reason why the current world differs from Earth, and why there are wizards, spells, and extraordinary power, is mainly because the current world possesses superheavy nuclear stable island elements that do not exist on Earth.
The atomic numbers of these elements are extremely high, beyond the limits of scientific research on Earth. According to the Bohr model calculations, the speed of the electrons inside exceeds the speed of light, resulting in relativistic effects. Calculations based on the Dirac equation form a situation akin to the Klein paradox, thus possessing various magical effects.
These elements are distributed externally at a certain density, known as Free Energy Elements. People with talent can absorb them into their bodies through meditation, and through further meditation, they transform into Mana.
As Mana undergoes specific operations and is released outward, it restores to Free Energy Elements to react. Like chemical reactions, different types and proportions of Free Energy Elements interact, resulting in varied effects, thus creating various spells.
After a spell is cast, the reaction of Free Energy Elements loses some energy, thereby decaying into non-superheavy nuclear stable island elements, which are ordinary elements.
These ordinary elements, after absorbing energy from special Star Body Projections outside, will restore to Free Energy Elements, waiting to be used again, forming a material cycle.
The reason Earth is different from the current world is that there are no special stars capable of projecting specific energy, hence it is a frigid scientific world without extraordinary power.
This is the Superheavy Nuclear Stability Island Theory.
Thinking of this, Richard took a deep breath.
This theory is his attempt to explain part of the operational mechanisms of the current world's power system from an earthly scientific perspective.
Because the explanation is coherent, he was later able to boldly implement many Earth methods in the current world, gaining a tremendous advantage that others did not have, gradually achieving everything he has now.
In a sense, the Superheavy Nuclear Stability Island Theory represents the three laws of classical mechanics he established upon entering the extraordinary world.
As with the foundational "three laws of classical mechanics", his rapid research progress owes greatly, allowing him to achieve numerous accomplishments.
However, the three laws of classical mechanics have flaws, or rather, their scope of application is limited, failing in microscopic (quantum-sized) and high-speed (close to light-speed) domains, requiring quantum mechanics or relativity for explanation.
The Superheavy Nuclear Stability Island Theory has flaws as well, existing from its inception and has now become extremely apparent. Although one could reluctantly continue using this theory to guide various research, the best approach is to timely patch up the flaws and create a new theory to fill the gaps.
What is the flaw in the Superheavy Nuclear Stability Island Theory?
The most obvious point is the inability to explain the radiation problem during the decay process.
Decay involves radiation, decay involves radiation, decay involves radiation.
Important things are said thrice.
When a heavy element decays into a lighter element, it certainly releases excess particles, some are negligible, but others have undeniable hazards.
If the Superheavy Nuclear Stability Island Element Theory is correct, then under this theory, wizard apprentices and wizards, due to frequent use of spells, would accumulate a large amount of decayed particles on themselves, ultimately turning them into strong radiation sources.
In the short term, there might be no harm, but over time problems will inevitably occur.
Even if a few individuals with special constitutions can resist, once the numbers grow, there will inevitably be unlucky ones who succumb to radiation.
But the problem is, no wizard apprentice or wizard in the current world exhibits this situation — the decay-produced radiation somehow disappeared without a trace.
This is very magical.
At the same time, it's very critical.
If a theory contains unexplained content, it cannot be considered perfect.
So, what is going on here?
Why does the decay-produced radiation not exist?
Is it because the current world's elements lack radiation particles?
This is impossible!
Radiation particles are key components of atomic nuclei, if they didn't exist, the existence of elements would also be impossible, and consequently the entire material world would cease to exist.
"Hoo—"
Thinking of this, Richard took another deep breath.
Rather than concluding that the current world's elements lack radiation particles, he is more inclined to believe the elements possess an extraordinary particle not found on Earth.
It is these particles that neutralize the radiation during the decay process of superheavy nuclear stable island elements, allowing the wizards of the current world to freely harness this extraordinary energy not found on Earth, thus leading to a world brimming with diverse prolific spells!
And if these extraordinary particles truly exist, they should be manifested equally in ordinary elements outside the superheavy nuclear stable island elements.
In fact, during the recent test of uranium ore powder samples, he found the radiation intensity of uranium ore to be nearly half lower than Earth's standards.
This does not rule out that some overlooked factor impacted the results, but if there was no error, and it reflects the true situation, it could explain the existence of extraordinary particles — it's the extraordinary particles neutralizing some of the radiation particles, thus reducing the radiation intensity of the uranium ore powder samples compared to Earth's standards.
Extraordinary particles are key to completing the "Superheavy Nuclear Stability Island Element Theory", and summarizing the "relativity" or "quantum mechanics" of the current world's power system.
The most crucial reason for his research and production of nuclear weapons is to unravel these extraordinary particles.
However, deciphering these extraordinary particles and understanding their essence is not easy, as they are a microscopic substance on the 10^-15m scale.
A major challenge in breaking through is the issue of equipment.
The current world has no high-energy synchrotrons, no large hadron colliders, and no supercomputers.
After all, this is not Earth.
Therefore, studying microscopic materials at the 10^-15m scale, exploring their properties and achievable reactions is nearly impossible.
What to do when it's impossible?
Give up immediately?
Sorry, that's not a researcher's mindset.
One of the tasks of a researcher is to make the impossible possible.
The reaction of microscopic materials at the 10^-15m level is indeed un-researchable, because the size is too small. So, by increasing the quantity of microscopic materials, the scale level can be increased.
If a single particle is unobservable, increase it to ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or near-infinite particles.
When a vast number of microscopic particles react at the 10^-15m level in an extremely short time, the effects manifested can serve as a reference for research.
So, how do you cause a vast number of microscopic particles to react at the 10^-15m level in an extremely short time?
The answer is simple — nuclear weapons!
Yes, nuclear weapons!
When a nuclear weapon is dropped from high altitude, amid the explosive roar tearing through space, emitting a light brighter than thousands of Suns, at its core, it's a multitude of particles reacting at the 10^-15m level.
This is why he wants to research and manufacture nuclear weapons!
And what will he gain if he truly understands it?
The answer is... a universe!
Yes, a universe!
