Chapter 443 Stellar Energy Collector

After the transport spacecraft takes off from Pandora, it will carry the refined superconducting metals into space. In the sky, there will be another spacecraft responsible for receiving these superconducting metals and sterilizing them with ultraviolet light and high temperature to ensure that the blackwater virus will not attach to these superconducting metals.

That's right. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, when designing these transport spacecraft, a large number of high-power ultraviolet sterilization lamps are installed inside and outside the spacecraft without any blind spots.

Although the blackwater virus is very powerful, it could not escape the weakness that all viruses have, that is, it is afraid of ultraviolet rays. People from the Biological Research Institute conducted experiments on the planet LV223 and found that these blackwater viruses are also very afraid of ultraviolet light, especially high-intensity ultraviolet rays.

Ultraviolet light is a type of light that is invisible to the naked eye and has a wavelength between ten and four hundred nanometers.

Therefore, under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, ultraviolet rays will act on cytosine and thymine in the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, which will form cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers after irradiation with ultraviolet rays.

When organisms produce cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, the double-stranded structure of DNA is destroyed and RNA replication and transcription cannot proceed.

DNA and RNA are essential biological macromolecules for the development and normal functioning of organisms. The proteins required for the survival and reproduction of microorganisms cannot be synthesized, ultimately leading to the death of the microorganisms.

In addition, dissolved oxygen in water will generate active oxygen in the form of free radicals when exposed to ultraviolet rays. This change can also cause damage to the DNA of microorganisms.

The damaged DNA is oxidized and causes the sending of signals that are different from normal operations, disrupting the normal metabolic processes of microbial cells, and ultimately causing the proteins that play a role in the cells to lose their activity, leading to cell death.

In addition, in addition to DNA and RNA, other components of microorganisms, such as proteins and cell membranes, are also of great significance to the life activities of organisms. Ultraviolet rays may also affect the life activities of organisms by destroying the properties of these substances.

In addition to being intolerant to ultraviolet rays, they are also very tolerant to low temperatures. These black water viruses will automatically fall into a dormant state when the temperature is low, and will become active again when the temperature returns to normal.

However, the high temperature is also a kind of killing force on the blackwater virus. After all, no matter how powerful the blackwater virus is, it is still a protein. Therefore, high temperature can cook the protein and kill viruses and bacteria.

The superconducting metal sulfide mined and refined from the planet Pandora enters the Wandering Blue Planet after multiple virus disinfection steps, and then is further processed into the superconducting coils needed for the superconducting electromagnetic gun.

It is certainly not an easy task to install superconducting coils in the more than 10,000 cooling wells on the Wandering Blue Planet. The superconducting ore required is much more than the superconducting metal consumed in the construction of the star-destroying laser cannon!

After all, the depth of each cooling well is several thousand or even tens of thousands of kilometers, and it is conceivable how much it would cost to lay electromagnetic superconducting coils in such a long cooling well.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of such cooling wells. Of course, in fact not all of them can be turned into electromagnetic cannons. It depends on whether there are enough superconducting ores on Pandora.

Therefore, the priority now is naturally to lay the cooling well that goes directly through the entire cooling well of the core, that is, the cooling well at the center of the diameter of the blue planet.

Because only the vertical depth of the cooling well that passes through the center of the earth exceeds tens of thousands of kilometers, and the longer the electromagnetic acceleration track, the closer the acceleration of its electromagnetic cannon shells will naturally be to the speed of light.

However, with the establishment of electromagnetic cannons, another problem has emerged, that is, the energy problem. After all, the speed that the electromagnetic cannon needs to accelerate to is close to the speed of light, so the energy required to accelerate the electromagnetic cannon is naturally much more than that of the laser cannon. And there is not only one such star-destroying electromagnetic cannon, but at least hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands. The reason for building so many is naturally because of the fear of insufficient energy. After all, it takes a lot of time to charge the superconducting acceleration coil of the electromagnetic cannon each time.

Therefore, when you have multiple superconducting electromagnetic cannons, you can form uninterrupted firepower.

However, all of this is inseparable from one word, that is energy. Although when the mantle and core were cooled, their heat was used to generate electricity, and then the collider was started to produce a lot of antimatter for storage.

However, according to calculations, the energy collected to cool the entire mantle and core of the blue planet is not enough for a single shot from the superconducting electromagnetic cannon.

What's more, after more than 20,000 planetary engines on the Wandering Blue Star were transformed into hybrid power capable of mixing antimatter to increase the speed of plasma jets.

The demand for antimatter is also higher. After all, the speed of the wandering blue star was less than one percent of the speed of light before, but now it can reach 50% or even 70% of the speed of light. It can be seen that the energy or antimatter it needs has naturally increased by dozens or hundreds of times.

Therefore, collecting energy to create antimatter storage naturally became a key issue facing the top leaders of Wandering Blue Star.

The energy that needs to be collected at this stage is naturally not to rely on collecting hydrogen elements, then generating electricity through a nuclear fusion reactor, and then using electricity to start a hadron collider, and finally obtaining antimatter for storage.

That’s right, the current way to maintain energy is to create antimatter. After all, although superconducting coils can store a lot of electrical energy, superconducting metals are not enough to build electromagnetic guns!

So there is still extra superconducting metal there to build a superconducting energy storage power station!

As for storing a large amount of hydrogen and then generating electricity through a nuclear fusion reactor, this method is feasible, but the more troublesome thing is that with the current demand for energy, the efficiency of this nuclear fusion reactor in generating electricity is too slow.

It is far slower than the electricity generated by an antimatter reactor. You should know that the antimatter reactor generates electricity by directly annihilating the positive and negative hydrogen atoms, and then releasing a large amount of light. After the light is converted by the photovoltaic panels with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 99.9%, it is all converted into electrical energy, which can then be used to directly charge the coil electromagnetic gun.

Such conversion efficiency is much higher than that of using hydrogen fusion reactors to generate electricity. So far, using hydrogen reactors to generate electricity still requires boiling water, because the mass-energy loss of hydrogen fusion is only 0.7%.

And this 0.7 percent of energy also heats the remaining substances to tens of millions of degrees Celsius, so those high-energy ions naturally cannot be absorbed by photovoltaic panels.

After all, this hydrogen fusion reactor is not gravitationally constrained like a star, so only light can escape instead of a large amount of high-temperature plasma, and only an occasional flare can allow some high-temperature plasma to escape.

So in order to solve the problem of energy shortage, a report on building a stellar energy collector in the orbit of Proxima Centauri was put forward.

The content of this report is also very simple, which is to build a large-area photovoltaic power generation satellite in an orbit close to the star Proxima Centauri, and then use the energy collected by the power generation panels to start the collider on the satellite, and use the collider to produce antimatter.
