Section 1370 Antimatter Weapons(2/2)
If it weren't for the Li family, no one would listen to Xian's words. The two people inside were trying to persuade each other, but both of them were very stubborn. Of course, the generals outside wanted Li Er to be persuaded by Li Xian, but they
I know that the chance of this is very small. Even if Li Er is thinking about them, the board of directors of the group above does not deal with emotions.
"I know all the difficulties you mentioned, but you have also seen that the mainstream of the world now is peace. The entire world will not need war in the next few years. If we continue to maintain such a huge military force, we will eventually
The rest of Europe and Russia will all rush to the Americans. Although we are not afraid of them, do you know that if the three of them unite, we have to invest everything we have. Only in this way can we win.
Only 50%. We have a lot of advanced weapons, but the scientific research capabilities of the Americans are not in vain. According to the latest news from the Investigation Department, Americans can now create high-power laser weapons, which are very powerful.
, let me tell you this, in a head-on confrontation, a laser device can shoot down more than a dozen aircraft without being hurt. Although the defense is a little weaker, the Americans should not be stupid enough to let the laser device act alone.
." Li Er reluctantly took a sip of the whiskey in the glass. The spicy alcohol made his throat irritated. These words he said at this moment were also the top secrets of the group. If he was not familiar with Li Xian, he would not say it.
from.
"Look, you also said that Americans have reached the level of laser weapons. Although our laser weapons have been developed a long time ago, this also illustrates a problem. This problem is that American weapons will soon be
They have caught up with us. Although there is still a big gap between us and them, as time goes by, I think we will catch up sooner or later. Isn’t it suicide for us to disarm at this time?" Li Xianyi heard.
This news is incredible. It's no wonder that the senior generals are still thinking about how to torture those enemies. But suddenly they have the same weapons as you. Whoever tortures others seems to be not you.
It's up to people to decide. If you can't command well, you may have to let the other party kill you.
"Don't be so excited. We also have our trump card. In terms of scientific research capabilities, we can only win but not lose compared with them. You have to have confidence in our scientific research department. In fact, there is news that I have never dared to do.
Because it has not been confirmed yet, I will tell you something in advance. The group is currently studying an anti-matter ammunition." Li Er said in a low voice. Such top secrets cannot be said casually, but in order to convince Li Xian, this
It is also necessary.
This is not the first time Li Xian has heard of antimatter bombs, which are smaller than atomic bombs. It is said that just a few grams of antimatter can destroy the earth.
Inspired by the three "mysteries of the century" such as the Tunguska explosion, the scientific community began to conclude in 1986 that the three big explosions may be the role of antimatter. In 1997, scientists announced the discovery of the "Galactic Center Antimatter Fountain", which made scientists
The enthusiasm for searching for antimatter is rising again. In fact, antimatter is no different from ordinary matter. The difference is that the particles that make up antimatter have opposite charges to those that make up the well-known ordinary matter. As early as 1928, the famous physicist Dirac
Through mathematical calculations, a bold prediction was put forward: in the universe, there is a new type of particle. Except for being positively charged, this particle has all the same properties as electrons, that is, it is positively charged but has the same mass and lifespan.
Particles equal to electrons. In 1932, scientist Anderson verified Dirac's prediction. He discovered this particle while analyzing and studying cosmic rays. Its mass and charge are the same as electrons, but it is positively charged.
Antiparticles are called positrons, while electrons are negatively charged. In 1955, antiprotons and antineutrons were discovered one after another at the Proton Accelerator in Beckley, USA. In the 1960s, almost all antiparticles among elementary particles were discovered.
Physicists found a world of antimatter that was gradually 'excavated' by scientists like an archeology. In January 1996, scientists at the European Particle Center used a particle collider to collide high-speed xenon atoms with antiprotons.
Nine antihydrogen atoms were obtained. Although these antihydrogen atoms dispersed into antiprotons and antielectrons after three billionths of a second, it marked that humans have been able to create antimatter. The atomic nucleus of antimatter is composed of antiprotons and antielectrons.
A 'negative core' composed of particles surrounded by positrons. Matter composed of antiparticles is called antimatter. Many physicists believe that antiparticles are obtained by "mirror inversion" of the internal structure of the original particles. Just like, when you
When you look in the mirror, if the you in the mirror really exists and appears in front of you, then the you in the mirror is called the "anti-you". Many antimatter researchers also speculate that at the beginning of the world, matter and antimatter
They separated and formed two universes, one is called the "universe" and the other is the "anti-universe". They repel each other and move away from each other at a very high speed. Antimatter is the opposite of ordinary matter, and ordinary matter is
It constitutes the main part of the universe. Once antimatter comes into contact with the 'positive matter' of our world, it will explode in an instant. Matter and antimatter turn into photons or mesons, releasing huge energy and causing the phenomenon of 'annihilation'. As far as human beings know so far,
Antimatter may be the most powerful energy source and explosive matter in the world. According to the famous mass-energy conversion formula e=mc2 in Einstein's theory of relativity, a trace amount of antimatter can produce astonishingly huge energy. It can be 100% efficient in the form of radiation
Releases energy, and the efficiency of dinuclear fission is 1.5%. The Rand Corporation of the United States pointed out in an antimatter experiment report that when 1 gram of antimatter and 1 gram of matter collide and annihilate each other, the energy released is 5x107 kilowatts/
hours, which is about 6 megawatts per year. However, antimatter is extremely unstable and can turn anything it comes into contact into ashes, including air.
At present, a small amount of antimatter can be produced in any large particle accelerator in the world, but it is impossible to produce enough antimatter on a large scale and cheaply. On March 24, 2004, the "Advanced Concepts Seminar" held at NASA
At the meeting, the Americans released data showing that it would cost nearly $6 billion to produce one hundred billionth of a gram of antimatter. However, according to a report in Nature magazine on October 18, 2018, military scientists from the energy group invented
A new method of producing antimatter has reduced the cost of producing one millionth of a gram of antimatter from US$1 billion to US$100 million. However, this news has not been confirmed. In addition, relevant European research centers are already developing a
The new antimatter reducer is an advanced antimatter production equipment. This equipment is expected to greatly increase the antimatter production capacity.
Scientists believe that antimatter has great military application prospects. Currently, antimatter is considered by various military experts to have the following four military uses: First, it is used as propulsion fuel for ultra-high-speed rockets, such as the fuel of light-speed rockets;
It is used as an ultra-small, ultra-light energy generator for military stations in space orbit and other fields; third, it is used as a "nuclear trigger" to start fusion bombs; fourth, it is used as an energy-gathering beam weapon, such as an anti-matter bomb that can be adjusted at will.
It can be said that the Western nuclear powers headed by the United States are very interested in anti-matter weapons using anti-matter as ammunition. However, the speed of their research has long been surpassed by people from energy groups. As early as 1983, the American RAND Corporation spent 2 million
US dollars conducted a feasibility study for the U.S. Air Force on the production and use of 10 trillion antiprotons/second and a feasibility study on using this technology to create a "proton bomb."
In 2000, the U.S. Air Force established a "revolutionary ammunition" research and development team headed by Edwards, known as the "Father of American Anti-Material Weapons", and began to specialize in the research of anti-material weapons. From the perspective of Western nuclear weapons classification standards,
Anti-matter weapons belong to the fourth generation of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are regarded as "conventional weapons" and can be used in conventional wars or local wars. The biggest feature of anti-matter weapons is that they have extremely high energy density and are easy to ignite. They do not require criticality like the fission reaction of atomic bombs.
It cannot reduce its volume due to its mass, nor does it require an extremely high ignition temperature like the hydrogen bomb fusion reaction and must be detonated by an atomic bomb.
Secondly, unlike nuclear bombs, anti-matter bombs have the explosive power of hydrogen bombs, but they only produce electromagnetic waves when they explode, and do not produce nuclear radiation. They will not cause huge radiation damage to organisms and plants, or cause humanitarian disasters. They are a "clean bomb".
"Hydrogen bomb". According to scientists' estimates, the energy released after the annihilation (explosion) of one millionth of a gram of antiprotons with protons is equivalent to 37.8 kilograms of tnt**. One gram of antimatter is equivalent to twenty thousand tons of
Nuclear bomb yield - equivalent to the energy of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The energy released by a few micrograms of antimatter can be used as a trigger for thermonuclear reactions, or can stimulate strong x-ray bursts or gamma-ray lasers. If
An antiproton and a proton annihilate each other, and the energy released is about 10 times the energy released when a uranium nucleus fission; if the secondary effects caused by the annihilation reaction in matter are considered, then this reaction will release
Produce more energy.
It is reported that the U.S. Pentagon held a computer simulation exercise code-named "Antimatter Offensive-2008" in September 2008. The live action of the exercise is as follows: In 201x, a U.S. soldier sneaked into the capital of country C with an antimatter time bomb.
The public toilet adjacent to the General Staff Building of Country C was installed and then evacuated calmly. After the military operation began, the anti-matter time bomb exploded, and the General Staff Building and ancillary facilities of Country C were reduced to ashes. The anti-matter bomb carried by this soldier
Only one fifty-millionth of a gram! Subsequently, an anti-matter pulse bomb detonated over the power and communication network of country C. In an instant, the country’s military and social activities were completely paralyzed... After the exercise, the Pentagon generals exclaimed:
"An antimatter bomb weighing just a few grams can destroy the earth!" However, George Dyson, a historian and scientist at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, pointed out that "clean" antimatter weapons are far more terrifying than "dirty" nuclear weapons.
Because it is more likely to be put into actual combat. If the United States develops anti-material weapons, then the US military will be more careless on the battlefield - since it has no nuclear residue, the US military may classify it as a conventional weapon."
It's just that if Li Cong hadn't appeared, the Americans might have been the first to research the anti-matter bomb. But now the result has changed. The energy group has refined it, but there are still many dissatisfactions, so this thing has not been announced yet.
, have been testing. Although antimatter bombs theoretically have huge annihilation and destruction capabilities, there are still some insurmountable challenges in technology. First of all, how to produce enough antimatter cheaply is still a problem.
A big challenge. Secondly, there are technical difficulties in storing antimatter. How to store enough antimatter in a small space, such as putting them in bottles, rather than storing them in a strong electromagnetic field. In fact, antimatter is not as described by some scientists
The power is boundless, because in terms of academic research on antimatter, there are still six major issues that need further in-depth study and substantial breakthroughs. The six issues are as follows: First, the nature of energy exchange between electricity and magnetism is still unknown.
This view holds that the artificial acquisition of antimatter and its applications are untenable. Secondly, positive matter cannot bind antimatter. This view holds that the antimatter currently obtained is not antimatter in the true sense. Thirdly, artificial magnetic fields
It is difficult to restrain antimatter. This view holds that antimatter is prone to risks when restrained under a strong artificial electromagnetic field. Fourth, antimatter is individually irreversible. This view holds that when the life of the reserve equipment expires and there is no chance of use, the antimatter bomb will
The final annihilation will definitely harm the reservers. Fifth, antimatter cannot be produced with positive matter. This view holds that it is impossible to find antimatter in a positive matter environment. Sixth, the annihilation mechanism is unknown. The
The view is that during the annihilation process of matter and antimatter, there is no essential understanding of the annihilation mechanism of matter and antimatter.
"You said we have been studying this thing, but why haven't I seen any explosions happening anywhere in the world? This thing is different from ordinary bombs, right?" Li Xian is not a fool.
Suddenly this question came to mind, and I guess Li Er was just talking nonsense to convince himself.
"Haha, cousin, if this thing is tested on the earth, do you think the whole world will panic immediately? The situation when nuclear weapons were released was very powerful, and it is the same now. Don't forget, the group spent how many years
Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent to build a base on Mars. What is it used for? There is no need to immigrate there now. It can be used as a testing ground for this thing. I believe we will research this thing in the near future.
By then we will be able to station a small number of troops, so some of the guard troops should be disbanded this time. However, the group has not treated us badly. I will select the best among the more than one million people to be disbanded.
An elite 100,000 people will form the largest special forces in history, and the investment in each person will be the largest in history." Li Er threw out the bait at the right time. He knew that although Li Xian was the deputy minister of the military,
But many times this guy believes in special operations.
A hundred thousand special forces? It makes people feel passionate when they stand up, but Li Xian is not an easy boss. Those troops of one hundred thousand that have been abolished are not so easy to place. Suddenly this guy thought of
I came up with a good idea, let them become police officers, just like Uncle Sam's National Guard, just change the name. Such a thing should be no problem. Looking at Li Xian's look, of course Li Er knew this guy
There must be other thoughts, thoughts that embarrass myself, otherwise the smile on this guy's face wouldn't be so weird.
