Chapter 886 Negative Matter Production Technology

Of course, this alone is far from enough to create negative energy.

Because the negative energy produced by just one set of quantum shutters is really negligible, humans must expand the scale when making creations. There is a way, and human technology can do it, which is to combine groups of quantum shutters to form a structure like an integrated transistor, and then arrange and combine them.

Humans call this device a negative energy generator.

Although it is called a negative energy generator, it actually also generates positive energy, but it is isolated by humans.

Therefore, in design, there will be two energy channels connected to this equipment, one is the negative energy channel and the other is the positive energy channel.

After the positive and negative energy fields of the laser energy state are separated by the quantum shutter, the positive and negative energies will enter two channels respectively and then be used by humans.

Positive energy will be directed to some equipment that needs to do work, such as being converted into daily electricity for human warships, or it will be stored as electrical energy. In other words, this path is linked to the conventional energy utilization system.

Negative energy is quite special. In theory, it is the necessary energy for planetary warp engines. However, humans have not yet truly mastered the theory of everything and cannot create that thing.

Therefore, the negative energy produced at this stage is basically only used for various related negative energy experiments. After all, this is the first time that humans have produced negative energy. It is a scarce thing. Almost all scientific teams are drooling over it. They are eager to obtain negative energy in order to study its properties and characteristics more carefully, and finally master it thoroughly and use it to serve human civilization and strengthen human civilization.

If we want to study and utilize negative energy, we must solve the problem of its preservation.

Humans must have the technology to create storage devices for it, just like humans store electrical energy. Of course, negative energy is special and cannot be stored in the same way as positive energy. Because it is called negative energy, it is actually negative matter, just with different names for different states.

Therefore, its preservation method is both complex and simple. If it is preserved directly in the form of negative energy, it would definitely be difficult or even impossible, but it is much easier to preserve it in the form of negative matter.

Negative matter is not antimatter, it will not annihilate with matter, so humans can use normal containers to contain it. There is a repulsive force between it and the container wall, the size of which is related to the mass of it and the container, and the value obeys the law of universal gravitation, but the direction is opposite, becoming a repulsive force.

So the container can be made of normal matter, but not just any bottle will do, because the properties of negative matter determine that it cannot exist in the natural environment. In the current cosmic environment, it will instantly turn into negative energy, and then positive energy will immediately appear out of nowhere to submerge it.

So the difficulty lies in how to keep the negative energy in the form of negative matter in the container.

And this is where the theory of everything comes in.

Through years of observation and experiments on natural wormholes, scientists have discovered that in order to create such an environment, it is necessary to create a position based on the interweaving of the four fundamental forces, namely a super-force field.

Well, it can actually be stored in a container in the form of negative energy, but the container must be made of Fermi condensed matter, which is used for quantum shutter materials, because that kind of material can isolate positive and negative energy. In the concept of using negative energy, humans also intend to use this material to make negative energy transmission pipelines.

However, if it is stored in the form of negative energy, the volume it occupies will be too large. The difference between negative matter and negative energy of the same negative mass is like the difference between dry ice and carbon dioxide gas of the same mass, with a huge volume difference.

It can be said that negative matter is the ultimate compressed state of negative energy.

Therefore, the best solution for energy preservation is definitely negative matter. However, the theory of everything is not yet fully mature, and humans are not yet able to create such a force field environment. We can only use fermion condensed matter as a container to create some negative energy to meet the experimental needs of scientists.

Everything has a process. Although it cannot be achieved overnight, mankind has seen the bright future of the Theory of Everything. At this point, truly mastering the Theory of Everything has gone from 'just around the corner' to 'within reach'.

We are very close. Perhaps if we study negative energy more thoroughly, we will be able to truly master it. Humans who master the technology of producing negative energy will inevitably advance faster and faster.

Then the theory of everything, the theory of everything, and the grand unified theory are really within reach!

The mysterious force of gravity is about to be conquered!

Humans are highly motivated.

It is worth mentioning that this method of producing negative energy also consumes energy, that is, there must be input energy, and the total amount of input energy is always less than the sum of output energy, and the same is true in the process of preparing negative energy.

In fact, when the news that negative energy was successfully created by humans in the laboratory first reached the society, people thought that the theory that perpetual motion machines were impossible was about to be broken.

Many people thought at the time: positive energy does positive work, negative energy does negative work, the sum of the two is no work, doesn't it mean that the sum of positive and negative energy is zero? Then it stands to reason that even if the total input energy is small, it is possible to produce infinite positive and negative energy.
However, they overlooked the fact that in physics, positive work and negative work cannot be directly equal to zero as in mathematical calculations: +1 plus -1 equals zero. Negative work is also work, and the manufacturing process also requires energy to be provided to the quantum shutter, which involves intermediate losses.

The law of conservation of energy has not been overturned.

Human scientists are very clear about this. Even if the law of conservation of energy is really overturned one day, it is not a problem with the law of conservation of energy itself, but that the rules of the universe have been modified. The energy input into modifying the rules of the universe itself will exceed the energy obtained by civilization after the law of conservation of energy is overturned.

The second law of thermodynamics is so tenacious and cruel!

Even a powerful civilization like the sixth level cannot guarantee that it can complete the voyage to the stars.

Yue Yuan also had a deep understanding of this. He remembered Yi Kaizeng telling him that in the Earth era, there were some films and cartoons that often featured technologies that claimed to subvert the law of energy conservation, such as creating things out of thin air.
He also showed Yue Yuan the anime in his stock.

Yue Yuan naturally treated it as a joke, but such stories did provide some inspiration, such as the point about subverting the law of conservation of energy. Although he knew it was nonsense, if technology was advanced enough, perhaps some local entropy reduction technology could be developed. And as long as the user was not informed of the source of energy, for the user, this technology would subvert the law of conservation of energy out of nothing.

However, this kind of thing is just a brainstorming. If there is such technology, the long voyage will be simple. Thinking of this, Yue Yuan suddenly remembered the description of the long voyage by the pioneers. The seventh-level civilization has truly mastered the technology of extracting energy from space on a large scale.

This is also the reason why civilizations above level six are called cosmic civilizations.

Extracting energy from the vacuum, vacuum zero-point energy, seems to be inexhaustible, borrowing the energy of the universe without returning it. But is it really so?
Could it be that somewhere in the universe, unknown to all civilizations that harness this energy, something is happening because of the reckless extraction of this energy?
Maybe they know
At this moment, Yue Yuan suddenly had a brainstorm and felt that the reason why civilizations above level six almost disappeared might be closely related to this kind of thing!
