Infinitely increasing attributes, I dominate the multiverse Chapter 178 Binding all things, coexisti

Universal gravity, electromagnetic force, and weak interaction force are now fully controlled by Mu Cang.

All that's left is...the toughest strong interaction.

Why is it so tricky?

Because the strong interaction force is the most powerful force among the four fundamental forces, it is also the force with the second shortest range of action.

It maintains the stability of the atomic nucleus structure and is the basis for the underlying material structure of the universe.

Its function process is:

Quarks are bound together by the strong interaction produced by the exchange of gluons to form stable composite particles, namely nucleons - particles that make up the nucleus of an atom, such as protons and neutrons.

At the same time, neutrons and protons can also be regarded as two different quantum states of the same particle (nucleon).

The mutual transformation between them is equivalent to the nuclear jump from one quantum state to another, and at the same time, electrons and neutrinos are released during the jump.

What causes this change is the weak interaction between electrons, neutrino fields and atomic nuclei, which is the weak nuclear force, the brother of the strong nuclear force.

The stable existence of matter is closely related to the two, and one is indispensable.

Simply put, the strong nuclear force is the force that binds quarks together to form hadrons such as protons and neutrons.

Both it and the weak force are extremely important to the universe itself.

In a sense, the strong interaction can even be regarded as the basic force that maintains everything in the entire universe.

The powerful energy produced by various nuclear reactions essentially comes from the strong interaction force.

In other words, the energy of the sun shining into the endless starry sky also comes from the strong interaction force.

The combination of the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, both at the atomic nucleus level, invisibly binds and promotes the stability of the microscopic level of the universe.

The infinite number of microscopic particles are combined with each other to form a magnificent macroscopic universe with a diameter of one hundred billion, one trillion or even ten trillion light years.

"Unlike the Divine Gang, which can only simulate all things for a short period of time, once I hold the strong and weak nuclear forces in the palm of my hand, then..."

Mu Cang raised his head and looked at the bloody river in the dark sky that was constantly twisting, expanding, exploding, shrinking, collapsing, decaying, twisting and swelling again, and said leisurely: "All substances in the world can be created according to my will. Birth, transformation, collapse, annihilation.”

"but……"

He frowned slightly: "The strong nuclear force only exists between the tiny quarks that make up the atomic nucleus. If you want to contact, experience, and imprint that force, you have to separate the quarks from their bound state, which means you must Breaking the [quark confinement] releases [independent quarks] that normally cannot exist in the universe."

Mu Cang meditated and activated a ray of spiritual thought to suddenly peel off a turbid substance that was as round as a ball and about the size of a fingernail from the blood river located tens of thousands of meters above the ground.

He looked at the small piece of pure black material that he had been tossing for a long time from a distance. At this time, it was continuing to emit high temperature, radiation, and arcs.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he controlled his spiritual thoughts to enter the microscopic field of vision.

Suddenly, the black planet expanded hundreds of millions of times, turning into a black star as huge as a planet with pits and ravines on its surface, displayed in Mu Cang's eyes.

His eyes flashed again, and the planet instantly exploded into billions of tiny particles.

Catch a particle and continue to amplify it.

Swish——

Keep zooming in, keep zooming in.

Finally, Mu Cang's perception entered the inside of the atom.

But after entering, what was before his eyes was an empty, vast, and vast nothingness.

It cannot be described as black, nor as white.

Here, ‘color’ has lost its meaning.

However, it is not complete nothingness here, but there are bunches of quantum fluctuations that carry extremely small masses, but present a strange and discrete state, spreading and vibrating throughout the vast space.

These fluctuations exist not only in one location in space, but also in every location in all regions of space.

It's like it's a superimposition of both states at once, somewhere and all at once.

But once Mu Cang turns his 'eyes' to observe these quantum fluctuations, they will instantly expand into a orbit-like state surrounding this vast space.

But when he doesn't pay attention to these fluctuations, they will instantly return to their original strange state of mist and clouds distributed throughout the space with a certain probability.

"electronic."

Mu Cang quietly sensed these electrons, which caused their wave functions to collapse due to his 'observation' behavior, instantly exiting the probability cloud state and turning into orbits.

Yes, electrons are not the so-called small solid balls that ordinary people think of.

It is a quantum object that exhibits both a partial particle state and a partial wave state.

Even it is neither a simple wave nor a simple particle.

It is a 'cloud' composed of probabilities, so it can only be described by probabilistic quantum wave functions.

Including the mass, spin, and charge properties of electrons, they also exist in discrete states.

The electron wave function expands into 'orbitals' only when combined in an atom in a stable state.

At the same time, this orbit does not contain electrons, nor does it describe the average position of electrons orbiting it.

On the contrary, this orbit is actually an electron.

This characteristic of electrons is also the basis of the electromagnetic force technique "The Ancient Way of the Sky", and it is also built into the body of the practitioner--\u003e\u003e

The basis of the material and energy levels of the multi-dimensional pure energy orbit within each atom of a trillion atoms.

The divine thought that penetrated into the microscopic layer continued to go deeper into the atom.

If this journey of searching for the atomic nucleus is macroscopic, it is equivalent to finding an unknown mountain on the entire blue planet.

The diameter of the blue planet is more than 10,000 kilometers, while this mountain is only a few thousand meters high.

The gap between the two is hundreds of billions of times.

Yes, the atomic nucleus, which occupies 99.96% of the mass of the atom, actually occupies only a few hundred billionths of the atom in volume, and its density is extremely huge.

Theoretically, if the internal space of an atom is filled with atomic nuclei, the mass per cubic meter can reach one hundred trillion tons.

Soon, this ray of divine thought searched for the atomic nucleus located at the center of the internal space of the atom.

Generally speaking, the atomic nucleus formed by the entanglement of protons and neutrons under the strong interaction connection will present the lowest energy spherical symmetry state, that is, the shape of a sphere, when the number of protons and neutrons are both magic numbers.

As the number of protons and neutrons inside the atomic nucleus changes, the shape of the atomic nucleus will become an elliptical sphere.

There are two types:

Oblate ellipsoid (disc-shaped), and prolate ellipsoid (olive-shaped).

This is determined by the symmetry and energy inside the nucleus.

However, the nucleus displayed in Mu Cang's "field of vision" is not any of the above shapes.

Although its appearance is not as counterintuitive as that of an electron, it is still not what normal people can see or even imagine in daily life.

It is both a prolate ellipsoid and an oblate ellipsoid.

It is not like a prolate ellipsoid in the last moment and an oblate ellipsoid in the next moment, which keeps switching, but two shapes exist at the same time.

This quantum phenomenon of two shapes coexisting only in the nucleus has a special term - [Shape Coexistence].

Although not all element nuclei look so strange, there are a few types of nuclei that look like what Mu Cang's "eyes" look like, with two shapes at the same time.

Om -

Mu Cang did not hesitate, and his divine thoughts, which had been condensed to the extreme, condensed again, and went deep into the nucleus with difficulty.

Go deeper, go deeper and deeper.

After a while, when his divine consciousness reached the limit of precision, he finally managed to ‘touch’ a quark that was much smaller than the nucleus.

“Huh——”

Mu Cang, who was in the macroscopic world, let out a long sigh, “It was really strenuous.”

After speaking, he immediately urged the divine consciousness that had penetrated into the extreme microscopic realm to forcibly peel off a quark.

Of course, under this extreme precision, even with Mu Cang’s strength, it is impossible to force a huge force equivalent to the mass of a star into the interior of an atomic nucleus.

That is impossible, even nonsense.

Let alone the power of a star, even millions of tons, tens of thousands of tons, and hundreds of tons are impossible.

This kind of realm that is even smaller than the femtometer level cannot invest too much power at all.

Therefore, Mu Cang did his best to force a full eight tons of power into the interior of the atomic nucleus.

In an instant.

Boom——

That tiny and ‘vast’ microscopic realm suddenly set off waves of energy, instantly shaking off the electrons in the probability cloud state around it, and quickly leaving the internal space of the atom.

As a result, the atom was instantly shrunk by hundreds of billions of times, and was forcibly transformed into a wildly vibrating ‘naked’ atomic nucleus.

This is not over yet.

The next second, the atomic nucleus, which was vibrating more and more frequently, collapsed, and turned into a bunch of high-energy protons and high-energy neutrons flying in all directions.

However, the proton that Mu Cang was stripping off was trembling and unable to fly away, but its energy level continued to soar.

"As expected."

Mu Cang in the macroscopic world shook his head slightly, "With such precision, even if the divine mind is fully operational, it still cannot break the quark confinement."

He frowned slightly and murmured, "The output strength must be doubled again, at least sixteen tons are needed to 'break' the strong nuclear force between quarks!"

The strong interaction force that binds quarks is constant, with a value of 160,000 Newtons, or sixteen tons.

What's more terrible is that when the two quarks are torn apart, the energy applied to them is enough to stimulate the emergence of two new quarks from the vacuum again.

The two new quarks will combine with the two separated quarks respectively and return to the quark confinement state.

In other words, it is difficult to apply such a huge amount of energy at this scale, and even if it can be applied successfully, this energy will stimulate the emergence of two new quarks in the vacuum.

It is both paradoxical and contradictory.

It's as if the universe is trying its best to avoid the strong nuclear force from being studied and controlled.

But Mu Cang had a plan in mind.

"Since the divine consciousness is not enough."

A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, "Just fill it with the divine power! I don't believe that this tiny proton is so strong."

As soon as the thought moved, a ray of divine light suddenly emerged in the microscopic field.

These divine lights were like strands of strong muscle fibers attached to the power of divine consciousness, constantly strengthening its power.

After a long time, the divine consciousness that was much "thicker" with the flashing divine light grabbed the proton and broke it hard.

Boom!

!

Suddenly, a magnificent explosion occurred in the microscopic field.

At the same time...

"Instantaneous time!"

Buzz——

Time--\u003e\u003e

Stop, everything is still.

In front of Mu Cang's 'eyes', two [single quarks] that could only exist independently and roam freely in the extremely hot and high-energy environment at the beginning of the universe appeared again after 13.8 billion years.

Like electrons and atomic nuclei, the true appearance of quarks is also strange and abnormal.

It has no definite volume, and its appearance cannot be described with clear words.

It can only be regarded as an energy point from the perspective of quantum mechanics.

An energy point with fractional charge and a rough range of action.

But like all microscopic particles, the higher its energy, the lower its volatility, the more obvious its particle nature, and the larger its range of action.

And Mu Cang also took advantage of this short five seconds to start meticulous and rapid research work.

Soon, five seconds passed.

The still time passed again.

The two single quarks also 'bonded' with two quarks that emerged from the vacuum, and returned to the confined state.

Mu Cang did not stop and detained another proton.

Break it, time stops.

Another five seconds.

"The world stopped in time is too crude."

Mu Cang shook his head slightly and said to himself: "Two touches and simulations... only improved the progress of controlling the strong nuclear force by one ten-thousandth. Well, let's just grind the tofu slowly."

So, he repeated the previous action again, breaking the interaction between the two quarks, and opening the instantaneous time at the same time. With almost infinite patience, just like the time when he autonomously evolved high-dimensional senses, he explored the mystery of the strong nuclear force again and again.

Ten seconds, one minute, half an hour, one hour...

Time passed every minute and every second.

Mu Cang, suspended above the Charon Arctic cenote, continued to conduct boring strong nuclear force exploration experiments.

Another hour, four hours, eight hours...

Finally...it's time for the attributes to double again.

[Master: Mu Cang]

[Physique: 6.4 stars]

[Soul: 6.4 stars]

After a slight glance at the attribute panel, Mu Cang turned his mind back to the protons that were shrouded and restrained by the divine mind.

Nine hours had passed since the first time the quark confinement was broken, and the progress in mastering the strong nuclear force had reached 99.99% at this moment.

"The last time."

Although Mu Cang had gone through nine hours of boring time, his expression remained calm, without any change, and without any impatience.

He skillfully broke the strong nuclear force between the two quarks again, and then turned on the instantaneous time, entered the time-stopping state, and began to quickly study the two stationary independent quarks.

Five "long" and short seconds passed.

Swish——

The world returned to dynamics.

Mu Cang also retracted his divine thoughts at this moment and let go of the protons that had been tossed for a long time.

He finally truly mastered the strong interaction force at this moment.

So far, the four basic forces that support the existence and operation of the universe, namely gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force, were completely in the palm of Mu Cang's hand.
