Chapter 41 Planning
"He's awake!"
"How do you feel now?"
"Is the mission accomplished?"
"How much is this?"
"Can you hear us?"
"."
Amidst the noisy sound, Zhao Siyuan's eyes gradually focused. He was in a daze for a few seconds, then pushed away the medical staff's hand and sat up with his body propped up.
"Wait a minute, leave me alone."
He said holding his head.
Tu Guangyun waved his hand silently, signaling everyone to stay quiet.
He walked over to Jack.
"The first time you had a spiritual connection with Ava, was it like this when you woke up?"
Tu Guangyun said with concern.
Jack nodded and said, "As long as you are conscious, it will be fine. The reason why your mind is confused is because you just escaped from Ava's consciousness and suddenly returned to your own small body from such a great spirit, which created a sense of dislocation."
Hearing what Jack said, Tu Guangyun felt relieved.
Now there's only one question left.
Is Ava willing to help another Earth solve environmental pollution?
Tu Guangyun looked at his watch and waited.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Siyuan finally recovered and could barely communicate.
Tu Guangyun asked: "How is you doing?"
"I'm fine." Zhao Siyuan murmured, "It's so shocking. The gap between us and Ava is countless times greater than the gap between ants and us. Ava is so great!"
"He is so great!"
"I understand why Jack betrayed RDA!"
Tu Guangyun frowned slightly.
"I'm not brainwashed!"
Zhao Siyuan seemed to have guessed what Tu Guangyun was thinking, he emphasized excitedly.
Tu Guangyun shrugged his shoulders.
He thought that people who had been brainwashed said that they had not been brainwashed. After returning this time, he must arrange a psychological test for Zhao Siyuan, whether Zhao Siyuan was happy or not.
Zhao Siyuan said excitedly: "I can't remember what I saw, but I remember that those scenes merged into a colorful silk satin, wrapping me and floating in a long, long river."
"That feels so wonderful!"
Zhao Siyuan said incoherently: "It's like a baby in the mother's amniotic fluid, yes, that's what it feels like!"
"You should experience it too!"
“You’ll understand how I feel if you’ve experienced it!”
"Haha! Hahaha!"
The more Zhao Siyuan spoke, the more excited he became, and his tone became higher and higher.
Tu Guangyun frowned. He grabbed Zhao Siyuan's hand and shouted loudly: "Calm down!"
Zhao Siyuan was stunned.
Tu Guangyun turned to Jack and asked, "Is this normal?"
Jack pursed his lips and said uncertainly: "It should be considered normal. It has something to do with his personality. Is he an avid science enthusiast?"
"If so, it wouldn't be surprising."
Avid science enthusiast.
Tu Guangyun recalled for a while, then took out his tablet and looked up Zhao Siyuan's personal file.
He read it word for word, and finally found this comment in the remarks column - Zhao Siyuan has an extraordinary love for his subject, even more than his family.

But after returning home, psychological testing will still be done.
Tu Guangyun asked Zhao Siyuan, "Let's not talk about your feelings. Let's talk about the mission. Have you contacted Ava and has she agreed?"
Zhao Siyuan was silent for two seconds and said: "I didn't see Ava, but I saw Dr. Grace."
Dr. Grace is a plot character in the movie who is absorbed by Ava.
"She said Ava would like to help us."
"But Ava needs us to send a Na'vi to that Earth and sow some Pandora plant seeds on that Earth."
Tu Guangyun asked while recording: "Did Dr. Grace say which Pandora plant seeds should be sown?"
Zhao Siyuan shook his head.
"In that case, let's report it to the superior."
"Eight hundred and twenty-five planetary engines have been transformed into antimatter factories."
“The renovations are still ongoing.”
"It is expected that within a year at the latest, we will be able to transform all the planned 5,000 planetary engines into antimatter factories."
The scientific adviser is reporting the situation to Hao Xiaoxi.
There are three ways to obtain antimatter.
The first is to use a large particle collider to first accelerate microscopic particles to close to the speed of light, and then use these microscopic particles to collide with other microscopic particles.
After the impact, some new particles will be produced, including very rare antimatter particles.
This method was more commonly used decades ago.
At that time, humans had just discovered the existence of antimatter, and there was no breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology. They could only use large particle collider to prepare a small amount of antihydrogen nuclei and antihelium nuclei in the laboratory, mainly for scientific research.
The second is to collect free natural antimatter particles in the universe, but the efficiency of this collection method is horribly low, because antimatter will naturally undergo an annihilation reaction with positive matter, and there are very few naturally occurring antimatter particles in the universe.
Maybe there are natural antimatter sources in the universe, but humans are not yet sure where these antimatter sources are.
Only by finding these antimatter sources will collecting natural antimatter become mainstream.
The third is to use the nearly infinite energy of nuclear fusion reactions to produce antimatter through a series of complex equations such as the CNO cycle.
This path consumes the most energy.
However, antimatter can be produced on a large scale as long as the energy consumption requirements are met. Therefore, this approach is the mainstream approach for interstellar civilization to prepare antimatter.
Planetary engines are very large fusion reactors.
Today, when the Mountain-Moving Project is no longer needed, scientists can just use the planetary engine as a factory for producing antimatter.
Of course, not all planetary engines will turn into antimatter factories.
The earth's rotation is now being restored, all steering engines are working, and in order to cope with the possible second wormhole travel in the future, some propulsion engines will be retained.
Hao Xiaoxi put down the pen in her hand and asked: "What about production? How long will it take for us to accumulate enough antimatter to travel to the solar system? How much reserve do we have now?"
The scientific advisor replied without hesitation: "If our spacecraft is the same size as the Entrepreneurship Star, the current reserve capacity can meet the round-trip needs of eleven spacecrafts."
He paused and then said: "But there may be forced acceleration and deceleration during the process, such as crossing the asteroid belt, so if you want to set off in the next few days, I suggest that it is best not to exceed three spacecrafts."
In an empty universe, acceleration and deceleration consume the same amount of fuel.
If there are multiple accelerations and decelerations, the fuel that could originally meet the needs of a round trip may be consumed on the way to the solar system.
Hao Xiaoxi nodded slowly.
The reason why she was concerned about this matter was because the coalition government was discussing bilateral interviews with the government of Avatar Earth (later referred to as the Avatar Government).
Both sides are preparing to send a team each to conduct an inspection on the other side's planet.
