The Higgs boson, also known as the God particle, is the source of mass for everything in the universe.
In the more common understanding of various civilizations in the universe, particles are just an excitation in the quantum field, and the quantum field can run through the entire space and time. Each particle is actually quantum energy in its own quantum field.
For example, the quantum energy of an electron is 0.511 MeV, which is the rest mass of the electron in the electron field. Similarly, the excitation energy of an up quark in the up quark field is 2.2 MeV, which is its rest mass.
If you add one quantum of energy to a quantum field, you get one particle. If you add another quantum of energy, you get two particles, and so on.
Since the Higgs boson has a mass of 125 petaelectronvolts, you need to add 125 petaelectronvolts of energy to the Higgs field to form a Higgs boson. This is an extremely high energy level! It's equivalent to the rest mass of about an electron.
Theoretically, the Higgs boson could be produced this way, but in practice, it's not easy. Compared to other particles, the Higgs boson is very heavy. Under normal circumstances, most massive particles are unstable and decay into smaller ones. It's as if everything in the universe is inherently lazy, striving to reach its lowest energy state.
The result is that heavy particles become unstable and tend to decay into lighter particles. If a particle can decay into a lighter particle, the greater the mass difference between it and the decayed particle, the faster the particle will decay. In other words, the moment the Higgs boson appears, it will decay rapidly, making it difficult to preserve. Only a top-tier civilization like the Seekers could devise a method to stably store it. However, such a task is still extremely difficult and would require a considerable amount of time!
The reason why the explorer civilization needs to accumulate so many Higgs bosons is to create enough Higgs boson strikers.
The Higgs boson striker is a consumable superweapon created by the Seeker civilization based on the properties of the Higgs boson. Its core principle involves the Seeker civilization's cutting-edge scientific secrets, so OS has not disclosed it. However, he did inform Chang Wei that when the Higgs boson striker collides with any matter, including antimatter, it generates a unique energy unprecedented in the universe.
This special energy is short-lived, its output is minimal, and it cannot be stored or captured, but its effects are incredibly powerful! It can change everything, create everything, and even grant everything all sorts of bizarre and illogical properties or abilities!
For example, the Seeker civilization once conducted an extravagant experiment, utilizing this special energy to inadvertently create a magical wooden stick capable of transforming any creature into a cat-eared girl. This stick is still sealed within the deepest "roots" of the main trunk, under strict supervision and research.
This mysterious energy, like God's editor, can imbue any object with certain attributes. Currently, the Seeker civilization has explored its rudimentary uses and named it the Power of Design. They intend to use it as a final weapon in the impending decisive battle, to attack the Zerg and reverse their genetic makeup, completely reducing them to their primitive maggot form!
After hearing this plan, Chang Wei and the other cats, dogs, and Furuis also gained confidence! They secretly admired each other, worthy of being the most powerful civilization in this universe! They even created the "God Editor", amazing! It's really amazing!
There's no doubt about it. Judging from the intelligence provided by the Seekers, the Zerg's main force will be extremely powerful! Once they break through the "Levi Quadrant", this plan may be their only chance of turning defeat into victory!
In this case, Chang Wei and his team will have to formulate strategic guidelines and discuss tactical strategies based on this plan.
Simply put, it's about defense and stalling for time! Delay until support arrives from other cosmic civilizations! Delay until the Seeker civilization is ready!
However, war is destined to be accompanied by sacrifice!
Although the emergence of the Light Chaser fleet has relieved the pressure on the Seeker civilization, the pressure from the Zerg is growing.
As the war progressed into its tenth cosmic cycle, the Light Chasers began to suffer casualties. On average, a few unlucky fighters or mechas were shot down every day. Then, dozens, hundreds, thousands! Then, the sunken light cruisers began to appear. Countless young cats and dogs, like Fury, arrived on this battlefield with the resolve to die, and ultimately, along with their faith, they became tiny stars in the universe.
By the war's 30th cosmic cycle, the number of units destroyed had risen to medium-sized destroyers. Every day, within the flagship's bridge, one could see countless cats, dogs, and Furies secretly weeping upon learning of the deaths of their friends and relatives. They longed to burst into tears, to let out their feelings. But their duty compelled them to remain steadfast at their posts, transforming their grief into strength.
Although Chang Wei was calm and composed, and commanded with measure, the fleet's casualties continued to increase, which made his brows furrow even deeper.
By the time the war reached its ninetieth cosmic cycle, the types of units destroyed had risen to include large motherships and heavy battleships, and the Light Chaser fleet's overall casualty rate had reached 11% of its pre-war level.
