Chapter seven hundred and eighty second magnetic confinement method
Very wonderful phenomenon.
A dark blue light ball floats in the transparent vacuum tube about the size of a wrist. If you look closer, you can find that between the two ends of the light ball and the poles inside the vacuum tube, there is also a thin electron beam as thin as a hairspring.
At this moment, this vacuum tube was placed on Lin Ling's experimental table.
This is the first time Jiang Chen has seen what antimatter looks like.
To be honest, when he saw the real thing, it was a little different from what he expected. He originally thought that the antimatter should be deep black, but he didn't expect it to be bright and dazzling.
"Is this antimatter?" Jiang Chen pointed to the vacuum tube on the table and asked Lin Ling beside him.
Lin Ling glanced at him with an idiot, coughed mysteriously, and started to show off.
"By using electron beams with small regular angular momentum, plasma with dense cores formed in an absolute vacuum metal tube."
"Plasma?" Jiang Chen suddenly felt a little overwhelmed when he heard a lot of professional terms.
However, Lin Ling seemed to appreciate his expression very much, and the pride on her cute little mouth was even more obvious.
"Yes, you can understand this luminous light ball as a shell wrapped in antimatter, and the extremely black particles swinging irregularly in the center of this vacuum ball shell are what is commonly referred to as antimatter. We usually call this method, magnetic constraint method."
After saying that, Lin Ling added with a wicked smile.
"Although it's only 1, it can erase this area from the map in an instant."
Jiang Chen's brow jumped suddenly, but he did not show the fearful expression that Lin Ling expected.
"Will there be no safety issues just here?"
"Don't worry about safety issues. This plasma is very stable, and it can even be said to be perfect. It makes people confused about how those guys in the void do it."
"Can't it be possible with the technology of the 22nd century?" Jiang Chen looked at Lin Ling with some surprise.
Lin Ling shook her head.
"Not to mention forming such a strange plasma ball shell, it is not easy for the 22nd century to draw this vacuum tube into an absolute vacuum. You must know that even the universe is not an absolute vacuum. In addition to the matter we can see, there are also dark matter we cannot see. It is definitely not easy to remove these things without leaving them."
After pausing for a moment, Lin Ling murmured at the air traffic control.
"Although atoms are electrically neutral, they also have a weak magnetic distance. Standing on the back of matter, the same is true for antimatter. By using a special magnetic field, antimatter can be constrained in a certain space. A surprising design Although human observations of antimatter can be traced back to the 20th century, no one can store antimatter in such a plasma until two centuries later."
"How about using antimatter as weapons?" Jiang Chen immediately asked his most concerned question.
"The power is amazing, but I advise you not to use weapons from the interstellar era on Earth." Lin Ling glanced at Jiang Chen, "Theoretically, there is no thing that can defend against antimatter groups. Any positive matter that is exposed to antimatter will be quickly annihilated, and 100 of mass will be converted into energy and released in the form of high-energy gamma rays. By the way, hydrogen bombs only have a mass-energy conversion of 0.7. If they destroy the earth, only 1 of antimatter needs to fall on the ground, which is also the reason why antimatter is listed as a prohibited research project."
After listening to Lin Ling's explanation, Jiang Chen knew why the void survivors compared this thing to the last hope.
Such terrifying lethality, if one can possess antimatter weapons, the earth's civilization may not be able to fight against a harmonious civilization 20.5 light-years away!
As if he could see the moving look on Jiang Chen's face, Lin Ling whispered to remind him.
"But don't be too excited. Those people in the void just gave us a sample. Whether it is manufacturing technology or related technology, our foundation is zero."
"Start from scratch? It's okay, I believe in your ability!" Jiang Chen laughed and patted Lin Ling on the shoulder, "The antimatter research will be left to you!"
"Don't leave everything to me! I'm still studying the topic you gave me to take people through time! And even if I have zero foundation for antimatter, is it okay? I suggest you find some physicists who tend to do this. Moreover, it is best to study the extraction of antimatter in outer space. Is it very dangerous to do this experiment on the surface?" Lin Ling protested.
Lin Ling had no more solutions to antimatter, but she still designed a research idea for Jiang Chen.
Divide the topic into three parts.
The first part is to study how to make an absolute vacuum container for storage of plasma that encapsulates antimatter.
The second part is to study how to make such plasma that can magnetically constrain antimatter to wrap antimatter.
The third part is how to produce antiparticles more efficiently with a high-energy particle collider and collect them with a magnetic field before they decay.
In fact, how to produce antimatter is the easiest step. After all, in 2014, the European Nuclear Research Organization successfully created an antimatter atomic beam. It is composed of 80 antimatter atoms and is 2.7 meters long antimatter beam, but no one can preserve it and manufacture it on a large scale.
These high-energy ion accelerators usually produce only a few nanograms of antihydrogen atoms per year, while one nanogram is one billionth of a gram.
After leaving Lin Ling's laboratory, Jiang Chen went to the community center of the Fish Bone Base and handed over the documents of establishing a new research project team to Wang Qing.
"The lack of talents find ways to find out the shelter and mark all the physics laboratories near Suzhou and Hangzhou Province, and the Expeditionary Force will be responsible for the recycling work."
"Antima?" Wang Qing was a little confused with the document in her hand, but since it was the marshal's request, she still nodded seriously, "Okay, I will continue to order. By the way, news came from Hongcheng some time ago."
"Hongcheng? What news?"
"Compared with the recent period, the number of merchants in the Northern Union District of Hezhongcheng and Qingshan Town has increased a lot. At the same time, news came from Wu Qian, the president of the Steel Gear Chamber of Commerce. These merchants in the Northern Union District of Hongcheng seem to be buying steel, rare earths and electronic components in a large scale, while their interest in other goods is lacking."
"Are you buying steel?" Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, looked at Wang Qing and continued, "Increasing the exchange ratio between credit points and sub-crystals, let us control several of its heterogeneous ranches to increase the output of sub-crystals."
As the sub-crystals depreciate, the cost of purchasing steel by merchants from the Northern Union District who use sub-crystals as currency will undoubtedly increase. Although this will have an impact on the local economy to a certain extent, it can effectively curb the outflow of strategic resources caused by the market economy.
"In addition, to increase orders placed on the military factories in the Sixth Block, we must double the production capacity of the military factories by the end of this year!"
After pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen continued.
