Chapter 26: Antimatter

Erdan nodded, "The truth sounds very good. So what is the power method of nuclear power? Could it be built into a jet? Like an airplane rocket? ”

"Hey, you guessed it right, you could think of it as the jet engine you use on your plane. There is even a spout at our feet, the caliber of which is larger than ten football fields, even a hundred times a thousand times larger. When the planetary engine is turned on, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, among other things, are going on inside. Every time it erupts, the flames are like flares from the sun, and like the eruptions of a supervolcano on Earth, even magma can be ejected. The flames are faster than ever before, so they provide unprecedented power. To propel the moon, one jet is not enough, thousands of jets are needed. This will be a complex and huge project, which will take thousands of years to complete. "Alice.

"How can you dig such a big pit? With an excavator, it's a little difficult, right? Full fucking stone. "Erdan, I can't be thundered anymore.

Li Erdan's words have lost the face of the earthlings, and when it comes to digging pits, he will think of excavators, as if excavators are omnipotent. We don't just use excavators to dig big holes on earth, for example, when we dig tunnels and fortifications in the mountains, the excavator can't dig them, and they have to be blown up with explosives.

Alice couldn't help laughing and said, "You know that the excavator, Lan Xiang's advertisements are too much, right?" Don't you know how to use explosives? Don't know about directional blasting? Of course, the bombs used are not the explosives you know, Shenma's black powder, picric acid, black sokin, plastic explosives, etc., and the laser cannon particle cannon is not, but a kind of explosive with the most energy in the universe, antimatter bombs, when directional blasting, can blow up a super big pit at once. ”

"Is there really an antimatter bomb? I've heard that theoretically this thing is a zài, but in reality, I didn't find it as a geoscientist, and I can't build it. "Two eggs.

"You Earth scientists, you're weak." Alice.

……

Antimatter bombs, Erdan has also heard of them, through the annihilation of positive and antimatter, they can convert 100% of the mass into energy, and the lethality is incomparable. Nuclear fission only releases about 10 percent of the energy, and nuclear fusion, although high, is far less than 100 percent. The energy released by the explosion of an antimatter bomb is very easy to calculate, according to Einstein's mass-energy equation, the mass is multiplied by the square of the speed of light, that is, multiplied by ten to the sixteenth power and multiplied by three, in joules.

One gram, just one gram, one gram of antimatter bomb released the same energy as the 20,000-ton atomic bomb that Milligen dropped on Hiroshima in the East Ocean. With a slight push, a kilogram of antimatter bombs can almost wipe the East Ocean off the face of the earth, leaving no dust behind.

The antimatter bomb has many advantages, first of all, it is very green, greener than the hydrogen bomb, and the energy released is very pure, there is no nuclear radiation, no light pollution, and after the explosion, it disappears by itself, disappears from the material world, and all becomes energy, that is, electromagnetic waves. Secondly, the antimatter bomb has a high energy density, it is easy to explode, it is not as harsh as the atomic bomb, and it is a critical mass and a miracle. It was because the atomic bomb explosion was so harsh that the terrorists would not be able to use it. In addition, unlike the hydrogen bomb, which requires extremely high temperatures to detonate, it must be combined with an atomic bomb to explode. Antimatter bombs, which can explode with just the touch of positive and antimatter, can even be understood as moving a finger.

If the earth's civilization has the technology to use antimatter, not for military use, but for social life, why worry about the lack of energy! Where else to engage in energy conservation and emission reduction, power outage and power rationing? No, no. Household appliances such as light bulbs and televisions do not need to be turned off 24 hours a day because electricity is free. The reason is that we have too much energy on the earth to be used up, benefiting the people and benefiting the people. Also, interstellar travel is no longer a dream, antimatter is used in rockets, there is no need to worry about running out of fuel, and the speed can reach unprecedented high speeds, accelerating to a certain distance dù can approach the speed of light, provided that the material of the rocket can keep up with it, and it will not disintegrate because the speed is too fast.

However, in the vast space, antimatter cannot be touched or seen, where can I find it?

Well, can't find it, really can't find it. However, if you can't find it, we earthlings can make it ourselves, and make hundreds of tons and thousands of tons of it.

Millican was the most enthusiastic about the study of antimatter, which he began in 83 years, and has been studying it for decades now, but he has not found a single reason. Of course, there are some results, such as reducing the cost of "making" antimatter, and reducing the cost of making antimatter from $1 billion to $100 million in millionths of a gram. If you calculate it this way, it doesn't cost much money to make one gram of antimatter, just one hundred trillion dollars, and Millican's GDP for seven or eight years.

Here, we must believe, and firmly believe, that with the development of science and technology, the cost of manufacturing antimatter will be reduced, from one hundred trillion dollars per gram to one trillion dollars per gram, a tenfold reduction. In that case, our annual GDP in China can produce several grams of antimatter.

Similarly, the European Organization for Nuclear (CERN) is very enthusiastic about antimatter, and they have knocked out a number of antiprotons, negatively charged protons, through the Guò High Energy Particle Collider.

Aren't these antiprotons a type of antimatter? The moment the positive and negative protons touched, a miniature antimatter bomb was born. Of course, the annihilation of two positive and negative protons alone does not produce much energy, and there must be enough of it.

Although the European Organization discovered antiprotons, it also brought about a difficult problem, the preservation of antiprotons. Antiprotons are not easy to preserve, too bad to preserve.

Before the creation of usable antimatter, scientists were already working on its preservation. Antimatter cannot come into contact with matter, and as soon as it comes into contact, it disappears and explodes. Scientists have proposed to use a strong magnetic field to bind antimatter, and they don't know whether it is good or not. After all, antimatter is still theoretical, and no one knows the specifics.

"Just because you can't make antimatter on Earth doesn't mean that we can't make it in Celestial Wolf and Atlantis. Actually, we can make it, but we don't bother to build it, because space is full of antimatter, and its content is enough for us to use, and the cost of mining is much lower than the cost of manufacturing. As long as you have the ability to get it and can store it well, you can make as much as you want. "Alice, I look down on us earthlings in a tone. Arrogance, yes, arrogance.
