Chapter 190: Fermi Lab (First Update)

The sea breeze was blowing, and sitting in the driver's seat of Donald Duck, Anna had been at sea for two days.

From Brookhaven, New York, to Florida, and from Florida north to Illinois via the Mississippi River.

"Life at sea is terrible!"

Standing on the deck of the Benjamin and looking down, the bottom is 40 meters of the deep blue water, and it is said that the bluer the water, the deeper the water.

"It's almost to Florida!" Standing next to him was Hugh Jones, with Jamaica Bay on his head, and Stark was his old benefactor, whether he admitted it or not.

Looking west, there is the boundary of waters, where the freshwater of the Mississippi River meets the saltwater of the Florida Sea, where water bodies of different densities meet to form an "ocean front".

A narrow transition zone.

On the front, there are occasional fish jumping out of the water, and the convergence of different bodies of water brings abundant nutrients, and fish like to grow in such water bodies.

The fishing net is lifted, and a swordfish strays into it.

"The swordfish is delicious and delicious." Anna remembered the life of drifting at sea, and the days of sitting on the back of a whale were not very pleasant, and the water sprayed by the whale was fishy, smelly, and snotty.

There are also whales on their backs, with sea lice, and they look disgusting to the thieves.

It seems that the Benjamin is sitting on the return from drifting!

"Mr. Jones, you have such a heart!"

Hehe... Hugh Jones clasped his hands: "There are no ferries that can be pumped recently, Southeast Asia is developing very fast, and a large number of ferries are needed every month, which is still drawn out of my busy schedule." ”

Pulling out a piece of, Anna remembers that the Benjamin seems to be the largest long-range ship in Rockson, 100,000 tons, 325 meters in the whole field, and a single cargo volume can send 20,000 containers.

This time, however, it was only one item being shipped.

A giant electromagnet weighing 1,250 tons.

On the deck, Stark wears a white hat and directs the power armor to assemble equipment.

A giant electromagnet with a diameter of 50 meters in a circular circle, horseshoe-shaped, standing in front of the magnet, Anna rises and rises, rises to the limit, and still can't see the plane of the magnet.

Unable to do so, pressing the button, Donald Duck squirted out the Mach disc and jumped on the iron block.

On the magnet, there are more than a dozen power armors flying, from Mark 6 to Mark 20, and the most energetic ones are the most inconspicuous.

The power armor called the "welder" has eight arms, each of which holds a dressing, a welding gun, and an acetylene cutting flame...... All eight arms were full.

He was carrying oxygen cylinders, acetylene cylinders, and carbon dioxide protective gas cylinders, all of which were full.

"Hey! Assembler, you got it wrong, I want a relay, what do you do with the solenoid valve for me. ”

Stark was wearing sunglasses and pointed to a certain power armor, that is, he was carrying a back on his back, which was oversized, with a diameter of five meters, made of steel, and it was full of various solenoid valve relays and butterfly valves.

Above the back, two or three power armors run through it, like worker bees in a honeycomb.

Giant magnets are not only magnets, but also external solenoid valves, screws and bolts in the thousands.

It is estimated that by the time it is actually completed, the mass will exceed 2,000 tons, and Mickey can't even move it.

Rumble... A bolt fell from the sky, smashed into Donald Duck's side, smashed the deck to the ground, and rolled twice on the ground, rolling towards Donald Duck's robot.

Wow!

It's too big, a bolt is bigger than Anna, not to mention the weight, five or six hundred catties, and it's also a shame for Anna to sit on the Donald Duck robot, otherwise, it will be crushed into slimy.

"Anna, be careful, stay away." Stark yelled at him.

There is no safety on the construction site, and at this level, the helmet is a joke.

"Milk, be careful!"

"Milk" is the code name for the power armor, and "milk" flies down, picks up the bolt with both hands, and falls on the electromagnet.

On the electromagnet, you can also see the busy figure of various signal power armor, some screws, some solenoid valves, and welding protective plates...... A whole bunch of power armor is busy.

………………

Five days later, Stark and Anna finally arrived at their destination.

Batavia, Illinois, is a small town less than 10 kilometers away from the capital city of Chicago, but it is currently home to the world's most famous high-energy physics laboratory, Fermilab.

The school bus crossed the grassland and followed the national highway into the laboratory.

"Fermilab is currently the largest particle collision site."

"We employ 2,000 people alone, and with the addition of visiting scientists, we have more than 4,500 permanent staff in the laboratory."

Fermilab's annual budget is $300 million, but more than $200 million is spent in Illinois, where the lab is located, mostly for science popularization and reception of outsiders.

Today is the Fermilab Open Day, and students gather at the Rydman Science Center to listen to the instructors.

"There are two types of accelerators, linear accelerators and ring accelerators, so you know what kind of acceleration Fermilab uses."

"Ring Accelerator!"

"Yes, it's the Ring Accelerator, and where you are now is the source of the Ring Accelerator."

"Starting from a short linear accelerator and passing through a ring booster into the main ring."

As he spoke, the teacher pointed to the large picture of the exhibition hall of the Rydman Center and explained.

On the big picture, it is a small ring cut out of a large ring, and the linear accelerator is as short as the appendix, too short, so it is not placed in the diagram, where the small ring is the enhancer, that is, where the Reideman Center is located, which is not big, and the exhibition hall is about the same.

Compared to the 6.4 km main ring runway, it is a drop in the bucket.

Then the teacher introduced the history of Fermi Lab, told the story of Fermi, and the main founders of the lab.

Then take the students through the hallway and introduce the characters hanging on the wall one by one.

"This is Dr. Friedman, who helped design the Large Particle Collider, and is mainly responsible for the detector part."

On the portrait, the year of birth and death was written, and when they saw that the year of death was 2007, the students were curious and paid more attention.

"This is Professor Hall, who has been in charge of Fermilab for 10 years, during which time he has been an active advocate for the collection of antiprotons."

The teacher walked and narrated, walked to the founder's part, and glanced at the two mustaches on the wall - Howard Stark.

The name of the human shadow tree, in the Marvel universe, Howard Stark has left many deeds, and Fermi Lab is one of them.

"Stark Sr. chaired the discussion on the Positron Collider and was the founder of Fermilab."

Of course, Stark Sr. is talking about the collision of positrons and electrons, which is still different from the Fermilab proton collision.

It's just that, as the founder of theory and feasibility, Stark Sr. still plays a great role in making Fermi Lab the top spot.

At this time, there was a quarrel outside the exhibition hall.

"What do you say, forbid Stark to enter!! My father designed the lab, and now you're going to kick him out? Oh God, you might as well smash the display board at the Rydeman Center first. ”
