Chapter 36 Express Delivery
If you want to confine antimatter particles, there are two ways to choose from.
First, it is to manufacture micro-particle accelerators to allow antimatter particles to rotate continuously along the annular pipe, and at the same time use a magnetic field to confine them in a vacuum to prevent them from colliding with the device and creating an annihilation effect.
The particle accelerator created based on this idea was named "Pengning Trap".
However, antihydrogen atoms only have negatively charged protons and positively charged electrons, which are neutral and cannot continue to move forward in the Penning trap.
The second way to confine antimatter particles is to create a space where the magnetic field will increase in any direction, and to lock the particles in the center of the space, like glass beads at the bottom of the bowl, rolling around, but never getting out of the trap.
Li Ang, who released a steady-state strong magnetic field, easily destroyed the shell of the photon torpedo, stripped the warhead as a whole, and carefully replaced the role of the bullet engine to create magnetic holes and firmly stabilize the antimatter container.
The whole process happened very quickly, and even before the photon torpedo automatic control system reacted, Li Ang had already collected a total of 58 antimatter containers.
The dark blue antimatter was filled inside the cylindrical crystal, trembling wildly, while Li Ang just snapped his fingers calmly and broke all the containers.
Without the constraints of the container, the dark blue antimatter did not disappear. Instead, it seemed to be kneaded and integrated by an invisible and intangible hand, woven layer by layer, twisted into fine filaments, and then rolled into balls.
This invisible and tangible big hand is the Feiyou trap created by Li Ang with the help of a strong magnetic field.
Behind Li Ang, the wreckage of the photon torpedo floated. He slowly converged the steady-state strong magnetic field and limited the magnetic force to the right arm.
The antimatter cluster of ping-pong balls was suspended at his fingertips, and he looked at this shocking creation with great interest, as if he was watching an extremely rare and exquisite work of art.
In the distance, the bridge of the Chitari starship was silent, and all the Chitari soldiers watched all this happen in disbelief.
"He...he has his antimatter been imprisoned with empty hands?"
"...Is this still an individual life?"
"God... forgive my sins..."
If the Zitaris had a respiratory system like humans, there might have been a slight crying sound in the bridge now.
Unfortunately, the crying of these interstellar raiders did not arouse Li Ang’s sympathy—the ending was already destined at the moment when the Zitaris gave up peaceful exchanges.
Li Ang smiled slightly, and did not rush to throw out the antimatter ball, but took a step without rushing.
After analyzing the photon torpedo, he mastered two new technologies.
One is vacuum zero-point energy absorption technology.
At the theoretical physics level, vacuum is not "empty". The vacuum in the theory of relativity and other theories is just an approximate awakening when the Planck constant tends to 0.
In most cases, vacuum is a constantly fluctuating ocean of negative energy electrons. A pair of positive and negative elementary particles are created when the energy ocean reaches its peak, and annihilate each other when the energy ocean falls into a trough.
In short, a system composed of positrons and negative electrons is both a vacuum.
According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it is impossible to know the position and momentum of a particle with a higher accuracy at the same time, so even at absolute zero, the particles are still in a vibrating state.
Otherwise, if the particle absolutely stagnates, its momentum and position can be accurately measured at the same time - this is contrary to the principle of uncertainty.
The energy that particles maintain vibration at absolute zero is zero point energy, and its essence is quantum fluctuation.
If the sea surface is compared to space and time, matter is waves and energy is waves, then the sea surface, which is calm and endless like a mirror, is a vacuum.
Humans once floated on the sea, thinking that vacuum was "empty", but ignored it under the sea.
Quantum fluctuations and falls below the sea of Dirac can be "borrowed" vacuum zero-point energy. This operation requires complex and confidential instruments as auxiliary, and its absorbed energy level is on the line.
However, with the help of the time gem, Li Ang, who has a temporary four-dimensional vision, can plunder the vacuum zero-point energy through the four-dimensional level like squeezing a lemon.
The vacuum energy obtained by "Free Piao" is so huge that in one breath, Li Ang's golden elixir realm Qihai was filled with abundant energy. What blocked him was no longer the barrenness of the spiritual energy, but the tenacity of the body.
At that time, Domaum used the law gap between two universes and obtained energy through electronic channels. The vacuum zero-point energy absorbed by Li Ang was far more than the former in terms of efficiency.
"Haha, you can't stop once you master such a cheap and efficient way of energy absorption."
Li Ang shook his head and chuckled, and took another step.
This time, he used another technology on photon torpedoes - the sub-light speed curvature engine.
The universe is not absolutely flat, but has curvature, like a large arc-shaped plastic wrap.
This layer of plastic wrap has a curve. In areas with flat curvature, its curvature is smaller, while in areas with larger curvature, its curvature is larger.
It is like a ship sailing on a horizontal river surface (the curvature is zero at this time). If a waterfall appears in front (the curvature of the waterfall is infinite), the ship will be swept by the surging water flow behind and accelerate.
Li Ang took the theoretical physicist Mikil Akubere model proposed in 1994 as a sample, and under the framework of Einstein's equations and general relativity,
Through the huge energy imparted by the vacuum zero point energy, the space is forcibly distorted, and part of the space behind is "ironed" and stretched, reducing its curvature.
The space ahead shrinks and the curvature becomes larger, so that the space that produces wrinkles will wrap it in the "curvature bubble".
Li Ang was dragged forward by the ripples in space, like a surfer riding on waves. The whole process did not violate the fastest law of light.
Simply put, it is to change the curvature of the front and back spaces as the source of power for movement.
In just one step, he crossed the distance of 2 light seconds and directly arrived at the outside of the command bridge of the Zitari Starship.
The tower-shaped black mothership looks extremely magnificent in the cold vacuum. Even Li Ang has to admit that these aliens have good aesthetic views.
"Dong, dun, dun."
He held the antimatter sphere in one hand and knocked on the one-sided floor-to-ceiling window on the front of the bridge with the other.
The mothership AI particularly caringly simulated the sound of Li Ang in the vacuum and played it on the bridge.
"Hello, is anyone?"
No one squeaked in the bridge, and all the Chitari people seemed to be fixed in place, and they dared not let out the atmosphere.
"If there is no one, I'll come in."
Li Ang said gently, his palm pressing lightly on the glass.
The transparent crystal forged from special materials and is enough to withstand the attack of light ion cannons. Under Li Ang's palm, it quickly melts like cheese cut by a hot knife, melting into a human-shaped hole.
The air pressure difference caused the air in the bridge to flow quickly along the hollow, but as Li Ang stepped into the hollow, the effect of air extraction immediately stopped - Li Ang casually covered the glass.
"Hello."
He glanced at the stunned Chitari people and raised the antimatter sphere in his hands, "There is a special express delivery here. Who will sign for it?"
