Shuguangxing, City 1, Headquarters of the Academy of Sciences.

In the first laboratory of Renmin Lian.

Similar to the past, most of the senior management of the Academy of Sciences gathered in the First Laboratory.

The huge holographic projection in front of the laboratory shows the various parameters of the satellite particle acceleration device.

Unlike other starships or large experimental devices.

[Planet Fortress of Guangwei] is unmanned.

Every part of it is remotely controlled by zero through an over-distance communication device.

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

Whether it is a starship or other large facilities, human survival supplies often occupy a large amount of space.

As a "fixed turret" with the face of He Shuguang Star, Lu Yongchang simply designed it directly into a "remote control" mode.

on the other hand.

The energy gathered in the satellite particle acceleration device is too terrifying, and it is specially used to study antimatter.

If an operation error occurs, the collected antimatter comes into contact with the matter and the two are annihilated. The energy released is not a joke.

After all, once positive and antimatter starts to contact and annihilate, all the mass of both will be converted into energy.

e=mc2

This energy will be much greater than nuclear fusion.

Therefore, for safety reasons, as the carrier of the satellite particle acceleration device, the [Photosatellite Fortress] will not arrange personnel within the [Photosatellite Fortress].

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

“Now start preparing anti-electrons.”

In the holographic projection, on the Light Guard, thousands of miles away, instruments began to operate under the control of zero.

Anti-electron, as the basis of antimatter, is actually very common matter in the universe.

A very small number of anti-electrons will continuously land on the surface of the planet through cosmic rays and high-energy particles.

Even in the Earth Age, there were a small amount of antimatter around humans.

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

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

So, in a sense, bananas are the "antimatter weapon" mastered by humans.

Of course, human bodies containing potassium-40 will actually produce anti-electrons.

As for the preparation method of anti-electrons...

It's not complicated either.

Using a short pulse laser to irradiate gold with a size and thickness of millimeters, you can obtain a large amount of anti-electrons.

The principle is also very simple.

With the help of a short-pulse laser, electrons are ionized and accelerated to pass through the millimeter-thick metal gold, in which the electrons interact with the gold nucleus.

Electrons lose energy.

These energy is converted into matter and antimatter.

As a result, a large number of anti-electronics appeared.

In a sense, this is the simplest way for energy and matter to be transformed.

In the holographic picture, in a high-purity vacuum environment, a short-pulse laser continues to irradiate on the experimental samples.

"drop!"

"Anti-electron detected!"

Zero's electronic synthesizing sound comes from the speaker.

The next moment, the magnetic field generation device waiting beside him immediately started working, capturing all the evacuated anti-electrons in an illusory cage!

“Anti-electronic capture succeeds.”

“The magnetic field constraint is completed.”

Lu Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief.

Preparing anti-electrons is the easiest step in the entire experiment.

"Next...start the preparation of antiprotons."

Unlike anti-electrons, the manufacturing of anti-protons is relatively cumbersome.

To make it, you have to use the recently completed large-scale particle acceleration device for satellites.

...

Guangwei Yi.

The over-distance communication device received a command from Dawn Star.

As a buzzing sound came out, fusion reactors began to work first.

Incomparable enormous energy is infused into the particle acceleration device located at the equator through thick pipes.

Under zero control, the particle acceleration device is activated.

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

Under the control of the particle acceleration device, these protons collided.

The large amount of kinetic energy carried by protons is converted into matter.

Antiprotons appeared.

...

"The satellite particle acceleration device operates successfully!"

"Antiprotons were detected!"

“Antiprotons have been successfully separated.”

The unchanging electronic synthesizer sounded in the quiet laboratory, causing layers of ripples in everyone's hearts!

Lu Yongchang's eyes flashed, and he calmly issued the second order.

“Start slow down.”

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

To capture it, first slow it down.

This requires a special device - an antiproton reducer.

With this reduction device, the operating speed of antiprotons will be greatly reduced and will be bound by a magnetic field cage.

Lu Yongchang silently looked at the data passing by in the holographic projection.

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

Fang Xu, who was standing beside him, saw the change in expression on Lu Yongchang's face, and subconsciously asked, "Is it successful?"

Before the speech could be finished, the electronic synthesizer sounded again.

“Successfully slowed down.”

"Catching program is being executed..."

“Capture successfully!”

...

Compared with the Earth age, the current particle acceleration device is more efficient - its speed of generating antiprotons has been greatly improved.

But even so.

It was not until a week later that the Academy of Sciences obtained enough anti-electrons and anti-protons to conduct an experiment.

Their mass can even be described in micrograms.

But this is much better than the Earth age.

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

These are two magnetic bottles composed of magnetic fields that are invisible to the naked eye.

The inside of the magnetic bottle, which seems to be empty, is constrained by a large number of antielectrons and antiprotons respectively.

They are raw materials for manufacturing antihydrogen atoms.

Like a hydrogen atom, an anti-hydrogen atom consists of an anti-electron and an anti-proton.

He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to start the second acceleration."
To be continued...
