Dyson Sphere Committee

  "Eventually, this mountain will be leveled, right?"

  Climbing in this low-gravity environment is a bit different from the normal environment. Most of the physical strength is spent adjusting one's balance.

  Jilin Xuanxuan felt that her forehead was sweating and she quickly issued a series of instructions. Today's human-computer interaction technology has become quite advanced. The bionic hand in the glass helmet wipes away this sweat very accurately.

  "That's not necessarily true...it still depends on the project plan in the end." Zhang Yuan said: "If a curvature engine is to be installed in this place, the geographical appearance will still be destroyed."

  After about 12 hours, a group of people finally climbed up to the 28,000-meter peak out of breath.

  After exercising for so long, even in a low-gravity environment, even with power armor, I was still exhausted.

  At this height, you can clearly see a looming Dyson sphere in the distance on the horizon, hanging in mid-air. It gradually blooms its own bright light, completely illuminating the land.

  After several hours, it slowly dimmed.

  This wonderful periodic lighting change can spread throughout the Milky Way as time goes by.

  Zhang Yuan kept looking at the Dyson ball for a long, long time.

  The human construction site in the distance is busy. After adding the new production line, the development speed of the engineers has obviously increased a lot. However, ordinary people still have no way to tell whether industrial production capacity is increasing or decreasing with the naked eye. Only internal staff will appreciate the convenience.

  The planetary curvature engine looks like long lollipops, with a ball on top and a tall and long base tower on the bottom.

  The total height of these towers is 64 kilometers, which is much higher than Mount Olympus!

  They are all rigid structures. Thanks to the small size of this planet and its gravity, which is only half of the moon. Coupled with the emergence of various super materials, human beings can build rigid structures so high - these materials Basically it is the limit of conventional materials.

  At the top is a circular instrument, which is a planetary curvature generator, and they can work in conjunction.

  Basically, the structure of the planetary curvature engine of each level four civilization is roughly the same.

  At least 900 of these planetary curvature engines must be built around the world, so the amount of work is quite large, and it will require people to work overtime for 20 years of hard work day and night.

  Standing on a high mountain and looking into the distance, watching the speeding cars and trains coming and going, it feels like you can see all the small mountains at a glance.

  At the nearest construction site, a group of soldiers were installing purchased munitions. Through the long pipe, it could be seen that it was an ion cannon.

  The performance of this thing is not very good, and a deep defensive foundation will not be built specifically for it. It can be laid casually on the surface and can be used after being connected to energy.

  One of the climbers who was traveling with me happened to be a man in charge of this aspect. He said: "It is estimated that 200,000 ion cannons and 300,000 laser weapons must be placed. This would be considered a battle star." To increase combat effectiveness...the quantity of purchased arms alone is not enough, we have to make some ourselves."

  Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "We have no money. If we had money, we would definitely buy more."

  "First solve the problem of availability, and then find ways to solve the problem of quality. Having combat effectiveness and having no combat effectiveness at all are two different concepts."

  "Is the situation so serious?" The other people were government workers. After hearing their discussion, they also came over.

  "Yes, let me tell you this time, the situation may be quite serious. Even if we make a mistake in prediction, it is still good to prepare for a rainy day."

  Lin Xuanxuan suddenly asked: "Isn't the firepower of 500,000 turrets enough?"

  Zhang Yuan explained: "Of course it's not enough! You have to think about it, this is a planet. Even if there is one turret per square kilometer, there will be millions and tens of millions of turrets, right? There will also need to be various observation rooms. There are many supercomputing centers capable of joint operations. Instead of like now, as long as some turrets can fire at one target at the same time, the mission is completed."

  "The amount of work on this battle star is huge! The curvature engine is just the first step, and the follow-up may take hundreds of years."

  "Nowadays, people just dig holes to live in. What kind of planet is this?"

  Lin Xuanxuan asked again: "What should we do if aliens really come to attack us in the past 20 years? From what you said, it seems quite dangerous."

  Zhang Yuan smiled: "The probability is quite high... So now we are not only vigorously developing the curvature engine, but also vigorously expanding the military, mainly the type of escort-level military spacecraft. Look, the soldiers laying the ion cannon below, In fact, most of them are young people."

  "... Among the young people who have graduated in recent years, at least 10-20% of the population will join the army. Men who are no more than 300 years old will gradually undergo militia training to reach the level of being able to fly a spaceship."

  "Real or false?" Lin Xuanxuan was shocked. The promulgation of such a policy can only show that the government expects the future political situation to become quite severe.

  Zhang Yuan's expression gradually became serious: "Of course it's true! Who would joke about this kind of issue?"

  "Among the large number of civilizations near the Dyson Sphere, only the fourth-level civilizations can be called chess players, and the third-level civilizations are all chess pieces. We plan to leave after developing the battle star. This is what we think internally, but other civilizations do not know They won't trust us either."

  "They will treat us like a chess player."

  "...However, it shouldn't be a direct fight. There are many big chess players, and they will not directly provoke other small chess players for no reason. But I believe that there will soon be some third-level civilizations as chess pieces. Come to test our attitude..."

  Another government worker whispered, "What if expectations are wrong?"

  Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course that's the best thing. Just treat it as a false alarm. The junk arms you bought will be eliminated in the future. It's okay to spend some money to buy peace of mind. In fact, it doesn't matter."

  …

  Time slipped away unknowingly under such intense preparations.

  Then, six months later, the power represented by the trading market really left.

  "Goodbye, friends who are building the Dyson Sphere together. According to some agreements from our superiors, we must leave here."

  "I hope we can get together again someday in the future."

  "And I wish you long-lasting progress."

  These big bugs with yellow spines said before leaving.

  "goodbye!"

  Zhang Yuan watched helplessly as this fleet left.

  The Thornhaman civilization does not have many spaceships, not even a battle star. But no civilization would despise them for this.

  In just a few minutes, the ships disappeared from sight.

  When seeing this most powerful political force leaving the planetary system, the rest of the interstellar civilization seemed a little ready to move.

  The terrible silence lasted for a month. During this period of time, people had no communication with other alien civilizations.

  There is no communication in the true sense. You can see each other's battle stars and spaceships, but there is no information exchange.

  At this time, people really understood the weight of those few ships leaving.

  This starry sky, with the departure of the administrator, seems to have returned to its original wild and disorderly state.

  Wan Laishuang competes for freedom!

  A month later, electromagnetic communication finally reached the hands of the new human civilization. Several major forces invited various civilizations to participate in discussions on "cooperation matters regarding the maintenance of the Dyson sphere."

  This is a bit similar to the United Nations on Earth, but it is also a historical necessity. Is it really possible to fight directly?

  After careful consideration, the New Humanity sent diplomats out. A few days later, they brought some not-so-good news...
