Chapter 272 – You Can’t Go Without Fireworks During New Year (2)
“It’s called the Planetary Antimatter Bomb.” Facing the camera, Chen Yu smiled and said, “In other words, it is capable of causing damage on a planetary scale. Do you like this present, everyone?”
[??]
[???]
[Stop kidding, please!]
[You call this a gift?]
[And it’s even a New Year gift?]
[Daddy, stop making trouble…]
[Husband, stop making trouble…]
[Wife, stop making trouble…]
[Host, do you have any misunderstandings about the concept of New Year?]
[Excellent. The New Year has just arrived, and Earth-kun is already going to declare GG.]
[Exciting! I’m in Tangshan City. Toss it to my side! Fast!]
…
Simultaneously, silence enveloped the special situation team’s conference room in Beijing.
“Antimatter…” The middle-aged team leader mumbled to himself as he stared at the big screen. “I-Is it the matter particle with opposite electrical properties?”
“I-It should be…” the short-haired, female technical staff standing beside the middle-aged team leader answered, stammering. “Maybe it’s similar to the former Nuclear Energy Laboratory and is categorized as a toy…”
“He said it was a bomb.”
“..”
Lowering his head, the middle-aged team leader took a look at the document listing the products speculated to appear in this livestream. After a moment of silence, he asked hoarsely, “Compared to a hydrogen bomb, how much more powerful is an antimatter bomb? If it is detonated in outer space, will it affect the surface?”
“A collision of matter and antimatter will convert 100% of the mass into energy. The conversion rate of a hydrogen bomb that uses fusion reaction is only 0.7%. According to the mass-energy equation, the collision of one gram of antimatter and one gram of positive matter can generate 43,000 tons of TNT equivalent. The exact damage radius depends on the ‘quantity’ of the antimatter, or how big the bomb is.”
“What if it’s the same size as the box he’s holding?”
Hearing this, the technical staff didn’t even bother making any mental calculations as she pursed her lips before saying, “If we only count 5,000 x 43,000 tons of TNT, we’ll get at least 15,000 Hiroshima equivalent…”
“…”
…
“Don’t be nervous, everyone.” Raising his wrist, Chen Yu glanced at the wave of bullet comments flooding across his watch’s screen before explaining, “The so-called planetary bomb doesn’t mean it is capable of destroying planets. It is only capable of causing damage. It isn’t very dangerous. In my opinion, it is the perfect firework.
“However, for mankind’s safety, I’ll unbox this product in outer space.” Picking up the red box, Chen Yu walked to the Interstellar Portal. While manipulating the portal, he continued, “Otherwise, if an explosion were to occur here, just the resulting tsunamis and earthquakes would be more than enough for Earth to suffer.
“Of course, as this is a dangerous product, even if you manage to go to outer space, please don’t mimic my actions and casually unpackage an antimatter bomb.”
[Only you will.]
[Only you will…]
[This thing is perfect for blast fishing.]
[Can Big Ivan put up a fight?]
[You guys are still in the mood to joke around? Are you not worried at all? That’s an antimatter bomb we’re talking about!]
[What’s there to worry about? If we’re going to die anyway, let’s all die together.]
[Didn’t the host say that there’s going to be an even more frightening product several episodes down the line? This is only an appetizer.]
[Listen to me. From now on, the livestream’s genre should change from science and technology to horror.]
[I’m standing at the balcony together with my family while waiting for the fireworks to bloom.（(*^▽^*)）]
Buzz!
Space within the metal arch fluctuated as the spatial link was successfully established. The world behind the metal arch then transformed into a deep, dark space.
“King.” Standing at a side, Little Peach worriedly said, “Be careful.”
“I’m just lighting a firecracker. What’s there to be careful of?”
Waving his hand, Chen Yu put on his left glove and walked through the portal with the red box.
The floating camera also entered the portal together with Chen Yu, and the scenery displayed in the livestream rooms instantly changed.
“We’ve entered space.”
While hovering in the vacuum environment, Chen Yu pointed at the super-large sphere underneath him and introduced, “Everyone, you can see it, right? Below me is the planet you are residing on. The bright dots you see are city lights. Through these lights, you can also tell the degree of development of each region.
“Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, and several other major cities are incredibly bright. These are the lights of civilization. However, the light that’s going to appear next will be even brighter…”
After saying so, Chen Yu turned toward the camera and settled the red box before his chest. “As I am in space, it is inconvenient for me to remove my glove, so I won’t be looking at everyone’s bullet comments. Now, let the review continue.”
The next moment, Chen Yu tore off the transparent seal on the red box and slowly removed the lid in front of the camera.
The next moment, what entered the livestream’s 25 million viewers’ view was the red box’s white interior coupled. There were also two transparent glass casing in the center of the box, and inside each case was a floating capsule colored black and white.
Meanwhile, located directly below the glass covers was a virtually projected console.
“Beautiful…”
Reaching out, Chen Yu cautiously touched the glass covers. “The capsules should contain both positive matter and antimatter. Judging by the colors, black should be antimatter. Moreover, after opening the lid, my helmet has detected a strong magnetic field. So, there should be a strong magnetic field inside the capsules to prevent the two substances from making contact.”
After observing for a moment, Chen Yu cautiously returned the lid onto the box. He then faced the camera and said, “It’s still early now. There’s still half an hour or so before the year is over, so let’s not hurry in setting off the firecracker. Instead, I’ll use this opportunity to introduce you to what antimatter is and how powerful an antimatter bomb is.
“Firstly, I need to correct an existing misconception. The idea that a collision between matter and antimatter will directly result in the production of energy is incorrect.” Stretching out a finger, Chen Yu casually said, “The annihilation of matter is much more complicated than the above statement.
“In the standard model of particle physics, elementary particles are divided into two types: fermions and bosons. Among them, fermions can be further divided into quarks and leptons.
“Meanwhile, the so-called annihilation of particles and antiparticles doesn’t mean both particles will just disappear out of thin air and transform into energy. There is no such saying in physics. Annihilation is, after all, a very basic particle reaction that transforms into various products.
“For example, when an electron and a positron collide, they will be converted into two high-energy photons. The energy is derived from the mass of the two electrons, which satisfies the law of conservation of mass and energy. The photon is uncharged and satisfies the law of conservation of charge.
“This is just the simplest example. It is important to know that more than 99% percent of the mass of matter comes from the nucleus. Meanwhile, the nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons, and each neutron and proton is composed of three valence quarks. Furthermore, in between valence quarks, there is an uncountable number of sea quarks bound by gluons. There is are also countless mesons shuttling rapidly in the neutron… Everyone, do you see how complicated of a system this is?”
[What? What? What? What’s all this?]
[Don’t understand.]
[I don’t get it, but it feels amazing.]
[I’m only a machine that knows how to type ‘awesome.’]
[I get it! So, that’s how it is! So, dumplings should be dipped in sea quark soy sauce! Where can I buy some?]
[Please look at high school science electives 3-5.]
[Intelligent men fascinates me.]
Amidst the overwhelming wave of bullet comments, Chen Yu continued his narration.
“Hence, with such a complicated system, even simple annihilations such as protons and antiprotons will result in very uncertain and massive changes. Eventually, as many as nine kinds of electrons, antineutrinos, down antiquarks, and up quarks can be produced.
“Therefore, when macroscopic matter and antimatter collide, we can never guess what kind of explosion will result.
“However, one thing is for certain…
“According to human aesthetics, the explosion produced will be absolutely breathtaking…”
