Under the surging power supply from over a dozen dedicated nuclear fusion power plants, these energies were injected into two proton beams through electromagnetic accelerating coils.
How immense is the total electricity consumption of an entire metropolitan area in the Earth era? And how minuscule is the mass of a mere particle beam?
This extreme contrast, one large and one small, led to a very obvious result.
The speed of these proton beams was accelerated to a speed extremely, extremely close to the speed of light.
Of course, superluminal speed was still impossible. According to Tom's current theory, any matter with mass, even neutrinos, once its speed reaches the speed of light, its mass and energy would tend towards infinity, even surpassing the combined mass of the entire universe.
Although the speed of these proton beams had not yet reached the speed of light, and was only approaching it, they still possessed unprecedented immense energy.
