Chapter 152: Antimatter

"I'll go to Senior Sister Chang's. ”

Ling Xingyi finished the work at hand, picked up the white coat on the back of the chair and draped it over his shoulders and walked into the elevator, pressed the button on the lowest floor, the elevator ran silently, and he saw through the transparent glass curtain wall of the elevator that was extremely empty underground space.

This is an underground research facility in the Bright Field, which is top-secret to the outside world.

In fact, the current level of science and technology is much higher than that from the outside, and it has completely reached the level of modern society. The reason why it looks like it is still the same from the outside, as long as it is to prevent those Kingdom Supervision Departments who come here from time to time to inspect, after all, it is one thing to be less, and they are the best at pretending to be poor.

The underground space of Guangming Ye is staggering, and there are not only science and technology research departments, weapons and equipment departments, and technology departments here, but even hangars have been chosen to be built here.

Such a huge project would definitely not be possible with the thousands of vassals that Guang Guangye had existed with, but with the help of basic technology and the disciples of the Immortal Family, these seemingly impossible tasks were all completed in just one year.

Ling Xingyi looked at his reflection on the glass curtain wall, he smiled lightly, now he still looked like a great monk who had half stepped into the Yuan Infant Realm, but he was similar to a doctor who was dedicated to studying science.

When the elevator reached the lowest floor, Ling Xingyi took out a magnetic card for identity verification, and with the sound of the sensor "dripping", the elevator door opened, and what caught his eyes was a wall structure with a white body shaped like a honeycomb, various precision instruments were displayed, and the cold beam of light sprinkled overhead gave people a particularly quiet feeling.

This is the most secret core area of the Guangming Field, except for the place where Chang Hao retreats.

Department of Science and Technology Research.

There are very few people who have a magnetic card for the Ministry of Science and Technology Research, and Ling Xingyi is one of them.

The way to the depths of the Science and Technology Research Department requires multiple identity verifications to ensure that there will be absolutely no irrelevant people entering here, and it took Ling Xingyi almost ten minutes just a few hundred meters away.

At the end of the Science and Technology Research Department is not a room, but an experimental field, which is frighteningly large, the size of hundreds of football fields.

It is said that when this experimental field was built, it was estimated that it would not be able to be dug up in more than ten years by manpower alone, so it was simply not let people dig it, but directly invited the Yuehong Sword Spirit to take action and use the supreme swordsmanship to cut it out.

Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Ling Xingyi believed it anyway, because even if he came here again after a few months, the faint but cold sword qi could still be felt.

Huge mechanical devices in the shape of snakes are entrenched in the experimental field, and some of them even pass through the mountain and then connect with each other, forming a huge ring shape, which is incredibly long for tens of kilometers.

It was the second time that Ling Xingyi had seen this thing, but the shock in his heart was still not lost at the first sight, it was hard for him to imagine that there would be such a huge device in the world, and it was also difficult to imagine that there could be such a huge device in the world that could be so extravagant, and even once made Guang Guangye bankrupt.

This is a large proton collider, and it is the absolute effort of Senior Sister Chang Ge.

As the name suggests, the proton collider is to have protons collide with each other to produce high energy. The proton collider can accelerate two beams of protons to an ultra-high-energy state of 14 trillion electron volts and make them collide, which is roughly comparable to the state of cosmic particles at the beginning of the chaos of the universe.

Through proton collision research, human beings can use the products of proton collision to study and explore the nature and truth of high-energy physics, with the aim of finding possible additional dimensions and so-called antimatter, a new energy source that "does not exist".

For Chang Ge, the person in charge of this project, the ordinary extra dimension can only be regarded as a convenient thing, and what she really cares about is to use the proton collider to find clues to the possible synthesis of antimatter. As long as the antimatter is found, one of the three sharp swords that has been hanging over the heads of the people of Guangye can be solved.

Energy issues.

The final battlefield of the Bright Fields is not the small continent of Middle-earth, their battlefield is a vast sea of stars. If they want to carry out efficient interstellar travel, they will bear the brunt of the energy problem, and they urgently need a new energy source that is strong enough.

And antimatter can meet the needs of the bright field.

Antimatter has incredible energy, just a small amount of antimatter, and the energy generated by its annihilation and matter annihilation is almost equivalent to the full force of Old Man Chang's peak. And the full force of Old Man Chang's peak is comparable to the power of a 10-million-ton nuclear bomb, and its high energy efficiency can be seen from this.

Ling Xingyi walked across the covered bridge above the experimental field and found Chang Ge's figure at the operation terminal of the experimental field.

Chang Ge looked a little tired, and this exhaustion was not physical, but mental. A Jindan Realm monk like her would not feel tired even if she didn't sleep for a month, but when it came to the spiritual aspect, it was another matter.

Ling Xingyi admired this young girl from the bottom of his heart, not only him, but all the disciples of the Xinggong Chenyi Society admired Chang Ge beyond measure.

In terms of age, Chang Ge is younger than all of them; in terms of strength, their current realm is slightly better than Chang Ge; but in terms of technology and brains, even if they take a plane or a rocket, they can't keep up with this young girl's pace.

It can be said that if there is no Chang Ge, Guangming Ye is probably just a second-rate force that can barely get into the eye now, without those unbelievable modern technology, relying on Senior Brother Chang alone, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists in the Middle-earth continent surrounded by strong enemies.

Chang Ge almost single-handedly raised the strength of Guangye to an extremely high level, once Guangye exposed all its background and revealed its sharp fangs, the entire Middle-earth Continent would tremble.

This is also why Ling Xingyi and the others will be older than Chang Ge next year, but they are all willing to call Senior Sister, the reason is here, the one who achieves it comes first.

The proton collider with a circumference of more than a few tens of kilometers emitted a humming sound, a touch of blue light overflowed like a substance in the circular acceleration tunnel of the snake, and the thunderous current whistle was only a few seconds from the beginning to the end, and the faint blue lights above the head of the science and technology research department were all extinguished, and it took a while to resume work.

The central area of the proton collider shimmered with a bright red glow, so vivid that its blooming light seemed to plunge the entire experimental field into a sea of blood, and ordinary people would even lose consciousness after looking at it for a long time.

Ling Xingyi knew what the source of that bright red light was, it was the Taiyuan Stone brought back from the Iron Hills, and this was a collision experiment against the Taiyuan Stone structure.

Don't look at it in just a few seconds, the electric energy worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins has already waved goodbye to them, if it weren't for Guangmingye's opening of trade channels with the major families of the kingdom to make great efforts to make money, Guangye's family would not be able to withstand this kind of profligacy.

If you want to see the results of this thing, you have to throw money into it first.

"Senior Sister Chang, how is the progress of the research on proton collision?" Ling Xing dissent this time the experiment was over, and then he waved his hand and stepped forward.

"You're here. Chang Ge looked up at Ling Xingyi, and a smile finally appeared on his expressionless face for a long time, "How is my brother's retreat?"

"I just went to Senior Brother Chang's retreat room yesterday to see it, and the coercion coming from it was incredible, it felt like there was an old monster in the God Transformation Realm cultivating inside. ”

Ling Xing said with a strange heart: "Senior Sister Chang, don't you know that the crystal nucleus left behind by Agomoto after his death looks like an eyeball, which is particularly infiltrating, Senior Brother Chang actually took that thing to retreat and cultivate, doesn't Senior Brother feel scared?"

"He just wanted to use Agomoto's crystal nucleus to cultivate his divine sense and speed up the ascension of the realm, it's okay. Chang Ge pointed to the record sheet beside him: "The results of these experiments have been quite successful, you can take a look for yourself." ”

"I'll see. Ling Xingyi picked up the record sheet and flipped through it, and exclaimed every few pages: "Senior Sister Chang!

"That's right, the Taiyuan stone is antimatter as we thought before. Chang Ge stretched out his slender finger and pointed to a few key words on the record sheet: "But to explain it in rigorous terms, Taiyuan stone is a visual and embodied form of antimatter, which is different from the antimatter in ordinary cosmic space. ”

Ling Xingyi nodded solemnly, he could understand what Chang Ge meant.

Antimatter is a mirror image of positive matter, just like a person looking in a mirror, people are real, and there is mass to touch, which is easy to understand.

But antimatter is different, although it is also real and has mass, but it cannot be touched by ordinary means. Moreover, the so-called metaphor of "looking in the mirror" is just convenient for ordinary people to understand, in fact, there is no such mirror in the world, which leads to the inability of human beings to observe antimatter with the naked eye or even ordinary scientific and technological means.

Antimatter is everywhere and cannot coexist with positive matter, and when it encounters each other, an annihilation effect will occur, and a huge amount of energy will be released.

Ling Xingyi once asked Chang Ge his question: since antimatter is ubiquitous, and reacting with positive matter that is also ubiquitous will release huge amounts of energy, why is the world they live in so peaceful?

Chang Ge answered Ling Xingyi's doubts.

It turns out that all the antimatter currently produced by the human world is only one billionth of a gram, and with this mass of antimatter as an energy source, even a glass of water cannot be boiled.

Moreover, the antimatter particles in trace form exist for a very short time, from birth to annihilation with positive matter, the process is less than a second.

So the question is, how can the Taiyuan stone show such a strange form? The mass is so large that it is even the same as the stone, this root is not unreasonable?

"I have my own conjectures about the Taiyuan stone. Chang Ge looked intently at the blood-red light that had not yet been extinguished and said: "I think the birth of Taiyuan Stone was completely accidental, an accident. ”

"What do you say?" Ling Xingyi asked, putting down the record sheet.

"I think one day thousands of years ago, a certain mass of antimatter came to this planet with a meteorite. Originally, these antimatter would have annihilated with the positive matter on this planet. But by accident, these antimatter encountered an entirely new substance capable of neutralizing them, which did not exist anywhere else in space, causing the antimatter to be accidentally preserved. ”

Chang Ge took out a thumb-sized Yitaiyuan stone from the pocket of his white coat, shook it gently, and could see that there was a flowing substance like blood in the Yitaiyuan stone. ”

Chang Ge said: "In fact, the use of Taiyuan stone in the iron hills has always been at a very primitive level, they can't touch the antimatter at the core of the Taiyuan stone, they can only polish the diamond-like protective layer wrapped in the antimatter, and then inlay the Taiyuan stone on the weapon." ”

With the Taiyuan stone flashing with an almost demonic red light, Chang Ge said: "I gave a name to this brand new substance wrapped in antimatter, called soul steel, and it took me a few days to finally figure out the molecular composition sequence of soul steel. ”

Ling Xingyi was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Now he is no longer the successor of the Xinggongchen Instrument Society, who knows nothing about the knowledge of modern society, on the contrary, he has been trained by Chang Ge and has completely eaten a series of knowledge based on modern theories, such as physics, chemistry and astronomy.

If Ling Xingyi can go to the modern society where Chang Ge lives, it will be easy to get a doctorate in more than a dozen majors, and his erudition is not much better than that of many famous physicists in history.

If he was a person who didn't know anything, he might only think that Senior Sister Chang was really powerful, and she could study so many things alone. But it was precisely because he knew too much, and had enough respect and fear for advanced physics and unknown knowledge, that he was extremely shocked by Chang Ge's amazing talent.

He had a feeling that Chang Ge and he were not on the same level at all.

The title of genius has long been unworthy of her, and the light of humanity is.

"I have roughly calculated that if all the Taiyuan stone contained in the Abyss Canyon is mined, the energy released by the annihilation reaction of the antimatter in it should be enough for us to carry out an interstellar voyage within 10 light years. Chang Ge wrote down a long list of mathematical formulas like a book of heaven on the whiteboard beside him, and Ling Xingyi racked his brains to understand that it was the calculation formula for energy conversion when antimatter underwent annihilation reaction.

"Does that mean that we can extract or even synthesize antimatter?" Ling Xingyi, who understood the meaning behind the calculation formula, was full of joy.

"The current research on antimatter can only and must remain in the experimental stage, because we cannot currently control the energy release from the annihilation reaction, and if we make a mistake, the entire continent of Middle-earth will be blown up into the sky. Chang Ge had a rare seriousness on his face: "That's why I urge my brother to quickly improve his cultivation, only when his cultivation reaches a certain level, can he skip the constraints of science and technology and realize the restraint of antimatter." ”

"Isn't that what we can only watch and not touch at this stage? I know that Senior Brother Chang's cultivation speed is a thousand miles a day, but we can't just sit and wait. ”

"Who said we can just sit and wait?" Chang Ge, who was still serious just now, changed to cunning again: "Antimatter can't move yet, but soul steel can!"
