How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 461: Antimatter Propulsion (Part 2)

In Ming's design concept, the original spray of hydrogen gas in the container was eliminated, and the gap in the container was retained, but the opening was made smaller. Due to inertial pressure, antimatter will be forcibly squeezed out, but it will not be lost in a large amount at one time, and it is a slow release process.

But this is an intentional design layout!

According to Ming's idea, it is to use this slow release to gradually increase the speed of the organisms in the universe. Outside the gap, Ming added three nozzles to spray hydrogen gas clusters for the annihilation of positive and negative matter.

A very thoughtful design, but there is a problem.

【what is the problem? 】

The annihilation of matter and antimatter requires that matter and antimatter come into contact with each other. Such a design cannot achieve 100% full contact between hydrogen gas clusters and antihydrogen gas clusters. In order not to prevent antihydrogen gas clusters from being wasted, it is necessary to More hydrogen clusters are sprayed out, which invisibly increases the load.

Huo Gu explained the drawbacks of Ming’s design. In Ming’s design, there is no electric field in the area where antimatter and positive matter are in contact, so it is impossible to fully annihilate positive and negative matter as the collectors designed.

Isn't it enough to join the electric field?

Some collectors suggested this, but it was quickly refuted, and it was Ming who refuted it.

[This is not feasible, it requires a structure that tends to be closed, and a large part of the energy that will lead to the annihilation of matter and antimatter will be intercepted by the material structure that tends to be closed, and can only become the heat energy carried by matter and cannot be used as Thrust is used, and I didn't add electric field design because of this consideration. 】

[Huogu, do you have any good methods? 】

Huogu thought for a while, it added a horn-shaped design structure at the end, and then there are circles of magnetic rings surrounding this 'horn', and the released antihydrogen and hydrogen clusters will be squeezed under the action of the electric field Fully react together, and the outward-facing horn-shaped design can try not to block the release of gamma rays after the annihilation of positive and negative matter.

In this way, the basic framework of antimatter propulsion will be completed. Next, we need to improve the details and adjust the parameters of the current framework appropriately according to the situation.

Huogu announced the next stage, and Ming agreed, and proposed the priority issues that need to be resolved.

[Then solve the problem of gamma radiation first. 】

That's right, this problem is the key point that needs to be solved. Gamma rays have strong penetrability, and the energy level of the annihilation rays of positive and antimatter is very high. If no protection is done, the organism will be destroyed by its own antimatter when it is used. Push to kill.

The collectors echoed Ming's proposal, and everyone continued to carry out the radiation protection design in full swing.

To put it simply, it is to add heavy nuclear substances such as lead and bismuth, and then thicken and continuously superimpose-this is the only way to defend against insignificant radiation, at least for now.

That should be about the same.

Collectors observe the antimatter propulsion of this semi-finished product, and they continue to modify it on the original basis. The closed front end of the antimatter container is continuously connected head to tail to form an antimatter container column, and the antimatter at the end is exhausted. When , the adjacent antimatter containers connected with it will communicate with each other, and the antimatter will continue to flow to the tail from the connected channel, and join in the annihilation reaction of positive and negative matter.

Surrounding the horizontally lying antimatter container column is a layer upon layer of gamma-ray protective layers made of heavy nuclear matter, so that it can resist the annihilation of positive and antimatter and release high-energy gamma-ray radiation during acceleration. .

The built-in neural network cell body, the lifespan is shortened by Huogu and them, the division rate of the cells is increased, and the genes of these cells are simplified to avoid gene damage to the greatest extent.

It's just that this is not the end. Gamma rays are just one aspect, and there is another aspect that needs to be solved.

In this way, the problem of radiation penetration is solved, and the problem of heat dissipation needs to be solved.

Although gamma rays can be blocked by the protective layer of heavy nuclear matter, it also means that the energy is trapped in the protective layer, so it needs to be cooled to take away the heat trapped in the protective layer, otherwise it will be useless to start antimatter propulsion. If it takes too long, the entire propulsion part will be melted into a mass of high-temperature plasma by the accumulated high temperature.

In order to solve this problem, solid helium is also needed. It is not difficult to manufacture solid helium. Helium can be compressed into solid helium by using strong water pressure. The temperature of solid helium is minus 272.2 degrees Celsius, which is already quite close to absolute. Zero degrees minus 273.15 degrees Celsius.

The low temperature of solid helium cannot be tolerated by any cell, so the insulation layer must be specially designed, and then a channel must be designed. When the antimatter propulsion starts, this channel together with the solid helium will be opened, and the low-temperature helium will be gradually and slowly released. , the heat accumulated in the gamma-ray protective layer will be brought to the low-temperature helium due to the flow of body fluid, and then be cooled down, and then be introduced into the gamma-ray protective layer again after the cooling is completed.

After this whole cycle, the so-called cooling link is completed.

The antimatter propulsion can also declare that the design is completed, and then it is only through the finished product experiment to verify whether the effect of the antimatter propulsion designed by Hogu and the others is not ideal, and whether there are any factors that have not been considered.

Will, do you need to make samples now?

The collectors excitedly sought Hogu's opinion, and they were already eager to try.

Collectors have a certain degree of understanding of things like antimatter before they are mass-produced. This is all thanks to the science fiction of the Serene people, so collectors have such a cognition.

But it is also these science fictions that make the collectors subconsciously and subjectively think that 'antimatter' is something in science fiction, and in reality it is just a matter of imagination.

However, now that they have been created, not only have they been created, but they are still being put into preliminary application. This sense of accomplishment is incomparably wonderful.

Try to imagine, take the curvature engine as an example, you rely on the knowledge in reality, according to your own understanding and ideas of knowledge, from the theoretical basis to the material application, starting from the components to build and assemble the curvature engine step by step .

When the finished product appears in front of you, you will suddenly realize how exaggerated you have done, and the things in your fantasy are just dragged into reality by you, your life, your future, your civilization will all change.

Just rely on your own hands!

Hogu could feel the excitement of the collectors, but he still rejected the proposals of the collectors.

No, let's design other antimatter applications first and then make samples together. Don't worry.

[What's next? 】

Weapon upgrade.
