Chapter 160 Catch the Shadow of Space
Humans are actually very complex creatures.
Under the maintenance of social order and even the establishment of classes, many people hope to climb to a higher level.
As small as a position in a company or a title in the system.
As big as the status level in the officialdom.
It's nothing more than following a truth.
That is when people go to high places and water flows to low places.
And for all mankind and even the earth, this is actually the case.
The human collective is also a vision to move towards a higher level of civilization.
When the planetary defense system announced its Dyson plan, it instantly caused surging waves around the world.
Those overseas countries were extremely shocked, especially when China had already begun to build a city on Mars, and they were trying to carry out such a grand plan. This courage alone was beyond their reach.
When I learned that Dyson's plan was launched by Chen Yuan, I became even more convinced of his admiration.
Even many leaders began to regret it.
"How great would it be if we dug up Lao Chen when he was just a seedling a few years ago."
"What a pity, this is our most regrettable choice and never took action."
What they were impressed was Chen Yuan, who would be Chinese. If they could have the talent of Chen Yuan in the past, they might be the one who dominated the earth.
But this is just a regret, and it can only be a fantasy.
After all, time cannot be reversed, and even regret is useless.
What domestic netizens are most interested in is about what Dyson ball will look like if it really appears?
At the fanatical request of fans, the account of Handicraft Lao Chen started the live broadcast again.
Faced with Chen Yuan's appearance, the earliest fans still had the impression of Lao Chen as the approachable handmade anchor.
In fact, Chen Yuan is the same now.
During the live broadcast, he and netizens explained, "Initially, what people imagined about Dyson Ball was a solid shell that wrapped around the sun."
"But this is too big, it is very easy to be impacted and cannot be fixed. It may also hit the sun, collapse directly and finally be sucked in by the sun."
"So someone proposed a variant of Dyson's ball - Dyson Cloud, which is Dyson Ring."
"This is composed of a huge number of independent structures that are densely surrounded by the sun, usually solar collecting satellites and space settlements, similar to clouds surrounding the earth."
"Building a Dyson Cloud has several advantages: the built components can be selected in a variety of sizes, so that they can be gradually built over a long historical period, and different forms of infinite energy transmission can also transmit energy between different structures."
But under Chen Yuan's explanation, netizens also found the key point.
That is, it is not difficult to build such a Dyson Cloud.
It's nothing more than the sun is too big.
That means a large number of satellites are needed.
Assuming each satellite has an area of one square kilometer, it will take at least 30 trillion satellites to circle the sun.
Even if the distance between satellites is widened a little, 10 billion tons of data is still needed!
And they have to be arranged in a regular manner into a suitable formation.
In addition, a permanent space settlement is needed in space to build satellite rings. That is, we need data, design and energy.
I have to say that netizens are full of talents, and these issues are basically on the point.
"And there are a lot of materials, where can Lao Chen get these materials?"
"Silly, Old Chen will definitely think of the problems we can think of, and find a solution."
Just as netizens said, Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "In fact, under the analysis of relevant researchers, in order to obtain a large amount of raw materials for building Dyson Cloud, an entire planet needs to be mined."
"We currently choose Mercury because there are few floating objects near Mercury, which is closest to the sun, and Mercury has no atmosphere, and its gravity is only one-third of the Earth's surface. Most importantly, Mercury is rich in metals!"
"If relevant technologies are improved, we humans may only need to mine half of Mercury, and after that, the Dyson Ring established can always solve the human energy problem."
"Until the day when the sun dies."
Chen Yuan drew a cake for netizens, but this is really an unusual cake, which makes them feel like waves rolling inside.
Endless energy also means that human science and technology will explode again.
The scene at that time was definitely full of imagination.
"Actually, I personally think that Dyson balls should be a scene that appears in science fiction, and there shouldn't be such a device in real life. Even if there is one, Dyson rings may be more in line with scientific laws!"
"Ahhhh, I'm already looking forward to what to do."
"I have to say that Old Chen is so awesome."
"Woooooooooooooooooo, I can't even think of killing me. I can still see the sun ringing in my lifetime."
"After that being said, can you really see it in your lifetime?"
"Yes, sure." Chen Yuan nodded with great certainty, not only his confidence in himself, but also his confidence in China.
However, Chen Yuan is also very clear that there is an obvious problem with the structure of Dyson's ball.
That is the problem of stress.
If the Dyson ball is fixed relative to a distant star, then the star's powerful gravity will instantly pull the Dyson ball into the star. Even if it rotates, the Dyson ball can only be saved for one round, and the rest will still be pulled in.
In other words, there is no data that can support the Dyson ball structure without relying on centripetal force offset.
But Chen Yuan has decided to establish a magnetic levitation system in it.
Use huge magnetic levitation to pull.
When Chen Yuan made the relevant plan, a message from Mars made him put down his work.
It was early morning.
The window looks very quiet, and only occasionally comes from the window with a breeze.
Chen Yuan, who was sitting by the bed and working, just after taking a shower, seemed very comfortable.
A photo is printed on the fax device around you.
Chen Yuan put down his work, picked up the photo and put it under the lamp holder.
However, at that moment, he seemed to fall into the ice cave.
The whole person fell into a dead silence.
His pupils also shrank strangely.
The photo was taken by Zhurong 2 on the surface of Mars, and on one side of the photo, the shadow of space that made Chen Yuan remember him appear again.
This time, Chen Yuan can be sure that the shadow of space really exists!
"Catch you, this time, I will never miss you!" Chen Yuan showed full fanaticism. No one knew how curious he was about the shadow of space.
Just like the mysterious Pandora's box, Chen Yuan has made plans to welcome the unknown.
Chen Yuan quickly contacted Wang Shenlan because this photo was passed on to him by Wang Shenlan.
