While some scientific teams at the Academy of Life Sciences delved deeper into their new discoveries regarding Mind Imprint technology, other scientific teams were also working in different fields.

As everyone knew, the hallmark of a Level 4 Civilization was the Grand Unified Theory, and the Grand Unified Theory was the theoretical foundation of Gravity Potential Well Technology. With Gravity Potential Well Technology, humanity could store antimatter on a massive scale.

So where would this so-called large-scale antimatter come from?

Naturally, humanity would have to manufacture it itself. It could hardly just appear out of thin air and be handed to humanity.

Therefore, after achieving the Grand Unified Theory, some of humanity's scientists and engineers devoted themselves to antimatter production.

So how was antimatter made?

Making antimatter was not as simple as waving a hand, writing "a sack of antimatter" on a bag, and immediately hauling away a sack full of antimatter. It did not work that way.

Humanity admitted that it did not know how to do that, so it could only proceed step by step.

Everyone understood the composition of matter. Atoms were the Elementary Particles that made up matter, atoms consisted of Atomic Nuclei and electrons outside the nucleus, and Atomic Nuclei were made up of protons and neutrons.

The concept of antimatter had existed since the Earth Era, and humanity already possessed processes for producing charged particles such as positrons and Anti-Protons. The Positron Cannon was proof that humanity could produce positrons in large quantities.

Electrically neutral antimatter could therefore be produced along the same lines.

Humanity called this method the Gamma Ray Bombardment Method.

First, human engineers had to create a Gamma Particle Stream Generator. A gamma particle stream was produced when new nuclei, formed after radioactive Atomic Nuclei underwent Alpha Decay and Beta Decay,
