One month later.
After repeated improvements and refinements, the experimental plan was successfully developed.
The entire experiment was conducted on a specially customized small starship.
The experimental ship is spindle-shaped, with concentric rings of facilities surrounding its exterior.
These ring-shaped structures are the tracks of the particle accelerator.
According to the experimental plan, the Chinese Academy of Sciences will conduct another high-energy particle collision experiment while traveling at faster-than-light speed.
Because the particle acceleration orbit on the experimental ship is relatively small and provides relatively weak acceleration energy, most of the particle acceleration work is carried out outside the starship.
With the construction of a super-large particle acceleration device using countless shipborne drones, protons will be accelerated to the speed of light (1-1/10^40).
These particles will then be sent into orbit around the experimental ship and maintain their speed under the influence of the magnetic field.
Next, the experimental ship will enter warp drive mode under the propulsion of the warp engine.
To prevent communication disruptions, the maximum travel speed was set at 10 times the speed of light.
The final step, and also the most crucial one.
As the particles collide, several high-energy laser generators will release high-energy lasers into the collision area.
The purpose of doing this is, of course, to provide as much energy as possible to the so-called tachyons, slowing their speed so that humans can observe them.
"Attention all units!"
"The tachyon observation experiment is now beginning!"
"Activate the shipborne UAV's magnetic field; particle acceleration begins now!"
After several checks to confirm that there were no oversights, the experiment was declared to have begun.
...
Similar to the previous particle acceleration, the entire acceleration process will take about a year.
One year later, in the year 3610 of the Earth calendar.
"Professor, the protons have successfully entered the experimental ship's orbit."
The moment the electronic synthesized sound started, the atmosphere in the laboratory instantly became tense.
The most crucial moment of the entire experiment has arrived!
"Activate the warp drive to propel the experimental ship into warp navigation mode!"
Lü Yongchang issued the order in a deep voice.
The next moment, the immense energy from the antimatter annihilation surged into the warp drive, and positive and negative gravitational fields were rapidly generated!
After a brief wait, the experimental ship disappeared from everyone's sight!
"The experimental ship has successfully entered warp drive mode. Current speed: 1.1c!"
"Communication status is normal, orbiting protons are operating normally, and the collider is functioning normally!"
Hearing the broadcast coming from not far away, Lü Yongchang breathed a long sigh of relief.
He didn't speak, but looked up at the holographic projection directly in front of him.
As time goes on, the numbers above continue to increase.
1.2c, 1.5c, 2c...
Finally, when the number stopped at 10c, Lü Yongchang's eyes instantly sharpened!
"The particle collision experiment is officially beginning!"
"High-energy laser generation unit, begin preheating!"
...
Two protons move toward each other under the influence of a magnetic field.
Finally, they successfully met in the central area of the collider.
A large amount of energy was released, and a miniature black hole appeared.
But soon, the miniature black hole, without any replenishment of resources, evaporated instantly, and dozens of high-energy laser beams struck the small collision zone directly.
The collision experiment is over.
A massive influx of data poured into the Earth's central computer via the communication link, and with Zero's assistance, the initial data screening process quickly commenced!
Unlike previous particle collision experiments, this time the Chinese Academy of Sciences mainly analyzed the velocity of the various particles produced after the collision.
Time passed slowly, and the particle data generated by the collisions were eliminated one by one—none of them traveled at a speed exceeding the speed of light.
"seem……"
Fang Xu looked at the collision data, which had already reached its limit, raised his hand and gently patted Lü Yongchang's shoulder, softly comforting him, "It seems there are no tachyons."
"It seems we've taken the wrong path."
Lu Yongchang's eyes remained sharp as he stared intently at the holographic projection in front of him: "No! It's not over yet!"
"Taichizo must exist!"
It's less about confidence and more about trust in the technology landscape.
Fang Xu sighed softly, shaking his head as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the piercing alarm!
"Beep! Beep! Beep!!"
"Abnormal data detected!"
Lu Yongchang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, while he gave Fang Xu beside him a smug look.
As for Fang Xu, he stood there dumbfounded, his eyes filled with deep shock.
The holographic projection rapidly changed, and the highlighted abnormal data was clearly presented to everyone.
"gamma rays?"
Looking at the data in front of him, Lü Yongchang raised an eyebrow: "In this set of abnormal data, there are a total of two gamma rays moving in opposite directions, and at the same time, the intensity of the gamma rays changes from strong to weak."
"What...what does this mean?" Fang Xu frowned and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it just ordinary gamma rays?"
"No, this isn't ordinary gamma rays!" Lü Yongchang seemed to have figured something out, and his expression immediately became lively!
"I understand! I understand!!"
"Tachyons! This is the trace left by tachyon motion!"
"We've found it!"
Lü Yongchang's reaction left all the academicians present completely bewildered.
"Wait, wait a minute!!"
Fang Xu reached out and grabbed the overjoyed Lü Yongchang: "You better explain yourself first!"
