Antimatter Generator

The next day, when Xiao He came to the Special Response Department for training and to hand in his research findings from the previous day, Xiao He also measured his physical data.

"Wow? 1.8 meters? You've grown two centimeters." Cui Man looked at his stats curiously and said, "This must be the effect of the AME Probiotic Virus, right? It's unleashed the hidden potential within your body."

"Really? They're pinning all the credit on it." Xiao He frowned. "That thing almost killed me back then, what is this? Compensation?"

"Really?" Cui Man said seriously. "I've heard that recently there have been many cases in our country where people who are already adults have grown taller. I think the AME Probiotic Virus can probably stimulate the potential within the human body. For example, you could have grown to 1.8 meters tall, but due to environmental factors such as insufficient nutrition or poor posture, you didn't grow that tall."

"Ah... I see." Xiao He suddenly realized.

"However, you stop growing taller after a certain age," Cui Man smiled smugly. "But even so, the average height in our country is much closer to that of OM Country."

"Why am I not growing taller? I'm still only 1.61 meters tall... I really want long legs." Ye Wanqing said, looking at her height data with dissatisfaction. "Luckily, I've lost weight down to 49 kilograms..."

"He's 1.8 meters tall, weighs 75 kilograms, and has a body fat percentage of 12%," Cui Man said with interest, patting Xiao He's body. "Look at this muscular physique! Such results in just three months! You've really gone all out for your girlfriend!"

"He didn't do it for me..." Ye Wanqing muttered softly, glancing at Xiao He, her heart fluttering: he really does have a great physique now.

"It's all for your own good!" Xiao He thought angrily to himself, even though it was something he learned incidentally during training.

"Judging from previous AME Virus rates, it's estimated that three-quarters of our country's population carries this Beneficial Virus, so our next generation, and every generation after that, will benefit from it." Cui Man sighed, resting her chin on her hand. "Sigh, our country's researchers are going to be incredibly busy lately."

"Because of the Plastic Decomposition Plan?" Xiao He asked curiously, putting his shoes back on.

"Not only that," Cui Man said, counting on her fingers with difficulty, "It's the Miracle Factor, the AME Probiotic Virus, the 'Universe Origin Algorithm' derived from the 'NP=P?' problem, and now there's a Plastic Decomposition Plan. Our country's top mathematicians, medical scientists, physicists, and chemists have been extremely busy lately."

"Is that so?" Xiao He asked with some sympathy. "Then... how about I take my time with the next question?"

"Please don't!" Cui Man raised her hand to stop him. "Those top students are so happy every day. I heard that some of them cry with joy while looking at your manuscripts every day, and some even laugh out loud in their sleep at night... Just watching them do their research every day, I can feel their happiness. It's like their lives are already perfect."

"Sister Man is quite the old Versailles..." Xiao He thought to himself, glancing sideways at Cui Man. Then Cui Man enthusiastically took his arm and smiled, "Come on, tell me, when will this 'Environmental Energy Problem' be solved?"

"This time it might take a little longer, as there's a lot of content, and we'll need to come in for training from time to time," Xiao He replied.

"It's alright, it's alright, they're already busy anyway. But let's show them your manuscript first, let them taste the benefits, and also so that the country can prepare in advance and allocate manpower to form a special research group." Cui Man said, leading Xiao He back to the training room.

At that moment, Xie Haining was training one-on-one with Xia Yu. Seeing them approach, the two greeted them, "Brother Xiao, Wanqing, Sister Man." "Chief Cui, Little Xiao, Xiao Ye."

"Are you alright?" Xie Haining patted Xiao He on the shoulder and laughed, "My life depends on you."

"Don't worry, the level of Miracle Factor in his body is even higher than before," Cui Man comforted him with a smile. "It's probably because the AME Probiotic Virus is still in his body, so his immune system doesn't dare to relax. I heard he also eats a lot every day, probably because his body is storing energy, ready for this possible 'fierce battle'."

"So that's why he can eat so much and not gain weight? It's so unfair..." Ye Wanqing muttered softly. Cui Man poked her cheek, "But you're the same. The AME Probiotic Virus in your body is also helping you absorb a lot of calories."

At this point, Cui Man cleared her throat. "Alright, let's get down to business. We've investigated a Mutant these past few days, and I hope Darling can go with Xia Yu next."

"You want me to come along too? Is the enemy dangerous?" Xiao He asked curiously. Cui Man smiled, "Quite the opposite, he's no threat at all... You'll see when the time comes. It's just about picking him up; there's no need for fighting."

"If there's no need for a fight, why do we still need Old Xiao to go?" Ye Wanqing asked curiously.

"Because the target is still an eight-year-old child, and children's favorite characters are superheroes like Yinglong." Cui Man smiled. "Let Xiao He go over and give him some courage; he might be more willing to cooperate with us. You know, his abilities are very powerful, a crucial ability for us. We must ensure his safety."

"Without enemies, how can I trigger my ability?" Xiao He frowned.

"You don't need to fight this time, you're just picking him up," Cui Man explained. "That child's abilities aren't suited for combat; neither his physical abilities nor his Superpower pose any threat. But just in case, let's change his name. We can also see which of your enhancements that child can trigger."

"What exactly is his Superpower?" Xiao He asked, puzzled. Cui Man smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you after you receive it."

"Still keeping me in suspense..." Xiao He muttered in dissatisfaction.

"No, it's because everyone's Superpower are only shown at first glance; the actual effects need further research," Cui Man with a sweet smile.

Just then, a researcher in his thirties stumbled in. He was bald at a young age, suggesting he was intelligent. His name tag read "Zhang Chuan." He clutched the USB drive Xiao He had brought, his face contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot as if he'd seen a demon. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chief Cui, this... this is a prototype design for an Antimatter Generator!"

Xiao He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: He was so shocked that he swore...

He had only heard of antimatter, but he didn't really understand what it was all about.

"Tell me more specifically," Cui Man said, arms crossed, with great interest.

Zhang Chuan explained to the people present, "Antimatter is the opposite of matter. When antimatter comes into contact with matter, it will cause annihilation, canceling each other out and generating enormous energy."

"I remember, antimatter seems to have already been developed by humans, right?" Cui Man asked curiously, arms crossed.

"Indeed..." Zhang Chuan adjusted his glasses and nodded, "But with humanity's current capabilities, the amount of antimatter we can produce is far too small. It can only be used for theoretical research and cannot be practically applied to daily life or warfare."

As he spoke, Zhang Chuan held up the USB drive in his hand. "However, the knowledge inside is different! This generator system contains an antimatter generation system. You only need a little electricity to start this system, and it can synthesize antimatter on its own and use the energy formed by the contact between antimatter and matter to generate electricity. The generated electricity can power its own operation, and the remaining electricity can be used for domestic or industrial power!"

He looked at the USB drive in his hand with a look of awe and said, "This is... the whispers of the devil!"

"Is it really that exaggerated..." Xiao He frowned, a little embarrassed.

"Yinglong!" Zhang Chuan said excitedly, grabbing Xiao He, "Do you know what's most terrifying about antimatter? It's its energy utilization rate, which is as high as 100%! Do you understand!"

As he spoke, Zhang Chuan explained, "You know about hydrogen bombs, right? They rely on the enormous energy generated by nuclear fusion, but the energy utilization rate of nuclear fusion is only 0.1%! Now you can understand how terrifying antimatter is, right? If antimatter were used as a weapon, fifty kilograms of antimatter could reduce the entire Earth to ashes! Pay attention!"

At this point, Zhang Chuan's expression turned ferocious. "I'm talking about blowing it to ashes, wiping the entire Earth out of the universe! Not some kind of radiation!"

"Fifty kilograms is enough?!" Xiao He asked in astonishment. "Isn't this thing extremely dangerous?"

"Yes! Now you understand, right?! How terrifying this thing is!" Zhang Chuan said excitedly, "But... if, just if! this design could actually be used for power generation in an ideal way, its energy conversion rate could be as high as 80%! Do you know what that means?"

Those present shook their heads.

"Please describe it briefly," Cui Man raised her hand and gestured.

Zhang Chuan touched his bald head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Our country's annual electricity consumption is approximately eight trillion kilowatt-hours. Based on the 80% energy conversion rate stated on this blueprint, one gram of antimatter can produce about 1.5 x 10^14 kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough to supply our country's electricity needs for two years..."

"One gram of antimatter... could supply our country's electricity for two years!?" Xiao He asked in astonishment. "Then how many grams of antimatter can this power plant in the design produce?"

"This generator can produce one gram of antimatter per month," Zhang Chuan explained, his voice trembling slightly. "And do you know what's terrifying? Such a power plant only needs about 100 square meters of space, and the only material required is carbon, which is extremely cheap and inexhaustible. There's no need to worry about any country monopolizing it. With this, we can light up the whole world!"
