With Wang Mingyuan dragging it, the holographic introduction interface quickly reached its end.
But his gaze was fixed on a word at the bottom of the holographic projection.
[Mega-structure project – Dyson Sphere Phase I Project]
Although he was born from Proxima Centauri b, he still had some understanding of this theoretical project that originated in the Earth era.
His face flushed red, and his fingers trembled more and more violently as he swiped the holographic projection.
"Sir, abnormal heart rate fluctuations have been detected..."
A synthesized electronic voice sounded from the side.
"No, I'm fine!" Wang Mingyuan interrupted the robot's question without turning around. "I need all the publicly available information about the Dyson Sphere Phase I project!"
At this moment, Wang Mingyuan was extremely excited, even more so than when he first saw the Guangwei Planet Fortress!
The reason is quite simple.
Dyson Sphere Phase I Project.
These few simple Chinese characters reveal incredibly important information.
Since there is a Phase I project, then naturally there will be a Phase II, and even a Phase III project!
As a large-scale engineering architect, Wang Mingyuan would naturally not let go of the opportunity to realize his dream!
Soon, lines of text and images appeared in the holographic projection in front of me.
After thirty years of dedicated construction, the Dyson Sphere Phase I project is nearing completion.
Currently, the Gliese 555 Dyson Cloud antimatter production system can fully meet the current needs of human civilization for antimatter.
[In view of the ever-increasing energy demand in the future, the Academy of Sciences will launch the Dyson Sphere Phase II project at an appropriate time...]
Wang Mingyuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the few lines of text at the bottom of the project introduction page!
Just as he expected!
How do I register for the Dyson Sphere Phase II construction project?
Without any hesitation, he turned to the robot beside him and asked.
This robot was only allocated a small portion of the computing power of the ship's onboard AI, so it hesitated for a few seconds before giving an answer when Wang Mingyuan asked it.
"Based on the query, you meet the criteria for this project."
"After completing the human enhancement and various adaptation courses, you can register on the Academy's official website."
"Adaptive curriculum?" Faced with this unfamiliar term, Wang Mingyuan frowned and asked again.
"The adaptation course is a month-long comprehensive training program."
"Through it, you will gain a rough understanding of the state of society today..."
A few minutes later.
A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Mingyuan's eyes.
Social security system...
It seems that the Academy of Sciences and Parliament have done quite a bit during this period!
...
Two months later.
A city on the surface of Dawn Star.
"Congratulations, Mr. Wang Mingyuan, you have successfully passed all the tests."
"The Dyson Sphere Phase II project is about to commence. Please prepare your personal belongings and proceed to Port 1 in the Dawn Star geosynchronous orbit for boarding..."
Upon seeing this message in the holographic projection, Wang Mingyuan, who was resting on the sofa, suddenly jumped up and let out a series of strange, incomprehensible cries.
After venting his intense emotions, he raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, forcing himself to calm down.
"Boarding at Port One!"
He excitedly muttered to himself, "Yes, yes, I should pack my bags!"
...
On the surface of Dawn Star, at the First Laboratory of the Human Federation Academy of Sciences.
After thirty years of research, under the leadership of Lü Yongchang, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has finally broken through the key technology of antimatter engines.
Lu Yongchang stood in front of the giant holographic projection, looked up at the huge propulsion device and nozzle in the projection, and his eyes gleamed with an unusual light.
If this experiment succeeds
Human civilization has officially crossed the threshold between Type III and Type IV civilizations, shedding the title of a low-level civilization!
The antimatter engine uses anti-hydrogen atoms and hydrogen atoms as fuel.
Theoretically, when it starts working, antihydrogen atoms and hydrogen atoms will be injected into the reaction chamber under the influence of the magnetic field.
Then, under the precise control of the control system, these antihydrogen atoms will come into contact with hydrogen atoms and produce an annihilation reaction.
When antihydrogen atoms annihilate, in addition to producing high-energy gamma rays, they also produce some mesons.
Neutral mesons rapidly transform into high-energy gamma rays, while charged mesons possess a certain lifetime.
The normal half-life is 28 nanoseconds.
These mesons, carrying more than 60% of the annihilation energy, travel at near the speed of light.
Therefore, their half-life will be extended to 70 nanoseconds.
Although the time is extremely short, they can still travel a considerable distance thanks to their near-light-speed flight.
Under the confinement of the magnetic field, these charged mesons traveling at near the speed of light will be ejected directly from the nozzle of the antimatter engine!
This provides the starship equipped with the antimatter engine with immense thrust!
This is the propulsion principle of the antimatter engine.
It's very simple, but the benefits it brings are many times greater than those of Hall thrusters!
"The first antimatter engine propulsion test is now beginning."
Once all preparations were complete, Lü Yongchang calmly issued the order: "Prepare to inject antimatter."
...
Near Dawn.
A uniquely shaped spaceship rested silently in the cold, empty space of outer space.
The test starship was equipped with a small fusion reactor.
Its role is to provide the most basic energy supply for the starship before the antimatter engine is activated.
For example, magnetic field confinement devices, central control systems...
With Lü Yongchang's order, under Zero's control, a single antihydrogen atom was slowly injected into the reaction chamber through a magnetic field.
At the same time, an equal amount of hydrogen atoms also enter the reaction chamber at the other end.
The two came into contact rapidly under the influence of the magnetic field.
Annihilation has begun.
At this moment, the mass of matter and antimatter is transformed into energy.
A small portion of the energy is released as high-energy gamma rays, which are then converted and absorbed by the devices surrounding the reaction chamber to supply the starship.
Most of the energy is released in the form of mesons.
Within 70 nanoseconds, these charged mesons have not yet decayed.
Within those brief 70 nanoseconds, they were deflected by the magnetic field and spewed out from the nozzle of the antimatter engine!
At that moment, a blinding light appeared at the nozzle of the antimatter engine!
The next second.
Propelled by these near-light-speed mesons, the starship hurtled forward with extremely high acceleration!
...
Inside the laboratory.
"Test successful."
Zero's voice echoed in the laboratory.
After a brief silence, a burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers came from all directions!
Standing in front of the giant holographic projection, Lü Yongchang's mind was in turmoil the moment the experiment was successful!
