"That's really, expensive." The scissors sighed.

The profession of fire control officer is a profession that deals with weapons, so he is very familiar with all kinds of active, retired and even prospective weapons, and antimatter is no exception.

Don't look at the fact that human beings have entered the age of the universe, there are always some people who advocate that there are a large number of antiparticles in the universe, but although there are a large number of antiparticles in this universe, these antiparticles are the secondary products produced by the collision of high-energy particles in the universe, not the original antimatter.

The scientific community, through various means of observation, has long proved that there are absolutely no so-called antimatter galaxies within 30 million light years.

Although a certain number of antiparticles can be captured in the universe, the number of antiparticles is only of certain significance for scientific research, and it is far from enough to be used to make weapons.

There's a fountain of matter at the center of the galaxy, but when you think about it, flying to such a distant place to collect antimatter is a foolish idea.

After all, our galaxy is made up of positive matter, and when positive matter approaches the antimatter fountain, it will inevitably meet antiparticles.

It's a good idea to isolate antiparticles with a force field, but with a force field, you don't want to collect antimatter.

Many people believe that the Tunguska explosion that occurred in Siberia in 1908 was caused by antimatter, but this speculation is the least reliable of all speculations, because the air is composed of positive matter, and no matter what kind of antimatter enters the atmosphere, the first thing it comes into contact with is the air, so close to the earth's antimatter. Annihilation occurs when it comes into contact with the upper layers of the atmosphere, and it does not wait until it is low above the ground to explode suddenly.

Up to now, all the antiparticles that humans have mastered are "produced" by the collision of guò particle accelerators, so the production capacity is very limited, and storage is also a big trouble.

"It's not cheap, I heard that a warhead is not much cheaper than our warship." Ye Fei said with emotion.

The warships of the republic are all built using robots, and it really doesn't cost much, and if there is no army of robots, antimatter warheads will be expensive. It is also impossible to compare with a battleship of fifteen kilometers long.

At this time, the Fourth Fleet, which received the order, had already flown into the Midway system. Searching for traces of enemy troops, the Third Fleet found that the frontal battle was over and immediately applied to the Kunlun to join the search for enemy forces.

Ye Fei hesitated for a moment and then agreed to the request of the Third Fleet, and only the twenty-eight warships of the Advancing Fleet remained to guard the reef passage. To prevent the Atlanteans from firing back - Ye Fei had already ordered the seriously wounded battleship to abandon the ship. The ship will be towed back to Midway later. After the war, he was sent back to the base star for repairs.

"Boss, I'm a little confused, is this thing made of super-heavy element crystals? Not to say. Is the most precise machining useless? Scissors asked.

Although the cost of making antimatter is high, it can be produced after all, and there is no difficulty in storing it under real room conditions, and the difficulty is how to make it into a weapon.

Ye Fei touched the stubble on his chin and said, "I really know this, it's actually not as tall as you think, these antimatter warheads are made with teleportation beams." ”

"What?" Scissors got the answer, but was even more confused.

"I don't know exactly how to do it, but I've heard that it's similar to a portal, but one is a door and the other is a beam." Ye Fei diligently explained, "By shooting several beams of transmitted light into the super-heavy element crystal from different directions, and controlling the energy level of each beam of transmitted light, you can hollow out the entire element crystal through the air without damaging the outer layer of the crystal, and then use the same method to load the antimatter into it, and the antimatter warhead will be ready." ”

The answer turned out to be this, everyone's eyes were as big as cowbells.

"As for the detonation, it's simple, just get some explosives or something to make a fuse, detonate the explosive when needed, blow up the crystal shell, and the explosion will stir up all the antimatter, fully mix it with the explosion products, and then it will be the annihilation of the positive and antimatter." Ye Fei continued to explain, "The gas produced by the explosion is also a positive substance. ”

"If you don't say it, we know it." Scissors muttered quietly.

The sound of everyone's discussion muttered the scissors, and Ye Fei didn't hear this.

Xia Zhuoyan suddenly said thoughtfully: "The teleportation beam is also made of super-heavy element crystals, is it because of this that the teleportation beam does not annihilate with antimatter?" ”

"That's not the case, there is only one crystal that does not annihilate with antimatter, and the teleportation crystal will be annihilated if it comes into direct contact with antimatter." Scissors scrambled to explain.

Xia Zhuoyan was puzzled: "Isn't that teleportation light a positive particle?" ”

The scissors really couldn't answer this question, and looked back at Jiang Xue for help, Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "Photons are neutral particles, regardless of positive and negative." ”

"But the Atlanteans use light technology, just what we know now, there are transmission light, decomposition light, traction light and lasers, I don't know how many, if the light is not annihilated with antimatter, wouldn't the Atlanteans be more suitable for using antimatter than us?"

Everyone was stunned by Xia Zhuoyan's whimsy, which really sounded reasonable.

"You reminded me!" The scissors suddenly slapped his forehead, "Boss, the antimatter is preserved by a magnetic field, you said that if you use two tractor lights to irradiate a piece of antimatter at the same time, can you make this piece of antimatter stay suspended in the air all the time and not come into contact with anything?" ”

"Perhaps...... OK! Ye Fei's eyes also lit up, "Ruan Peng, go back and use Xia Zhuoyan and scissors to report this idea to the headquarters. ”

Traction beams are much simpler than magnetic field binding, and if this approach is realized, it will usher in a revolution in the storage of antimatter.

"You don't need to take me, in the name of Xia Zhuoyan." Scissors said magnanimously.

Xia Zhuoyan hurriedly excused himself: "I still don't want it, and I didn't think of it, so it's better to ......use everyone's name."

"Okay, okay, don't push, whoever it should be is whoever." Ye Fei put an end to the controversy, "Our human technology is really not very good, even if it is not as good as the mechanical civilization, nor as good as the Saucer Clan and the Atlanteans, antimatter weapons are probably the ultimate weapons that human technology can get, but unfortunately there are only six left." If the method of towing light to store antimatter can work, we can send a teleporter to the silver heart, use the towing light to capture antiparticles and send them back to the base star, and then see who dares to fight us!
