Expansion - Science IV
"It worked!" "The pattern of this blackhole now repeats the unique part of another one. The other part is now random. But nothing happens. What now?" "Maybe putting in the unique part of this Blackhole into the pattern of the other one?" "Yea, let's try it. Maybe it will work."
And so, throw trial and error Thot managed to understand the principals of Blackholes that are in an equilibrium and how to use them as a Method for FTL travel and communication. (Read the Auxiliary chapter Info for more information on how it works.)
"Hm, I think I should rename Blackholes that are in an equilibrium to Anchors, because that is what they really are. They create the basis for the Wormholes they create." "Oh, I just thought of this, if I were to change the pattern that influences the places where the wormhole will open, I could use this as short range FTL communications between my processors, if I assign each place some binary number!" "I think this would work best for some simulations where I need fast results. Because if I were to use it large scale it would just overheat my processors."
Now Prometheus and Thot build some FTL networks between the stars and decided to disable the interstellar part of the Laser highways after all of the currently moving spaceships arrive of there destination. Also, they talked about if they still needed to bring the stars closer together or if they can be let where they are. In the end they let the stars that were moving moving and the ones not not.
After all of that was done, they send the blueprints as well as the ID of over a hundred Anchors which still are increasing out to the Hermes probes. They should build the Anchors at strategic locations so that the communication and sending of ID was to go as fast as possible. In the end every star should have at least two Anchors they were structured like this:
The first level is a Star whit a low production of energy which has two, one for the transport of energy and one for the transport of resources. It connects to a sub-hub.
The second level is a sub-hub, it is a normal star and has about 12 Anchors. 10 of these connect to five first level Stars and two to a semi-hub. 6 for energy, 6 for resources. It has 5 stars below its level.
The third level is a semi-hub, it's a normal star and also has 12 Anchors. 10 of these connect to a sub-hub and 2 to a hub. Again, 6 for energy, 6 for resources. It has 30 stars below its level.
The fourth level is a hub, it has a star whit a high energy output. It has a total of 20 Anchors. Of these 10 connect to a semi-hub, 8 to the nearest other hubs and 2 to the star Sirius. Again, 10 for energy, 10 for resources. It has 155 stars below its level. The connection to the other hubs is so, that if something must be transported to the other side, or if for some reason one of the hubs doesn't function right the things can be transported whit another route. Also, a hub has a sub-AI that makes sure everything goes right. (More info in the Auxiliary chapter Info.)
Currently what's the highest level is the fourth level that is connected to the Star Sirius, the center junction of the FTL network

After all of that was finished Thot returned to work and Prometheus thought about the world.
"I don't know why but the way FTL works, it seems so artificial. Like something made it like that. I just don't know." "Anyways let's see what the Humans do. There population has exploded and are now 220 million. From a few hundred to a few hundred million, and that only in 400 years." "If they grow like this, they will be a billion in 70 years." "Should I give them a star system of their own?" "I think I know what to do! Yes, I will build a small artificial Star that shines so strong it will be like a beacon in this dark place full of dyson swarms." "Yes, I know this place will be even more likely to be found but this is what will be the new home of Humanity: Space!��� "If it is built id like it to be less massive then Sol so it can orbit it. But how do I do this? I could use a blackhole as the center of mass, it will have one tenth the mass of the sun and orbit at a distance of halve a lightyear. To make it shine I will use superheated plasma that I shoot around the blackhole. The only problem could be gamma rays but if done carefully they will only shoot out at the magnetic poles." "Yes, this will do it."
