Chapter 582: Stellar Resource Development Mission (5)

The physical model of the red dwarf reappeared in the collectors' channel, in order to more intuitively and quickly understand the stellar-scale megastructure conceived by the proposer.

I saw that the proposer of the plan expressed his thoughts in the channel.

"I propose to build a ring, this orbital ring only needs one is enough, the orbital ring is composed of a large number of segmented orbital modules, each orbital module is cylindrical, the diameter of the circle does not necessarily need to be large, but the strength must be as high as possible, and it is best to think about the design according to the ability to withstand the gravitational pull of the black hole.

"This ring is a particle accelerator, and the electric field is used to continuously increase the speed of the particles in the orbital module, so that it is infinitely close to the speed of light, this speed and our 90 percent sub-light speed travel are completely different concepts, it will be a speed increase as much as possible, and the voltage to maintain the electric field will be increased to a very high level, and this voltage intensity will be the highest value since the birth of the race."

In the physical model of the channel, a cylindrical structure appears, and then the cylinder structure is reduced to the same proportions as the red dwarf model, and the red dwarf is like a grain of sand.

The tiny cylinder structure multiplies rapidly, and the large number of cylinder structures circle around the red dwarf star to form a slowly rotating ring.

The ring then becomes transparent, revealing a glowing circle, a stream of particles that is accelerated to extremely close to the speed of light within the orbital ring.

Seeing this, the collectors can intuitively understand the idea of this plan.

"How can such a high voltage be achieved?" One person asked.

The proposer of the scheme has already thought of a solution to this problem.

"Energy can be obtained from the stars, the ring needs to lower the temperature, with a cryogenic substance to take away the heat of accumulation, this process can be used by the way to generate electricity, to maintain the accelerated electric field inside the ring, as for the resistance, we can try slowly, we can always find the right material."

To generate a high voltage, a strong resistance is required, and the resistance also needs to be high enough to withstand high temperatures, and then increase the voltage at the same time, so as not to vaporize due to its own high temperature, and accelerate the electric field, but the deflection of the electric field is the key to the whole ring, so this is a crucial part.

However, this problem is a matter of materials, and collectors can constantly combine substances to try the resistance of various substances.

"Is the electric field going to be constantly accelerating?" A collector asked.

"No, after the ring accelerates the internal particle flow to a suitable velocity, the electric field does not have to accelerate, but instead deflects it, in a vacuum, there is no friction, an object will move at its initial velocity forever, and the same is true for the particle flow."

As long as the deflection electric field does not disappear, the particle flow will continue like this forever, even when it comes to the heat death of the universe, thinking that if you do not consider the situation of the ring, only consider the particle flow, the motion extremely close to the speed of light will form a shrinkage effect, that is, the macroscopic time will slow down, and the decay rate of the particle flow itself will also slow down many times.

At this point, a dangerous question came to mind, that is, the gravitational pull generated by the particle stream also affects the ring itself.

"But the gravitational force generated by the mass of the particle flow will inevitably affect the ring itself, as a star-scale giant, the structure is already fragile, and it will tear apart and disintegrate if it is not affected by the gravitational pull of the particle flow."

The larger the scale of the object, the lower the total strength, the electromagnetic force in the large-scale structure is still in play, but the intrinsic stress of the large-scale structure is also strong and terrible, as soon as the two forces are canceled, the total strength of the large-scale structure will decrease.

It's like a person who is about to fall to the ground, at this time, only the weight of a straw is needed to make the person fall, not to mention that the force exerted on the person who is about to fall is not only the weight of a straw, but also a heavy push.

However, this point has long been thought of by the proposer of the scheme, and this point is also the most important part of the structural design of the whole scheme.

"You think that way because you don't take into account the motion of the particle stream itself."

The proposer of the scheme answers this question, and in order to facilitate the understanding of the same family, it asks the questioner, another question.

"A simple mechanical problem, what is the moment of uniform circular motion?"

"Uh...... The two moments are perpendicular to each other, one is the deflection force that deflects the moving object, and the other is the centrifugal force generated by the kinetic energy of the circularly moving object itself. ”

In the channel, two arrows soon appeared in the physical model of the orbital ring, which represented the direction of the two forces, and then the model of the orbital ring was blurred, and the existence of the particle stream was obvious, and every collector could intuitively see that the particle stream was moving in a circle around the star.

The proposer of the scheme replied that it began to explain to its fellow clans which part of the idea was the most central, and that even the strength of the structure at the stellar scale could still be guaranteed.

"That's right, and the centrifugal force in it is the moment that we can use, and we have been bothered that the electromagnetic force cannot be extended to a larger scale, and the universe has long told us what kind of force to use on a larger scale, which is gravity."

"Everything is an interaction, even a small meteorite can deflect the star when it interacts with the star, but this deflection value is very small, so it is equivalent to ignoring."

"We can use the centrifugal force that deflects the electric field to interact with the particle stream, as well as the gravitational pull generated by the particle stream moving close to the speed of light, to achieve an increase in structural strength at the stellar scale."

It is not only to use the orbital module to deflect the particle flow and constrain the orbit, but also to use the gravitational and centrifugal force of the particle flow to strengthen the structure of the ring itself - the structure cannot do without a skeleton, but the general skeleton is not capable of stellar scale, and the previous stellar scale structure is plagued by this problem.

The gatherers have considered bypassing this problem, but unfortunately, they can't, the direction of gravity is omnidirectional, and if you want to avoid it, you will definitely not be able to complete the group task.

Now this problem has been solved!

"The real 'skeleton' of this ring is precisely the flow of particles moving close to the speed of light within the ring!" The proposer excitedly explained the most important part of his idea.

"When gravity needs to be weakened, for example, the star absorbs too much plasma material at one time, and our low-temperature matter is not enough, we only need to reverse accelerate the particle flow, slow down the particle flow, and the strong gravitational force will decrease, and even the amount of stellar matter absorbed by gravity will also decrease, and even we can turn it off when we want, and turn it on when we want......

After talking like this for a long time, when the proposer of the plan came back to his senses, the channel was completely silent.

“…… Hey? Why is it so quiet? If there's anything missing, you say. ”

Urged by the proposer of the plan, the other gatherers woke up like a dream.

"Nothing to say, it's perfect......"

"And the demand for resources is not high, just a few planets......"

"So what are you waiting for? It's time to start construction! I can't wait to see such a perfect stellar monostructure. ”
