Interstellar Industrial Age

v4 Chapter 63: , Controlled antimatter technology (1st

The energy shortage, Liu Peiqiang is not alarmist, but something that actually happened in Xinghan civilization.

Some people may find it inconceivable that this Xinghan civilization has already mastered the powerful civilization of space science and technology, and even there will be a shortage of energy, is it a bit nonsense?

However, it is not, it is indeed a problem of energy shortage.

It is precisely because the Xinghan civilization has been highly developed that the problem of energy shortage will arise.

Every adult can be assigned to a small spaceship for free, and this spaceship alone is definitely a super-large energy consumer.

It is necessary to know how huge the population base of the Xinghan Civilization is. The huge population calculated by Jingzhao, coupled with the development of technology, has an extremely large number of spaceships, space warships, and countless space factories.

All of these are big energy users.

Not to mention, a factory in space alone consumes more energy than the entire earth in the age of the earth.

If it is not because it has already mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, and the nuclear fusion reactor is also getting smaller and smaller, most of the large energy consumers use the controllable nuclear fusion reactor as the energy source, it is estimated that Xinghan has already been energy-strained. Too.

The thing of energy has become an important factor in human development since the Industrial Revolution.

From the earliest coal used, to later oil and electricity, to nuclear and solar energy, with the development of science and technology, the energy required is also exploding at a geometric multiple.

The more advanced the technology, the more energy is required.

Despite mastering the technology of small-scale controlled nuclear fusion, the energy of Xinghan Civilization has also become increasingly tense in recent years. The price of fuel related to controlled nuclear fusion has also risen and risen, and the energy shortage problem can be known from this aspect .

The population base of Xinghan Civilization is too large. The key is that there are too many places where energy is needed. This spaceship has already spread to individuals. How huge is the energy required.

Moreover, the population of Xinghan is still continuously exploding, which means that more energy will be needed in the future. Traditional nuclear energy has become increasingly difficult to meet the huge energy demand of Xinghan civilization.

In the future, if space technology develops further and space transmission technology becomes more and more mature, it can eventually be installed on the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft can also be transmitted to the adjacent river system through space, which requires even greater energy.

Therefore, a very urgent task is placed in front of Xinghan scientists, how to solve the energy needs of Xinghan civilization.

Nuclear energy alone cannot satisfy a huge appetite.

Scientists have focused their attention on the controllable antimatter technology. The energy produced when the antimatter and positive matter are annihilated is hundreds of millions of times the energy when nuclear fusion occurs, and the energy released by one gram of antimatter is almost equivalent to three Hiroshimas. The energy released by the nuclear bomb and the anti-matter needed to destroy the earth only need a few tens of grams.

From here you can know the power of antimatter energy.

Long ago, the Xinghan civilization had mastered the anti-matter bomb, but this anti-matter bomb and the controllable anti-matter reactor were completely different.

One is an elementary school subject and a higher mathematics subject, and the two are not of equal magnitude at all.

Scientists have been studying this thing all the time, just because antimatter is extremely unstable. Once it encounters any positive matter, it will immediately annihilate, and when annihilation will produce extremely powerful and terrible energy, so the antimatter can be controlled The reactor becomes a problem.

But with the development of space technology, especially the development of space folding technology and space blocking technology, scientists have finally found a solution to this problem.

The method is very simple, using space folding and space blockade to form a unique space dedicated to antimatter annihilation, so as to successfully achieve the control problem and safety problem of antimatter reaction.

"It ’s a good solution. The gate of time and space is too large, it takes too much manpower, material and financial resources, and it is too time consuming. It takes thousands of years to build this gate of space and time. This is seriously incompatible with the age of the universe. Speed. "

Hearing Liu Peiqiang's words, Qin Yi nodded happily.

Looking at the huge door of time and space in front of me, when I was in it, I had to be deeply shocked by this huge cosmic project. It was too big.

But Qin Yi also knows clearly how expensive the time and space gate is, and the resources consumed by the construction of a time and space gate are too great.

One of the most important reasons is the energy problem.

If you want to achieve space transmission, through the gate of space and time in a very short time span a long distance, it requires extremely large capacity, and the use of controllable nuclear fusion reactor is obviously not feasible, only use stars as energy.

And it's not enough to have two stars, it needs dozens of stars.

The size of the star is so huge that the gate of space and time naturally needs to be built very large.

If a controllable antimatter reactor can be used to replace stars, then the size of the Gate of Time and Space can be built very small, so there is no need to waste so much resources and time to build this Gate of Space and Time.

"It's really too big and too expensive. In order to build this time and space gate, the Magellanic Cloud has already hollowed out a lot of star fields here."

"It's no problem to build several gates of space and time, but if there are more, we will be unable to eat them, and we don't have enough resources to build this gate of time and space, unless we go to mine black holes."

Ye Zhiqiu, who was on the side, nodded and said, he is the chief engineer of this door of time and space, and he is too aware of the resources consumed by this door of time and space.

All are made of degenerate materials. Degenerate materials are materials constructed from the atomic point of view. Tens of tons and hundreds of tons of steel are used to create degenerate materials, which may only be able to create a little bit. How much steel does it cost to build this huge gate of time and space?

That is simply an astronomical number.

In the interstellar age, the vast void is occupied, and the universe is extremely rich in material, which can be freely exploited. Otherwise, there will be so many resources for you to build the door of time and space.

"Take out the controllable antimatter technology as soon as possible, and use the antimatter technology as energy in the future construction of the door of space and time, and then build ten or eight doors of space and time at one time, and expand several river systems at once. "

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, then said happily.

There is no doubt that the Xinghan civilization must expand outwards.

One is its own population growth. There must be enough space and resources to meet the ever-expanding population.

The second is also for the safety of the Xinghan civilization itself. The Milky Way is too small. The Xinghan civilization is now only expanding in these areas around the Milky Way. It is too small to know the entire vast universe.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a huge layout centered on the Milky Way, and at least hundreds of river systems around the Milky Way should be included in the Xinghan's layout, so that a relatively safe area can be constructed. Civilization, Xinghan Civilization can also be at ease.

"There are not many people in the Andromeda galaxy, and there are not many people in the center of the Milky Way. Even if we have a hundred galaxies, we have no way to develop them for the time being."

A huge Ye Zhiqiu said with a lip, Qin Yi likes to expand outwards. Since the establishment of the Xinghan civilization, the Xinghan civilization has been expanding continuously, and there is almost no time to stop.

Therefore, although the population of the Xinghan civilization has been constantly exploding and becoming larger and larger, but the Xinghan has always been vast and sparsely populated, there are large areas and large areas of land that no one has developed, and there are large areas and large areas of stars that are empty , A bit of a violent feeling.

"Development is not another matter, the layout must be large, so that there is enough room for maneuver, not to mention, at our speed of development, in fact, it won't take long at all, I estimate that it will take more than a million years. In time, this information about the Milky Way and Andromeda will become overcrowded. "

Liu Peiqiang smiled and shook his head, saying that it is one thing to sparse land, and it is another thing to have a huge layout. As long as there is a huge layout, enough living space and resources, whether anyone can develop it or not Take your time, no matter what, grab the site first and talk about it.

"Our national policy determines that we can quickly become strong and rise, and also that we must continue to expand externally. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com seizes more space and resources."

"It's still early, it just expands around the galaxy for a moment. For the entire huge universe, this range is estimated to be a very small point. We can't really appear in the space until we have fully understood the space technology. In the eyes of cosmic strong people. "

Qin Yi also said with a smile, from the time of formulating the national policy of the Xinghan civilization, Qin Yi knew that the Xinghan civilization must continue to expand abroad and continue to migrate to a new territory.

Without expansion, it will not be able to satisfy the growing population. Once that time is reached, the population exploding alone will kill the Xinghan civilization. There is a high probability that the Xinghan civilization will split internally and compete for resources and space for survival. .

This is obviously a situation that Qin Yi does not want to see, so he must expand externally. Even if he encounters a powerful opponent and his head is broken, it is better than his own hands on his own and cruel to his own.

What's more, in the age of the universe, you don't have a huge population base, no huge territory, what do you do to compete with other powerful ethnic groups?
