Chapter 506: Bold Conjecture

Under the control of the magnetic field, the antiprotons and antielectrons entered the predetermined "fusion chamber".

It is a tubular cavity with a high-purity vacuum inside.

In the cavity, the antiprotons and antielectrons gradually approached each other under the action of the magnetic field, collided, and fused with each other.

Soon, an antihydrogen atom composed of an antiproton and an antielectron also appeared.

In the Shuguang Star Laboratory thousands of miles away, a reminder sounded.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

"Antihydrogen atoms are detected!"

Lu Yongchang showed a trace of excitement on his face. He waved his fist vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Start the particle trap to capture and constrain the antihydrogen atoms!"

The moment the voice fell, an extremely powerful magnetic field quickly appeared in the "fusion chamber".

Under the control of Zero, the surrounding superconducting magnets formed an extremely complex magnetic cage in the tubular cavity.

It interacts with the atomic magnetic moment of the antihydrogen atom and indirectly binds it in the [particle trap].

As time goes by, the number of antihydrogen atoms captured in the [particle trap] increases rapidly.

Gradually, the weight of the antihydrogen atoms in the [particle trap] has reached 1 microgram.

In the simulation image given by Zero, these antihydrogen atoms combine with each other and eventually form an extremely thin antihydrogen cloud in the [particle trap]!

Although the weight of this antihydrogen cloud is only 1 microgram.

But it is already the largest amount of antimatter ever produced in human history!

At the moment the antihydrogen cloud was born, a large amount of observation data was transmitted from various observation facilities.

Even Lv Yongchang could only get a little insignificant information from the dazzling data.

Therefore, for the scientists of the First Laboratory of the Human Union, the real battle has just begun.

They need to analyze a large amount of data to analyze the antimatter at the true macroscopic level.

Although there are anti-electrons and anti-protons in cosmic rays, antimatter at the macroscopic level still only exists in particle accelerators.

According to the definition of matter and antimatter, the two should be in an equal relationship.

In other words, the total amount of matter and antimatter should be equal.

If the two annihilate each other, the entire universe should be a pot of rich "energy soup".

But so far, the universe discovered by humans is composed of matter.

This means that there must be some factors between matter and antimatter, resulting in an imbalance between the two.

Therefore, the universe eventually developed into its current state - everything is composed of matter, antimatter only occupies a small part, and will be annihilated and disappear in a very short time.

Lv Yongchang hopes to find out the reason from antihydrogen, which will also be of great help to humans in controlling antimatter in the future.

...

Late at night.

The lights in the first laboratory of the Human Union are still bright.

Everyone is excited to analyze the data generated by the observation device.

With the help of Zero, the efficiency of data analysis has been greatly increased.

But even so, this observation data that fills up an unknown amount of hard disk space cannot be analyzed in a short time.

Like other researchers, Tao Yuda methodically processed the various data in front of him.

Suddenly, his brows frowned slightly.

An incredible idea came to his mind.

He put down his work without hesitation, stood up and walked towards Lv Yongchang.

…

"Professor."

Tao Yuda slowed down his pace, came to Lv Yongchang who was busy processing data, and shouted in a low voice.

Lv Yongchang paused when he heard the voice.

The next moment, he raised his head and glanced in the direction of the voice.

After seeing Tao Yuda, he put down his work, raised his hand to rub his sore eyes, and asked in a gentle tone: "Tao Yuda? Have you found anything new?"

Tao Yuda hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice again: "Professor, there is no major discovery, but..."

"I have an idea."

"Hmm? Idea?" Lv Yongchang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Tell me."

A hint of entanglement flashed across Tao Yuda's face, as if he also felt that his idea was a bit shocking.

"Professor, I want to try to turn off the [Particle Trap]."

Hearing this, Lv Yongchang's eyes suddenly widened.

"Turn off the particle trap?"

"What do you want to do?!"

No wonder Lu Yongchang was so surprised.

Once the particle trap is turned off, the antihydrogen cloud trapped in it will spread rapidly and then contact the tube wall of the particle accelerator.

Then, there will be an annihilation reaction.

Although the energy generated by the annihilation of one microgram of antihydrogen is not much.

But it is enough to open a big hole in the fragile particle accelerator.

"Ahem." Tao Yuda stretched out his hand and scratched his head, saying a little embarrassedly, "Professor, anti-electrons and anti-protons have opposite parts compared to normal protons and electrons."

"If these opposite factors accumulate and superimpose on the macroscopic level..."

"Will antimatter be given some unique properties?"

"For example..."

"Anti-gravity that has always existed in theory."

"Hiss..." Lv Yongchang took a breath and looked at Tao Yuda in front of him with an unbelievable look.

This...

Isn't it a bit too incredible?

Although research requires bold guesses and careful verification... But this guess is too bold, isn't it? !

Looking at Lv Yongchang's shocked eyes, Tao Yuda said anxiously.

"Professor, just turn off the [particle trap] for a short time."

"If you control the time well, it won't cause any harm."

"We just need to observe the direction of movement of these antihydrogens!"

Lv Yongchang didn't say anything, but frowned and looked at the holographic projection on the side.

In the projection, it was a simulated image of the antihydrogen cloud provided by Zero.

Tao Yuda, who hadn't received a response for a long time, looked slightly dim, lowered his head and whispered: "Professor, I know this guess is a bit exaggerated, but I still hope..."

"Give it a try." Lv Yongchang's gentle voice interrupted Tao Yuda's words.

"However, it is definitely not possible to directly close the [particle trap]."

"The temperature of these antihydrogens is very high, and they are too active now."

"We have to cool them down first."

Tao Yuda looked at Lu Yongchang in surprise as he analyzed seriously: "Professor, do you agree?"

"What?" Lu Yongchang turned his head and glanced at Tao Yuda, and said with a smile, "Just because it's exaggerated, won't you try it?"

"What if it really succeeds?"
