How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 432: Antimatter Engineering (Part 2)

This is a positron, and it is about to embark on a journey of past and future.

It was born from the process of merging four protons into a helium nucleus. Together with its other three brothers, it set off from the star, leaped 57.9 million kilometers, and entered an extremely huge structure.

Then they were blocked by a pile of chloride ions. These chloride ions greedily captured the metal ions and hydrogen ions traveling with it, brushing off a large number of travelers in one breath.

The surviving companions, except for a part of positrons, are electron neutrinos born with their own compatriots, and some photons of gamma ray frequency.

Then it was captured by the electric field, the electric field let go of the gamma photons and electron neutrinos, aiming at the positron’s constant reduction in speed, because of the strong electric field constraints, the positron could not deflect sideways, it could only be helplessly Cut off fifteen percent of the speed and move on.

Here, it is guided into the side corridor by the electric field, enters into a circulation, and is continuously moving in a circle under the coercion of the electric field.

Here, the positrons met new companions, they are called antiprotons. They started their journey from another place, and they had a good talk, so they planned to go together.

After circling for an unknown number of times, they came out of the tunnel, and were deflected by the electric field back into the vertical tunnel, heading for an unknown destination.

In the end, they stopped at a place surrounded by electric fields on six sides and stable all year round. It was a very suitable and beautiful place to live, so they planned to settle here permanently.

...

"Is this a giant structure that specializes in producing antimatter..."

"How about the output?"

At the beginning, I handed over the work on the planet to other members of the same race, and personally came to observe the stars. As the most qualified collector in this star system, it is also the most proficient individual in knowledge utilization. Therefore, after the antimatter giant structure is completed and operated , it has to come over and check it out for itself to make sure nothing is wrong.

In the original line of sight, this giant structure for producing antimatter is composed of two parts. If the direction of the stars is regarded as the ground, then they are connected to each other one by one, and they are moving slowly and synchronously. Rotating, with the axis of rotation pointing towards the star.

Hearing Chu Chu's inquiry, Ju Gou replied.

"According to the current production speed, about ten kilograms of antimatter can be collected every year."

"so little?"

Chu speechlessly looked at the shape of the giant structure, which is several times larger than the mothership creature, but with this size, only ten kilograms of antimatter can be produced every year.

In fact, it is quite a lot. You must know that the production of antimatter is counted by atoms, and the output of antimatter giant structures can already be regarded as explosions. The Serene people have worked hard for thousands of years, but they have only accumulated ten tons of antimatter. Juju's output can already rival them.

Don't forget that the Serenes are an entire civilization, and the megastructure is just a mass production unit that consumes more resources. Collectors can build more such antimatter megastructures to produce antimatter.

At the beginning, he attached his own space organism to the giant structure, and then separated from the space organism and landed on the giant structure as a collector.

The giant structure is very big, too big, the meat membrane that you stepped on at the beginning is like an endless wasteland, looking around, the end of your field of vision is the horizon built by the meat membrane.

Looking up again, it is a giant so tall that the apex cannot be seen clearly. This is a giant organism.

With such a huge scale, the strength of the megastructure has dropped by a notch. The larger the object, the better. Too large a scale will cause excessive internal stress of the object, which in turn will lead to a decrease in strength.

However, if the ability to withstand damage is not considered, the current size of the giant structure can only be regarded as too large, not to the point where it falls apart.

"I want to see the collection of antimatter."

After explaining the matter to the giant structure, Chu Chu began to climb on the giant structure, climbing to the top part, because the collected antimatter basically converged there.

When they reached the top, a container was carefully removed by Chu. The entire body of the container was silver-gray metal, cylindrical, with a metal-hydrogen battery inlaid on the top and bottom as an energy source, and the size was about the same as a gas tank. What an accident, the energy released is far beyond that of a gas tank.

There is a professional term for this container on the earth 'Penning ion trap', which is a device that can store charged particles, using a uniform axial magnetic field and a non-uniform quadrupole electric field to confine ions.

The collectors didn't know about the Penning ion trap. After all, they didn't have much contact with humans, and the Serenes wouldn't generously tell them about this technology. It was all because they used the knowledge they had learned. Since the things I think about belong to the same starry sky and the basic laws of the universe are the same, it is not surprising that different species think of the same things.

When the container is removed, the connecting part of the container is revealed. It is an opening, which is exactly the size of the container opening, but it is now in a closed state. In order to avoid initial injury, the giant structure temporarily stopped the production of antimatter. .

Chu cut off one of his fangs, suspended it directly above the opening of the giant structure, and signaled.

"You can start now."

After receiving the original information, the giant structure operated again to produce antihydrogen atoms, and many antihydrogen atoms sprayed out from the opening, hitting the severed fangs, and the glaring stream of rays filled the original The eyes, making its field of vision become white, and the retina was directly burned.

Because it is in space, and the amount of matter in the annihilation reaction is very small, there will be no violent explosions, and there will be only silent gamma ray bursts.

"First, are you okay?"

"no problem."

The giant structure stopped the production of antimatter, and also closed the opening. At the beginning, the cocoon was melted on the spot, and the damaged part was repaired.

After recovering, Chu reinstalled the antimatter-carrying Penning ion trap on the opening, more cautiously than before.

I have personally experienced the power of antimatter at the beginning, so I am more in awe of this kind of thing.

"The ethnic group must have such things, and there must be many, so that the ethnic group can be more prosperous. These resources will definitely be the pillar resources of the ethnic group in the future."

"But the output is too regrettable..."

Ten kilograms a year was too little, at first glance, and it looked beyond the stars, to the sea of ​​light and plasma.

"Since this is already the best design, build more megastructures to produce antimatter."

"Build a huge structure with more than 100,000 seats, and produce ten tons and eight tons of antimatter in one go. Anyway, the raw materials are not very scarce, but it is more troublesome to generate proton flow."
