The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World

However, the prehistoric rune technology has been able to produce equipment that can produce large amounts of neutrinos for energy applications.

The neutrinos it emits are concentrated and fast, and can easily penetrate a planet.

And they are all neutrinos that are different from other sources. They only appear when supernova explosions occur. Although supernova explosions can be seen everywhere in the universe, within the Milky Way, especially near the solar system, they may actually occur within tens of thousands of years. Only discovered it once.

In reality, the largest known source of neutrinos is the sun.

Every moment, the super fusion reaction in the sun produces countless neutrinos.

These neutrinos travel at speeds close to the speed of light, along with the solar wind, blowing throughout the solar system and into more distant space.

Unlike the charged particles of the solar wind, they do not have any charge and are completely unaffected by magnetic fields.

Therefore, they are powerful and without any hindrance, penetrating all obstacles in front of them.

Mercury, Venus, Blue Star, all the planets are unable to resist their pace.

Although a large part of them will collide during the penetration process, resulting in line changes and neutrino oscillations, they will easily transform into another type of neutrino.

But most of them can pass through smoothly.

Because all existing substances are composed of atoms, it can be said that atoms are the cornerstone of the world.

Of course, this does not mean that atoms are indivisible. Plasma that has lost electrons in the plasma state and free electrons in metals are all components of atoms.

Modern science has confirmed that atoms are composed of a nucleus and electrons outside the nucleus.

Compared to the entire atom, the nucleus is a little less than the size of the sun and the solar system, which is one light-year in diameter.

In such a large range, there are only a few extremely tiny electrons orbiting in the middle, and the mass of neutrinos is only one millionth of that of electrons, or even less.

So this is also the basis for their ability to travel across the entire Blue Star.

For a long time, except for nuclear reactions, it has been difficult to produce neutrinos. Most of them have been observing solar neutrinos and cosmic neutrinos.

Fusion reactions will produce a large number of neutrinos. Every second, there are one quadrillion neutrinos that penetrate the human body without causing any impact.

Although the technology from Blue Star is not the focus of research at the Moon Palace Base, after all, even the application of nuclear fusion must be constructed using rune technology.

However, with the advancement of science and technology, the requirements for energy are getting higher and higher. Although the Moon Palace Base is not big, even if all the robots are included, there are only less than one billion members, but the energy it requires has already exceeded The whole planet.

Therefore, the miniaturization of nuclear fusion and the development of new energy sources have also been further put on the agenda.

The new energy source will naturally not be antimatter, because antimatter is extremely difficult to obtain in this positive universe.

Since the existence of antimatter was discovered, until now, humans have only been able to use colliders to produce a small amount of antimatter.

European laboratories claim they have produced about 50,000 antihydrogen atoms in batches.

The number of 50,000 antihydrogen atoms seems to be a lot, but the mass of a hydrogen atom is only 1.674 times 10 to the power of negative 27 kilograms. You can imagine how much they weigh.

And their existence time is only a few tenths of a microsecond, and then they react with hydrogen atoms in the environment and are annihilated.

The only commendable thing about European laboratories is that their entire preparation process is carried out in a low-energy environment, which provides the basis for the large-scale preparation of antihydrogen atoms in the future.

But this low-energy environment, compared to the astonishing power consumption of the large collider, actually uses more electricity to prepare antimatter with less energy.

And it is extremely difficult to preserve antimatter. It is usually stored in a strong magnetic field in a vacuum environment. If you accidentally expose it, it will cause a shocking explosion.

The explosive power of one gram of antimatter is actually only equivalent to a relatively powerful bomb. Only about 500 grams of antimatter can be comparable to a hydrogen bomb.

The only difference is probably that their reactions are relatively clean, without any residue, and even radiation does not exist.

In 1997, an American satellite monitoring gamma rays discovered a huge antimatter eruption source three thousand light-years above the Milky Way.

The ejected antimatter forms an antimatter fountain 2,940 light-years high.

This creates a paradox. Antimatter should be the best reactor material. Only a small amount of antimatter is needed to produce a large amount of energy.

But the energy consumed to create antimatter is more than dozens of times that of producing antimatter.

Of course, this is just like controllable nuclear fusion. The original experimental reactor also had input energy, which was much greater than the output energy. However, after so many years of progress, even without using the technology of the Moon Palace Base, Blue Star can build one on its own. It is relatively complete and can be commercialized.

Perhaps one day in the future, antimatter can be produced relatively cheaply, and that will be when antimatter reactors become popular.

Although nuclear fusion can barely support the needs of interstellar travel, the relatively large reactor and the relatively low reactor efficiency do not have any advantages in ultra-long-distance navigation.

Because the universe is much emptier than imagined, especially the edges of the Milky Way like the Orion Cantilever where the solar system is located.

The nearest star is 4.2 light-years away, and there is almost no place to replenish nuclear material on the way.

You must know that even in the Kuiper Belt, a seemingly endless place of asteroids, comets generally originate here.

Often no celestial objects can be seen within hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Not to mention that the scope of the solar system is only one light-year. Beyond the solar system, there are still several light-years away.

Apart from some cosmic dust and wandering planets, there is not much material to replenish at this distance.

Even within this range, the chance of seeing a rogue planet is approximately zero.

In fact, if time is not taken into account, interstellar travel can still be achieved even if it is equipped with the current nuclear fusion reactor.

Because there is a vacuum in the universe, the obstruction to the speed of the spacecraft is so small that it can be ignored.

But the greatest enemy of mankind is really time.

With the average human lifespan of less than a hundred years, it would take more than a thousand years to fly to Proxima Centauri, even at one-tenth the speed of light.

Twenty-five years or so is one generation, so this thousand years will be as long as forty generations.

You must know that it has only been less than two hundred years since mankind entered modern society, and that real spaceflight has only been less than ninety or one thousand years ago. Who knows how far mankind will develop. Maybe the spacecraft will be obsolete as soon as it leaves the solar system. .
