Chapter 467: Degenerate Materials

Today's scientific research work, Huo Gu is completely relieved to leave the gatherers to do it themselves, although the gatherers are not as intelligent as humans, nor as smart as the Seren, and they are as flexible as them, but the huge base of high-quality people can make up for this.

Today's gatherers are no longer the children who took refuge under Hogu's wings, they have really grown up, and they will continue to grow.

"No, this can't be done, you can't thicken the gamma protective layer anymore, the size of the leaping creature is so large, if it is thickened, the space of the other biological parts of the organism will be squeezed out." In the Life Field Channel, the collectors debate the high-energy gamma rays released after the annihilation of positive and antimatter, and many individual collectors come up with a variety of solutions, which either require a new change in the structure of the organism or simply do not work.

Discussion and discussion, in the end, the only feasible solution is to increase the tonnage of *** creatures, but the collectors have little reason to adopt this plan.

"Then we can increase the volume of *** organisms, the volume of the leaping organisms in the design is not as large as the battleship of Selen Rao, as long as the deadweight tonnage is raised, the gamma protective layer can be thickened."

"You want to design a leaping creature to the size of a mothership?! Do you know how much energy it takes to accelerate a mass of that tonnage? Some collectors questioned that the collectors did not want to add too much mass to the design of the leaping creatures, although there was a lot of antimatter, it was not such a waste, and the increase in volume meant that the bones of the organism needed to bear stronger inertia when moving and changing direction.

"No, I am, I can be adjusted to the size of an Imperial cruiser." The mothership class is impossible to adopt, and the acceleration of a creature of that size to sub-light speed is very inappropriate in all respects, but if it is only the size of an Imperial cruiser, it is still within the acceptable range of the gatherers.

"It's a good approach, but it's not ideal, for every kilogram of mass of a leaping organism, the antimatter needed to accelerate to sub-light speeds will increase exponentially, and preferably without increasing the tonnage of gamma rays." Some collectors proposed this, and such a proposal attracted the complaints of collectors who expanded the deadweight tonnage, because such an idea is too beautiful, and it is difficult for non-apparent gamma rays to interact with the electromagnetic force of atoms, and generally either collide with atomic nuclei to create isotope radiation, or collide with electrons to create ionization effects.

"How can this kind of thing happen, gamma rays are not electrically known to be a well-known thing, there is a very empty area inside the atom, unless the nuclei can be squeezed together...... "The best way to completely block gamma rays is to create a wall of atomic nuclei, which can absolutely reflect any electromagnetic waves 100%.

Originally, it was just a momentary hi, but it inadvertently gave another fellow inspiration.

"That's right! It's just huddled together! I've got it! All of the gatherers were taken aback, but judging by the emotions of the life field of this fellow individual, it seemed that they were convinced that they could block gamma rays, so the collectors were curious about the plan of this fellow species.

"What do you think?" A collector asked.

"We can use metallic hydrogen as a shield for gamma rays." The proposer was very excited and eager to explain his plan to shield his fellow people from gamma rays, but this answer did not meet well with the collectors.

"Metallic hydrogen doesn't work."

"Mine is not a liquid state, it is a solid state, a crystal structure composed of hydrogen nuclei, the atoms of which are separated by the radius of the most orbital of the electron, and electromagnetic waves cannot penetrate."

“…… You're kidding? The proposer explained carefully, but the gatherers were still not optimistic, and this disapproval was not without reason.

"Do you know how massive the organism will be if it is solid metallic hydrogen that covers the entire leaping organism? This is not liquid metallic hydrogen. ”

"The acceleration of an object looks at the mass rather than the volume, you just push the volume down, but the mass is probably larger than the mothership class, and the antimatter required to accelerate to sub-light speed is a literary number."

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet." The proposer motioned to all of his fellow clansmen to calm down and let him make his ideas clear first.

The life field soon fell silent, and the proposer began to explain his idea.

"Indeed, the density of solid metal hydrogen is very large, in the end it is fundamentally different from liquid metal hydrogen, liquid metal hydrogen is a diatomic molecular structure, which still belongs to the molecular level, but solid metal hydrogen is equivalent to a bunch of protons being squeezed together."

"According to the density formula, when the density remains the same, the more mass, the more volume, but the volume of an object is calculated according to the length, width and height of the object. All the collectors need is a 'wall' that can block gamma rays, and the material structure of solid metal hydrogen is a very suitable 'wall', according to the Pauli incompatibility principle of quantum mechanics, electrons cannot penetrate such a material structure, this is a proton wall, gamma rays are also electromagnetic waves in the end, and the material carrier of electromagnetic waves is electrons, so gamma rays cannot penetrate the proton wall.

Once the logic was cleared, the gatherers discussed with each other again, exchanged views with Pets, and then asked about the proposer of the plan.

"How thick are you going to cut this layer down?"

"The thickness of two protons." The proposer confidently replied that because the protective layer is very thin, the quality will not be very high, and even much higher than the original gamma protective layer, as long as it adopts its design idea and applies it to antimatter propulsion and antimatter weapons, the quality of the leaping creatures will not only not rise, but will also decrease.

That's how it was designed!

"What do you think?"

"It seems theoretically feasible, but the technical difficulty is ......"

"It's not that hard for us to make solid metallic hydrogen." The presenter added.

"It's not difficult, yes, but manufacturing is one thing, processing is another."

"The key question is how do we control the thickness and stabilize the thickness of the solid metallic hydrogen to the thickness of two protons?"

"That's right, it's too hard to process at that density." Now that they had such a seemingly feasible solution, the gatherers began to think about how they could make such a thing.

"The way to do it is always to come up with it...... Pregnant! ”
