How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 582 Stellar Resource Development Mission (5)

The physical model of the red dwarf star appears again in the channel of the collectors, this is to understand the star-scale giant structure conceived by the proposal proposer more intuitively and quickly.

I saw that the proposal proposer expressed his thoughts in the channel.

"I propose to build a ring. Only one orbital ring is enough. The orbital ring is composed of a large number of segmented orbital modules. Each orbital module is in the shape of a cylinder. The diameter of the circular surface does not necessarily need to be large, but The strength must be as high as possible, and it is best to think and design according to the gravity that can withstand the black hole.

"This ring is a particle accelerator, which uses an electric field to continuously increase the speed of the particles in the orbital cabin, making it infinitely close to the speed of light. This speed is completely different from our 90% sublight speed navigation. It will be an all-out speed increase, and the voltage to maintain the electric field will be raised to a very high level, and this voltage intensity will be the highest value since the birth of the race."

In the physical model in the channel, a cylindrical structure appeared, and then the cylindrical structure shrank to the same proportion as the red dwarf model, which was like a grain of sand compared to the red dwarf.

The small cylindrical structures proliferate rapidly, and a large number of cylindrical structures surround the red dwarf to form a slowly rotating ring.

Afterwards, this ring becomes transparent, and a glowing circle appears, and this is the particle flow that is accelerated to extremely close to the speed of light in the orbital ring.

The collectors who saw these can intuitively understand the idea of ​​this plan.

"How to achieve such a high voltage?" Someone asked.

This problem, the program proposer has long thought of a solution.

"Energy can be obtained from the stars. The ring needs to lower the temperature and use low-temperature matter to take away the accumulation heat. This process can be used to generate electricity by the way to maintain the accelerating electric field inside the ring. As for the resistance, we can slowly go You can always find the right material if you try.”

Generating high voltage requires a strong resistance, and the resistance needs to be resistant to high temperature. When the voltage is increased, it will not be vaporized due to its own high temperature. Accelerating the electric field is fine, but deflecting the electric field is the key to the entire ring, so This is the crucial part.

But this problem is a problem of materials. Collectors can constantly combine materials to try the resistance of various materials.

"Does the electric field have to keep accelerating?" A collector asked.

"No, after the ring accelerates the internal particle flow to a suitable speed, the electric field does not need to accelerate, but to deflect instead. In a vacuum environment, there is no friction, and an object will always move at the initial speed Going down, the particle flow is the same."

As long as the deflection electric field does not disappear, the particle flow will continue like this forever, even in the heat death of the universe. I think that if the ring is not considered and only the particle flow is considered, the movement very close to the speed of light will form a scaling effect, that is, the macroscopic time will slow down. The particle stream itself will also decay many times slower.

At this moment, some individuals thought of a very dangerous problem, that is, the gravitational force generated by the particle flow would also affect the ring itself.

"But the gravitational force generated by the mass of the particle flow will inevitably affect the ring itself. As a star-scale giant structure, its structure is inherently fragile, and it may be torn apart by the gravitational force of the particle flow."

The larger the scale of the object, the lower the total strength. The electromagnetic force in the large-scale structure is still functioning, but the internal stress of the large-scale structure is also terrible. Once the two forces cancel each other out, the total strength of the large-scale structure will decrease. .

It's like a person who is about to fall to the ground. At this time, only the weight of a straw is needed to make this person fall, not to mention that the force exerted on the person who is about to fall is not only the weight of a straw, but also heavy. Give it a push.

However, this point has long been thought of by the plan proposer, and this point is also the most important structural design part of the entire plan.

"You're thinking that because you're not taking into account the motion of the particle stream itself."

The plan proposer answers this question, and in order to facilitate the comprehension of the same family, it asks the questioner another question.

"A simple question in mechanics, what is the moment of uniform circular motion?"

"Uh... two moments are perpendicular to each other, one is the deflection force that deflects the moving object, and the other is the centrifugal force generated by the kinetic energy itself of the circular moving object."

In the channel, two arrows soon appeared in the physical model of the orbital ring, and the two arrows respectively represented the directions of the two forces, and then the model of the orbital ring was virtualized, and the existence of particle flow made each Only the collectors can intuitively see that the particle flow is moving in a circle around the star.

I saw that the plan proposer replied that it began to explain to its peers which part of its core concept, even if it is a structure under the stellar scale, the strength can still be guaranteed.

"Yes, and the centrifugal force is the torque we can use. We have been troubled by the fact that the electromagnetic force cannot be extended to a larger scale, and the universe has already told us what kind of force to use on a larger scale. , that is gravity."

"Everything is an interaction. Even a small meteorite can deflect the star when it interacts with the star, but the deflection value is very small, so it is equivalent to neglecting it."

"We can use the deflection electric field to interact with the centrifugal force of the particle flow, as well as the gravitational force generated by the particle flow moving close to the speed of light, so as to achieve structural strength enhancement on the stellar scale."

It is not only using the orbital module to deflect the particle flow and constrain the orbit, but also using the gravity and centrifugal force of the particle flow to strengthen the ring's own structure-the structure cannot be without a skeleton, but the general skeleton cannot be qualified for the star scale. The previous stellar scale structure is troubled by this problem.

Collectors have considered circumventing this problem, but unfortunately, they can't. The direction of gravity is omnidirectional. If they want to avoid it, they will definitely not be able to complete the mission of the group.

Now this problem has been solved!

"The real 'skeleton' of this ring is the flow of particles moving close to the speed of light in the ring!" The proposal proposer excitedly explained the core part of his idea.

"When the gravitational force needs to be weakened, for example, the stars absorb too much plasma matter at one time, and our low-temperature matter is not enough. We only need to accelerate the particle flow in reverse and decelerate the particle flow, and the strong gravitational force will drop, and it will also rely on the gravitational force to attract stars. The amount of matter will also drop, and we can even turn it off as we want, and turn it on as we want..."

After talking like this for a long time, when the plan proposer came back to his senses, the channel was completely silent.

"...Huh? Why is it so quiet? Are there any deficiencies? Tell me."

Urged by the plan proposer, the other collectors came to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"There's nothing to say, it's perfect..."

"And the demand for resources is not high, there are only a few planets..."

"Then what are you waiting for? Construction has started! I can't wait to see such a perfect star-level giant structure."
