Chapter 276: They're All Old
High school chemistry classes often refer to the "periodic table", where the hydrogen atom is the lightest and simplest elemental atom, that is, a negatively charged electron revolving around a positively charged proton.
In order for antimatter technology to go to practical application, the lowest grade of raw materials must have enough antihydrogen atoms, of course, if antimatter - hydrogen can be synthesized, it would be better, just the annihilation of positrons and negative electrons, is not enough to support the banner of antimatter applications.
Academician Li Zhengwu is right.
In today's world, the way to make antimatter is nothing more than to use a "proton separator" to strip electrons from hydrogen to obtain protons as hydrogen nuclei, and then hundreds of millions of such protons are collected together to form "proton packets", and then these "proton packets" are sent to the beam tube of the accelerator in batches, and countless "proton packets" reach the final collision speed after multi-stage acceleration - near the speed of light!
The principle is similar to "shooting a wall with a fire water gun" to form a splash of water and impurities washed down the wall, and the "proton pack" is this "fire water gun", which hits a fixed target and produces many "debris" that disperse quickly, and these "debris" include some particles that did not exist before the collision, which are formed by the energy in the high-energy beam that is converted into mass during the collision.
According to Einstein's principle of "energy and mass conversion", there are some "negatively charged protons" (antiprotons) in these particles, but they fly very fast, so the "antiprotons" must be stopped by a reducer, and then the "antiprotons" are fused with the "positively charged electrons" (i.e., antielectrons) obtained by other methods, and finally the "antihydrogen atoms" can be formed.
But the problem is that the "anti-hydrogen atoms" must not touch the world of positive matter, otherwise they will quickly meet the atoms in normal matter and form energy (radiation or bright light), which is somewhat similar to "the neutralization reaction occurs when the acid-base species meet"; therefore, the "anti-hydrogen atoms" must be stored relatively stationary in a vacuum vessel and must not touch the test equipment.
It can be seen that the difficulty of creating "anti-hydrogen atoms" can be imagined.
Since ancient times, there has been no new antimatter manufacturing method in Huashan, and this manufacturing method is, of course, the only way up the mountain.
Of course, for decades, no one has wanted to develop another manufacturing method, but unfortunately, they all fell to their deaths on the way to climb 'Huashan', and they didn't even make a sound.
Academician Li Zhengwu believes that no matter how talented Liu Feng is, he is not a demon, and he will be helpless in the face of this kind of problem of the century.
Really.
Liu Feng's response confirmed his conjecture.
"At present, it is true that the creation of antimatter can only be obtained by hadron collider at random, which I cannot argue. Moreover, the future antimatter manufacturing technology may still be inseparable from the participation of the Large Hadron Collider, but ......"
Why, I just exerted my strength, and you fell? Mr. Li Zhengwu pouted, since you can't solve this problem, then why do you still have to make a big deal out of it?
That's a project of tens of billions of dollars, is it just for your personal desires to be wasted?!
It's a thief!
Thinking of this, in an instant, the old gentleman's eyes looked at Liu Feng more and more wrong.
Because in his eyes, this little man on the stage is already comparable to the kind of shameless villain who disregards the national economy and people's livelihood in order to realize his personal ambitions, and does not compromise to achieve his goals!
On second thought, or is it simply a fool or a traitor spy!
The so-called antimatter engineering is simply a copy of the Star Wars plan of M and the M people when they were fighting for hegemony!
The thought of this possibility made the old man even more excited.
Otherwise, how can you explain that this guy went to country M, and when he came back, he fooled the people above to engage in antimatter?
Hmph, it's just that this guy is still a little tender in the end, with the eyes of an old man like a torch, he can fool others, how can he fool me?
No, this kid must not be allowed to succeed!
Whether it is out of selfishness or out of the righteousness of the world, at this moment, Mr. Li is eager to expose Liu Feng's "ugly face" on the spot.
Alas, it's a pity, beautiful woman, what a thief!
Distressed!
It hurts a lot!
When he thought of such a young talent, it was very likely that he had betrayed his ancestors, and Mr. Li was extremely distressed, and he only felt a pain in his chest.
- Oops!
"Lao Li, Lao Li, what's wrong with you!"
Academician Wang Chengshu was shocked when he found that Mr. Li suddenly covered his chest.
"Quick, fast-acting heart pill!"
Academician Li's apprentice, Academician Li Yongfeng, knew the inside story, and quickly found a quick-acting heart-saving pill from Academician Li's bag and gave it to the old man.
Liu Feng: ???
What's the situation?
Completely stunned......
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
The people around also quickly gathered around, scrambling.
"No, it's fine!"
After the two heart-saving pills, Academician Li relieved his breath, "Old, old problem, don't worry about ......"
"Don't worry about it, it's all like this, hurry up and go to the hospital!"
Academician Wang Chengshu looked at his somewhat dark lips and was furious.
"Wang ...... Sister, I'm fine, I'm really fine. ā
Lying on the back chair, the old gentleman was stubborn.
The joke hasn't been exposed yet, how can he do it!
At this time, the staff also stepped forward to check the old man's condition: "There is no major problem, but it is better to go to the hospital for a check-up." ā
"No!"
The old gentleman shook his head stubbornly,
"I know my own body, it's old, it's not a big deal!"
It's really an old problem, it's not like this has happened to him before, just take the medicine, and the old gentleman doesn't care.
Besides, compared with the national plan, what is his little problem?
I have to expose this kid today!
"This ......"
No one can beat him.
Including Mr. Wang Chengshu.
The staff looked at the top leader here, Comrade Zhang BU, and asked for his opinion, "Well, well, if you have anything uncomfortable, tell us quickly, next to the hospital......"
ā¦ā¦
After a burst of chickens and dogs, they are finally back on track.
In the venue, the atmosphere was a little ...... Subtle?
I haven't even begun to refute yet, sir, are you so excited?
Liu Feng felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
He opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, if he provoked the old man again, his sin would be great.
I thought it was because I accidentally stimulated the old man, if I knew the old man's true thoughts, I don't know if he would spurt three liters of blood and die.
"The ......"
"Xiao Liu, don't worry, you keep talking. ā
Mr. Zhu Qihe nodded and said with relief.
"That'...... that's good"
took a deep breath, the stakes are high, now is not the time for him to be "soft-hearted",
"The development of antimatter technology and the development of collider technology are mutually reinforcing...... However, when were the existing hadron colliders in the world built? Can they keep up with the development of the times? The answer is no!"
"In chronological order, the positron and negative electron collider SPEAR at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in country M was built in 1961!"
"The Brookhaven National Laboratory collider was built in 1962!"
"CERN's proton collider ISR was built in 1971!"
"The proton collider at the Fermi National Laboratory in country M was built in 1974!"
"The electron-positron collider (PETRA) at the Hamburg Electron Synchrotron Center in country D was built in 1979!"
"China's Beijing Positron Collider was built in 1990!"
"The Positron and Negative Electron Collider (KEKB) at the Toray High Energy Accelerator Research Center was built in 1998!"
"Although CERN's newest Large Hadron Collider, LHCb, was built in 2008, its construction principle and instrument design began in 1998!"
Gradually, Liu Feng regained his rhythm,
"These colliders weren't built to explore antimatter at all, in other words, they're not professional at all!"
"And there's a very significant problem with each of these colliders,"
Looking up and accidentally looking at Mr. Li, Liu Feng swore and said,
"That'sā
They're all old......"
