As the speed of osmium ions in the orbit continues to increase, collectors are gradually increasing the energy level of the electric field in the orbit to ensure that the osmium ions will not rush out of the electric field and hit the inner wall of the orbit.

　　The energy level increase is gradually and slowly, and the collectors are very cautious and cautious with each step.

Gradually, this ring around the star has a very obvious gravitational effect, but it is very weak. Standing on the orbit, it feels like standing on the moon. Every step you take is slow motion, and you can’t Step on the ground with too much force, or it will float into space, and it will take a while before it falls back on the surface of the ring.

If human bear children are on the surface of the ring at this time, they may feel novel because of such a low gravitational state, and they are constantly jumping and playing games, but this is not an interesting game, but a very dangerous behavior. .

The ring is not the moon, and it cannot be directly linked to the situation of the moon. If you jump too far in one breath, the person who jumps will be captured by the red dwarf's gravity. The end result is that the ring cannot fall back to the surface of the ring, but it will fall towards the red dwarf. Crimson plasma fire.

The gravity of the ring continues to increase. The speed of the osmium ion beam keeps increasing, increasing and then increasing. The self-decay speed of the osmium ion is slowing down exponentially, because the macroscopic time is constantly slowing down. For the osmium ion , It is more appropriate to describe it with the concept of'the blink of an eye is a millennium'.

The gravity of the ring quickly surpassed the gravity of the earth and slowly moved closer to the gravity of Jupiter. The orbital ring is also in the process, and is also reducing its size proportionally. It is like a computer-built data model that can be scaled arbitrarily. general.

The reason for this effect is gravitation. With the increase of gravitation, the density of the material that constitutes the ring increases. To understand it more simply, it is like a tuft of cotton, which continuously exerts external pressure on the tuft of cotton and compacts it. The volume of will be smaller and smaller, but the mass remains the same, the ring is almost the same, but these are compressed not cotton, but atoms.

　　 When the ring’s gravitational force is greater than Jupiter’s central pressure, the tunnel inside the ring suddenly generates a surge of electric current, which comes from the backlog of liquid metal hydrogen.

The atomic structure of liquid metal hydrogen is'proton-electron-proton'. Two protons share an electron. Now gravity draws the distance between the two protons very close. One proton squeezes out the original orbit of the electron and squeezes out. A degenerate crystal solid structure such as'proton-proton' is formed, and the electrons that are squeezed out of the electron orbit form a very strong current.

　　 It’s just that, because the protons are locked by the gravitational pressure, the magnetic force formed by this current cannot help but fail to destroy the structure of the proton lattice, and in turn enhance the electric field strength.

　　Finally, a stable ring that revolves slowly around the star, even at the scale of the star, can still guarantee its own strength, and is able to continuously extract material from the star, forming a ring.

　　 The ring at this time has shrunk by one-half compared to when it was just built. The diameter of the ring has dropped from two AU to one AU, and the distance to the red dwarf has dropped from one AU to half an AU.

"finished!"

　　 "Wonderful work!"

　　 "How great..."

In the early stage of gravitation, stellar matter reaches the ring, but these are charged particles blown by the stellar wind. As the gravitational force of the ring increases and the distance gets closer, more and more stellar matter moves toward the ring. Considering the direction, in the final time, except for the stellar wind at the north and south poles of the star, other parts of the stellar wind are blowing towards the ring.

　　 From a macro point of view, the overall structure of the red dwarf and the ring is like a circular UFO, with a very rounded, bright cloud-like plasma material in the middle, and then diffuses outwards until it is received by the ring.

The stellar material in the form of a plasma cloud is charged by itself. When it approaches the ring, it will be deflected by a strong magnetic field placed in the vertical direction of the ring to a more precise position on the ring. There is a diversion opening at these positions. These plasmas will be guided into the electric field tunnel, accelerated in the opposite direction, and cooled by the solid helium.

　　Everything is as the collectors originally planned.

　　 "Hurry up! Keep up with the cooling!"

　　 "Hurry up and transfer this batch of used helium to the cooling giant!"

　　 "Hurry up and take away the cooled stellar matter!"

About a month later, almost the mass of an earth was extracted from the red dwarf. According to this mining rate, if the supernova explosion caused by the red dwarf star’s gravity unable to continue to constrain nuclear fusion is not considered, This red dwarf star can be mined by collectors for 13,750 years.

　　 This is only a red dwarf star with half the mass of the sun. If it is a blue dwarf star or a supergiant star, this can produce a greater mass.

Many megastructures were bred, especially the cooling megastructures, because the accumulation of heat is a very fatal problem for the ring, so a lot of cooling megastructures are needed. After the helium is cooled, it is compressed into a solid state by the strong pressure megastructures. Helium resources.

　　 Only the solid helium is required, which is naturally obtained from red dwarfs. Celestial bodies such as stars, especially stars with small masses, have abundant resources of light materials such as hydrogen and helium.

After a period of mining, the collectors in this star system suddenly discovered that they have become very'rich', and the mined material has far exceeded what they need. It is like a poor ghost who suddenly gets it. I bought tens of trillions of dollars in cash~lightnovelpub.net~ When I bought all the things I wanted to buy, I found that there was still a mountain of money left, giving people the illusion of'you can't spend it all'.

　　 Therefore, the collector suggested.

　　 "Should we stop for a while?"

　　Since you can't spend such a huge amount of cash in a single time, just don't spend it at all. There is no need to spend it all at once-this is the idea of ​​the proposer.

　　 This idea quickly resonated with other collectors. Frugality has always been a tradition of collectors. It is enough to mine resources only when necessary.

　　 Then how should I stop?

　　The method is very simple. On the one hand, the gravitational ring is rotated in the opposite direction to weaken the speed of the osmium ion beam in the circular motion in the orbit, thereby lowering the gravitational force.

　　 But there is not much drop, because the strength of the ring itself on the macro scale is considered, so the gravity still exists, but it stays at a level equivalent to the atmospheric pressure in the center of Jupiter.

　　 But there will still be stellar matter attracted by the ring, but it’s not as crazy as before.

For this reason, collectors rely on a strong magnetic field to deflect the stellar matter attracted by gravity to the vertical direction of the torus. These stellar matter deflected by the magnetic field will fall to the red again due to the gravity of the red dwarf. Among dwarfs, a cycle is formed.

Of course, the collectors will not suffer, let alone the action taken for thrift. The strong magnetic field energy that deflects the stellar material comes from the illumination of the red dwarf. In this way, there is no need for the collectors to add additional energy. Come in and maintain.
