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

Compared with the age of the earth, the speed of human beings to produce antimatter is indeed countless times faster-one microgram of antihydrogen atoms can be obtained in just one week.

But this kind of manufacturing speed comparable to that of a snail crawling is obviously not enough for humans who have already become a third-level civilization.

Therefore, a new antimatter manufacturing solution is imminent!

The research goals of everyone in the Academy of Sciences have also turned to this place.

But this technology, which is located on the dividing line between the third-level civilization and the fourth-level civilization, is obviously not so easy to overcome.

……

After several setbacks.

Lu Yongchang sat in his office solemnly, pursing his lips and looking at the holographic image in front of him.

In the holographic image, there are dense experimental data.

"Professor, the experiment failed."

Zero's electronically synthesized voice came from the side speaker.

Lu Yongchang didn't have much expression on his face, he just nodded slightly.

He has been tired of hearing this sentence for a while.

The Academy of Sciences proposed many schemes for the manufacture of antihydrogen atoms, but without exception, none of them met Lu Yongchang's expectations.

"Professor, Academician Tao Yuda is visiting."

The electronic synthesizer sounded again.

"Let him in."

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath, cheered up and said.

The next moment, the door of the office opened, and Tao Yuda, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, stood excitedly at the door.

Looking at Tao Yuda's expression, Lu Yongchang's originally stable mood fluctuated slightly.

Could it be...he has a new manufacturing idea?

Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang looked at Tao Yuda with a hint of expectation.

"Professor, I have a solution!"

Sure enough, Tao Yuda excitedly stepped into the door of the office and shouted loudly.

Lu Yongchang's heart beat violently several times.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, sat up straight on the chair, and pointed to the seat in front of the desk.

"Sit first."

"Speak slowly."

Tao Yuda nodded hastily, pulled out the chair in a hurry, and sat opposite Lu Yongchang.

Then, he raised his wrist, turned on the watch, and summoned a small holographic projection.

Under Tao Yuda's operation, the content of the small holographic projection was quickly synchronized in front of Lu Yongchang.

"On the Feasibility Report of the Antimatter Collection Device"

"collect?"

Lu Yongchang's expression froze, and he asked subconsciously.

How does it feel... different from what he expected?

Tao Yuda cleared his throat: "Professor, although the universe is made of matter, in a vacuum environment, there are still many antiprotons and antielectrons, mixed in the cosmic rays, wandering in the interstellar space."

"Since the efficiency of artificially manufacturing antimatter is too low, we can completely change our thinking."

"Build a large number of antimatter collection devices and collect antimatter in the universe."

Looking at the plan in the holographic projection, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

How should he evaluate this report...

Possibility, but not much.

Although there are many antiprotons and antielectrons in the universe, they are too thin.

If the collection is only carried out near Dawn Star, the results that take several years are not even as good as the output of the Huanxing Large Particle Accelerator running at full power for a month.

but!

After all, it is a no-cost transaction.

As long as the time is long enough and there are enough collection devices, human beings will be able to collect enough antimatter in the universe sooner or later.

"This...isn't this picking up trash?"

Lu Yongchang asked subconsciously: "Who picks up the trash in a decent civilization?"

The corner of Tao Yuda's mouth twitched: "..."

"Well, how can this be called picking up trash?"

"Third-level civilization, how can you say it's picking up trash..."

Tao Yuda's voice became softer and softer, and he was still muttering obscure words such as antimatter collection array and circumstellar detection array.

"Okay, okay." Lu Yongchang smiled wryly and shook his head, "Let's not talk about this plan yet."

"What humans need now is a solution that can produce antimatter stably and efficiently."

"We don't have that much time to collect antimatter floating in space."

Having said that, he still put this option in the backup plan.

It can also act as a detector around the star system, and it can also collect antimatter in interstellar space...

Best of all, it consumes very little energy.

Three birds with one stone.

Earn resources, not shabby.

……

After seeing off Tao Yuda, Lu Yongchang took another deep breath.

"Zero, close the door, and no one is allowed to enter unless there is an accident."

After learning the lesson from the last time, Lu Yongchang added a precondition to the order.

After all, he can't always expect zero underlying logic code, can he?

The voice fell, and the office door slowly closed.

After Lu Yongchang confirmed it, he leaned back on the comfortable chair and slowly closed his eyes.

Now, he can only ask for help from the technology tree space.

With a thought, consciousness came to that familiar space.

Fluorescent green background, and a technology tree glowing with bright white light.

Unlike the last time, after completing the construction of various antimatter theories, the technology tree that was originally barren in the first half also appeared full at this time.

Lu Yongchang raised his head and looked up.

White cursors came into view one after another, but none of them caught his attention.

After a few seconds.

His gaze rested on the top of the third-level technology tree.

It was a dimmed cursor at 50% brightness.

【Anti-material mass production plan】

Looking at the clear characters on the cursor, the "gaze" of Lu Yongchang's conscious body became more serious.

Without any hesitation, he directly focused on the dim cursor.

A sense of dizziness arises spontaneously.

What followed was a sense of clarity like detachment.

Various theories related to antimatter were integrated in Lu Yongchang's mind, and some original difficulties were quickly resolved.

As time passed, a plan slowly emerged in his mind.

Chapter 511 "Phoenix One"

"call……"

In the office, Lu Yongchang slowly opened his closed eyes, exhaled forcefully, and at the same time reached for a pack of high-concentration nutrient solution handed over by the robot.

When sucking the nutrient solution, Lu Yongchang showed a bit of confusion on his face.

It always feels like something is weird.

He shook his head vigorously, and the strange feeling slowly dissipated.

Because he was eager to record the plan in his mind, he didn't take this strange feeling to heart. He regarded it as some subtle sequelae after the "overclocking" of the brain.

"Zero, hold a meeting of the Academy of Sciences."

He said in a deep voice while writing and drawing on the holographic interface in front of him.

"On the Feasibility of Mass Production of Low-Temperature Antihydrogen Atoms by Collisions between Excited Electronium and Antiprotons"

On the holographic screen, a line of text quickly appeared.

……

The earth calendar is 2455 years.

In the first laboratory of the Dawn Star Alliance Academy of Sciences, the lights are bright.

Not only the first laboratory, but also the six surface cities of Dawn Star, the space nurturing center, the gold mining station of the ice giant star...

It is also a brightly lit scene!

Ice giant star synchronous orbit, star gold mining station.

Hope, who finished his day's work, was not tired at all.

He sat in his seat, staring intently at the holographic image in front of him.

Same as Hope.

At this moment, the All People's Federation, as long as they are awakened personnel, will focus on the holographic image.

At this moment, the holographic images of the All People's Federation are all playing the same screen!

on the screen.

Every scientific researcher is concentrating on the holographic image in front of him, checking every possible problem.

"Everyone."

Lu Yongchang's calm and powerful voice came from the speaker.

"After four years of hard work, Renlian's first real antimatter manufacturing device has been successfully launched."

"425 years ago, mankind's first nuclear fusion reactor came out, and mankind thus got rid of the energy problem and opened the door to the interstellar era."

"And today!"

"The mass production of antimatter means that human beings are about to get rid of the title of low-level interstellar civilization!"

"After more than four hundred years of hard work, human civilization has finally gained a firm foothold in the universe!"

"I hope, I look forward to, and I believe that one day, human civilization will send out its own voice to the universe!"

"May the glory of mankind last forever!"

After the voice fell, there was a burst of warm applause in the laboratory!

Hope, who was far away from the ice giant, couldn't help but have slightly reddened eyes when he heard the last sentence.

It's 400!

When he was a child 400 years ago, Lu Yongchang's words aroused his desire to survive.
