#961 - Chapter 961 Global Power, Dyson Ring Construction! A jump from six light years away, a startl
Is the efficiency of a national system unparalleled?
Above the national system, there is an even higher level.
The global system!
Nearly 200 countries, responsible for different parts and different tasks, but all for the same goal...
This is something that has never appeared in human history.
China provides equipment and technical personnel, while other countries provide the most basic workers, and countless mines and smelters are started.
Relatively simple parts are distributed to many countries around the world for manufacturing.
China is responsible for the core technology.
Then, countless parts are assembled in the final assembly plant.
One month later.
The first hypersonic aircraft rolls off the production line.
Is a month long?
In fact, only the first assembly is slower.
In the following month, the production capacity of hypersonic aircraft rapidly soared to 50 per month—this number is constantly increasing!
In the same month.
The aircraft carries personnel and equipment to Mercury, hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
When the personnel and equipment arrive, the Mercury mine will be built immediately.
From this day on, more and more aircraft will roll off the production line and join the transportation plan.
More equipment!
More personnel!
The Mercury mine is expanding at an alarming rate.
This is not a lunar mine.
It cannot be mined gradually.
The scale of the Mercury mine must be fully expanded in the shortest time and enter the mining, smelting, and manufacturing processes, so that the Dyson sphere's power supply can reach the level to open a wormhole before the powerful enemy arrives in the solar system.
Otherwise…
It will be a catastrophe for all mankind!
For example, when the first aircraft rolled off the production line, the estimated production capacity could reach 50 aircraft, but when it entered the second month, the production capacity had risen to 130 aircraft.
Faced with devastating pressure, the human desire to survive turns into the strongest motivation!
In just half a year.
Over a million people were sent to Mercury.
There are basic workers, technicians, and a large number of engineers and scientists. They participate in different processes, but have the exact same goal—to build a Dyson sphere!
During this time, the asteroid Psyche has been captured and pushed into Mercury's orbit.
Is there no need to manufacture hypersonic aircraft once the mining, smelting, and manufacturing scale is sufficient?
No!
Production capacity is still expanding like crazy.
Need more!
More!
When the mass of Mercury gradually decreases during the development process, a large number of parts for constructing the Dyson sphere are sent to near-stellar orbit by aircraft to begin the most important construction.
Admittedly, the energy required to open a wormhole does not require the Dyson sphere to be completely built around the entire sun.
But according to estimates…
The Dyson sphere must be at least 1/20 completed!
What is the concept?
The circumference of the sun is over 4 million kilometers.
Attention!
The Dyson sphere is not attached to the surface of the sun: the temperature on the surface of the sun is too high, and it is accompanied by solar prominences, flares, solar winds, etc. The environmental adaptability of the Dyson sphere's target cannot withstand the harsh environment on the surface of the sun.
A distance must be pulled away.
To ensure that the Dyson sphere is not damaged, the circumference must reach 5.8 million kilometers.
And 1/20 of 5.8 million kilometers…
290,000 kilometers!
More than a year has passed since the global mining, smelting, and construction of aircraft, to the initial completion and commissioning of the Mercury mine, and then to the official start of the Dyson sphere construction. Several months have passed during this period.
In other words, even if the Hunters arrive in the solar system in tens of thousands of years, the time for building the Dyson sphere will remain unchanged…
Only two years left.
Complete the construction of a 290,000-kilometer Dyson sphere?
It is an extremely difficult task!
What if the Hunter's technology has been further improved in the past tens of thousands of years, and they arrive in the solar system earlier?
Every day could be doomsday.
The construction speed must be faster!
The faster, the better!
……
6 light-years outside the solar system.
In the dim space, a huge aircraft, gray all over, floats motionless in the air.
The Gliese 832 star system is 16.1 light-years away from the solar system, and this aircraft is only 6 light-years away from the solar system—and two years have passed!
There are two rules for technological development.
First, under certain special circumstances, there will be a short-term technological explosion.
For example, the Earth, which has continued for thousands of years of feudal society, ushered in a rapid outbreak of the industrial revolution, and its development in two hundred years far exceeded the past.
This kind of technological explosion has a certain degree of chance.
It is based on breakthroughs in certain fields.
Second.
Apart from technological explosions, the development of technology in a conventional state is that the higher the level of civilization, the slower the development speed.
For example, the development speed of Hunters is far lower than that of Earth.
It's like the higher the GDP base, the slower the development speed gradually becomes.
But!
There will be some improvement in tens of thousands of years.
Back then, it took them nearly five years to get from their star system to Earth.
And now…
It has crossed 10 light-years in just over two years.
The remaining 6 light-years…
How long will it take?
The aircraft hangs in space without moving.
Not flying?
Not going to the solar system?
The same sentence, cognitive errors lead to understanding errors: When the understanding of wormholes was insufficient, Chen Hao believed that the wormhole jumping process required a lot of preparation time, and once the jumping started, it would be very fast.
Even jumping directly from Gliese 832 to the Kuiper Belt of the solar system.
In fact, it is not like this.
The aircraft's optical brain is calculating.
How do Hunters conduct interstellar navigation?
Flying?
Of course not!
With the technology of this civilization, the conventional flight speed of the aircraft is at most one-eighth of the speed of light.
Arriving at the solar system 16.1 light-years away by flying…
It takes more than a hundred years!
Wormhole jumping is the fastest method.
The real wormhole jump is completely different from Chen Hao's initial understanding.
How to operate?
Two points.
One is the computing performance of the optical brain.
The second is the energy level of the spacecraft.
The stronger the performance of the optical brain, the farther the position to open the wormhole can be calculated, but this is only calculation, and opening it also requires the spacecraft to supply energy—the higher the energy provided by the spacecraft, the farther the distance connected by the wormhole.
The Hunters use this method of constantly calculating, opening the wormhole in front, and then jumping to move forward.
At this moment, the calculation is completed again.
Suddenly!
A strange device protrudes from the front of the aircraft.
Release energy!
The next moment.
The space in front is distorted, like the distortion in the air on an asphalt road under the scorching sun.
Wormhole jump
The aircraft drills into the twisted ripples.
Disappears instantly.
When it reappears, it is already in a very distant space.
Then the optical brain starts calculating again.
So like this.
Constantly repeating.
It can be confirmed that the time for the Hunters to arrive in the solar system must be faster than tens of thousands of years ago!
……
The Dyson sphere project is huge.
On the Earth side.
Constantly manufacturing hypersonic aircraft, manufacturing more mining, smelting, and production-related equipment for the Mercury mine.
The scale of the Mars mine is even larger, and the number of personnel is constantly increasing.
The construction speed of the Dyson sphere is increasing day by day.
Even so…
The entire industrial chain only involves hundreds of millions of people, which is only a fraction of the world's huge population.
Everyone else should do what they should do, continue their normal lives as before, including Chen Hao, who is not involved.
What he is responsible for is research and development, not building the Dyson sphere.
"Here!"
More than a dozen scientists are surrounding him, and he is explaining the difficulties: "There is a deviation in the formula, it should be like this…"
