Chapter 461: Antimatter Advancement (Part II)

In the design concept, the original hydrogen mass spraying in the container was removed, and the gap in the container was retained, but the opening was changed, which also led to the fact that when the organism moves at high speed in the universe, although there will still be antimatter forcibly squeezed out due to inertial pressure, it will not be lost in large quantities at one time, and it is a slow release process.

It's an intentional design layout, though! According to Twilight's idea, it is to use this slow release to gradually increase the speed of living organisms in the universe, and on the outside of the gap, Twilight adds three vents to spray hydrogen gas masses for positive and antimatter annihilation.

"It's a great design, but there's a problem." [What's the problem?] 】

"The annihilation of positive and anti-matter requires positive matter and antimatter to contact each other to appear, and this design can not achieve 100% full contact between the hydrogen mass and the anti-hydrogen gas mass, in order not to make the anti-hydrogen gas mass not to be wasted, more hydrogen gas mass needs to be sprayed out, and the load is increased invisibly." Huo Gu understands the drawbacks of this design, in which there is no electric field in the area where the antimatter and the positive matter are in contact, so it is impossible to fully annihilate the positive and antimatter as the collectors designed.

"Isn't it okay to add an electric field?" A gatherer suggested this, but it was quickly refuted, and it was Twilight who refuted it.

[This is not feasible, so it needs a structure that tends to be closed, and a large part of the energy that will lead to the annihilation of positive and antimatter will be intercepted by the material structure that tends to be closed, and can only become the heat energy carried by the matter and cannot be used as a thrust, and I did not add the electric field design for this reason.

【Hogu, do you have any good methods?】 Huo Gu thought about it, it added a trumpet-like design structure at the end, and then a magnetic ring around this 'horn', and the released anti-hydrogen gas mass and hydrogen gas mass will be squeezed together under the action of the electric field to fully react, and the outward-facing trumpet-like design can not block the release of gamma rays after the annihilation of positive and antimatter as much as possible.

"In this case, the basic framework of antimatter propulsion is complete, and the next step is to refine the details and adjust the parameters of the current framework according to the situation." Hogu announces the next phase, and Twilight agrees and proposes what needs to be addressed as a priority.

[Then solve the problem of gamma radiation first.] 】

"That's right, this problem is the key point that needs to be solved, gamma rays are highly penetrating, and the ray energy level of positive and antimatter annihilation is very high, if you don't protect yourself, living organisms will be killed by their own antimatter propulsion when they are used." The gatherers echoed Twilight's suggestion, and everyone continued to work on the radiation protection design in full swing.

The simple point is to add heavy nuclear materials such as lead and bismuth, then thicken them, and stack them on top of each other – this is the only way to protect against non-reflective radiation, at least for now.

"That should be pretty much the case." The collectors observed the antimatter advancement of this semi-finished product, and they continued to modify it on the basis of the original, the front end of the antimatter container was closed, and the head and tail were connected to the antimatter container to form an antimatter container column, and when the antimatter at the rear was exhausted, the adjacent antimatter containers connected to it would be connected to each other, and the antimatter would continue to flow from the connected channel to the tail, joining the reaction of positive and antimatter annihilation.

The antimatter container column that surrounds it is a gamma-ray protective layer built of heavy nuclear matter in layers, so that it can also resist the annihilation of positive and antimatter and release high-energy gamma-ray radiation when accelerating.

The built-in neural network cell body, the lifespan is shortened by the Hogu, which increases the cell division rate, and simplifies the genes of these cells to avoid gene damage to the greatest extent.

It's just that this is not the end, gamma rays are only one aspect, there is another aspect of the problem that needs to be solved.

"In this way, the problem of radiation penetration is solved, and there is also a heat dissipation problem that needs to be solved." Although gamma rays can be blocked by the protective layer of heavy nuclear materials, it also means that the energy is trapped in the protective layer, so it needs to be cooled to take away the trapped heat in the protective layer, otherwise it will not take long for the antimatter propulsion to be started, and the entire propulsion part will be melted into a mass of high-temperature plasma by the accumulated high temperature.

In order to solve this problem, solid helium is also needed, and it is not difficult to make solid helium, which can be compressed into solid helium by using strong water pressure, and the temperature of solid helium is minus 272.2 degrees Celsius, which is already quite close to absolute zero minus 273.15 degrees Celsius.

The low temperature of solid helium can not be carried by any cell, so it is necessary to specially design the temperature insulation layer, and then design a channel, when the antimatter propulsion starts, this channel with solid helium will be opened, and the low temperature helium will be released gradually and slowly, and the heat accumulated in the gamma ray protective layer will be brought to the low temperature helium due to the flow of body fluids, and then it will be cooled, and after the cooling is completed, it will be introduced into the gamma ray protective layer again.

After this whole cycle, the so-called cooling link is completed. Antimatter propulsion can also be declared complete, and then it is only through finished product experiments to verify whether the antimatter propulsion designed by Hogu is not ideal, and whether there are any factors that have not been taken into account.

"Will, do you need to make a prototype now?" The gatherers were excited to ask Hogu for advice, and they were already eager to give it a try.

Antimatter is something that collectors have a certain level of understanding before they are mass-produced, and it is all thanks to Selene Rao's science fiction that collectors will have this kind of understanding.

But it is precisely these science fictions that make collectors subconsciously and subjectively think that 'antimatter' is something that belongs to science fantasy, and in reality it is only to the extent of thinking.

But now, they have been made, and not only have they been made, but they are also being used in the first place, and the sense of accomplishment is incomparably wonderful.

Try to imagine, take the curvature engine as an example, you rely on the knowledge in reality, according to your own understanding and ideas of knowledge, from the theoretical basis to the material application, from the parts to build and assemble the curvature engine step by step.

When the finished product appears in front of you, you will suddenly realize what an exaggerated thing you have done, and the things in your fantasy will be dragged to reality by you, and your life, your future, and your civilization will be changed because of this.

Just by your own hands! Hogu could sense the excitement of the gatherers, but he rejected their offer.

"No, let's design the other antimatter applications first and then make samples together, don't worry." What's next?]

"Weapons upgrades."
