How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 431: Antimatter Engineering (Part 1)

According to the construction plan, the transport organism crosses several astronomical units to reach the vicinity of the star, and turns the trajectory to enter the orbit at an circumscribed angle, and makes a circular motion with the star as the center.

"I have reached the star."

After using radio communication to send information to the group, the transportation of creatures fell into silence. This is the most energy-saving way. It needs to wait and wait for more materials to be delivered here. The materials it carries are just a huge individual. Give birth to a small part needed.

During this period, the energy consumption problem is solved by photosynthesis, and the heat accumulation caused by the closer distance is also solved by the carried substances, so it is not a big problem.

Over time, more transport organisms were conceived by them, and they arrived near the star with a large amount of material, and then entered the same silent state as the first transport organism. They are also waiting for the coming of the same family. .

When the material hoarding reaches the plan requirements, hundreds of transporting organisms are separated from the group and reunited to form a huge cocoon. While revolving around the star, the cocoon slowly begins to rotate, and the central axis of the rotation axis is vertical. In the direction of the star.

In this state of rotation, the cocoon gradually expands and absorbs the energy of the star to modify the matter. The principle is the same as that of a honeycomb. The molecular compound is processed or disassembled by gaining and losing electrons.

Gradually, the appearance of the cocoon changed from a sarcoma that kept expanding and shrinking to a gyro-like appearance. The bottom of the two cones merged to form its shape.

The cone angle on the side facing the star is obtuse, so the bottom surface is large, but the height is not high. The opposite cone angle is very small, but because the bottom is in line with each other, the height of the cone is very high.

At this time, the cocoon no longer showed a state of continuous expansion and contraction, and it was stretched straight by the combination of two cones.

After another period of time, the first single-molecule tentacles pierced the cocoon and stuffed the cocoon's substance into the mouthparts on its side to complete the recovery of the substance.

What appears in the vacuum of the universe is a very peculiar biological structure, which still maintains its rotation and never stops. The central axis is a bone, which runs straight through the organism and is perpendicular to the surface of the star.

It's not so much the bones of this organism, it's better to say that the bones are covered with some meat. Most of the meat is concentrated on the end close to the star. The hollow bones point to the deep space of the universe and there is not much meat on it.

Subsequently, the flesh at the bottom stretches out the skeletal scaffold parallel to the surface of the star, and is covered with a dark brown fleshy membrane that absorbs light energy and converts it into electrical energy. The principle is the same as that of a rhizome. The organism can use this to obtain great electrical energy.

The hollow bones slowly grow several layers of ultra-fiber membranes. The spacing between the membranes is not large, but they are all filled with chlorine. Because the ultra-fiber membrane itself does not contain hydrogen or metal elements, it is composed of carbon and oxygen elements. , So it will not form hydrochloric acid or be corroded by chlorine.

This is a sample organism, and the collectors have no experience, so it is necessary to carry out tentative antimatter manufacturing. If antimatter can be successfully manufactured, they will begin to breed such organisms in large quantities for the population and expand the scale of production.

To make antimatter, you first need to know what antimatter is.

Antimatter is the anti-state of normal matter. Except for this, it has the same properties as positive matter. The electric quantity is equal but the electric property is opposite.

Antimatter also undergoes chemical reactions with each other. In addition, nuclear fusion reactions can also occur between antimatter and antimatter. The energy released is not much different from the nuclear fusion of positive matter, except that the charge radiation released is a positive charge.

After knowing this, you can start producing antimatter, and the collectors are preparing to produce antihydrogen atoms.

In fact, the principle is very simple. Try to create a positive charge and an antiproton, and then combine the two particles to form an antihydrogen atom.

It's very simple, but the problem is, how to create a positive charge? How should antiprotons be made? How can they combine with each other obediently? Even if they are combined to form an anti-hydrogen atom, how do you know if the antimatter has been made successfully? How to induce anti-hydrogen atoms to be stored?

These are all problems.

Then now, the collectors are resolved.

First of all, it is not too difficult to obtain positrons. In nuclear fusion, four protons aggregate into a helium nucleus, which will release two electron neutrinos and two positrons at the same time. Therefore, it is natural to produce antimatter near stars. Material resource advantage.

The problem is just how to filter out the positrons from the various radiation released by the stars for particle processing, and the chlorine in the hollow bones will absorb the metal ion flow and the hydrogen ion flow released from the star, and the positron flow will be affected. Filter it out.

Positrons are also electrons, but they carry a positive charge, so as long as they are reversed, they can also be affected by a strong electric field~lightnovelpub.net~ Collectors take advantage of this, and the electric field accelerates backward to reduce the speed of movement of the positron.

Of course, despite this, the moving speed of the positron is still very fast, probably cutting the positron by nearly 15% of the speed of light, and then encounters the same decelerating antiproton under the action of the electric field.

Then there is the antiproton, which is much more difficult than the positron. To make the antiproton appear, you need a large number of protons to bombard the metal target. The energy level required is about 2000 times that of the positron, which means that a particle accelerator is needed.

For this, collectors must design another set of organisms.

After confirming that the positrons can be filtered out intact and not much different from what was expected, more than a dozen transporting organisms left the colony and combined particle accelerators that could produce antiprotons.

This creature is also a hollow bone that runs through the whole, but unlike the creature that collects positrons, it has two ring-mounted bone extensions, one is an acceleration ring, which is used to accelerate the flow of protons to bombard metal targets to produce antiprotons, and the other is The binding ring is used to combine antiprotons and positrons to become antihydrogen atoms.

It also has a dark-brown fleshy membrane that produces electricity from light, and it has a larger and wider expansion than the previous organisms that collect positrons. If the fleshy membrane of the organism that collects positrons is one, then this is an organism that produces antiprotons. The flesh film is a hundred.

In order to produce antimatter, a strong magnetic field is absolutely indispensable in general, and to form a strong magnetic field stably, a huge amount of electrical energy is needed as a basis.

This is why the collectors and Huogu think that antimatter production organisms should be built near the stars, because this place is really suitable.

We need energy and energy, and we need positrons and positrons. They all exist naturally. Is there anything better than this?
