Lena's gaze focused on the transparent section of the metal cylinder, which was not thick, even half the diameter smaller than the potato chip tube she had just thrown away, like two solid metal rods connected by a transparent glass cylinder in the middle, and in the center, there was a white object the size of a shotgun bullet steel ball trembling, like a crystalline salt.
"You don't want to use this thing to blow up the entire base, do you?"
After watching it for a long time, Lena suddenly had a delusion, whether the old guy in front of her was crazy or confused, and there was a sense of absurdity.
"That's right."
Old Habs carefully placed Yuantong upright on the ground, as if he was very afraid of what was inside, "To be precise, I want to use it to destroy the ancient city of Atlantis." ” Lena's gaze became strange, and for a moment she even had the urge to yell at old Habs, "You're crazy."
"This is no ordinary bomb.
It's the devil's handiwork, and it shouldn't exist on this planet.
Old Habs had a solemn face and a serious tone, not at all like he was joking: "This thing has a name, called the devil particle, some people compare it to the devil sealed in a box, and some people say that it is a mystery of the universe."
The question is, from which perspective do you look at it?
” Lena's scalp exploded and blurted out: "This is antimatter" "That's right, it's a bomb made of antimatter."
Old Habs sighed, "I didn't want to use something so dangerous, but of all the plans of action, this is the craziest and most dangerous. ” "You're crazy," Lena finally couldn't help but say this time around.
"I'm not crazy, I can't think of anything else that could destroy the entire jellyfish base, and cause devastating damage to the ancient city of Atlantis."
Old Habs said.
Antimatter, that's a terrible noun.
Antimatter is a particle of matter that is similar to a particle of matter and has opposite electrical properties.
Each elementary particle has its counterpart.
When an elementary particle meets its antiparticle, it is annihilated at the same time.
In recent years, scientists believe that antimatter can not only solve energy problems and achieve an energy revolution, but also has significant prospects for military applications.
According to scientific estimates, the energy released after the annihilation explosion of antiprotons and protons per millionth of a gram is equivalent to 378 kilograms of explosives.
One gram of antimatter is equivalent to about 40,000 tons of explosives, equivalent to the energy of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
A few micrograms of antimatter can act as a trigger for a thermonuclear reaction, or it can excite a strong X-ray burst or γ-ray laser.
If an antiproton and a proton are annihilated against each other, the energy released is about 1o times that of a uranium nucleus when it fissions; If we consider the secondary effect of the annihilation reaction in the matter, then this reaction will release more energy.
"This kind of thing has not been tested at all, no one knows the consequences, you really plan to use it" Lena gasped, "You're really crazy" "This thing is experimental, and although the consequences are terrible, the effect is really good."
Old Habs shook his head and denied Lena's claim, "It's just that these are all top-secret information, and the people who know the inside story are either killed on the spot, or they are tight-lipped, and they circulate in a very small range, so even you won't know." ” "When" "Do you know about the three most devastating explosions in history that are currently the most unexplained?"
asked the elder Habs.
"I know."
Lena's pupils narrowed rapidly, "The Siberian Tunguska explosion, the Chinese Ming Dynasty apocalypse explosion, and the ancient Indian Death Hill explosion. ” Old Habs nodded, "At least one of these three explosions was caused by an antimatter bomb, and this matter has the most original sealed materials in the secret data room of the Presbyterian Church, and no one has the right to read it except for the head of the Habs family, not even the leaders of the other three families." ” "Which time" Lena was visibly stunned by the secret.
"In fact, antimatter weapons have been created a long time ago, and the best alchemist in the history of the Alchemy Guild, Nikola Mele, showed how to make it in the Jade Record.
The two biggest problems of antimatter are capture and storage, and now human science has also studied it, but in the past nearly 100 years, their highest record is to capture 500 particles, which is less than one gram, and in terms of storage, with the current technology of human science, at most, antimatter will be trapped in less than a second and disappear.
However, the method obtained by Mailer in the jade record can not only improve the efficiency of capture by 10,000 times, but also successfully study the method of storage. ” He picked up the cylinder on the ground, pointed to the metal rods at both ends and said: "This is the only two alchemy metal rods in the world that can maintain antimatter materials in a solid state and not disappear, no one knows its formula, when the Alchemy Guild kidnapped Mailer's wife, many people thought that they wanted him to help build the company and go to prison, but in fact, no one knew that the Dulin family wanted Mailer to hand over this weapon formula."
However, before he escaped the Alchemy Guild and disappeared, Mailer only made two sets of equipment, one was used during the Tunguska explosion, this is the last one, this time Durin thought that the attacks on his Alchemy Guild's headquarters and branches were the hands of the Restoration Society, so he was willing to hand over this to me to use. ” Lena stared at the white vigilance beating in the metal pipe, this thing looked like it was less than ten grams at most, but she knew very well that if it exploded, this thing could withstand N atomic bombs and other nuclear weapons, and more importantly, it turned out to be a "clean" high-power weapon, and there would be absolutely no secondary pollution after the explosion, and there would be no residue.
Perhaps, this is why the Tunguska explosion is simply unexplained, and it has been suggested that it was a nuclear explosion, but there is no evidence of nuclear residues there.
"What are you going to do?"
asked Lena.
"According to the information provided to us by Dorin, the most vulnerable part of the base is in the center of its bottom, if the Liberation Council wants to restart the entire ancient city of Atlantis, then it must dock with it, and the interface is in the center of the bottom of the base, I can set up a program to dive the submarine into that position and then detonate it."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and no one spoke, except for the slight humming noise of the submarine itself.
No one knows what to say.
It was indeed a suicidal mission, because there was simply no time to retreat, the scope of the explosion was too great.
"Maybe this is the last plan, but after meeting you, I changed the whole plan a little."
Old Habs said: "You can use your talent to bring me and Selena into the base, and if we can stop the Restoration Society's plan by other means, I will radio the crew of the submarine and tell them to stop the whole plan, and if we unfortunately miss, then the Barracuda will follow the route I set all the way to the bottom of the sea and then detonate." ” End of chapter:
