273. Planet-level antimatter weapons!

"Without a doubt, this is a gorgeous show! Chen, I'm not as good as you. Elon Musk said to Chen Mengchuan with a smile.

Chen Mengchuan shrugged his shoulders, he cared about a lot of things, but at the same time he didn't care about a lot of things, and his reputation was among them.

"Chen, I've been looking for you for a while, come on, I'll introduce you to a guy, haha, I bet you'll be very good at talking to him." Mozirny laughed and leaned over with a man.

Chen Mengchuan smiled and looked at the two people who came over.

"Marshall, let me introduce you, this guy is Chen, the founder of Tianzhi Technology, Chen, this is Marshall." Mozirny was loud and clearly in a good mood.

"Hello, Marshall......"

"Hello, ...... Chen"

After a conversation with several people, Chen Mengchuan learned the identity of the man in his early 50s from Mojirni's mouth. Carl S. Grandson of D. Anderson.

Say Karl S. When D. Anderson was named, Chen Mengchuan and Elon Musk were slightly surprised.

Carl S. D. Anderson is a genius in the physics community and even modern physics in the United States, is the first scientist to discover and prove the positron, and also won the Nobel Prize in physics for the discovery of the positron, at the age of 25, under the guidance of the famous physicist Milligan, the depth of the study of cosmic rays, after a large number of studies and demonstrations, he found a new particle with the same mass as the electron, but with a positive charge - the positron, and at the age of 30, He won the Nobel Prize in Physics, the highest honor in science that many people find difficult to obtain in their lifetime.

Carl S. After D. Anderson demonstrated and discovered the positron, he also verified that Paul Dirac's argument was correct! Because his research, to a large extent, was based on the direction of Paul Dirac's equations.

Paul Dirac was the first to write a few years ago in the case of Carl K. Before D. Anderson studied cosmology, he published a paper in which he proposed that electrons can have both positive and negative charges. In this paper, Dirac introduced the Dirac equation for the first time, which unified quantum mechanics, special relativity, and electron spin, which was then a very new concept to explain the Zeeman effect.

The Dirac equation he gave could describe the physical behavior of fermions, explain the spin of particles, and first predict the existence of antiparticles. He also played a pioneer role in path integration and quadratic quantization, which laid an important foundation for the later development of quantum electrodynamics. In addition, he introduced the concept of topology into physics, proposing the theory of magnetic unipolarity.

"A real and shameful identity, I am far worse than my grandfather." Marshall's tone was modest.

"Alright, alright, don't show off your grandfather in front of me, you, a four-time Nobel Prize nominee in physics, are humble here with me, it makes me disgusting, you know?" Mojirny scolded with a smile.

"Chen, this guy's research in the field of annihilation, antimatter, and antiparticles, I believe that there are not many people on the earth who can surpass him, it depends on what price you give to buy him." Mojirny pointed to Marshall and said to Chen Mengchuan.

His words made the other three people present cry and laugh.

"Mr. Marshall has studied the field of antimatter deeply?" Chen Mengchuan restrained his smile slightly, and his expression was much more serious.

Chen Mengchuan is very clear that in particle physics, antimatter is an extension of the concept of antiparticles, and antimatter is composed of antiparticles, just as ordinary matter is composed of ordinary particles. For example, an antiproton and an antielectron can form an antihydrogen atom, just as an electron and a proton form a hydrogen atom of ordinary matter. Not only that, Chen Mengchuan is well aware that the combination of matter and antimatter will lead to the annihilation of the two, just like the combination of particles and antiparticles, and will also release high-energy photons, gamma rays, or other pairs of positive and negative particles with lower energy.

The kinetic energy of the particles caused by the annihilation of the positive and antimatter is equal to the kinetic energy of the original positive and antimatter pairs, plus the difference between the static mass of the original matter and the static mass of the generated particles, which usually accounts for the majority.

Under the natural environment on the earth, it is almost impossible to find the existence of antimatter phenomena, and even if they exist, they are almost fleeting and ultra-trace existences, and it is difficult to observe and find them at all. This is due to the fact that if antimatter does not exist in an artificial environment such as a physical laboratory, it will inevitably come into contact with natural matter and annihilate.

At present, antiparticles and some stable antimatter on Earth, such as antihydrogen, can be artificially produced in very small quantities in cutting-edge physics laboratories, but this amount has never been enough to verify the theoretical validity of these substances.

"Compared to Chen's Eternal Cosmic Particle Discipline, what I have studied is simply negligible."

Chen Mengchuan smiled: "Mr. Marshall seems to be a very modest and cautious person, if you have time, why don't we sit down and have an in-depth exchange, I don't know if Mr. Marshall has this time." ”

"Alright, let's talk in your office." Mojirny spoke.

Chen Mengchuan looked apologetically at Elon Maas on the side.

"Mr. Musk, I'm out of company first."

"Chen, go ahead, we'll have a lot of time to meet or talk." Elon Musk said with a smile.

After his words fell, Mojilny, who had been impatient for a long time, began to urge again.

"Toni, if you have time, let's come and talk about some interesting things." Chen Mengchuan smiled and sent a message to Toni through a small intercom device.

As a result, when the three of them walked to Chen Mengchuan's personal test area, Toni was already standing at the door waiting for them.

"Dr. Marshall!" Toni smiled and said hello.

Chen Mengchuan rolled his eyes: "You already know each other?" ”

"Yes, I met once a few days ago and exchanged a few words."

"Then there is no need to introduce it, let's do it together." Chen Mengchuan led a few people into his experimental area.

After several people sat down separately, Chen Mengchuan looked at Marshall calmly and fell into a short thought.

At present, the way to artificially create antimatter on the earth is to use the accelerated particles of high-end physical equipment to strike at a fixed target to produce antiparticles, and then slow down to synthesize. The energy required for this process is very large, and it is much greater than the energy released by annihilation, and the rate of antimatter generation is also very low, but the research direction is at least ready-made, and it is not a project out of nothing.

"Dr. Marshall, we want to use the annihilation effect of matter and antimatter, and the feasibility of converting mass into energy to develop antimatter beams, and apply the research and development of planet-level antimatter weapons, I don't know if you are interested in joining us!"

Chen Mengchuan gets straight to the point!
