The construction of Tianyuan's four large-scale particle collider requires the consumption of more than 700 billion tons of materials. It is unrealistic to mine such a huge amount of materials from Tianyuan A. However, Xiao Yu has his own plan, that is,
Some of the materials are mined from Tianyuan A, and the other part is mined from the asteroid belt.
For this ambitious goal, Xiao Yu built two super giant metal processing plants at two stable points among the five Lagrangian points of Tianyuan B to Tianyuan 4, as well as various supporting equipment.
Equipment production plant.
After the Tianyuan A moving project is completed, a large part of the more than 20,000 material transport spaceships will be idle. It just so happens that Xiao Yu divided these vacant spaceships into two parts. One part is responsible for transporting materials from Tianyuan A, and the other part
, is responsible for collecting minerals from asteroids.
Xiao Yu will control the Tianyuan spacecraft, carrying the supporting escort spacecraft, and sit on the construction track of the four large particle collider around Tianyuan. From this, he will direct the construction project of the entire Tianyuan four star system.
But at this time, a serious problem became apparent. That is, the signal delay was too serious. Among them, the distance from Tianyuan A to here recently reached 18 million kilometers. This
This means a communication delay of two minutes. At the same time, the communication delay with the asteroid belt here also reaches one minute and twenty seconds.
Such communication delay is basically unacceptable, but Xiao Yu has not developed over-distance communication technology. In desperation, Xiao Yu built a giant photon computer in the asteroid belt and Tianyuan A.
, In these two photon computers, Xiao Yu spent a lot of effort to set up a set of automatic processing programs as complete as possible to process most of the data. Only very important data will take time to be sent here.
Xiao Yu will handle it personally.
Through this method, Xiao Yu improved his work efficiency to a level that he could barely accept. However, Xiao Yu was still very dissatisfied with this processing mechanism.
"Over-the-distance communication technology involves quantum entanglement technology. This is something that belongs to the microscopic world. To study the microscopic world, you must study it through the four large particle colliders in Huantianyuan. Alas, it is really a contradiction."
This contradictory situation made Xiao Yu sigh. There was no other way. Xiao Yu could only take into account the ground construction of Tianyuan A and the construction of the large particle collider at the same time through the relatively backward technology of radio wave communication.
It is undoubtedly not cost-effective to start the construction of a large particle collider from just one place. After calculations, Xiao Yu plans to start construction at four points at the same time, and then connect these four sections of pipelines to each other to form
A complete pipeline.
However, this construction method requires very high precision. After all, if after the four sections of pipelines are completed, it would be great fun to find out at the connection point that one of the pipelines is on top and one on the bottom and cannot be connected.
Xiao Yu's standard is that in the more than 200 million kilometers of pipelines, the horizontal error between the upper and lower levels should not exceed one decimeter at most. It is conceivable that this requires high construction technology.
Fortunately, there is neutron star positioning technology. Xiao Yu used sixteen neutron stars to accurately measure the horizontal position of these pipelines, thus ensuring the accuracy requirements of the construction process.
After all technical problems were overcome, Xiao Yu began a vigorous construction project. Thousands of spacecrafts were constantly shuttled between the asteroid belt and the construction site and Tianyuan A and the construction site, bringing countless
supplies, Xiao Yu commanded millions of robots and launched a busy construction project.
The materials brought by these spacecraft are all parts that have been built on the ground or at the large space factory at Tianyuan B-Tianyuan Four Lagrange Point. Xiao Yu only needs to command the robot to assemble them. Therefore,
Xiao Yu's construction speed has reached an astonishing level.
Among them, the two ends of Section A are extending to both sides at a speed of more than 8,000 kilometers per day. This means that in Section A alone, Xiao Yu will lay more than 8,000 kilometers of pipelines every day. This distance is longer than the earth.
radius. With the support of Xiao Yu's unparalleled computing power, numerous robots, and powerful interstellar transportation capabilities, such a rapid construction progress became possible.
Xiao Yu divided the large particle collider into four sections ABCD. Among them, Xiao Yu is located in section A, which is the fastest in construction. Section BC is located on both sides of Tianyuan 4, and the construction speed is second. Section D is located in Tianyuan.
The back side of Yuan Si is the furthest away from Xiao Yu. Communication between the two places must be completed through satellite relay. Correspondingly, the construction progress of Section D is the slowest.
In Xiao Yu's estimation, the entire construction project will take at least twenty years to complete. In other words, in these twenty years, Xiao Yu's focus will be entirely on this project. Basically,
I don't have the energy to do anything else.
But Xiao Yu believes that this effort is worth it. In the dark universe, scientific and technological strength is the most life-saving thing. In order to develop science and technology, no matter how high the price is, it is not too much.
Because the distance is too far and the communication delay is too serious, the construction of the space fort at Tianyuan A has basically come to a standstill. At present, the most important thing is to ensure the operation of the mining base, metal processing plant, and equipment foundry on Tianyuan A.
important.
The construction of Huantianyuan's four large particle colliders is slowly progressing in this busy but orderly situation.
Some time after the construction started, Xiao Yu was surprised to find that while controlling tens of thousands of material transport spaceships and millions of robots, he still had some computing power left, which was far beyond Xiao Yu's expectations.
When he was on Tianyuan A, he controlled millions of robots, as well as various turrets and spaceships, which almost occupied 100% of Xiao Yu's computing power, making Xiao Yu want to start building a new computer immediately, but when he came
After here, Xiao Yu discovered that, except for the serious communication delay, the construction of a large particle collider was actually not troublesome.
Therefore, while building, Xiao Yu also started the research and development of new computers and the compilation of the Heroes of the Sky.
During these thousands of years of development, Xiao Yu's Sky of Heroes has included more than 200 billion stars, except for some dwarf stars, or stars that are obscured by dense dust, or are too far away, too dim, etc.
In addition to the unobservable stars, most of the stars in the Milky Way have been included by Xiao Yu. There are about 200 billion stars in the entire Milky Way, and among them, about 140 billion stars have been included in the sky of heroes by Xiao Yu.
Recording.
Time passed bit by bit. Twenty years passed by in a flash. The entire large particle collider project of more than 200 million kilometers had been built by Xiao Yu. It was 190 million kilometers long. At this time
, Xiao Yu ushered in the day when the A segment and the BC segment were connected.
The first thing that connects to Section A is one end of Section B. In order to welcome this significant day and ensure that nothing goes wrong, Xiao Yu specially controlled Tianyuan No. 4 and personally came to the connection point to direct the connection work on the spot.
The distance between Section A and Section B is less than one kilometer, and at Xiao Yu's usual construction speed, it only takes a few minutes to complete the paving. But after all, this is the connection between the two sections, so we still need to be more cautious, so
Xiao Yu deliberately slowed down the construction speed, personally controlled the robot, and began to lay the pipe walls piece by piece.
Gradually, the distance between section A and section B got closer and closer, and finally reached the critical moment of connection. At this moment, Xiao Yu was surprised to find that the horizontal error between section A and section B was less than one centimeter, which was almost negligible.
.
Just imagine, in the dark space, two pipes extend from two points more than tens of millions of kilometers apart. How precise technology is required to connect these two pipes together?
This is an almost impossible task, but through the ultra-precision positioning technology of neutron stars, Xiao Yu achieved it. This represents another leap forward for Xiao Yu at the technical level.
"My twenty years of hard work are not in vain." Xiao Yu thought happily, and left here after checking everything here.
The successful connection between Section A and Section B means that most of the project has been completed. The next step is the connection between Section A and Section C. Xiao Yu still arrived at the connection point in person and directed the connection work on the spot. The result was also the same.
Exceeding Xiao Yu's expectations, the error between section A and section C was only 1.2 centimeters, which also exceeded Xiao Yu's expectations.
After the connection between Section A and Sections B and C was completed, Xiao Yu began to direct hundreds of thousands of robots to enter the interior of the pipeline to carry out the laying of key lines, equipment acceptance and inspection work. At the same time, Xiao Yu came to Section D and C
The connection point of the paragraphs directs the connection work again.
There are four sections in total and four connection points in total, and the errors are all within two centimeters. This result makes Xiao Yu full of pride.
After all four sections are connected, it means that 95% of the construction of Huantianyuan's four large-scale particle collider has been completed, and the remaining 5% is some equipment debugging, position fine-tuning, and key line laying.
The renovation and other work will take about one year to complete.
Xiao Yu put a lot of effort into this building that is the crystallization of his highest construction technology. On it, Xiao Yu set up an anti-meteorite impact laser cannon every 100 kilometers, and there is a raw material every 1000 kilometers.
At the storage site, there are a total of more than 10 million robots working for this instrument.
After everything was prepared, Xiao Yu controlled the Tianyuan and came to the main control room of the large particle collider, and solemnly issued an order.
"Huantianyuan's four large-scale particle collider begins its first collision test!"
