"There is no doubt that this is a gorgeous performance! Chen, I am not as good as you." Elon Musk said to Chen Mengchuan with a smile.
Chen Mengchuan shrugged. He cares about many things, but at the same time he doesn't care about many things, including reputation and reputation.
"Chen, I've been looking for you for a long time. Come on, let me introduce you to a guy. Haha, I bet you will get along very well with him." Möbius laughed and brought a man over.
Chen Mengchuan smiled and looked at the two people walking over.
"Marshall, let me introduce to you. This guy is Chen, the founder of Tenzhi Technology. Chen, this is Marshall." Möbius's voice was loud and he was obviously in a good mood.
"Hello, Marshall..."
"Hello, Chen..."
After a few people talked, Chen Mengchuan learned the identity of the man in his early 50s from Möbius's mouth. Grandson of Carl D. Anderson.
When the name of Carl D. Anderson was mentioned, both Chen Mengchuan and Elon Musk were slightly surprised.
Carl D. Anderson is a genius in United States physics and even modern physics. He was the first scientist to discover and prove the positron. He was also awarded Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of positrons. When he was only 25 years old, he was awarded Nobel Prize in Physics by the famous physicist Millikan Under the guidance of, he conducted an in-depth study of cosmic rays. After a lot of research and demonstration, he discovered a new particle in the cloud chamber's trajectory that has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge - the positron. At the age of 30, he received the highest honor in the scientific community, Nobel Prize in Physics, which many people would be hard-pressed to obtain in their lifetime.
After Carl D. Anderson demonstrated and discovered the positron, he also verified that Paul Dirac's argument was correct! Because a large part of his research is based on the direction of Paul Dirac's equations.
Paul Dirac, a few years before Carl D. Anderson studied cosmology, had published a paper in which he proposed that electrons can have both positive and negative charges. In this paper, Dirac introduced Dirac equation for the first time. This equation unified quantum mechanics, special relativity and electron spin. Spin was still a very new concept at the time and was used to explain Zeeman effect.
The Dirac equation he gave can describe the physical behavior of fermions, explain the spin of particles, and first predict the existence of antiparticles. He also played a pioneering role in path integral and second quantization, laying an important foundation for the subsequent development of quantum electrodynamics. In addition, he introduced the concept of topology into physics and proposed the theory of magnetic monopoles.
"A truly shameful identity, I am far worse than my grandfather." Marshall said in a very humble tone.
"Okay, okay, don't show off your grandfather in front of me. You, a person who has been nominated by Nobel Prize in Physics four times, are being humbled here with me. Do you know that it makes me sick?" Möbius scolded with a smile.
"Chen, this guy's research in the fields of annihilation, antimatter, and antiparticles. I believe there are not many people on earth who can surpass him. It depends on the price you give to buy him." Möbius pointed at Marshall and said to Chen Mengchuan.
His words made the other three people present dumbfounded.
"Mr. Marshall is deeply researched in the field of antimatter?" Chen Mengchuan smiled slightly and his expression became much more serious.
Chen Mengchuan It is very clear that in particle physics, antimatter is an extension of the concept of antiparticles. Antimatter is made up of antiparticles, just like ordinary matter is made up of ordinary particles. For example, an antiproton and an antielectron can form an antihydrogen atom, just as an electron and a proton form a hydrogen atom of ordinary matter. Not only that, Chen Mengchuan is very clear about the combination of matter and antimatter, which will be like the combination of particles and antiparticles, leading to the annihilation of the two, and will also release high-energy photons, gamma rays, or other lower-energy pairs of positive and negative particles.
The kinetic energy imparted to the particles created by the annihilation of matter and antimatter is equal to the kinetic energy of the original matter and antimatter pair, plus the difference between the rest mass of the original matter and the rest mass of the generated particles, with the latter usually accounting for the majority.
Under the natural environment on the earth, it is almost difficult to find the existence of antimatter phenomena. Even if it exists, it is almost fleeting and ultra-trace, and it is difficult to observe and find it. This is because if antimatter does not exist in an artificial environment such as a physics laboratory, it will inevitably collide with and annihilate matter in nature.
Currently, antiparticles and some stable antimatter on Earth, such as antihydrogen, can be artificially produced in very small amounts in cutting-edge physics laboratories, but this amount has never been enough to theoretically verify these substances.
"Compared to Chen's Eternal Universe Particle Science, what I have studied is simply negligible."
Chen Mengchuan smiled, "Mr. Marshall seems to be a very humble and cautious person. If you have time, why don't we sit down and have an in-depth communication. I don't know if Mr. Marshall has the time."
"Okay, let's go and chat in your office." Möbius said.
Chen Mengchuan looked apologetically at Elon Mars.
"Mr. Musk, I'll excuse you now."
"Chen, go ahead, we will have a lot of time to meet or talk." Elon Musk said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, Möbius, who had been impatient for a long time, started urging again.
"Toni, if you have time, let's come together and talk about some interesting things." Chen Mengchuan smiled and sent a message to Toni through a small phone device.
As a result, when the three of them walked to Chen Mengchuan's personal testing area, Toni was already standing at the door waiting for them.
"Dr. Marshall!" Toni greeted with a smile.
Chen Mengchuan rolled his eyes. "You already know each other?"
"Yes, we met once a few days ago and exchanged a few words."
"Then no need to introduce, let's go together." Chen Mengchuan led a few people into his experimental area.
After several people sat down respectively, Chen Mengchuan looked at Marshall calmly and fell into a brief thought.
The current method of artificially producing antimatter on Earth is to use accelerated particles from high-end physical equipment to hit fixed targets to produce antiparticles, which are then decelerated and synthesized. The energy required for this process is very large, and is much greater than the energy released by annihilation. The rate of generating antimatter is also very low, but at least the research direction is already available, and it is not a project created out of thin air.
"Dr. Marshall, we want to use the annihilation effect of matter and antimatter and the feasibility of converting mass into energy to develop antimatter beams and apply them to develop planet-level antimatter weapons. I wonder if you are interested in joining us!"
Chen Mengchuan Get straight to the point!
