How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 816 Star Swallowing Megastructure

Collectors wrongly estimated the speed at which clusters would build.

Due to the interference of the Great Destruction, the star-eating giant structure that the collectors wanted to build did not go well. After encountering the second supernova strike of the Great Destruction, the wreckage of the star-eating giant structure that had not yet been built was destroyed and the supernova exploded.

After thinking over and over again, the collectors decided to build them separately, and let all the components of each star-swallowing megastructure have super-light speed capabilities, so that when the catastrophe strikes, the components can leave with the cluster at super-light speed. It is no longer necessary to reproduce.

The size of the star-swallowing giant structure is very large. Naturally, such a structure cannot be a whole like a general giant creature.

It is closer to the ripple megastructure, which is composed of multiple large-scale megastructures.

According to the original idea of ​​the collectors, this giant structure can at least quickly swallow all the planets, not only solid planets, but also puffy gaseous giants.

For this reason, the size of the star-eating giant must not be smaller than a celestial body with a mass of 1.5912x10^29kg. This mass is a dividing line, above which are stars, and below which are all kinds of planets and non-nuclear fusion Gas giant 'brown dwarf'.

So what is the specific volume of a non-stellar celestial body with a mass of 1.5912x10^29kg? That's about 84 times the volume of Jupiter.

Based on this standard, the capacity of the star-eating giant structure must be greater than 84 times that of Jupiter, and considering the floating error value, the capacity is initially set at 90 times the volume of Jupiter.

The collectors first build a planetary-level gravitational ring equivalent to twice the diameter of the earth, and then build a ring-shaped pipeline for storing negative matter in a distance extending backward.

As a result, this gravitational ring initially has the ability to distort the space-time around itself and travel faster than the speed of light.

But this does not mean that the star-eating component is completed. The diameter of the ring determines the star-eating capacity of the star-eating giant structure. Therefore, according to the original plan, the diameter of the gravitational ring must be equivalent to the diameter of 90 times the volume of the celestial body of Jupiter.

The gravitational ring, which is only twice the size of the earth's diameter, is obviously far from the diameter of Jupiter's 90 times the volume of the celestial body.

Based on this gravitational ring, it extends outward in a circular shape. After building the supporting structure, the collectors build a circle of acceleration pipelines to accelerate the shrinkage of the pipeline, and form a larger-sized gravitational ring on the outer circle of the original gravitational ring. , and at the rear, a ring-shaped pipeline for storing negative matter is also constructed.

After the construction of the second gravitational ring was completed, the destruction came again.

Fortunately, the collectors were well prepared this time, and the cluster went to the new destination together with the gravitational ring under construction, and continued the construction of the star-eating giant structure in the new star system.

When the circle extends outward, and the outer gravitational ring is completed, the disk composed of three gravitational rings is revealed, but similarly, the diameter of this disk is equivalent to 90 times the diameter of Jupiter, and the structural strength is somewhat unstable. Although it is a combination of three gravitational rings, there is no gravitational ring in the vertical direction of the disc surface to provide support.

At this time, it's the turn of the long gravitational ring, set up the support in advance, and use the laser to ensure the straightness of the acceleration pipe. It extends outward, detours to the other side of the disc, and connects with the acceleration pipeline to form a closed loop.

When the accelerated particles operate, the long gravitational ring shrinks, and the two straight gravitational channels will provide the disc with a support in the vertical direction of the disc surface, and the structural strength is guaranteed.

There are a total of four similar long gravitational rings, making this disc with a diameter equivalent to 90 times the diameter of Jupiter a completely stable structure.

It sounds a bit dreamy, but if those people on the earth who believe in a round sky stand on this disc structure, they will definitely scream and tell others how correct the truth they have always insisted on is.

As a result, one of the components of the star-swallowing giant structure is finally completed.

However, the volume of this structure... If this is compared to a plate, then the earth is a soybean in this plate.

The collectors began to prepare for the construction of another star-swallowing giant structure without stopping.

To be on the safe side, even if the stars in the star system have not changed, the collectors decided to leave the star system at super-light speed and go to the new destination star.

The collectors who arrived in the new star system constructed the gravitational ring again, the planetary-level gravitational ring with a diameter equal to twice the diameter of the earth, exactly the same as the initial construction of the previous huge-scale component.

But the difference is that it is not like a Baumkuchen, a ring of gravitational rings forming a disc. Although it is also a disc, it is a ring-shaped pipe similar to a snail shell structure.

This huge ring-shaped snail pipe is based on the gravitational ring and extends outwards in circles to form a disc surface. The diameter of the disc is equal to the diameter of the previously constructed disc components.

The pipeline on the second floor of the innermost circle is fixed on the innermost gravity ring by a circle of small gravity rings, which has the effect of reinforcement.

During construction, the Gatherers filled the inner pipes with negative matter to counter the structural pressure from above.

Similar to the problem encountered in the previous disc, this ring is also structurally unstable in the vertical direction of the disc, because there is nothing that can maintain stability in this direction.

Therefore, the collector adopted the same buckle-type design idea as the previous disc structure, and through the long gravitational ring of the buckle, the vertical structural strength of the round surface is guaranteed.

This disc structure extends back for a certain distance, and there is a ring-shaped pipe structure, and, through injecting the negative matter into this ring-shaped pipe structure, this component can be made to realize the superluminal speed.

Although the volume of this disc part is large, the comprehensive mass is not as good as the previous disc. Therefore, according to the formula for balancing the negative mass by mass, the mass of negative matter required for superluminal speed is not much.

Due to the lack of demand for gravitational rings, the construction time of the latter disc is much faster than the former one.

After preparing the two most important parts, the collectors began to assemble the star-swallowing giant structure.

The combination is not complicated. Arrange two disc parts of the star-eating giant structure. The discs are on the same plane and keep a distance of about 25 million kilometers from each other. Laser calibration is used to reduce errors.

Then, on the extended part of the long gravitational rings of the two disc parts, a small gravitational ring is respectively buckled on both ends, and then, through the buckle small gravitational ring, the two circular gravitational rings are connected by the long gravitational ring. discs are connected as a whole.

That's right, the appearance structure is somewhat similar to the chain, except that the chain is connected by buckles through electromagnetic molecular materials, while the megastructure components are connected by buckles through gravitational rings, which enlarges the small-scale structure to a larger scale .

Even, by using the gravitational rings interlocking one by one, they can also be tangled into a series of chains across the stars.

Of course, considering the gravity problem of the gravitational ring itself, the mass of the objects connected at both ends of such a chain must be greater than the gravitational ring chain itself.
