Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

After coming out of the glorious office.

Su Wen came to the building where the Physics R&D Department is located.

The size of the Reach Star is much larger than the Blue Star.

...At the very least, it is much larger than the Blue Star before it began to transform into the Gaia planet.

As the empire's home planet, it has no shortage of land.

Therefore it serves as one of the main administrative agencies.

The Scientific Research Department received a huge park.

All the buildings inside are prepared for them.

Compared to the Omega Research Station on the far side of the moon,

As the headquarters of the scientific research department, this area covers more comprehensive areas.

All the industrial facilities on the entire mother planet are working hard 24/7 to provide blood for this bottomless pit of money and resources.

Just to let Su Wen get the research and development speed he wants.

Say something.

This is fortunate to have arranged relations with China in advance.

Got rid of those extremely suspicious bosses.

Obtained China, the most powerful ally on the entire Blue Star.

otherwise...

If there were no massive input of industrial resources from China, it would be impossible.

Relying solely on Reach’s current industrial capabilities,

In addition to the massive infrastructure construction and navy building,

How can we have extra supplies and throw them into the bottomless pit of technological research and development...

..

Benefit from China’s monthly free assistance of a large amount of basic industrial materials.

At present, Su Wen can maintain rapid development in multiple fields at the same time.

He walked into the recently completed research building.

Come to Helena's office.

Like all other mental humanoid offices, there are a large number of pipelines and terminals scattered throughout.

It is convenient for them to access the entire country's cloud computing network anytime and anywhere, and remotely control all intelligent machines.

However, compared to the Governor's Office, the chief scientist's laboratory is much larger.

A lot of space was freed up to house some experimental trial equipment.

Spherical drones were rolling around on the ground, and one even rolled onto Su Wen's shoe.

Su Wen bent down, picked up the gadget, and put it aside.

At this time, Helena, who was in front of the terminal, came back to her senses.

Suspended the link and came forward.

Compared with the brilliance of mature and elegant ladylike temperament.

The new chief physicist of the empire appears to be a little girly and naive.

Before Su Wen arrived, she was probably busy with tasks in the physics research and development department.

She was so engrossed that she didn't notice his arrival.

"Commander, you are here. Would you like... a cup of black tea first and take a rest?"

Helena shyly smoothed her hair on her temples and tucked it behind her ears.

Then let Su Wen into the hall.

"Thank you for your kindness. I had afternoon tea before coming here."

Su Wen waved his hand.

He is not a wealthy landowner who has to be taken care of wherever he goes.

Speaking of which, I was almost full from drinking water at Guanghui's place just now, and now I really don't have the appetite for another drink.

"Let's talk about business."

When talking about this topic, Helena's expression gradually became serious.

Down to business... naturally it is the major task at hand of the Physics Department:

T4 level energy technology.

That is [antimatter energy].

As the leader of the three industrial foundations, it can even be said to be the leader of the entire science and engineering field.

Energy technology, no matter what era or civilization, is a top priority.

It is the most important type of technology, higher than materials, let alone other fields.

therefore...

As a technology tree formulated according to the theoretical logic of unknown civilization, energy technology has been prepared with a high price tag worthy of its status:

Eight hundred thousand.

A total of 800,000 technology points.

Seeing this made Su Wen almost depressed.

Eight hundred thousand...

Not to mention whether he can afford it or not.

Even if it actually takes some time to save, he can indeed save it.

But he was really unwilling to pay for such a large amount of money!

T4 energy costs . What about other technology lines?

Spending all your wealth on just one technology line, can you still make it through life?

This was thanks to him getting T4 materials and T4 star gates from fellow Fei people.

Su Wen purchased the remaining materials and transportation at Yu San's house for free in advance.

Otherwise, just to feed the appetites of these three big money-burners,

He had to spend all the money he had on his wife.

Fortunately, there is a scientific research department now, which can carry out formalized research and development.

According to his estimate, after entrusting the scientific research department to carry out development,

The cost of T4 antimatter energy technology can be reduced to less than points.

Although it will take some time to solve the problem and consume a lot of industrial materials and research materials.

But in Su Wen's view, this deal is still a good deal.

As the leader of the Physics Department, Helena is now responsible for this task.

All the problems and pain points on the development path of antimatter energy have been analyzed by her.

"Commander. At present, the biggest problem lies in industrial capabilities."

She tapped her fingers lightly and summoned a holographic projection in the air.

What is shown in the holographic image is a huge 'multi-layered spherical cage'.

A bit like what a Dyson ball looks like when it's not covered.

"This is a very dangerous substance. No matter which particle's antimatter form, once it comes into contact with its positive matter form, matter annihilation will occur, converting matter into pure energy at a very high conversion rate, resulting in the release of This large amount of pure energy is emitted, destroying everything around it.

This is a real weapon of mass destruction in interstellar space and must be treated with caution.

Therefore... Commander, we need to build an [anti-particle cage] first.

This is a functional megastructure that combines the search, capture, and storage of antimatter at the same time.

It consists of three major parts: [Gravity Well Stable Point], [Anti-Particle Cloud Chamber], and [Vacuum Gravity Confinement Chamber];

It cannot be built near any planet, and a separate orbit around the sun must be arranged for it in the star system where it is located.

Only through this giant device can we safely utilize this dangerous and efficient special substance. "Helena explained to Su Wen softly.

With the repeated sliding and touching of her delicate jade fingers, the entire structure of the anti-particle cage in the holographic image was continuously dismantled and separated in front of Su Wen's eyes, revealing the detailed structure of every part.

The latter listened without saying a word, with thoughtful eyes.

This is indeed the main difficulty with antimatter technology.

It is different from nuclear fusion.

The raw materials for nuclear fusion cannot be said to be everywhere in life.

But compared to antimatter particles, tritium, deuterium, and even helium-3 are really insignificant.

Therefore, when it comes to nuclear fusion technology, Blue Star Civilization is actually following a reverse path of being 'uncontrollable first' and then 'controlled'.

Thermonuclear weapons, also known as hydrogen bombs, already existed during the Cold War.

But after the catastrophe, controllable nuclear fusion energy has not yet been developed.

This is the so-called reverse research and development,

After getting the results first, we began to deduce the causes.

But antimatter is different.

Antimatter particles do not exist for a long time in a natural environment.

Even the antimatter forms of certain particles may not be generated in natural environments.

Only in certain special celestial environments can their clues be captured.

and...

The power of this kind of thing is well known.

It is relatively easy to discover it, even Blue Star Civilization can handle it.

In large particle colliders in China, the United States, and the European Union, antiparticles are basically produced every time they are turned on for experiments.

Not to mention these man-made objects, anti-particles are being produced all the time in the big fireball overhead.

...Positron.

Electrons are negatively charged, and the antimatter particles of electrons are positively charged, so they are naturally called positrons.

The sun is a big furnace with nuclear fusion going on all the time.

From hydrogen nuclear fusion to helium nuclear fusion, this big furnace is always repeating the fusion process from light atoms to heavy atoms. The eternal chain reaction creates the solar system step by step from light to heavy and from scratch. More than 90% of the substances in it.

Of course, there will not only be positive matter among them.

During the process of nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium nuclei, a positron is released.

This should be regarded as the most common and largest source of antimatter under natural conditions in a star system.
