It's a wonderful phenomenon.

In the transparent vacuum tube, about the thickness of a wrist, there was a dark blue ball of light floating. If you look closely, you can see that between the two ends of the photosphere and the two poles on the inside of the vacuum tube, there is also an electron beam as thin as a hairspring.

At this moment, this vacuum tube is being placed on Lin Ling's real table.

This was the first time Jiang Chen had seen what antimatter looked like.

To be honest, when he saw the real thing, it was still a little different from what he expected. He originally thought that antimatter should be deep black, but he didn't expect it to be a little dazzling.

"This is antimatter?" Jiang Chen pointed to the vacuum tube on the table and asked Lin Ling beside him.

Lin Ling glanced at him with an idiotic gaze, coughed in a mysterious way, and opened her mouth to show off.

"A plasma with a dense core is formed inside a metal tube in an absolute vacuum using an electron beam injected with small regular angular momentum. ”

"Plasma?" Hearing a lot of professional terms, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a little big.

However, Lin Ling seemed to appreciate his expression, and the smugness on his cute little mouth was even more obvious.

"That's right, you can think of this luminous ball of light as a shell wrapped around antimatter, and in the center of this vacuum spherical shell is an extremely black particle that oscillates irregularly, which is what is commonly referred to as antimatter. We often refer to this method as the magnetic confinement method. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Ling added with a wicked smile.

"It's only 1, but it can be erased from the map in an instant. ”

Jiang Chen's brows jumped suddenly, but he didn't show the scared expression that Lin Ling expected.

"Isn't there a safety problem just like this?"

"Don't worry about safety, this plasma is very stable, and it can even be said that it is perfect that people can't help but wonder how those guys in the void do it. ”

"Can't you do it with 22nd century technology?" Jiang Chen looked at Lin Ling with some surprise.

Lin Ling shook her head.

"Not to mention the formation of such a peculiar plasma spherical shell, it is not an easy task for the twenty-second century to pump this vacuum tube into an absolute vacuum. You know, even the universe is not an absolute vacuum. In addition to the matter that we can see, there is also dark matter that we cannot see, and it is definitely not easy to eliminate all these things. ”

After a pause, looking at the positive air tube, Lin Ling continued to mutter.

"Although atoms are electrically neutral, they also have a weak magnetic distance. Standing on the back side of matter, the same is true for antimatter. By using a special magnetic field, antimatter can be confined to a certain space. Surprising designAlthough human observations of antimatter date back to the 20th century, until 2 centuries later, no one has been able to store antimatter in a plasma. ”

"How about using antimatter as a weapon?" Jiang Chen immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.

"The power is amazing, but I advise you not to use interstellar age weapons on Earth. Lin Ling glanced at Jiang Chen, "Theoretically, if there is nothing that can defend against antimatter clusters, any positive matter that is touched by antimatter will quickly annihilate and convert 100 masses into energy, which will be released in the form of high-energy gamma rays." By the way, the hydrogen bomb has only a mass-energy conversion of 0.7. In order to destroy the earth, only 1 of antimatter will need to fall to the ground, which is why antimatter is listed as a forbidden research project. ”

After listening to Lin Ling's explanation, Jiang Chen knew why the Void Remnants compared this thing to their last hope.

With such terrifying lethality, if it can possess antimatter weapons, the civilization of the earth will not be able to fight with the harmonious civilization 20.5 light years away!

As if seeing the emotion on Jiang Chen's face, Lin Ling reminded him in a low voice.

"But don't get too excited, those people in the void just gave us a sample, whether it's the manufacturing process or the related technology, our foundation is zero. ”

"Do you want to start from scratch, it's okay, I believe in your ability!" Jiang Chen laughed and patted Lin Ling on the shoulder, "The research on antimatter will be handed over to you!"

"Don't leave everything to me! I'm still working on the subject you gave me to take people through! And even if it's me, I have zero foundation for things like antimatter, so I'd like to find some physicists who are biased towards this aspect of research to do this. Moreover, it is better to study the extraction of antimatter in outer space, and it is very dangerous to do this on the surface of the earth, okay?" Lin Ling protested.

Lin Ling didn't have any more ways to deal with things like antimatter, but she still helped Jiang Chen design a research idea.

The topic is divided into three parts.

The first part is to study how to make containers in absolute vacuum, which are used for the storage of plasma that encapsulates antimatter.

The second part is to study how to make this kind of plasma that can magnetically confine antimatter and wrap it around antimatter.

The third part is how to produce antiparticles more efficiently with the High Energy Particle Collider and collect them before they decay with a magnetic field.

In fact, how to produce antimatter is the easiest step, after all, in 2014 CERN successfully created an antihydrogen atomic beam. It was a 2.7-meter-long antimatter beam made of 80 antihydrogen atoms, but no one had been able to preserve it and manufacture it on a large scale.

These high-energy ion accelerators typically produce only a few nanograms of antihydrogen atoms per year, and a nanogram is one billionth of a gram.

After leaving Lin Ling's room, Jiang Chen went to the community center of the fish bone base and handed over the text of the new research project team to Wang Qing.

"The lack of talent from the shelter to find a way to mark the physical room near Suzhou and Hangzhou Province, the expeditionary force will be responsible for the recovery work. ”

"Antimatter?" Wang Qing was a little confused when she held the text in her hand, but since it was the marshal's request, she still nodded seriously, "Okay, I will give the order." By the way, there was news from Hongcheng some time ago. ”

"Hongcheng, what's the news?"

"Compared with some time ago, the merchants of the Northern United Region who are active in United City and Qingshan Town have increased a lot. At the same time, Wu Qian, the president of the Steel Gear Chamber of Commerce, also received news that these merchants in the Northern United Region who were active in the Hongcheng area seemed to be buying steel, rare earths, and electronic components on a large scale, and showed a lack of interest in other goods. ”

"Buying steel?" Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, looked at Wang Qing and continued, "Increase the ratio of credits to subcrystals, and let us control several heterogeneous ranches under Zhanì to increase the output of subcrystals." ”

The depreciation of the Ajents will undoubtedly increase the cost of buying steel for the merchants of the Northern Unified Region who use the Ajens as currency. Although this will have an impact on the local economy to a certain extent, it can effectively curb the outflow of strategic resources caused by the market economy.

"In addition, increase the orders for the decentralization of the military factory in the sixth block, and be sure to double the production capacity of the military factory by the end of this year!"

After a pause, Jiang Chen continued.

"Finally, be prepared for war. "To be continued
