#949 - Chapter 949 Dyson Rings? Mercury Development? Plan Announced, Solved!
Seeing the lifelike model, with that blazing orange-yellow flame, it seemed the surrounding temperature had risen.
That was clearly…
The Sun!
"A Dyson sphere?!" Old Qian exclaimed in astonishment.
The top scientists from the surface and the underground world both wore expressions of disbelief.
"Not quite."
Chen Hao shook his head: "According to our classification of civilizations, a Dyson sphere belongs to a Level 2 civilization's technology. Currently… it's impossible to achieve in a short time."
The model was not a Dyson sphere.
But a simplified version—a Dyson ring!
Dyson Ring.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the alien civilization's predecessors had reached a level of 1.4, and their footprints had spread throughout the solar system.
Before the Hunters appeared, the alien civilization's predecessors had just broken through the technical difficulties related to the Dyson ring.
The technical aspects had been realized.
Unfortunately…
Before they could officially implement it, their civilization was destroyed by the Hunters.
Chen Hao obtained the alien civilization's legacy, and of course, he also had the data on this technology.
He discovered that although the technical aspects had been realized, there were still some difficulties to be solved in order to use it for his plan to deal with the Hunters—and for more than a year, in addition to other projects he was pushing forward, he had been working on this.
"A Dyson ring…"
Andrew took a long time to recover, staring blankly at Chen Hao: "This… can it be built? You're not joking, are you?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Chen Hao retorted.
"But…"
The amount of resources on Earth needed to build a Dyson ring… might not be enough even if you hollow it out!
"Oxygen and silicon account for over 70% of the Earth's crust, while the proportion of metals is very low."
Chen Hao changed the subject: "Do you know what percentage of metal accounts for in Mercury's mass? Over 70%!"
Oxygen accounts for the highest proportion of the Earth's crust.
As for below the crust…
Can you dig the mantle and core?
Do you want to die?
Therefore, it is impossible to build a Dyson ring with the total amount of resources on Earth.
But what if Mercury is developed?
Mercury.
The planet closest to the sun, and to build a Dyson ring outside the sun, the time required to transport resources from Mercury will be greatly reduced.
Although Mercury is small, its metal content is very high, not much less than Earth's!
At this moment.
Old Qian finally understood the role of the hypersonic spacecraft.
Transportation!
To build the Dyson ring!
"Can it be built in such a short time…?" Brady asked again.
"It doesn't need to be completely built."
Chen Hao explained with a smile: "The degree of completion is not important. As long as it's enough to open a wormhole, it's enough for us, isn't it?"
There is definitely no way it can be completed in less than three years.
But who said it has to be completely built?
It's like photovoltaics.
A single panel can generate electricity, as long as the power generation is sufficient, and covering the entire desert… is a matter for the future!
"Are all the technologies perfected?" Brady pressed.
"Yes." Chen Hao nodded.
"Wait!"
Old Qian's mind stirred: "The time it takes for energy to be transmitted from Earth to the Kuiper Belt is already very long. Even if the Dyson ring is built… the time it takes to transmit it from the sun's position will be even longer."
After the Hunters complete their wormhole jump, will they stop there and wait for you to deal with them?
Keep dreaming!
"The next step is the plan!"
Chen Hao clicked a few times on the computer, and the model diagram changed once again: "Once the Dyson ring is built, it means infinite energy, and it's entirely possible to create a long-term, stable wormhole—using the Dyson ring to supply power."
The wormhole will become very unstable due to the influence of gravity within the solar system?
This long-term stable wormhole is not used for spacecraft jumps, but…
To transmit energy!
Using a wormhole to transmit the Dyson ring's energy to the Kuiper Belt can almost achieve instantaneous arrival. Why wait several hours?
Wormholes can not only transmit energy.
But also transmit signals.
Otherwise, it would take several hours for information to travel back and forth when monitoring the Kuiper Belt from Earth.
Therefore, stability is not important.
It collapses?
Anyway, no one will die as long as no spacecraft jumps are performed.
As long as the Dyson ring exists and can provide a continuous stream of energy, it can be restarted there when it collapses here.
Once the project is completed, real-time energy and communication transmission can almost be achieved within the solar system.
The Hunters' appearance can be detected immediately!
Information can be transmitted back to Earth immediately!
Energy can be transmitted to the Kuiper Belt immediately!
The wormhole can be opened immediately!
Then…
All problems will be solved!
"Mr. Chen, why didn't you say so earlier…?" Andrew asked blankly.
"What's the use of saying it earlier?"
Chen Hao smiled faintly: "The Dyson ring technology already exists, and it further fits in with my plan. You can't do this part, I have to do it myself. Also… the key to this project is the hypersonic spacecraft!"
Before the hypersonic spacecraft is completed, the Dyson ring plan is like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water.
How long does it take to fly from Earth to Mercury?
Developing Mercury's resources and constantly traveling back and forth between the sun will take even more time.
In short.
The premise of the Dyson ring plan is the hypersonic spacecraft.
"So… you also have the technology to build a mine on Mercury?" Andrew suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Chen Hao looked at Old Qian: "Old Qian, I'm counting on your strong assistance in the hypersonic spacecraft aspect!"
"Don't worry!"
Old Qian nodded and said in a deep voice: "The core difficulties have been solved. The rest… I guarantee that mass production will officially begin within a month!"
According to the previous plan, maybe one or two spacecraft would be enough to fly to the Kuiper Belt to find a wormhole.
It's different now!
How many spacecraft are needed to transport equipment from Earth to Mercury?
And to constantly travel back and forth between the sun from Mercury to build the Dyson ring.
The more the better!
"Everyone, let's disperse."
Chen Hao looked at the group of scientists: "The artificial wormhole project will continue to advance!"
Dozens of people left excitedly.
With the overall plan presented, the previously unsolvable problems were also completely solved in this plan.
They can now promote the plan with undivided attention!
"Little Chen, then I'll go get busy too." Old Qian turned around.
"Old Qian, want to go together?"
"Together?"
Old Qian was puzzled.
Isn't this Chen Hao's office area?
Where else does he need to go?
"I'm going to the capital…"
Suddenly!
Just as he finished speaking, the walkie-talkie rang: "Chairman Chen, General Wang is looking for you!"
A quarter of an hour later.
Chen Hao rarely walked out of the underground.
It seems…
It's been more than a month since he came out, right?
The last time he came out was on New Year's Eve, and he spent a few short hours going to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house—his parents were spending the New Year in Shanghai. The two families had a New Year's Eve dinner, and he rushed back to the research institute after eating.
Now the first month of the lunar year is over, and it's already late March in the Gregorian calendar.
"General Wang, what's wrong?" Chen Hao answered the phone.
"Commander!"
General Wang was very excited: "The first batch of Helium-3 is about to be sent back!"
