Chapter 248: Building the Dyson Sphere
The cosmic civilization race trading market set up by the Coronde civilization itself has huge resources, plus those resource planets, it can be said that as long as you are willing to spend points, you can buy anything you want.
Building a stellar battleship requires a lot of materials, and the various resources needed to craft these materials need to be mined from some special resource planets, and only four of the planets in the binary system are eligible, but this is not enough.
Although there are many such planets in other star systems in Andromeda, it is troublesome to mine, too far away, too time-consuming, and the speed of transporting resources cannot keep up with the speed of construction, so if you want to build a star battleship as quickly as possible, you have to buy resource planets.
After asking Jarvis to come up with the information on the various types of resource planets he needed, Meng Ke asked the Terminators to drive the planet fortress to the trading market established by the Corender civilization.
By the time they returned, they were already followed by several huge transport ships that were millions of kilometers long, dragging more than twenty resource planets here. These resource planets cost a total of 600 million points, but fortunately, there is Jarvis, otherwise the Earth civilization really wouldn't be able to get so many points.
The transports left after abandoning all the resource planets in the star system, and the Earth civilization began to build mining ships and mining machines in large numbers, and every day millions of mining ships flew out of the production factories and flew towards those resource planets.
This time, the task is to mine all the resources in the more than 20 resource planets, and then the material factory under the Federal Academy of Sciences is responsible for synthesizing the materials for the construction of the Dyson sphere. This material requires extremely high heat resistance, similar to the composite materials that support artificial suns, but it is stronger than that, and it has a variety of properties such as heat resistance and corrosion resistance.
It's just that the process is not destined to be too short, not only to mine resources and make composite materials, but also to build the framework of the Dyson sphere and the galaxy warship will also take a lot of time. Even with the current level of science and technology of the earth's civilization, it is quite difficult to face this huge project. Just like in the past, when the earth civilization was still a first-level mid-level civilization, it was not an ordinary difficulty to start building manned spacecraft.
However, once the stellar battleship is built, it marks the successful breakthrough of the Earth civilization in the late stage of the third-level civilization and one step closer to the fourth-level civilization.
The most important thing is that the stellar battleship also represents the embodiment of a civilization's powerful technology, not only the people's voice is high, but the scientists of the Federal Academy of Sciences are also like chickens, if they don't really need to rest, they can even go without sleep for several days, just to study the stellar battleship thoroughly. Find out what's lacking and make up for it!
With this enthusiasm, the abilities of various workers and scientists are also extremely efficient.
However, unlike the busyness in the Earth Federation, Meng Ke in the Führer's office was surprisingly silent after giving the order to build.
What he does every day, except for being tired of being with Lu Yue, is to sit alone in a chair in a daze, if someone stands in front of him and looks into his eyes, he will definitely be able to see that there are countless pictures constantly flickering in there, as if he is deducing something.
Every time he was in a daze, Meng Ke always sighed. His face was full of worry
Thirty years have passed, and the twenty resource planets have basically been mined, and a large number of mining ships have begun to be cut and scrapped, and then the materials that have been recycled into secondary processing have been thrown into the material factory.
The construction of the Dyson sphere began 25 years ago. Ninety percent of the two stars in the binary galaxy are now covered by highly heat-resistant materials, which look like two large iron balls from a distance, full of steel.
And during these 30 years, the stars in the binary galaxy have also dimmed their brightness. That's because with the coverage of the Dyson sphere, which has been completed ninety percent, the light of the stars is basically blocked by those two huge iron balls. When the Dyson sphere is fully built, these two stars will not shine at all. All stellar energy will not be wasted, and all of it will be converted into a variety of pure energy sources by the stellar energy harvesting device in the Dyson sphere for use by the Earth Federation and the star warships.
In addition, in the middle of the two stars, a million-kilometer-long steel platform has been completed. It was a platform made of massive metal brackets interlaced, each hollow inside for humans to walk on or dock to warships.
On some metal brackets of this metal platform, there are also some powerful weapons, they are not only used for deterrence, when the war comes, millions of weapons comparable to the main guns of mid-level third-level civilization warships will fire at the same time, that power is much stronger than millions of mid-level third-level civilization warships combined.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the defense capability of the stellar warship, the Federal Academy of Sciences, after continuous research, finally created a primary form of stellar shield, which is based on the research of the planetary shield.
The protection range of the stellar-class shield can not only cover the entire fully completed stellar warship, but its protection capacity is also several times stronger than the planetary shield. Although the energy consumption is more terrifying, with two resource stars in hand, this shield can withstand the energy impact of ten stars that have a supernova explosion at the same time, at the cost of scrapping one resource star.
Of course, unless you have enough to eat, the Earth Federation won't be stupid enough to do that.
Earth and New Earth were also included in the construction blueprints of the Stellar Battleship, and two circular spaces were reserved in the middle of the steel platform, where the Earth and New Earth were placed.
After the construction of the Dyson sphere is completed and the two large balls are welded to the steel platform, the earth and the new earth are put in, and the upgraded version of the planetary gravity propulsion engine is used as a planetary stabilizer, and the metal bracket is connected to the planet's gravity propulsion engine, driving the two living planets to follow the star battleship together.
Speaking of moving forward, I have to talk about the propulsion of the star battleship - the planet propulsion.
This is a device that has been conceived for a long time, before the construction of the planet's gravitational propulsion engine, some scientists proposed to install a few of these things on the earth, but this construction was rejected by the council. The reason is that it occupies too much space, and when the planet's gravitational propulsion engine is started, it is easy to cause large-scale earthquakes and continental plate movements, and the strictest may even lead the earth to disintegrate when it advances, so this mention can only be thrown into the horns of the pimple as a bunch of technical data, and no one has paid attention to it for hundreds of years.
Now this technology is picked up again because the Dyson ball itself is equipped with a planetary stabilization device, which can reduce the side effects of the planet pusher to less than 0.05%, and the danger caused is basically negligible.
Otherwise, the planetary gravitational propulsion engine used to build the star is too resource-intensive, and the Earth civilization does not have much energy to carry out such a huge plan, so the planetary propulsion becomes the first choice.
Now, the Federal Academy of Sciences has opened a discussion about where to build the planet propulsion, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the results are known. (To be continued......)
