Less than three days.

The scale of life metals on the surface of Mars has expanded to 100 billion tons.

The tungsten contained in the entire surface of the Sanmu Mountain Range and the strata about 15,000 meters underground have been emptied.

Although the proportion of tungsten in the living metal is only about 7.2%, 100 billion tons of living metal still need to consume 7.2 billion tons of tungsten.

If it weren't for the excavation of a large number of volcanic remnants underground, it might have been possible to gather such a huge amount of tungsten.

When the scale of the living metal reached 100 billion tons, the staff quickly adjusted the control program of the living metal, so that the living metal stopped reproducing itself, and then began to build the ring of the fire star.

The ring of the star Vulcan orbits the entire Martian equator, and this thing is actually a large particle collider.

The reason for the construction of such a huge particle collider is that the current nuclear physics has developed to the limit.

Although it has absorbed some of the physical knowledge of the six-clawed civilization and the intelligent machine civilization, the physics of these two civilizations are not much higher than that of Homo sapiens.

At least Homo sapiens discovered the lower particle of the quark, the first child.

And the six-clawed civilization did not find the first son.

The intelligent machine civilization has discovered the primordial, but they are only theoretical research, let alone the application of the primordial, even the application of quarks cannot be done, and even neutron and proton level technologies are very few.

Theory often comes first in fundamental physics, and there is a serious separation between application and theory.

This is a problem that civilizations at all levels have to face.

In Li Qingye's view, it is true that the first-level civilization should advance to the second-level civilization, and the cutting-edge physical theories at this stage are almost enough.

The problem is theory to application, and this is a chasm that is difficult to cross.

For example, at this time, Homo sapiens already has a lot of knowledge about Hatsuko, and even has various theoretical models, but it is simply impossible to translate these theories into applications.

There are not even a few applications at the proton and neutron levels.

If Homo sapiens can realize the theory of neutron proton-quark-primitron application, then it is estimated that Homo sapiens is not far from a second-level civilization.

This is also the common conclusion of a group of scientists in the current science department.

At this stage of the material, there is simply no way to achieve faster-than-light travel, and even 10% of the speed of light is difficult.

The intelligent civilization that has conquered tens of thousands of planetary systems has a spaceship speed of only 8% of the speed of light, while the quasi-second-level civilization that defeated the intelligent civilization has a spaceship speed of 32% of the speed of light.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]

After Homo sapiens absorbed the technology of intelligent machine civilization, it was actually difficult to achieve a speed of 8% of the speed of light.

Because the navigation technology of the intelligent machine civilization is not a simple plasma thruster and controllable nuclear fusion, but opportunistic.

The intelligent civilization used the gravitational slingshot of the black hole, coupled with various auxiliary technologies, to barely reach 8% of the speed of light.

And there are no black holes near the solar system, even if there are many black holes in the Milky Way, waiting for Homo sapiens spacecraft to fly over, it will take at least hundreds of thousands of years.

It's a terrible technique.

At present, after absorbing the technology of the intelligent civilization, the spacecraft of Homo sapiens can reach the speed of light at 3.5% at the earliest.

At this speed, at most, go to the six-clawed giant, or play with the adjacent system, and don't think about other planetary systems around it.

Instead of traveling hundreds of years to other planetary systems, it is better to continue to immerse yourself in the solar system research and development technology, as long as you point out neutron materials, quark materials, and even primron materials, Homo sapiens is estimated to be a quasi-second-level civilization at that time.

The purpose of building the Ring of Fire Large Particle Collider is to further understand the physical properties of quarks and primorans.

It is only possible to apply these particles if the physical properties of these particles are thoroughly understood.

The previous particle colliders on the Earth and the Moon were too small, and the particle acceleration speed and particle energy level were not enough to hit the first son.

In addition, the Ring of Fire Large Particle Collider has other tasks, such as studying black hole physics, gravitational waves, neutrinos, dark matter, and so on.

As the life metal began to move to the engineering construction stage.

From the city of Sanmu on Mount Paunis as a starting point, a huge pipeline was rapidly built along the equator to the east and west.

It was built at an unprecedented rate.

Since the Vulcan ring pipeline has six-clawed silicon steel as the core component, and what is the most on the surface of Mars? Hematite and silicate, of course.

These two materials are more readily available than elements such as tungsten rhodium.

Therefore, with the full energy supply support of Energy City, about 80 billion tons of six-claw silicon steel can theoretically be refined every five minutes for life metals on Mars.

If it weren't for the handling of raw materials, a part of the delay would result in only 100~20 billion tons of six-claw silicon steel being synthesized every five minutes.

Through these silicon steel materials, a silicon steel pipe with a radius of 50 meters, as well as an attached superconducting coil, "grows" all the way up the Martian equator.

That's an amazing speed.

It's no wonder that the intelligent civilization could expand to tens of thousands of planetary systems.

Even if the life metal of the intelligent machine civilization does not have the function of a magnetic unipolar crystal, and the reproduction rate is less than one percent of the life metal of the Homo sapiens version, as long as the life metal of the intelligent machine civilization is allowed to take root in the planetary system, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now Homo sapiens is the same, even more terrifying.

After all, the magnetic monopole crystal gives the living metal a steady stream of energy, and at the same time, the living metal can be controlled remotely through the magnetic monopole crystal.

It took Homo sapiens several years to build tens of millions of square kilometers of floating islands in the atmosphere of Venus, and nanorobots composed of living metals could be completed in less than a year.

This is also because the surface temperature and pressure of Venus are too high and corrosive, which seriously interferes with the reproduction rate of living metals.

If it is a terrestrial planet like Mars, which has a very low atmospheric pressure and a relatively suitable surface temperature, the expansion rate can reach the limit.

It took less than 14 days.

A ring pipe around the Martian equator was built.

At this time, the staff began to disperse the life metal and gradually complete the other supporting facilities of the Transwarp project.

For example: vacuum system, power supply system and so on.

At the same time, the Mars Colony Branch also received instructions from the head office to fully cooperate with the work of the Science Division and produce a batch of precision instruments.

Although life metals are almost omnipotent in construction projects, they are still powerless for some precision instruments.

Various neutrino detectors, gravitational wave detectors, primron detectors, etc., these delicate work, there is no way for life metals.

Therefore, the manufacturing of these precision instruments is completed by the Mars Colony Branch.

The progress of the Ring of Fire project is advancing at an unprecedented pace.
