Chapter 459 - 460 Anti-Matter Promotion (Part I)
They colonized more than one star system.
This is mainly because the initial sub-light speed navigation success rate is not high. In order to make up for the low probability, Huo Gu and others carried out sub-light speed travels of multiple star systems.
It's not that they don't want to launch a large number of organisms to the same stellar system to increase the probability of success.
It is only the light sail change direction link, which requires the feedback signal of the destination star to complete. If multiple organisms are emitted into a star system at one time, this leads to the need for feedback signals from multiple destination stars. Due to many reasons such as the emission position, emission time, emission angle, scale reduction effect and so on, it is very It is easy to cause accidents such as the disorder and overlap of the redirection instructions. historical
This is like a reason why the ground console randomly issued a command after the rocket was launched and took off. In this case, the rocket can still smoothly enter space and into orbit. It must be a blessing star. The astronauts on the rocket must have been a good man who practiced for ten generations in his last life.
For these reasons, Huogu and others adopted the strategy of colonizing multiple star systems and launched a sublight-light-speed colonization movement towards all single and double star systems with planets in a radius of 25 light years as the center.
There are hundreds of such a star system in 25 light years. The collectors have lived up to expectations and completed the colonization of the star system, and established antimatter giants and star orbits in the star system, transporting the antimatter back to the starting star one after another.
The star-like bodies observed by the empire in the cosmic background are actually not celestial bodies. They are subluminal organisms that use antihydrogen mass positive and anti-mass annihilation to slow down, because positive and anti-mass annihilation will release a huge amount of gamma rays, and sub-light organisms are also very close to the starting star system, which is observed by the Selin people. It is no different from the stars in the background of the universe.
However, such "artificial stars" will not last for a long time. After a period of time, the decelerated antimatter consumption is exhausted, the speed of sub-light organisms also slows down, and the inexplicable number of "luminous objects" in the background disappears.
The final result of this vision is that the empire is frightened.
Compared with the duskers on the side of the empire, Huo Gu's side is worried about something else.
Sub-light-speed organisms have successfully crossed a distance of several light years and more than ten light-years to return to the star system, and more than 20 light-year-old organisms are still returning one after another.
Huo Gu's anti-material resources have slowly accumulated from hundreds of tons at the beginning to hundreds of thousands of tons today.
This is a good thing! What is the Selin people in the district? So much antimatter can be directly thrown into the star to form a black hole, which artificially triggers a supernova explosion!
But there is also a question in front of Huo Gu - how to use these anti-material resources?
Antimatter is too dangerous. As soon as it comes into contact with positive matter, it will immediately annihilate and release extremely high energy. But because of this, it is difficult to use. The key is that the strong penetration of gamma rays is too targeted to the organism, or the organism is too fragile under high-energy radiation. Even if the cell does not necrosize, the internal genes are easily destroyed by the impact of the flow of radioactive particles.
The better thing is that some strange mutations occur, such as having one leg and one more head. If it is worse, it means that the gene cannot be used.
If it is on the side of the empire, the simple dead tools are easy to solve, but Huogu is an organic organism, a flesh and blood body, which has a great impact on them.
If the demand cannot be met, it is necessary to find ways to change it - if you want to use the 'wealth' transported back by the collectors of other star systems across the light-year scale, Huo Gu and they must make adjustments to redesign the organisms around antimatter.
"Let me think about it first..."
Huo Gu was considering the type of creature designed. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to give priority to the design of aggressive organisms.
"Then let's start to rectify the mother ship's organism first."
Huo Gu, who had thought about it, ordered all the collectors engaged in mental activities in the communication.
[I'll join in too! I'll join in too! I also want to join in such an interesting thing!
"Okay, you can join in, too."
With brainstorming, joining is of great help to Huo Gu, and naturally there is no reason for Huo Gu to refuse.
In the criss-crossed thinking network, a simulated antimatter mass stands in it, and then sets up a horizontal Penning ion trap container.
"The energy problem can be solved slowly later. We are now considering how to apply antimatter to the promotion and give priority to solving the problem of speed."
Huo Gu asked Ming and a group of collectors like this. Naturally, there is a reason for it. Whether it is attack, defense or escape, the party with a speed advantage has always taken the high initiative.
The most important thing is to escape. Antimatter gives Huo Gu a basic condition that they can reach the sub-light speed without the help of the star orbit. Maybe escape seems very cowardly, but in the face of the survival of a civilization, is not important at all, as long as it can survive. Anything is possible, and there is still a chance. If you die, it will be a hundred.
The collectors agreed and began to try to 'add' some external parts to the antimatter to apply the antimatter in the container.
At first, the collectors conceived that one side of the container was to open, and there was a nozzle inside the container, which would spray a trace amount of antihydrogen mass. After the annihilation of the positive and antimatter was triggered, the energy would be released from the notch side of the container, resulting in a strong thrust.
"No, it won't work."
After observing the design, Huo Gu said that such antimatter propulsion is not ideal. The reason is very simple. After one side of the container lacks a mouth, the originally sealed and uniform electric field structure is broken. It's okay not to move. Once the organism moves at a high speed in the universe, it is difficult for the strong magnetic force to block the antihydrogen gas mass. The main reason is that the acceleration is too high and the inertial pressure is too strong. The antihydrogen mass will be forcibly squeezed out of the opening, resulting in the loss of a large amount of antihydrogen mass.
It is not enough to re-block the gap, so that the energy of positive and anti-matter annihilation will not generate thrust to organisms in the universe, because the energy is transferred to the lid that blocks the gap.
Because of this, the gap must exist in order to release energy.
So the problem arises. How to design to solve such a problem?
[In fact, this problem can be solved in this way.]
He revealed his ideas, but it was not a brand-new design structure, but modified on the basis of the original design of the collectors.
