When one ton of antimatter and matter are completely annihilated, the energy released is equivalent to two tons of matter.

According to the mass-energy formula, this energy is 1.8*10^20 joules, which is approximately equal to the energy released by the explosion of 428 billion tons of standard TNT.

At this moment, such a high energy explosion only occurred in a space of only a few cubic meters in volume, and the explosion time was extremely short.

Thanks to the full contact between matter and antimatter, their reaction time is concentrated in just a few nanoseconds. The time to complete the reaction and annihilate each other is also only a few nanoseconds, and the total time does not exceed 15 nanoseconds.

In such a short period of time, even the sun can only release about 5.61*10^18 joules of energy.

That is to say, in this instant, the energy released in this volume of just a few cubic meters is equivalent to about 32 suns!
The volume of 32 suns is as high as 4.6*10^28 cubic meters, that is, at this moment, the radiation power of this few cubic meters is as high as three trillion trillion times the average radiation power of the sun of the same volume!
Such a high energy level is probably incomparable even to a supernova explosion.

In such a violent and compact explosion, a series of wonderful changes occurred, and people suddenly found that these wonderful changes were inconsistent with all previous theoretical predictions.

The observation equipment set up around the explosion site is based on the value of two tons of matter being completely converted into energy, which is 1.8*10^20 joules.

If you are too close, you will be destroyed by this energy. If you are too far away, you will waste the observation window.

But at this moment, people saw that the equipment, which was originally hundreds of kilometers away and was calculated not to be destroyed by this energy, was completely destroyed in the instant after the explosion.

According to rough calculations, the energy released by this explosion is about 10 times the theoretical calculated value, which means that it is not equivalent to two tons of energy, but equivalent to 20 tons!
At this moment, all the scientists who participated in the experiment were stunned. After a moment of stunnedness, a surge of ecstasy surged in their hearts at the same time.

Unlike other industries, for scientific research, discovering through experiments that past theories are wrong and that predictions are inconsistent with experiments is not a bad thing. It is a good thing, or even a huge good thing.

Only by finding inconsistencies can we find new physical theories, further improve the theoretical system, and enhance the level of science and technology!

At this moment, this extremely shocking and obvious discrepancy was truly revealed to people.

This time, due to the abnormal ultra-high energy explosion, a large number of observation equipment were damaged, and not enough data was collected as expected, making it impossible to clearly determine the specific cause.

But it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work this time, there will be next time. But it's only a few decades of waiting, people can afford it.

Along with the data obtained this time, a large number of alternative theories began to be revised and iterated again in an attempt to find a reasonable explanation.

After decades of eager waiting, the antiproton field once again produced enough antihydrogen, and a new round of experiments began immediately.

This time, people began to arrange observation equipment according to energy data that was ten times greater than previously estimated.

This time, all the observation equipment was intact, so a large number of previously discovered physical processes were presented to every researcher in the form of data.

All scholars, including Han Yang, immediately began to analyze the data.

Many conjectures were overturned, and many conjectures emerged again. With another experiment, more targeted observations produced more targeted data, so many conjectures were overturned again, and many conjectures emerged again...

This was repeated several times, and finally, a completely new, systematic, logically self-consistent, numerically self-consistent and systemically self-consistent theory was put forward through the joint efforts and improvement of hundreds of millions of scientific researchers.

This theory holds that the reason for the energy surge is that such a high-energy explosion briefly connects the matter and antimatter universes, and through a process similar to Hawking radiation, more antimatter is generated to participate in the reaction, thus triggering the energy surge.

Specifically, virtual particle pairs will continue to be born in the vacuum, one with positive mass and one with negative mass, and then both will annihilate and disappear from the universe.

If it happens to be at the edge of a black hole, then the particle with negative mass may fall into the black hole, causing the mass of the black hole to decrease.

Particles with positive mass that appear in pairs will "escape from virtuality and become real", truly become material particles, and be launched into outer space.

Therefore, from the overall perspective, it looks like a black hole is radiating energy.

The process is similar now.

Because of the extremely high energy level, antivirtual particle pairs, that is, virtual particle pairs of antimatter, will also appear in space.

Originally, they would annihilate each other, leaving nothing behind. However, because the energy is too high, the antimatter universe has a certain connection with the positive matter universe, "swallowing" the antiparticles with negative mass in the antivirtual particle pairs, leaving the antiparticles with positive mass in the current universe, thus causing an abnormal increase in antimatter, which in turn led to an overall surge in explosion energy.

To put it more simply, the current universe "steals" some energy from the antimatter universe, just like virtual particle pairs "steal" some energy from black holes.

This process involves extremely profound and fundamental research on the properties of space, as well as the most basic reaction process between matter and space, and has an extremely beautiful presentation form.

It can even be said that it is the theory of space itself!

Now there is only one thing left to do.

Conduct the experiment again to verify the predictions it made and verify its correctness.

Another experiment began. This time, even those who had little to do with the scientific community, or even just ordinary people, paid attention to this matter.

After all, if experiments verify the predictions of this theory and prove its correctness, it means that human civilization has truly mastered the theory of space. Mastering the theory of space means that human civilization has truly entered the sixth level of civilization!
Level six civilization!

The vast galaxy is the stage that countless civilizations have dreamed of and longed for. Now, human civilization is very likely to achieve it!

How can this not excite and make people pay attention?
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, accompanied by another loud explosion, a large amount of data was generated again. All relevant scientists immediately devoted themselves to data analysis.

Han Yang went all out and invested almost all his computing power.

One day passed, two days passed, a month passed...

Three full months later.

Hundreds of scientists with the title of "academician" gathered at the computing center of the space laboratory.

The final verification of the relevant data was carried out by supercomputers. After three days of calculations, the calculation tasks performed by 10 supercomputers were about to reach a final conclusion.

People kept whispering, discussing their guesses and predictions. Some looked nervous, some excited, and some solemn. "The calculations are complete."

Four words appeared on the big screen. At this moment, everyone held their breath.

"After calculation, the difference between the theoretical prediction and the actual observation is about one in 30, and the overall credibility is 99.9999%."

With a bang, everyone stood up at that moment. The next moment, warm cheers and applause rang out, and the atmosphere was so warm that it almost blew the roof off.

Seeing this result, Han Yang's heart was filled with joy and emotion.

Based on the rigor of science, the credibility cannot be 100%. But just like a paternity test report will not have a description like 100% but can still be used as legally recognized proof, at this moment, this credibility is completely sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

There is no doubt that it is correct.

"Finally, we have finally become a level six civilization..."

Han Yang suddenly recalled the tens of thousands of years of travel, the wars and large-scale projects that had taken place one after another, the countless martyrs who had sacrificed their lives along the way, and the countless heroes who had dedicated their entire lives to the cause.

At this moment, it's all worth it.

When the news was announced to the society, every human being, whether he was a high-ranking official or a wealthy person, a teacher or a worker, a street vendor or a business elite, fell into ecstasy at the same time.

Life at this moment was no different from the previous moment, and no one's life had been affected by this incident. But everyone was clearly aware that everything was different.

After this breakthrough, applied physics research based on the space theory system began.

The space theory system that was finally fully recognized by people is like a mine. Countless scientists are like miners, digging desperately in this mine and digging out a large amount of extremely precious minerals.

People first realized that most applications of Level VI civilization are based on sufficiently high energy levels. In theory, only antimatter can meet such high energy levels.

This means that large-scale production of antimatter has become an urgent need.

But it is obvious that the technology of producing antimatter using conventional matter and conventional methods has not made much breakthrough compared to the fifth-level civilization stage.

The Great Particle Collider may be more efficient, consume less energy, and have a smaller mass, but there is no essential breakthrough.

This has become the first problem people are facing today.

However, a breakthrough was soon made in this difficult problem. Through space theory, people found that as long as there is a small amount of antimatter at the beginning, a large amount of antimatter can be continuously stolen from the antimatter universe through a "stealing" mechanism similar to Hawking radiation.

One gram becomes ten grams, ten grams becomes a hundred grams, and then becomes ten thousand tons, a hundred thousand tons, and everything in between.

After all, according to theoretical calculations, the total mass of the antimatter universe is equivalent to the total mass of visible matter in the visible universe, so there is no possibility of exhaustion at all.

All that needs to be solved after that are engineering issues, such as how to make it more efficient and miniaturized, and how to store and transport antimatter more safely.

Large-scale antimatter production technology has made rapid progress. Today, through some experimental equipment, the total mass of antimatter possessed by human civilization has exceeded 10,000 tons and is still growing rapidly.

Afterwards, breakthroughs occurred in superluminal travel technology, which allows for even higher speeds.

Originally, the technology of influencing space through dark force, gravity and other means had been researched to the limit by the fifth-level civilization. The curvature of space could not be increased any further, and the speed could not be increased any further.

However, the existence of the antimatter universe has been verified, and the large-scale use of antimatter can take advantage of the influence of the antimatter universe on the current universe to find a new way to make space have a more special curvature and thus obtain a faster speed.

In the laboratory, the speed of the hypersonic aircraft made by humans has exceeded 100 times the speed of light for the first time, reaching 102 times the speed of light, and is still undergoing rapid iteration.

In terms of defense, the new space shield has entered the experimental stage.

Based on a new technological system that is different from the previous dark energy multi-layer shields, gravity and energy shields in terms of the underlying theoretical system, the space shield has achieved unimaginable defense capabilities.

Through direct manipulation of space, it can directly lay out a layer of distorted space around the spacecraft, delaying, reversing, delaying, and distorting all attacks from the outside world, including but not limited to kinetic energy, light beams, thermal energy, dark energy, gravity and all other means of attack.

Only enemies with equal space technology, using space technology to affect this layer of space shield, would have the possibility of breaking it. In addition, as long as there is enough energy, a level 6 civilization spaceship can hardly cause damage to it even if it is completely motionless and allowed to be attacked by a level 5 civilization spaceship.

In terms of detection, based on a deep understanding of space, a level VI civilization can create a highly sensitive space network monitoring system.

Theoretically, any object with mass will cause a pull on space as long as it moves, thus forming some kind of space oscillation.

This oscillation has properties similar to gravitational waves and will continue to expand outward.

A level six civilization can monitor an entire star system, or even an entire star field, and all spaces and moving objects within a radius of hundreds of light years through space monitoring.

As for the monitoring of superluminal navigation, there is no need to mention it. The space shock it causes is larger and more obvious than conventional navigation.

Of course, even a level 6 civilization would have to go to great lengths to reach this theoretical limit, but normally, a level 6 civilization obviously wouldn't need such high sensitivity.

In terms of offense, based on a deep understanding of space, a level six civilization can rely on space technology to achieve a variety of incredible offensive methods.

Just the areas that humans have already conducted preliminary research on include five major categories and hundreds of subcategories, including multiple spatial tearing, regional decomposition, tip explosion, distortion, and so on.

Even with only the above-mentioned breakthroughs, a Level VI civilization would be powerful enough to completely crush any non-Level VI civilization and dominate the galaxy.

But not only Han Yang, almost all scientists also believe that compared with the applied technology implied by the last space theory, all the space technologies mentioned before are not worth mentioning, and their value is not even one percent of the last technology.

That is microcosm technology.

Based on a deep understanding of space theory, in some way, a whole piece of space can be directly torn out from the current universe, making it independent of the current universe like the antimatter universe. (End of this chapter)
