Roll Up Your Sleeves and Get to Work

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

For example, design, site selection, and intelligence gathering can all be completed during this stage. Therefore, the project truly begins upon arrival at the Target Star Region.

This time, due to the nature of space construction, the human Great Fleet did not choose one of the stars in the Target Star Region as a docking point. Instead, after arriving at the Target Star Region, it chose to slow down directly in deep space, leaving the entire Great Fleet suspended in the void of space.

The Great Fleet maintained a relative speed of stationary relative to the stars in this region of the star system.

The entire Great Fleet, consisting of approximately two hundred million ships of various types, hovered in space. Of course, it wasn't exactly deep space, at least not from the perspective of modern humans.

After decelerating, the Great Fleet was closest to a Yellow Dwarf Star, about one light-year away.

This Yellow Dwarf Star has been thoroughly explored by the advance Exploration Team. It contains as many as 20 planets, including 16 Rocky Planet, 4 Giant Gas Planet, 130 moons orbiting the Gaseous Planet, and countless other irregular asteroids.

It is considered the most resource-rich Star System in this star field.

The human Great Fleet chose to stop near this star partly because of the convenience of resupply. The Great Fleet will receive resources from nearby Star System at this location, then process them into various components, instruments, and equipment needed to build the New Particle Collider. These will then be transported to space by subsequent construction machinery for assembly.

Humanity has become a Wandering Civilization, so in the design of all creations, we strive for modularity. The construction of the New Particle Collider is no exception. Although it is extremely difficult, this has become a consensus from the Engineering Department to ordinary people.

This is a Particle Collider that is 6,674 Astronomical Unit long. Robots of this size don't want to become disposable products after they are built.

Therefore, movable modular design is very important.

In fact, after overcoming a series of basic manufacturing difficulties, modularizing a collider like this long snake is not difficult, especially since its acceleration components are all the same. The difficulty lies in requiring these components to be disassembled and moved.

This requires that each module be equipped with a thruster and that each module be able to withstand the powerful acceleration provided by the thruster. Even if the thrusters are not directly installed, there must be space reserved for their installation.

These two requirements alone increased the difficulty of building New Particle Collider from 1 to 100. As a result, engineers had to incorporate Alloy No. 1 I as the framework for every intermediate component. If it were simply about building a particle accelerator to be permanently placed in space, Alloy No. 1 I wouldn't be needed at all, but there was no other way.

Even at the pinnacle of Level 3 Civilization, manufacturing No. 1 Metal is still more difficult than manufacturing ordinary metals, thus increasing the time cost. However, for humanity, the increased time cost is acceptable, since no one wants to build a stationary collider.

The project officially entered the actual construction phase. As the Great Fleet completed its deceleration, the eight new Strong Artificial Intelligence created during the voyage set off, each carrying its own construction spaceship toward its respective goal.

Accompanying them were patrol teams assigned to the mission, who, along with eight Strong Artificial Intelligence, would form the first resource extraction teams to develop the eight selected Star System.

Of course, eight Strong Artificial Intelligence are far from enough to simultaneously develop eight Star System, because each Star System contains more than one Rocky Planet. If it were just eight Strong Artificial Intelligence, humanity would have to mine each planet one by one, and it's conceivable that it would be impossible to complete the plan of excavating all the planets in the entire Star System within a thousand years.

Therefore, after the first batch of resource extraction teams set off, the human Great Fleet will need to continue to create more Strong Artificial Intelligence so that they can continue to travel to their respective Target Star System to extract resources from other planets within them.

Little Grey 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 Intelligence in the early stages, rather than to develop the entire Star System. Therefore, she was assigned to the nearest Yellow Dwarf Star in front of us.

Of course, it's impossible for Little Grey to mine the resources of the entire Star System by herself. This isn't a matter of ability, but rather a matter of communication system latency.

This is why humanity needs more Strong Artificial Intelligence.

Planets in Star System cannot be clustered together; each planet is typically tens or even hundreds of Astronomical Unit apart. At such distances, a Strong Artificial Intelligence cannot control mining equipment across the entire Star System; at most, it can only be responsible for mining tasks on a single planet.

Yes, it is a resource extraction device controlled by Strong Artificial Intelligence.

Humans are capable of creating Nano Mining Robot like Little Grey, but the technology required to create such things is too advanced and time-consuming. Therefore, in the New Particle Collider construction plan, all the new Strong Artificial Intelligence are not manufactured according to this standard. Instead, as before, a host computer carrying the Strong Artificial Intelligence is created and installed on the spaceship.

Then, this Strong Artificial Intelligence will control its own spaceship and associated resource development Engineering Ship to go to the mining site.

This is the most efficient method.

Humanity plans to equip each Star System with a corresponding number of Strong Artificial Intelligence resource mining teams based on the number of Rocky Planet it possesses.

For example, right now, after the first mining team set off, the human Great Fleet has already begun organizing the second mining team. Until resources are replenished, the human fleet is using its existing stockpile. At the current construction speed, the stockpile can last until the new resources mined by Little Grey arrive.

Everything is going according to plan.

At the New Government's command, all of Human Civilization sprang into action, with volunteer registration for the Mining Area Patrol Team reaching pre-booking levels. Perhaps everyone knew that humanity would be staying in this space for a long time, so they had begun consciously seeking out the joys of future life.

Almost immediately, the Great Commander of the Crimson Flame Civilization also issued an application to humanity, requesting that the people of the Crimson Flame Civilization also join this great construction project.
