Chapter 43 Virtual Particle Pairs
So far, the energy source used by Xia Lian's era has been basically antimatter reactors.

Compared with the mass and energy conversion efficiency of the nuclear fusion reaction, which is only 0.7%, the mass-energy conversion efficiency of positive and antimatter annihilation is a perfect [-]%.

is an almost perfect energy source.

But so far, humans have not found any natural antimatter minerals in the universe, so this means that other methods need to be used to create antimatter.

This is very troublesome.

In the 21st century, humans have already produced antimatter in a laboratory environment, but the energy consumed to create it is far greater than the energy brought by its annihilation.

It was not until the advent of controlled nuclear fusion that humans could reluctantly create antimatter and provide some distant ships for warp travel to explore the unknown universe.

But later, people mastered the technology to create micro black holes, and it became easier to create antimatter.

As we all know, the vacuum in the universe is not actually a real vacuum. Although it has no oxygen, it is full of various particles that are hard to see with the naked eye, such as dark matter, photons emitted by stars, and so on.

And such a vacuum can be regarded as a cosmic ocean. There are tides in the ocean, and there are some fluctuations in the vacuum.

This kind of vacuum fluctuation will create virtual particle pairs composed of particles and antiparticles out of thin air in space. The particle pairs are generated by borrowing the energy of the universe, and then annihilate and return the energy in a short period of time.

The annihilation reaction of matter and antimatter that occurs all the time in a vacuum.

After you try to remove all matter from space, there will always be such fluctuations in it.

The reason why virtual particle pairs are named "virtual" is naturally because it is difficult for humans to observe and capture them, because their existence time is too short.

But black holes can.

There are positive and negative particles in a virtual particle pair, and you can think of them as a loving couple.

And the black hole, the yellow hair, will use its strong gravitational force to forcibly take away the woman, that is, the antimatter in the virtual particle pair, and throw the bitter master, the positive particle in the virtual particle pair, to infinity.

Next, the black hole will force Wu Tao Hongru, the antimatter, that is, the antimatter will annihilate with the positive matter inside the black hole, producing Hawking radiation, which will take away the mass of the black hole, that is, the black hole will evaporate.

A large part of the reason why black holes can form black holes is because of the gravitational force brought about by their huge mass.

When the mass is lost, the black hole will gradually die, so the black hole actually has a lifespan, and the NTR will die.

The more massive the black hole, the longer the lifespan. It takes about 10 years for a black hole with the same mass as the sun to evaporate 0.0000001% of its mass.

Humans use this mechanism to use black holes to disassemble pairs of virtual particles to create antimatter.

"Is there also vacuum fluctuations in imaginary space?" Xia Lian asked.

"This space is the other side of the universe, and it is also the universe in essence. As long as it is the universe, there must be vacuum fluctuations, so that the law of conservation of energy will not be violated." Einstein said.

Xia Lian frowned and pondered, "Is it okay to directly manifest antimatter and then build an antimatter reactor?"

"I tried it." Einstein said, "It consumes a lot of money. It may be that antimatter is a relatively high-level special energy, so it is not easy to realize.

If the mass of the black hole is too small, it is meaningless. It is better to start with the simplest nuclear fusion and accumulate mass. "

"It's not simple at all." Xia Lian smiled, "Although with the technology of the future, controlled thermonuclear fusion is basically a course for elementary school.

But in the imaginary number space, they all have to rely on their own strength to manifest.

Not to mention how to constrain the energy released by nuclear fusion, how to heat hydrogen to a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, or how to create a super huge atmospheric pressure is a big problem.

There is also a gradual increase in the temperature behind, which is an increase of hundreds of millions of degrees.

There is also the time required for the accumulation of quality, these are not small problems. "

"I know that, and I'm just making an assumption," Einstein said.

"That's what science is all about, isn't it? Make an idea, and then do it.

The technology in the future is so advanced, there will always be some solutions.

If there is no difficulty, it will be boring. "

Xia Lian nodded with a smile, "I agree with that."

After a pause, Xia Lian said, "If possible, I hope to create a new system that combines science and the fifth element from low to high, from simple to difficult.

It needs to be universal and universal. "

"Is it for the people on the Eternal Night Star?" Einstein said. "Have they controlled the fifth element for so long, haven't they found a path unique to civilization?"

"They have just entered the industrial revolution." Xia Lian said, "According to the current information, their exploration of the fifth element is in the direction of how to use it.

However, how to increase the total amount of the fifth element of an individual can only rely on primitive genetic optimization, generation after generation. "

Einstein nodded, "Indeed, if there is no conversion formula, it is not easy to increase the total amount."

Xia Lian continued: "If the micro black hole you envision can really be realized, even if the threshold is very high, if I can have dozens or even hundreds of warriors with portable micro black holes in them.

Coupled with the versatility of the fifth element, I may be able to travel to any corner of the galaxy. "

Einstein nodded, "Actually, I have successfully built a nuclear fission reactor in the imaginary space during this period of time. Compared with nuclear fusion, nuclear fission is much simpler."

Einstein and himself were using the same channel, so Xia Lian quickly turned his attention to the imaginary space.

But in his sight, the imaginary space is empty.

Einstein also looked at this scene, he was stunned, then frowned.

"Could it be that this world does not allow the existence of other material devices except the fifth element?"

Xia Lian also frowned and pondered.

"Did your nuclear fission reactor disappear before I came, or after I came."

Einstein seemed to realize something, saying, "I completed the reactor a month ago and successfully converted energy.

During the month, the reactor has been in a steady state. "

"Then I probably understand the reason." Xia Lian whispered softly.

After a pause, he seemed to be organizing the language, and then he continued.

"My time-space anchor is in the future, because my timeline is not in this era, so when I walk in the past, my lifespan will not increase, and I will not die.

According to my understanding, my ability should be saved before leaving, although memory will not be affected by time and space.

But my body was affected by the gear I was in before I left. "

"What do you mean, every time you travel through time and space, your body will be renovated once and restored to the state before you entered the past time and space?" Einstein said.

Xia Lian nodded, "There is a high probability that this is the case."

"In that case." Einstein looked around, "If we want to continue this experiment, we still need to travel to your time and space."

"Perhaps so."

"Wait for me first." Einstein walked slowly to the corner of the laboratory, pulled out a USB flash drive from a computer, picked up the violin again, and walked towards Xia Lian.

"Let's go."

Xia Lian nodded, then extended his hand to Einstein.

Einstein wanted to extend his hand, but as if thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Freya.
