It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Different from the practice of natural people, under the subtle influence of education, public care people will not interfere too much with their biological children.

They often only go to the space nurturing center at critical time points, and offer their care and blessings to the new generation.

Therefore, these new generations are becoming more and more indifferent to traditional family affection.

Although the traditional concept of family affection is gradually lost, under the education of the social generation support system, their inner sense of identity with the human group, or their sense of honor with the People's Federation, has increased significantly.

This brand-new concept has naturally caused a certain degree of impact on human society.

But in any case, under the joint action of the Parliament, the Academy of Sciences, and Zero, the two groups still get along very harmoniously.

Simultaneously.

The Guangwei [-] planetary fortress transformation project has also successfully come to an end.

Although Guangwei can only be regarded as a satellite of Dawn Star.

But considering its huge size, Lu Yongchang still gave it the title of "Planet Fortress".

There is no other reason.

Handsome is a lifetime thing.

……

"professor."

The door of the office opened slowly, and Fang Xu's voice followed.

"The circumsatellite particle accelerator has been completed."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Yongchang, who was sitting at his desk and perfecting the theory of antimatter, made a sudden stop in his hands.

The next moment, a brand new holographic projection was automatically unfolded in front of him.

In the picture, it is Guangwei Yi who has transformed into a steel planet!

He slowly stood up from his seat, subconsciously staring at the intricate pipeline system on the surface of Guangwei, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"Finally finished……"

he muttered to himself.

Afterwards, he came back to his senses, with a bit of excitement in his serious expression.

"Preparing for the first test run!"

"Starting today, mankind will truly unveil the veil of antimatter!"

Chapter 505 Anti-electrons, anti-protons, and anti-hydrogen atoms

Dawn Star, City No. [-], the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences.

Inside the Renlian First Laboratory.

Similar to the past, most of the top executives in the Academy of Sciences gathered in the first laboratory.

In the huge holographic projection in front of the laboratory, various parameters of the circumsatellite particle accelerator are displayed.

It is different from other starships, or large-scale experimental devices.

[Guangwei Planetary Fortress] is unmanned.

Every part of it is remotely controlled by Zero through the ultra-distance communication device.

On the one hand, doing so can save a lot of space.

Whether it is a starship or other large-scale facilities, human survival materials often occupy a lot of space.

As a "fixed fort" that is close to the face of the dawn star, Lu Yongchang simply designed it as a "remote control" mode.

on the other hand.

The concentrated energy in the circumsatellite particle accelerator is too terrifying, and it is specially used to study antimatter.

If there is an operation error that causes the collected antimatter to come into contact with matter, and the two are annihilated, the energy released is no joke.

After all, once matter and antimatter come into contact annihilation converts all the mass of both into energy.

E=mc?

This energy will be far greater than nuclear fusion.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, as the carrier of the circumsatellite particle accelerator, no personnel will be arranged inside the [Light Satellite Planetary Fortress].

"Get ready to start the first experiment." Lu Yongchang's voice came from the central area of ​​the laboratory.

"Now prepare the anti-electron."

In the holographic projection, on Guangwei, which is thousands of miles away, each instrument starts to operate under the control of Zero.

Anti-electrons, as the basis of anti-matter, are actually very common matter in the universe.

A very small amount of anti-electrons will continuously fall on the surface of the planet in the form of cosmic rays and high-energy particles.

Even in the age of the earth, there is a small amount of antimatter around human beings.

For example, a banana releases an anti-electron every 75 minutes.

The potassium-40 contained in it will generate anti-electrons during the decay process.

Therefore, in a sense, bananas are the "anti-matter weapons" mastered by human beings.

Of course, the human body, which contains potassium-40, actually produces anti-electrons.

As for how the anti-electrons are prepared...

Not too complicated.

A large number of anti-electrons can be obtained by irradiating gold with the size of a push pin head and a thickness of millimeters with a short pulse laser.

The principle is also very simple.

Electrons are ionized and accelerated by short pulses of laser light through millimeter-thick metallic gold, where they interact with gold nuclei.

Electrons lose energy.

This energy is converted into matter and antimatter.

Thus, a large number of anti-electrons appeared.

In a sense, this is the simplest way to convert energy and matter into each other.

In the holographic image, in a high-purity vacuum environment, short-pulse laser light is continuously irradiated on the experimental sample.

"drop!"

"Anti-electron detected!"

Zero's electronically synthesized sound came from the speakers.

The next moment, the magnetic field generating device waiting at the side immediately started to work, trapping all the escaped anti-electrons in the illusory cage!

"Successful anti-electron capture."

"Magnetic Confinement Complete."

Lu Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief.

Prepare the anti-electron, which is the easiest step in the whole experiment.

"Next...start preparing antiprotons."

Unlike antielectrons, antiprotons are relatively cumbersome to manufacture.

In order to manufacture it, the recently completed circumsatellite large-scale particle accelerator has to be used.

……

Guang Weiyi.

The ultra-distance communication device has received an order from Dawn Star.

With a burst of humming, the fusion reactors started working first.

An incomparably huge amount of energy is poured into the particle accelerator located at the equator through thick and thick pipes.

Under Zero's control, the particle accelerator was activated.

A large number of protons are accelerated to nearly the speed of light by the energy provided by the magnetic field.

Under the control of a particle accelerator, these protons collided.

A large amount of kinetic energy carried by protons is transformed into matter.

Antiprotons appear.

……

"The circumsatellite particle accelerator has successfully operated!"

"Antiprotons detected!"

"Successfully isolated antiprotons."

The unchanging electronic synthesis sound sounded in the quiet laboratory, stirring up ripples in everyone's hearts!

Lu Yongchang's eyes flickered, and he gave the second command calmly.

"Start slowing down."

At present, high-energy antiprotons in particle accelerators are running at a speed close to the speed of light under the action of a magnetic field.

To catch it, you first have to slow it down.

This requires a specialized device - the antiproton decelerator.

With this deceleration device, the antiprotons travel at a much reduced speed and are trapped in a magnetic cage.

Lu Yongchang silently watched the data flashing by in the holographic projection.

Suddenly, his eyes moved, and the solemn expression on his face relaxed a little.

Fang Xu, who was standing beside him, saw the change of expression on Lu Yongchang's face, and subconsciously asked, "Successful?"

Before the voice fell, the electronic synthesizer sounded again.

"Successful deceleration."

"Executing capture procedure..."

"Capture successful!"

……

Today's particle accelerators are much more efficient than they were on Earth - they produce antiprotons much faster.

But even so.

It wasn't until a week later that the Academy of Sciences had enough antielectrons and antiprotons to conduct an experiment.

Their quality can only be described in micrograms.

But this is also much better than the earth era.

Lu Yongchang stared blankly at the two holographic images that were "empty and empty" in front of him.

Those are two magnetic bottles made of magnetic fields invisible to the naked eye.

Inside the seemingly empty magnetic bottle, a large number of anti-electrons and anti-protons are bound respectively.

They are the building blocks of antihydrogen atoms.

Like a hydrogen atom, an antihydrogen atom consists of an antielectron and an antiproton.

He collected himself, and said in a deep voice, "Ready to start the second acceleration."

The large particle accelerator is up and running again.

This time, in the particle accelerator, there will be the first "antihydrogen cloud" in human history!

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

The atmosphere in the laboratory became more and more dignified.

Different from the previous preparatory steps, the production of a large number of antihydrogen atoms involves a little risk.
