With the completion of the construction of the grand unified theoretical model, the cognitive crisis was completely lifted, and ontology science was born.
Ontology is a set of natural cosmic laws expressed mathematically, which shows the principle of "creation and prosperity" of the universe and the basic laws of nature in the virtual motion.
This also marks a new milestone in the science of earth civilization: the beginning of the theory of the unity of spirit and matter, and also the beginning of the infantile period of science.
The antimatter engine was conceived.
At this time, 412 years after the observation of the "string", Ruan Lin completed the construction of the Great Unification, and devoted himself to new research points: strong interaction generators, antimatter engines, and antimatter bombs.
The first research sites were completed in the second year, and they were finally able to be wallpapered inside the ship at an intensity of 10³⁹ times the gravitational pull at the femtometer scale.
At the same time, antimatter, which has never been thoroughly discovered by human beings in the past, is completely clear in front of Ruan Lin's eyes, and antimatter is easier to "create" than dark matter.
Antimatter can be found everywhere, and antimatter is often produced in daily life during the Earth era.
Bananas will produce antimatter, which has a natural radioactive element - potassium-40, which will spontaneously β+ decay to release a positron, reduce a proton, and become an argon-40 atom.
This process is said to release "a lot" of energy, but these elements are too scarce.
Even from a ridiculous point of view, to touch the door of antimatter, all it takes is a banana in the hands of humans.
Even if an antimatter engine is made, it is still not a work-free engine, it can be called a matter-antimatter engine.
Nguyen Lam decided to use hydrogen and its antimatter, anti-hydrogen, as fuel.
At the same time, since the products of annihilation move at nearly the speed of light, the engine ports of all ships must be elongated, which is also accompanied by the problem that all small ships must be scrapped and ships adapted to antimatter engines must be made.
Regarding the construction of the engine, Ruan Lin decided to use a particle beam core, which can be annihilated directly one-on-one, and then control the charged mesons with a magnetic field and eject them directly from the vent, since the speed of these mesons is close to the speed of light, the specific impulse of the engine is at least 310⁷ seconds, and it can also greatly reduce the load on the spacecraft.
Theoretically, the production of antimatter must rely on the energy of the collider, and it took 1,000 years for the Large Hadron Collider to collide with a microgram of antimatter.
Ruan Lin correspondingly built the "Forward and Antimatter Inverter", which is mounted at the front end of the particle beam core, which can convert the collected hydrogen into antihydrogen, but the conversion efficiency is only 50%, but it is enough to support the ship to fly long distances.
In terms of antimatter storage, Ruan Lin uses "magnetic tubes".
As soon as the antimatter encounters positive matter, it will immediately annihilate and explode, so it is not possible to use any container made of positive matter to store it, and it is necessary to use the ultra-cold vacuum Penning ion trap, a portable antimatter storage device, to store antimatter fuel by superimposed electromagnetic fields.
If there is money in the universe between civilizations, then antimatter must be hard currency, at least more than the monetary science of most commercial space games.
"Dr. Nguyen, Earth's engine has been replaced, and it is ready for testing."
Ruan Lin is full of confidence: "Start the speed test!"
Under Ruan Lin's control, a robot injected 100g of hydrogen into the positive and antimatter inverter.
This reaction produces 50 grams of antihydrogen, which is sent to the very end of the core of the particle beam, and then enclosed by "small magnetic tubes".
The robots were injected with another 50g of hydrogen, which was then also closed at the tail end.
Ruan Lin clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, "The positive and antimatter are beginning to annihilate!"
At this moment, an anti-hydrogen atom and a hydrogen atom meet together!
They are annihilated, and the masses of the positive and negative hydrogen atoms are all converted into energy, which is the most efficient fuel if calculated according to Einstein's mass-energy formula, which is the most efficient fuel for all physical reactions!
Ruan Lin made a simple calculation, and the energy generated by the meeting of the positive and negative hydrogen atoms has reached 910¹⁶ joules!
This is 10 billion times that of hydroxide reactions and more than 200 times that of thermonuclear reactions in the core of the sun!
The ship's speed gradually changed from stationary to the first speed threshold: 10% of the speed of light.
At this time, the fuel costs only 0.1g, that is, 0.05g of matter, 0.05g of antimatter.
After 1.2 hours of acceleration, the speed stagnated at an exciting value: 98% of the speed of light!
From rest to 98% of the speed of light, it costs only 4.5 grams of matter and 4.5 grams of antimatter, for a total of 9 grams of fuel!
This is exactly the value of Ruan Lin after the calculation of the rocket formula!
In conventional flight very close to the speed of light in a vacuum, the starlight photons, background radiation photons, and even the virtual particles randomly emerging in the vacuum in front of the ship are ultra-high-energy particles for the ship, and they and the cascading particles they produce will immediately blow the ship to ashes!
In other words, if a ship does not have a strong interaction force generator and flies at this speed, it will be greeted with death!
"Back then, 1% of the speed of light was a luxury for me! The development of civilization is really changing rapidly!"
"Isn't the Zero's subordinate civilization level 4? Why are they still flying at about 10% of the speed of light?"
The truth of everything is still in the distance.
Ruan Lin gave the final order: "IT, stop the construction of ships, the whole fleet must complete engine replacement and fuel storage within 20 years, this star system is simply not enough to see!"
He continued to pounce on the finishing touches on the antimatter bomb.
Ruan Lin's goal is HD70642 66 light-years away, which is home to a place known as the Star Flute Civilization.
As expected, in 20 years, a total of 12 million ships in the fleet completed engine replacement and antimatter fuel storage.
At the same time, antimatter bombs are also officially installed on 10% of ships, and its appearance also represents the retirement of previous laser and kinetic energy weapons.
Ruan Lin looked at the surrounding fleet through the porthole, and shouted excitedly, "IT, open the navigation, target: HD70642!"
12 million ships of all kinds began to accelerate, and the "long engine" in the tail began to spew out light blue tail flames.
Their speed is gradually increasing, and the pale blue of the tail flame is gradually changing to a dark blue.
After 1.2 hours, their speed is about to catch up with the speed of light propagation.
If you look at it with human eyes, these 12 million ships teleported as if in an instant, and appeared 290,000 kilometers away in just one second.
"Dr. Nguyen, this 66-light-year voyage is expected to take 67 years, and we don't need to make any refueling on the way, and each ship will only use 31.2kg of fuel."
