The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 331 Discovery of Antimatter

When Jiang Yu's fleet was logging in, they saw a huge monster not far from Pluto in the dim light. It was Charon, Pluto's satellite.

Charon is so large for its planet-to-moon ratio that its diameter is nearly half that of Pluto.

Even in such a dim environment, it is impossible to ignore its existence.

The newly built base on Pluto is very simple, and the residents here are only more than 1000 soldiers.

This base is more like demonstrating the existence of the solar system country and the determination to develop the outer planets of the solar system.

At the same time, the first "Blind Zone No. 2" will be built at this base. This is an upgraded version of "Blind Zone No. 1", with an area as large as a football field, and without the need to wear protective clothing.

The energy consumption is a bit large, and a small nuclear power plant was specially built for this system.

Jiang Yu visited the construction site, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye than the narrow "Blind Spot No. 1".

There are two "Blind Zone No. 2", one is built here, and the other is a science and technology city built in the Jupiter civilization circle.

Ai Qi smiled and said: "Such a large area is enough to transfer some departments to work here."

Especially those departments that need to keep secret.

But Jiang Yu said: "It's still not big enough. When can the entire base be covered, it will be worthy of the solar system country's investment in this technology."

Now the solar system country's investment in this project has far exceeded the total investment in the construction of the Saturn civilization circle.

And now the cost of "Blind Zone No. 2" is almost the same as a medium-sized space city, so Jiang Yu is not willing to build more even now that the finances are relatively ample.

The area of ​​the base itself is not large. Jiang Yu probably walked around, delivered a speech to boost morale, and then set off on the return journey.

Before leaving, Jiang Yu told Ai Qi last by the gangway of the shuttle: "Although your task is arduous, in the future, the entire solar system country will be your backing!"

Ai Qi smiled and said: "I know, I will definitely live up to expectations!"

As Jiang Yu's plan to build the solar system country's armed forces advances step by step, Ai Qi has already felt Jiang Yu's determination and the prospects of this armed force in the future.

Maybe it really has the power to fight against the Trisolarans.

It will take Jiang Yu a year and a half to return to Jupiter, which makes him hope to further increase the speed of the spacecraft, so he decided to invest more in the nuclear engine research unit during the return journey.

Although the maximum speed of the nuclear engine can only reach 15% of the speed of light, it can shorten the acceleration and deceleration process, that is to say, make the nuclear engine more explosive!
This research has been going on, but the results are very disappointing, and there are not many breakthroughs so far.

But technology is like this. Before there is a breakthrough, no one knows how much it will cost.

As long as a breakthrough can be made for a nationally important weapon like a nuclear engine, no matter how much money is spent, it is worthwhile.

During the long return journey, Jiang Yu's sequelae reappeared, this time he passed out from the pain, and the out-of-control tissue was removed through surgery, and finally "resurrected".

It took Jiang Yu more than half a month to recover from the onset of sequelae.

During this period, he got good news that He Shanqi discovered dark matter with the circum-Jupiter particle collider!

When the country in the solar system made a breakthrough in the application of antimatter before, it caused a great sensation in the human world, which means that basic physics has opened a new chapter.

Just like the discovery of nuclear energy for the first time, it will lead a series of theoretical and technological changes in the future.

The dark matter discovered this time has caused a greater sensation in the human world than antimatter.

Because everyone still has some feasible ideas about the use of antimatter, but everyone only has a very general concept of how to use dark matter.

The PDC immediately asked the Trisolarans to publish their technology and theories about dark matter, and the Trisolarans did publish a batch, but no one could understand it, because there is a huge theoretical gap between the existing human technology and the use of dark matter.

The trisolarans suggested that PDC should proceed step by step, because some things are known too early, which will make the human theoretical system confused.

At the same time, it is also suggested that the countries of the solar system should thoroughly study antimatter first, and then study dark matter.

However, the National Academy of Sciences of the Solar System believes that these two substances should be studied in parallel, which saves time and effort.

When the entire Science City of the Solar System Country was jubilant, He Shanqi couldn't be happy, because he was looking for curvature, and even if he discovered dark matter, there was no way to make him happy.

On this point, Jiang Yu can only give He Shanqi a direction, and there is really no way to give him more help.

Jiang Yu and his party returned to the Jupiter civilization circle and went straight to the Science City. Jiang Yu met He Shanqi's group and gave them generous rewards.

In any case, this discovery is very important, and no amount of praise can be overstated.

After the meeting with everyone, Jiang Yu took He Shanqi to the "Blind Zone 2.2" which had just started operation.

The huge space has been divided into three floors by the steel floor, and each floor is only about three meters high. For modern people who are generally around two meters tall, this height is somewhat depressing.

But there is no way, we must make the best use of every minute of space.

Many construction robots are busy inside, doing simple decoration for the three-story space.

He Shanqi introduced: "In the future, this will be our confidential office, and all discussions and calculations about the light speed spacecraft will be carried out here.

"And according to your request, research on antimatter and dark matter will be carried out here, and this place will soon become crowded!"

Jiang Yu nodded: "Our cutting-edge research will start to be kept secret from the Trisolarans."

He Shanqi was a little puzzled and said: "Is this necessary?"

"It's very necessary!" Jiang Yu said: "It's not that the Trisolarans will value our research results, but after we start keeping them secret, they can only guess where we have come.

"This point is very critical, what level of technology the Trisolarans have reached is almost entirely guesswork.

"They will have to guess what level we will reach in the future. We have reached a preliminary balance strategically."

He Shanqi nodded, did not continue this topic, but said a little frustrated: "It seems that there is still a long way to go before finding the curvature!"

"Don't worry." Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Didn't you say it took 30 years to find the curvature? It's only been a few years."

"What if it's not found after 30 years?"

"Then I'll find someone else." Jiang Yu stopped, looked at He Shanqi and said.

"It seems that the curvature really exists." He Shanqi said helplessly: "Otherwise you wouldn't be so firm."

Jiang Yu smiled: "Tell me about the uses of dark matter and antimatter."

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.
