The two gatherers followed the intrusive hole from the outside of the area to transport the material into the area, each choosing a relatively open place to give birth to a towering pillar of bones, which grew upwards to close the distance to the microwave source.

The reason why collectors are so concerned about microwave sources is that they are very concerned about the signs it exhibits, and they have already made their own guesses about the microwave sources from the signs, and now they are only confirming such guesses.

The bone columns in two different places grow upwards together, and the rate of growth is also the same because the speed of resource delivery is comparable.

Allowing the bone column to grow like this for a period of time, the bone column is at a certain height, and the collector can get a full picture of the interior of the area with visual observation.

The interior of the area is a very uniform spherical space, which proves that the force on the whole area is very uniform.

Everything inside, except for the microwave source, everything else is 'pasted' on the inner wall, this kind of sticking does not rely on pasting, but just describes, if you want to compare it more like gravity, some unknown force presses everything inside the area on the inner wall.

As the height increases, the closer the bone column goes, the stronger the resistance encountered, and the collectors carefully control the torque distributed inside the bone column to maintain balance, and continue to push upwards to get closer to the microwave source.

However, even then, the bone column eventually broke without being able to make contact with the microwave source.

Fortunately, the collectors found it in time and there was no large-scale collapse accident, and the remnants of the Hui civilization in the area were well preserved, after all, it was the collector's own body, and it would be more timely to find the damage.

"Looks like it should be right."

The gatherer, who had cleaned up the mess, stared at the microwave source directly above and revealed his thoughts to his kind.

"It's hard to say, I decided to test it again, this thing...... It's too unconventional, so it's better to be cautious. ”

"How are you going to test it?"

"With a radiographic test, I am responsible for transmitting, and you are responsible for receiving."

"Okay."

The two gatherers divided their work, one extending their roots to cover the entire inner wall, and the other giving birth to a lump of flesh with a long tube extending from it.

The inside of the lump of meat contains multiple heat-shot crystals and a metal plate, followed by a circle of conductive rings that extend from the inside outward to form a long tube - this is a proton gun, and high-energy heat rays hitting the metal plate produce a large number of protons, which are deflected by the electric field of the conductive circle due to their apparent conductivity and emitted from the long tube.

The proton gun is not very powerful, because it is not a weapon, it is just an experimental measurement tool, so it does not need to be paired with a higher energy source.

When everything was ready, the collector fired a beam of protons towards the microwave source.

"Sure enough, the test results were exactly what we thought." 596

The collector responsible for receiving answers in the next second.

"That's really that thing, that's right, the microwave source is 'negative matter', or there is 'negative matter' inside the microwave source."

The results of the test allowed the collectors to determine that the positive body that existed in the area with an approximate gravitational force and an unknown position was the repulsion generated by the negative matter.

Upon entering the interior of the zone, the collector noticed that the metabolism of the cells inside the zone was accelerating for an inexplicable reason, and the cells inside the zone had a shorter lifespan than the cells outside the zone.

At first, the two collectors thought they were affected by microwaves, or some other factor within the area.

It wasn't until the two of them noticed the unknown position inside the area, similar to the force of gravity, that everything in the area was pressed against the inner wall, making the inner wall become 'earth', combined with the space-time distortion phenomenon found above, there was a conjecture of 'negative matter'.

Negative matter, as the name suggests, is a substance with a negative mass, the opposite of positive matter, showing a strong repulsive force, just like gravitational force, this repulsion is also a manifestation of space-time, around the black hole due to gravity, time there will be much slower than normal space-time, and around high-density negative matter is the opposite, the passage of time will be accelerated, which is why the collector will find that the cells inside the region are more than outside the area, That is, the rate of cell metabolism in the normal space-time environment is faster.

The first attempt to approach the microwave source through the bone column is to try to confirm the negative matter conjecture, the formation of black holes has little to do with mass, but with density, even if two protons, when they are close to each other below the Schwarzschild radius, a black hole will be formed, and the same principle can be applied to negative matter.

Negative matter shows repulsion in the performance of space-time, that is, negative matter can never come into contact with any matter, and the repulsion field of space-time will spontaneously repel any matter, and as the distance from negative matter is shortened, this repulsion force will become more and more powerful, just like breaking through the event horizon of a black hole needs to accelerate matter to the speed of light, and the energy required to contact with negative matter is also the speed of light.

Because of the shocking nature of this kind of thing, even though the test of the skeletal column confirmed the space-time repulsion field, the collectors decided to do it in a different way, which was to emit a proton beam.

Protons are emitted to meet the microwave source and then return the same way, which proves that the space-time repulsion field does not exist, and the result is that there is a space-time repulsion field, that is, there is negative matter.

The results of the second test confirmed the conjectures of the two gatherers, and they were shocked by the facts.

"Too ...... It was shocking. ”

"That's right, this kind of thing shouldn't exist, theoretically speaking, it can't be formed at all."

The repulsive force of negative matter is similar to gravitational force and is a space-time field, which means that negative matter will repel all matter, including negative matter of the same type.

What does this mean?

This means that it is impossible for negative matter particles to combine into macroscopic mass like positive matter particles, because negative matter particles are also repelling each other, and as the distance decreases, the repulsion force becomes stronger, and the energy required to forcibly combine together is definitely more than the total mass of the universe.

In fact, in the cosmology of the collectors, negative matter does not exist, because I also know that negative matter particles, if they exist, will show a strong universal repulsion, repel all matter, and then fly around in the universe, stirring the plasma soup environment of the early universe like a soup spoon.

The entire cosmic environment will become unrecognizable, and it will not be what it is now.

However, such a thing as negative matter appeared alive in front of the two gatherers, in the ruins of the Hui civilization.
