Chapter 63, Controllable Antimatter Technology (Chapter 1)

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

Some people may find it unbelievable that this civilization of Xinghan has already mastered the powerful civilization of space technology, and there is still a shortage of energy, isn't it a bit nonsense?

But no, it is indeed the problem of energy shortage that is about to appear.

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

Every adult can be allocated a small spaceship for free, and this spaceship alone is definitely a super energy-consuming household.

We must know how huge the current population base of Xinghan civilization is, with a huge population calculated in trillions, coupled with the development of science and technology, it has an extremely large number of spaceships, space battleships, and countless space factories.

It's all a big energy hog.

Among other things, just a factory in space consumes more energy than the entire earth in the earth era.

If it weren't for the fact that he has already mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, and the nuclear fusion reactors are getting smaller and smaller, and most of the big energy consumers use the controllable nuclear fusion reactors as energy sources, it is estimated that Xinghan has long been short of energy. up.

Energy has been an important factor in human development since the Industrial Revolution.

From the earliest use of coal, to later oil, electric energy, nuclear energy, and solar energy, with the development of science and technology, the energy required is also exploding in geometric multiples.

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

Even though they have mastered the small-scale controllable nuclear fusion technology, the Xinghan civilization has become more and more energy-intensive over the years. The price of fuel related to controllable nuclear fusion has also risen again and again. From this aspect alone, we can know the problem of energy shortage. .

The population base of Xinghan civilization is too huge. The key point is that there are too many places that need energy. The spaceships have already spread to individuals, so the energy required is huge.

Moreover, the population of Xinghan is still growing explosively, 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 the space transmission technology becomes more and more mature, it will eventually be able to be installed on the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft can also be transmitted to the adjacent river system through space,

The energy required for this will be even greater.

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

Relying on nuclear energy alone is no longer enough to satisfy the huge appetite.

Scientists have set their sights on controllable antimatter technology. The energy generated when antimatter and positive matter annihilate is hundreds of millions of times that of nuclear fusion. The energy released by one gram of antimatter is almost equivalent to three Hiroshima The energy released by the nuclear bomb and the antimatter needed to destroy the earth only need a few tens of grams.

From here we can know the power of antimatter energy.

As early as a long time ago, the Xinghan civilization had mastered the antimatter bomb, but the antimatter bomb and the controllable antimatter reactor are completely different things.

One is an elementary school topic, and the other is an advanced mathematics topic, and there is no equivalent level between the two.

Scientists in Xinghan have been studying this thing for a long time, just because antimatter is extremely unstable. Once it encounters any positive matter, it will immediately annihilate, and when it annihilates, it will generate extremely powerful and terrible energy. Therefore, 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 blockade technology, scientists have finally found a way to solve this problem.

The method is very simple. Space folding and space blockade are used to form a unique space dedicated to antimatter annihilation. In this way, the control and safety issues of antimatter reactions are successfully realized.

"It's solved, the gate of time and space is too big to build, it consumes too much manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and it takes too much time. It takes thousands of years to build this gate of time and space alone, which is seriously inconsistent with the age of the universe. speed."

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

Looking at the huge space-time gate in front of him, when he was in it, he had to be deeply shocked by this huge cosmic project, it was really too big.

But Qin Yi also clearly knows how expensive this gate of time and space is, and the construction of a gate of time and space consumes too many resources.

One of the most important reasons is the energy problem.

In order to achieve space teleportation and cross long distances in a short period of time through the portal of time and space, it requires extremely large capabilities, and it is obviously impossible to use controllable nuclear fusion reactors, and only stars can be used as energy.

And it is not enough for one or two stars, dozens of stars are needed.

No matter how huge the size of a star is, the gate of time and space will naturally be built very huge.

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 many resources and time to build the gate of time and space.

"It is indeed too big and consumes too many resources. In order to build this space-time gate, a lot of star fields have been hollowed out here in the Magellan galaxy."

"It's no problem to build a few time-space gates, but if there are too many, we will be overwhelmed, and we don't have enough resources to build this time-space gate, unless we mine black holes."

Ye Zhiqiu on the side also nodded and said, he is the chief engineer of this gate of time and space, and he is very aware of the resources consumed by this gate of time and space.

All are made of degenerate materials, which are constructed from the perspective of atoms. Dozens of tons or hundreds of tons of steel are used to make degenerate materials, and it may only be possible to make a little bit. How much steel does it take to build this gigantic gate of time and space?

That is simply an astronomical figure.

That is the interstellar era of the universe, which occupies the vast void, and the universe is extremely rich in matter, which can be mined at will. Otherwise, there will be so many resources for you to create the gate of time and space.

"Get out the controllable antimatter technology as soon as possible, and use the antimatter technology as energy when building the gates of time and space in the future. At that time, build ten or eight gates of time and space at a time, and expand several river systems at one time. "

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, then said happily.

There is no doubt that Xinghan civilization must expand outward.

One is its own population growth, which must have enough space and resources to meet the ever-explosive population growth.

The second is also for the safety of the Xinghan civilization itself. The Milky Way is too small. The Xinghan civilization is only expanding in these areas around the Milky Way, and the knowledge of the entire vast universe is too small.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a huge territory with the Milky Way as the center, and at least hundreds of galaxies around the Milky Way into the territory of Xinghan, so that a relatively safe area can be constructed. Civilization, Xinghan civilization can also do a job with ease.

"Now 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 river systems, we have no way to develop them for the time being."

A big Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips and said, Qin Yi likes to expand externally. Since the establishment of Xinghan civilization, Xinghan civilization has been expanding continuously, and it is almost rare to stop.

Therefore, although the population of Xinghan civilization has been constantly exploding and becoming larger and larger, Xinghan has always been sparsely populated. There are large and large areas of land that no one has developed, and large and large areas of the star field have been vacant. , feeling a bit reckless.

"Development or not is another matter. The territory must be large, so that there is enough room for maneuver. What's more, with our development speed, it won't take too long at all. I estimate it will take at most a million years. Time, this Milky Way and Andromeda information will be overcrowded."

Liu Peiqiang smiled and shook his head and said, it's one thing to have a vast land and few people, but another thing to have a huge territory. As long as there is a huge territory, enough living space and resources, it doesn't matter if anyone develops it. Take your time, no matter what, first grab the site first.

"Our national policy determines that we can grow stronger and rise quickly, and it also determines that we must continue to expand externally and seize more space and resources."

"It's still early. It's just a sudden expansion around the Milky Way. For the entire huge universe, this range is estimated to be a very insignificant point. When we have a thorough understanding of space technology, we can truly appear in the universe." In the eyes of the powerful race in the universe."

Qin Yi also said with a smile that since the establishment of the national policy of Xinghan civilization, Qin Yi knew that Xinghan civilization must continue to expand externally and migrate to new territories.

The ever-increasing population cannot be satisfied without expansion. Once that time comes, the population of the internal explosion alone will kill the Xinghan civilization. There is a high probability that the Xinghan civilization will split internally and compete with each other for resources and space for survival. .

This is obviously a situation that Qin Yi doesn't want to see, so he has to expand externally. Even if he meets a powerful opponent and is beaten to the point of bleeding, it is better than his own people attacking his own people and being cruel to his own people.

What's more, in the age of the universe, you don't have a huge population base, and you don't have a huge and vast territory. What do you use to compete with other powerful ethnic groups?
