The materials to be used for the particle collider were so hard for Ruan Lin that he decided to mine all available minerals on Barnard B and C. And capture all available asteroids within the Barnard star system.

Ruan Lin was even a little worried about whether the two planets would be able to support this huge project.

It is extremely unrealistic to use mining robots for both planets, and due to environmental constraints, Nguyen Lam must build small ships suitable for mining. It is also necessary to lay a large number of robotic assembly lines and refining bases on these two planets, and most importantly, to manufacture superfluid helium, which requires the construction of countless cryogenic control rooms.

He was sitting in the main control room at the moment, frowning, and a passage kept coming to his mind: The first emperor did not start a business and the middle way collapsed.

"Let's take it one step at a time, laying the assembly line and base on the surface is the first step."

Everything was just like the original era of major construction, half of the ships stayed with Ruan Lin in Barnard Star B, and some sailed to Barnard Star C under the command of WIT.

The colonization of the two planets will last for 60 years, and the excavation will not begin until a certain number of robots and mining ships have been built.

During these 60 years, both planets were full of robots. The summits of mountains, between mountains, between rock formations, hundreds of meters deep underground.

They are like moths on these two planets, eating away away at all the minerals little by little.

Countless bases have sprung up on the surface, and one is built almost every 30 minutes.

According to statistics, there are now as many as 400 million robots on Barnard Star B, not counting the robots produced by WIT.

This is like the infinite proliferation of the Zerg in the game, infinite nesting doll production, a total of 10 million refining bases on Barnard Star B, and 800,000 superfluid helium manufacturing devices. There are a total of 200,000 mining vessels.

Due to the need to save raw materials, they look very bad, with traces of tinkering everywhere, like robots picking up garbage, and there is no mechanical sense at all.

At this time, the raw materials of the circumequatorial particle collider have also been collected, 690,000 second-stage magnets, and the superconducting coils manufactured this time, if they are disassembled and flattened, the total length is equivalent to more than 10 times the orbit of Neptune around the sun.

Considering the horrific consumption of electricity, Nguyen Lam also built 3,000 controllable nuclear fusion power stations on the surface.

"It's time for the official work to begin."

Ruan Lin returned to the computer carrier and ordered all the robots in Barnard Star B: "All digging and mining robots will go to the coordinate location at the same time and circle the planet's equator. ”

In a matter of seconds, Ruan Lin had already calculated the intended working place of each robot.

Countless robots stopped their current work, and at the same time they sped up the speed of their tracks, heading to their target location.

After 17 hours, almost all of the robots were in their chosen location, except for a few unlucky ones, who had to dig through the foot of the mountain they were in.

If observed in space, the planet's equator can be seen with the naked eye as black dots that orbit the equator for a full circle.

Ruan Lin gave the last order: "Full speed!" Start digging! In ancient times, there was a fool who moved mountains! Existing equatorial digging through! ”

Countless robots have started the excavation work, and Ruan Lin expects the work to last about 800 hours, and some of the unlucky ones are not digging in good places, and some of the robots who have finished the work ahead of time will have to help them.

And that's just the beginning, and a large oval hole will be dug in the flattest part of the equator.

After 800 hours, this unimaginable project was completed, and a passage 100 meters deep and 200 meters wide was dug simultaneously on the equator of Barnard Star B, and a large elliptical hole with a radius of 50 kilometers was dug in the flattest part of the equator.

Ruan Lin uploaded his consciousness to the dock in a stationary orbit.

From its point of view, Barnard Star B appears to have been cut in half, split in half by a crater around the equator, and a large hole with a diameter of 50 kilometers resembles a nascent crater.

Ruan Lin urged: "WIT, start laying the first and second level acceleration channels." ”

The Particle Collider needs to remove as much material as possible from the inside of the accelerator tube, and any intrusive molecule has the potential to take the energy away. The area where the proton beam is located must be free of gas, and all gas must be evacuated.

Countless robots are busy again, they need to assemble the accelerated devices and pipes that have been produced slowly, this assembly Ruan Lin conservatively estimates that it will take about 15 years, as long as there is a small mistake in the assembly, it may lead to the subsequent failure to run, and it is definitely not practical to check one by one, so this time the assembly is not allowed to make any mistakes.

Sure enough, this is still not realistic, even the robot that performs logical operations will make mistakes, Ruan Lin corrects the problem in time before it occurs every time, and he works in fear every day.

This assembly was carried out for 18 years. At this moment, the circumequatorial particle collider has been built in its entirety.

Ruan Lin shouted excitedly: "wit, cap, take time!" ”

I saw countless robots laying titanium alloy plates on and around the pipes.

After 32 hours, the pipes and all the surrounding areas were uniformly silver-gray.

Some of the robots turned on the propulsion equipment and flew to the surface together, while some of the robots left behind served as maintenance personnel.

The robot flying to the surface continues to lay titanium alloy plates, this time capping, and later superfluid helium will be injected into the tunnel for rapid cooling.

After 12 hours, the titanium alloy plate on the surface was all laid, which also means that the construction of the circumplanetary particle collider has been completed.

The most spectacular is its collision chamber, which is in the final part of the secondary acceleration channel. It is connected by two discs with a radius of 70 meters, and one of the connected pipes is its collision chamber, where the particles collide.

Ruan Lin rubbed his palms and prepared to start the first collision experiment, his heart was extremely restless.

"First collision experiment, begin!"

Under Ruan Lin's order, countless superfluid helium was injected into the channel, and the particle collider officially began operation.

As long as the speed of the particles increases, the more intense the collision will be, which will have a myriad of consequences.

The reason why Ruan Lin wanted to build the two acceleration channels so huge was that he wanted the particle speed to reach its peak, which was about 99.99% of the speed of light. This also ensures that the trials are frequent.

In the simulation, hydrogen tanks begin to be injected into the acceleration pipe, passing through the first channel, the Twin Plasma Tube. Here the protons are ionized and then transported into the RF cavity, where they are emitted into the first acceleration channel, where the heavier ions and protons are also accelerated.

They are then launched into the circum-equatorial acceleration channel, where they will cross 17,329 kilometers to accelerate, but only for a split second.

The circum-equatorial acceleration channel has set up 500 detectors to check that everything is in order.

They are gradually approaching the speed of light! In a few laps they will collide for the first time!
