Chapter 1147 Ming Xiu Plank Road!

After sending Jiang Hongwei away, Lin Dong did not leave the laboratory, but walked to the computer and carefully watched the analysis data of the meteorite.

"At present, we have basically determined the coordinates of the meteorite parent body in the asteroid belt." A technician took the initiative to introduce: "If necessary, with our current aerospace aircraft technology, we should be able to reach the asteroid within one and a half months." with target area."

Lin Dong is clear about this.He has received a report from the lab.In fact, Lin Dong showed more concern about this meteorite, not really because of this meteorite.

The memory metal can be extracted from this meteorite. The memory metal is important, but it is not so important that Lin Dong goes to the asteroid belt to build a space base.

What really moved Lin Dong was that there was an energy asteroid near the asteroid parent body!

Yes, that's right!It's an energy asteroid!

It is completely different from the inherent crystal energy of currently known petrochemical energy and nuclear energy!
Lin Dong told An Ziwen that his dream now is to travel among the stars and the sea.

With the current energy technology mastered by human beings, ordinary energy technology, calculated in terms of human lifespan, it is very rare to be able to fly out of the edge of the solar system.

At present, except for the Changying Group, if the nuclear technology mastered by other countries or groups, especially nuclear fusion technology, can be applied to interstellar navigation in the next few decades, at most it will be spinning around in the Milky Way. Time travel is not enough.

Scientists now imagine that if they want to truly travel between stars, the most likely energy technology to use is antimatter energy—the energy produced when positive and negative particles meet and annihilate is much higher than the energy produced by nuclear fusion.

In 1932, American scientist Anderson discovered a special particle.Compared with the previously discovered electron, it has exactly the same mass and charge, but it is positively charged, while the electron is negatively charged.Hence, this is called a positron.Positrons are the antiparticles of electrons.The discovery of positrons has undoubtedly triggered a new journey of exploration for scientists, and in this regard, a world of antimatter is gradually presented to people like an underground palace that has been sleeping for thousands of years: In 1955, antiprotons were discovered in a laboratory in the United States. was discovered, and then antineutrons were discovered.By the 60s, almost all antiparticles among elementary particles had been found.

The discovery of antiparticles proves that antimatter energy is theoretically feasible as energy for interstellar travel.

The American research antimatter spacecraft uses positrons as fuel, and can reach Mars in 6 weeks. Using positrons as fuel only needs tens of milligrams, but the speed is twice as fast as that of nuclear-powered spacecraft.

In 1979, American scientists put a huge balloon with a height of 60 floors at an altitude of 35 kilometers above the ground. The balloon carried a group of very sensitive detection instruments. As a result, it hunted 28 antiprotons at high altitude.This is the first antimatter discovered outside of Earth.In addition, antimatter flows have been found in interstellar space.

The world's largest scientific research institution, Switzerland's CERN, has recently successfully produced a few drops of antimatter for the first time.Antimatter is just like ordinary matter, except that the particles that make it up have the opposite charge from the particles that make up what we know as normal matter.

Antimatter is the most powerful energy source known to man.It can release energy with 2% efficiency (x[-] times of course).The efficiency of nuclear fission is [-]%.Antimatter does not cause pollution and does not produce radiation. A small drop of antimatter can supply the kinetic energy of the entire New York City throughout the day.

Don't be too optimistic, there may be a hidden crisis...

Antimatter is so unstable that it can reduce everything it touches to ashes, even air.Just one gram of antimatter is equivalent to the energy of a nuclear weapon with a yield of more than 4000 million tons—more than 2000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

The current research on antimatter is just like the beginning of research on nuclear fission and fusion.Controllable technology has yet to be found—or even antimatter in sufficient quantities.

You know, a bomb made of a few grams of antimatter can destroy the entire earth!

This is not the kind of destruction of the world like the third world war that people study legends-it is just the destruction of human beings, and the earth still exists.Antimatter is different, if it is really not well controlled, then the whole earth will be over!
Lin Dong knew about antimatter, and he never put his hopes on antimatter—the encyclopedia in his mind was limited, and without corresponding guidance, future technologies would not appear in his mind out of thin air.So Lin Dong doesn't know what will happen to the antimatter energy utilization technology he will study later.But he already knew through this meteorite that the asteroid has a large amount of stable crystal energy, which is completely usable, non-polluting, and non-dangerous. It only needs to change the structure of the engine, and Lin Dong knows that the asteroid has a large amount of stable energy. It contains a large amount of this kind of energy spar. In the future, when we go out of the solar system, we can find more similar energy crystals.

This is definitely an epoch-making revolutionary discovery!
However, Lin Dong is currently unable to announce the news, and even he himself is not sure whether the news in his mind is true.

Let Jiang Hongwei take out the memory metal news, this is what Lin Dong has long thought.For some things, it is much better for the country to come forward than Lin Dong's Changying Group to promote it by itself.Although the Changying Group is now strong enough, its roots are still on the earth. In terms of energy, it has long been able to ignore any country or group, but that is only an idealization.

After getting a few more sets of information, Lin Dong told the technicians to continue monitoring the data, and then walked out of the laboratory.

When he arrived at the office, Lin Dong directly called Tan Judong.

"Old Tan, how many aerospace planes have been manufactured now?"

"It's already Donghuang No. 16." After Xu Xiaofeng arrived at the space station, Tan Judong was tasked with manufacturing and managing the aerospace aircraft. Fortunately, the mechanical octopus can be manufactured modularly according to the established procedures, and Tan Judong does not need to do more In his words, he just needs to count the numbers regularly.

"Currently, there are seven planes parked by Tengjiao Group." Tan Judong said, "There is no need for too much space. These seven planes are waiting for your order!"

There are seven, Lin Dong thought about it, enough!
"After a while, I will send you a purchase order, and you will ask your purchasing department to immediately purchase a batch of materials according to this order, sort them and put them in the aerospace plane after I pass by. I will be useful!"

After Lin Dong hung up the phone, he immediately began to draw up a material list.

These materials will be the basic materials of the space base, and they will play a huge role in the near future!
