Chapter 579: Stellar Resource Development Mission (2)
"Ring?"
All the collectors were attracted to this concept, and the physical model of the stellar orbital ring began to be constructed in the channel, which did not necessarily need to be very structural, but was an upgraded version of the increase in the number of stellar clouds to a certain extent, when there were many objects in an orbit that were in contact with each other and had a constant velocity, these objects were combined into a stellar-scale ring.
Its strength is not high, because the scale is too large, and as long as there is a slightly stronger external force, such as a human atomic bomb, the structure of this ring can be broken.
But even this is already a very good idea, and it is worth thinking deeply about by collectors.
One collector suggested, "We can try to wrap the star with countless orbital rings, and the utilization rate will be higher than that of the stellar cloud, and we don't need to consider the problem of uneven force in latitude." ”
This method can effectively avoid the drawbacks of rotation, and at the same time, it can also obtain more stellar resources than the stellar cloud scheme.
However, this did not satisfy the collectors.
"It's an ideal solution, but it's still far from our ultimate goal."
Suddenly, a collector became excited, and it poured out its thoughts with joy in the channel.
"I thought of it!"
"We can try to combine the characteristics of the orbit of the ring, so that the star is in rotational motion and tumbling motion at the same time, so that two vertically moving orbits can be formed to fight the gravitational pull of the star."
As long as the north and south poles of the rotation axis are also moving in circles while rotating, wouldn't it be possible to avoid the problem of lack of centrifugal force! -- The proposer of the plan thought excitedly.
It's a pity that he was quickly poured cold water on other clansmen.
“…… However, it is not feasible. ”
"Huh? Why? In the case of tumbling motion, whether it is the equator or the axis of rotation, it should be able to obtain sufficient centrifugal force. ”
The proposer is very puzzling, according to his understanding, the star should no longer have the problem of weak points, and every part can get enough centrifugal force to resist the gravitational pull of the star.
"It is true that the problem of stellar gravity is solved, but the star planet is a whole, according to the way you described the motion, there will be two centrifugal rings on the star planet, and the rings will be perpendicular to each other, which leads to the two moments at the junction of the rings will squeeze the matter together, and in the middle of the two junction points, there will be a stretching force, and then when it comes to the next junction point, it will be squeezed again, and the structure of the star scale is already fragile, and such a toss will inevitably cause the planet itself to tear apart."
"In contrast, because the rings are not connected to each other, the centrifugal force is always opposite to the direction of the star's gravity, and there is no need to consider the problem of two moments, and each ring has its own unique centrifugal ring."
Soon, the physical model was embodied in the channel, and the star that wrapped the star around it, countering the centrifugal force by rotation and at the same time countering the centrifugal force of the rotation axis by tumbling, was torn apart, as described by the counter-entity.
However, the Circulars did not run rampant for long, and some individuals soon refuted their plans.
"There is also a serious problem with the orbital ring."
"What is it?"
"Fragility, the number of orbital rings needed to cover the entire star would be very large, but the problem with this is that if one orbital ring breaks for some reason, the ring will be thrown out and all the orbital rings will be broken." ”
"That would be a terrible loss for the community."
The physical model of the ring was soon concretized in the channel, and the refuge hypothesized that a small meteorite collided with one of the many orbital rings of the star, and a catastrophe ensued, the disintegration of one orbital ring, and then thrown out under the action of the rotational moment, and the orbital ring was stellar in size, and the distance thrown was very far, and the other orbital rings could not be avoided by orbital changes like satellites, so a collision occurred, as if the first domino was toppled, and finally all the orbital rings were destroyed. None survived.
The gatherers quickly discarded the disappointing scheme and sought out a higher one.
“…… So, only the stellar cloud is a practical and feasible solution? ”
"It seems so."
"Is there any further utilization of the stellar cloud?"
Some individuals have asked that it is also a good way to transform it on a more feasible plan.
Soon, one individual answered the reason why it was not possible to increase the number further.
"That's the limit, when the number of antimatter giants reaches an upper limit, and the number continues to increase, it means that the gravitational perturbations between each other combined with the gravitational pull of the stars will form a many-body system that may collide with each other."
"We can distance the antimatter giants from each other to eliminate the perturbation of each other's gravitational forces." There are suggestions from collectors.
"But if that's the case, the production capacity of the antimatter giant will be very low, and we should know that the positrons and antiprotons of the antihydrogen atoms synthesized by the antimatter giant come from the star, and the distance from the star means that more positrons and antiprotons have been annihilated before they reach the antimatter giant."
Eventually, the collectors had to turn to other options, and the stellar cloud scheme, while reliable, was so undesirable that it was discarded in the same way as the stellar planets and orbital rings.
"The stellar cloud scheme cannot be adopted, this kind of underutilization method is not the stellar utilization that the population expects, and we should set the ultimate goal of the scheme to how to extract those plasma materials directly from the stars, rather than thinking about how to obtain the matter from the stellar wind."
"Extraction? That's something that can't be done, and even if the plasma is fluid, how can we make a straw that can go deep into the ocean of stellar plasma? ”
"Yes, no molecular material can withstand the scorching of the star, and the mass of matter will change to a plasma state due to the increase in internal energy after falling into the star."
The gatherers were arguing, and they were confused when they couldn't think of a good solution.
"Then we don't use molecular materials, we use more basic things."
"With what? Degeneracy? If there is no pressure on the degenerate state, there is no way to maintain the material form. ”
"Use ...... Use! Right! We can use the field to construct such a straw! Extract the matter out of the stars! ”
The individuals in the quarrel suddenly had a brilliant idea, since they couldn't go deep into the stars and mine the stellar matter, shouldn't they let the stellar matter come out on their own?
"How do you want to do that? The star itself is a huge magnet, and the magnetic field can extend to the Kuiper Belt and beyond, how can we generate a stronger magnetic field than this to avoid interference from the star's magnetic field itself? ”
A star is a plasma, yes, but in order to rely on a magnetic field to operate on a star, it needs to be strong enough, at least not lower than the magnetic field of the star itself.
But the individual quickly thought of another way.
"Why are you obsessed with using magnetic fields?"
"What do you use without magnetic fields?" The other gatherers were stunned.
"With a gravitational field."
“…… How? ”
"We can make a black hole and use the gravitational pull of the black hole to suck the material out of the star."
