Chapter 814: It's a Matter of Course
During the construction of the planetary gravitational ring, Dalí physical scientists on the home planet fell in love with outdoor extrastellar activities, which were previously only carried out by astrophysicists, but this time expanded to the entire physics community, regardless of whether they were studying microscopic quanta or applied physics.
They weren't looking at a star or a newly discovered object, they were looking at the rings being built in the orbit of the parent star.
Probably because of the mastery of astronomical observation skills, astrophysicists are far more valued by the Dalí scientific community than in the past, and physicists in other fields who want to go outdoors to observe the construction of planetary gravitational rings are usually invited by a few astrophysicists.
The Dali people did not stop such a blatant 'observation' of the gatherers, there is no theoretical basis, even if they look at it, they can't understand it, at most they understand the structure of the gravitational ring to a certain extent, even if they take a step back, the Dali people discovered the mystery of faster-than-light by observing the construction of the gravitational ring, and they do not have the ability to develop into a faster-than-light civilization without the permission of the collectors.
This is the sorrow of the vassal civilization, the lifeblood has always been pinched by the suzerain's civilization.
Because the existing acceleration pipes are only combined into a ring, the construction of the annular acceleration track is soon nearing completion, followed by the acceleration of the ring.
As the internal deflection maintains an increase in the energy level of the electric field, the rings begin to shrink under the astonished gaze of the Dalís on the parent star, from a size equivalent to twice the diameter of the parent star to the same size as the parent star.
At the same time, the side of the planet towards the gravitational ring began to change, and the Dalits there noticeably felt that their bodies were much lighter, and they walked like a moonwalk, and the car flew as they drove.
The gravitational ring lights up a pulsing tail flame in the direction of the planet to counter the pull of the planet, and the huge pipe structure goes around the planet and remains relatively stationary with the planet as a whole, also through the pulse tail flame to push back to avoid being pulled down by the planet's gravity.
These giant pipes are connected to ring-like structures that are equally large in the rear and gravitational rings.
Once the airtightness is confirmed, the massive faster-than-light structure begins to produce negative matter, which will pass around the planet through a huge pipe and accumulate in the ring structure on the other side.
As a result, a planetary-level faster-than-light structure is constructed, which can be carried out at faster-than-light speeds.
As for the rest of the structures, such as the gravitational ring, the negative matter accumulation ring, and the connecting structure of the planets, these can be slowly built along the way.
This time, the construction is ninety percent of the material resources, but let the race harvest another vassal civilization, and the gatherers are still happy to do so.
The planet began to deviate from its original orbit, and with the accumulation of negative matter, the Dalí home star began to show abnormal displacement speed, showing a uniform acceleration state, and soon reached the edge of the parent star system, along with a part of the Gatherer cluster, which was responsible for building a new cluster, and was also responsible for taking care of the Dalís who had become vassals.
Along with the change in the brightness of the star, it indicates that a new supernova explosion is about to occur.
The cluster leader gave new instructions.
"Travel to a new destination and continue to stock up on the Star-Swallowing Giant."
The cluster travels faster than light and travels to a target star eleven light-years away from its current star.
Stars that travel at the speed of light and take eleven years to reach are not needed by gatherers using faster-than-light technology.
With the release of the dazzling light of the destination, a group of gatherers arrives at the destination.
The matter giants prioritize going in the direction of the star, where they mine stellar material, while the cooling giants go to the edge of the star system, ready to receive the hot helium that will be delivered later.
A large amount of hydrogen is mined, and through the rapid cooling of solid helium, it becomes hydrogen at room temperature, and then it is transported to the high-pressure giant by the storage giant, compressed into solid hydrogen and encapsulated into the storage giant.
For a month, all the storage monostructures were filled with hydrogen, and the blow never came, but the cluster leader still gave faster-than-light orders.
The gatherers chose a remote star as a target for the voyage, during which the mined hydrogen material was processed into liquid metallic hydrogen, which was then processed into acceleration pipes.
Upon arrival in the new star system, the hydrogen material is processed, and the cluster repeats the previous exploitation of the star material.
Some of the collectors transferred the acceleration pipeline to the space environment, processed and manufactured into gravitational rings, and built a new batch of biological giants based on the gravitational rings, among which the storage giants accounted for the largest proportion, followed by the cooling giants, and finally the material giants.
As for the antimatter megastructure, the coercion megastructure is not constructed.
The reserves of matter increased with the amount of stellar matter mined, and after jumping to the fourth star, the Gatherer's reserves of matter had reached a considerable size.
Looking at the already extremely abundant material reserves, the cluster leader ordered.
"The next destination is to start trying to build a star-swallowing megastructure."
"Understood!"
A new star system has arrived, a star approaching its twilight years, with a supergiant that is quite large, about 200 times the diameter of the main sequence star in the previous star system of the collectors.
The entire star system is very empty, there are no meteorites, and only a solid planet with a very high orbital speed remains.
If you haven't unlocked the collection of stellar material before, you can't mine the material in this star system, and the available material is too scarce, but now it's different.
The material giant reaches the near-orbit of a supergiant, where gravity extracts the supergiant's material.
Because the material inside supergiant stars is much higher than that of ordinary stars, the amount of solid helium consumed is also very large, and the storage giants go back and forth to cool the giants more frequently.
At the same time as the supergiants were collected, the collectors began to prepare for the construction of the star-swallowing megastructure.
"Let's get started, don't waste time."
An open area was selected, and a large number of acceleration pipes were transported by the megastructure to construct the ring acceleration pipes before the gravitational ring was formed.
In terms of size, it is also a planetary-level gravitational ring, and the mass of matter consumed to construct such a gravitational ring is very large.
However, the Gatherer's Storage Megastructure is also large enough, and the mass of the object it carries is also large enough, and the mass of the object required to build the Star-Swallowing Giant Construct has been calculated by the Collector a long time ago, so the pressure is not too great.
Everything fell into place.
