Chapter 1 The Second World, the Rings of the Sun!
Chu Cheng saw that on the ecliptic surface of the sun, ten towering black rings ...... They are nesting around each other around the sun!
These black rings are indescribably large, and the diameter of the sun is 1.39 million kilometers, which is enough to hold a million Earths. But these black rings alone cover the entire width of the sun by nearly a quarter, and their diameter is unimaginably majestic!
According to the data given by Xianyi, the diameter of the smallest solar rings is more than 10 million kilometers; As for the outermost and largest solar ring, its diameter has reached an exaggerated diameter of nearly 100 million kilometers.
The spaceship that Chu Cheng was riding on happened to be flying above the ecliptic plane at this time. As the spaceship kept getting closer, Chu Cheng even saw a planet as inconspicuous as a glass bead between the fourth and fifth solar rings.
Is that...... Mercury!
"OMG!" Chu Cheng's pupils dilated, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation. He only felt that the majestic scene in front of him was like a heavy hammer, slamming into his heart, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
At this moment, Chu Cheng's spaceship was very close to the outermost solar ring, and he saw that the material that made up the solar ring seemed to be a black "skin". The color of the "epithelium" is a palpitating pure black that does not reflect any light at all.
Chu Cheng guessed that this "skin" probably has a strong ability to absorb light, and the light and rays released by the sun are absorbed by the film itself, which is why it is so pure!
"Calculate the time, it should be almost started." At this moment, Xian Yi suddenly said something inexplicable.
Although his mind was shocked by the majestic scene in front of him, Chu Cheng still departed a part of his attention to lock on to Xian Yi, and suddenly frowned slightly when he heard this.
Just as Chu Cheng wanted to ask the meaning of Xian Yi's words, the entire spaceship ...... Suddenly, there was a slight vibration!
No! It's not the ship that's shaking, it's the area where the ship is located. Chu Cheng saw the majestic solar rings that were originally in the shape of a saucer layer by layer around the sun, and at this moment, they suddenly began to flip around the sun in unison.
With this flip, the entire space-time around the sun suddenly seemed to be twisted into a pot, even if they were far away, they could really feel the terrifying power, as if there were two extreme powerhouses who were frantically fighting each other in the sea of stars in front of them.
Chu Cheng saw that with the flipping of the solar ring, a spherical skeleton-like structure composed of black rings gradually took shape around the sun, enveloping the sun in it! It was only at this moment that the terrifying power that seemed to shake the entire sea of stars finally stopped.
"See? This is the 'Dyson sphere pattern' of the 'Solar Ring Group'. Chu Cheng's stunned appearance made Xian Yi very useful, and then said proudly, "The so-called 'Dyson sphere' is an idea that human beings have put forward in the old era. The original idea was to create an artificial object that would envelop the entire Sun in order to maximize the amount of energy released from the star. ”
Seeing Chu Cheng looking out of the window stunned, the expression on Xian Yi's face suddenly became even more proud, "The 'Dyson Sphere' in front of you, which is composed of the 'Solar Ring Group', is an improved version of the original 'Dyson Sphere' concept, and a large part of the energy of human beings in the real world comes from it. ”
"There's one thing I don't quite understand." When Chu Cheng heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of doubt, he saw that there was still light coming out from the solar rings that constituted the Dyson sphere, and he was immediately puzzled, "Since the purpose of building the 'Dyson sphere' is to maximize the light, heat and radiation released from the stars, why not make a fully enclosed structure and directly wrap the sun from the beginning?" It shouldn't be difficult for you to build a miracle project like the 'Solar Rings' and to build a fully enclosed 'Dyson sphere'. ”
Chu Cheng's words made Xian Yi slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly, "The young man can, he can actually think of this layer." That's right, completely encapsulating the entire star was indeed the original idea of the 'Dyson sphere'. But have you ever thought that as the largest and most important celestial body in the solar system, the stability of the entire solar system is actually extremely dependent on the sun. Not to mention the stellar winds released from the sun, which constitute the physical boundaries of the entire solar system, the nine planets that orbit the sun alone may undergo irreversible drastic changes after losing the sun's illumination. ”
"You know, the sun occupies 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system! The slightest change in it could cause an upheaval across the solar system! ”
"In order to prevent the stability of the solar system from being disrupted, the 'Dyson sphere' of the 'solar rings' is rigorously calculated as much energy as it will absorb from the sun and how long it will take each time. If the entire sun is completely enveloped just for the sake of energy, it is likely that the solar system itself will eventually collapse! ”
Chu Cheng nodded when he heard this, and Xianyi's words made him pause. I have to say that the breadth and meticulousness of the thinking of the great scientist is indeed amazing, and it also impresses Chu Cheng.
"Of course, there's another reason!" As if he was a little addicted to Chu Cheng's shocked expression, Xian Yi threw out another bombshell after a slight hesitation, "That is, in addition to the 'Dyson Sphere Form', the 'Solar Ring Group' also has another form called 'Stellar Railgun', which is said to be one of the ultimate killers of human civilization!" But what kind of form it is, even I haven't seen it, and in the entire human race, I'm afraid only a few O6-level scientists, including my teacher, know, after all, this is their design! ”
Xian Yi said as she withdrew her gaze from the porthole, she wanted to see if Chu Cheng's expression had become even more shocked. For some reason, every time she saw Chu Cheng shocked, she would feel very useful, and the sense of superiority in her heart would also rise.
Who knew that this time, Chu Cheng did not show any shocked expression. To be exact, Chu Cheng didn't react to what she just said at all, and his eyes were still looking out of the window with a magical obstacle.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Xian Yi suddenly pouted dissatisfiedly, and pushed Chu Cheng hard, Chu Cheng was pushed and stumbled, and then he completely came back to his senses. I saw him point to the innermost solar ring of the 'Solar Ring Group', and said in a horrified tone, "Xianyi, look, that solar ring...... Is it normal? ”
Xian Yi looked in the direction of Chu Cheng's finger, and suddenly, her eyes shrank slightly......

Explanation of terms – about the ecliptic plane: The ecliptic plane refers to the orbital plane of the nine planets that revolve around the sun. The position of the ecliptic plane in space is always changing continuously and irregularly. But in a fluctuating motion, this plane always passes through the center of the sun at any given time.
