Chapter 177: Black Hole Energy Source
"Your project team has recently visited the Institute of Aerospace Materials and Technology in the United States and the Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Center in China. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is looking for a wide range of experts to work together to solve this problem. Yuan Haochen was silent for a long time and then proposed.
"Understood, we will act as soon as possible." Angelina replied.
Yuan Haochen knew very well that if the problems of material technology and industrial manufacturing could be solved, many problems would be solved.
"Angelina, the other scientists at your joint base will try to design an energy conversion bridge first, retain the core components of alien technology, and use the conversion bridge to connect alien technology and ours." Yuan Haochen added.
"Okay, if it's just this task, we'll do it soon."
Angelina and the rest of the team knew that this simple and clumsy approach didn't take much time.
"In this way, even if we can't replicate this extraterrestrial science and technology in large quantities for the time being, at least we can use it as a tool."
Yuan Haochen's purpose in doing this is naturally to prepare for the launch of the laser sail miniature space telescope in the near future.
If necessary, he could deliver a laser emitter from an artificial black hole system to the space station, and use the powerful laser source it emits to accelerate the laser sail miniature space telescope in space, and eventually send it to the Centaur Alpha star system.
It's tedious, but it's the most feasible way to do it.
Although the artificial black hole dynamical system also has the ability to accelerate miniature space telescopes to nearly the speed of light, it is certainly impossible for Earth civilization to fully master and skillfully use it in a short period of time.
"The launch of the miniature space telescope can't wait too long, otherwise the daylilies will be cold!"
Thinking of this, Yuan Haochen shook his head helplessly, he really envied and admired the civilized world of the alien doctor.
Because, their civilized world has obviously mastered the super technology of using the energy of black holes, while the current technological level of the earth's civilization is still in the theoretical stage.
Through research and analysis, the extraterrestrial civilization project team speculated that the alien doctors first used the artificial black hole dynamical system to build a subatomic miniature black hole, and then converted the high-energy gamma rays emitted by the miniature black hole into electrons and positron pairs (positron pairs belong to antimatter) and other high-energy particles, which were deflected by electromagnetic fields to form a power device similar to a jet engine.
So, they can use the subatomic miniature black hole energy source to support interstellar travel for long enough periods of time and accelerate the spacecraft to the highest speed allowed by relativity – infinitely approaching the speed of light.
Like all astrophysicists, Hara understands that the ultimate source of energy in nature is black holes, especially those with abundant energy.
Based on billions of times the mass of the Sun, supermassive black holes can be powerful beacons in distant space, and their huge gravitational fields allow for the conversion of mass and energy.
For super civilizations in the universe, even "black holes" the size of ordinary batteries can be created.
Cosmic supercivilizations can form a sphere of radiation by emitting a powerful gamma-ray laser beam, and further gather energy under the action of their own gravitational field, eventually collapsing, thus giving birth to an artificial black hole, which may be like a battery (according to the calculations of black hole scientists, a black hole with a mass of 1 million tons can even be bound into the void with only one atomic radius).
In addition, if a cosmic supercivilization builds its first large black hole, it is possible that they will use the energy of the black hole to direct energy production and form a large group of sub-black holes as the civilization's energy source.
However, it is not easy to use black hole energy efficiently.
Black holesmen have envisioned that miniature black hole energy sources need to have a spherical shielding field, and perhaps some of the top civilizations in the universe can even create a black hole energy source start-up and shutdown system beyond human imagination.
If such a source of energy can be possessed, then the cosmic civilization is almost indistinguishable from God.
Interstellar travel will be a by-product of the alien empire, and they will have access to an almost unimaginable abundance of energy that will allow them to settle anywhere in the galaxy.
Although some scientists believe that using antimatter as a source of quantity to accelerate spacecraft is the best way to travel stars.
However, antimatter technology has obvious disadvantages compared to black hole energy sources.
First of all, the difficulty and danger of making antimatter is no less than that of making a black hole energy source (at present, we can already generate antimatter through the collision of elementary particles in the high-energy physics laboratory, but as soon as the antimatter is generated, it will instantly come into contact with positive matter and annihilate, and it will only exist in the form of photons, which can only exist for 10 minus 20 square seconds).
Secondly, how to bind the storage of antimatter is a big and biggest problem. In contrast, black holes can firmly "bind" themselves because they have a strong gravitational field.
Antimatter: For example, when you look in the mirror, you are the opposite of you in the mirror. In physics, antiprotons (normal protons are positively charged, antiprotons are negatively charged) and antineutrons form anti-nuclei, anti-nuclei and positrons (normal electrons are negatively charged) make up anti-atoms, and various anti-atoms make up various antimatter. Antimatter is the anti-state of normal matter. When the positive and antimatter meet, the two sides annihilate each other (the positive and negative disappear), explode and produce a huge amount of energy. The energy release rate is much higher than that of a hydrogen bomb explosion. 】

After explaining the work of Angelina and the others a little, Yuan Haochen turned around and returned to his office.
As soon as Yuan Haochen pushed open the door of the office, he saw that Li Yueqing, Bai Carrey, and Hathaway, the three members of the extraterrestrial artificial gravity field theory and application research project, were already waiting for him in the reception room.
"Hello team leader!" Seeing Yuan Haochen enter the door, the three of them immediately got up to greet him.
"Sit down, you've been waiting for a long time." Yuan Haochen motioned for the three of them to sit down, and asked straight to the point, "Is there a sexual discovery in the gyro acceleration collision experiment?" ”
"In the past few days since you left, Hathaway and I have been conducting collision experiments without interruption, but unfortunately, there is still no special gain." The answer was Li Yueqing, a member of the Chinese project team.
"Maybe we're going in the wrong direction this time. Maybe gravitons don't exist at all. ”
Yuan Haochen said thoughtfully. (To be continued.) )
