Volume 2: Chapter Sixty-Three - Antimatter Sends Humans to Interstellar Travel

-- At the beginning of the 22nd century, scientists on the moon had planned to build an unmanned spacecraft that would allow it to travel to Barnard, about 6 light-years from Earth. At that time, the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info considered using nuclear fusion to power the spacecraft, but because of

Failure to solve problems such as "the launch of nuclear fusion" and "the excessive size of the ship's hull" led to the eventual abortion of the plan.

- In the 80s of the 22nd century, he moved to Mars and wood

The human space agencies of Guardian II and Titan (which have been detected by humans that Europa and Titan have underground seas that can be used to build underwater cities and other dwelling facilities) have introduced the initial idea of an antimatter engine. so-called

Antimatter refers to particles of equal mass and opposite charge that correspond to "normal" particles such as protons, electrons, or neutrons that make up matter. General matter reacts with antimatter, causing "

The phenomenon of "annihilation", the mass of the substance is all converted into energy, and the efficiency of its energy release is 10 billion times that of the hydrogen and oxygen fuel used in the space shuttle, and 1,000 times that of the nuclear fission reaction of the nuclear power plant

300 times the fusion reaction. Antimatter the size of an aspirin pill produces enough energy for a spacecraft to cruise hundreds of light-years into cosmic deep space, and 100 milligrams of antimatter is enough to replace sailing

Fuel in the huge fuel tanks and thrusters on the sky plane. Therefore, it is the best choice to build an antimatter engine with high energy and light weight.

-- The antimatter engine design scheme adopted by Ling Xiao, an aerospace program control engineer, and others is divided into annihilation methods

There are four cores: solid core, gas core, plasma core and particle beam core. The first option is to carry out an annihilation reaction inside the heat exchange device, using the energy generated to heat the oxygen propellant and use it

The spout erupts. The next two options are to have the antimatter react directly with the oxygen propellant, and magnetically control the generated charged mesons or ionic slurry to be ejected from the vent. The last one

The solution is to directly carry out a one-to-one annihilation reaction, and then magnetically control the generated charged mesons and let them eject from the nozzle. The advantage of this approach is that only antimatter fuel is required, no propulsion is required

agent, which can greatly reduce the load on the spacecraft. The spacecraft using the particle beam core engine can reach a speed of 117 kilometers per second, compared to the "Voyager 1" launched in the 70s of the 20th century

The vehicle is almost like a turtle -- with a speed of only 17 or 4 kilometers per second -- and the modified spacecraft has been tested several times to fly from Earth to Mars using a particle beam-core antimatter engine

It takes as little as 22 hours and as little as 12-14 days – that's the sub-light speed spacecraft for interplanetary travel.

-- Using the Particle Beam Core Antimatter Engine, the Flying Boat

It only takes a few milligrams of antimatter to swim in the solar system. However, if you want to go to planets outside the solar system as far away as Bardna, Sirius, Fairy Constellation, etc., it will take thousands or more

Tens of thousands of milligrams of antimatter, far beyond the manufacturing capacity of the Martian space launch station. In fact, the most advanced accelerator at the Mars space launch station can only produce a billionth of a gram in a few months

antihydrogen atoms; If you want to get a large number of anti-hydrogen atoms, you must invest a huge amount of money in the construction of cold ring equipment that is indispensable for the production of anti-hydrogen atoms. It seems that the antimatter propelled faster-than-light spacecraft will be launched

Humanity also needs to invent a tachyon beam core antimatter generator, perhaps within the next millennium – that is, galactic galaxies or extragalactic interstellar travel。。。。。。
