In response to Fang Xu's question, Lü Yongchang calmly stood up from his seat, waved his hand, and opened another holographic image.
"I already have some ideas about how to store antihydrogen atoms."
"Particle trap device".
Pointing to the holographic image beside him, Lü Yongchang introduced it in a relaxed tone: "This is the name I gave it."
"Particle trap?" Fang Xu frowned, looking at the device in the holographic image that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, and subconsciously asked, "Magnetic field constraint?"
"Antihydrogen atoms can be uncharged."
Lü Yongchang chuckled softly: "It is indeed magnetic field constraint."
"But who says magnetic fields can only confine charged particles?"
As the second-in-command of the Academy of Sciences, Fang Xu had already come up with a plan when he heard this.
A hint of realization flickered in his eyes, followed by a touch of hesitation, as he said, "You mean..."
"Atomic magnetic moment?"
The atomic magnetic moment is the effective part of the sum of all magnetic moments inside an atom.
Its sources can be mainly divided into two aspects.
The orbital motion of electrons around the nucleus and the spin of electrons.
Hearing Fang Xu's hesitant tone, Lü Yongchang's smile grew even wider.
He responded affirmatively, "That's right, it's an atomic magnetic moment."
"In the Earth era, using the magnetic moment generated by the rotation of atoms to confine electrically neutral atoms was an extremely difficult task."
"But now, our technology for manipulating magnetic fields has become increasingly sophisticated, and we are able to complete the corresponding capture and constraint tasks with zero control."
As he spoke, he swiped the holographic image in front of him.
The projected image quickly rotated to a different angle.
The entire device was revealed to Fang Xu.
The whole device is like a long tube.
The tube is surrounded by layers of superconducting magnets.
These superconducting magnets, under zero control, will create an extremely complex magnetic field within the vacuum cavity of the tube.
When the antihydrogen atom passes through the inner cavity, the magnetic moment generated by its rotation interacts with the magnetic field.
In this way, the magnetic field will firmly bind it to the central region of the vacuum cavity.
As long as it doesn't come into contact with any substance, it will naturally not annihilate.
This gives humanity the opportunity to observe antimatter.
Beside the equipment blueprints, a slowly undulating curve graph gradually appeared.

“This is a graph of the internal magnetic field calculated from zero.” Lü Yongchang shrugged. “It’s still just a theoretical concept at the moment.”
"Everything will have to wait until that big thing on Guangwei is finished."
Fang Xu looked at the slowly undulating curve in front of him and took a deep breath.
It was that familiar feeling again.
Ever since the beginning of Earth's history, whenever he stood next to Lü Yongchang, he felt like a "useless person."
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, quickly letting go of the sense of urgency that had flashed through his mind.
He is no longer the same as the Earth era.
He paused for a moment, then spoke clearly, word by word.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Tell me about any other plans."
As the saying goes...
If you can't beat them, join them.
...
Time flies, and thirty years later...
Earth year 2450.
In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed since the first batch of public servants completed their "coming-of-age ceremony" and began working in the surface city of Dawn Star.
Over the past thirty years, the three space incubation centers have nurtured a certain number of public-born individuals each year.
However, under the precise control of the Zero-Sum Academy of Sciences, the number of public-funded individuals born each year is basically consistent with the number of deaths in the Human Federation.
Therefore, although the number of natural births continues to decline year by year, the total population of Dawn Star continues to grow steadily.
The proportion of people supported by the public has also gradually increased over the past thirty years.
Gradually, public servants have become a unique group in society.
On the one hand, the surface environment of Dawn Star has not yet been fully modified, and humans can only live in the six remaining surface cities.
Urban space is, after all, limited.
As time went by and with the continuous influx of new blood, the once somewhat empty city gradually became more vibrant.
It wasn't exactly crowded, but the number of people walking on the city streets had clearly increased significantly.
Therefore, competition within the city has become relatively fierce.
The public sector, which receives targeted educational resources, naturally possesses an advantage.
Fortunately, the zero-tolerance policy and the absolutely fair, open, and transparent promotion channels have kept the competition within the city in a virtuous cycle.
on the other hand.
Compared to natural persons, those raised in public institutions, due to their upbringing and personal experiences, tend to favor artificial wombs and social foster care systems when it comes to reproductive concepts.
Eligible and married public guardians often apply for a spot to have their own children through artificial wombs and social foster care systems.
Unlike the practices of natural persons, under the subtle influence of education, public-born individuals do not interfere much with their biological children.
They typically only visit the space incubation center at key moments to offer their care and blessings to the new generation.
Therefore, these new generations are becoming increasingly indifferent to traditional family ties.
Although traditional views on family ties are gradually being lost, under the education provided by the social foster care system, their sense of identity with the human community, or their sense of honor towards the human alliance, has actually increased significantly.
This novel concept has naturally had a certain impact on human society.
However, with the combined efforts of Parliament, the Academy of Sciences, and Zero, the two groups still get along very well.
at the same time.
The transformation project of the planetary fortress of Visor has also come to a successful conclusion.
Although Gamma is only a satellite of Dawn.
However, considering its enormous size, Lü Yongchang still gave it the name "Planetary Fortress".
There is no other reason.
Being handsome is a lifelong thing.
...
"professor."
The office door slowly opened, and Fang Xu's voice followed.
"The satellite-encircling particle accelerator has been completed."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yongchang, who was sitting at his desk refining his antimatter theory, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The next moment, a brand new holographic projection automatically unfolded in front of him.
The image clearly shows Apollo, now transformed into a steel planet!
He slowly stood up from his seat, subconsciously staring at the intricate pipe system on the surface of the satellite, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Finally finished..."
He muttered to himself.
Then, he came to his senses, his serious expression tinged with excitement.
"Prepare for the first trial run!"
"From today onwards, humanity will truly unveil the mystery of antimatter!"
