Technology's opening live broadcast to build rockets

"Are the observation instruments ready?" Du Xingyu asked in the virtual world, in the conference hall of the Alliance Academy of Sciences.

"Everything is ready, and all observation data will be recorded." Butler, the main person in charge of this project, replied.

Of course, the particle collision test cannot draw conclusions in one go. This is just the first observation.

"Magnetic field traps may not necessarily work." Xu Lianqiu said, "Our understanding of antimatter is quite limited. If the expected magnetic field trap cannot capture them, the antimatter will be annihilated immediately and may destroy the ultra-vacuum magnetic pipeline!"

The magnetic field trap they used this time is called the Penning ion trap, which uses a uniform axial magnetic field and an uneven quadrupole electric field to bind ions and also preserve charged particles.

"Yeah." Du Xingyu nodded. He didn't plan to obtain too much antimatter for the first test, as long as he could capture some of it for further experiments.

In addition to antimatter, particle physics and quantum physicists will observe experimental data to study and confirm some physics conjectures.

"Prepare all sections!" The Ring Planet Particle Collider is divided into two parts, and each part is divided into several sections.

At both ends, there will be a particle emitting device, which will emit two particle beams, and then accelerate through each section of the ultra-vacuum magnetic tube, causing a collision infinitely close to the speed of light.

Du Xingyu gave an order, and all parts were ready. More than 300,000 nuclear fusion reactors will provide the energy needed to accelerate the particle beam.

"The ultra-vacuum accelerating magnetic pipeline is ready!"

"The power source is ready!"

"The particle emitter is ready!"

"The observation system is ready!"

"The antimatter magnetic field trap is ready!"

…

"Ten seconds countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven..." As Du Xingyu counted down, all the scientists became nervous.

The valuable data obtained from this experiment will promote the development of human science and technology as a whole, so there is no room for error!

"Start!" Du Xingyu's voice and his consciousness were directly transmitted to the particle emitter.

This time, the particle emitter fired a beam of protons to increase the chance of a collision. At the scale of orbiting a planet, it is difficult for humans to ensure that two particles in two segments can collide together, so the probability is increased by emitting proton beams.

The proton beams at both ends began to accelerate. Every time they passed through the ultra-vacuum magnetic pipe, their speed increased a little, and soon their speed reached the sub-light speed level.

Acceleration continues, and they follow the tube around the planet.

"Ninety-two percent the speed of light."

"Ninety-eight percent the speed of light."

"Ninety-nine percent the speed of light!"

Proton beams are infinitely approaching the speed of light, but cannot exceed the speed of light, and more and more energy is required to accelerate them.

The kinetic energy of more than 300,000 nuclear fusion engines is fully activated, allowing them to reach the highest acceleration that humans can currently achieve!

The masses of the protons are now close to "infinity", and finally, they collide together!

A pair of protons collided together, creating a temperature comparable to hundreds of billions of degrees Celsius in the core of a star in an instant!

The ultra-vacuum magnetic pipeline did not explode because these high temperatures and energy bursts were only generated instantaneously. Although the energy burst was high, the total energy burst was also small because the protons were too small.

"The information is recorded!" Butler said excitedly.

They couldn't observe what happened with the naked eye, but high-precision observation instruments observed a lot of information.

"At the moment of the collision, the proton, which is considered indivisible by traditional physics, was smashed into pieces! Brand-new particles appeared! We still don't know what particles they are, but there are several types of particles!" Particle physicist Men was excited. I can't wait to start researching it immediately.

They know that these tiny particles carry the future of physics!

"In addition to the generation of new particles, the instrument also detected that at the moment of collision, a tiny space-time distortion effect was produced." said an octopus man named "Arabei" who is from the Sea Tribe.

During the war ten thousand years ago, some scientists from the sea civilization chose to defect to humans, and Arabey is their descendant.

"The occurrence of a space-time distortion effect indicates that a supermassive effect occurred somewhere at an instant!"

Scientists have long noticed that the gravitational field generated by the rotation of massive celestial bodies or galaxies can distort space and time.

This is also the theoretical origin of curvature navigation.

"The collision of protons may have produced a micro black hole!" This is the conclusion drawn by Arabe. "This kind of micro black hole is too small, and the temperature instantly reaches tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of K. The radiation intensifies the temperature rise and becomes irreversible. The vicious cycle evaporated in an instant, so that we did not observe it.”

"You can pay attention to this part in subsequent collision experiments." Du Xingyu said that he would hand over these observations to these scientists. He is mainly responsible for studying antimatter.

"We obtained 3 grams of antiprotons from this collision! All were captured by the Penning ion trap, but they continue to disappear." Xu Lianqiu said in surprise.

Antiprotons and electrons combine to form antimatter.

Theoretically, 500 grams of antimatter would exceed the power of a super hydrogen bomb explosion!

"That's it!" Du Xingyu was already very satisfied when he could capture antiprotons in the first test.

Next, he will study the related properties of antimatter. As long as he understands its production principle, he can increase the production of antimatter, and even involve special equipment for manufacturing antimatter.

At the same time, Du Xingyu will also study magnetic bottles to better preserve antimatter to prevent antimatter and positive matter from being annihilated together!

…

"Analyzing antimatter..." On the technology simulator, Du Xingyu began to analyze antimatter. He simulated the antimatter on the simulator so that he could conduct various attempts and experiments without worrying about the consumption of antimatter.

"Consume one million energy points to build an antimatter container!" The preservation of antimatter is a headache. In a universe filled with positive matter, even if a magnetic device is constructed, it is difficult to ensure that there is no positive matter in the magnetic device.

"Consume 10 million energy points to simulate an antimatter manufacturing device..."

While Du Xingyu was studying the properties, manufacturing and storage methods of antimatter, humans were still stepping up their efforts to build the Nanmen II star system defense system.

The bad news has been constant in recent months, as enemy droplet craft have begun to appear in surrounding star systems after destroying the human Cetus exploration fleet.

"Within three months, we lost control of information from three surrounding star systems in a row. The satellites, space drones and unmanned warships deployed there were all destroyed!" Yang Shaolin, commander of Yufeng Space City, Alliance Command Headquarters said.

"I am certain that they already know that we are in the Alpha Centauri star system, and the water droplet spacecraft will soon come to the Alpha Centauri star system."

The water droplet aircraft can fly at a curvature, so within a few years, it will arrive at the Nanmen star system and attack the human base camp.

It is very dangerous for any civilization in the universe to expose its position!

This is how the Sea Clan civilization was destroyed. In front of advanced civilizations, they were wiped out without even knowing who their enemies were.

Human civilization was also forced to leave the solar system and come to the South Gate II star system because its position was exposed.

Now, that dangerous alien civilization has discovered the location of human civilization, and sending a probe or fleet is the natural next step.

Du Xingyu thought: "According to the current data, the water droplet aircraft has a maximum curvature of about three. That is to say, if it comes from the nearest Lutan 726-A star system to the Nanmen 2 star system, it will only take more than three years. time."

Double curvature refers to double the speed of light. The value of curvature is a multiple of the warped space-time. The distance traveled by several times of curvature is equivalent in space to the distance traveled by several times of the speed of light.

"So, we only have three years to prepare!" Lu Xing frowned, "Right now we haven't found a way to resist this kind of water droplet aircraft."

Du Xingyu also felt the urgency of the situation. If only the enemy's water droplet aircraft came to the Nanmen II star system in three years, he should have a way to deal with it. But if the enemy's warp warship arrived in three years, Du Xingyu would be It’s also hard to cope with.

"We have to buy time and try to move the battlefield outside the Nanmen 2 star system!" Du Xingyu said.

"Commander Du, tell me!" Mo Caiwei, the female commander among the five commanders and the commander of Thunder Space City, said.

"I predict that the enemy still doesn't know our true strength." Du Xingyu analyzed, "Since the opponent can create a water droplet aircraft made of strong force materials and can fly in a curvature, it means that they must have the technology to create a curvature warship!"

"It has been several years since they first discovered us near Sirius. During this time, we have not encountered any attacks."

"This explains two things."

Everyone listened attentively, and Du Xingyu continued: "First, the enemy's warp warship may be relatively far away from us. As we have detected, they only have detection devices and mining equipment in the surrounding star systems, and do not have a space fleet. In addition, I suspect that the curvature multiplier of their warp warships is not high enough to exceed our understanding.”

"Second, the enemy is also very wary of us. The water droplet aircraft is a good example. I don't think this water droplet aircraft is the enemy's main attack weapon!"

"Although it can deal with our stellar-class annihilation battleships, if we have stellar-class annihilation battleships, this water droplet aircraft will no longer pose a threat to us."

"From a performance perspective, the water droplet aircraft is more like a detector. Because the enemy does not understand the specific strength of our human civilization, it launches a large number of water droplet detectors in the surrounding star systems to detect our information."

"If they learn that our technology is weaker than theirs, the enemy will attack soon. On the contrary, if we show a strength that makes them afraid, the enemy will attack much later. In other words, they will take longer preparations for war."
