Chapter 16: Antimatter Shield
"Don't come here!
”
I have to deal with a higher civilization and take care of you?
...... This is going to be sent.
This was Lu Yu's first feeling when he saw the group of super lifeforms turning, and at this time, he had already come to the mountainside, ready to break through the shield that blocked the first torrent of energy in front of him.
A noisy voice sounded behind him, and those young super beings quickly came to his side, and Lu Yu could no longer easily pop out the Silver Star to rudely crack the shield.
When I arrived at this position near the mountainside, I felt that the upper part of the mountain was obviously separated from the lower part of the mountain, more like some magnificent force pulling up the mountain peak, and the foot of the mountain was just to blend in with the embellishment of the folded space.
At this time, it was already night, and the holy mountain was dark, and even the various violent geological activities caused by the explosion seemed to be quiet at this moment. The holy mountain, which had no life, was left with the sound of dripping rain after the night came.
This group of super beings who were left behind by Lu Yu had no eyesight at all, and they desperately wanted to stay with him and live and die together.
Can this be called living and dying together?
This is clearly pulling the thighs!
Looking at these simple guys, Lu Yu had no choice but to change his mind to deal with the shield in front of him.
……….
In stark contrast to the environment of the Holy Mountain, Base Zero is brightly lit.
The research institutes throughout the base are as bright as daylight, and experts and professors with robots of different functions are busy in front of various instruments.
Among them, the application research institute with the most extensive area is in the middle of the night. There are still more than 400 scientists working in the institute. For many application scientists, tonight could be another sleepless night!
Because what appeared in front of them was the observation sample that they had been dreaming of for a long time!
Lu Yu got the database of the fourth-level civilization in the hands of the Dyson ball civilization a long time ago, but it is one thing for the scientific and technological humans who want to understand and master these data, and it is another thing to want to localize their blue stars.
This involves the difference between theoretical science and applied science!
Most of the theoretical foundations of modern human science have been established more than 100 years ago, but there are many technical bottlenecks that need to be broken through to truly apply them to practice.
Therefore, in the zero base, in addition to the theoretical research institute, the applied research institute has received the most support, and most of the technological changes that are taking place on the blue star also come from here.
These more than 400 scientists are already an important part of the research and development strength of the Applied Research Institute, and the entire huge Applied Research Institute, in addition to the activities of these scientists, relies more on various intelligent robots under the control of super quantum computers to carry out various experiments and collect various experimental data.
How to ensure that there will be no intellectual crisis?
After all, the painful lesson of the Dyson sphere civilization is just around the corner, and no one wants to become infrastructure materials by themselves, so Base Zero will regularly ask No. 7 to remotely clean up the central computer to a certain extent.
In an important laboratory, several scientists are working intensively on research and development. They input strings of data parameters in front of their respective computers, which are then faithfully executed by the computer system, and as the data is entered, the holographic projection in the middle of the laboratory is revealing a layer of blue light, like a hood.
The human energy shield has always stayed in the initial stage of the electromagnetic shield, although there are better things in the fourth-level civilization database, but the basic technology of the human race has not yet reached that level, even if the original design is placed in front of him, it cannot be created.
Well...... It's not hard to see why.
There is no need to cite any classical example that primitive people can't make mobile phones when they get the design drawings of mobile phones, look at the fact that the United States wanted to reproduce the moon landing a few years ago, even if it preserved the most complete information of the last century, didn't it take several rounds to finally launch the rocket.......
But now Bluestar's situation is completely different from the carefree situation of a few years ago, and the proximity of the unknown fleet has made everyone who knows the truth feel that a sword of Damocles is approaching their most vulnerable throat little by little.
Blue Star, the home planet of mankind, must not tolerate the approach of aliens who do not know good and evil, otherwise the story of the horned clan may be staged again.
Fortunately, it wasn't long ago that humans mastered gravity bombs, or at least spears.
And next, the shield needs to be mastered in order to give humans autonomy in the possible interstellar war!
And this shield is the energy shield!
In the stellar system, the electromagnetic shield is sufficient, but in an interstellar war that may have to face a stellar civilization, it is already several major versions behind.
After mastering the theory of great unification, the weapons developed on this basis are no longer the power that can be easily defended by the four major forces.
Therefore, in addition to the space shield, the choice left for humanity is the antimatter shield that is currently being developed and tested.
"What about the energy loading rate?" A scientist turned his attention away from the computer system in front of him and asked his assistant.
"Report to the team leader, the energy load rate is normal, and the preset warning value has not been exceeded." Another scientist replied.
"Very well, how is the antimatter generator working? How well does the instrument that blocks the reaction of tachyns with normal substances work? ”
"Report to the team leader, everything is normal."
"Whew." The scientist breathed a sigh of relief and gave a new order: "Observe for five minutes, and if there is no problem after five minutes, conduct a strength test." ”
"Yes, Team Leader."
Obviously, this is just a computer simulation.
The appearance of the gravity bomb made Base Zero understand that the weapons they had in their hands already had the power to easily destroy the Blue Star.
Even if it's a shield, it's an antimatter shield, and if something happens in the Blue Star experiment, it only takes a small fraction of the antimatter to destroy the Blue Star ecosystem.
Now, after the successful simulation of the Applied Research Institute, it will achieve a technological breakthrough and send it to the forward base of the asteroid belt for testing.
Time passed little by little, and these scientists were nervously staring at the display screen in front of them all the time, monitoring the changes in various data.
"All the data is normal, under the strong magnetic field, the negative matter can maintain a certain limit with the positive matter without reacting, and the energy loading rate is also within our acceptable range, which proves that our basic idea of the antimatter shield is correct. In this case, if there is an attack from an alien matter, it will be blocked by the negative matter shield first! ”
"That's right!"
"The working principle of the antimatter shield in front of Lu Yu is roughly like this!"
After five minutes had passed, the scientist made a brief summary.
That's right!
At this time, the antimatter shield of the Applied Research Institute has made progress, and it is not entirely dependent on cracking the data of the fourth-level civilization.
No matter how clear the drawings are, they are definitely not as meaningful as physical references!
But it's a pity that the Dyson sphere civilization itself has not equipped an antimatter shield, and the stellar civilization that Lu Yu encountered........ those spaceships are still so many hundred million points worse than the Silver Star.
"Plug in the virtual reality on the front line, ask him to do some experiments, let's collect data!"
"Okay, team leader."
After hearing the order, a scientist immediately put on a virtual reality helmet and quickly contacted Lu Yu on the mountainside through cross-space communication.
"The first thing to do is to test kinetic weapons."
And Lu Yu had already transferred control to No. 7, and under the attention of hundreds of experts at Base Zero, Nemo's right hand opened his palm, and a bullet that had undergone electromagnetic coil acceleration technology, with a flight speed of more than 100,000 kilometers per second, and the bullet head was still carrying a miniature nuclear bomb, quickly flew out of the palm, and a moment later, it hit the shield in front of him.
At the moment of the impact, a huge amount of test data was collected by the instruments generated by Nemo's body, and after automatic analysis by the automated system, the test report was immediately transmitted to Lu Yu and Base Zero, appearing on the computer equipment of various scientists.
Not only did the Shield research team wait with bated breath for the results, but many other project teams also needed data.
When technology has developed to the point of involving stellar civilizations, some high-energy physics experiments have the power to destroy planets!
So far, Base Zero has not dared to extract antimatter on the Blue Star, and even the Moon Base with preliminary conditions has not dared to carry out it, because once it gets out of control in the Earth-Moon system...... It's a price that humanity can't afford!
But the conditions for the forward base still need to be built, and it will take some time to reach the most cutting-edge conditions of the zero base!
Therefore, these data have a crucial reference role for the laggy applied science.
The super beings on the mountainside of the Holy Mountain saw Nemo's sudden attack and followed suit.
The firelight turned the dark night into a colorful light.
But for an attack that only has a nuclear level, there is really no threat to the shield generated by the Holy Mountain, but it allows humanity to get more data.
The shield research team quickly analyzed the steady stream of data coming back, and the scientist known as the team leader nodded slowly and said, "The positive matter is neutralized by the antimatter shield, and both are annihilated, and no energy is released. This energy is absorbed by the shield and will be used to maintain or strengthen the shield. This means that if you can't break the shield, then all attacks will give energy to the shield, and make it stronger! ”
"Well, yes, the test data is the same as the fourth-level civilization database."
"Next, we will conduct attack tests of various ray weapons......
………
"And then, the ...... of the test of the gravity bomb"
Under the command of this scientist, the strength test work is carried out in an orderly manner. As the experiment progressed, the various types of data were collected and summarized and presented on the computer system, which was simple and clear.
"Team leader, we succeeded! The antimatter shield is back in our hands!
”
As the last strength test was over, a scientist screamed excitedly as he looked at the blue shroud on the hologram that had not collapsed.
As the data is transmitted from the front, the Shield research team will reproduce it in computer simulations to adjust the antimatter shield they have developed.
In the simulation of the super quantum computer, this antimatter shield did not collapse, which means that it can persist within the parameters set by the shield research team!
This is humanity's breakthrough in the antimatter shield from 0 to 1!
Although there is still a long way to go before it can be put into practice, at least humanity must start by extracting antimatter........
However, at the application level, the possibility of technical realization has been realized, and it can only be steadily promoted for a period of time, and it may be implemented soon!
This already involves the application of antimatter!
In the fourth-level civilization, it has also reached its peak, and it is about to leapfrog to the fifth-level civilization to fully master this technology!
Just like the nuclear fusion technology that has plagued mankind for many years, even if it has been proven feasible in the laboratory, it will undoubtedly take time to turn antimatter into a new generation of energy engines before it can be fully realized!
However, human beings have already surpassed a lot of standards, and they have mastered the skin of antimatter directly in the late stage of the second-level civilization, which will inevitably become the key to a technological explosion in the future!
"Even if we were able to implement the antimatter shield in the database in the simulation, and then we were able to get valuable data from the physical experiments in front of us, we still have a long way to go to make it happen!"
"If it was in the peaceful years of the past, there would still be time for us to explore and study slowly, but now is not the leisurely years after all!"
"Go ahead...... Speaking to Professor Han, our group has indeed achieved a breakthrough in the antimatter shield, but the next step is to leave for the forward base to continue. ”
The team leader said in a rare relaxed tone: "My application form to go to the forward base has been filled, and it depends on your choice later, if you are willing to join me........."
"Yes!"
"We do!"
"We've wanted to see it in space for a long time!"
The group members, who had just achieved great things, barely hesitated, and all of them found the application form that had been filled out long ago from their personal laptops.
It has become a trend for top scientists in Base Zero to go to deep space, especially after the completion of the second spaceship, after the Blue Star and the forward base have realized the round-trip navigation, groups of scientists have embarked on a journey to the real front line of space.
Some of them are because they can no longer push forward their research projects on the Blue Star, and some are the scientific and technological directions that the front line desperately needs to preside over.
These scientists left Blue Star without regrets, and there were so many of them that Professor Han was struggling with how to keep people behind in order to maintain the terrifying research capabilities of Base Zero!
But it seems that with every technological breakthrough, a large number of scientists will continue to pursue their dreams at the forward base, and today it is the turn of the shield research group!
So much so that Professor Han, who is now in charge of Base Zero, had a nightmare in the middle of the night not to dream of an unknown fleet, but to dream of Professor Mao's sinister smile and emptying Base Zero, especially starting from the expert professor.......
Not to mention whether Professor Han will lose his hair when he sees the application.
When the antimatter shield can really be created, it means that the spear and shield of humanity against the unknown fleet are already in place!
At this time, there were still 13 years and nine months before the arrival of the unknown fleet in ...........
