How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 583 Stellar Resource Development Mission (6)

Although the general plan has been determined, the collectors once again encountered difficulties in the details, and the root of the problem also comes from the gravitational problem of the accelerated particle flow.

The gravitational force decreases with the distance, in other words, the closer the distance is, the stronger the gravitational force is, and in the ring, the gravitational force received by the inner electric field generating part will be the strongest, which is like There is any matter that can compete with black holes only by its own strength without relying on rotation.

It is true that the electromagnetic force will be effective on a small scale, but if it is used to fight against the strong gravity of a black hole...

We need to design the orbital module strong enough, not only because the accelerated particle flow will bring highly reflective rays, but more importantly, it is used to resist the gravitational force of the particle flow. When this particle flow around the star appears, it will Gravity will gradually reach a level comparable to that of a black hole, so that it can attract stellar matter.

And the one closest to the particle beam will undoubtedly have the strongest gravitational force. Although on a large scale, the structure of the ring is no problem, but on a small scale, it may be difficult for the orbital ring to rely on the strength of the structure alone to resist. Gravity at the level of a black hole is a force that can forcibly tear apart atomic nuclei.

The collectors must consider this point, otherwise, after the ring accelerates to a certain level, the ring will be torn apart from the vertical direction due to the strong gravitational force brought by the particle beam.

Then... Then let's make the orbital module rotate around its long axis, so that it can resist gravity.

Some individuals tried to put forward their own ideas, but this idea was quickly dismissed by other members of the same race.

Nonsense! The ring is a whole, how can it rotate?

Yes, it would be fine if the track was a straight line, but this is a curved ring, which will inevitably cause the ring wall to bear tension when it is on the outside, and compression when it is on the inside.

The collectors began to discuss in depth based on this issue. Not all individuals believed that the ring would not be able to bear it, and these collectors were very confident in the local longitudinal bearing capacity of the ring.

There are electromagnetic forces at small scales, which in turn allow deformation of the structure.

That depends on the situation. The gravitational force of a black hole is not at the level of the gravitational force of a star. The distance between atoms will be shortened, and the volume of the orbital module will shrink on a macro scale, which will inevitably lead to deformation of the entire ring structure. , which further leads to the failure of the electric field orbit to maintain the circular state, thus causing the overall structure to collapse.

In order to let all individuals understand, the physical model of the ring is created again in the channel, and this time, the cross-section of the ring is formed, and it is also the cross-section of the orbital module. In this cross-section, the gravitational force will form the force in four directions. , to extrude the cross section.

For peers, the two forces are balanced, and the forces in these four directions will not cause the cross-section to displace. Don’t forget that the premise of this kind of force analysis is that the force-bearing object itself will not be damaged by the force. The four The pressure in the direction will force the circular cross-section to compress, the nuclei will be squeezed together, and the electrons will be squeezed out. When the gravitational force reaches a certain level, it can even be squeezed into a neutron degenerate state.

Therefore, the collectors were distressed.

Eventually, an individual came up with an idea of ​​his own.

It's all the same. We can just think about it according to the idea of ​​fighting against planetary pressure. We only need to use a very high-strength material to make the orbital module to resist the strong gravitational force of the particle beam.

What material? asked the other gatherers.

The proponent of the solution explained his own method to solve this problem.

Using the proton lattice, using this material, we can even save the material for making a strong electric field. The proton lattice is a superconductor. The electrical properties of a superconductor are different from that of ordinary substances. The conductor loses its resistance, and when the current flows through the superconductor, it will There is no heat loss, and the current can form a strong current in the wire without resistance, thereby generating a super-strong magnetic field.

But superconductors have critical values, whether it's current, magnetic field, or temperature.

The initial stage of particle beam acceleration is okay, but when the subsequent particle beam is very close to the speed of light, because the strong inertia of the particle beam close to the speed of light requires a very high electric field value to confine and deflect the particle beam, superconductors may not be competent for the orbital module. Work.

Even a superconductor has its own limitations. If the current exceeds a threshold, the superconductor will lose its superconductivity and become an ordinary conductor. Not only the current, but also the magnetic field, temperature, etc., can make the superconductor lose its superconductivity. conductive.

Considering that the amount of current required by the ring is very large, and the field strength required to deflect the electric field is very high, collectors are not very optimistic about the application of superconductors in the design of the ring.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that superconductors are different from ordinary conductors in that they have no resistance, and they have strong diamagnetism, etc., but after passing a critical current, the superconductor turns back into an ordinary conductor, with resistance again, and diamagnetism. That's good, the physical properties directly become another look.

In mathematical calculations, even if you change 100 billion digits after the decimal point, the result you get cannot be the original one. Therefore, collectors who pursue infallibility have not considered applying superconductors in the ring.

The proponent of the plan denied this point of view of the same race, because it was very clear that the lack of understanding of things by its own race led to misjudgments, and they underestimated some things.

No, a superconductor can do the job. Because the current passing through it will generate a magnetic field on the surface of the superconductor. When the current is large enough to make the surface magnetic field exceed the superconducting critical magnetic field, the superconductor will transform into a normal conductor. The fundamental reason lies in the structural state of the superconductor. It is broken, so it returns to an ordinary conductor, but we have the gravitational force provided by the particle beam. This strong gravitational force will put a strong pressure on the proton lattice body, forcing the crystal structure composed of hydrogen nuclei to not be broken by the strong electric field. The critical value of the superconductor can be increased, at least it must be greater than the gravitational pressure on the hydrogen nucleus to break the state of the superconductor.”

The problem was solved, and the collectors began to design the more detailed parts of the orbital module. Just when the design of the orbital module was about to be completed, another individual shouted in the channel.

No! No! No need to make a proton lattice!

What material is used without the proton lattice?

The other collectors were all stunned for a moment.

No, you got it wrong. The collector who raised objections explained.

I mean we can make liquid metal hydrogen first, and then use the gravitational force of the particle beam to compress the liquid metal hydrogen into a proton lattice body. In this way, we can get an integral proton lattice body torus , instead of relying on patching pieces together, as you all know, patching has errors, it is difficult for us to be accurate to every particle, and as the number of pieces increases, the error value will become larger and larger.
