Chapter 249 Black Hole Plan

If the giant ship can be built, then can another thing be accomplished?

Yan Xia has always wanted to build a Dyson sphere.

"The Dyson sphere is not only about utilizing the energy of stars, but also about creating a vast and boundless world as much as possible."

"Although the ring world is large, it is still not that large, and after wrapping the entire planet, it can be hidden in deep space, at least it will not be locked by the enemy."

Yan Xia thought about it carefully and found that it was still not worth the loss.

"At this stage, we can use Dyson clouds to collect and utilize the energy of stars, and the Dyson sphere does not seem to be necessary."

He even found it difficult to convince himself.

"White dwarfs are a good choice." Ella said.

There is only one white dwarf in the Federation, and that is the place of the gods.

In fact, Yan Xia's idea is very simple, that is, to expand the number of citizens of the Federation to the maximum extent. In a giant world, the efficiency of expansion is much faster than in the starry sky.

The Federation has not done another thing, that is, to launch a large-scale creation of life. If it is launched, it can actually ignore the issue of fertility.

But this violates the laws of biology, and this phenomenon will inevitably cause instability and imbalance within the Federation.

The most likely scenario is discrimination.

So Yan Xia still hopes to create a relatively large world to expand the number of citizens.

"How is the Water Commission going?" Yan Xia asked.

Ella put her hands behind her head and looked at the ceiling and answered casually: "A certain number has been formed. Now the scale of citizens in the ring world is 103 trillion, which is the fastest growing place in the federation."

Yan Xia glanced at Ella. The role played by Ella was that of a hot girl, unruly and rebellious.

In fact, the fertility rate of citizens in the federation has not increased at this stage, which is why Yan Xia is obsessed with creating a world.

From the beginning of the war with the silk civilization to the present, although nearly 10 trillion citizens of the federation have died, the number is still increasing in essence. Now the total number of citizens in the federation is 279 trillion, almost doubling.

More than one-third of the citizens are in the ring world. You can imagine the impact of a giant world on fertility.

After all, the perspectives of the citizens of the federation are different now.

The star city of the Federation can generally accommodate more than 10 billion citizens, but for these citizens, they will feel that they are always drifting. Even if they live in the star city for their whole lives and have never left a district of the star city, most citizens will feel that the star city is just a district of the Federation.

They have no sense of security, and the star city may be destroyed at any time, which greatly reduces the desire of the citizens of the Federation to have children.

The ring world is the capital of the Federation, which can be said to be the safest place. At the same time, because the ring world has a policy of encouraging childbirth and giving away land, most citizens are willing to have children. Even in the starry sky, land is not a small fortune.

The starry sky is big enough, but there are only a few places suitable for living. The quality of life in the ring world can be said to be the highest in the Federation.

Yan Xia recently checked a document.

The number of citizens who want to migrate to the Water Commission One in the Tiancang Five Star Region accounts for 83% of the total, which shows the problem.

"So the Tiancang Five Star Region also wants a ring world?" Ella discovered the core of this matter.

Stability, security, sustainability, and centralization are issues that the Federation has to face.

"That's true."

Yan Xia felt that this was not the most perfect solution, but it could relatively increase the willingness of some citizens to have children.

"The pressure on the federal infrastructure is already great enough now."

Ella wanted to talk about the [Deep Space Development Plan] that Yan Xia recently proposed, which runs counter to the current main program of the federation.

You have to know that in order to ease the pressure of infrastructure, the federation has destroyed so many stars before.

It is obviously not advisable to have it here and there.

Yan Xia also knows this problem, and he is also looking for a solution.

"I've actually thought about the supply of energy a long time ago. If we keep using stars as energy, we will undoubtedly continue to expand the star domain and make us too bloated."

"So I plan to borrow the gravitational energy of black holes."

"The stable black holes we can create now are not capable of supplying energy to the Federation. The input-output ratio is not even close."

"Then we need to find black holes in nature."

"The nearest black hole to us is Gaia BH1, which is about 10 solar masses and 1,500 light years away."

"It's still too far away, and the nearest stars that may become black holes are Betelgeuse and Antares A, both within 600 light years."

"Can we use these two red supergiants to create black holes?"

Betelgeuse is in the direction of Orion, in the middle of the Federation to the Orion Nebula. Its mass is 13.1 solar masses and its diameter is 922 times the diameter of the sun. In fact, there is also a Rigel not far away, which is the brightest star in Orion. Its mass reaches 22 solar masses, but its diameter does not meet the standard, only 77 times the diameter of the sun.

Antares is actually a binary star system, consisting of a red supergiant and a blue dwarf. Star A has a mass of about 12 times that of the sun and a diameter of about 730 times that of the sun, while star B has 7.2 solar masses and, because it is a dwarf, has a diameter of only 5.2 times that of the sun.

Both are candidates for future black holes.

Ella hummed: "Antares has a higher chance of success, and it can make two giant stars collide. Betelgeuse's position conditions are better, and we will most likely develop towards the Orion Nebula."

If the gravity of the black hole can be used for energy, then the energy of the Federation can leap to a terrifying level.

According to Ella's calculations, if a black hole can get the gravitational energy technology of the Olive Branch civilization, it can completely increase the energy level of the Federation to level 2.6, or even close to level 2.7.

That's a black hole.

Gaia BH1 is ready, but the distance is indeed a bit far, and even that star field is an unknown star field. Maybe there is already a civilization that has taken the lead.

According to the current situation, although there is no level 3 civilization in the Milky Way, there are still many level 2 civilizations.

The conversation between the two was not passionate.

Because these are all things to be considered in the future, at this stage, if we achieve them at the fastest speed, the cycle is estimated to be calculated in tens of thousands of years.

"Make preparations. If the Federation wants to completely defeat the Olive Branch Civilization, it cannot rely solely on the energy of stars."

This is just a small episode.

Yan Xia's attention is still on Star City at this time. After all, the war there has just begun and is far from over.

Everything is possible.
