After a discussion among the directors, they prepared to advance human civilization towards the Reapers.
If you don't become a reaper, you can only become a bug. Given the choice between the two, everyone will choose to become a reaper.
No one wants to be a bug who lives and dies.
the other side.
The 30 Tianzhou spacecraft that were projected into the Nemesis wormhole have already sailed more than half the distance and are constantly approaching the wormhole.
This project was led by the War Committee, and Huang Mingzhe's Science Committee did not care too much.
The Science Committee is concerned about the development of new human science and technology, the improvement of productivity, and the direction of human science.
Under various pressures, the scientific committee and service committee went all out to finally successfully build the first factory star.
This artificial planet in the orbit of Jupiter's satellite includes an artificial black hole forging factory and outer peripheral facilities.
Ancillary facilities include: large plasma engines, airports, power stations, warehouses and defense systems, etc.
The entire factory star looks like a sphere (artificial black hole forging factory) in the middle. The sphere is on a plane and extends out four support arms.
The support arms then surround a circle of connecting components. At the top of the four support arms are four large satellite cities, each responsible for various functions.
On the satellite city of Factory Star.
The person in charge is the first new human being - Huo Yimin. He had worked for a period of time in the Human Knowledge Development Group. After the new human beings entered outer space, he applied to work in outer space.
This time it happened to be arranged on the factory star, which was responsible for the production of degenerate materials.
"Director Huo, it's time for trial operation." Chief Engineer Lin Fucun floated over.
They were in Dongcheng, a satellite city affiliated with the Factory Star. More than a hundred staff members came here as stand-in robots. Their bodies were in the orbit of Jupiter, 30,000 kilometers away from the Factory Star, flying dynamically synchronously with the Factory Star.
“Let’s start the trial run!”
Huo Yimin gave the order, and everyone entered a tense and anxious working state.
After all, this is the first time to try a small artificial black hole. If something goes wrong, even the body 30,000 kilometers away may be in big trouble.
Facing the most powerful celestial body in the universe, such as a black hole, it's no wonder that they are not nervous. Many people have written suicide notes and dare to work on the factory planet. They are really warriors who put their own lives at risk.
The staff member in charge of the main switch swallowed subconsciously and realized that he was now in the state of a stand-in robot.
The knife is pressed.
A large amount of hydrogen plasma flow rushed into the black hole forging furnace chamber, and instantly a small black hole appeared in the furnace chamber.
At this time, without any warning, Huo Yimin's body became heavy and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the assistance system of the stand-in robot corrected his posture.
All the staff in the control room had similar reactions to Huo Yimin. This was the gravitational effect caused by the gravity of the artificial black hole acting on them.
Everyone is concentrating on controlling the artificial black hole forging factory, and they cannot afford to be careless now.
"What's the data?" Huo Yimin asked loudly.
Chief Engineer Lin Fucun quickly glanced at the data on the dashboard: "No problem, everything is within the expected parameters."
Huo Yimin loudly ordered: "Attention, all units, continue to invest in raw materials, and pay attention to antimatter."
"receive."
Time keeps jumping, 50S...200S...603S...
"Reaction end countdown 10...6..."
At both ends of the forging furnace, two strong electromagnetic attractors, one positive and one negative, are automatically activated by the system.
The black hole began to self-destruct and shrink rapidly. At the same time, a large number of by-products of the reaction, such as positive protons, negative protons, positrons, negative electrons, neutrinos, photons, etc., began to escape from the constraints of the black hole.
If there were not two opposite strong magnetic attractors, the consequence would be that the 30 tons of antimatter and positive matter would directly annihilate and explode, equivalent to 1.2 trillion equivalents of TNT exploding in the core of the factory star.
Huang Mingzhe, who had anticipated this situation for a long time, solved this problem at the beginning of the design.
Two strong magnetic attractors clearly attract positive matter and antimatter to both sides, while the degenerate material itself is weakly magnetic and is a superheavy solid, so it naturally stays in place.
After sucking away the by-products, the nanorobot formed a sphere on the upper side and carried the 850-ton N16 substance out of the black hole forging furnace chamber.
These transported N16 subnucleons will be forged into N16-N-2 subnuclear molecules of different areas as needed.
Chief Engineer Lin Fu entered the components they needed now on the generation area, namely the degenerate core components of the factory star.
In a tense atmosphere, the second forging of finished products began.
Many products cannot be successfully manufactured in one or two forgings.
Looking at the degenerate products forged one by one, Huo Yimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also dissatisfied with the production efficiency.
"It seems that we need to arrange other factory stars as soon as possible." Huo Yimin said to himself.
After hearing Huo Yimin's words, Lin Fucun naturally understood that the current production model was wasting the productivity of the Black Hole Forging Factory.
Only by focusing on producing one or two products can the production efficiency of the Black Hole Forging Factory be greatly improved.
As now, a black hole forging furnace produces dozens of products, resulting in the overall output of degenerate materials being less than 15% of the original design.
"Lao Huo, it's time for you to report the good news to the superiors." Lin Fucun reminded.
"Uh... these words woke up the dreamer." Huo Yimin patted his head, turned around, picked up the communicator, and quickly wrote a trial operation report.
…
Huang Mingzhe, who was on the moon, closed the report.
Overall, he is satisfied with the trial operation of the first phase of Factory Star.
Although the production efficiency has not reached the highest daily output of 68,000 tons of degenerate materials, it is still very qualified as a product mother machine for degenerate materials.
Previously, the Lunar Large Particle Collider could produce less than 15 kilograms of degenerate material in a month. Now this productivity has increased hundreds of thousands of times.
With the first factory star put into production, mass production of degenerate materials has been initially achieved.
Next, we only need to copy the factory star like a chicken and an egg, and the production volume of degenerate materials will increase explosively.
The Science Committee and the Service Committee decided to place six more factory stars in the orbit of Jupiter.
After receiving the news, the War Council also wanted to obtain a batch of degenerate materials from the factory star for research.
The defensive power of degenerate materials alone is enough to increase the strength of the spacecraft shell by several orders of magnitude.
In many science fiction novels, those spaceships can fly at sub-light speed, and these spaceships are easily destroyed by laser cannons or electromagnetic cannons in war.
As a result, a very embarrassing problem arises. Even an atom traveling at sub-light speed will easily damage the spacecraft as the speed of the spacecraft increases.
In interstellar space, cosmic dust, asteroids, and small debris are densely packed. A spacecraft that cannot even stop laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons wants to fly at sublight speeds.
It is estimated that as soon as the spacecraft started moving, the spacecraft was sieved by the free particles in the universe.
So if you want the spacecraft to fly at sub-light speed, you need a degenerate shell, or some kind of phase shift technology, or energy shield technology.
A spaceship that can fly at sub-light speed means that it is immune to most laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons.
