Capital.

Some mysterious place.

Liu Kun's subordinate~the head came to the office door and knocked on the door lightly.

Early in the morning, he had just woken up when he received a call from him, asking him to come to the office immediately.

My heart was a little nervous. What was so urgent?

"Please come in!"

The familiar voice of the Great Elder came. He pushed open the door and walked in. He found that not only the Great Elder was there, but also Zhang Qin from the Ministry of Science and Technology and Li Cun from the Ministry of Energy. So early, these two people actually came too?

"Great Elder, are you looking for me?"

Looking at the top leader of the Finance Ministry standing by the desk, the old man smiled faintly and said.

"Sit. I have received a letter here, please take it and take a look."

Liu Du~The Chief was stunned for a moment, then walked forward and took the letter from the old man.

I turned around and looked at the two colleagues beside me, and found that they nodded. They had obviously seen the content here, and I was even more confused. What exactly was written here?

He found the sofa and sat down, opened the envelope, and saw the title part, his brows became deeper and deeper.

I never expected it to be this person!

Liu Feng?

I have no intersection with him at all.

After watching it, I realized what was going on.

Dear everyone XX:

I believe you have heard that our country has started antimatter projects.

In the latest experiment in the Beijing Positive and Negative Electron Collider Laboratory of the Institute of High Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, our researchers have successfully created 1 mg of anti-hydrogen atoms and stored them for more than 24 hours.

This research result makes me foresee that in the not distant future, antimatter resources will become a new and important energy source, antimatter weapons and antimatter bombs, and will also be used by us.

This new type of energy will be more efficient and cleaner than all the energy we are familiar with;

This new type of weapon will also be more deterrent than all the weapons we have; even hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs will be eclipsed in the face of such cheap, efficient, and powerful weapons.

Theoretically, 1g of antimatter can release 180 billion KJ of energy, which is equivalent to the explosion equivalent of two to three Hiroshima atomic bombs; at a ratio of 50%, it is also equivalent to producing 25 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.

From this estimate, only 110 kilograms of antimatter are enough to meet the needs of China throughout the year.

Putting aside future technological progress, the cost of laboratory production of antimatter has been reduced to 100 million/g by us. If industrial production can be achieved, it can be reduced to about 1 million to 5 million/g. Moreover, with the further expansion of the production scale, there is still a lot of room for reduction in this cost.

If we can reduce the cost to 5 million/g, the cost of power generation of antimatter will be the same as that of traditional thermal power generation. If we can reduce the cost to 1 million/g, the cost can become one-fifth of the cost of traditional thermal power, or even lower.

From an energy perspective, the birth of this clean and efficient energy will completely change the energy structure of modern society and the production and lifestyle of our society.

From the perspective of national security, the birth of antimatter weapons will change the traditional way of combat in the entire world and even change the geopolitical pattern of the entire world.

From the future of mankind, spacecraft powered by antimatter will fly over the earth, the solar system, and even the Milky Way, and human society will enter the interstellar era!

Here, as a scholar and a Chinese, I have the obligation to remind everyone XX: China has stood at the turning point of the times, and the door to a new era is right in front of us. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is already close!

Of course, as for whether to open this door or even be able to open it at multiple speeds, the decision depends entirely on you - how much price you can pay!

After reading this, Liu Bu~’s long mouth had already opened into an “O” shape, which was shocked!

Antimatter technology?

Isn't this something that only exists in science fiction movies?

Now they have not even realized the controlled nuclear fusion technology, so what the hell is this antimatter technology?

And it has been implemented in the laboratory?

It wouldn't be April Fool's Day today!

He looked up at the two colleagues around him, and then at the calm and composed elder, but he had to believe that the things depicted in this letter were very likely to be true!

With a shocked mood, Liu Kun's subordinate continued to look back.

The following content is a few charts, which detailed the implementation time of various antimatter projects, the timetable for the commercialization of antimatter technology, and how much money it needs to be invested!

Don’t have 888, or 668, but 998, but the unit is just 100 million!

Seeing this huge number, Liu Bu~'s long eyebrows twitched violently a few times.

It turns out that in the whole letter, all the words are "boasting" about how good the prospects of antimatter technology are, how important it is, how it changes the world!

However, from this huge number, he only saw three words - "Give money quickly."

Regardless of whether the things in it can be realized, he remembered that just the newly invested super collider project of their Institute of High Energy Physics was a real investment of 100 billion!

Come again?

99.8 billion?

You high-physics people, you might as well allocate all scientific research funds from all over China to your own knot!

Liu Du~The chief only felt his hands trembling. This is not a letter. This is simply a mountain of money!

Moreover, the more he looked back, the more his hands trembled:

99.8 billion is just an appetizer - just the money for an antimatter power reactor. Behind this are antimatter engines, antimatter weapons, and antimatter bombs...

It costs about 200 billion in total, so just kill me!

After putting down the letter in his hand, Minister Liu pressed the temples on both sides and shook his head with great headache.

It’s not that he can’t afford so much money, but whether this plan is feasible!

If it is really feasible, he will admit it too!

"200 billion, Professor Liu is so good at spending money..." Liu Zhenmao opened his mouth and finally sighed, "Great Elder, is this true? If it weren't for what you always gave me, I might have wanted to throw it directly into the trash can."

Indeed, what Liu Feng described in the letter was so amazing!

What kind of monster is this so fucking? He doesn't even make drafts.

Change China's energy structure?

Changing the geopolitical landscape of the world?

Directly let humans enter the interstellar era!

Is this possible?!

If it weren't for the letter being given to him by the Great Elder, if it weren't for the owner of the letter being Liu Feng, he might have thrown it directly into the trash can.

Looking at the Liu Duke with a complicated expression, the old man smiled and asked, "How is it? Do you feel that you should pay for the money, or do you feel heartbroken?"

Liu Duke~Chief said with a wry smile: "It's so sci-fi! Professor Liu's plan is like an alien invading the earth... I don't know why he is so sure... But if it is true, don't say 200 billion, it's 2 trillion or 20 trillion, our country can support it!"

In fact, in his eyes, antimatter power generation and other things are not important at all. What is important is antimatter weapons that can change the geopolitical landscape and antimatter spacecraft that can enable humans to move towards the interstellar era!

Although China is a major energy consumer country and consumes almost half of the world's total coal consumption every year, China does not have much of anything, but a lot of coal. Even if it continues to consume this, it will be enough for China to use it for hundreds of years!

Therefore, the energy crisis is not the most important thing. What is important is that it can allow China to lead the earth and lead the future interstellar era!

Before, China missed the Age of Discovery, which directly caused the Chinese nation to sink by more than 300 years, and is still paying for the original "backwardness" until now;

If, as Professor Liu said in his letter, a spacecraft powered by antimatter can be realized, China will surely rise in the interstellar era and will once again stand at the peak of mankind's leaders!

If all this can be realized, what does 200 billion mean?

"It's really unbelievable," the old man nodded, paused for a moment, and said, "But Zhang Qin brought us this letter, which is indeed true."

After hearing this, Liu Du~Chief looked slightly moved and hurriedly looked at Zhang Qin.

"Yes, I saw the success of large-scale antimatter experimental production on site last night. I received news early this morning that antimatter storage technology has achieved initial results - the entire antimatter project can be fully launched."

Although the Presbyterian Council had approved the start of anti-matter projects before, the issue of funding, which involves hundreds of billions and billions, no one above would frown. Liu Feng could apply as soon as he wanted to apply, but if it involved more than ten billions of funds, how could they not make any complaints?

And Liu Feng's letter was actually a shot of a heart-warming agent he gave to them!

Obviously, this time he succeeded again.

"I understand. I personally reminded the appropriation!" Liu Duke~No. ~ nodded with certainty.

Although he was still a little confused, how could he not understand the meaning of the Great Elder? Two very certain words - give money!

"Well," the elder nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Zhang Qin and Li Eun, and asked knowingly, "By the way, how is the domestic controlled nuclear fusion energy project going?"

Minister Li shook his head awkwardly. You know, he has always had high expectations for controlled nuclear fusion, and the support is quite strong. This time...

He sighed in his heart and could only answer truthfully: "Although they have achieved a lot of achievements not long ago, according to their plan, it is impossible for controlled nuclear fusion energy to be commercially operated within at least 30 years."

So the old man shook his head: "Then let it go for the time being. Didn't Professor Liu say that he was short of soldiers and generals? Let them support some people... "
Chapter completed!
