2056.Vaxian Core Industrial Zone (middle)

In fact, the launch of Dyson Ring is not today, today is just the complete closed-loop completion of Dyson Ring.

The construction of Vaxian Dyson Ring is divided into eight phases, each phase contains more than 7,000 partitions for construction. After each stage is completed, the energy extraction device will be started immediately to bring more energy to Vaxian Planet to maintain more industrial facilities.

These eight stages of energy extraction devices correspond to the eight super laser transmitters on Dyson Ring.

When the energy in the first stage begins to be extracted, this extremely huge energy begins to be used elsewhere - Vex Planet (Vex).

Vex Planet is an uninhabited planet, which is not suitable for biological habitation. The reason is very simple. The astronomical environment around this galaxy is very harsh.

Among Vex System, there is only one solitary planet, Vex Planet. The other planets were either deprived by the surrounding celestial bodies, or became countless fragments in mutual collisions, and eventually evolved into the asteroid belt at the edge of the galaxy. And even this asteroid belt will not last long, and is expected to be sucked away by the surrounding stars within tens of thousands of years.

The surrounding celestial bodies?

Vex System is located at the edge of a nebula called Mensua Nebula. This nebula can be said to be one of the scariest places in Modell Sector. At the core of the nebula is a large star cluster composed of countless blue giant stars and Blackhole, which produces extremely powerful cosmic radiation. Ordinary spacecraft will be destroyed by the radiation just by approaching here.

There are almost no formed planetary systems in the nebula, or there are not many planets at all. Most of them have been torn apart and absorbed by those super-massive blue giant stars and Blackhole.

In addition to the extremely massive star cluster in the center of the nebula, there are a large number of white dwarfs, brown dwarfs, neutron stars, micro Blackhole, and even a large number of variable stars scattered around the nebula. There are traps almost everywhere around these stars. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces.

Mensua Nebula was once the secret hideout of many interstellar pirates, but they only dared to build their space stations around the nebula. However, with the rise of Duchy of Dawn and the continuous development of Modell Sector, these interstellar pirates have basically been eliminated.

Now, Mensua Nebula has become the base that supplies Vaxian Planet with a large number of raw materials for manufacturing Dyson Ring. Next to Vex Planet, United Mining Group has already built countless huge mining and smelting centers here.

Duchy of Dawn first spent a huge amount of money to build the first stage Dyson Ring using materials mined on daily basis. Then the first-stage Dyson Ring is used to provide energy to this 'Matter Unloader' experimental model to mine white dwarf star material.

Matter Unloader, United Mining Group applied to Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao, and obtained the technology only after receiving his personal approval, and spent a huge amount of materials, manpower and financial resources to complete the research and development. And the technology of Matter Unloader is already an extremely advanced technology in the vast database of the mothership!

This device sounds very simple. It is specially used to mine minerals in ultra-high pressure environments.

But this alone is scary enough, because the complete version of Matter Unloader can directly mine the substance Blackhole!

However, at this stage, the Matter Unloader used by United Mining Group is still a rudimentary version and can only decompress matter on stars such as white dwarfs, which have relatively less terrifying gravity.

White dwarfs, neutron stars, and Blackhole are all stars formed by the collapse of matter after stars age. What they have in common is that they all have very strong gravity, extremely high density, and extremely high mass.

Even the white dwarf with the lowest density and mass among them has a gravity equivalent to more than 180,000 times the standard gravity of Coruscant!

Under such ultra-high gravity and ultra-high pressure, even atoms of matter cannot exist and are crushed into free electrons. The substances that exist in such an extreme environment cannot be obtained under normal external conditions.

The basic structure of Matter Unloader is composed of a low-pressure part and a high-pressure part, and also includes high- and low-pressure pipelines, high-pressure pumping devices, etc. that connect the two parts. When mining material on a white dwarf, Matter Unloader will first bring the high-pressure cavity close to the surface of the white dwarf, then subject a small portion of the carried medium to artificial ultra-high pressure treatment, and then send it to the surface of the white dwarf through a high-pressure pumping device in the high-pressure environment of the high-pressure cavity.

After that, Matter Unloader will perform isobaric and isothermal treatment on the high-pressure medium so that the high-pressure medium and the white dwarf surface are at the same temperature and pressure. After that, the high-pressure pumping device stops working and the low-pressure valve opens. At this time, the high-pressure medium will gradually decompress. At this time, the material in the high-pressure part will continue to rush toward the low-pressure part, forming a decompression wave.

At this time, a huge amount of matter will continue to pour into the low-pressure chamber from the high-pressure chamber, causing a detonation effect. This process will generate huge amounts of energy and matter.

To give an inappropriate example, if you mine a gold coin from the white dwarf star, what will eventually be ejected from the low-pressure chamber is 200,000 gold coins!

This also leads to the need for the high-pressure cavity and the low-pressure cavity to be able to withstand such huge material expansion and energy explosion. Ordinary materials cannot do this, and can only be restricted by magnetic fields. In this process, a huge amount of energy is required to compress the material to the extreme and then send it to the surface of the white dwarf star.

And what comes at a huge price is huge efficiency. This efficiency can no longer be called mining. This is clearly ore spraying!! At this time, what restricted Matter Unloader's mining efficiency was actually United Mining Group's lack of own mineral transport ships!!

Not only that, there are many rare materials mined from white dwarf stars. For example, the materials used to build the other seven stages of Dyson Ring were mined from the white dwarf by Matter Unloader.

The surface temperature of a white dwarf can even reach tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, which is several times the surface temperature of an ordinary star. The materials used to make Dyson Ring are naturally the best.

And originally, facing the massive amount of white dwarf material mined, it would take a long time to analyze, research, and test before we can get the best alloy ratio. However, fortunately, in the database of Dyson Ring, there is such a ready-made ratio!

Therefore, such a virtuous circle is formed between Dyson Ring of Vaxian Planet and United Mining Group with Vex Planet as the core. Dyson Ring provides Matter Unloader with a huge amount of energy, and the huge amount of resources produced by Matter Unloader provides a strong guarantee for the further construction of Dyson Ring.

And now, United Mining Group, who has almost unlimited resources, has asked their huge research team to start the next topic - the decompression of neutron stars!

Compared with Vaxian Dyson Ring, the DS-1 combat space station currently being built by the Galactic Empire is simply an ant under the elephant's feet. The 200-kilometer-diameter spherical combat space station and the 9.17 million-kilometer-long, 19,000-kilometer-wide Dyson Ring are not things of the same dimension at all.

However, except for the 8 energy extraction devices, the other parts of Dyson Ring are actually repeated stacking of materials. Compared with DS-1, it seems like building brick walls and photolithography chips.

Interestingly, Duchy of Dawn High Command made a model of the energy required for a cannon to blast Alderaan based on the description of Tang Xiao, and then used it to calculate the results of the bombardment between the DS-1 combat space station and Vaxian Dyson Ring.

The protective performance of DS-1 cannot be calculated, but it can be calculated that it takes an average of 67 shots for DS-1 to completely render Vaxian Dyson Ring useless. And instead of directly destroying it, it caused the Dyson Ring energy extraction device to explode, thus spreading to the entire structure.

Before that, DS-1 had been destroyed by Super Laser Weapon of Dyson Ring.

It's a pity that Dyson Ring can't move.

This is why Duchy of Dawn dares to hold a grand celebration to celebrate the closed loop of Dyson Ring - Vaxian Planet is now even safer than Dawn Star Planet!
