Jinzhou City, Lanhe District, Chen family's living room:
Chen Sanke leaned against the window and stared blankly at the night sky like a mentally retarded child.
Beside her was Chen Erke, who was engrossed in playing with her phone.
Ever since she got this phone, she had completely forgotten her interest in drawing. She would either be playing with her phone or charging it.
"Third Eldest, aren't you sleepy?"
Mother Chen yawned after cleaning up the dishes. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I'm not sleepy." Shaking her head, Chen Sanke pointed at the night sky and said, "Big Brother said there will be fireworks."
"Fireworks?" Sipping his tea, Father Chen said, "For safety and environmental protection, who still dares to set off fireworks nowadays?
It's already good enough to hear firecrackers go off.
If you want to see fireworks, you'll find them in the countryside. "
"Uh... Big Brother said there will be."
"You believe whatever he says? Just wait and see."
Scratching her head, Chen Sanke looked at the starry sky and said, "Big Brother... said there will be..."
...
"Everyone should already understand some basic knowledge about antimatter.
I believe you are most concerned about its power and destructiveness. "
In the deep space hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Earth, Chen Yu tapped on the box and said, "If matter of my size collides with antimatter and annihilates it, the terrifying energy generated will be comparable to the energy generated one-millionth of a second after the Big Bang.
"Moreover, any quark may carry one of the three colors of red, green, and blue. Once it explodes, it will definitely be colorful and beautiful to the extreme.
"Hence, compared to nuclear weapons, antimatter explosions are the true art."
After saying so, Chen Yu turned around and looked at Earth below. "It's almost time. Two minutes to midnight.
My story ends here. "
Slowly, Chen Yu reopened the lid of the box. Under the fearful gaze of his audience of 20 million, he reached out and pressed the small round button on the left side of the box.
Squeak —
After an imperceptible vibration, one of the two glass covers unfolded.
Without the "capsule" binding it, Chen Yu carefully held it in his hand.
"Look."
Showing the capsule 360 ° to the camera, Chen Yu tapped on its outer shell and said, "Inside is the assembled antimatter. Is it exquisite?
Are you touched? "
[Crap!
I dare not move!]
[Don't knock it!]
[Calm down...]
[Don't knock it, Daddy!]
[This capsule uses Xiong's old prescription. It can cure all diseases.]
[How much antimatter can this thing contain?]
[_ _ _ _ _!]
"Although I can't see the bullet comments right now, I'm sure someone is asking how much antimatter this small capsule can hold." Holding the black and white capsule in his right hand, Chen Yu stretched out four fingers with his left hand and said, "Four kilograms.
Exactly four kilograms of antimatter, plus matter and shell, the total weight is 9,600 grams, which is about ten kilograms, or ten kilograms. "
"You can't imagine it, right?
The capsule was about the size of my thumb, yet it weighed ten kilograms. Its density was astonishing.
According to the description I received, once this capsule is detonated, the TNT equivalent will be 172 million tons!
It's 12,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima nuclear explosion! "
"That's right.
In the next 30 centuries, Hiroshima will still be the unit of measurement. "
Pausing slightly, Chen Yu glanced at the time displayed on his helmet once more. He then took a deep breath and slowly released his right hand, allowing the capsule to drift away.
"The time now is 23: 02. In less than a minute, 2021 will be here.
Leave the bombs here and wait to be detonated. Let's retreat. "
Closing the lid with a bang, Chen Yu took one last glance at the nearly disappearing black and white capsule. He then flew back to the Interstellar Portal and reestablished the spatial coordinates.
Two seconds later, the spatial link was complete. The scenery behind the metal arch instantly transformed into a neon-lit Beijing city.
After passing through the transparent spatial film, Chen Yu landed on the roof of a high-rise building and returned to Earth.
Before him was a large plaza filled with people.
The giant screen in the center of the plaza was currently broadcasting the New Year's Gala.
Currently, on the bright stage, over a dozen hosts were still reciting their lines while surrounded by numerous actors.
To prevent the Interstellar Portal from getting damaged by the antimatter bombs, Chen Yu immediately disconnected the spatial link. He then raised his head and looked at the quiet night sky. Shrugging, he said, "Look, there aren't even any firecrackers. How is this supposed to be the New Year? It's not lively at all.
However, for the sake of safety, fire hazards, and environmental pollution, it is reasonable for the government to ban firecrackers. "
After saying so, Chen Yu opened the red box once more and stretched out a finger. He then pressed a button on the console and said, "However, as a reasonable citizen, since the parents don't want us to set off firecrackers, we'll just set off the antimatter bombs.
After all, it's the New Year. We have to hear something, right? "
[Yup!
Yup!
Yup!]
[That seems to make sense.]
[That's completely bullsh * t!
Antimatter bombs don't belong to the category of fireworks and firecrackers.]
[Government: We fully support it!
Can you put down the gun now?]
[Sound can't be transmitted in a vacuum. We can't hear anything.]
[You can see the light.]
[Yes, see the light.]
[I'm in the plaza below!
I can see the portal!]
[There's only half a minute left!
Don't look at your phone! Look at the sky!]
[I'm inexplicably excited...]
"In the unforgettable 2020, we will use our sweat to water our harvest and work to move forward!
Bid farewell to 2020, and its magic will inject a majestic momentum into 2021... "
In the distant plaza, the hosts' speeches were nearing their end.
Knowing that time was running out, Chen Yu sped up and said, "I'll emphasize one last time. The antimatter capsule is nearly 200,000 kilometers away from us, which is half the distance between the Earth and the moon. So, please rest assured that there won't be any danger.
Everyone can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"The New Year's Bell is about to ring. No matter how much data was introduced before, it won't be as effective as experiencing its charm.
Now!
Let us raise our heads and look into the deep sky together. Let us witness the most spectacular and brilliant fireworks in human history! "
At the same time, on the Spring Festival Gala's stage, the dignified host waved his left hand and loudly said, "The first spring breeze of 2021 is blowing toward us. Everyone, are you ready?
Let us count down together... "
Host: "Ten."
Slightly tightening his fingers, Chen Yu said, "Nine."
[Eight!]
[Eight, eight, eight!]
[Hey!
Be good.]
"Seven."
"Six..."
"Midea's air conditioner wishes the people of the country a happy New Year..."
…
Beijing, special situation meeting room:
Everyone, including the middle-aged team leader, rushed to the meeting room and looked up at the sky through the glass window.
…
Jinzhou City, Chen family's residence:
Chen Sanke used tape to cover her tired eyelids and stared at the sky without blinking.
…
Capital, riverbank:
Thousands of people shivered in the cold wind as they looked up at the sky.
…
China, Japan, the South...
At this time, tens of millions of people in different countries were looking up at the night sky in the same posture.
…
"..."
"Three!
"Two!
"One!
Beep!
Chen Yu abruptly squeezed his fingers, pressing the button deeply into the console and completing the detonation.
Afterward, he spread his arms and looked up at the night sky, shouting, "Happy New Year!"
[Happy New Year!]
[Happy, happy, happy...]
[Happy!
new
New!]
[Ming Ma Nn Nn Nn Nn Nn Nn Nn!]
[Eutuxiσ μ?
Ν ν ν?

[Feliz!

Novo!]
The next moment...
Glimmers of light ignited in the dark night like ripples on a lake, instantly lighting up the entire world at a frightening speed...
