After 1 gram of antimatter is annihilated, the energy produced is equivalent to 43,000 tons of TNT, which is already comparable to an ordinary atomic bomb, which can easily flatten a small city.

Yes, only 1 gram.

And this thing is much more dangerous than a nuclear bomb, as long as it loses its magnetic restraint, it will immediately come into contact with positive matter outside, resulting in a huge explosion.

Maybe one day, a storage device loaded with a large amount of antimatter will expire and the entire Noah will explode in an instant, and the new human will inexplicably die like this.

"Well, that's probably how the Earth was destroyed...... We have to be careful! Yu Yifeng smiled bitterly.

Professor Ding Yidong shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much, we didn't have experience at the beginning, and we couldn't create too much antimatter. Moreover, we can use a multi-layer magnetic confinement strategy, so that even if one device fails, there is a backup ...... The top of our Noah is gravityless, which is perfect for the storage of this substance......"

"New storage devices are also in development......"

In any case, it is impossible for human beings to waste food because of choking, and antimatter production still needs to be carried out.

As we talked, the experimental collection ship was getting closer to the gas planet. The secondary ion engine in front activates and shoots out a powerful blue ion jet to slow down in reverse.

"The hull is operating normally, it is decelerating, the current speed is 14.3km/s, a small amount of hydrogen in space has been detected, the radiation has increased significantly, and it is close to the top of the planet's atmosphere."

Information is constantly being passed on, and the control room is constantly sending out various feedback commands.

"Ten minutes later, the spacecraft will be officially captured by the gravitational pull of 'Mio 5' and is lowering its orbit......

"Sixty-second countdown begins, sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight, eight......"

"Arrive at the intended orbit."

“…… The air pressure is 0.0053 atm, and the gas collection work begins! ”

From the screen, you can see that four large sail-like structures are spreading out on the four sides of the ship, up, down, left, and right, and are absorbing air inside.

These are gas-gathering sails, and the air compression device inside the ship is activated, absorbing large amounts of hydrogen as well as helium. In this thin air, it takes about seven days to complete a collection.

It's a very safe boundary, the air is thin and smooth, there is no turbulence and no lightning.

Normally, the Gathering Ship will only collect fuel at this altitude, albeit taking a little longer. Once you've collected the fuel, you can break free from the planet's gravity with a slight acceleration, which is very simple and doesn't have too much danger.

However, this experiment is to measure the specific performance of the spacecraft, and it must go down specifically, at least close to the surface base layer of Mio 5.

People use 10 times the earth's atmospheric pressure as the basis of the atmosphere of "Mio 5", that is, the obvious dividing line between gaseous planets and space.

From this angle of the spacecraft, the cyclonic storm on the gas giant is as clear as an oil painting. They move and roar across the planet's surface, devouring and separating from each other, like monstrous and gigantic monsters.

These cyclones, larger than the Earth and smaller than the Moon, have no doubt about their immense power. If the spacecraft is really thrown into the atmosphere, it is estimated that ...... Can't fly out.

Ten times the atmospheric pressure, a very high-speed storm, a giant lightning, and high gravity can all take a ship in one fell swoop.

Seeing this majestic scene, Yu Yifeng also suppressed the excitement in his heart and ordered: "Continue to descend the orbital altitude!" ”

The ship continued to slow down and descend, and the surrounding air currents became stronger.

One atmosphere......

Two atmospheres......

Three atmospheres......

As the airflow intensified, the temperature on the surface of the spacecraft began to rise, and the entire screen was already shaking violently. Four gas collection sails had to be recovered, which had a serious impact on the ship's flight.

"Hmm...... If it is a research ship, some streamlined wings should be added, and now the air resistance of a spaceship of this shape is really a bit large. However, it usually does not fall to such a place. Professor Ding Yidong muttered to himself.

One can clearly see that long lightning bolts are raging in the clouds below, and they cut through the sky, and each one is more than a hundred times stronger than the earth, releasing unparalleled energy......

The infinite power of nature can only be used, and it is impossible to spend a lot of effort to fight it, otherwise it is a fool's behavior.

A group of mad scientists even excitedly discussed whether they could throw a superconducting wire directly into the concentration area of lightning and directly absorb the electrical energy inside.

"Why not? This is ready-made electricity, ultra-high voltage, and it is best to use it as an energy source for antimatter, but what kind of nuclear fusion is needed? I think it's doable! One of the experts was full of excitement, clearly pleased with his idea.

A group of scientists is also discussing whether it is possible to send a probe into the interior of a gas giant to get a glimpse of what its inner core is like.

“…… The probe has to pass through the high temperature of more than 50,000 degrees, which is hotter than the surface of the star, which is a bit difficult. And super high pressure......"

“…… There should be a magmatic core inside, and there may be an endless stream of liquid metallic hydrogen and liquid helium on the surface, similar to the ocean. But the temperature of this ocean is tens of thousands of degrees! ”

Yu Yifeng secretly wiped a cold sweat, but he was also a little curious.

Let them do it...... It's just a little material, and when the time comes, you can really take some photos, and you can also open your eyes.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of such a relaxed and generous scientific research environment that the science and technology of the new human civilization will develop explosively, and people will not be constrained by inherent ideas and do what they want to know about scientific research projects......

At this time, the spacecraft had already descended to a region of four atmospheres, some of the exposed devices had been slightly deformed, and the artificial intelligence inside had issued a large number of alarms, and they no longer dared to descend further.

A staff member was asking Yu Yifeng if he still had to force the order and continue to descend.

"Captain, the limit should be around six atmospheres, and if you go down, the spacecraft's power system may not be enough, and you may be swept into it when you encounter a high-speed cyclone, and it will be difficult to break free."

Yu Yifeng thought about it and shook his head.

Forget it, although the new human civilization has a big business, it doesn't want to lose a spaceship in vain.

Moreover, the volume of this kind of spaceship is relatively large, and now it is loaded with some cargo, and the power that bursts out is definitely not strong.

After all, it is just a gas collection device, not the kind of professional scientific research spacecraft with rough skin and thick flesh, and this operation has fully proved its stability and can be qualified for fuel collection tasks.

Going deep into the atmosphere, the fuel is collected much faster. By the time the spacecraft exploded again and broke free from the cyclone, it took more than two hours, and it was already loaded with nearly 30,000 tons of nuclear fuel.

Seeing the ship break free and re-enter the calm area, there was a small cheer from all the staff members present.

Even Yu Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Just collect fuel at this height." When you come back, check the specific parameters of this experiment and see if there are any adjustments that can be made...... The specific data is then reported to the Ministry of Industry. If there is no problem, mass production is possible. ”

In this way, with the collection spacecraft, the entire development project of the gaseous planet was successfully implemented.

The entire development project is estimated to take one to two years to complete, with a lot of supporting facilities to be done.

"Basically, all the planning is ongoing...... The momentum is very good. ”

When this matter was solved, Yu Yifeng's heart was immediately full of joy, because it meant that there were resources to be earned, and it was a lot of energy!

Both hydrogen and helium are important industrial raw materials. Needless to say, hydrogen can be used to reduce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and organic matter.

This scrooge-like feeling is really good.

"Industrial, military, and other forms of development are all flourishing...... "He pondered as he walked, and what else could be added.

When he returned to his office, he found a report on his computer desk.

"Among the people, there is a call for alien tourism? They are learning the language of the indigenous people. ”

"With such a beautiful planet, it's normal to want to experience the scenery ......of the alien planet."

"It's a matter of concern for the progress of the Wasteland Reclamation Team......
