Chapter 431: Antimatter Engineering (Part I)

According to the construction plan, the transported organisms crossed several units to the near side of the star, and reversed the trajectory to enter the orbit at an inscribed angle, with the star as the center in a circular motion.

"I've reached the star." After using radio communications to send messages to the population, the transporting creature fell silent, which was the most energy-efficient way to wait, waiting for more supplies to be delivered, and the supplies it carried were only a part of what a large individual needed to conceive.

During this period, the problem of energy consumption is solved by photosynthesis of transported organisms, and the problem of heat accumulation caused by shortening the distance is also solved by the substances carried, so it is not a big problem.

Over time, more transporting creatures were conceived by the primordial creatures and arrived near the stars with large amounts of matter, and then entered the same silent state as the first transporting creatures, waiting for their follow-up kinds.

When the hoarding of matter reached the planned requirements, hundreds of transport creatures broke away from the group and gathered together to form a huge cocoon, which slowly began to rotate while orbiting the star, and the central axis of the axis of rotation was perpendicular to the direction of the star.

The cocoon expands more and more in this state of rotation and absorbs the energy of the star to rectify the matter, in the same way as the hive, processing or dismantling molecular compounds by gaining and losing electrons.

Gradually, the appearance of the cocoon changed from a swelling sarcoma to an almost spinning top, with the two cones merging at the bottom to give it its shape.

The angle of the cone facing the star is obtuse, because the vinegar part is large, but the height is not high, and the opposite side has a very high cone angle, but because the bottom is in line with each other, the height of the cone is very high.

At this time, the cocoon no longer shows a state of continuous expansion and contraction, it is straightened by the combination of two cones.

After another period of time, the tentacle with a single molecular form pierced the cocoon, and stuffed the cocoon's substance into the mouthparts on its side, completing the recovery of the substance.

Presented in the vacuum of the universe is a very strange biological structure, which is still in its rotation and never stops, and the central axis is a bone, which runs straight through the organism, perpendicular to the surface of the star.

Rather than the bones of the organism, there is some flesh covered from the bones, most of which is concentrated at the end near the star, and the hollow bones point to the deep space side of the universe without much flesh on it.

Subsequently, the skeletal scaffold is extended parallel to the star, and the black-brown flesh membrane that absorbs light energy and converts it into electricity is draped, which is the same principle as a rhizome, and the organism can obtain a great deal of electricity from this.

The hollow bones slowly grow several layers of microfiber films, the spacing between the films is not large, but they are all filled with chlorine gas, because the microfiber film itself does not contain hydrogen elements, nor metal elements, and is composed of carbon and oxygen elements, so it will not form hydrochloric acid or be corroded by chlorine.

This is a sample organism, and the collectors have no experience, so they need to make experimental antimatter, and if they can successfully create antimatter, they will start to breed such creatures in large quantities for the population, and expand the scale of production.

To make antimatter, you first need to know what antimatter is. Antimatter is the anti-state of normal matter, except that it has the same properties as positive matter, which is equal in electricity but opposite in electricality.

Antimatter also reacts with each other, and nuclear fusion reactions can also occur between antimatter and antimatter, and the energy released is not much different from positive matter nuclear fusion, except that the discharge of charge radiation is positive.

Once this is known, it is time to start making antimatter, which the gatherers are going to make is anti-hydrogen atoms.

In fact, the principle is very simple, find a way to create a positive charge and an antiproton, and then combine the two particles to form an antihydrogen atom.

It's very simple, but the question is, how to create a positive charge? How do you make antiprotons? And how do you make them obedient and obedient to each other?

Even if they combine together to form antihydrogen atoms, how do you know if the antimatter has been successfully manufactured?

How do you induce antihydrogen atoms to be stored? These are all questions. And now, the gatherers have solved it.

In nuclear fusion, the fusion of four protons into one helium nucleus will release two electron neutrinos and two positrons at the same time, so the production of antimatter near the star has a natural material resource advantage.

The problem is how to filter out the positrons from the various radiation released by the star for particle processing, and the chlorine gas in the hollow bones will absorb the metal ion stream and hydrogen ion flow released from the star, and the positron flow will be filtered out.

Positrons are also electrons, but they carry a positive charge, so they can also be affected by a strong electric field as long as they are reversed, and the collectors use this to reverse the acceleration of the electric field to reduce the movement speed of the positrons.

Of course, despite this, the positron is still moving very fast, cutting off about 15 percent of the positron's speed of light, and then meeting the antiproton that is also decelerating under the action of an electric field.

Then there are antiprotons, which are much more difficult than positrons, and in order for antiprotons to appear, a large number of protons are needed to bombard metal targets, and the energy level required is about 2000 times that of positron formation, which means that particle accelerators need to be used.

To do this, the collectors had to design another set of organisms. After confirming that the positrons were well filtered out, not much different from what was expected, more than a dozen transport organisms left the colony and formed a particle accelerator capable of producing antiprotons.

This creature is also a hollow bone that runs through the whole, but unlike the organism that collects positrons, it has two rings of bone extensions, one is an acceleration ring, which is used to accelerate the flow of protons to bombard a metal target to make antiprotons, and the other is a binding ring, which is used to combine antiprotons and positrons to become antihydrogen atoms.

It also has a black-brown flesh film that produces electricity from light energy, and it is larger and wider than the previous organisms that collect positrons, if the flesh film that collects positron organisms is one, then the flesh film that makes antiproton organisms is hundred.

In order to make antimatter, a strong magnetic field is an indispensable part in general, and in order to form a strong magnetic field stably, a huge amount of electrical energy is required.

That's why the gatherers, as well as Hogu, believe that antimatter should be made into organisms and built near stars, because this place is really suitable.

To have energy, to have positrons, to have positrons, all exist, is there a better place?
