My name is Hawk , I'm from Earth

With this order from Hawke, immediately, the fusion reactors installed on top of the Large Particle Collider in the ring ε Eri system, a thousand kilometres away from each other, with a total of more than 200,000 fusion reactors, started up at full power at the same time, and the instruments at the beginning fired two protons in two directions, which were immediately accelerated by the first stage accelerator as soon as they were fired, and then went from the first stage accelerator to the The second accelerator is accelerated again, and then the third ...

In this way, the speed of these two protons will be infinitely close to the speed of light, as the acceleration continues one level at a time.

According to relativity calculations, the energy required to accelerate even a single proton to the speed of light is infinite, and this has been confirmed by countless experimental data, and Hawke was unable to break this limit.

But how much energy would be generated by over 200,000 fusion reactors? How high would all this energy, used to accelerate two protons, raise its energy level?

These two protons, with their speed, are already near infinitely close to the speed of light.

This is why the larger the particle collider, the higher its scientific value. Because the larger the particle collider, the higher the acceleration that can be provided to the particles, so that the moment the two particles collide, the higher the energy level, the more it helps scientific research.

The particle collider built by Hawke for the ring ε Eri galaxy can provide enough acceleration to bring the energy level of the two colliding particles up to one femtosecond after the Big Bang. At such a level of energy, the two particles would be shattered by the impact, and all the mysteries hidden within them would be revealed.

With more than 200,000 fusion reactors running at full power to power the collider, the two protons travel faster and faster, and eventually, at a certain point inside the collider, collide with a bang.

At the point of collision between the two particles, the temperature has exceeded several hundred billion degrees, and at that instant, the energy level has far exceeded that of two neutron stars colliding.

Although the energy level at the point of collision is so enormous, the total amount of energy is not even as great as the kinetic energy carried by a high-velocity machine gun bullet, a seeming contradiction whose reason is that they are so small. It is as if the pressure of a woman's heels on the ground is greater than the pressure of an elephant on the ground; it does not follow that the mass of a woman is greater than that of an elephant.

Hawke observed that in this moment a miniature black hole appeared out of thin air, but in just a moment this black hole evaporated its mass and disappeared. There was no way out, it was too small, too small to swallow matter before it had ended its life.

At the moment the black hole disappeared, Hawke's ultra-precise observation instruments observed many, many unspeakable phenomena. Hawke did not even have time to calculate and analyse what they meant, but had to record all the data for later analysis.

The first particle collision test lasted thirty minutes. Hawke was able to harvest about a few tb of observations.

These data were just raw data, and at some time in the future, Hawke would use these raw data as the basis for his research into the microscopic world.

"Hopefully, the completion of the Large Particle Collider in the Ring ε Eri galaxy will bring me a breakthrough in the microscopic world, will allow me to break the barrier of super-range communication technology, verify the Higgs mechanism, or, allow me to unify the four fundamental forces ..." Hawke silently Chanting, he turned and plunged into the sea of data and began to do the arithmetic on these experimental data.

Hawke knew that even if he had come up with a clear physical formula now, he would not be able to put it into application immediately. It was like Einstein's mass-energy formula, which was discovered decades before the atomic bomb came into being, and developed decades more before nuclear power plants appeared. This is the lag between physical theory and practical application.

But therein lies the importance of physical theory. Without the guidance of fundamental physical theory, one would not know where to go if one wanted to develop technology.

Moreover, with the development of fundamental physics, in terms of theory, a civilisation will inevitably experience stagnant technological development, i.e. only the technological side develops, while the theoretical side stagnates.

This is because as science develops, physical theories become more and more complex, until they become so complex that all the scientists of an entire civilisation cannot move them forward with all their life's work, and it is up to the accumulation of generations of scientific researchers to move them forward.

This accumulation could take thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years, or possibly forever.

Hawke is in a unique position to do this, because with enough computing power, Hawke alone can develop technology enough to match a civilisation or even several civilisations put together. Therefore, Hawke was not mindful of the thousands of years he had wasted on rush time. On the scale of the universe, a few thousand years, which passes in a flash, is really not worth the heartache.

Moreover, Hawke had another advantage. Hawke had once estimated that if human society grew to a population of 100 billion and had all the technology it had now, it would take at least a few hundred years to build the Ring ε Eri galactic particle collider. For there are simply too many aspects of a civilisation to develop, where is the capacity for action like Hawke's?

It took Hawke three months to analyse the data collected from this experiment. After three months, Hawke switched on the particle collider once again and conducted a collision experiment. The data from this experiment was then analysed and compared with the previous one to prevent the effects of errors.

During these two experiments, Hawke observed a miraculous particle, which has no spin, is uncharged, very unstable and decays immediately after it is created. It is now certain that this particle is a completely new type of boson, but Hawke is not sure if it is the Higgs boson, and further conclusions will need to be verified by the experiments.

In the ten years since the construction of the Large Particle Collider in the Eri system, Hawke has conducted hundreds of collisions with the machine and obtained a large amount of data. boson.

At this moment, Hawke felt a sense of relief. The status of the Higgs boson was too important.

Scientists on Earth had built a model called the Standard Model, which predicted, note, sixty-one particles in the microscopic world. The first sixty particles were discovered in experiments, but the Higgs boson was never confirmed.

If the experiment verifies that the Higgs boson does not exist, then the standard model will be overturned and human microscopic physics will have to be almost overturned. If it is verified that the Higgs boson does exist, then human physical theory will be more solid and, moreover, it will explain one of the most important questions, where does mass come from?

The Higgs mechanism explains that the universe is filled with something called the Higgs field, and particles gain energy by interacting with the Higgs field, and energy means mass, and that is why everything in our universe, possesses mass. The Higgs boson, on the other hand, is the inevitable by-product of the process of energy acquisition by particles, as predicted by the Standard Model.

Verifying the existence of the Higgs boson also basically confirms the existence of the Higgs mechanism and the Higgs field, and Hawke will continue his research in this area later on, exploring the whole process of this Higgs mechanism and how ... gets energy out of thin air.

This is one aspect of the research, and on the other hand, Hawke has discovered a strange phenomenon in his hundreds of collision experiments.

That is, the mass, or energy, of matter increases for no apparent reason. For example, suppose the two particles involved in the collision had a combined mass of ten thousand, but at the end of the experiment, Hawke observed that the total mass, or total energy, of the colliding wreckage actually reached ten thousand and one.

The number of trials, up to hundreds, had ruled out the possibility of error. Time and time again, Hawke had increased the precision of the tests, also ruling out the possibility of alien material being involved.

So where did this one mass come from that appeared out of nowhere? Hawke was puzzled, and he launched a protracted study, but no explanation could be found.

He had no choice but to shelve his research for the time being, and just collected all the experimental data for later study.

After verifying the existence of the Higgs boson, Hawke started his research on long-range communication. Perhaps it was because of the joy of the occasion that Hawke made a rapid breakthrough, and the first super-range communication instrument was built in the second decade after the construction of the Large Particle Collider in the Eri system.

One of these two instruments was installed at ε Eri a and the other at the particle collider. On top of the ε Eri a, Hawke would send a signal through this instrument to the other instrument, which would then send back this message by ordinary means of signal transmission.

The two instruments are twenty-one million kilometres apart, and at normal signal transmission speeds, one to the other, Hawke would receive a response in one hundred and forty seconds. However, if the outgoing journey is by means of over-the-horizon communication and the return journey is by normal transmission, Hawke will receive a response in seventy seconds.

Including the time taken by the instruments to process the signal, the maximum time would be no more than seventy seconds and 0.3 milliseconds.

Hawke, above the ε Eri a synchronous orbit, calmed his mind, manipulated the instrument and sent a signal out.

"Universe, hello. My name is Hawk and I am from Earth."
