First collision test

The construction of the Large Particle Collider of the Ring ε Eri galaxy requires the consumption of more than 700 billion tons of materials. Such a huge amount of materials, all from the ε Eri a above mining is not realistic. But Hawk has its own plan, that is, part of the material from the ε Eri a above mining, and another part, from the asteroid belt mining.

In order to this ambitious goal, Hawk in the ε Eri b-ε Eri system of five Lagrangian points, two stable point location, the construction of two super giant metal processing plant, as well as supporting a variety of equipment production plant.

After the completion of the ε Eri a moving project, more than 20,000 material transport ships will have a large part of idle, just in time, Hawk will be divided into two parts of these vacant ships, part is responsible for transporting materials from ε Eri a, and the other part, is responsible for collecting minerals from the asteroid belt.

Hawk will manipulate the ε Eri ship, carrying the supporting escort ship, sitting in the ring ε Eri galaxy large particle collider construction orbit, as the center, commanded the entire ε Eri galaxy star system construction project.

But at this time, a serious problem has come to the fore. That is, the signal delay is really too serious. Among them, the distance from ε Eri a to here, the nearest time also reached eighteen million kilometers, which means two minutes of communication delay, at the same time, the asteroid belt, and here the communication delay also reached one minute and twenty seconds.

Such a communication delay is basically unacceptable, but Hawk has not developed a long-range communication technology, it really has no choice, Hawk in the asteroid belt and ε Eri a, each built a giant photonic computer, in these two photonic computer, Hawk spent great effort to set up a set of automatic processing procedures as perfect as possible, used to process most of the data, only very important Only the very important data will take time to send here and be handled by Hawke himself.

Through this means, Hawke was able to raise the efficiency to a level that was barely acceptable to him. However, in his heart, Hawke is still very dissatisfied with this processing mechanism.

"Super distance communication technology, involving quantum entanglement technology, which belongs to the microcosm, and to study the microcosm, it must be studied through the ring ε Eri galaxy large particle collider, hey, it's really contradictory."

This mutually contradictory situation made Hawke sigh. There is no way, Hawk only through the relatively backward technology of radio wave communication, to simultaneously take into account ε Eri a ground construction, as well as the construction of the Large Particle Collider.

The construction of the Large Particle Collider, if only from a start construction is undoubtedly not cost-effective. After calculations, Hawk intends to start construction at four points at the same time, and then the four sections of the pipeline will be connected to each other to form a complete pipeline.

But this way of construction, the requirements for accuracy is very high, after all, if the four sections of the pipeline is completed, to the point of articulation only to find that these pipes a above, a below, can not be connected, then the fun is big.

Hawk's standard is, in this 200 million kilometers of pipeline, its up and down horizontal error, at most not more than a minute. This is a high demand on the construction process can be imagined.

Fortunately, there is neutron star positioning technology, Hawk with the help of sixteen neutron stars, for the horizontal position of these pipelines to make a precise determination, which ensures the accuracy of the construction process requirements.

After all the technical difficulties were overcome, Hawk began the construction project with a bang. Thousands of ships were constantly shuttling between the asteroid belt and the construction site and ε Eri a and the construction site, bringing countless supplies, while Hawke commanded millions of robots and started a busy construction project.

The materials brought by these ships were all parts that had been built on the ground or at the large space factories at the Lagrange points of the ε Eri b-ε Eri system, and Hawk only needed to command the robots to assemble them, so the speed of Hawk's construction reached an amazing point.

Among them, the two ends of section A, is extending to both sides at a rate of more than eight thousand kilometers per day, which means that, just at section A, Hawke will lay more than eight thousand kilometers of pipes per day, a distance that exceeds the radius of the Earth. Such rapid construction progress became possible only with the support of Hawk's unparalleled huge computing power and a large number of robots, as well as powerful interstellar transport capabilities.

Hawk divided the Large Particle Collider into four sections, of which, Hawk sat in the a section, a section of the construction of the most rapid, bc two sections are located on both sides of the ε Eri system, the construction speed of the next, d section is located in the back of the ε Eri system, the farthest from Hawk, the communication between the two places must be completed through the satellite transit, accordingly, the construction progress of the d section is the slowest.

In Hawke's expectation, the entire construction project down, at least twenty years of time is needed to complete the construction. In other words, the twenty years, Hawke's focus will be completely on this project, basically no energy to do other things.

But Hawke believes that this payment is worth it. In the dark universe, the strength of technology is the most life-saving things, in order to develop technology, pay a greater price is not too much.

Because the distance is too far, the communication delay is too serious, ε Eri a at the space battery construction basically came to a standstill. At present, the most important thing is to ensure the operation of the mining base, metal processing plant and equipment foundry above ε Eri a.

The construction of the Large Particle Collider in the ε Eri system is slowly progressing in this busy, but methodical situation.

Some time after the construction began, Hawk was surprised to find that with the control of tens of thousands of material transport ships, as well as millions of robots, his computing power was still left over, which greatly exceeded Hawk's expectations.

In the ε Eri a above, manipulating hundreds of millions of robots, as well as a variety of turrets, ships, will almost Hawk's computing power occupied 100%, so Hawk can not wait to start the construction of the new computer, but after coming here, Hawk found that, in addition to the communication delay is serious, the construction of the large particle collider is actually not a problem.

So, while building, Hawke also began the research and development of the new computer, as well as the compilation of the Qunyin Canggu record.

In these thousands of years of development time, Hawk's group of stars has included more than 200 billion stars, except for some dwarf stars, or stars covered by dense dust, or too far away, the luminosity is too dim and so temporarily can not be observed stars, most of the stars in the galaxy are included by Hawk. The entire galaxy, there are about 200 billion stars, of which, about 140 billion stars were included by Hawk into the group of the vault.

Time, little by little, twenty years time passed, the whole large particle collider more than 200 million kilometers of engineering, has been built by Hawk finished 190 million kilometers, also at this time, Hawk ushered in the a section and bc two sections of the convergence of the day.

The first to connect with the a section, is the end of the b section. In order to meet this significant day, to ensure that nothing is wrong, Hawk specially manipulated the ε Eri galaxy, personally came to the interface, field command interface work.

The distance between section a and section b was less than one kilometer, and with Hawk's usual construction speed, it would only take a few minutes to lay the link. But after all, this is where the two sections meet, or need to be careful, so Hawk deliberately slowed down the construction speed, personally manipulated the robot, began to lay a piece of the pipe wall.

Gradually, the distance between section a and section b is getting closer and closer, and finally came to the critical moment of articulation. At this moment, Hawk was surprised to find that the horizontal error between section a and section b, only less than a centimeter, almost negligible.

Imagine, in the darkness of space, from the distance of more than tens of millions of kilometers from two points to extend two sections of the pipe, to the two sections of the pipe exactly together, how accurate technology is required?

This is a nearly impossible task, but through the neutron star ultra-precise positioning technology, Hawk did it. This represents another leap forward for Hawk on the technical level.

"It is not in vain that I have struggled hard for twenty years." Hawk thought with joy and left the place after checking everything here.

The successful articulation of section a and section b represents the completion of most of the project, the next, is the articulation of section a and section c. Hawke still personally arrived at the articulation, field command articulation work. The result, also did not exceed Hawke's expectations, a section and c section of the articulation, the error is only one point two centimeters, also exceeded Hawke's expectations.

After the completion of the connection between section a and section b and c, Hawke began to direct hundreds of thousands of robots to enter the interior of the pipeline, the laying of key lines, as well as equipment acceptance, inspection work. At the same time, Hawke came to the interface of section d and section c, directing another articulation work.

A total of four sections, a total of four points of articulation, the error is all within two centimeters. This achievement made Hawk's heart full of pride.

After the four segments are all connected, it means that the construction of the ring ε Eri galaxy large particle collider has been completed 95%, the remaining 5%, is some equipment debugging, position fine-tuning, key line laying, transformation and other work, these jobs, about one year to complete.

Hawk poured a lot of effort into this building, which is the culmination of his highest construction process, and Hawk set up an anti-meteorite impact laser cannon every 100 kilometers on it, and a raw material storage point every 1,000 kilometers, with a total of more than 10 million robots working for this instrument.

After everything was ready, Hawk maneuvered the ε Eri to the main control room of the Large Particle Collider and gave a solemn command.

"Ring ε Eri Galaxy Large Particle Collider, start the first collision test!"
