Chapter 1669 This Dangerous Thing Is Probably the Last Time
"Antimatter?"
At Pan-Asia Cooperation Headquarters, upon hearing Secretary Wei's report, Li Guangya, who was writing the articles of association of the People's Federation, froze for a moment, and his index finger on the holographic screen stopped involuntarily.
"Yes..." Nodding vigorously, Wei Song swallowed, and continued speaking quickly, "According to the news from the destroyers we deployed in orbit around Mars, they saw a beam of light coming from The ground shot at the satellite in orbit, and then the satellite seemed to be lit up. Then the laser light suddenly disappeared, but the energy will not disappear out of thin air... According to the calculations of the engineers on board, if the energy is Stored in that satellite, I am afraid that only the energy density of antimatter can match their calculation results."
After hearing this sentence, Li Guangya's expression was slightly moved, and he spoke immediately.
"Which department does that satellite belong to? Wait, is it ours?"
"It's ours...but it's not any department, but Academician Lu."
Academician Lu?
The moment Li Guangya heard the name, Li Guangya was stunned for a moment, but soon his face showed such an expression.
If it was Academician Lu, all this would make sense...
After heaving a sigh of relief, Li Guangya looked up at Secretary Wei who was standing in front of the desk, and continued.
"And then? Is there anything wrong with Academician Lu's experiment?"
"There is no such problem as you understand... But there are quite a few problems." Wei Song continued with an embarrassed expression on his face, "The key lies in the antimatter energy pile."
Li Guangya raised his eyebrows, looked at him and asked.
"oh?"
Facing the question asked by the chairman, Wei Song nodded and continued.
"According to the analysis of experts from our Military Research Institute, if calculated according to the input energy and energy conversion rate, if an explosion occurs, the energy released in an instant can easily destroy a space base, or scrap an aircraft carrier."
Hearing this sentence, Li Guangya was silent for a while.
After a long time, he sighed and said.
"I'll give Academician Lu a call later..."
Wei Song nodded and said with a wry smile.
"That's what I suggest too."
Although they all believed that it was impossible for Academician Lu to do the dangerous thing they imagined, but such a big time bomb was placed there, which really made people feel uneasy.
Especially if this satellite is stolen by air pirates active in the nearby airspace, I am afraid that the entire First Fleet will be exposed to danger.
Because of that experiment, the entire air carrier battle group deployed in Mars orbit has entered the highest level of alert from the standby state...
Not to mention how nervous this antimatter energy pile floating in the orbit makes the security forces of the Pan-Asian high-level and other colonial cities on Mars, but the energy tower not far from Tiangong City is full of cheers.
"We made it!"
Although he was equally incredulous about the energy tower in front of him, Fryn, who was standing here, still couldn't empathize with the engineers here.
Looking at those cheering and embracing people, he whispered something.
"As for being so excited..."
Coincidentally, this sentence was heard by an engineer standing next to him, who immediately cast a contemptuous look at Fryen, and said in a natural tone.
"As for being so excited? Someone would ask such a stupid question. This is a moment to witness history... Forget it, even if I tell you, you won't understand."
Fryn snorted and didn't speak.
Professor Leonard standing next to him looked up at the open dome, and suddenly looked at Lu Zhou thoughtfully and said.
"That antimatter energy pile... is in the sky?"
"That's right," Lu Zhou nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued, "We use laser transmitters to transmit the nuclear energy generated by the second-generation controllable fusion to the energy receiving target of the antimatter satellite in orbit. .Through a series of complex physical processes, these energies are finally transformed into magnetic fields that confine antimatter, and are used to generate high-energy antiparticles.”
Leonard said thoughtfully: "In other words, the antimatter energy pile is not an energy generation device, but an energy storage device?"
"It's understandable," Lu Zhou nodded, smiled and continued, "It's like a battery with a higher energy density."
When it comes to batteries, he really misses it. He still remembers the first application field research he completed, which was to solve the problem of lithium dendrites, thus completing the real lithium negative electrode battery.
Unexpectedly, a century later, this bottleneck of energy density will still be solved by ourselves.
Looking at Professor Leonard who said nothing, Lu Zhou thought for a while, then suddenly said.
"Remember that question you asked me earlier?"
Leonard: "Which one are you talking about?"
"The source of that fossil."
Hearing this sentence, Leonard was slightly stunned, and looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief.
"Will you... tell me?"
"Of course, but not now." Lu Zhou smiled and looked up at the sky. "At most one year, maybe half a year. On the day I set off for Tiancang V, I will put the ruins of Martian civilization I will tell you the exact location. I will leave it to you to reveal the secrets of billions of years ago."
Hearing this promise, an excited expression appeared on Professor Leonard's face.
"Really? The remains of Martian civilization really exist? Don't forget..."
"Don't worry," Lu Zhou nodded and continued with a smile, "I'm sure I won't forget... Wait a minute, I have a call."
Pointing to the personal terminal that suddenly turned on the signal light, Lu Zhou walked towards the side.
He didn't need to look at who the caller was, he could guess just by guessing, the call was probably from Li Guangya.
Sure enough, the moment he pressed the connect button, that familiar face immediately appeared in the video window.
Before Lu Zhou could say hello, Chairman Li Guangya, who was sitting at the other end of the camera, couldn't wait to speak.
"Did you make that antimatter satellite?"
"Do you mean the one in orbit?" Looking at Li Guangya in the video window, Lu Zhou smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "To be precise, its name is the antimatter reactor."
Hearing this name, Li Guangya gasped, and after a while, he smiled wryly and said.
"Why haven't I heard you say that?"
"Didn't I say that? I remember I posted an article on LSPM before..." Scratching his head, Lu Zhou thought for a while, and then said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter about these details It's... what's the matter with you?"
"Aside from that satellite, what else can I do?" Li Guangya sighed and continued, "To be honest, if that satellite exploded, what would it be like?"
"If it's full of energy, it's probably equivalent to a dozen conventional hydrogen bombs... Speaking of a good antimatter container, why do you use it to blow it up?"
Li Guangya almost didn't spit out when he heard a dozen hydrogen bombs.
"...In other words, you put a dozen hydrogen bombs in orbit around Mars?"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Lu Zhou sighed and explained, "Under normal circumstances, this thing will not explode, and compared to holding things as bombs, it obviously has many more capable Useful for value.”
Of course, even though that was the case, Lu Zhou did not deny the power of this thing.
To give the simplest example, if the satellite is filled with energy and detonated on Ceres, it will not be a problem at all to blow up a corner of the entire asteroid, and it may even cause the asteroid to deviate from the original orbit.
"I didn't intend to make it into a bomb," Li Guangya coughed lightly, and said awkwardly, "I just hope that next time you do such a dangerous thing, at least let me know in advance."
"Don't worry, this kind of dangerous thing will probably be the last time," said this meaningful sentence with a smile. Lu Zhou didn't give Li Guangya too much time to reflect on this sentence, and continued without the slightest pause, "Say Get up, I have something to ask you."
Li Guangya "What is it..."
"If I'm not wrong, the network connection between Tiangong City and Earth should have encountered some technical difficulties, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Li Guangya was startled, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"How did you know?"
Lu Zhou smiled without explaining.
Of course he would not say that he got the hint from a system from a higher civilization.
After the promotion task of energy science, the next step is informatics...
After pausing for a moment, Lu Zhou said.
"The traditional network connection mode can no longer adapt to the communication of the interstellar era... let alone the communication of the interstellar era. It's already stretched."
Li Guangya immediately asked: "Is there a solution?"
Solving the problem of network connection between Mars and Earth was one of the promises he made at the first congress of the Human Alliance.
Although he didn't expect that Lu Zhou would offer to help solve this problem, but since this rare opportunity was in front of him, he certainly wouldn't just miss it.
Looking at Chairman Li Guangya, whose face was full of eagerness, Lu Zhou smiled softly and continued.
"The solution is to build a brand new quantum network based on the framework of quantum communication technology. Under this brand new rule, we will exchange information with higher efficiency. How this is achieved will be explained very well. Complicated, especially for the uninitiated...you just have to figure it out."
"As for the specific problems, just let me solve them."
