    Zhiqiu remembered the famous dualism.

    ¡°Since 1918,¡± Momo continued, ¡°scientists have proven that two kinds of matter were produced in the Big Bang. One is the material that we see on Earth that makes up the rocks, trees, and humans.  of matter; the other is its opposite - identical to matter in every respect except that its particle charge is exactly the opposite of that of matter."

    Chen Luoyu opened his mouth and said, as if he had figured out what was going on. His voice seemed to tremble suddenly: "But in actual operation, it is difficult to store negative matter, and what about the mutual cancellation effects?"

    "My father built a polarity-reversed vacuum. He sucked the positrons out of the negative matter from the accelerator before they decayed."

    Chen Luoyu frowned.  "But a vacuum also sucks matter out. There's no way to separate the two particles."

    "My father also built a magnetic field. Under the influence of a magnetic field, matter particles move to the right along the magnetic field curve, and negative matter particles move to the left. They move in two completely opposite directions."

    Immediately, the doubts in Chen Luoyu's heart dissipated.  He raised his head and looked at Momo in surprise.  Suddenly, he coughed uncontrollably.  "Unbelievable" He wiped the corners of his mouth, "But" It seemed that he was still unwilling to accept this view.  "Even if the polarity is reversed and the vacuum effect is reversed, these storage devices are still made of matter after all. How can negative matter be stored in a storage device made of matter? Once the negative matter touches the container, it will immediately and quickly¡ª¡ª"

    "The sample will not touch the container wall at all." This problem played right into Momo's wish.  "It's suspended in the container. We named these reservoirs 'negative matter traps' because the traps literally bind the negative matter particles, forcing them to float in the center and at a fairly safe distance from the walls of the container.  "

    "Levitation? Then how is it possible?"

    "Under the interaction of two crossed magnetic fields. Come over here, please take a look."

    Momo walked to the other end of the room.  A large electronic instrument was brought in.  This exquisite device reminded Zhiqiu of a toy ray gun - a scope was mounted on the broad-mouthed barrel like a cannon, and a bunch of tangled electronic devices hung underneath.  Momo pointed the observation port at one of the storage devices.  He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the eyepiece of the instrument, and calibrated the lens with his hands while looking at it.  Then, she leaned out of the way and motioned for Chen Luoyu to come over.

    Chen Luoyu seemed a little confused about what to do.  "Do you store visible negative matter?"

    ¡°Five thousand nanograms,¡± Momo said, ¡°a droplet containing millions of positrons.¡±

    "How many millions? No matter where you are, you will never be able to collect so much."

    "It's xenon," Momo said bluntly. "He accelerated the particle flow through the xenon jet and removed the electrons. My father insisted on doing this step under covert conditions. But at the same time, pure electrons were injected into the accelerator."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I really wonder if they are talking in English.

    Chen Luoyu was also dumbfounded, and the wrinkles on his forehead suddenly deepened.  He let out a short breath and went limp as if he'd been shot.  "Theoretically, this could be"

    Momo nodded, "Yes. This generates a lot of negative matter."

    Look at the storage in front of you.  Chen Luoyu straightened his body, pointed his eyes at the observer doubtfully, and stared attentively.  For a long time he said nothing.  Finally, he sat down, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed.  He whispered: "God you really did it."

    Momo was quite proud, nodded and said, "My father did it."

    "II really don't know what to say."

    Momo turned around and faced Zhiqiu.  "Do you want to take a look too?" She motioned Zhiqiu to the observer.

    Zhiqiu stepped forward and thought to himself.  What exactly will you see?  Standing five centimeters away, the storage unit looked empty.  Whatever was inside must be pitifully small.  Zhiqiu aimed his eyes at the observer. After a while, the image became clear.

    He saw it.

    This little thing did not stay at the bottom of the container as he imagined, but floated in the center - suspended in mid-air - a small ball shining with mercury.  As if under the influence of magic, it hovers in the air and flips, with a metallic luster shining on its surface.  This scene reminded Zhiqiu of the weightless water droplets he had seen in videos before.  Although he knew the ball was small, he could see every fluctuation in the tiny droplet as it slowly rotated in the air.

    "It is indeed hanging." He said excitedly.

      "It's best to float," Momo replied, "Negative matter is extremely unstable. From an energetic point of view, negative matter is the mirror image of matter. At the moment of encounter, the two will immediately destroy and cancel each other. Therefore, negative matter  Isolating matter from matter is a big challenge. And everything on earth is made of matter, so when we store negative matter, we have to make sure it doesn't touch anything - not even air."

    Zhiqiu was shocked and worked in a vacuum.

    "These negative matter traps," Chen Luoyu rubbed the bottom of a storage device with his pale fingers and asked with surprise on his face, "Are they all designed by your father?"

    "Actually," Momo said, "they are my designs."

    Chen Luoyu raised his head in surprise.

    Momo said humbly: "After my father made the first batch of negative matter samples, he had a headache for a while about the storage problem. Later, he adopted my suggestion and stored the negative matter in a vacuum-sealed nanosynthesis container.  And place electromagnets with opposite magnetic poles at both ends.¡±

    "It seems like your father doesn't have enough brains either."

    "That's not the case. I just borrowed this method from nature. When the man-of-war jellyfish, nicknamed the Portuguese Man-of-War, preys, it uses its nematocysts to inject venom into the prey's body, and then surrounds it with its tentacles. And negative matter  The principle of the trap is the same. Each reservoir has two electromagnetic heads, one at each end. Their magnetic fields with opposite magnetic poles intersect in the center of the reservoir, holding the material and suspending it in mid-air."

    Zhiqiu quickly glanced at the storage device.  Negative matter really floats in the vacuum and touches nothing.  Chen Luoyu is right, this is a work of genius.

    "Where is the power source for the magnet?" Chen Luoyu asked.

    Momo raised her hand and pointed, "It's in the support under the storage device. The base of the storage device continuously supplies power to ensure the normal operation of the electromagnetic field."

    ¡°What if the magnetic field runs out of electricity?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s very simple, the suspension state is destroyed, the negative matter falls to the bottom of the container, and is destroyed instantly.¡±

    Zhiqiu pricked up his ears.  "Destruction?" The word didn't sound right to my ears.

    Momo didn¡¯t look worried.  "Yes, when negative matter meets matter, the two cancel out instantly. Physicists name this process 'destruction'."

    Zhiqiu has great enlightenment.  "oh!"

    "This is the most common phenomenon in nature. The collision of matter particles and negative matter particles will release two new particles - photons. To the naked eye, photons are just a bunch of tiny light rays."

    Zhiqiu has read a little bit about photons, photons - light particles - the purest form of energy.  "In other words, if negative matter falls, a small cluster of light will be released?"

    Momo shrugged.  "It depends on how small you think it is. Now, let me demonstrate." She reached for the storage device and tried to unscrew it from the base.

    Chen Luoyu was shocked, and rushed forward with lightning speed, pushing Momo away.  He shouted loudly: "Momo! Are you crazy!"

    Chen Luoyu actually stood up tremblingly with his two atrophied legs.  His face turned pale and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Momo, don't touch it!"

    Zhiqiu, who was standing aside, was startled by the frightened director.

    ¡°That¡¯s five thousand nanograms!¡± Chen Luoyu said, ¡°What if you destroy the electromagnetic field¡ª¡ª¡±

    "Director," Momo said firmly, "there is no danger in doing this. For safety reasons, each negative matter trap has been installed with a safety device - that is, a backup battery. Even if the storage device is removed, the sample will remain intact  Suspended in mid-air, motionless."

    Chen Luoyu was dubious.  After hesitating for a long time, he sat back in the wheelchair.

    "Once the negative matter collector leaves the charger," Momo said, "the backup battery will immediately start on its own, and the power can last for a full twenty-four hours, just like a car's fuel tank." She sensed Zhiqiu's uneasiness and continued  Said: "The properties of negative matter are indeed amazing, Zhiqiu, so it is not without danger. A sample of just ten milligrams of negative matter - as big as a grain of sand - has the energy equivalent to two hundred tons of conventional rocket fuel."

    Zhiqiu felt dizzy.

    "This energy is thousands of times more powerful than nuclear energy. It is 100% efficient energy. It will become tomorrow's energy star entirely due to its strength. There are no by-products, no radiation, and no pollution. It only takes a few grams to provide a large amount of energy."  Momentum a city needs for a week.¡±

    How many grams?  Zhiqiu took several steps back in fear.

    "Don't worry," Momo said, "The sample here is very small - only one millionth of a gram. There is basically no danger." She reached out and grabbed a storage container.Try unscrewing it from the base.

    Momo shivered and stayed still.  Only a "beep" sound was heard, the memory was unscrewed, and the electronic display screen at the bottom was immediately activated. The red numbers flashed and the countdown began.

    Zhiqiu stared at the dwindling timer, feeling that it was a time bomb.

    "This kind of battery," Momo explained, "can provide power for the negative matter trap for a full twenty-four hours. And as long as you plug it back into the charging station, it can be recharged immediately. This is to provide the negative matter trap with a  For the safety of the collector, of course, it is also for the convenience of transportation.¡±

    "Transportation?" For Chen Luoyu, this was undoubtedly a blow to the head, "Are you still transporting this damn thing outside?" (This website wwwcom Your support is my biggest motivation.)
