Dark matter cannot be transported or stored, so the only place to make antimatter is outside the galaxy.

A month after the work began, Xiao Yu finally collected enough one kilogram of antimatter. Because any positive matter that comes into contact with them will react with them causing the antimatter to disappear, they must be placed in special containers. The container must have a vacuum of high purity inside, and it must also have the ability to generate a strong magnetic field that confines the antimatter to a place where it does not come into contact with any positive matter.

A kilogram of antimatter stored inside this county-level transport ship is tantamount to a time bomb. If there is a problem with the storage equipment and it leaks, Xiao Yu's county-level spaceship will be completely blown up from the inside.

Like positive matter, antimatter can also be combined from elementary particles to form matter. What Xiao Yu made this time was one kilogram of anti-hydrogen. After it was carefully transported to the base, under the watchful eyes of thousands of scientists and Xiao Yu's countless observation instruments, the first antimatter engine launch experiment was about to begin.

This engine was installed by Xiao Yu in a huge factory, and hundreds of extremely elaborate robotic arms took on the role of operator. Under Xiao Yu's command, they carefully installed the container containing antimatter to the predetermined location, and the antimatter engine started.

Within it, a series of controlled reactions take place.

First, the antimatter container was opened, but due to the magnetic field, the antimatter remained there and did not drift around.

And then we moved on to the next step. This mass of anti-hydrogen is separated by a magnetic field, and a small amount of anti-hydrogen enters the reaction chamber. In the reaction chamber, there is a piece of positive substance that has been prepared for a long time, waiting to be reflected with it.

Convergence occurs as scheduled. The moment they met. The mass emitted an extremely bright and piercing light. In fact, it emits tremendous energy not only in the visible wavelengths, but also in the X-ray and gamma-ray bands.

When antimatter and positive matter meet, they will both be annihilated, and all their masses will be released in the form of high-energy photons.

High-energy photons shoot out in all directions with the reaction point as the core. However, on the walls of the reaction chamber. Xiao Yu had already installed energy harvesting equipment. They will go through a series of processes to collect the energy carried by these high-energy photons and transport them to various instruments in the system for their use.

After the annihilation reaction of positive and antimatter takes place. Xiao Yu detected a strong energy and sent it out of the antimatter engine.

Xiao Yu gently relaxed his spirit. This means: The first antimatter engine, Shiyan, was a complete success.

In the midst of this Shiyan. Xiao Yu collected a lot of information. This information will be shared entirely with those scientists. Moreover, Xiao Yu assigned specific tasks to them, and scientists of each race have their own clear tasks. Scientists of different races can also communicate with each other through the communication instruments specially developed for them by Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu is trying to improve their efficiency by all means.

That's in this case. More than 7,000 scientists, including Lucca's scientists, began intense research work together, trying to digest the Shiyan data and looking for ways to increase the load capacity. Research on reducing the loss rate and improving safety.

These are research work within galaxies. Those large numbers of gathering, forging, casting, processing and other bases, Xiao Yu did not let them idle. During this time, Xiao Yu created a large number of observation satellites, space batteries and other instruments, and the observation satellites were launched by Xiao Yu, and they will continue to move away from this binary star system along their own orbits. Their orientation is 360 degrees around the clock. Xiao Yu hopes that these satellites can provide him with some early warning information, and if the Molian civilization or other civilizations appear, he can react in advance.

Needless to say, space batteries are the main force in positional warfare and defensive warfare. In fact, in the process of looting the Azure Market, if Xiao Yu hadn't destroyed all the space batteries and ground defense equipment of the Molian Civilization through the war of data Shijie at the beginning, Xiao Yu would not have even had the slightest hope of winning.

In addition, Xiao Yu is also building a large number of spaceships. It's just that in this construction, Xiao Yu only built township-level and village-level spaceships, and these spaceships did not use precious materials such as alien beast flesh or Zerg limbs at all. Xiao Yu plans that if there is a civilization to invade, in the war, he can use these small spaceships as consumables and try his best to consume the opponent's strength.

The combat effectiveness of these small spaceships is also improving with the improvement of Xiao Yu's technology. As a result, if there happens to be a major scientific and technological breakthrough, the combat effectiveness of the spacecraft made today may be higher than that of the spacecraft built yesterday. It's just that Xiao Yu doesn't plan to recycle and transform those spaceships to improve their combat power. Anyway, it's just consumables, and there is time for renovation, so it's better to build a new one.

The Ringstellar Large Particle Collider has been relocated from the spacecraft by Xiao Yu and assembled in orbit around the stars. Under Xiao Yu's manipulation, it is carrying out intense work all the time, and a huge amount of data is collected by Xiao Yu every day, and then, while carrying out his own research, Xiao Yu also shares these data with more than 7,000 scientists.

By dissecting the provincial spaceship of the Molian Civilization and analyzing those mechanical storage devices, Xiao Yu gained a lot of knowledge. The current research process is just to follow the clear path and master this knowledge, and there is no need to worry about bottlenecks and misdirections, so Xiao Yu's scientific and technological progress can be so fast.

Three months after the successful trial of the first antimatter annihilation engine, Xiao Yu built the first spacecraft powered by the antimatter engine and successfully conducted a test flight.

In addition to the antimatter engine, there is also the research of antimatter weapons. Xiao Yu has successfully trial-produced an antimatter bomb, but because Jishu is still developing rapidly, he has not made any modifications for the nearly 100,000 large spaceships. Xiao Yu intends to do it in one step after Jishu stabilizes. Transform them into powerful ships with Tier 5 civilization combat power.

"Although my technology tree is not complete, and I have not even mastered many technologies at the level of third-level civilization, but in terms of military industry, there are four maintenance covers, and after digesting all these technologies, my combat power should not be lower than that of the fifth-level civilization."

Xiao Yu thought so.

"In the galaxy where the sweepers and guardians have all disappeared, a fifth-level civilization should have the ability to protect itself. At that point, I should probably look for a galaxy that can really settle down and start running my own shili without having to run around. ”

Stability and safety have always been something that cannot be hoped for for Xiao Yu. At this moment, Xiao Yu finally saw the dawn of realizing his wish.

At this moment, ten years have passed since Xiao Yu came to this binary star system. During this time, Xiao Yu has not given up on the exploration of the strange star ten light-years away from him. By launching satellites and observing them from multiple angles, Xiao Yu finally determined that the pitch-black hemisphere of this star was obscured by something, and it still existed.

The principle is simple, if it is occluded, then, when viewed from different angles, it should have a different shape. Observations from probe satellites confirm this suspicion. Among the satellites launched by Xiao Yu, the farther they fly in one direction, the more places they glow in the stellar photos they take, and the farther they fly in the other direction, the more gloomy places they take in the photos.

This phenomenon verifies Xiao Yu's speculation.

Well, a new problem arises. What could be obscuring a star? Moreover, the occlusion is so regular, as if it has been specially measured?

Xiao Yu faintly felt that this place was not a place to stay for a long time. There might be some danger in that weird star. However, the fanatical nature of a scientist decided that Xiao Yu was really reluctant to leave.

"If I'm gone, I don't know when I'll be able to come back here next time, and the mechanism that caused this strange phenomenon might have some benefit in advancing my technology." Xiao Yu thought secretly.

Moreover, now is the era of great technological development, leaving the star system and entering the curvature voyage means that one's scientific and technological progress will inevitably be interrupted.

"Let's stay here for a while." Xiao Yu thought a little ambivalently, "I'll make plans when I finish digesting these knowledge reserves." ”

Go, reluctantly, in the past, and don't dare, under this contradictory situation, Xiao Yu can only carry out an all-round exploration of this strange star here in this binary star system, at a distance of ten light years.

Xiao Yu first measured its approximate mass by the bending of the light rays passing through it, and then determined its density. From these two data, its volume was deduced, and these data were compared with the data observed in the field, and the results of the observation once again verified Xiao Yu's inference.

The observations show that if you think of it as a sphere, everything agrees, and if it is only a hemisphere, then it is half the volume of the projection.

"In this way, it is indeed obscured by something......" Xiao Yu concluded. (To be continued......)
