Chapter 3 Star Ring

“After the order, start the deployment of the facility construction machine.”

"Commander, considering the physical capacity of the Prometheus spacecraft itself, we will use the material of the planet to create the ring. Once the ring is built, you need to decide the fate of the planet."

“Swallow or keep!”

Fang Kai was stunned for a moment. The literal meanings of these two are very clear, and Fang Kai could understand them. But he needed to refer to the opinions of Tinder.

“Explain the difference between swallowing and retention.”

Tinder replied: "Commander, for you and Prometheus, devouring is the most beneficial. Devouring can obtain a lot of energy in a very short time, but it will also turn the entire planet into dust in a very short time.

Retention is based on moral and cosmic civilization standards. It does not destroy the astral bodies, mainly for continuous mining, and the harvesting energy efficiency is very low.

Generally speaking, such a choice takes more time and the ultimate benefit is far lower than devouring. But the essence of the star ring is still a planet disassembler. As long as the star ring continues to operate, the planet will eventually turn into dust in the universe."

It seems that no matter which one you choose, the final result will be the same. It is just that one focuses on crazy and violent output, and no matter the planet's experience destroys it; the other is relatively gentle, which may bring a very good experience to the planet.

Fang Kai looked at the red planet in front of him and ordered directly: "Swallow it."

Now is not the time to take care of the planet. He remembered that the devouring of dark matter energy was only 3.2 years later. What he has to do now is to repair Prometheus as soon as possible, restore the main energy, start the warp speed again, and escape further!

Saving your life is important!

"After receiving the commander, the Planet Devouring Plan is launched, and the name of the Planet to be devoured is temporarily named: [Red-1]."

"Commander, when you choose to swallow the planet, the planet will be completely decomposed into dust by the ring. According to the solar array energy-efficient speed feedback, the first relay point of the ring is about thirty days."

Fang Kai didn't understand these, so he clicked on the star ring design blueprint given by Fireg before. The most basic star ring requires eight relay points to connect to form a ring, and at the same time, four star ring reactors are built on four equal proportional fulcrums to drive a star ring larger than the star body.

After completing the star ring relay point and star ring reactor, a star ring frame is finally needed to ensure the maximum mass-energy conversion efficiency of the star ring.

Fang Kai couldn't understand the detailed design drawings, so he only found some basic information to view.

He found that building a star ring does not necessarily require building according to the requirements of the blueprint, and it can be completely changed according to the size and mass of the planet itself.

However, Fang Kai was not sure about the relationship between the size and mass of the planet and the construction of the star ring. He only had 3.2 years, and it only took about 1,100 days per day. Moreover, this time was still the time of the estimation of the fire, which was not accurate!

After calculating silently in his mind, Fang Kai said that he needed to speed up the construction of the Star Ring.

"Tinder, is there any way to speed up the construction of the star ring?"

"Computing is underway..."

"Commander, Prometheus is currently in a stellar illumination area. We can build more solar panel arrays and stack solar panels in an orderly manner, which will improve energy acquisition efficiency and allow us to start more facility construction machines."

"As you said, as long as you can speed up the construction of the Star Ring!"

"The command was received and it is being executed."

...

On the planet named Chi-1, hurricanes rolled up sand and gravel all over the sky, covering the sun. The entire planet has no stable atmosphere, causing strong winds to stop.

The red rock and soil was eroded by hurricanes, leaving deep ravines, and traces of weathering can be seen everywhere on this planet.

In the whistling hurricane, the lights appear and disappear. A group of facility construction machines ignore the hurricane's interference and fly smoothly in the sky of this planet.

The gravel mixed with the hurricane was ruthlessly swallowed by these construction machines. After flying for a while, they found a smooth rocky plain landing.

After the construction machine landed, four sharp metal lower limbs were easily rooted in the rock and soil. A spider-shaped construction machine poked a metal conduit as thick as a thumb from its belly.

The top of the conduit is very sharp and pierced directly into the rock and soil, then continues to extend and sink, poking deep into the surface.

"Detection of the central point of Chi-1, start mass-energy conversion, calculate and build drawings, start analysis..."

"The orbit of the Red-1 star ring is being calculated..."

"In the model establishment, a preliminary calculation formula is established: T_n^((k))=4^m/(4^m-1)    T_(m1)^((k1))(h/2)-1/(4^m-1)    T_(m_(-1))^((k))(h),k=1,2,∟"

"Start optimize the algorithm...

"The model is established...it has been calculated that the orbital circumference of the star ring is 48708km."

"Start making nanomaterials..."

“Orbital positioning is underway…”

Four metal lower limbs are pulled out from the ground, rotated diagonally upward, and the body is supported by the metal catheter in the middle abdomen. The four metal lower limbs are tied together and buckled backwards, similar to the shape of an octane. The blue energy halo is slowly condensed on the top of the octane.

Tiny white metal particles gradually form in the energy halo.

"Si—"

A white laser light soared into the sky, crossed the hurricane, broke through the atmosphere, and directly arrived at the orbit of the synchronous ring of the Chi-1 planet.

"The first phase of the star ring relay point construction begins, with a length of 6088.5km, under construction..."

As the first laser appeared, the second and third lasers appeared at the same time. The laser lights combined to form a sky-like light column, illuminating the dim red planet and bringing some light to the surroundings.

Countless converted nanomaterials are fed into synchronous orbits through laser channels and then form part of the star ring relay point.

These nanomaterials have long been set to be positioned and are quickly pieced together on the synchronous orbit. A slightly curved thin frame slowly condenses, and the star ring relay point is forming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fang Kai Station was curious through the glass, and he didn't know how powerful this spacecraft containing the crystallization of civilization and wisdom was.

But looking at the sky-high light columns and gradually forming star ring relay points not far away, Fang Kai felt an extreme shock in the outrageous construction method in front of him.

Built out of thin air at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers!

Is this the means to build a high-level civilization?

"The first phase of the Star Ring construction has officially begun. The commander has made more solar arrays according to your requirements. It is recommended that you consume a certain amount of energy to start the composite solar array. It not only optimizes the current solar array, but also improves the energy acquisition efficiency."
