Chapter 582 - 583 Star Resource Development Mission (6)
Although the general plan has been determined, in details, the collectors have encountered another difficult problem, and the root of the problem is also the gravity problem of the accelerated particle flow.
Gravity decreases with distance. In other words, the closer the distance, the gravitational force will be. In the ring, the gravitational force of the inner electric field generation part will be the strongest, which is like any matter that can compete with the black hole without relying on rotation alone.
Admittedly, electromagnetic force will have an effect on a small scale, but if it is used to fight against the black hole-level gravity...
"We need to design the orbital module strong enough, not only because accelerating the particle flow will bring highly reflective rays, but also because it is mainly used to resist the gravity of the particle flow. When this particle stream around the star appears, its gravity will gradually reach a level comparable to that of a black hole, so as to attract stellar matter. ."
"And the closest to the particle beam will undoubtedly have the strongest gravity. Although on a large scale, there is no problem with the structure of the ring, but on a small scale, it may be difficult for the orbital ring to rely only on the power of the structure to resist the black hole-level gravity, which is the force that even the atomic nucleus can forcibly tear apart."
Collectors must consider this, otherwise after the ring accelerates to a certain level, the ring will be torn from the vertical direction due to the strong gravity caused by the particle beam.
"Well... then let the orbital module rotate on its own long axis, so that we can resist gravity."
Some individuals tried to put forward their own ideas, but this idea was quickly rejected by other peers.
"Nonsense! The ring is a whole, how to rotate?
"Yes, it's okay if the track is a straight line, but this is a curved ring, which will inevitably cause the ring wall to withstand tensile force when it is on the outside, and compression force when it is on the inside."
Collectors began to have an in-depth discussion based on this issue. Not all individuals think that the ring will not be able to withstand it. These collectors are very confident in the longitudinal bearing capacity of the ring.
"There is electromagnetic force on a small scale, which allows the structure to be deformed."
"It depends on what the gravity of the black hole is. The gravity of the planet is not at the level of planetary gravity. The distance between atoms will be narrowed, and the volume of the orbital module will shrink at the macro scale, which will inevitably lead to the deformation of the whole ring structure, further causing the electric field orbit to be unable to remain in the ring state, thus making the whole knot. The structure collapsed.
In order to make all individuals understand, the physical model of the ring is generated again in the channel. This time, the cross-section of the ring is also the cross-section of the orbital module. On this cross-section, gravity will form forces in four directions to squeeze the cross-section.
For peers, the two-force balance, the force in these four directions, will not cause displacement of the cross-section, but don't forget that the premise of this force analysis is that the subject itself will not be destroyed by force. The pressure in the four directions will force the circular cross-section to compress, the atomic nucleus will be squeezed together, and the electrons will be squeezed out. When gravity reaches a certain level, it can even be squeezed into a neutron demation state.
Therefore, the collectors are distressed.
Finally, some individuals put forward their own ideas.
"It's all the same. We just need to think about it according to the idea of fighting against the pressure of the planet. We just need to use a very strong material to make orbital modules to fight against the strong gravity of the particle beam."
"What materials are used?" Other collectors asked.
The proposer of the plan explains his own method to solve this problem.
"With the proton lattice, we can even save the material that makes a strong electric field. The proton lattice is a superconductor. The superconductor is different from the general material. The conductor loses resistance, and there is no heat loss when the current flows through the superconductor. The current can form a strong force in the wire without resistance. Current, thus generating a super strong magnetic field.
"But superconductor has critical values, whether it is current, magnetic field or temperature."
"It's okay to say that the particle beam acceleration is very close to the subsequent stage of particle beams, because the particle beam is close to the strong inertia of the speed of light, which requires a very high electric field value to constrain and deflaculate the particle beam. I'm afraid that superconductor is not qualified for the work of the orbital module."
Even superconductor has its own limitations. If the current exceeds a threshold, the superconductor will lose its superconductivity and become an ordinary conductor, not only the current, but also the magnetic field, temperature, etc., which can make the superconductor lose its superconductivity.
Considering that the electric flow required by the ring is very large and the field strength required to deflector is very high, collectors are not very optimistic about the application of superconductors in the design of the ring.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand that the properties of superconductors are different from ordinary conductors, have no resistance, and have strong antimagnetism, etc. After passing through critical current, the superconductor has changed back to ordinary conductors, and there is resistance. The antimagnetism is not as good as before, and the physical properties directly become another pair.
In mathematical calculation, even if the number changes 100 billion digits after a few decimal points, the result cannot be the original one. Therefore, the seekers who seek to be foolproof have not considered applying superconductors in the ring.
The proposer rejected this view of the same people, because it is clear that the lack of understanding of things by its peers leads to misjudgment, and they think less about some things.
"No, superconductor can be competent. Because the passing current will generate a magnetic field on the surface of the superconductor, when the current is large and the surface magnetic field exceeds the superconducting critical magnetic field, the superconductor will be transformed into a normal conductor. The fundamental reason is that the structural state of the superconductor is broken, so it is restored to an ordinary conductor, but We have the gravitational force provided by the particle beam. This strong gravity will give a strong pressure on the proton crystal lattice, forcing the crystal structure of hydrogen nuclei not to be broken by the strong electric field, and the disguised one can also raise the critical value of the superconductor, at least greater than the gravitational pressure received by the hydrogen nucleus to break the state of the superconductor. historical
The problem was solved, and the collectors began to design more detailed parts of the orbital module. Just as the design of the orbital module was about to be completed, some individuals shouted in the channel.
"No! No! There is no need to make proton lattice!"
"What material is used without proton lattice?"
The other collectors were stunned.
"No, you misunderstood." The dissenting collector explained.
"I mean, we can first make liquid metal hydrogen, and then use the gravity of the particle beam itself to finally compress liquid metal hydrogen into a proton lattice, so that we can get an integral proton lattice ring instead of relying on piece of patchwork. As you know, there is an error in the patchwork. It is difficult for us to be accurate to each particle, and as the number of patchwork increases, the error value will become larger and larger.
