Chapter 148: Global enthusiasm for building a star ring

One working day later, the Yugong No. 7 transport ship completed loading, carrying 1500 million tons of metals, rare earth elements and other minerals, and returned to the base.

Three hours later, the spacecraft arrived at the No. 2 Ring Construction Port, located kilometers away from the Earth.

In the dark and empty space, there is a huge man-made object as big as a star floating quietly. The 1200-meter-long Yugong No. 7 transport ship is just like a grain of rice on the table in front of it.

Tens of thousands of spacecrafts and unmanned robots shuttled between them, busy transporting supplies and building structures. From the steel frame being built, it can be roughly seen that this is a curved ring facility.

【Global Industrial Star Ring】.

This is the name of this celestial-level creation, and it will also be the largest object ever built by Earth civilization - only temporarily, because humans will have to build star rings on other planets in the solar system later.

Finally, they even built an ultimate star ring around the sun - the [Solar Fusion Controller]. That is truly a super creation beyond imagination.

As the Earth transformation work has just started and the global industrial capacity is not yet strong enough, only three sections of the first phase of construction of the Global Industrial Star Ring have been started.

The entire Global Industrial Star Ring will be built in sections, divided into 24 segments, each of which will be connected to the surface through a space elevator.

According to the design, the entire ring will have a circumference of 10 kilometers, a width of 1000 kilometers, a thickness of 220 kilometers, and a total mass close to 1.5 times the mass of the moon, or 1.5 gigatons (10 to the 20th power tons). In addition to using up all the lunar debris, at least 0.5 of the moon's mass will need to be transported from Earth to complete the construction.

A truly celestial creation!

After completion, the star ring will be parked in a global orbit 10,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface, becoming the Earth's industrial space infrastructure and an important equipment for stabilizing the planet's ecology.

With the experience gained from building the Global Industrial Star Ring, it will be easier for Earth civilization to build subsequent star rings around Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, etc.

Transforming the Earth's industrial system, transforming the Earth's energy and digital infrastructure, building high-tech agricultural factories, building planetary drive systems, building a global star ring... a series of systematic and comprehensive transformations are in full swing on the Earth, and nearly 60 billion Earths have been involved in this massive transformation project.

Except for children under the age of 12, almost all people on earth participate in production and construction in one form or another.

At the same time, on Mars, which is in the same orbit as the Earth, a Mars transformation project is also being carried out simultaneously, with a fully automated production system controlled by artificial intelligence as the main component and humans as the auxiliary component.

Compared with the Earth, the transformation of Mars is more intense and radical, because there is no need to consider ecological protection, and even nuclear weapons are used to open mountains and mine. Continuous nuclear power plants and industrial factories are built, like a layer of cold steel moss, gradually spreading on the surface of Mars, and it seems to be covering the entire planet.

According to the plan, the entire Mars will be hollowed out, and the crust will be replaced by artificial objects, turning it into a steel planet of iron and fire. The entire planet is an integrated super factory that can digest a celestial body the size of the moon in just one year.

After the transformation is completed, Mars will become the main force of the Sky Patching Project. It will have the ability to move freely in the solar system, park near other planets, and directly transform other celestial bodies.

Time flies quickly, and in the atmosphere of global infrastructure construction, all of humanity has fallen into a kind of collective frenzy.

The pilot program of the Global Workforce Completion Program was completed in three months and was officially launched on a full scale.

A large number of knowledge indoctrination devices have been put into production, and knowledge indoctrination has officially replaced high school and university education. Earth civilization only retains compulsory education, and all subsequent education is replaced by knowledge indoctrination in order to quickly obtain a large number of high-quality talents.

In just one year, global illiteracy was eliminated and the per capita knowledge level reached university level, with more than half of the population having master's degree level and one-third having doctoral level knowledge.

The following year, with the construction of fully automated industrial factories around the world, robots of various types came off the production line in large numbers, and manual labor jobs in human society were quickly replaced by robots.

Humans with advanced knowledge become managers of robots. Work that previously required hundreds or thousands of people to complete can now be accomplished by one person controlling a team of robots.

The productivity of Earth's civilization is increasing rapidly at an exponential rate.

Agricultural factories were built in large numbers, and the output and variety of global agricultural products were greatly enriched, far exceeding the highest levels in history. Daily necessities in the world were unprecedentedly abundant, people had no worries about food and clothing, and their material life was extremely affluent, allowing them to devote themselves to work without any worries.

The application of technologies such as household robots, high-simulation virtual reality, high-efficiency hibernation cabins, and medical recovery cabins has greatly improved human health, shortened the time required for human sleep, greatly enriched human spiritual and civilized life, and provided sufficient guarantee for maintaining high morale in the world.

Unlike the miserable situation when the Mountain Moving Plan was implemented before, the people on Earth did not have to live in misery due to the huge project of the Sky Repair Plan. Instead, their living standards and happiness index are better than the best times before the disaster.

Everyone has an ideal, and everyone strives to continue the great and glorious cause of human civilization. Everyone gets what they need, the elderly are well cared for, the sick are well treated, and there is almost no worry about education, medical care, housing, and employment.

Perhaps the only thing you need to worry about is your freedom to fall in love and finding a partner for yourself.

However, if it is really difficult, you can also match your ideal partner through the global matchmaking platform set up by the government. If you are a woman, you don’t even need to get married, you can directly apply for in vitro fertilization to have offspring. Men can apply for steel uterus surrogacy to have offspring.

However, the coalition government still advocates for complete families. Regardless of whether it is male or female, male or male, female or female, at least two people must play the role of parents in order to approve the surrogacy application, so as to avoid causing great damage to social ethics.

After all, husband and wife, family and kinship are the important core of human civilization and the basic units of human society.

If even this is lost, it will be difficult to guarantee that human civilization will not go astray in the future, or even gradually lose its humanity.

In the past few years when the transformation projects of Earth and Mars have been continuously advancing, the alien friend [Traveler] who brought great help to the Earth civilization seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and has not appeared since.

The United Government tried various methods but failed to contact Him. In the end, they had to give up and wait for the other party to contact the Earth.

In 2052, eight years had passed since the Earth fully launched the Sky Repair Project.

Mercury, the planet closest to the sun in the solar system.

In the low-Earth orbit of this planet that has long been ignored by the earthlings, there is a spherical black spaceship parked. It is almost one-tenth the size of Mercury and revolves around Mercury like a mini satellite, always within the range of the sun's radiation.

There is a hidden world inside the black spacecraft, which is hollow like an eggshell. Rings covered with glowing patterns are nested in circles, rotating like an armillary sphere.

In the center is an orange-yellow globe that looks like a miniature sun. Nuclear fusion is occurring steadily inside it at all times, providing energy for external devices.

In this bizarrely constructed spherical spacecraft, a figure is multitasking, controlling tens of thousands of devices in the spacecraft.

Without any protection or calmness, he floated next to the blazing fusion device, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius had no effect on him.
