On top of this, Ye Ting had a new idea.

If you want to create such a galaxy-scale defense mechanism, why not just do it all and create a greater and more practical space megastructure on this basis?

Therefore, according to Ye Ting’s design, in the future, this giant building around the asteroid belt will have a radius of 325 million kilometers, a circumference of about 2 billion kilometers, a width of about 13,000 kilometers, and a thickness of about several kilometers. , Will be a galaxy miracle that integrates defense and housing functions.

Its essence is a ring-shaped world, or Dyson ring.

The so-called ring world is a huge ring-mounted artificial star that revolves around the sun, free from common sense restrictions and spherical constraints, and a huge utopian world that can support a large number of lives.

For a country, population means productivity.

Although at present, the Earth and Mars alone are enough to accommodate the residents of Daqin and more than enough, considering the population growth rate of modern society, Ye Ting believes that within a few hundred years, today's Earth and Mars will be like twenty-one. The earth of the century is generally crowded.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare enough habitable planets before that.

But the existence of the ring world can solve this problem once and for all in a long time.

It should be understood that for ordinary life living on sphere planets, taking into account the factors of sunlight, the area where life can live is limited to the surface of the planet, and most of the matter of a planet exists in the interior of the planet. These substances are basically It has nothing to do with the creatures living on the surface of the planet, and it is greatly wasted.

The ring world is a full use of the planet's material.

The material that was wasted in the sphere world was fully utilized after being spread out into a ring world—because the ring world is a huge and flat ring, and the livable place for life is the inner side of the ring. This kind of world can be fully utilized. Use the sun's light to accommodate more residents on the same material basis.

Ye Ting's plan is to construct a "ring world" with defensive capabilities. The inner side facing the sun is used for living, and the outer side facing the sun is used for defense.

According to estimates, once this ring world is established, the number of people that can be accommodated will be 51,000 times that of the earth (surface area is 51,000 times the surface area of ​​the earth). Calculated by its thickness of five kilometers, its total mass is less than 1% of the earth. Hundred and thirty times.

This mass is very large compared to the Earth and other terrestrial planets, but it is insignificant compared to big brothers such as Jupiter and Saturn.

Chapter 1024 How Many Steps Does It Take to Build a Ring World?

In Ye Ting's vision, this huge ring-shaped world, with its population carrying capacity far more than 50,000 times that of the earth, should be the most important place for humans to live in the solar system in the future.

This huge population carrying capacity basically transforms all the solid planets in the solar system into habitable planets, which is not comparable to a ring of the world.

In Ye Ting's vision, the inner surface of this ring of the world should be artificially arranged with land, ocean, mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands...like the surface of the earth. Of course, the most important thing is to preset the location of the city, and the rest is the picturesque natural scenery.

On the edge of the world, two side walls should be designed with a height of 1,600 kilometers to prevent the atmosphere from leaking into space.

Of course, there is another very important thing, and that is to add gravity to the ring world.

Whether it is the atmosphere around the world or everything on the earth's surface, it needs to be restrained by gravity so as not to spill into space and cause material loss around the world. Humans who are accustomed to the environment of gravity naturally also need to feel down to the ground. However, even if this is done by arranging a large magic circle, artificially created gravity will cause huge consumption.

In fact, there is no such demand in the world.

To obtain gravity similar to the earth, the ring world only needs to keep rotating around the sun at a speed of nearly 5 million kilometers per hour. In this case, the centrifugal force from the ring world will naturally replace gravity and tighten the material in the ring world. The ground is pressed on the base of the world. Because it is in a vacuum environment where the friction of the universe approaches zero, this solution is feasible. As long as some acceleration systems operate, the speed of the ring can reach this theoretical value over time, and then maintain this rotation with almost no additional thrust, just like a top straddling the center of the solar system.

Of course, the biggest problem facing the world in order to be successfully manufactured is not the size of the material, nor the complexity of the astronomical level, nor the construction time in hundreds of years, but the problem of materials.

Material strength is an eternal issue. Due to the volume of the ring world, the base of this giant structure will endure unimaginable mechanical stress during operation, large enough to break any known molecular bonds.

In other words, no matter how strong the man-made material is, the only result of using it to make the world is to completely fall apart.

However, this kind of problem, which is unsolvable for both magical civilization and technological civilization, is not a big problem in Ye Ting's hands.

Because he is a magician-the creator of miracles.

Magic itself is omnipotent, and it is the magician who limits this miracle itself.

And Ye Ting did indeed hold the key to solving this difficulty-the first method.

Although Ye Ting used the first method excessively in order to change the laws of the earth, which directly caused him to sleep temporarily for a long time, this does not mean that Ye Ting was completely unable to use the first method.

In the process of casting Longinus, the spear of God-killing, Ye Ting used another usage of the first method—not to create rules, but to create substances with certain rules, and use this as a rule to impose restrictions. Reduce consumption.

This time, Ye Ting was also prepared to do the same.

As we all know, there are four basic forces in the physical laws of nature-strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force and gravity. They are the basis for the existence of all physical phenomena, and any physical phenomenon is produced by the four basic forces.

Among them, electromagnetic force is the essence of most common physical phenomena in human beings. On the surface, electromagnetic force is a general term for the forces experienced by electric charges and currents in electromagnetic fields, but in fact, in addition to electromagnetic forces, common friction, elasticity, pressure, buoyancy, and even optical-based forces are all manifestations of electromagnetic force. .

Gravity refers to the attraction that exists between materials. The essence is derived from the squeezing of space by the material, and what it manifests is gravity and universal gravitation.

As for the strong and weak nuclear force, it is the force at the molecular and even atomic level.

Whether it is a technological civilization or a magical civilization, basically what can be done is the manipulation of electromagnetic force and gravity. However, with the help of the first method, Ye Ting can go deep into the molecular and atomic levels, change the laws of matter, and create some kind of The material with strong gravitational force between atoms builds the skeleton of the ring world.

After finishing the construction of Afang Palace, Ye Ting decisively started the construction plan of the ring world.

Needless to say, the astronomical design and architectural planning of this kind of galaxy-level giant building still has to rely on BB and Mooncell.

No way, just like when the Afang Palace was built, it is not that Daqin can't do it, but because Daqin's current population is still unable to come up with so many engineers and designers to design a building of this order of magnitude.

Sometimes Ye Ting is really lucky that there is a unique supercomputer like Mooncell in the solar system. Throughout the Great Qin Empire, this supercomputer did not know how much contribution it made.

The complexity of the ring world is indeed beyond imagination, but for this solar system-scale computing power supercomputer, a mere ring world is nothing.

The ingenious design drawings were quickly completed, and after that it was a large-scale construction activity with all the power of the country.

If you want to build such a huge building spanning 2 billion kilometers, it will not work without a sufficient population, but it is impossible to complete this level of construction only by the number of piles, because in this era, the main force of construction is engineering. The spacecraft, and the participating population are all high-quality talents such as engineers and spacecraft pilots—the number is basically tens of millions.

If Daqin had not attached great importance to education, the current Daqin would not be able to make up so many high-quality elites.

To build a ring world, there are about three steps.

The first is to build the base of the ring world, that is, the framework that supports the ring world. This is the simplest and most complicated step in the entire construction process.

It is simple because compared to the finished product with a width of tens of thousands of kilometers and a thickness of 5,000 meters, only the construction of the skeleton is basically made so large, and the amount of engineering required is much less than the next two steps.

It is complicated because of the material requirements of the base site of the ring world—comparatively, the entire ring world is supported by the framework, and the huge stress that is enough to break any molecular bonds mainly acts on the base site.

The "high-strength non-element material" created by Ye Ting using the first method is applied to this base site.

The process of building the base site is considered to be the busiest period of time for Ye Ting in the construction of the whole world. For a whole ten years, every day he has to devote at least ten hours to the creation of "high-strength non-materials"-basic The top is like a humanoid production line.

Chapter 1025

Even people like Ye Ting would get bored to do the same thing with magic at high intensity day after day.

It's a pity that he has no choice. He is the only one who masters magic and can do this kind of thing in the whole Da Qin.

But this kind of busyness is quite worthwhile.

In less than two decades, the base site of the ring world was declared complete. The ring of 2 billion kilometers long appeared in the original position of the asteroid belt, and the first wonder of the solar system has begun to take shape—despite this embryonic horizontality. The cross-sectional area is not as large as imagined.

The base site of the ring world is completed, and the next step is to build the frame of the entire ring world on top of it.

However, Da Qin did not rush to do so.
