H-field

Chapter 33 — H-field.

The dead of the parasite Ochiai was a very rational decision. And with Ochiai's twisted nature also coupled with his genius mind, he proved to be a very dangerous individual if left alive.

Ochiai would bring more risks than benefits to the current Sidonia, making Jason decide the most appropriate decision was to therefore eliminate the mad scientist early on, rather than letting him free to scheme sinisterly. His past actions already serve as proofs about his evil and twisted nature that won't probably even change in the future.

As a result, Jason didn't need a clear reason or justification to kill Ochiai. He also didn't feel guilty for killing the parasite that only contained Ochiai's copies of memories and personality.

And even though Ochiai was a smart genius from the old generation, Sidonia didn't needed him now. There were many new genius within the current generation that even surpassed him. Such an example were Sasaki and Yure who were exceptional genius within their own respective fields.

After destroying the parasite Ochiai, Jason continued to destroy the other unawakened incomplete parasites inside the other glass tubes just to be safe and careful.

Now that there weren't dangers left, Jason and the two siblings continued looking and observing around the laboratory.

After examining for a while, Norio and Mozuku didn't find anything that would help them.

The only thing they found interesting were the many bookshelves that contained each and every personal records of Ochiai.

Norio and Mozuku left the laboratory after completely looking inside, leaving Jason to read through the records that contained Ochiai's accumulated knowledge. They wanted to also learn, but felt it would prove quite difficult to understand.

For one day, Jason stayed over their house to completely memorized the entire contents of every books inside the laboratory.

His evolved brain was powerful, allowing Jason to memorize and absorb the many books very easily. His Thought Acceleration also helped greatly.

Jason was now able to remember everything he memorized with just a simple thought, as if he was just picking a book inside an imaginary library within his mind.

It was a mind library that contained all of his memories, an imaginary place constructed by his evolved brain to help him efficiently remember his memories.

After reading through every book records that Ochiai made, Jason learned many things about Gauna Bio-Technology. However, what captured his attention was the complete theoretical knowledge about the weapon known as the Gravitational Beam Emitter. It was the powerful weapon that was being researched by Sidonia.

There was also more about Ochiai's early knowledge about artificial intelligence and cybernetics technology that remodeled the body in order to surpass the human's weak body. It even contained his research about medical nanobots to change the human body.

Jason managed to surprisingly learn that it was partially due to Ochiai's research about Gauna's biology that revolutionised Sidonia to use the Higgs Particle. Although he was a mad scientist and a monster that nearly brought Sidonia into its destruction, he also helped Sidonia to prosper.

How ironic it was.

Moreover, Jason found something interesting about Ochiai's early days of researching the Higgs Particle.

However, he gave up about continuing to research after deeming it as something impossible.

Despite Ochiai saying it as impossible, Mr. Alien it was possible to create.

The Higgs Particle usually has near-zero mass — though, like any particles that exist everywhere, the Higgs Particle's mass increases to reflect its potential or kinetic energy that changes depending on how it was wielded.

The Higgs Particles also has two kinds of state—the stable positive state, and the unstable negative state.

The stable state possess strong positive charges, but the unstable state possess strong negative charges.

The two states were different, but essentially the same.

On one hand, the stable state was usually used for powering and moving the Guardian Knight. It was also used for the propulsion system, and other things that were needed to operate the Guardian Knight.

On the other hand, the unstable state was now being used for weapons to create powerful laser beams like the attack of the Sword Cannon.

However, Ochiai theorized that when the stable and unstable Higgs Particles scatter in space, the repulsive forces and electrostatic between the two opposite yet same particles would cause the surrounding and internal particles to spontaneously align into a lattice structure known as the H-field.

And the H-field was somehow similar to the concept known as force fields, having many theoretical uses that could possibly revolutionised the entire technology of Sidonia once again!

Jason widened his eyes, realizing the H-field was similar to the energy shield that was frequently used in his favourite virtual game in the past.

However, despite it looking very easy to create the H-field, it was actually very difficult to even achieve.

As a result, Ochiai gave up after making no progress for a long time. He instead started to fully focus on Bio-Technology, even now managing to copy his own memories and personality into his bio-creation.

Mr. Alien said the reason Ochiai failed was because he was using a very crude method of just simply trying to make the stable and unstable Higgs Particle to repulse each others by just releasing into the open space on its own.

The only way to produce the H-field was through the use of a special kind of generator that will guide the positive particles and negative particle to react and repulse with each, then guiding their spontaneous reaction to intricately form into a lattice structure which was a three dimensional structure.

Jason found it a shame that Ochiai decided to walk into the wrong path. However, he won't allow Sidonia to make the same mistake ever again.

He decided to entrust some of the useful knowledge to Sasaki which will guarantee to speed up the process needed for the technology to advance a next level. Along with Mr. Aliens's help, the advancement wasn't long enough. The results might even surpass his own expectation.

Jason then thought of handing the knowledge about the medical nanobots to Yure which will also help her greatly. Who knows, she might be able to create a new kind of advance pilot suit with the help of Sasaki. And it wasn't just limited to pilot suits, but more kinds of inventions that would save many lives.

He could see it with his own eyes.

A new age was starting.

...

I don't know exactly if Ochiai really helped with the use of Higgs Particles, but I somehow remember him being involved with it. So if I made errors, well, I can't change it now.

So H-field is basically the I-field from Gundam Technology—the original Higgs Particles were positive charges, so I added two states which can make negative charges particles which I already hinted in the past.

This was supposed to be longer, but I cut the rest since yeah.
