The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Pang Xuelin is very interested in neutrino detectors, to be precise, he is very interested in neutrinos.

The discovery of neutrinos is related to the famous beta decay energy theft case in history.

In the 1920s, physicists discovered that neutrons lose energy as they decay into protons and electrons (beta decay).

At that time, Niels Bohr, the originator of the Copenhagen School, believed that the loss of energy in the process of β decay indicated the failure of the law of conservation of energy.

In the spring of 1931, the International Conference on Nuclear Physics was held in Rome. At that time, the world's top nuclear physicists gathered together, including Heisenberg, Pauli, and Marie Curie.

Pauli proposed at the meeting that the law of conservation of energy is still true during beta decay, and that the reason for the loss of energy is that the neutron, as a massive neutral particle, becomes a proton, an electron, and a mass during the decay process Small neutral particles, it's this low-mass particle that takes the energy away.

The energy-stealing "thief" predicted by Pauli is the neutrino.

However, in the physics community at that time, there was no experiment that could prove the existence of neutrinos.

Until 1956, American physicists such as Kirwan and Reines directly detected neutrinos through experiments for the first time.

Neutrinos also showed their true colors in front of the world for the first time.

Neutrino is a kind of lepton, and it is one of the most basic particles that make up nature. Neutrino has no charge, extremely small mass, spin is 1/2, and the mass is very light (some are less than electrons in millionths) One), moving at close to the speed of light, interacts with other substances very weakly, hardly interacts with other substances, and exists widely in nature.

It can freely pass through the human body, walls, mountains and even entire planets, and is difficult to capture and detect, so it is called the "invisible man" in the universe.

The nuclear reaction involving weak interaction inside the sun will produce 1038 neutrinos per second, which flow unimpeded from the sun to space. Every second, 1,000 trillion neutrinos from the sun pass through each of us, even at night when the sun is on the other side of the earth.

In the standard model proposed later, there are 12 kinds of the most basic particles that make up the material world, including 6 kinds of quarks (up, down, strange, charm, bottom, top quark, each quark has three colors, and all the above quarks and antiquarks), 3 charged leptons (electron, muon, and tau) and 3 neutrinos (electron, muon, and tau neutrinos), and each neutrino Each particle has its corresponding antimatter.

But at present, there are still many mysteries in neutrinos.

First, the neutrino's mass has not been directly measured, and its size is also unknown.

Second, it is not known whether the neutrino and its antiparticle, the antineutrino, are the same particle.

Third, there are still two parameters of neutrino oscillation that have not been measured, and these two parameters may be related to the mystery of the lack of antimatter in the universe.

Fourth, whether neutrinos have magnetic moments and so on.

In the real world, as long as one of these questions can be answered, the Nobel Prize is basically within reach.

...

It took Pang Xuelin a week to complete a hundred papers, but he found that there were more questions accumulated in his mind.

The world's research on neutrinos is far more in-depth than he imagined.

He had to put the neutrino detector business aside and refocus on the mission.

Fortunately, the world is not much ahead of the real world in research on quantum computers and artificial intelligence.

Therefore, the network of this world is one-way transparent to the MOSS loaded on the quantum computer.

By invading CIA, FBI databases, and information obtained from the dark web, Pang Xuelin has basically mastered the general information of Uncle Werner's drug trafficking network.

In addition, he has a better understanding of the US military's "Poseidon" plan.

Since David Hopkins left the research institute of the US military,

The U.S. Navy did not completely terminate the "Poseidon" project, but still maintained a small research team.

At present, this team is affiliated with the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and their experimental base is actually located in a bay not far from Los Angeles.

There are also more than a dozen dolphins and sharks that have been installed with electrodes and control systems in the base.

...

evening a week later.

"Professor Pang, this is what I found about David Hopkins and Werner Jr. through surveillance and the Internet. Werner Jr. posted a reward on the dark web a week ago. A neutrino detector, a route to safely enter the United States, the reward amount is as high as 50 million US dollars, and I also found out the account of David Hopkins active on the dark web, he seems to be trying to use the blue whale controlled by himself' Poseidon's making a lot of money, but he hasn't found a suitable method at the moment. I guess it won't be long before Hopkins should be able to see Werner's bounty."

Pang Xuelin nodded. The novel did not explain how Hopkins got in touch with Werner Jr. After such an investigation by MOSS, Pang Xuelin understood.

Although David Hopkins is currently a professor of marine biology at the California Institute of Technology, he is not well-known in the academic circle, and marine biology is not a popular major. Therefore, David Hopkins' income is relatively limited .

But not long ago, his wife divorced him and took away a large amount of property.

As a result, Hopkins' financial situation is so tight that it's getting close to not having a credit card.

It just so happened that Werner Jr. posted such a message on the dark web. After David Hopkins saw it, his heartbeat was normal.

Pang Xuelin bowed his head in thought, he was thinking about the next action plan.

In order to complete the system tasks, there are mainly two problems as follows.

One, how to destroy Werner's yacht.

It is simply unrealistic for Pang Xuelin to sneak in and launch an attack like a special forces frogman.

Secondly, how to gain control of "Poseidon", the latter is even more important than the former.

Because according to Pang Xuelin's plan, "Poseidon" will play a vital role in destroying Werner's yacht.

It's just that until now, MOSS has not found the control method of "Poseidon" in Werner's computer, or even any information related to "Poseidon", so if you want to get "Poseidon", kill Certainly not David Hopkins, you'll have to find another way.

"MOSS, you first take over Hopkins' computer so that he can't browse Werner's bounty on the dark web. At the same time, you also post a bounty similar to Werner's on the dark web, and then let David Hopkins saw."

MOSS: "Professor Pang, are you planning to fish for law enforcement?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "Yes, it's fishing law enforcement."
