Chapter 242： Antimatter magnetic trap (4000)

Chapter 242 Antimatter Magnetic Force Trap (4000)

Hawson said: "This is natural."

He looked at He Xingzhou and said, “If Blue Star Civilization joins the Star Trade Group, our Star Trade Group can give you a 300-year discount on interstellar logistics costs and provide corresponding navigation protection.”

In the Star Trade Group, not all civilizations have the ability of interstellar transportation and logistics.

This business is mainly done by the three main principals, civilizations, because they have advanced warp speed ships and strong enough military strength.

Ordinary civilizations must pay their corresponding fees to trade.

"Old friend, the Blue Star Civilization is a potential civilization that the Royal Palace of Orion wants to win. Isn't this condition a bit worse?" Shizao said again.

Hawson smiled bitterly, and said, “This is the maximum authority I can give. The Blue Star civilization is in the final analysis a second-level civilization. Even if it grows up, it will be a matter of thousands of years.”

"Moreover, the situation in all parts of the Star Trade Group is very tense, and there is no more resources available."

He Xingzhou thought in his heart that although the royal court of Orion had given many benefits, the price was to make Blue Star civilization a vassal. Actually, it was a blood loss!

Star Trade Group offers few benefits here, but more freedom.

He Xingzhou said: "If we want to join the Star Trade Group, the Star Trade Group must at least protect the safety of the Blue Star Civilization."

"We are on the edge of the Pleiadian civilization, that is the sphere of influence of the Royal Orion court. Once we join the Star Trade Group, they will inevitably be regarded as enemies." He Xingzhou said to Hosen, "The Star Trade Group must be able to guarantee this! "

Hawson stood up, thinking while talking to important figures in his own civilization.

A moment later, he said: “The principle of the Star Trade Group is generally that each civilization protects itself. Unless it is a subsidiary civilization, we will protect it.”

"But..." He said, "Your situation is special. The coordinates of the Blue Star Civilization are at the junction of the Star Trade Group forces and the Orion Royal Court forces."

"If you join the Star Trade Group, we are naturally obliged to maintain your safety."

"I can guarantee now that if you join. When a civilization higher than your civilization level is one level higher than your civilization level, the Star Trade Group will send troops to support it!"

He Xingzhou is still dissatisfied. If it is really an advanced civilization, I am afraid that they will be wiped out before the rescue arrives.

He continued to negotiate with Hosen, but he still couldn't get too many benefits.

After some discussions, the two parties agreed to discuss again in a few days.

He Xingzhou negotiated with Shizao and others.

Bai Shizao said: "The Star Trade Group will not give more benefits unless you are willing to become their affiliated civilizations or alien colonies."

"This is impossible." He Xingzhou said.

"The best situation is to have the Star Trade Group send a patrol fleet to the nearby star field to frighten the Orion King's Court." Shiraishizao said, "This thing should have been done by the Black Sea civilization."

said this, he looked helpless, "Unfortunately, now, we are busy fighting inwardly and don't care about these things anymore."

He Xingzhou said: "I am worried that if I join the Star Trade Group, King Orion will take action against us."

"That's for sure." Shiizao said, "The Orion Palace has been fighting frequently for nearly a hundred years, and it will be destroyed if you don't surrender."

"You have no choice."

He Xingzhou also understands this truth, it seems that both sides are more polite to the Blue Star civilization now.

Once he joins one party, he will inevitably beat the other party.

Don’t join, swing left and right, and both sides will do it together.

……

He Xingzhou's consciousness exited the virtual universe and has been discussing with the commanders.

"We have fought in the solar system for so long, sacrificed and shed so much blood, absolutely not to surrender to other civilizations! Otherwise, we will directly become a subsidiary civilization of the Black Sea civilization at the beginning!" The commanders' opinions were quite consistent.

"It is impossible to submit to the Royal Orion Court!"

"If this is the case, then we have to think about it, how can we protect ourselves after rejecting the royal court of Orion?" He Xingzhou also agreed to join the Star Trade Group in his heart.

"If the Royal Palace of Orion sends a high-level civilization to take action, we are afraid that we will not have a chance." He Hongwei said, "For the sake of safety, we should establish a survival base far away from the solar system. Even if the solar system is destroyed, we can make a comeback."

"This is a backup method." Cui Weimin said, "In my opinion, if the Star Trade Group can guarantee the enemy's third-level and above civilizations and fight against the second-level civilization, we still have some confidence."

He Xingzhou nodded and said: "At least our sub-light speed warships are powerful, and civilizations below level 2.5 are not our opponents!"

He can say this confidently now. Everyone is fighting in the civilized arena of the virtual universe and has roughly understood the average level of secondary civilization in the universe.

In civilized competitions below level 2.5, Blue Star Civilization has not failed so far!

The power of Dyson rays is even more comparable to a constant-star destruction weapon!

The reason why I still can’t beat a civilization above level 2.5 is because there are two important thresholds for civilization to reach level 2.5!

That is the application of antimatter energy and the development of warship warships.

When antimatter meets matter, annihilation occurs. The mass of positive and negative matter will all be converted into energy, and its energy conversion efficiency is even higher than nuclear fusion!

The annihilation energy of antimatter is 10 billion times that of the oxyhydroxide reaction and 300 times that of the thermonuclear reaction in the core of the sun!

This kind of energy utilization efficiency will make the entire civilization make a qualitative leap!

The warp-speed engine allows the warship to enter the subspace and reach a speed that "surpasses" the speed of light. Once it surpasses the speed of light, its strike capability far exceeds that of sub-light speed warships.

Two factors lead to a huge gap between level 2.4 civilization and level 2.5 civilization!

"Anyway, we still have a hundred years of buffer time." He Xingzhou said, "No matter what decision we make in the end, within this hundred years, we must hurry up and expand our territory!"

"Strive for breakthroughs in antimatter extraction and utilization technology, and speed engine technology!"

"As long as we have these two points, our confidence will be much stronger, and the choice will be wider!"

"The commander-in-chief is right. In the final analysis, we have to be strong enough. It is better to rely on the sky and the earth than to rely on ourselves. This one hundred years will drag them first, and everything will be said after a hundred years!" everyone agreed.

So, Blue Star Civilization was in discussions with both the Star Trade Group and the Orion King Court, but they were not sure.

Because it is the staking period, neither side has made any actions.

Blue Star Civilization sent warships to explore nearby star systems and mine resources. Neither the Pleiades Star Club nor the Star Trade Group civilization have seen it.

Taking advantage of this effort, Blue Star Civilization rapidly expanded its sphere of influence.

In the Ministry of Science, He Xingzhou personally participated in the research and development of antimatter extraction and utilization technology.

On the Quantum Optic Brain, He Xingzhou unlocked multiple antimatter technologies at once.

"Consuming one hundred thousand energy points, unlock the antimatter particle magnetic trap technology."

"Consume 150,000 energy points to unlock the antiparticle reducer and antimatter capture technology."

"Consume 200,000 energy points to unlock antimatter reaction control technology."

"Consuming 250,000 energy points, unlock the annihilation reaction energy converter technology."

……

"We have been conducting research on antimatter for nearly two hundred years." On the super ring, He Xingzhou is communicating with Xu Tengbin and others.

One of the major research projects of the   Ring Planet Particle Collider is antimatter research.

In particle collision, antimatter will be produced. The mass of antimatter produced by the ring-planet particle collider during particle collisions is still quite large.

"Antiparticles have weak magnetism. Using this feature, we can use magnetic traps to achieve short-term, small-mass capture. But long-term, large-mass capture is still a problem." Xu Tengbin said.

"Try the cooperation of the antiparticle reducer and the magnetic trap."

Particle accelerator is for particle collision. This antiparticle reducer is a magnetic field that cools, decelerates and accumulates high-energy antiprotons and positrons, and finally forms a large number of antihydrogen atoms under the restraint of the electromagnetic field. The temperature of these "cold" antihydrogen atoms is only a few degrees higher than absolute zero. It is easier to "capture".

The research team began to design and manufacture antiparticle speed reducers and antiparticle magnetic traps, and installed them on the ring-planet particle collider.

A few months later, they started a formal capture experiment of "antimatter".

"Particle collider, start!" Xu Tengbin started the collider. The two beams of particles approached the speed of light infinitely through the accelerator surrounding the planet, and then collided together.

They have conducted this experiment many times, and they were all about studying God particles before.

This time, the antimatter produced when the particles collide has become their main target.

The antiparticle appears in the collision, and it begins to escape quickly. Once it encounters the corresponding positive particle, an annihilation reaction will occur, transforming all the mass into energy and burst out.

And the anti-particle reducer starts to work, the magnetic field cools and gathers the particles, and the anti-particle escape speed is greatly slowed down. At the same time, the magnetic trap gathers them together and uses the vacuum magnetic field to restrain them.

"More than one kilogram of antiparticle has been captured."

"There are so many, it seems that our initial plan was successful!" Xu Tengbin said with joy. The energy that this mass of antiparticle can explode has surpassed their space hydrogen bombs and other weapons!

Even to release the Purgatory Ray Cannon is completely enough!

"It's still too little." He Xingzhou is still not satisfied. The capture of antimatter is of great significance, but the quality is too small to allow the Blue Star civilization to complete the large-scale application of antimatter.

"The Ring Planet Particle Collider should collide with particles day and night, collect antimatter, and become an antimatter maker!"

"Then we have to build a special antimatter space magnetic warehouse for storage, and a special antimatter ship for transportation, so that it can be used on a large scale."

A week later, He Xingzhou ordered the construction of a larger annular antimatter production plant in Jupiter’s outer space.

Its mass and volume will be more than a thousand times larger than the super star ring!

Only in this way can antimatter be more fully used in human society.

"After reaching level 2.5 civilization, various antimatter reactors, warp engines, large space giants, space weapons, the antimatter that needs to be consumed every moment is astronomical." He Xingzhou plans for the future.

Blue Star Civilization is still facing the risk of war. If war starts, the demand for anti-matter will have to be hundreds of times higher!

It is necessary to expand the antimatter factory, but it is not enough.

This problem not only troubles them, but also troubles countless civilizations. In the trading area of ​​Galaxy City, antimatter is the most popular transaction. It can even act as a star coin to purchase resources of other civilizations.

A powerful civilization often controls its own subsidiary civilization through the control of antimatter.

"Without a stellar furnace, antimatter will never be enough!" He Xingzhou really wants to start designing and manufacturing a stellar furnace immediately, but they do not currently have this technology.

"Anyway, first occupy a few more star systems."

……

The expansion of Blue Star civilization and interstellar trade began to accelerate.

Five years later, the nearest star system to the solar system, the neighboring star system, a human interstellar development fleet came here.

Captain Huang Sheng looked at the light on the screen, which was the light from Proxima Centauri. After several years of sailing, this was their close approach to the star again.

Like the sun, its light is much dimmer. This is a red dwarf star and does not have much stellar energy.

He was expecting: "I don’t know if there are any aliens!"

"Don't think about it, there is a high probability that it won't. Tianhe civilization has already detected this star system, and there is no life." Xiong Manni said.

"Maybe they didn't find it!" Huang Sheng was excited, and ordered: "The reconnaissance ship is fully dispatched, and together with the scientific research ship, all large celestial bodies in the entire star system will be explored on one side!"

"Received!" In the fleet, the ships spread out one by one, searching in the star system.

Like the intelligence of Sirius civilization, there are no aliens in this star system, but there are planets that can be exploited for resources.

"Proxima b is about 1.3 times the mass of Blue Star, and is 7 million kilometers away from Proxima. The ecological environment is bad, and no life has been found, so it can be transformed." This is the news from the development fleet.

"Transform Proxima b into a habitable planet, as the first colony of our outer star system." He Xingzhou ordered.

Although Proxima Centauri has relatively few resources, it is a star system anyway.

With the current strength of Blue Star Civilization, it is easy to transform a planet!

The exploration of the   Proxima Centauri star system is just the beginning. The former commanders of the major planetary fleets of the Blue Star Civilization have now embarked on the journey of interstellar development.

Another year later, the exploratory fleet led by Meng Hai came to the Nanmen II star system 4.4 light-years away from the solar system. There are two stars, Nanmen II A and B. Similarly, it has also become a Blue Star civilization colony.

Next is the Wolfe star system 7.8 light-years away from the solar system, the Rutan star system 8.7 light-years away from the solar system, and the Rakai star system 10.7 light-years away from the solar system...

The expansion speed of the Blue Star civilization made the surrounding neighbors unable to sit still.

The Procyon star system. Since the failure of the expedition to the solar system, the Procyon civilization has been in a slump. The new leader Kadel has been supervising the actions of Blue Star Civilization. Seeing the rapid expansion of Blue Star Civilization, Kadel was completely panicked.

Their "scientific research" fleet has encountered the Blue Star Civilization fleet several times, and the performance of the opponent's ship has far surpassed them.

They don’t even have a Star Destroyer, and there are already a lot of sub-light-speed warships on the other side.

Because of this, he was worried, and the entire civilization was worried. One day the Blue Star civilization would come over. After all, they have enemies.

Kadel, together with the new leader of Sirius civilization and members of other civilizations of the Pleiades, report to the main civilization, and hope that the Pleiades civilization will respond to this.

In the virtual universe, all members of the Subaru Star Club gather here. There are a total of 132 star systems, and a total of 38 civilization leaders are discussing the behavior of the Blue Star civilization.
