Chapter 172 It is impossible for Trisolarans to have strong interaction materials!

"Understood." Sai nodded and said, "The way humans create antimatter today is by screening antiprotons and positrons from high-energy particles in the sun, right?"

"Yes." Lin Yun nodded and said: "It is so inefficient, so it is difficult for anti-matter weapons and anti-matter fuel to be popularized now. Maybe it can be realized when production expands in the future."

"How should the captured antimatter be stored? How long can it be stored?" Sai asked curiously.

"In the magnetic field, we use a giant superconducting container with a vacuum environment inside, and use the magnetic field to suspend the antimatter in the center to prevent the antimatter from coming into contact with the outer shell of the container."

"This kind of thing is called a magnetic field warehouse. A standard magnetic field warehouse can store about 1 ton of antimatter, but its energy consumption is staggering." Ding Yi explained.

"How small can the magnetic field warehouse that stores antimatter be made?" Say asked.

“How small do you want it to be?”

"The smaller, the better. It is best to make it as small as a bullet slug, so that it can be fired directly as a bullet."

"Hahaha, you are so funny." After hearing this, Ding Yi couldn't help but smile at the amateur.

"This is a technology that will only be possible in the future." Lin Yun explained: "Even if such a small magnetic field warehouse is built, it is very unsafe. A slight deviation is no less than the explosion of a fusion torpedo."

"Besides, it can't be made that small. That's why a magnetic field warehouse can store a full ton of antimatter, because we can't make a smaller magnetic field warehouse." The commander of the Solar System Fleet explained.

"Then make it smaller so that the antimatter can be weaponized," Sai said.

"The production of antimatter itself determines that it is difficult to weaponize, and compared to modern weapons, pure antimatter annihilation is not a powerful weapon." The commander of the Solar System Fleet advised.

"It's easy to increase antimatter production. Just build more antimatter production bases near the sun. It's just a matter of spending money anyway."

"As for anti-matter weapons, one advantage over traditional energy weapons and kinetic energy weapons is that their annihilation effect can be used against thinner armor," said Sai.

After hearing this, everyone became curious and waited for Sai's next speech. Although she was not a professional theoretical scientist, she was indeed an outstanding military strategist in the world.

You must know that the current combat policies of the three major fleets have never deviated from Say's Chang'an Deep Black Combat Method. It can be said that Say is the founder of human space military science.

"My thinking is this." Sai paused and said: "In order to reduce the quality, the Trisolaran fleet will probably not be equipped with too thick armor protection. Instead, it will be equipped with a layer of high-performance materials as armor."

"This high-performance material is like aerogel. Its density and total mass are not very large, and its defensive capabilities are very strong. It does not need to be very thick to withstand most human weapons."

"And as long as this material is made of normal matter, even super-solid matter will have an annihilation reaction with antimatter, right?"

"This speculation is indeed very reasonable. When the Trisolaran fleet launches an interstellar expedition, it must reduce the mass as much as possible. However, the Trisolarans may use electromagnetic shields to protect against antimatter." Lin Yun and the commander of the Solar System Fleet nodded.

"That's such a waste. In the eyes of the Trisolaran fleet, they are here to colonize the new world. Naturally, they have to save antimatter fuel, and they will most likely not be equipped with an energy defense system that consumes astonishing amounts of energy."

"What's more, even if they use electromagnetic shields to shield antimatter, we still have a way to put antimatter into artillery shells with superconducting storage capabilities, and it can replace fusion warheads as detonating warheads." Say said.

"I understand." Lin Yun nodded and said, "You want to use the annihilation effect of antimatter to hit the antimatter directly on the armor of the battleship, so that the armor of the Trisolaran battleship will be slowly consumed, right?"

"Yes, unless the Trisolaran spacecraft is made of antimatter or negative matter, it will be annihilated by the antimatter." Sai said.

"Then if the armor of the Trisolaran warships is really made of antimatter, I mean they use antimatter shields as external reactive armor?" asked the staff of the Solar System Fleet.

"This possibility is not high. The Trisolaran fleet already lacks antimatter and even has to rely on the magnetic field system to collect antimatter in space. Instead of using antimatter as a shield, it is better to use it as fuel." Sai shook his head.

After hearing this, the man immediately understood that this was equivalent to a starving person wasting food. This situation was impossible to happen.

"Then do you think the Trisolaran Fleet will use any materials that are both strong and lightweight, super metallic materials?" the Chief of Staff of the Solar System Fleet asked curiously.

"There is no common sense answer. The nuclei of electron-degenerate matter are closely arranged, and their density is too high, which does not meet the low mass mentioned by Marshal Say." Lin Yun replied.

"Let me think about it. For example, use strong interaction materials as battleship armor, which takes into account the requirements of defense and low quality. This also makes antimatter annihilation useful." Sai suggested.

"Impossible." Ding Yi shook his head first and said: "Strong interaction force can only work at short distances. The difficulty of making materials with strong interaction force is no less than making the eight planets and the sun into a static frame."

"It's really hard to say. Who knows what technology the Trisolarans have that is more advanced than humans." Sai retorted, but everyone present didn't agree with her.

"Marshal Sai, you are indeed very expert in the military field, but do you think too highly of the technical level of the Trisolarans?" said the Commander of the Solar System Fleet.

"They can create almost magical things like sophons. Who knows what other things these alien compressed towels can create that we can't even imagine." Sai said firmly.

"Then let's assume that the Trisolaran fleet is really made of strong interaction materials, so you plan to use anti-matter weapons to annihilate the enemy's armor?"

"Yes." Sai continued: "I have an idea, which is to load the antimatter into a small superconducting container, and the fleet will use an electromagnetic gun to launch the superconducting container."

"When the superconducting container approaches a hostile target, such as a Trisolaran battleship, the container will create a magnetic field and eject the antimatter towards the hostile target, causing annihilation."

"Under such circumstances, even if the Trisolarans really use strong interaction materials for armor, we can rely on the abundant resources of the three solar systems to slowly wear away the armor of the Trisolaran warships with antimatter."

Of course, antimatter weapons are actually prepared to deal with water droplets.

Although Sai knew that in order to act as a deterrent and allow Zhang Beihai to escape, Shuidi must show off his power, but this did not mean that all three fleets must be annihilated.

All we need to do is make humans realize that water droplets are invincible. The Chang'an Deep Black Plan was previously proposed to prevent fleets from swarming up and being killed by water droplets.
