The method used by scientists to extract antimatter is to use a particle collider to accelerate a large number of high-energy particles and then collide, thereby obtaining an extremely small amount of antimatter.
The data that Fang Xiaoyue has found so far shows that the antimatter collected by the scientific community on the entire planet does not exceed 1 microgram.
There is no way, the method of producing antimatter is too inefficient, and the efficiency of collecting antimatter is also low.
But Fang Xiaoyue plans to use the resources on and around the gas planet to build a large number of nuclear fusion reactors and a super space particle collider.
Nuclear fusion reactors provide energy for the Super Space Particle Collider, which produces and collects antimatter.
Of course, if you want to achieve this, all countries cannot do it together.
Only Fang Xiaoyue can do it.
After Fang Xiaoyue's command passed through the electromagnetic wave signal and traveled a long distance in space, it arrived near the gas star. Then the engineering robots on several satellites and even the mining ship near the gas star immediately changed the direction of work.
A large amount of materials previously stored underground on satellites were sent to factories, smelted and made into parts, and then sent into space to be assembled by massive engineering robots.
As time went by, the prototype of the Super Space Particle Collider began to emerge bit by bit.
The entire Super Space Particle Collider is 100,000 kilometers long and divided into 50,000 sections.
It will be built with 10,000 nuclear fusion reactors to provide energy.
Just so many nuclear fusion reactors are enough for any country to consume all its resources!
But here, there are dozens of gas star satellites that continuously provide resources. Let alone building 10,000 nuclear fusion reactors, even 100,000 or 1 million will not be a big problem.
Of course, the key is that this place is close to a gas star, and there is no shortage of fuel for the nuclear fusion reactor.
As a matter of fact, the entire process of building the Super Space Particle Collider is under the control of AI intelligence, so it is very smooth.
But the problem is that when the super space particle collider is built to a length of 3,000 kilometers, its shape will be difficult to hide against the background of the huge body of the gas star.
It may seem a bit unbelievable to say that the person who first discovered this super space particle collider was just an astronomer enthusiast.
It was 11pm local time.
This time is the best time to observe astronomy, because at this time, not only the children are asleep, but also the wife.
As a middle-aged astronomy enthusiast, Mananem's hobby is not welcomed by his wife.
Therefore, he had to wait until the whole family fell asleep, then he took out an astronomical telescope he bought online from Xuan Yanguo, set it up in the yard, and observed the starry sky he liked to his heart's content.
It has to be said that the quality of the astronomical telescopes produced in Xuanyan is excellent.
Even an entry-level astronomical telescope can still see distant gas stars!
Wait! What is that?
Mananem suddenly saw a long strip-like thing on the astronomical telescope that passed over the surface of the gas star.
However, at such a long distance, the astronomical telescope will not be able to find the picture it saw before even if it vibrates slightly.
After being busy for a while, Mananem finally refocused the telescope on the distant gas star.
But this time, he finally saw the long thing.
Although the resolution of the astronomical telescope could not clearly see what that thing was, he could still judge based on his rich experience in astronomical observation that this long strip-shaped thing was not a natural star, but a man-made object!
Could it be a gas star observer launched by a certain country?
Mananem quickly dismissed the speculation.
After all, although that long thing looks small compared to a gas star, the fact that it can show its shape on a gas star shows that it is quite big.
Of course, no matter what, Mananem quickly called an astronomer he knew.
The astronomer who had fallen asleep was naturally not happy about Mananem's call, but after hearing the content of Mananem's call, his mind suddenly became clear.
Although he didn't quite believe what Mananem said, if it was true, it would probably be a major discovery in the history of astronomical observation in this century!
Because astronomers have clear memories of space artifacts launched by human civilization.
Although some company from Xuanyan Country built a huge space station in orbit, there must be no man-made objects near the gas planet!
The earliest detectors launched by mankind were almost drifting out of the star system at this time, and it was impossible to appear near gas stars.
Therefore, the man-made objects observed by Mananem are probably something built by aliens.
I will witness the arrival of aliens!
The astronomer was not sleepy at all at this time, but drove his car straight to the local observatory.
Because only there are astronomical telescopes that can truly observe the surface of gas stars!
That kind of astronomical telescope is not an entry-level gadget like Mananem, but a big thing with a length of more than fifteen meters and a mirror diameter of more than five meters!
Although this kind of astronomical telescope is already very backward in the world and is far inferior to radio telescopes or sky-eye telescopes, it can instantly kill those astronomical telescopes purchased online.
After all, the bulk is there.
The larger the diameter of an astronomical telescope, the more light it can collect and the clearer it can be seen.
Therefore, although this thing is lagging behind a bit, looking at the situation around Qi Star, there is still no problem.
When the astronomer arrived at the observatory, he immediately went to the astronomical telescope. After some operations, he locked on the gas star.
When he looked at the gas stars through the astronomical telescope, he saw the super particle collider suspended in space.
Like Mananem, he immediately judged that it was a man-made artifact.
And this astronomical telescope can see very clearly.
The astronomer excitedly took the photo and posted it on the International Astronomical Network.
International Astronomy Network is a website for astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts to communicate, discuss and release information.
After all, astronomical research does not just rely on astronomers.
It also requires the joint efforts of the majority of astronomy enthusiasts.
After all, many astronomical discoveries in history were actually the contributions of astronomy enthusiasts.
After all, the universe is too big. Even if astronomers lie in front of astronomical telescopes 24 hours a day without rest, it is impossible to collect all the information in the universe.
Even at night, there are still a large number of astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts communicating or reading information on the International Astronomical Network.
Therefore, the photos and related information released by this astronomer were quickly discovered and then went viral.
Someone soon replied under the post: Thank you for sharing. I went to see it. There is indeed an artificial object in Qixing.
Someone else replied: I roughly calculated that the length of this man-made object should be more than 100 kilometers!
There is no doubt that when this reply appeared, the popularity of this post suddenly increased, and even the administrators of the International Astronomy Network pinned this post to the top.
This is the kind of treatment one can only get if he makes a major discovery in astronomy.
Often, the discoverer of such a pinned post will eventually win an international astronomy award.
Of course, what everyone is really concerned about now is what happened to that artificial object?
How could an artificial object with a length of more than 100 kilometers appear on a gas planet!
In fact, the news quickly broke out.
After all, many astronomy enthusiasts are also self-media writers, and they were keenly aware at the first time that this was definitely a hot spot.
So they quickly produced relevant videos and published them on major video platforms.
Although most of the astronomy enthusiasts do not have many fans, there are still a few who have millions of fans.
And their videos were quickly reposted and shared by fans who were equally smart.
Therefore, in less than a day, the news of the appearance of man-made objects 100 kilometers away from the gas star spread throughout the world.
Official observatories of various countries and even countless astronomical enthusiasts pointed their astronomical telescopes at the gas stars, and then they all saw the man-made object.
Suddenly, world public opinion was in an uproar.
Some say they are aliens, some say they are relics of prehistoric civilization, and some say they are God's miracles on the air stars, etc.
Anyway, there are all kinds of opinions, which makes people dazzled.
For a time, all major newspapers and major media platforms rushed to report on this incident.
There are even many TV stations that invite some astronomers to launch a program to conduct various discussions on the man-made artifacts of gas stars.
In short, by this time, even the aunt who buys groceries knows that something 100 kilometers long has appeared on some gas star.
When Fang Xiaoyue noticed this, she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Even Professor Huang and others mentioned this matter when they had a meeting with him.
Fang Xiaoyue also had to explain.
After all, this kind of thing seems to be far away in the air planet, but in fact, all countries can understand the truth of the matter as long as they observe it for a little longer.
It is impossible for Fang Xiaoyue to stop extracting resources from the gas planet and transporting them to the space station in order to cover up this matter.
But when Professor Huang and others heard about this, they were all dumbfounded.
They think what they are doing now is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
But what Fang Xiaoyue did was beyond their imagination.
They still know something about the fact that Xiaoxiao Intelligent Equipment Company built a space elevator and space station.
Otherwise, it would not have been so smooth when Fang Xiaoyue brought them into the company.
After all, a company that has developed many smart devices and owns space elevators and space stations must attach great importance to research.
But building a super-large-scale space particle collider on a gas star is really shocking to everyone's world view.
This is like one of your colleagues suddenly saying that he wants to open a hole in the Himalayas to let water vapor from the Indian Ocean come in and create a plateau in the south of the Yangtze River.
You'd think he was crazy.
Professor Huang then took the opportunity to make a request, which was to open a laboratory on the space station.
After all, some research on nanorobots is more convenient under gravity-free and vacuum conditions.
Fang Xiaoyue agreed to this request without hesitation.
After all, there are already large areas of empty laboratories on the space station.
In fact, just a few months ago, major powers were reluctant to rent several laboratories on the space station to conduct space research.
No way, research on Fang Xiaoyue's space station and research on his own space station are completely different things.
It is expensive and laborious to carry out research on various experimental materials and scientific researchers on our own space station.
As for Fang Xiaoyue's space station, accessing it via a space elevator is extremely cheap, and you can also borrow the other party's robot assistant.
Moreover, the laboratories in the space station are extremely well built, with various equipment that even some powerful countries have not yet developed.
These laboratories were originally used by Fang Xiaoyue before, but he has basically never been there now, so they have been left idle.
Even if a few laboratories are loaned out, the remaining laboratories are enough for several scientific research teams.
Professor Huang and others happily packed their things and prepared to go to Dominion and take the space elevator to the space station.
Fang Xiaoyue's current focus is mainly on the Super Space Particle Collider.
After all, its construction is not that simple.
In addition to being equipped with a large number of nuclear fusion reactors, antimatter collectors must also be arranged within them.
Although there is a vacuum inside, it ensures that the antimatter will not be hit by positive matter and annihilated at the moment it is born.
But the antimatter that was born will still fly around in the form of particles. If you are not careful, this particle collider will be riddled with holes.
You know, the energy level released when antimatter is annihilated is too great.
Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion can release massive amounts of energy.
During nuclear fission, 1% of the mass is lost.
During nuclear fusion, about 7% of the mass will be lost, so the energy released by nuclear fusion is greater.
Annihilation between antimatter and positive matter results in the loss of all mass to release energy, so the energy released is hundreds of times greater than that of nuclear fusion.
In fact, the energy released by nuclear fusion is itself the energy released by the annihilation of antimatter and positive matter.
Because when two protons (hydrogen nuclei) fuse, one of the protons will release a positron and a neutrino, thus becoming a neutron.
When the positron meets the negative electron, it will annihilate, thereby releasing energy.
It's just that it's basically impossible to extract antimatter in a nuclear fusion reaction.
Unless Fang Xiaoyue is willing to act as an antimatter extractor, there is nothing that can be done under the current conditions.
For now, the best way to collect antimatter is to use force fields to collect it.
Because antimatter will be annihilated when it encounters any positive matter, only a force field without matter can come into contact with antimatter.
Fang Xiaoyue's understanding of force fields is relatively in-depth.
Force fields include gravitational fields, electric fields, magnetic fields, etc.
