Chapter 336: Antimatter Energy

Although Ling Zikai knew what Qian Lao was talking about, he still couldn't help but ask, "What did you find?"

Qian Lao's face showed an irrepressible excitement, and he said, "Inside that stone, we have detected the composition of an antimatter particle!"

Ling Zikai asked with some confusion, "What are antimatter particles?"

Qian Lao's face was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Ling Zikai to even understand the famous antimatter particles.

Then I was relieved. As the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, and people are not engaged in scientific research, so it is normal not to understand, so they explained:

"Anything we see in this world is made up of particles of matter and belongs to the category of positive matter particles. Whereas, antimatter particles refer to the anti-state of normal matter. In nature, any kind of 'subatomic particle' (a particle smaller than an atom) has a corresponding antimatter, and it is difficult for us to find antimatter particles. Because particles and antiparticles collide together, just like ice meets fireballs, they either disappear together, or they are merged into other particles. The process is so short that we simply can't capture it the moment it touches something. ”

Ling Zikai asked with interest, "Then what does this antimatter particle do?"

"Everything in the world has the commonality of repelling the same sex and attracting the opposite. The same is true for antimatter, once it encounters positive matter, it quickly combines with it and annihilates each other. This annihilation does not mean that the positive and negative substances disappear into nothing, in fact, their mass will be transformed into energy and completely released, exploding and generating great power.

Theoretically, one gram of antimatter is equivalent to the energy of 200,000 tons of nuclear* - more than 2,000 times stronger than the one dropped by the United States in Hiroshima!

I don't know if you've read a novel called "The Great Escape: The Destruction of Earth"? In that novel, the hero and heroine, with the help of scientists at Fermi National Laboratory, successfully blew up a neutron star that crashed into the Antarctic spacecraft with an intercontinental* carrying 35 grams of antimatter, and along the way, was bombarded indiscriminately by thousands of nuclear bombs but remained unscathed, thus saving the entire planet.

Although this is a description of the power of antimatter in the novel, it cannot be used as a scientific basis. After all, no scientist has yet successfully experimented with the annihilation explosion caused by the encounter of positive and antimatter, and no one knows how powerful it is.

There is also the most famous 'Tunguska explosion', known as the "mystery of the century". In the early morning of June 30, 1908, in the forests of the Tunguska region of Siberia, Russia, an unprecedented explosion suddenly occurred. It was as powerful as 1,000 pieces* exploded at the same time, destroying hundreds of square kilometers of towns and forests. The scientific community is still unable to explain the cause of the explosion. Some people speculate that it is likely that an antimatter appeared at that time, and after encountering positive matter, it caused a large explosion after annihilation.

There is also the explosion of Wang Gongchang that occurred during the Ming Dynasty. On the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, a bizarre explosion occurred in the area near the Wang Gong Factory* Warehouse in the southwest corner of Beijing.

The explosion covered a radius of about 750 metres and an area of 2.23 square kilometres, killing and injuring more than 20,000 people. The cause of the explosion is unknown, the phenomenon is peculiar, and the disaster is enormous, and it is "an unprecedented change in ancient and modern times."

The cause of the incident still haunts historians and scientists today.

According to historical records, the sky in the capital at that time was bright, and suddenly there was a roar, gradually from the northeast of the city to the southwest corner of the city, and at the same time there was a huge fireball rolling in the air. In the loud noise, the sky was full of silky and tidal colorless clouds flying sideways, and there were large, black mushroom and Ganoderma lucidum clouds standing straight up in the southwest corner of the city like pillars.

In an instant, the sky was dark, dust and fire flew, the sky collapsed, and the ten thousand rooms were flat. From Fucheng Gate in the east, to Xingbu Street in the north, it is 1500~2000 meters long, and wood, stones, human bodies, and poultry corpses fall from the sky like raindrops within the range of 6500 meters wide.

Tens of thousands of houses and more than 20,000 people were blown into powder, rubble flew into the air, clothes flew as far as Changping, and the dead were naked. The craftsmen who were working in the Forbidden City were shaken off the tall scaffolding, and 2,000 people fell into "meat bags". The imperial historian He Qianshu and Pan Yunyi were shocked to death in the Qianqing Palace, and the He family and Pan family, who lived in the southwest of the city, were buried in the soil. Because the palace was on the edge of the blast zone, Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao was spared.

The most puzzling thing about this incident is that there were no weapons that could cause so much damage at that time, and the most important clue is that most of the corpses were naked after the explosion, the shock wave was huge, and the clothes and so on all floated to the West Mountain, and the clothes in the Changping Prefecture Church were piled up, and utensils, jewelry, and silver coins were also all over the ground.

It is no less powerful than an explosion. However, there was no radioactive hazard after the fact, and the explosion was very similar to the energy emitted by antimatter during annihilation. So, some people now speculate that the explosion at that time was most likely caused by antimatter!"

Ling Zikai gasped when he heard this, and said, "If antimatter can really burst out with such great power, if it is applied to the military field and developed into an antimatter weapon, then what else can be fought against in this world?"

Qian Lao nodded and said, "You're right! Now many countries have spent huge sums of money on antimatter research. Because unlike nuclear bombs, antimatter* does not produce nuclear radiation when it explodes, and is a "clean*". It has the power of an explosion, but it does not cause radiation contamination.

Of course, antimatter can be used not only as a weapon*, but also in other areas. For example, the super fuel for the manufacture of interstellar rockets, aircraft drones, and spaceships. It is estimated that one gram of antimatter is enough to power twenty space shuttles. Tens of milligrams of antimatter are fueled to propel a spacecraft to Mars in six weeks.

In short, the effects of this antimatter are more extensive than you can imagine. It will be an energy revolution that can fundamentally change the model of energy supply.

It's just that the research process of antimatter is very difficult. The first is that it's hard to find antimatter particles in nature.

Second, even if you capture an antimatter particle, you can't store it. Because everything on the earth is made of matter, as long as it comes into contact with antimatter particles, annihilation will occur, what materials do you say to use to preserve antimatter particles?"

Qian Lao's words made Ling Zikai feel a little incredible. Judging from the scene that Qian Lao just described, whether it was the energy in the white stone and the ancestral god energy in his body, there were really some surprising similarities with the energy formed by the antimatter particles in the process of annihilation.

If you just look at the energy in the white stone, it may be said that it was created by the activity of antimatter particles.

But this theory can't explain the ancestral energy that exists in one's body, and it can't be that it is also generated by antimatter particles!

If this is the case, if you release the ancestral god energy out of your body, wouldn't it be equivalent to casting a primordial in this world

A hundred times more powerful bullets?
