Chapter 560 Roll up Your Sleeves and Work Hard

This project is extremely difficult, but humans did not rush into it without any preparation. On the contrary, during the voyage, humans worked together to basically complete the preliminary preparations.

For example, design, site selection, intelligence and other work can all be completed at this stage. Therefore, when arriving at the target star field, the project really began.

This time, due to the space construction, the human fleet did not choose one of the stars in the target star field as a stopover point. Instead, after arriving at the target star field, it chose to slow down directly in deep space, allowing the entire fleet to stop in the void of space.

The relative speed of the fleet remained relatively stationary with the stars in this star field.

The entire fleet, about 200 million ships of various types, just hovered in space. Of course, it is not deep space, at least not in the eyes of today's humans.

After completing the deceleration, the nearest star to the fleet is a yellow dwarf star, about one light year away.

This yellow dwarf star has been explored by the advance exploration team. It has as many as 20 planets, including 16 rocky planets, 4 giant gas planets, and a total of 130 satellites in the orbit of the gas planets, and countless other irregular asteroids.

It is the star system with the richest resources in this star field.

The human fleet chose to stop near this star, also because of the convenience of supply. The fleet will receive resources from nearby star systems at this location, and then process them into various components, instruments, and equipment required for the construction of a new particle collider, and then transport them out by the next step of construction machinery for assembly in space.

After all, humans have completely become a wandering civilization, so in the design of all creations, they strive for modularization, and the construction of new particle colliders is the same. Although it is very difficult, this has become a consensus from the engineering department to ordinary people.

This is a particle collider with a length of 6,674 astronomical units. Such a huge robot does not want to become a disposable product after it is built.

So the movable modular design is very important.

In fact, after overcoming a series of basic manufacturing difficulties, the modularization of a collider like this snake is not difficult, especially its acceleration components are actually the same. The difficulty lies in the requirement that these components can be disassembled and moved.

This requires that a thruster must be installed on each module and that each module must be able to withstand the strong acceleration brought by the thruster. Even if the thruster is not installed directly, it is required that a position for the thruster installation must be reserved.

These two requirements alone increase the difficulty of manufacturing a new particle collider from 1 to 100. For this reason, engineers have to take alloy No. 1 into consideration and use it as the framework of each intermediate component. If you just want to make a particle accelerator that is permanently placed in this starry sky, you don’t need to use alloy No. 1 at all, but there is no way.

Even if you reach the peak of the third-level civilization, the manufacture of metal No. 1 is still more difficult than ordinary metals, which results in an increase in time cost. But for humans, the increased time cost is acceptable, after all, no one wants to build a collider that cannot be moved.

The project officially entered the actual construction stage. When the fleet completed deceleration, the eight new strong artificial intelligences created during the voyage had already set off, taking their respective construction spacecrafts and heading towards their respective targets.

The patrol team assigned to the task also went with them. They will work with the eight strong artificial intelligences as the first resource mining team to develop the eight selected star systems in the plan.

Of course, if you want to develop eight star systems at the same time, eight strong artificial intelligences are far from enough, because there is more than one rocky planet in each star system. If there are only eight strong artificial intelligences, then humans will have to mine one planet at a time. If so, it is conceivable that the plan to hollow out the planets in the entire star system cannot be completed within a thousand years.

So it is the first batch. After the first batch of resource mining teams set off, the human fleet needs to continue to create more strong artificial intelligences, allowing them to continue to go to their respective target star systems and mine resources on other planets inside.

Xiao Hui was one of them before, but her main job was to provide the human fleet with various supplies and resources needed to create more strong artificial intelligences in the early stage, rather than developing the entire star system, so she was arranged in the nearest yellow dwarf in front of her.

Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Hui to mine the resources of the entire star system alone. This is not a problem of ability, but a problem of communication system delay.

This is why humans need more strong artificial intelligence.

The planets in the star system cannot be put together. Basically, each planet is dozens or even hundreds of astronomical units apart. At such a distance, a strong artificial intelligence cannot control the mining equipment of the entire star system. They can only be responsible for the mining tasks of a single planet at most.

Yes, it is a strong artificial intelligence that controls the resource mining equipment.

It is true that humans have the ability to create nano-mining robots like Xiao Hui, but the technological content required to build that thing is too high and too time-consuming. Therefore, all new strong artificial intelligences in the new particle collider construction plan are not manufactured according to this standard, but as before, a host carrying strong artificial intelligence is manufactured and installed on the spacecraft.

Then this strong artificial intelligence controls its own spaceship and the supporting resources to develop various engineering ships and go to mining.

This is the most efficient way.

Humans plan to equip strong artificial intelligence resource mining teams according to the number of rocky planets in each star system.

For example, now, after the first mining team set off, the human fleet has immediately started to organize the second mining team. Before the resources are replenished, the human fleet uses the inventory. At the current construction speed, the inventory can last until the new resources mined by Xiao Hui arrive.

Everything is as planned.

At the command of the new government, the entire human civilization has moved, and the registration of volunteers for the mining patrol team has reached the level of appointment. Perhaps everyone knows that this time humans will stay in this space for a long time, so they have begun to consciously look for the fun of future life.

Almost at the same time, the great commander of the Chiyan civilization also applied to humans, asking the people of the Chiyan civilization to join this major construction.
