With the empire of the branches of atomic materials science, science and technology once again ushered in the best of the past. Materials science, as a basic discipline, has achieved new developments, and has led to leap breakthroughs in other disciplines!

As the saying goes, the foundation determines the superstructure, and can create the materials you need from an atomic perspective. The entire field of materials science has ushered in revolutionary development, and countless new materials have emerged. Naturally, other scientific fields that are restricted by materials have liberated their restrictions and constraints.

The manufacturing of spacecraft has always been limited by materials. From the manufacturing of aerospace vehicles in the ground era, those expensive aerospace materials, to engines, and even every screw, whether it is a planet's internal aircraft or a planet used for space flight, materials are everything that determines their destiny!

The same is true in the interstellar era. The spacecraft made by the Empire is getting bigger and bigger, and the mass is naturally getting bigger. So far, the Empire has been able to manufacture large spacecraft with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, but when it reaches this point, scientists suddenly discovered it.

If the empire still wants to create a spacecraft of thousands of kilometers in size like a planet, it must face a test, the static balance of fluid, also known as the test of gravity balance!

The load differences caused by the ups and downs of the planet's surface topography will be fully compensated in deeper parts of the earth's crust and even deeper parts. Under a certain compensation depth, the pressure of the earth is in a state of static equilibrium of fluid. Therefore, the weight in the unit section cylinder above the compensation interface must be equal. Excessive surface load will lead to an equal amount of mass loss above the compensation interface to achieve static equilibrium, and vice versa.

In layman's terms, all cosmic celestial bodies, as long as they are of a certain level of mass, they will be affected by gravity balance and become a spherical shape!

Because the planet is the most stable only when it is in a spherical state, so why is the planet the most stable when it is round?

When the mass of the cosmic celestial bodies reaches a certain level, the extrusion of gravity will cause the internal melting and become lava (fluid).

At this time, the shape of this celestial body will be determined by the repulsion between gravity and the molecules. Although the repulsion between molecules is strong, it will only be effective within a very short distance. The effect of gravity can reach infinite distance, but it is the weakest force.

When the distance between molecules is too far, gravity will pull the molecules closer and squeeze them together. When the molecules are too close, the repulsion will take effect. It can easily defeat the gravity and push the molecules away until it is pushed far enough, and gravity will defeat the repulsion again to pull it closer.

The overall structure of the planet will be adjusted repeatedly in such a cycle until it reaches a equilibrium state. When each part is in the equilibrium state of gravity and repulsion, the planet will become a spherical shape!

We can blow a balloon, and the binding force of the balloon plastic can be regarded as gravity. The repulsion in the air is the same as the repulsion between planet molecules. Try to squeeze and pull up the balloon and see the same effect. When the balloon is round, it is the most stable.

At this time, the spacecraft of the Empire has been manufactured. Whether it is the mass or the volume of the aircraft, it has reached a level. If it grows bigger, it will be like a planet. If there is no strong keel to support it, it will collapse and turn into an iron ball, not an aircraft.

Therefore, before the keel technology has improved, the Empire could not continue to manufacture larger spacecraft. The keel that can support a thousand kilometers of aircraft requires no worse materials than the materials used to manufacture warp engines!

You can imagine that the keel bone that can support a planet's powerful gravity, and the material of this keel bone can be imagined!

But now, the Empire has already opened up the technology of atomic materials and can create the materials it needs from an atomic perspective. Whether you are creating a warp engine or building a spacecraft with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, there is no problem. Materials are no longer a restrictive condition for everyone! Do whatever you want!

So the first space warship in the empire used to sail in the sea of ​​stars and to beat aliens was finally built. Its name is "Star!"

"Star" means the empire's ambition for the universe, the sea of ​​stars, and the empire's ambition to expand externally. This is used to conquer the sea of ​​stars!

Because the designed "Star" is a space warship with a diameter of thousands of kilometers and is as huge as a planet, it was built on the already empty asteroid belt.

After these mining, the asteroids in the asteroid belt have basically been swept clean. Now, the companies that make a living in interstellar mining are going to the Kuiper belt, which has more resources, to mine asteroid belt, so the asteroid belt is very empty and used by the empire to store various smelted resources.

Choose to build here, first, be close to storage resources, so as to facilitate the extraction of various resources and save transportation troubles; second, it is also very close to Mars, so scientists and engineers can get here quickly;

Countless huge spacecraft came to a void in the asteroid belt, far away from various channels in the solar system, and also away from the two huge planets of Jupiter and Mars, especially Jupiter. Jupiter's gravity is too great, and it has a great impact on building spacecraft and must be far away from it.

A huge planet, which is only tens of kilometers, consists of smelted steel, was dragged over by several large spacecraft. This is the largest of the many resource planets stored by the empire. These resources are generally used when building spacecraft.

The massive amount of steel needed to build the Star, especially the keels in it, must be made of gold. These are all consumed by unknown amount of steel, so the empire began to reduce the construction of other spacecraft and prioritize resources on the construction of the Star.

Because the Star is so huge, there is no way to build it in the aircraft factory, so it can only be placed in the void. Scientists and engineers are flying spacecraft to build it.

The first construction of the "Star" was naturally a keel used for load-bearing. The steel planet with a diameter of tens of kilometers was firmly fixed in the void by three huge spacecraft using thick and long carbon fiber ropes.

Then several spacecraft of the same large size slowly started the internal magnetic field concentration device. These spacecraft were spacecraft specially used to build atomic materials. They had no other functions and could only generate powerful magnetic fields and constrain and concentrate the magnetic fields.

The powerful magnetic fields inside these spacecraft began to operate, and were constantly concentrated to aim at the fixed steel planet. Several waves visible to the naked eye acted on the planet. These magnetic fields used to create atomic materials were strictly calculated and could pull atoms, but could not withdraw atoms.

Several magnetic field waves have been strictly calculated. The angle and area of ​​the fluctuation are based on the pre-set area. The steel planet begins to undergo significant changes. The original circular surface and the entire planet begins to slowly be lengthened.

This feeling is like when we are kneading dough, we slowly stretch the kneaded dough into noodles. To be precise, this steel planet was stretched into a stick, a thick stick!

This process is very slow and takes a long time. During this period, various other elements of metal materials need to be added to the ground. At the same time, spacecraft dragging smaller steel planets to join in.

Creating materials from an atomic perspective is not an easy task. Even if the empire has countless scientists, it can only do this at the moment.

This process continued until more than ten months passed, and the entire steel planet with a diameter of dozens of kilometers had completely changed at this time, from the original spherical shape to a stick that was thousands of kilometers long, with the diameter of this stick also exceeding ten kilometers.

"Sun Wukong's golden cudgel is just like this!"

When scientists saw the huge bones quietly placed in the void, they couldn't help but sigh. Sun Wukong's stick was only 108,000 kilograms, and the stick in front of them was more than 180,000 kilograms in mass!

Scientists don’t know how many steel planets were put into it. The original bit of steel was not enough to create a stick that lasted thousands of kilometers and had a diameter of more than ten kilometers, or to be precise, a keel!

By random calculations, you will know that if its mass is placed on an ordinary celestial body, it will definitely collapse into a huge planet due to the influence of gravity equilibrium, but this keel has no sign of collapse!

Materials made from an atomic perspective have incredible abilities. You should know that this is a kind of second only to quark materials and degenerate materials. Not to mention quark materials, just degenerate materials, and even neutron stars are also a kind of degenerate state!

Neutron stars are one of the few end points that a star may become after a supernova explosion occurs through gravity collapse. In short, it is a star body between a white dwarf and a black hole formed by a star whose mass does not reach the end of its lifespan.

The materials created by the atomic angle are second only to degenerate materials. It can be imagined that their power is not enough to make them collapse into a planet. If they cannot support them now, how can they support the "Star" with a larger mass?
