Chapter 577 The Essence of Gravity

As he said that, Xu You turned on his computer and found out his own design of the space gravity system.

Compared with Lu Zhiyao's design, Xu You's design is much more detailed.

However, after all, Lu Zhiyao is just a picture drawn casually, and it must not be compared with Xu You's carefully designed picture.

The design of the overall specifications of the two is almost the same, which proves that Lu Zhiyao has indeed possessed very professional capabilities.

"My wife and the teacher definitely didn't discuss it in secret. They would definitely not be bored if they deliberately acted in such a play. I didn't expect my wife to be so powerful. It really exceeded my imagination."

Lin Shi muttered silently in her heart, and couldn't help feeling admiration for Lu Zhiyao.

Naturally, Xu You had never studied similar details with Lu Zhiyao before. The reason why Lu Zhiyao was able to master this knowledge was all due to his usual efforts and his increasingly powerful brain power.

"Using centrifugal force to simulate gravity and create an artificial space gravity system is currently the most possible and safest way of space gravity. However, its disadvantage is that the volume of the spacecraft must be large enough, which is very important for our rockets. There will be a very big test of capability. We will definitely launch such a large-scale space station that can use centrifugal force to simulate gravity in the future."

Having said that, Xu You changed the subject.

"When we will be able to launch such a huge space station is still unknown. Therefore, in addition to using centrifugal force to simulate gravity, we also need to try to find other methods to simulate gravity on the earth."

After listening to what Xu You said, everyone fell into a short silence for a while.

Indeed, using a huge space station to simulate gravity is indeed the most feasible method at present.

But although such a method is feasible in theory, it is not easy to implement.

At this time, Lin Shi half-jokingly said:

"It would be nice to invent gravity coatings like in science fiction and science fiction movies. Put gravity coatings on the bottom of the spacecraft, and put negative mass materials on the top of the spacecraft, so that you can simulate something like The gravitational environment on the earth. Alas, it’s just that these are part of science fiction, and there is no complete scientific theory to support them.”

These ideas of Lin Shi cannot be said to be completely impossible to realize, but the theoretical part is not even supported.

However, these ideas provided Xu You with some inspiration, causing Xu You to immediately enter a state of flow, thinking about various other possibilities.

"Teacher... have you entered that state again?"

Lin Shi noticed Xu You's abnormal changes, but Lin Shi was used to Xu You like this, and knew that when Xu You was silent and in a state of meditation, he must not be disturbed.

The others also knew about Xu You's habit, and they all closed their mouths by coincidence, waiting for Xu You's thinking process.

"No matter what the force is, as long as it can produce an effect similar to gravity, it can solve the problem. Let's try the possibility of pressure first."

Xu You's first thought was to use pressure instead of gravity to achieve an effect similar to gravity.

But soon, after Xu You's brain simulation, Xu You denied the possibility of this direction.

The use of pressure can indeed make the human body receive gravity on a macroscopic level, but for the human body itself, the feeling is completely different.

These pressures then act on the surface of the body and do not act on the interior of the body.

This feeling, like being in deep water and being under the strong pressure of water, makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Gravity actually acts on every particle of the human body. Only the form of force with the same principle can achieve nearly the same effect."

This is why, using the centrifugal force brought by the rotation, a similar effect can be produced.

"Wait a minute... What is the essence of gravity?"

At this time, Xu You thought of another question.

According to the understanding in the textbook, according to the formula of universal gravitation, the universal gravitation is proportional to the product of the masses of two mutually attracting objects, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

If you understand it at a deeper level, the essence of gravity is the distortion of time and space.

The more massive an object is, the more curvature it will cause to the space-time around it.

When a small object passes near a large object, it will be affected by this curvature and fall near the large object.

This effect is reflected in the so-called "universal gravitation" in terms of mechanics.

But at this time, Xu You didn't think that the essence of gravity was just like this.

Xu You immediately thought of another force, the Coulomb force.

This is a force between two electric charges. Its calculation formula is very similar to that of gravitation, except that mass is replaced by electric charge, and different coefficients are replaced.

According to the space-time warping theory of gravitation, it is not difficult to understand that the forms of the two forces are very similar.

However, Xu You felt that from the fact that the expressions of the two forces were very similar, some hidden relationships between mass and charge could be revealed.

"Protons and electrons have exactly the same amount of charge, but their masses differ by nearly two thousand times. Can we assume that a proton actually contains a positron and other uncharged particles?" Xu You thought road.

Thinking of this, Xu You began to simulate a more microcosmic world in his brain.

In the previous simulation experiment of controllable nuclear fusion, Xu You has been able to simulate it at the quantum level.

Looking at the more microcosmic world in his mind, Xu You discovered some new information.

"Sure enough, the composition of protons is not just as simple as quarks and gluons, but can also be split in more detail. Including sixty-two kinds of elementary particles, all of which can be further split."

Due to limited brainpower, Xu You is still unable to see clearly what kind of particles the particles with higher precision are.

But at this time, Xu You already had a bold guess.

Perhaps the smaller particles that make up these fundamental particles are simpler than we thought.

Just like Go, with so many complicated changes, the basic pieces are only black and white.

After completing this series of complicated thoughts in his mind, Xu You finally broke out of the state of flow.

It was only then that Xu You realized that he was still discussing with everyone in the laboratory various assumptions about the space gravity system.
