"call……"
In the office, Lü Yongchang slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and reached out to take a packet of high-concentration nutrient solution handed to him by the robot.
When he was absorbing the nutrient solution, Lü Yongchang showed a hint of confusion on his face.
Something feels off.
He shook his head vigorously, and the strange feeling slowly dissipated.
Because he was eager to write down the plan in his mind, he didn't pay attention to this strange feeling, taking it as just a minor aftereffect of his brain "overclocking".
"Zero, convene a meeting of the Academy of Sciences."
He wrote and drew on the holographic interface in front of him while speaking in a deep voice.
"On the Feasibility of a Scheme for Mass Production of Low-Temperature Antihydrogen Atoms by Utilizing Collisions Between Excited-State Electron-Pairs and Antiprotons"
On the holographic screen, a line of text quickly appeared.
...
Earth year 2455.
Inside the first laboratory of the Dawn Star Human Academy of Sciences, the lights were on.
Beyond just the First Laboratory, there are six surface cities on Dawn Star, a space incubation center, and a gold mining station on an ice giant star…
It was a scene of bright lights!
Ice giant geosynchronous orbit, star gold mining station.
Hope, having finished a day's work, showed no signs of fatigue.
He sat in his seat, staring intently at the holographic image in front of him.
Like Hope.
At this moment, all members of the All-People Alliance who have been awakened are focused on the holographic image.
At this very moment, all the holographic images of the All-People Alliance are playing the same scene!
In the picture.
Every researcher was intently focused on the holographic image in front of them, checking for any possible problems.
"Everyone."
Lu Yongchang's steady and powerful voice came from the speaker.
"After four years of hard work, the first truly meaningful antimatter manufacturing device of the Human Federation has been successfully launched."
"425 years ago, the first nuclear fusion reactor was invented, which freed mankind from the energy problem and opened the door to the interstellar age."
"And today!"
"The mass production of antimatter means that humanity is about to shed its label as a low-level interstellar civilization!"
"After more than four hundred years of effort, human civilization has finally gained a foothold in the universe!"
"I hope, I expect, and I believe that one day, human civilization will send its own voice into the universe!"
"May glory endure for humankind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the laboratory!
When Hope, far away in the Ice Giant, heard the last sentence, her eyes involuntarily reddened slightly.
It's been four hundred years!
Four hundred years ago, when he was still a child, Lü Yongchang's words aroused his desire to survive.
Four hundred years later, it's still the same people, still the same words!
His nostrils twitched slightly as he murmured, "May humanity...live in glory forever."
...
Amidst thunderous applause, Lü Yongchang stood quietly in place, a smile on his lips, waiting.
When the applause subsided, he spoke again.
"I hereby declare that the first trial run of Phoenix One is now commenced!"
Phoenix One, officially known as the Phoenix One Anti-Hydrogen Atom Manufacturing Device.
As the name suggests.
It can produce large quantities of antihydrogen atoms.
As for why it's the antihydrogen atom...
Just as nuclear fusion mainly uses deuterium, tritium, and helium, antihydrogen atoms are the easiest antimatter to produce.
The massive device set up on the surface of Guangwei began operation the moment the order was given.
Powered by energy from several fusion reactors, Phoenix One continuously produces antiprotons and electron diazos.
Subsequently, the two collided with each other in the reaction chamber of Phoenix One.
One by one, low-temperature antihydrogen atoms appeared and, guided by the magnetic field, slowly entered the pre-designed storage chamber.
...
"Antihydrogen atoms successfully detected!"
A monotonous, electronically synthesized voice rang out in the laboratory, immediately eliciting cheers!
Lu Yongchang quietly looked at the huge holographic image directly in front of him.
He knew this was far from over!
For Phoenix One, creating antimatter is not difficult; the real challenge lies in confining and storing it!
The properties of antimatter mean that it cannot be stored in a normal way—once it comes into contact with matter, it will undergo an extremely violent annihilation reaction.
Lu Yongchang didn't want to see the day when the warships of human civilization would turn into a dazzling firework while sailing.
Therefore, a significant amount of time over the past four years has been spent on technologies for storing large quantities of antihydrogen atoms.
A device very similar to a particle trap was thus created.
The antimatter storage device, with its inner cavity in a high-purity vacuum environment, contains three layers of magnetic fields.
These three magnetic fields are each powered by a separate power supply line to prevent unexpected situations.
As for the complete disappearance of the three magnetic fields...
Lü Yongchang believes that if things really come to that, humanity's starships will have suffered irreparable and devastating damage.
Therefore, utilizing the antimatter within the storage device to make its final contribution is also a good option.
"Antihydrogen atoms have successfully entered the storage device."
"Stored successfully!"
Zero's electronic synthesized voice interrupted Lü Yongchang's thoughts.
Looking at the large characters in the holographic projection, a faint smile finally appeared on Lü Yongchang's tense face.
