Galactic Garbage Station

Chapter 445: I broke out in a cold sweat

Views:

Even if the Golden Eagle is carrying Su Jing, its short-distance flight speed is close to 400 kilometers per hour. It only took less than ten seconds to reach home, landed on the roof of the building, and then took the pets down to the first floor and entered the hyperspace garbage station.

After entering, there was the usual rumbling sound, and the vortex in the sky was dumping garbage. Su Jing also asked the pets to guard around as usual, and at the same time released her mental power to sweep through the entire pile of garbage.

At this moment, a voice sounded again from above:

"Finally succeeded again."

"What's that in your hand?"

"Antimatter energy, I think it may be that the garbage station model has insufficient energy, causing the space-time node to be unstable, so I try to replenish the energy and see if there is a change. If it becomes a little more stable, I will upgrade the garbage station model to one next time. Level garbage dump.”

"This is a bit too much, and it's a waste of an antimatter container."

"This is just a disposable antimatter container, and it contains 0.01 grams of antimatter. It doesn't hurt to give it a try."

Listening to the conversation above, Su Jing's face changed drastically, and she subconsciously turned around and ran away. He didn't know much about antimatter, but he had heard about it. It is said that just one gram of antimatter is equivalent to the energy of a 200,000-ton nuclear bomb. —More than 20 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and 0.01 grams of antimatter is extremely terrifying.

However, it was already too late. Just as Su Jing started to escape, a football-sized glass container fell from the whirlpool, and then the container exploded with a bang. At that moment, Su Jing felt that the entire Super Dimension Garbage Station suddenly produced a huge magnetic field, covering the container that was about to explode. The container exploded, but just like a glass window being shattered, its power was extremely limited. , and then the magnetic field disappeared, and a moment of calm returned to the garbage station.

"What's going on? No reaction at all?" Su Jing didn't know why. 0.01 grams of antimatter, this little power

At this moment, mysterious lines suddenly lit up on the ground underfoot, covering the entire surface of the hyperspace garbage station. After a moment, the hemispheric space with a diameter of 500 meters rapidly expanded outwards, with a diameter of 510 meters and a diameter of 50 meters. One hundred and twenty meters, five hundred and thirty meters... Looking outside the garbage station, I found that the things on the first floor seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and I seemed to be slowly shrinking.

The voice above the whirlpool sounded again:

"The antimatter energy should have been successfully transmitted."

"But it seems to have no effect. The space-time tunnel is still extremely unstable."

"I told you that your efforts were in vain."

"I wasted a disposable antimatter container and 0.01 grams of antimatter energy."

Then, the vortex disappeared and the garbage stopped dumping. However, the space of the Super Dimension Garbage Station continued to expand, continuing to grow to a diameter of 800 meters before finally stopping. In this way, the space of the Super Dimension Garbage Station seemed much more spacious. You know, in terms of the volume of a spherical space, when the diameter increases from 500 meters to 800 meters, the volume increases by 3.096 times.

Su Jing released her mental power and scanned the entire quiet garbage dump. No abnormalities were found, it was just enlarged, and she breathed a sigh of relief. However, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back. He roughly explored the large pile of garbage and found that there were no large creatures, so he turned on the computer and checked the information on antimatter energy. He was still a little worried. The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became. Antimatter is really an amazing energy source.

"The diverse macroscopic objects in nature are reduced to their microscopic origins. They are all composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. These particles are therefore called elementary particles, which means that they are the basic bricks that construct everything in the world. However, elementary particles The world is not that simple. In the early 1930s, someone discovered positively charged electrons (an electron is defined as a negatively charged subatomic particle). By the 1950s, with the discovery of antiprotons and antineutrons , people began to clearly realize that any basic particle has corresponding antiparticles in nature. Matter composed of antiparticles is called antimatter."

"Antimatter is the most powerful energy source currently known to mankind. It can release energy with 100% efficiency (the efficiency of nuclear fission is 1.5%). Antimatter does not cause pollution and does not produce radiation. A small drop of antimatter It can maintain the kinetic energy of the entire New York City throughout the day. If you want to send humans to Mars, you will need more than tens of millions of tons of chemical raw materials, but if you use antimatter as fuel, you will only need tens of milligrams, and the time will be greatly shortened. , it only takes 6 weeks to arrive.”

"However, after antimatter is produced, it will annihilate and disappear with positive matter in an instant under normal circumstances, and there is no container to save it. On November 17, 2010, scientists successfully created multiple antihydrogen atoms and used magnetic fields to make them exist 'Longer time' - about 0.17 seconds."

After a rough look, Su Jing had a general understanding and thought to herself: "Those people opposite are really advanced in technology. They actually have antimatter containers. They must have been using antimatter energy for a long time. The antimatter should not have come into contact with matter just now. Come on, The moment it arrived, it was wrapped in the magnetic field released by the hyperdimensional garbage station and absorbed by the hyperdimensional garbage station. Therefore, the space of the hyperdimensional garbage station expanded. In other words, the hyperdimensional garbage station itself uses antimatter as its energy source. .”

Su Jing feels that this discovery is simply too useful. The more garbage is thrown away, the more garbage will be thrown away. Sooner or later, one day, the garbage station will not be able to hold it at all. If the garbage station is infinitely huge, then no matter how terrible the garbage is, there will be no worries.

"Wait a minute, that person just mentioned that if it can be stabilized, the garbage station model will be upgraded to a first-level garbage station. Could it be said that antimatter energy can upgrade the garbage station?" Su Jing's eyes lit up slightly, because combined with what she heard before Information, the garbage station model does not have the function of processing garbage, so it will overflow when it is full. In other words, if it is upgraded to a first-level garbage station, it may not only have a much larger space, but also be able to process garbage and seal the garbage. That way Come, you no longer have to worry about scary creatures and scary substances running outside.

"It's definitely worth a try. If we can upgrade this garbage station model to the first level, it will be a lot easier." Su Jing thought excitedly, so she continued to check how to get antimatter, and then he became a little depressed. With current technology, antimatter can only be stored for a few minutes at most, and the production of antimatter requires a huge investment. One gram of antimatter is estimated to cost tens of billions, and it is consumed faster than money. Su Jing is undoubtedly a rich man now, but if he wants to produce antimatter, he will go bankrupt in an instant.
