Chapter 841

On top of this, Ye Ting had a new idea.

Since we want to create such a galaxy-scale defense mechanism, why not just do it all the time, and create a greater and more practical space giant on this basis?

Therefore, according to Ye Ting's design, in the future, the asteroid belt will be surrounded by a giant building with a radius of 325 million kilometers, a circumference of about 2 billion kilometers, a width of about 13,000 kilometers, and a thickness of several kilometers. , will be a galaxy marvel that combines defense and habitation functions.

Its essence is a ring world, or Dyson ring.

The so-called ring world is a huge ring-mounted artificial star revolving around the sun, which is free from the constraints of common sense and spherical, and can provide a huge utopian world for a large number of life.

For a country, population means productivity.

Although at present, Earth and Mars alone are enough to accommodate the inhabitants of Daqin and more than enough, considering the population growth rate of modern society, Ye Ting believes that within a few hundred years, today's Earth and Mars will be like twenty-one The earth of the century is generally crowded.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare enough habitable planets before that.

But the existence of the ring world can solve this problem once and for all for a long time.

You must know that for ordinary life living on spherical planets, considering the factors of sunlight exposure, the area where life can live is limited to the surface of the planet, and most of the matter of a planet exists in the interior of the planet. These materials are basically It has nothing to do with the creatures living on the surface of the planet, and it is a huge waste.

The ring world is the full use of planetary matter.

Those materials that were wasted in the spherical world were fully utilized after being rolled out into a ring world-because the ring world is a huge and flat ring, and the habitable place for life is the inner side of the ring, such a world can Make full use of the sun's light to accommodate more residents on the same material basis.

Ye Ting's plan is to construct a "ring world" with both defensive capabilities, the inner side facing the sun is used for living, and the outer side facing away from the sun is used for defensive functions.

According to estimates, once this ring world is established, the population that can be accommodated will be 51,000 times that of the earth (the surface area is 51,000 times the surface area of ​​the earth), and its total mass is less than one of the earth's total mass if it is five kilometers thick. One hundred and thirty times.

This mass is relatively large compared to terrestrial planets such as Earth, but it is insignificant compared to big brothers such as Jupiter and Saturn.

Chapter 1024 How many steps does it take to build a ring world?

In Ye Ting's vision, this huge ring world should be the most important place for human beings to live in the future of the solar system with its population carrying capacity far exceeding the earth's 50,000 times.

This huge population carrying capacity basically transforms all the solid planets in the solar system into habitable planets, which are not comparable to a ring world.

In Ye Ting's vision, the inner surface of this ring world should be artificially arranged with land, ocean, mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands... just like the surface of the earth. Of course, the most important thing is to preset the location of the city, and the rest is the picturesque natural scenery.

At the edge of the ring world, two side walls should be designed with a height of 1,600 kilometers to prevent the atmosphere from leaking into space.

Of course, there is another very important thing, which is to add gravity to the ring world.

Whether it is the atmosphere around the world or everything on the surface, it needs to be bound by gravity to prevent it from spilling into space and causing the loss of material around the world; and humans who are accustomed to the gravity environment also need to feel down-to-earth. However, even if this is done by arranging a large magic circle, artificially created gravity will cause a huge consumption.

In fact, there is no such demand in the ring world.

To obtain a gravitational force similar to that of the earth, the ring world only needs to keep rotating around the sun at a speed of nearly 5 million kilometers per hour. In this case, the centrifugal force from the ring world will naturally replace the gravity and tighten the matter of the ring world. Press down on the base of the ring world. Because it is in a vacuum environment where the cosmic friction is close to zero, this scheme is feasible. With just some acceleration system operation, the ring's velocity can reach this theoretical value over time, and then maintain such a rotation with little additional thrust, like a top straddling the center of the solar system.

Of course, if the Ringworld is to be successfully manufactured, the biggest problem that needs to be faced is not the scale of matter, nor the complexity of astronomical levels, nor the construction time of hundreds of years, but the problem of materials.

Material strength is a constant issue. Due to the size of the ring world, the base of the megastructure would be subjected to unimaginable mechanical stresses during operation, large enough to break any known molecular bonds.

That is to say, the only result of a man-made material, no matter how strong, is to completely fall apart.

However, this kind of unsolvable problem for both magical civilization and technological civilization is not a big problem in Ye Ting's hands.

Because he is a magician - a miracle worker.

Magic itself is omnipotent, and it is the magician who limits this miracle itself.

And Ye Ting really holds the key to solving this difficulty - the first method.

Although Ye Ting used the first method excessively in order to change the laws of the earth, which directly led to him having to temporarily sleep for a long time, this did not mean that Ye Ting could not use the first method at all.

In the process of casting the god-killing gun Longinus, Ye Ting

Another usage of the first method is used - not to create rules, but to create substances with certain rules, so as to limit the rules and reduce consumption.

This time, Ye Ting is ready to do the same.

As we all know, there are four fundamental forces in the physical laws of nature - the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force and the gravitational force. They are the basis for the existence of all physical phenomena, and any physical phenomenon is produced by relying on the four fundamental forces.

Among them, electromagnetic force is the essence of most common physical phenomena of human beings. On the surface, the electromagnetic force is the general term for the force exerted by electric charges and currents in the electromagnetic field, but in fact, in addition to electromagnetic force, common friction, elastic force, pressure, buoyancy and even optical-based forces are manifestations of electromagnetic force. .

Gravity refers to the attraction that exists between matter, and its essence originates from the extrusion of matter on space, and it is manifested by gravity and universal gravitation.

As for the strong and weak nuclear force, it is the force at the molecular and even atomic level.

Whether it is a technological civilization or a magical civilization, basically all that can be done is the manipulation of electromagnetic force and gravity. However, with the help of the first method, Ye Ting can go deep into the molecular and atomic levels, change the laws of matter, and create some kind of Matter with a strong interatomic gravitational force builds the skeleton of a ring world.

As he said, after completing the construction of the Epang Palace, Ye Ting decisively started the construction plan of the ring world.

Needless to say, the astronomical level of design and architectural planning for such a galaxy-level mega-building is still up to bb and mooncell.

No way, just like when the Epang Palace was built, it's not that Daqin can't do it, but that with the current population of Daqin, it's still impossible to come up with so many engineers and designers to design a building of this order of magnitude.

Sometimes Ye Ting really has to be thankful that a unique supercomputer like mooncell actually exists in the solar system. Along the way in the Daqin Empire, this supercomputer does not know how much contribution it has made.

The complexity of the ring world is indeed beyond imagination, but for this supercomputer with solar system-scale computing power, a mere ring world is nothing.

The ingenious design drawings were quickly completed, and after that, a large-scale construction activity was carried out by the whole country.

If you want to build such a giant building that spans 2 billion kilometers, it will definitely not work without enough population, but it is impossible to complete this level of construction only by relying on the number of piles, because in this era, the main force of construction is engineering. Spaceships, and the population involved are all high-quality talents such as engineers and spaceship pilots—the number is basically tens of millions.

If Da Qin did not attach great importance to education, the current Da Qin would not be able to gather so many high-quality elites.

There are about three steps involved in building a ring world.

The first is to build the base of the ring world, that is, the skeleton that supports the ring world. This is the easiest and most complex step in the entire construction process.

It is simple because compared to the finished product that is tens of thousands of kilometers wide and five kilometers thick, the construction of the skeleton is simply so large, and the amount of engineering required is much less than the next two steps.

It is complicated because of the material requirements of the ring world base site—comparing to the fact that the entire ring world is supported by its skeleton, the huge stress that is enough to break any molecular bonds mainly acts on the base site.

The "high-intensity non-elemental matter" created by Ye Ting with the first method is applied to this base.

The process of building the base site was the busiest period for Ye Ting in the entire construction process around the world. For ten years, every day he devoted at least ten hours to the creation of "high-strength non-elemental matter"—— Basically like a humanoid production line.

Chapter 1025 The Great Wall of Two Thousand Miles

Even someone like Ye Ting would get tired of doing the same thing with high intensity day after day.

It's a pity that he has no other choice. He is the only one who can master magic and can do this kind of thing in the whole Daqin.

But the busyness is quite worth it.

In less than 20 years, the base site of the ring world has been completed. The ring with a length of 2 billion kilometers has already appeared in the position that originally belonged to the asteroid belt. The cross-sectional area is not as large as expected.

After completing the base site of the ring world, the next step is to build the framework of the entire ring world on top of it.

However, Da Qin was not in a hurry to do so.
