On the outermost planet of the Kuiper belt, a piece of metal in the vacuum environment tends to be flat, with a certain thickness of metal body spread flat and fixed on the surface, with a living body attached to each of the front and back sides, roughly the size of two human heads.

　　 Of these two organisms, one of them is an organism that carries out annihilation of positive and negative matter, and the other is an ordinary piece of flesh. This is an experiment that tests the ability of the proton lattice to block gamma rays.

"begin!"

　　 With the arrival of a radio frequency band from far and near, the positive and negative matter inside the organism is annihilated, a huge amount of gamma rays are released, and the proton lattice is impacted at close range.

　　 A dazzling scorching sun rose on the horizon of the planet's surface, and with the passing of the light, a full eight tons of matter was annihilated and evaporated.

In a large area of ​​the planet, even a single cell failed to survive. Looking at it, it was a lake made of lava. Because there was no atmospheric environment, there was no shock wave. The energy of gamma rays washed the surface and bottom material layers. .

　　 "Quickly extinguish these lavas, don't let these things interfere with the experimental results."

　　 is another radio communication command. The still intact rhizome moves quickly on the surface, using low-temperature substances such as liquid nitrogen to forcibly cool the lava in large quantities and reoccupy the lost area.

　　 And the organisms wandering in space, after this communication was sent, began to go to the center of this lava lake, which is the center of the annihilation energy release of positive and negative matter.

Then this organism from the universe close to the surface of the planet saw such a scene-in this large lava lake, there is a small island, the area of ​​the island is exactly the area of ​​the proton lattice, the island The adjacent place is lava, very hot and hot, like boiling soup.

　　 Before the lava swallowed the island, the organism descended from the air, captured the proton lattice, raised the height again, and sent the experimental object to a safe place.

　　The collectors waited there early, and as soon as the proton lattice arrived, they began to confirm the condition of the organisms using the proton lattice as a shield.

　　 "Why, how could this be..."

　　 "It shouldn't be, why does it still have a third of the cells necrotic?"

　　 The creator of the original plan looked at the damage information in a daze, which did not match the physical model it established. The organism itself should not be damaged by gamma rays.

　　 "Could it be the photons of the gamma rays that knocked the protons apart?"

　　 "...It is possible, but one-third of the damage is still too much. It should be a small probability that the collision will happen."

　　 "We should ask questions. It has a deeper understanding of knowledge than ours, and its brains are more flexible than ours."

　　 "Agree."

　　 Connected to Hesi's communication and delivered the experiment information directly to Min.

　　 "Of course it is because the gamma rays passed through. It's as simple as that." Si replied to these people who conducted the experiment.

　　 "Is it because the proton was knocked away by the gamma photon?"

The proposer of the 　　 program asked Si. If Si gave an affirmative answer, the collectors would consider thickening the proton lattice by two more layers to avoid this situation completely.

　　 However, Si's answer made it unexpected.

　　 "No, because your proton lattice still has gaps. A small part of the gamma photons pass through the gaps between the protons and damage the organisms hiding behind. That's it."

　　 "Huh? The distance between the protons is already smaller than the orbital radius of the lowest energy level electrons. Shouldn't the gamma photons bounce off?"

The person who heard this explanation could not help being stunned on the spot, because the explanation given does not match its physical model. It should be impossible for the gamma photon to pass through the gap between the proton and the proton, because it is lower than the electron. The radius of the orbit, Pauli’s law of incompatibility will not allow particles to pass there.

　　 Thinking of hearing the answer of the proposer, it is also a strange rhetorical question.

　　 "Bounce off? Why do they bounce off? The insignificant gamma photons will not electrically interact with protons. Unless these protons can be close to each other, it is impossible to block gamma rays 100%."

　　 After a moment of silence, combined with the actual experimental data, the proponent was finally determined.

　　 "...that is, is my physical model wrong?"

　　 "I want to know the reason for my mistake, think, send me the information."

I didn’t hesitate to think, and pointed out the reason why gamma rays penetrate the proton lattice in the experimental results of my fellows. The reason is that photons are bosons, and bosons do not need to follow Pauli’s law of incompatibility. However, this law in quantum mechanics only applies to fermions, so gamma photons can pass through the gaps in the proton lattice. The collectors who participated in the experiment completely misunderstood this point.

　　 After digesting the information, the proponents of the proposal were greatly disappointed, and they couldn't help but lose some accounts, as did other collectors.

　　 "It turned out to be this way~lightnovelpub.net~ I was so excited before that..."

It is not disappointed with the performance of the proton lattice. Even if it fails to block all the gamma photons, it is much stronger than the heavy lead protective layer before, because the protons are dense enough, and a large part of the gamma photons After the impact, it turned back. This allowed the experimental body that should have turned into coke to survive only one-third of the cell necrosis. It can be said that this kind of proton lattice is very useful.

The main reason for the loss of the collectors is that the initial expectations were too high, and the gap was unacceptable at once. The vivid description is that a group of top students sighed after the mock exam, holding a pile of more than 90 test papers and muttering'this Questions, that question should not lose points','I could have scored a hundred points','I failed the exam', etc.

　　 "In other words, can't we continue to increase the pressure and narrow the gap between the protons so that they are next to each other? That way, it can absolutely resist gamma photons." Some collectors put forward this idea.

　　 "Let's not mention how to work in the extreme environment that creates that kind of pressure. Even if it is made, we have no way to store and use it."

Other collectors explained that the state is too extreme. There are protons on the whole surface and there is no gap at all. The electromagnetic force between the protons will overflow. Just maintaining the pressure to ensure that it will not recombine with the neutral particles is A big problem, there are many reasons to consider such as nuclear fusion...

　　 Today's proton lattice is a metastable structure. Protons squeeze the electrons. According to Pauli's law of incompatibility, electrons cannot form hydrogen with protons. This state can be maintained as long as the pressure does not decrease.
